"Jules is just growing to be a fine strong boy," commented Marty McFly, as he flashed a lopsided smile at his girlfriend. "He's seven months old, already. It's sometimes quite hard to believe that Doc actually has a real family. I wonder what Jules will be like."

"He might come to be just like you," cooed Jennifer Parker, as she put her arm around Marty. "Of course, he could be more like his father. If that's the case, it will be quite a lot like having a little Doc. So, do you think Doc and Clara might have more children?"

Marty just smiled, as he shook a rattle in front of Jules' playpen. Jules was the son of Dr. Emmett Brown - who Marty and Jennifer usually called "Doc" - and his wife, Clara. Marty had simply been close to Doc for almost twelve years, now - since the day that Doc had rescued Marty from Cliff Tannen and his gang. Marty had been so grateful.

Of course, Doc had first met him in 1955 - which was almost thirteen years before the day Marty was born. Thanks to the time machine that Doc invented, it was sometimes rather confusing to discuss the order of which various events have actually occurred.

In another sense, one could also insist that Doc and Marty first met in September of 1885 - but, of course, that statement would feel entirely false to both of them. This was, however, the month that one could truly say that Doc first met Clara Clayton.

To this date, September of 1885 was the earliest time that Marty had ever travelled back to. It was also the time that Clara would really take her first time travel trip, as she accompaned Doc and Marty on the trip back to 1985. While Clara was so scared of life in the future, she decided it was entirely worth it - as she loved Doc so much.

Marty just smiled, as he remembered the day that Doc and Clara married - which was on November 30 of 1985. While there sure were times when he missed having Doc to himself, he had to be eal happy for his friend. He had also grown to really like Clara.

"You really are deep in thought, aren't you?" Jennifer ribbed, gently. "I know that, if they have another boy - they plan to name him Verne. I think it would really be nice, though - if they had a girl. I don't know why, but it sure would make me feel happy."

"Well, you never know," commented Marty. "Do you remember last November, when we had Doc and myself from another reality visit us? I do remember them mentioning how, in the world they came from, Jules was eight years old - and Verne was six. I'm sure that I remember them mentioning a new daughter, even younger then Jules."

"I suppose you mean our Jules?" teased Jennifer. "Yeah, I don't remember what they named her - but I think they said that she was just born on November 12, which is so awesome! I think they also mentioned her being born at the exact same time..."

"... as lightning had struck the clock tower," Marty finished, smiling. "I don't remember what her name was, either - but I'm quite certain she would grow up to be one special individual. I mean, it's almost like Doc was specially chosen to raise this precious girl."

"Possibly so," Jennifer replied, laughing. "Of course, it could also just happen to be a very amazing coincidence. We really shouldn't act like our Jules is any less special. In fact, he's quite a blessed individual. Even though, I must admit that I've actually had some misgivings about his birth. With Doc and Clara being from two different time..."

"I've had quite the same concerns," Marty replied, nodding, "but it's not like a person's basic biology just changes within that short amount of time. Now, if Doc had met Clara from a different reality... Well, there I could actually see a few rather potential risks."

"Yeah, that would be a little more questionable," agreed Jennifer. "I've actually done quite some thinking about alternate realities, ever since we've received the visit from our counterparts. Just what do you think would be able to create other universes?"

"I suppose, alternate choices that we make in our lives," suggested Marty. "I do take some issue with the theory, though. What if they are ethical or moral choices? We've often run into very hard choices, and all that - but there are certain things that I just would never do. Of course, there is also the whole concept of fictional universes..."

"Your other self did mention about the Family Ties Universe," pointed out Jennifer. "It sure is a good family sitcom, and I actually do like Alex. I might not agree with a lot of his views, but he's a pretty decent guy. He's just a bit of a... He's an overachiever."

"I can't imagine being Alex P Keaton," Marty commented, laughing. "We're so different from each other. I think he's very obsessed with money. Granted, I do dream of being a rich rock star - but I could never get into doing all that office work. It's not for me."

"Marty McFly, the executive?" Jennifer asked, laughing. "Naa, that sure sounds more like your brother. I imagine that he'd get along well with Alex." As Jennifer looked up, she added, "It looks like Doc's back. A lot really has changed within the past year and a half. I remember thinking that it was cramped in the garage, but now it's really..."

"So, how's Jules doing?" asked Doc, as he walked in the room. "After Clara gets back, would either of you want to go on an a time trip with me? I need to take a trip twenty years in the future, and I think it would really be nice to have some company along."

"I sure don't feel like taking a trip," replied Jennifer. "Hey, Marty, if you'd really like to go along... Well, I know how you and Doc have been real close... I presume you plan to return in just a few minutes. I really want to take a little nap, before we go out."

"Yeah, Doc, I really would love to go along," replied Marty. He turned to give Jennifer a hug, as he added, "You sure take nice care of yourself, Jenn. We could head out to Francesca's Italian Diner, tonight." Turning to Doc, he asked, "We're really heading to the future? I wonder what the year 2007 will look like, and if hoverboards will yet..."

"I have to pick up a few items," Doc explained. "You can head over to Lou's Internet Cafe and Coffee Shoppe, which is what Lou's Aerobics Fitness Centre will be. It may take a little while. Please stay in the Courthouse Square, and don't go looking up..."

"... future information about myself, right?" asked Marty. "I really do remember some of my future self's destiny - back when my future self, and then my future son, really were inhabiting mt body. I don't remember the whole specifics of... Let's get going."

As Marty watched Jennifer head off, he had mixed feelings. He knew Jennifer wasn't as much into time travelling, as he was. He figured it that might've really been nice to have his girlfriend with him. On the other hand, though, it could be real nice to spend time alone with his older friend. After all, he could spend time with Jennifer tonight.

oooooooooo

As Marty followed Doc to the garage, he really felt nervous. As he had never been to 2007, he wondered what the technology might be like. He knew that his son would be ten years younger than him - so, as a result, he couldn't pass himself off as his son.

"I would simply prefer it, Marty," Doc commented, "if you didn't spend any time on the internet. I sure understand how fascinated you are by future technology, but it might be tempting to look up stuff on your future self. That would be a major risk to take."

"I suppose you're right, Doc," Marty replied, sighing. "It's just that... Well, I sure think it sounds fascinating. It just sounds like computers will be considerably more advanced in twenty years, and you would have all sorts of information at your fingertips. It sure seems awesome. I did have a little experience with computers, and I really do like..."

"Well, I won't tell you that you can't," Doc replied, softly. "If you do, you sure have to promise me that you won't look up anything about your future. I'm very sorry to be so hardinosed about this, but please understand that this is a risk I don't want to take."

"Okay, I promise," replied Marty, relieved. "After all, I've learned my lesson - when we had the whole debacle with the almanac. I suppose some good quite came out of it, as it has led up to you meeting Clara. Still, it sure doesn't mean that my action was right."

"You're sure growing up, Marty," Doc replied, admiringly. "It's very easy for me to still think of you as a kid. Anyway, the DeLorean's temporarily out of commission - so we'll have to take the station wagon. I'm not quite too sure of when I plan to inform Jules, or other kids we might have, about the time machine. Still, the station wagon is..."

"The station wagon certainly is much more roomy," commented Marty. "You know, I'm not quite sure how much longer the DeLorean would last. After all, it's been in the Del Gato mine for over seventy years - so that baby is certainly getting to be ancient."

"Let's climb into the station wagon." urged Doc. "I think 1:00 PM would be a good time to arrive on March 14 of 2007." As he set the time circuits, he added, "This would just make things easier. Well, I guess we really should head over to Hill Valley Park, first."

Marty smiled at Doc, as the latter drove off to Hill Valley Park. It wasn'r far away from Lyons Estates, where both the Browns and the McFlys made their home. Marty felt so nervous - as he simply thought of whether he would run into his future self, his future children, or any of Doc's future children. It certainly would be a very interesting trip.

"Here we are," Doc commented, as he drove into Hill Valley Park. He began to hover the station wagon, as he added, "Marty, brace yourself for temporal displacement." At that, Doc accelerated the station wagon to 88 miles per hour - until it left 1987.
