Write a story about a lesbian space saga. Here are some details about NAME_1 and NAME_2's physical appearance and how their differences impact their interactions:

NAME_1 is human, with brown hair and hazel eyes. She has two arms, two legs and walks upright on two feet. 

NAME_2 is from an alien species with furry blue skin, seven tentacles and yellow eyes. She moves around on multiple lower appendages. 

Their physical differences can cause challenges:

• NAME_2 has trouble grasping things with her tentacles at first. NAME_1 has to teach her how to gently hold her hand.

• NAME_2's tentacle caresses feel good to her but tickle NAME_1. They have to experiment to find ways of touching that work for both of them.  

• NAME_1 likes kissing but NAME_2's mouthparts are different. They have to be creative and find other ways of showing intimacy.

But over time they figure out ways to overcome these hurdles through patience, experimentation and good communication. NAME_2 learns to handle NAME_1 delicately with her tentacles. NAME_1 enjoys the unique sensations of NAME_2's caresses. They discover forms of physical intimacy that work for both of them. And they learn to appreciate each other's differences rather than see them as problems.

Write a sensual story about one of their romantic dates.
