Programming is quite a difficult thing to wrap your head around. Tasks that seem simple or trivial for a human to perform are actually typically much more involved and complicated than they may first appear. One wrong line, or even putting the right lines in the wrong order could have quite devastating consequences. Even seasoned programmers may not see such small errors at first, just notice that the output was not what they were expecting it to be.
Lum was no expert. Now, normally those reprogramming a dream berry would be given the opportunity to test out the dream in advance, to view a sample of what to expect during the night. There was one problem though. Lum had stayed up just a little later than her body felt comfortable with, so when she was finished she skipped the debug stage, swallowed the berry and tucked in for a good night's rest.
That sound you heard was every programmer within earshot gasping in horror, almost none of them knowing why.
Her stated goal was simplicity itself: Add a touch more erotic content to her dream. Her intention more specifically was to modify her romantic scenario somewhat. When Prince Darling entered the tower to rescue her, she would initially seduce him into bed and then they would have sex before the dashing, romantic rescue.
Not exactly the most nuanced erotica, but you try coding something with a bit more kick to it. You'd have to both write it and code it, and over the course of a night? Who had the time for that sort of thing?
Well, no matter. Ataru's very minor interference exposed Lum's sloppy coding immediately. She had been quite specific in, for example, the movements of the dress under the belief that this would make the experience much more erotic. So, when Ataru showed up and said "have Lum in her bikini," the glitchy code responded by making a second Lum. One in the dress, one in the bikini. Now, that's not really fair to blame on Lum's poor coding skills, exactly. How was she to know the scenario would be meddled with? Sure, a more experienced programmer with more time would have probably constructed a more robust scenario with code that didn't unnecessarily duplicate data under such a specific circumstance, but for an amateur over the course of one night she's quite faultless.
"Ohhhh, Darling!" the two now naked Lums cooed, both of them holding tightly onto their rescuer, the brave Prince Darling who was behaving as programmed, planting kisses on their necks leading up around their jaw until eventually capturing their lips. The trouble was, due to the way he was programmed he really had no alternative but to kiss one Lum at one point on that trail, then immediately turn his head to kiss the other Lum in the same, mirrored position. "I've wanted this for so, so long!"
"You are very beautiful," Prince Darling said. This was a holdover from the previous, more romantic version of the script for this dream. Lum hadn't seen the need to alter the parts where Ataru complimented her. "I shall lay eyes upon no other women." Nor that part. "May thunderbolts strike me from the blue if I speak false!" Again, she really felt strongly this had to be part of her dream. "Allow me to show you how much I adore you!"
Ah, this was the new part. Ataru guided both Lums across to the bed and lay them down, all three of them now completely naked. This was it. This was the pivotal moment of the dream. Back in the real world the real Lum smiled and tucked her knees to her chest, heart beating in anticipation, and then...
And then her sloppy programming actually became something of a benefit. It was one of those odd little things. If not for Ataru inadvertently creating a second Lum then this would have been quite a disaster. You see, to her mind it seemed to make the most sense that her beloved Prince would use both his tongue and his penis to satisfy her. Well, yes. That seems rather straightforward, right? Of course she'd want something that simple, that vanilla.
Here's the trouble. You see, she had forgotten the proper sequence of events. First Ataru, sorry, Prince Darling would use his tongue to tease her, prepare her and then he would "put the sword in the stone," so to speak. Trouble was she had forgotten the vital step. It's a pretty common thing to see. In fact, this very site has a similar problem fairly often. How many times has it been where someone has forgotten to close a font tag, and suddenly everything after it is in that same font where it obviously shouldn't be?
Well, there we go. Lum had forgotten to instruct her darling Prince Darling to stop the appetizer before beginning the main course. That would have required... Quite the interesting contortion, if not for the fact there was now an extra Lum lying about, so one could take the tongue lashing while the other took the dicking.
"Yesss..." Lum hissed in the real world, as both experiences in her dream were relayed to her. She squirmed a little, then her hand began to trail its way lower down her body. Lower... Lower...
<b>"Who dares break into my tower?!"</b> bellowed a mighty dragon.
Prince Darling didn't move his face from between that Lum's thighs. Regardless, he still said quite clearly: "It is I, Prince Darling! You shall not hold this fair maiden prisoner any longer!"
Bet that's a ventriloquist act you'll never see on stage.
The brave knight rose to his feet, picking up his sword and marching out to face the dread dragon holding Lum hostage. He stood there bravely in the mighty beast's shadow, sword at the ready, willing to do whatever it took to bring his Princess to safety, to freedom and, after they were finished fucking each other silly, to the altar. But did you notice something missing from that brief description? Like, for example, details such as "putting his armour back on" or "removing either of his heads from either of the Lums' pussies"? That sort of detail?
"Foul monster!" Prince Darling proclaimed, demonstrating the next level of that ventriloquist act, displaying the strength to have a fully grown alien woman's legs wrapped around his head and a copy of that same woman having her legs tightly ensnared around his waist. "You have done enough harm! Begone, before I slay you!"
Quite the boastful thing to proclaim to the mighty dragon. It was a tall thing, with green scales that looked like they weighed as much as a house by themselves. It pays to remember that dragons are pretty big, pretty tough, and you really can't beat them with an ordinary sword. Never mind when buck naked save the girls being worn like a scarf or a belt, who offer much more of a handicap to fighting than a benefit by quite a long way.
"Ooh, tell them, Darling!" the Lums cooed in unison, humping away at their Prince. "Ah! So good! Darling, beat that dragon! Beat Virginity and set us free!"
"So... Good..." Lum whispered in the real world.
"You shall not escape that easily," the dragon hissed. Then it flickered. Lines of static replaced it. "My fire breath shall -" Another flicker. Static noise, lines of code. Then, it is gone. No more dragon. Instead another Lum. Wearing a harem outfit. On her hands and knees. And also about fifty feet tall from her crouched position. "If you wish to escape then you must pass my ultimate test!"
Yep. Dragon replaced by giant harem girl Lum. This was quite clearly caused by one of the most common programming glitches, known as "This looks about right, it's three in the morning, I'll comment it and test it when I wake up to make sure it works."
Truly, the greatest blight known to programmers the world over.

Dreams are weird. Even Ataru had learned that much from this experience. They twisted and they turned this way and that with no rhyme, nor reason. Events flowed into one another with not a care for cause nor effect nor anything in between. In that sea of madness it could be easy to get lost. To lose track of yourself. Forget what you were trying to do and start going with the flow. Therefore, Ataru Moroboshi resolved himself, he would remain utterly grounded (while his mental projection was some three feet above solid ground) so that he did not lose sight of reality!
"So? What now, boss?" asked his helpful talking blue alligator friend. "Maybe check in on Miss Sakura again? You could always see how her dream is going."
That would be the sensible thing, wouldn't it? Visit the babes he'd already been to and then carefully craft their dreams to his personal liking. Fill their unconscious with erotic desires and line them all up to point right at him. That would be the smart thing to do. The sensible thing.
But let's be honest. If Ataru was remotely in the realm of smart or sensible then he'd have already married the sexy alien babe who, for some reason, found him immensely attractive in spite of, well, him being Ataru Moroboshi. This is a major handicap in pretty much all aspects of life, so her continued interest is really very impressive.
"You know, I wonder what that cutey dreams about," Ataru said. "Hehehe, that's bound to be a lot of fun!"
- In Lum's dream, Prince Ataru does a Pantsless Ultraman transformation to subdue the giant Lum with his mighty weapon.
- Ataru decides he really needs to find out what Ryunosuke dreams about.
- Meanwhile Ran's new dream begins without onlookers.
- Ataru decides to try closing his eyes to instantly move somewhere else, and discovers it does work across interplanetary distances.
- Something else
Hmm, a few ideas for options off the top of my head:
