Seventeen-year-old twins, Calvin and Marty McFly, were eating lunch in Dr. Emmett Brown's garage. Doc picked up BLTs at the local deli, which the three of them rather enjoyed. It was just the day after Valentine's Day, and Calvin was just feeling quite depressed. He even had to admit that he felt envious of his identical twin brother.

"You're so lucky, Marty," Calvin said, with a heavy sigh. "You've been dating Jennifer for over two years. I do manage to find a date here and there, but I sure can't seem to find the one who's just right for me. Tell me, Marty, how did you manage to do it?"

Marty was silent for a few minutes, before he replied, "Well, it simply happened. You meet the right girl, it just hits ya... It's like lightning." Doc had a look of bewilderment on his face, at the last word. Marty blushed, before he added, "That's quite the way true love was for me and Jennifer. Man, we couldn't keep our eyes off each other!"

Calvin sighed heavily, as he mumbled, "It's just not fair, though. Why can't I meet a girl like that? Tell me, Marty, what am I doing wrong? I know I have at least one son thirty years in the future, but do I ever end up actually having a happy marriage?"

"Uh, Calvin," Marty replied, gently, "I just think you need to calm down. We're only seventeen. Many people sure don't find their true love until they are somewhere in their twenties. You just need to have a little more patience, and not lose all hope."

"I understand that, Marty," Calvin replied, as tears came to his eyes. "It's just that... well, you have Jennifer... and you've had her for over two years. I actually don't get why I have to be the unlucky twin. I really felt lonely last night, while you were out."

"You're at least able to find girls who are willing to date you," replied Doc, just as he sighed wistfully. "Ever since that Jill Wooster fiasco in 1946, I've never been able to find anyone. To be honest, I'm actually distrustful of women. Jill had been real cruel towards me. She even suggested I must be living in a fantasy world, when I..."

"What is it, Doc?" Calvin asked, as he saw how the scientist looked real sad. "You can tell us, whatever it is. I guess talking about Jill Wooster is quite upsetting to you. She must've taken it rather personally, after you'd turned down her father's suggestion."

"It goes quite deeper than that," explained Doc, as tears filled his eyes. "I just don't think she ever truly loved me. In fact, I'm very positive she didn't. What I was going to say is, she accused me of living in such a fantasy world - when I refuted her claim that most of the people in this town hated me, which I never felt was exactly true!"

"What a minute, Doc!" exclaimed Marty. "Are you telling me that she really accused you of living in a fantasy world... just for believing that you really weren't the most hated resident in town?" After Doc nodded sadly, he added, "She's a real bitch! If I was there, I would've just told her off! She had no right to say such a cruel thing!"

"That sounds awful!" Calvin gasped, as he suddenly felt rather ashamed of being too wrapped up in his own problems - to understand that some people had it worse. "She sounds like a stuck-up snob! You certainly didn't need a woman like her, anyway!"

"Well, it's all in the past," Doc said, sighing. "There's really no sense in dredging up old traumas." After a brief pause, he added, "You know what I think might make us feel a little better? How would the two of you quite like to go on a time travel trip with me?"

"That sounds quite awesome, Doc!" Calvin exclaimed, as he was very thrilled with the idea. "It might be very nice for us to just have a little change of pace. It would be like taking a vacation, just the three of us. What's very awesome is, we don't have to tell our parents about this. We'll just simply come back here at the moment we that left."

"Precisely," replied Doc, as he broke out into a smile. "Actually, I was really thinking of visiting my favourite historical era - the Old West. When I was a kid - I always wanted to be a cowboy. Now that I have a time machine, we can acquire a taste of that era."

"That sounds like a great idea, Doc!" Calvin said, with great excitement. "I really love watching westerns, with brilliant actors as Clint Eastwood and John Wayne. It's quite going to be like stepping onto the set of a western. This could be a nice experience."

"It will be quite a little like being in a western," Doc agreed, "only we'll be there as the characters, and not as the actors. We'll really be able to see what it was like to live in that era." Turning to Marty, he asked, "What about you? How's that sound to you?"

"Well, uh, I was thinking I'd rather go back in time to the '60s," Marty replied. "We did visit the year 1965 last Halloween, but we only stayed real briefly. I really want to be able to experience more of what era was like, and see what our parents did then."

"You know what I think, Doc?" Calvin asked, with a smirk on his face. "I think Marty is still quite obsessed with rock and roll! I mean, just look at him! He doesn't seem to be interested in seeing the Old West. He'd much rather visit the '60s, where psychedelic rock was the thing." Turning to Marty, he added, "Don't you even try to deny that!"

"Calvin, don't tease your twin," Doc said, reproachfully. "We all just happen to have our own passions." Turning to Marty, he added, "Hey, Marty, we could visit the '60s another time. You don't have to come along, but it'll give you a very nice vacation."

"All right," Marty replied, somewhat reluctantly, "I guess I'll come along. It'll give me more time off from school, and I sure have to write a research report on a historical era. I guess I could do mine on the Old West, and it'll make my assignment easier."

Calvin couldn't help but chuckle a little, as he knew that Marty didn't care for school quite as much as he did. He rather had to admit that he'd quite miss certain modern conveniences, including things like indoor plumbing. He figured it'd be an interesting experience, nonetheless. He was quite glad that Doc had invented a time machine.

"All right, boys," explained Doc, "I happen to have a trunk full of clothes that I have from various time periods. I should have some clothes from the Old West that would fit you boys." He just pulled an outfit that was so similar to one Clint Eastwood wore for a movie, and then he asked, "Would either of you boys really like to try this on?"

"I guess I will," Marty replied, as he grabbed for the outfit. "I guess it wouldn't be too bad, spending some time in the Old West. If we're just staying for a few days, it very much should be fine. You know, I might even be able to meet some of my ancestors."

"Now that I must caution you boys about," commented Doc. To Calvin, he said, "Why don't you try on this outfit? We just need to pack up some items, and then we can go back to... oh, maybe 1886 - or maybe even September of 1885. It was the day..."

Just then, there was a knock on a door. Calvin felt nervous, as he wondered who was there. He could just say that he and Marty were playing dress-up. As Doc had opened the door, he saw that Jennifer Parker was there. His heart really sank at the sight.

"I sure decided to swing by a little," Jennifer explained. As she caught sight of Marty, she gasped, "Marty, you're dressed up like Clint Eastwood! What are you..." Jennifer realized something, as she asked, "You're really going on a time travel trip?" As Calvin and Marty both nodded, she turned to Doc and asked, "Hey, could I come along?"

"Well, it's up to the boys," Doc replied. "I personally don't have any problem with you going with us, and I'd hate to make you feel excluded. I have some outfits that could fit you. I even have have a nice pink frilly Victorian dress that might actually fit you."

"Jennifer, I'd love to have you join us!" Marty gushed, much to Calvin's dismay. "The week might really be lovely, if you would come back with us." Calvin couldn't help but feel dismayed. After all, the whole idea of this trip was to take his mind off of girls.

"Doc, how are we going to fit all of us in the DeLorean?" protested Calvin. "Are we all gonna just cram inside that thing? The DeLorean only seats two people, and it's quite crowded trying to fit just three of us in here. I don't think Jennifer can come along."

"Calvin! Calvin!" Doc admonished, gently. "I have a station wagon, now - that I also converted into a time machine. I figured I'll just need a bigger vehicle, if I wanted to take you on a time travel trip. It's in the back of the garage, and I rather decided to have it hover-converted. I just need to grab several items, and then we can go."

Calvin then headed out to the back, as the last thing he needed to hear was mushy romance between his twin and Jennifer. He blinked back tears, as he resented very much how Jennifer showed up when she did - and why his twin was so damn lucky.

After what seemed to be a long time, the others entered the station wagon. Calvin didn't say a word, as Doc began to drive off to Hill Valley Park. Calvin began feeling that this trip may not be as relaxing as he really hoped it would be. Having Jennifer come along could spoil everything, as she and his twin would always be so mushy.

"All right, everyone," Doc called out, as he began to hover the station wagon, "brace yourselves for temporal displacement." He really accelerated the station wagon to 88 miles per hour, until it finally broke the time barrier. Calvin really took in a deep sigh.
