Plot
Yuuki Rito, the male protagonist, is looking at his crush Sairenji Haruna, while she is walking along the hallway. However, his friend Saruyama Kenichi grabs Rito and teases him stalking the girl. Rito defends himself as just looking for opportunity to confess her.

After school, Rito awaits for Haruna at the gate of Sainan High. However, he is not bold enough to confess her, as he ends up hiding in the bushes.

When Rito gets home, his younger sister, Yuuki Mikan tells him that their father would be coming home late, but he is too depressed for his failure of confession, so he is very indifferent to Mikan's words, and Rito goes upstairs into his room where he calls up Kenichi and discusses the event in the school.

Kenichi has expected that Rito would fail his confession as Rito gets mad at the remark. Kenichi explains how it has been in his pattern already, as Rito is usually aggressive, but when it comes to girls, he is pathetic. Kenichi also adds that Rito is too naive as he easily faints for curves of a girl in a swimsuit, but Rito denies that it was long years ago as he no longer behaves in this way. However, Kenichi then dares Rito to imagine Haruna in a swimsuit, which brings about Rito blush extremely. Kenichi humors that Rito hasn't changed yet. and Kenichi advises him to build up his confidence in talking to girls prior to confession.

Later on, Rito takes a bath. Rito ponders on the conversation with Kenichi, although Kenichi does not have a girlfriend, he still does have a point. Rito reminisces how his life has always been just filled with fun and video games except girls, until Haruna came to his life. However, he unexpectedly imagines Haruna in a swimsuit, and he gets flustered again. Rito considers how he can manage resistance to girls. Meanwhile, the water filled in Rito's bathtub suddenly began to fizzle and exploded, as Rito surprises.

After the explosion, a naked girl appears and exclaimed, "Escape successful". Seeing a naked girl before his eyes was too much for Rito's weak resistance to girls, and so he ended up screaming, as it alarmed his sister Mikan approach to the bathroom. Mikan finds Rito lying by the threshold of the bathroom. She asks what's wrong, and Rito stammered that there was a naked lady in the bathtub. Mikan checks the bathtub, despite there was no one but Rito insists what he saw there. Mikan smiles and tells that he should be able to put away his regard from fantasies.

While pondering about the events in the bathroom earlier, Rito has gotten dressed and was drying off. He is sure that he saw a naked girl in the bathroom, other than it was merely a fantasy.

When Rito goes back to his room, the girl he's seen in the bathroom is sitting on his bed wrapped in towel as she borrowed his. This surprises Rito back away and cover his eyes, meanwhile he asks the girl. The girl calls Lala who came from Planet Deviluke. as she affirms as an alien. Then, Lala reveals a long black tail of a spade-shaped tip at the base of her back hidden in the wrapped towel. Again, this makes Rito blush extremely. Lala explains although she has the tail, she does not transform when she sees full Moon. Rito asks Lala to hide it away already. Lala remarks that Rito is blushing as it seems very cute.

Rito wonders how Lala appeared in front of him. Lala shows up her invented bracelet, Pyon-Pyon Warp-Kun. as it relegates anyone living a short distance to indefinite destination. Lala explains that when she used it in her spaceship's bathroom pending escape about to fail, she came into Rito's bathroom. Rito also wonders why Lala has come from her spaceship, to which Lala replies that she tried escaping to Earth, as the pursuers are approaching to her. Then, Rito blushes again and urges Lala hurry to run, as it's been too sensible for him.

Meanwhile, something calls for Lala, then it flies into Rito's room from the open window and greets her. Lala rejoices that the robot successfully escaped as well. The robot then asks Lala about the dull-looking man, referring to Rito, thus Lala explains that he is the one whom lives there. Lala then realizes that she has not asked for his name yet, so Rito introduces himself, and Lala introduces the robot as Peke, a wearable robot she invented. Then, Lala threw away the towel she was wrapped in, as Rito blush again. Peke then transforms into a silly-looking costume for Lala to wear. Peke and Lala then discuss on what they should do now, as Lala has a few ideas.

However, Rito and Lala dumbfounds that the two men in tuxedos with long black and pointed tails leap into the window, One of the men babbles that Lala is a troublesome lady as they should have restricted her movements until they have left the Earth. Lala then gets angry at Peke since she figured out that the men must have followed Peke to get to her. At the corner of the room, Rito watches the scene and feels that the pursuers apparently deserve strong. Peke suggests Lala uses the bracelet again to run away from her pursuers, but Lala reveals after the bracelet is used, it needs charge a whole day for use.

Then, one of the men grabs Lala's arm, as she tries shaking him off to no avail. Meanwhile, Rito wonders the visitors were trampling the carpet with their shoes. Downstairs, Mikan wonders what Rito is doing there, and why there's making so much noise. Suddenly, Rito kick a soccer ball to the man holding Lala as the ball hits at him and he's lost the grip on Lala. Rito theb took Lala's arm and leads her out of the window and they get over the roofs of the adjacent houses.

Lala asks Rito why he did that, he replies that he could not stay quiet though a girl is being taken in front of him. Meanwhile, Haruna is taking her dog out for a walk as she's noticed the silhouettes of people running on the roofs. At first, she supposes it must be a thief, immediately she recognizes it to be Rito but wonders what he's doing over there.

Amid the evasion, one of the pursuers threw a giant truck beyond Rito and Lala, occluding the sole way-out of their path. The pursuers warns Rito not to interfere anymore, but Rito remains bold and threatens to spit on the pursuers if they come any closer. One of the men then talks to Lala and begs her to stop running away from home, to which Lala quickly rules out. And Rito is about to support her when he's suddenly realized that Lala is just running away from home, and not being kidnapped.

Lala exclaims that she doesn't care whether she's a successor or not, as she does not want to meet candidates of her fiance anymore. The pursuers tries reasoning with her that it was her father's will, to which Lala states that she doesn't care about her father. Then, she brings out a mobile phone to summon a giant vacuum. The pursuers then started getting scared at the sight of one of Lala's inventions. Then, Lala orders her machine to inhale them. However, it continues to suck everything in its sight, as the trees and the objects in the park being taking away. Eventually, the machine is about to suck Rito too. Then Rito begs Lala to stop it, but Lala doesn't not know how to cease it and it will end up exploding. Later on, she apologizes to Rito, getting stuck on a tree, as she forgot how to use it. Nevertheless, she is also grateful to Rito for saving her.

The next day, Rito gets covered with bruises and complains Lala that if she had used the invention earlier, he would have never tried to save her. However, Rito also realizes that if Lala had used the vacuum machine in his room, the outcome would have been a lot worse, so he is rather happier than the expectation. Rito then feels that he does not want to get involved with Lala again, and calls Lala a runaway alien.

Meanwhile, Rito is greeted by Haruna standing by him on the road he is walking down. Rito gets astounding that Haruna has closely talked to him, and he awkwardly greets her in return. Haruna thinks about the events she witnessed Rito running on the roofs. When she tries to ask Rito about it, it is impeded by Rito as a perfect chance to confess her. Rito getting blushed extremely stammers to do it, and he closes his eyes and shouted that, "Since the first time I saw you, I'm loving you. So please come with me".

However, at the moment, Lala has dropped in front of Rito, and his confession has been accidentally done to her. Lala accepts it positively as she feels the same way. And she asks Rito for betrothal, as he surprises it.

In a spaceship flown outside Earth, the men routing from Rito and Lala report to their boss. And the boss shall go to the Earth next, as he calls Lala a troublesome princess.
