Donald of Mars: Episode 85, More Risk

Miray's pregnancy impacts Donald and his partners in ways not expected

“Hold up a moment Donald,” Fred said, as they wrapped up shooting his last scene in Li’s apartment. The crew would shoot one more scene here, but Donald would not be in it. Larry was getting the honor of showing Li her finished apartment and showing her around it for the camera. Both Fred and Ekele felt Larry had a much better screen presence than him.

Noting how serious he was, Donald asked, “What’s up?”

“One of your girlfriends filed an injunction to cease and desist against us for a show I didn’t even know we were doing. Got it half an hour before we started shooting here today.”

Donald took a deep breath and let it out. “Chi isn’t my girlfriend, and for professional reasons, with Miray now her patients, she isn’t seeing her either, expect during the Yoga show and using the dojo after. Ekele spends more time with her than me now.”

“What’s going on?” he said, beginning to break down a camera that would not be needed again.

“The people backing the medical research are throwing a fit over Miray’s idea for a talk show about the lives of the first pregnant women on Mars. It appears part of the funding that the Mars’ Woman’s Clinic got was for an exclusive documentary and for first publication rights to the data being gathered.”
