They come to the room of destiny, a dimension filled with infinate doorways to possible futures upkept by a group of sentient rabbits. Lum, Ataru and Shinobu try and find an ideal future for themselves with Inaba as their guide but unfortunately each future is worse than the last. Soon the rabbits find out and try and put a stop to Inaba's little escapade.Rage! Sherbet
Oyuki is planning to make a business out of sherberts, little bird creatures who produce eadible sherbert cones out of their beaks. Ran takes one to make some money on earth, but she overworks it in the summer heat and the little sherbert begins to get really irritated. It breaks loose immediately causing havok all over Tomobiki. Because it destroys Benten's bike she intends to murder the obnoxious bird. Now Ran has to save the pesky bird from Benten and catch it for fear of Oyuki's retribution.Nagisa's Fiance
Ryuunosuke's father opens an abandoned tea shop on a remote island which Ryuu, Ataru, Lum, Shinobu and Mendou soon find out is still inhabited by the ghosts of it's former owners. The ghosts are none other than Mr. Fujinami's best friend and his lovely "daughter" named Nagisa who seems completely amourous of Ryuunosuke. It comes as a surprise to Ryuu that their two fathers had them engaged. Even after Nagisa is able to come back to life, it seems that "she" doesn't realise Ryuunosuke is a girl, but there's an ironic little story twist here.The Electric Household Guard
Mendou's father has gotten him a private bodyguard who turns out to be the brainless, illiterate and rather unintuitive Shingo, now a ninja. Shingo meets Ryouko and she decides to use him to cause some fun-filled trouble. She convinces Shingo to elope with her which causes Mendou and Ataru to follow in hot persuit. Of course Lum comes along to keep Ataru away from Ryouko. But as usual Shingo gets carried away and starts using his power and ninja tricks to fight back, with Ryouko intently helping to make things worse.I Howl at the Moon
Lum makes Ataru some sakura-mochi for a night time picnic watching the cherry blossoms. But Lum had made a mistake and accidentally made tsukimi-dango instead (which are traditionally eaten during moon viewing). Supposedly when eaten at the wrong time, it causes lycanthropy in humans. The next day Ataru finds himself becoming a werewolf along with Onsen-Mark who also ate some. Lum must now force Ataru to take the antidote before 24 hours are up, or he'll remain a wolf forever. Ataru however doesn't realise this, so he keeps evading Lum all night.Catch the Heart
On her way to a date with Rei, Ran obtains a pouch of heart candies that cause a heart to appear over whoever eats one. That person will fall in love with whoever takes that heart. But when the heart is let go, that person will return to normal. Ran tries to use the candies on Rei, but fails completely. In exasperation she gives them to Lum. After the candies cause a situation between Ataru and Lum, he takes to fulfill for his own lewd wishes. Soon these candies are cirulating around the school as everyone else tries to use them for their own ambitions.Goat and Cheese
On a hill within the Mendou estate there is a statue of a goat. Mendou tells his friends that it is forbidden to take a picture in front of that statue for it brings bad luck since the real life goat hated getting his picture taken. But Mendou's father takes a picture of them together anyway. According to his father, a phantom of the goat will come to eat the photographs and when that happens, those in the photo will die as a consequence. So with the help of Sakura they watch over the photographs all night. A night of terror they would never forget.More summaries to come...
