Here it was, the monthly Galactic New Inventions Catalogue! At last! Lum snuck off for some privacy so that she could pour over its contents and hopefully, she could find something that could finally allow her to win over her darling. She knew he cared, she really did. All he needed was a little help in bringing it to the surface.
Of course, the problem was that he'd be more than a little wary of pretty much anything obviously alien that she tried to use for that purpose. Whatever she chose from this catalogue had to be pretty clever, preferrably something that looked pretty typical of Earth. It wouldn't be easy, because he was becoming more aware of her little tricks and learning to dodge them.
But there were a few items here that were well within her price range that looked more than a little promising. Yes, that might very well work. She picked up her phone and dialled the catalogue number, and at the prompt entered the code for the item that had caught her attention.
Moments later, a spaceship arrived outside the window. Lum floated over, looking around nervously in case she was seen. Nobody around. Good! The package was picked up and paid for and then she tore it open. With this, she couldn't possibly fail!
