Arrival at JPL.

"Thank you, Mr. Bruce," Iris smiled, holding the chauffeur's hand while she stepped out of the stretched limousine.

"You're welcome, Mrs. Lee," he responded with a slight bow of his head.

Bruce helped the rest of the women out of the car before heading to the back to unload their luggage and shopping bags.

"Do you need a hand?" Jonathan offered.

"Nah, I got it," Bruce replied. "Besides, you seem to have your hands full with a dozen beautiful women."

"I think it's a mixed blessing," Jonathan shrugged.

"Well, if you don't want to spend the couple of years with them I'll gladly swap places with you!" Bruce laughed and the two men glanced over at the group of women standing at the front of the administrative building. "By the way, I got a chance to watch that episode you were on. You're like Superman! What can't you do?"

"There's plenty of things," Jonathan replied with a shrug, trying to deflect the question and the focus on himself.

"Such as?" Bruce wondered, setting down a suitcase to the ground.

"Well, I'm lactose intolerant so that means I can't drink milk without getting cramps and farting a lot," Jonathan chuckled.

"That's quite the kryptonite," Bruce laughed while grabbing another suitcase. "So can you tell me where is this project located?"

"If I tell you then I would have to kill you," Jonathan chuckled with a wink.

"Touché," the chauffer nodded with a smirk as the two men started to wheel the suitcases over to the entrance.

"Are you okay waiting for me before driving me to the airport, Mr. Bruce?" Iris asked.

"It's no problem, Mrs. Lee, I already got paid for the day," Bruce replied with a smile. "Your bags are still in the car."

"Oh, I need to get the three dresses!" Iris replied and walked back the limousine with the chauffer.

"Dresses?" Eva wondered.

"For Angela, Jennifer, and Ming Yue," Jonathan answered.

"Julie got them dresses too?" Natalie asked.

"Well, they are still technically part of the crew," Hane noted.

"Speak of the devil," Jonathan noted, pointing to the three young Chinese women — Angela, who was the Chinese epitome of the pale slender beauty; Jennifer, who was tall and slender like a runway model; and Ming Yue, who easily stood out from the crowd due to her enormous breasts — exiting the building with big grins on their beautiful faces. The twelve female crew members squealed with delight and clamored to hug the three backup members.

"What are you doing here?" Cindy inquired after giving Jennifer a hug.

"They're going to join us," Lauren explained.

"When did you arrive?" Eva asked.

"This morning," Jennifer answered.

"I thought you three were the backup crew," Leah said.

"We were," Ming Yue replied, "but the director called us to come here to join you."

"But we're flying out to Houston later today," Allison noted.

"No, there has been a change of plans," Lauren clarified, reading an email on her smartphone. "The director wants us to fly directly out to the project site. Our equipment and personal belongings will be at the site by the time we arrive."

The girls gave a collective gasp of surprise just as Iris returned from the limousine.

"Mom, this is Dr. Angela Le, Dr. Jennifer Cheng, and Dr. Gao Ming Yue," Jonathan introduced the three women, who politely smiled and nodded. "They will be joining us on the project after all."

"Oh, you are all doctors!" Iris beamed, ecstatic of the news that there would be three more beautiful women added to the crew as it would increase the possibility one of the women would become her new daughter-in-law.

"Hello, Mrs. Lee," Angela smiled with a bow. "I'm a psychiatrist."

"Nei hou, Lee tai tai," Jennifer smiled. "I'm an aerospace medicine physician to be exact."

"I am surprised you are not a model!" Iris smirked, looking Jennifer up and down.

"Nǐ hǎo, Lee tàitài," Ming Yue introduced herself. "I'm an astrobiologist."

"Oh, and you are very... naturally gifted compared to most Chinese girls!" Iris remarked about Ming Yue's well endowed cleavage but looking around at the other women and blushed. "No offense to anyone! I was a ballerina so I am flat chested!"

"It's okay, auntie!" Cindy assured her.

"We saw your episode and you guys did great!" Jennifer said, changing the subject before it got too uncomfortable.

"Oh, and I agree Jon is hot!" Ming Yue giggled, giving a quick glance at Jonathan.

The other women laughed.

"Oh, yes! I want to give you three girls your cheongsam," Iris bubbled, handing the three boxes she was holding over to Angela, Jennifer, and Ming Yue.

"Thank you, auntie!" the women thanked in unison with a slight bow.

"I hope it fits you," Iris remarked to Ming Yue.

"I'm sure it will," Hane noted

"How did you know our measurements, auntie?" Jennifer wondered.

"Long story short, Julie's husband has connections at NASA and got the measurements of our flight suits," Jonathan explained.

"But we're not suppose to get gifts from..." Ming Yue began.

"Don't worry, regifting is legal!" Iris interjected, glancing at her son for assurance. "These my gifts to you!"

"The dress is gorgeous!" Jennifer gasped.

"Auntie got us lingerie too!" Jade divulged.

"Lingerie?" Jennifer wondered.

"And swimsuits!" Crystal chimed in.

"And dresses!" Amber added.

"Auntie took us shopping," Lauren explained.

"You girls missed out on the all the fun last night!" Allison chirped.

"We did?" Ming Yue frowned with disappointment, looking at Jennifer.

"Yeah, we went to a fancy restaurant and then went swimming!" Natalie said. "I tried at least."

"I can take you three to buy some clothes!" Iris offered.

"Mom, we don't have the time," Jonathan sighed.

"We're going clothes shopping again?" Zoe whined, taking her eyes off her smartphone briefly.

"I will buy you video games or laptop!" Iris offered.

"Fine..." Zoe grumbled and went back to typing on her phone.

"Well, our flight isn't until six," Lauren interjected.

"Mr. Bruce said he was already paid for the day so I can ask him to drive us back to Melrose Avenue!" Iris suggested. "It would be very unfair that Dr. Le, Dr. Cheng, and Dr. Gao not get any clothes before you leave."

"Mom, we were suppose to take you on a tour of JPL," Jonathan whinged.

"We can go for lunch!" Iris pressed, ignoring her son. "My treat of course!"

"The tour won't take long," Lauren announced. "Now let's bring the suitcases inside, everyone!"

"Will I get to see what you girls are working on?" Iris asked the three engineers as Jonathan held the door open for the women.

"Yes, we'll visit the Fabrication Shop," Natalie answered.

After the last of the fifteen women entered the building, Jonathan looked over at the limousine and saw Bruce give him a thumbs up. Jonathan shrugged, accepted his fate, and joined the group inside.
