8

"Transfer Student Close Call...": Lum enrolls as a student in Ataru's class, nearly causing him to choke to death. During the school's sports festival, Ataru hits on Ran, a childhood friend of Lum, who transferred to the class next door to take revenge over a boy they both liked in the past. "Farewell Party Close Call...": A small robot in Ran's likeness tells Lum that Ran has decided to give up on exacting vengeance and to return to her planet. She invites both Lum and Ataru, who is unaware that Ran is an alien, to a farewell party. However, it turns out to be a deception to switch Ataru with a simulacre. The next day at school, Lum meets Ran who again expresses her desire for vengeance. Meanwhile on an alien world, a fearsome creature roars while holding a doll in Lum's likeness. (Source: Wikipedia)
