“Alright, is everyone here?” Dr. Alma asked as she glanced at the group in front of her.

“Lord Slick went off somewhere…again,” the Dr. Alma from Lord Slick’s verse shook her head in annoyance.

“I see…” Dr. Alma mused, “Alright, the reason why I asked everyone to come today for this meeting is due to the fact I heard that are a small number of complaints. Could you please elaborate?”

One of the Dr. Almas stood up.

“We understand why we have to lay low since we are all from different dimensions and how it could cause confusion,” she began, “But, we are frustrated for being cooped up for two months. We would appreciate if we could start working again and to be able to go out.”

“I understand where you are coming from,” Dr. Alma nodded, “It shouldn’t be much of a problem now since a small number of people have met you and believed us when we said that you’re our cousins. We just have to use the names we gave to you and keep up the charade.”

“Ah, and what about those that aren’t nebulanians?” the star nomad Mr. Slick asked.

“Hm, we could say that you are hybrids,” Dr. Alma suggested, “There are some nebulanian hybrids that are not born with tails or antennae.”

“Sounds plausible,” the star nomad Dr. Alma nodded.

“Ah, this li’l ol’ fella gives all his namesake’s permission to pretend to be him and to con certain folks,” Mr. Slick piped up, “It will keep all the fellas on their toes and make ‘em believe he somehow cloned himself. Ya just have to ask this fella first which folks ya can and can’t scam.”

The other Mr. Slicks cheered in delight.

“Alright, let us go through the names we had given each of you again,” Dr. Alma stated, “The Dr. Alma from the magical verse is known as Dora. She has long curly hair with white streaks and wears a pink sweater. We don’t need to change Goldie’s name. The younger Mr. Slick from the more modern verse is known as Bertus while his Dr. Alma is known as Almara. Li’l Bertie will be known as Bertie while the Alma from his verse will be known as Almary. He wears a blue bow-tie and blue vest. She wears a purple sweater and she has very long hair. The star nomad Dr. Alma will be known as Marie while her Mr. Slick will be known as Bert. Their Estella will be known as Poppy and their Bianca Penny. Lord Slick will be known as Laures while his Dr. Alma will be known as Mariam. She wears a green sweater. Everyone clear? Any questions?”

“May we work in the same hospital or clinic as you?”

“That will be fine, as long as you state that you are a cousin of mine and use your new name in order to avoid confusion.”

“This li’l ol’ fella won’t mind the confusion,” Mr. Slick chuckled, “We can all work together and scam lots of fellas.”

“What about me and Saffron?” Suzy piped up, “Can I tell them that you’re our parents and Ben and Mia are our older siblings?”

“You may do so,” Dr. Alma nodded, “We could say that we wanted to keep a low profile for you and Saffron.”

“What about us?” Fidel asked, “Can we say that we’re Mr. Slick’s siblings and yer siblings-in-law?”

“We came to an agreement and say that it’s fine. You were living on a different planet and decide to move here to be closer to the family.”

“Is it fine if I work at Sweet Upper Crust?” ‘Poppy’ asked.

“That would be perfect! I will just tell the staff that you’re my cousin that recently decided to move to this planet.”

“Can I also do bounty huntin’? and with ya?” ‘Penny’ asked.

“Eh, it’ll be fine,”

“Everyone is dismissed.”
