Doxopolis
At one time, eighteen-year-old Kristina Bourgeois was quite an average teen girl who faced the typical teenage issues. However, that had been quite a long time ago. She tried hard to put her old life out of her mind, but she was never quite completely able to forget the rather unhappy turn of her old life. She quite had no desire to return to her unhappy life. As far as she was concerned, she might just as well be in heaven.
In all fairness, she really had a happy family life for many years. She had a younger sister named Paula and a younger brother named Robert. Her parents, Bill and Eva, were usually very fun and loving parents. However, that had quite changed around the time she was sixteen years old - and her loving mother died of ovarian cancer.
For the last few months that Kristina was living in the old world, her father was dating a women named Meredith Kilby. The problem was, Meredith had sure taken an instant disliking to Kristina. In fact, she had been very explicit in expressing her hatred of her potential stepdaughter - and she was always saying very nasty things about Kristina.
To make matters even worse, her father was quite unconcerned about his girlfriend's attitude about Kristina. He always insisted that not everyone had to like Kristina, and that she really needed to get over herself. Her father's attitude over the whole thing just felt like a slap in the face. It wasn't like she expected to be adored by everyone, but she felt so betrayed by how her father was dating someone who hated her guts.
She could still remember the very day she ended up in Doxopolis. It was June ninth of 2007, and she had a rather heated fight with her father. As she was running away, a vortex had sucked her into Doxopolis. She quickly came to enjoy life in this world, and it was nice to get in touch with nature and live in a world that was free from stress.
She didn't even have to sacrifice the technology she grew fond of - and she still had access to all the music, movies, and TV shows that she just enjoyed. She made a lot of great friends in this world, as well. Back in the old world, her very best friend and her boyfriend had betrayed her - when her boyfriend began dating her best friend!
From putting in many hours of working at Stephen's Lodge, she managed to make enough tokens - so that she could invite any two people of her choosing to spend three days in this world. She tried her best to think of who'd she most like to see.
She really missed her mother, and she figured it was very possible was bring her over from an earlier point in time. After all, Doxopolis was the gateway in the middle of the space-time continuum - so she had access to many worlds from many time periods. At least, she could temporary visit any of the worlds - but Doxopolis would be her home.
She then had quite a better idea. Two of her favourite actors were Michael J Fox and Crispin Glover. After watching the Back to the Future trilogy a few times, she became very fond of Marty McFly - and she had grown rather fond of Crispin Glover, as well.
She had come to love the movie, High School USA, as well. It was very interesting to see Michael and Crispin playing characters who were such good buddies, as opposed to having a father and son relationship. She figured that the two had neat chemistry together. She wondered how Michael J Fox and Crispin Glover got along in real life.
"Hey, Kristina," called out a very familiar voice. Kristina turned around - and she saw her best friend, Tatianna Palmer. Tatianna was also eighteen years old, but she was from the year 1997. She was also a very huge fan of the Back to the Future trilogy.
"Oh, hello, Tati," Kristina replied, as she smiled at her friend. "I've finally managed to accumilate enough tokens, so that we can invite two people in this world. Guess who I've decided to enter this world for three days! You'll be so excited about this, too."
"Michael J Fox and Crispin Glover?" Tati asked, as a smile spread across her face. As Kristina nodded, Tati added, "This is so exciting! How about I throw in my tokens, as well - and we can have the two of them stay for six days? We can have a lot of fun! We could maybe even bring them here from, say, about 1987. How's that sound?"
"Now that sounds totally awesome!" gushed Kristina. "Let's head over to the token exchange station, and we could turn them in. I sure think 1987 is a perfect year to bring them in. Now if we could sure find some way to actually prevent Michael from having Parkinson's disease, that would just be even neater. Such is life, I guess."
"Yeah, it never seemed very fair," Tati agreed. "I mean, he always was quite a nice guy. Granted, he did have some problems with partying too much in the '80s - but it isn't like he was ever a jerk. He spent a lot of time caring about the less fortunate."
"Anyway," Kristina said, sighing, "I guess Michael is optimistic about his condition. Are you feeling nervous about this whole thing? I know I certainly am. These will really be he best six days of our live - and thirty-hour days, at that. The big moment is here!"
Kristina and Tati glanced at each other, just before they dropped the tokens into the station. In the input box, Kristina just entered "Michael Andrew Fox June 9 1961 AD" and "Crispin Hellion Glover April 20 1964 AD". The girls then took in a deep breath.
Kristina's heart was beating quite rapidly, as she watched Michael and Crispin step in through the curtain. Then she saw another Michael and Crispin stepping in, and then a third pair stepped in. Kristina was quite shocked what she just saw. How on earth did they end up with three Michael J Foxes and three Crispin Glovers?
"What is going on here?" asked one of the Michaels, as he looked around. "This really looks like quite a nice place, and... I guess I'm just dreaming. This feels too real to be a dream, though. By the way, I'm Marty McFly. Who might the rest of you here be?"
"It's so great to meet you again, Marty," added another Michael. "I'm Alex P Keaton - and, if I'm not mistaken, I just think we've might've been here before. Remember last year, when we were in the Land of Colour Universe? I have a feeling we're back."
"This is unbelievable!" commented the third Michael, stunned. "Where I'm from, you both are fictional characters. As long as we're quite introducing ourselves, though - my name is Jay-Jay Manners. Actually, my real name is Joseph John Manners."
"All three of you look a little like Calvin Klein," commented one of the Crispins. "I really do remember that nice young fellow, from about a year and a half ago. He helped me to stand up to Biff Tannen." His eyes suddenly grew wide - as he sure quickly glanced at Marty, and asked, "Wait a minute! Did you say your name was Marty McFly?"
"I don't understand exactly what's going on here," added the Crispin who showed up with Alex. "How can Alex and I be in a room full of fictional characters?" He turned to Alex, as he added, "Alex, what exactly did you mean - when you said you met Marty McFly before? He's a character from Back to the Future! Anyway, I'm Doug Mueller."
"My name is Archie Feld," explained the third Crispin. "Jay-Jay and I have been good friends for a long time, and I really don't understand how you guys can be here. This must be a weird dream - but then... How come this doesn't feel like a dream to me?"
"Please try to relax, all of you," Kristina suggested, nervously. "My name is Kristina Bourgeois - and this is my best friend, Tatianna Palmer. You guys are in Doxopolis - which is the gateway in the middle of the space-time continuum." As the six visitors looked very puzzled, Kristina added, "Tati and I will be back in just a few minutes."
Just as Kristina and Tati stepped behind the curtain, Tati asked, "All right, Kris, what just happened here? We meant to bring the actors into this world - and, instead, we just ended up bringing in three different characters that they each have played."
"I have absolutely no clue," Kristina replied, stunned. "When you think about it, Tati, it's actually just as good as bringing in the actors - and we even get to have three of each. Of course, George and Marty are from Back to the Future. Jay-Jay and Archie are from High School USA, and Crispin played Doug on an episode of Family Ties."
"Well, that is very true," Tati replied. "I'm certainly not complaining about this, but I'm very confused by the turn of events. The problem is, each pair of characters seem to be mutually fictional to each other. The poor guys are probably all in great shock."
"Not only that," Kristina said, sighing, "but George also seems to be from thirty years in Marty's past - and, if he finds out about his future son, that could be so disastrous to the space-time continuum. By the way, just what did Alex mean - and he said that he and Marty came here before? I just wonder if this is from before we showed up."
"You forgot, Kris, Doxopolis is paradox-proof," Tati commented, "as this is the gateway in the middle of the space-time continuum. As they had sure come here in their pajamas, they'll likely wake up in bed - so they'll think this was all a dream."
"I guess you're right, Tati," Kristina replied. "Anyway, let's head back and tend to our guests. We might just as well make them feel at home, and it quite looks like Alex and Marty might have some familiarity with this place. Well, let's just go have some fun!"
