Eighteen-year-old Ted "Theodore" Logan felt bliss - as he was eating dinner next to his girlfriend, Elizabeth Summers. Across the table was his best friend, Bill S Preston Esq - with his girlfriend, Joanna Summers. The four of them decided to go on a double date to Mario Martini's Italian Diner, and they were eating by candlelight.
To the average onlooker, this may look like a regular romantic affair. However, the girls that Bill and Ted were dating were no ordinary girls - but they were princesses from the 15th Century England, and they were both the daughters of Henry VII.
Ted was quite amazed by how quickly the princesses managed up adjust to late-20th Century life. The girls shared an apartment together, and they both worked at Circle K. The four of them would routinely take trips through time with this telephone booth time machine that their futuristic mentor, Rufus, gave to them nearly a year ago.
"Maybe we could try visiting the 1960s, again," suggested Elizabeth. "We had a lot of fun at Woodstock a few months ago. It sure was rainy, but it was such a great event to remember. The hippie movement extolled a lot of great values of world peace."
"We could do without the drugs and sex, though," added Joanna. "I know that's one of the reasons why hippies are often seen in a negative light. Say, how about we go into the future and meet our future families? Wouldn't that be the most excellent?"
"You're forgetting one important thing, though," Bill pointed out. "Rufus has given us explicit instructions to not look up our own destiny. If we ever were to attempt to do so, the time machine phone booth would send us backward in time by quite the same length of time in a middle of a war. This isn't anything we wish to mess around with."
All four of the teens looked at each other with very disappointed expressions. As the nature of the time machine made it impossible for any time paradoxes to really occur, any attempts to disrupt the space-time continuum could lead to bad consequences.
"Bogus!" all four of the teens finally cried out. "This would be non-non-heinous!" Ted suddenly felt subconscious, as he saw the other patrons in the restaurant staring at them. He put his arm around Elizabeth, as he went back to eating his stuffed shells.
"Could you imagine if the phone booth worked like the DeLorean?" Ted asked. "You know, from Back to the Future? It would be quite egregious. You really wouldn't be able to ride through those bodacious circuits, and then you really could run the risk with travelling to the past - as you might end up erasing yourself from existence."
"That would be very odious," Bill agreed. "It's the most excellent movie, though - and the DeLorean's just an outstanding car. I sure can hardly wait for the sequel to come out, later this year. I bet it'll really be the most unrivaled sequel to ever come out."
"I have a theory," suggested Joanna. "When Doc told Marty and Jennifer that they needed to go with him to the future, because their kids were in trouble - it would be the resulting consequences of the mucking around in 1955 that Marty had done."
"Even if it may have been unintentional," added Elizabeth, "Marty did, ultimately, end up manipulating time to his own benefit - which one might say is pretty selfish. Maybe God felt it was necessary to punish Marty for tampering with time in such a manner."
"That's totally bogus!" Ted exclaimed, quite horrified. "The poor kid should be given a break. His life was most heinous, before he ended up in 1955. At any rate, they sure weren't planning on filming a sequel. It was a very recent decision they made, due to popular demand. I think it's more like a bad habit Marty needs to kick, or something."
"We'll just have to wait until the sequel is released," Bill commented. "After the sequel comes out, then we can see which of us is right. I sure heard rumours that there may be a third film coming out next year. If it's actually true, that would be totally stellar."
"Anyway, we're not able to change our past with our time machine," Ted added. "It would totally be great, if I could go back in time to when my dad was younger - and make him be a more loving father. Most times, I'm not even sure if he loves me."
"At least, your father was nothing like ours," Elizabeth commented, sighing. "He ruled everything with an iron fist. There are some things I do miss about Medieval England, but it was most odious having a tyrant for a father. I much prefer living in this era."
"You're right, Elizabeth," Ted said, as he put his arm around his girlfriend. "Well, let's enjoy our dinner. I really love these stuffed shells, and the garlic bread is real good. They have brownies for dessert this evening, which are sure delicious. We can head over to the Circle K afterward, and then maybe take a walk through the park later."
oooooooooo
As the quartet were heading over to the Circle K, Ted caught sight of a phone booth falling to the ground. As Rufus stepped out, Ted noticed that the phone booth really looked different. On the side of the phone booth was a real curious word: "Squint".
"Greetings, my excellent friends," Rufus said, as he glanced at the teens. "I brought you guys a brand new present. This nifty machine not only travels through time, but has the ability to traverse other realities - even the universes of fictional worlds."
"That sounds most triumphant!" Ted exclaimed, just as he and the others took a good look at the machine. "Can we take a ride through the machine, now? We could have a totally excellent adventure seeking out all of our favourite fictional realities. It sounds totally outstanding to be able to rub shoulders with some of our beloved characters."
"I'll just leave the new phone booth here," Rufus replied. "Now you'll have two books to help guide you on your trips. This one, of course, gives you all the numbers to dial to various time periods and locations. This new book gives you all the numbers to dial to various realities you can visit. Happy travelling, you guys! It's time for me to go."
Rufus then stepped into the Squint booth, as it began to take off. It was immediately replaced with another Squint booth. Ted really took a closer look at it, and he noticed that there were two antennae on top of the booth. It was an interesting sight.
"Check it out, gang!" Ted called out, to the rest of the gang. "Check the top of the phone booth. It's so mesmorizing!" He swallowed deeply, before he asked, "Where would you guys like to go? What is one movie you'd like to acquaint yourself with?"
Bill was silent for a minute, before he finally suggesteded, "How about Back to the Future? I'd really love to meet Marty McFly! It'd be totally stellar to interact with a fellow time traveller, even if he is from a different universe. How's that sound?"
After a dramatic pause, all four of the teens cried out, "Excellent, dude!" They then did the air guitar thing. Ted felt quite nervous, as he could hardly believe they were about to enter the universe of their favourite movie. He then thought of how Marty might actually be willing to give them some training on how to play their guitars.
"Let's check if it's in here," Bill added, as he grabbed for one of the books. "It just looks as though, uh... Wait a minute! That's the wrong book." Bill reached for the other book, and he began to thumb through it. "Eureka!" Bill suddenly called out.
"I must say that the television is one of the most fascinating new devices," Elizabeth commented, stunned. "Just think, it'll sure seem weird to be surrounded by a setting that we only see on television. We'll also meet the characters, and not the actors."
"I may still be relatively new to this type of medium," added Joanna, "but I sure don't think it'd be a great idea to let Marty - or anyone else from that world - know that, to us, they're characters from a movie. Just imagine all the shock they'd go through."
"You're totally right," Ted agreed. "After all, what are we gonna say to Marty - when we see him? 'You're totally in a movie, dude'? He'd probably look at us like we're quite insane. We'll have play it cool - just act natural. What if I get starstruck, though? It's going to be about the same thing as meeting Michael J Fox, except much weirder!"
"At least, Michael J Fox would understand us being starstruck," Bill added. "I'm pretty sure he deals with that a lot. Marty McFly, on the other hand, really wouldn't - unless he does end up achieving rock star fame, maybe even on par with Eddie Van Halen!"
"You know, Bill," Ted commented, "maybe we can ask Marty to give us some training on the guitar. I know it'll feel real weird to receive lessons from a fictional character, but wouldn't it be most resplendent for Wild Stallyns to play with The Pinheads?"
"Let's board the phone booth, now," suggested Joanna. "This can be a pretty exciting expedition to partake on." As the quartet stepped into the phone booth, and shut the door, Joanna grabbed one of the books and added, "All right! We now are quite going to embark on a most bodacious expedition. Be very sure to brace yourselves, guys!"
Ted took in quite a deep breath, as the phone booth took off. As the booth entered the Circuits of History, all four of the teens threw their arms up. This quite felt much like going on a roller coaster. It really was fun, but it could also make one feel dizzy.
