Author's Note: Since I did George, I have to do Lorraine.

Disclaimer: I don't own Lorraine Baines McFly but did you know her original name was Eileen?

Lorraine

"Stella where are the cherries?" Lorraine heard her daddy yell.

"They're already on the picnic table!" Lorraine's mommy yelled. "Go start cooking the steaks!"

Lorraine's father grumbled something and put Lorraine down on the back stoop of their house. The four-year-old straightened her dress and looked up at the social gathering that was in backyard today.

There had been all this fuss in the morning about some big barbeque her mother and father were hosting. When Lorraine had asked her father about the "barQ" he had told her it was for the Fourth of July. Apparently there was a holiday about America becoming America that Lorraine was unaware of. She still didn't understand why grown-ups would make such a fuss about a piece of paper being drawed on.

Little Lorraine jumped off the stoop. There were alot of grown-ups around, all talking about the weather or the war. Typical grown-up talk.

She spotted that four-year-old neighbor kid, Tom, sitting at the picnic table. He was eating a watermellon slice and the little black seeds were all over his cheeks.

The bench was big and she had to climb up on it to seat herself. She didn't mind though becuase she liked doing things herself. Tom didn't really notice her climb up since he was absorbed in his watermelon chewing.

"Hi Tommy," Lorraine said and giggled into her hands. Tom looked at her and wiped off his mouth with his sleeve.

"Hi Lorraine," Tom said but just returned to eating his food.

Lorraine blushed from Tom saying his name and giggled again. She stood up on the bench, leaned in, and kissed Tom right on his sticky cheek. He yelped and fell off the bench.

"Yuck! A girl kissed me! A girl kissed me!" Tom yelled, drawing attention from all the adults. "I've got her girly germs! Someone call a doctor!"

Lorraine just stood there, watching Tom have a fit right on the ground.

"You're cute," Lorraine giggled.
