After a while Marty finds out with the help of a young teenager named Calvin that he has landed in jail for time travelers…
Title: Friends in time
Chapter 1: Happy Birthday, Marty
In the early morning hours of the 12th June 1991- there was comfortable silence above the roofs of the Eastwood Street. The road was one of the many new residential areas of Hill Valley and was locates only a stone's throw from the Eastwood ravine. The lights in most houses were probably out for quite some time and the residents already peacefully asleep. Only the garden of the little villa, where the newlywed couple McFly lived, was still bustling with some life…
A gentle breeze swirled through the brown hair of the young musician as he was busy trying to eliminate the last remnants of a surprise party, which his friends gave in honor of his 23- Birthday – anniversary. He still couldn't believe that he really just turned 23 years old. The last months have been running so fast for Marty and changed his life much. The first success with the band came. The first tours though the States, and thus the long-awaited prosperity.
He allowed himself one painted cherry red Porsche 356 convertible, a house, and so much more. For most people, it sounded like the typical beginning of a really good life and so it must have felt for the young man, as all his dreams seemed to come true.
The culmination of this was, for sure, when he married his longtime girlfriend, Jennifer Parker - uh now McFly; barely a month ago. Both had carefully considered this final step in their relationship, because they wanted to prevent that their life turned into a nightmare. Just like they had to see it on a journey into the year 2015.
At the thought of time travelling Marty's smile vanished instantly and he stared at pale moon in the night sky.
He hadn't seen his old friend Doc for a long time. It could have been five or six years, by now? Marty wondered what had happened to Doc and his family? Questions that Marty would never get an answer to, unless Doc returned. In the first year after Doc's disappearance, Marty spent nearly every day just to wait for his return, but nothing happened. And after the old garage, where the scientist lived before, was sold, Marty tried to break up with the past. But this was easier said than done, because the two had just spend too much time together and managed too many crazy adventures in the past, present and future. "I really wish you were here, Doc," Marty whispered softly.
Suddenly the sound of thunder had Marty pulled out of his reverie. Frantically he turned his head and saw through the hedges at the garden fence, bright, blue flashes of light. Marty wrinkled his brow thoughtfully, "Jesus Christ, what was that?" He murmured surprised and stood rooted to the spot.
The gears in his head began to turn quickly. That could not possibly be the Doc? Or could it? But the DeLorean had been completely destroyed by a train.
While Marty was thinking further, he even heard the familiar hiss of a door. Now there was no doubt. Doc was here, in front of his house!
Without hesitating for a moment longer, he was already excited from the gate and collided with someone. "Damn," he muttered, got up again and stared shocked in the face of no one else than Doctor Emmett L. Brown.
"This is heavy, Doc!" Marty stammered.
Doc Brown took Marty in his usual frantic manner by the shoulders and directed the young man to the time machine. "Marty, we do not have time for long speeches. You have to come back with me, "said the scientists excited and let go off Marty in order to search his dustbins.
Doc had quickly gathered together some utensils. He ran to the De Lorean and opened the lid of Mr. Fusion in order to supply them with energy.
"What? Where and why? "Marty asked, confused. He followed the inventor who looked at his young friend with a serious expression. "Great Scott, Marty! Not now, we really have no time for this. But, to make it quick, we go back to the past and then into the future!"
Marty nervously rubbed his neck and rolled his eyes annoyed. "Doc, if you can remember we had that already! Wait, what are you doing, Doc?"
"Marty, what are you waiting for? Fast, get in the car! We have no time!"The tone of the scientist's voice was sharper. With a quick movement he opened the heavy front passenger door and urged his companion to hurry.
"No, no, no, Doc. You suddenly appear here from nowhere. I will not go anywhere before ..." The doctor has just lost his patience and interrupted him:" Don't you understand? Marty, we have to do something for our families?"
"Not so fast, doc! What are you talking about? What happened to our families? Is something wrong with our children? Tell me what exactly is going on! "
"Not quite, Marty. We must return to remove the traces of your... of our time traveling trips, otherwise there will be a huge disaster in the future. This and other incidents leading to a chain reaction, the whole space-time... "
The scientist could not end his speech. Out of nowhere, two tall men appeared in a kind of futuristic police uniform.
There fronts bore a reddish hourglass symbol emblazoned with the letters ASPTT *.
"So we meet again! Caught you red handed here, haven't we, Doctor Brown?" Grinned the older, bald officer and took a step closer. "It was not very clever of you to escape, no one has ever escaped me."
Emmett turned white with shock and staggered back a few meters. Marty, who thought the whole scene appeared suspicious glanced slightly at him.
"Doc, what's going on? Those are not terrorists again with whom you have meddled, right? "He whispered. But this question should remain unanswered.
"And look, who have we got here?" Said the younger of the two men and turned his head slightly to one side.
"Martin Seamus McFly, the first person who ever traveled back in time! It will be a great pleasure for me to execute the arrest warrants against you. Officer Strickland, please take Mr. McFly into arrest!"
Marty was just trying to escape the situation, when he felt a hard blow to the back of his head and everything around him sank into blackness.
