It was a very reasonably warm and sunny afternoon, and Scott Clint Eastwood had a lot on his mind. He glanced at his girlfriend, Harmony Clara Brown - and he thought of how pretty her long blond curls and blue-green eyes were. However, it still felt a little strange to be dating her - considering that they really knew each other from infancy.

As the couple stepped into Francesca's Italian Diner, he realized that he had so much stuff on his mind. He figured that Harmony probably felt the same way. It seemed so surreal, thinking of how everything he learned the past few days was actually true.

"Hey, let's sit over here," whispered Harmony, as she tugged on Scott's arm. As they sat at an empty booth, she added, "I quite have a good idea of what you're thinking. It probably seemed even stranger for you, than it is for me. After all, you are the..."

"... great-grandson of Marty McFly," Scott whispered, stunned. "It still seems strange to think that Marty McFly and Clint Eastwood are... the same person. After all, it very much makes me... Furthermore, I guess Calvin would be my great-granduncle. It sure feels as if I... I certainly do miss Marty, y'know - even if he isn't technically... gone."

"Well, a person can change a lot in a hundred years," Harmony pointed out, gently. "I can just imagine that poor Calvin is... I'm sure he feels a little sad that his twin is... no longer his twin. Even if Dr. Eastwood's new memories, it would actually seem as if..."

"I rather do feel a little sad," Scott replied, sighing. "Of course, Suzy is probably going through the same thing. It's so funny, in fact, how Marty's twin quite ended up dating Jennifer's twin. It's a shame that they won't have the double wedding that they..."

"Let's try to think positively," Harmony suggested, as she patted Scott's arm. "It's not quite as if they're dead. I mean, they're still alive - but they're a hundred years older. Still, I guess it's simply not the same thing. When I think of how, some time ago, I had dated Marty... It feels weird to think of how I'm now dating... his great-grandson."

"At least, you aren't his descendant," Scott replied, laughing. "That would be just rather freaky, even in this progressive society. Also, I suppose he was responsible for your existence - albeit in an indirect way. Man, this really is so much stuff to take in."

"I don't suppose grandpa would let us use his time machine," commented Harmony. "It sure is understandable, since any unnecessary time travel could risk further disruption of the space-time continuum - and that... Well, we've already seen what happened."

"Quite frankly, I'd be afraid to go on a time travel trip," Scott replied, shuddering. "It's a little unsettling to think that, if not for time travel... neither of us would exist. It just makes me really feel as... For that matter, neither would Benjy - our mutual cousin. In fact, even Calvin didn't originally exist - and I guess Suzy didn't, either. It's just so..."

"Anyway, we should eat something," suggested Harmony. "Well, do stuffed shells and garlic bread really sound good to you?" Scott nodded, as Harmony turned towards the Wait-o-Screen. "Well, I'm gonna go place in the order - and get us each a Pepsi, too."

Scott smiled, as he closed his eyes. Indeed, this was one very unusual week - and, to many people, this was also quite a sad week. After all, most people didn't know about time travel - so, as such, most people would miss the presence of young Marty McFly.

"I really do tend to feel sad," Scott commented, in a near whisper, "whenever I listen to Huey Lewis and The Spacemen. Especially The Power of Love. I mean, that was... is... Marty's very favourite song by his favourite band. In fact, it happens to be the song that caused our band to be rejected by that... that Huey Lewis look-alike."

"I sure do understand what you mean," Harmony replied, softly. She placed a platter of stuffed shells in front of Scott. "With Marty really being gone - I guess you've now taken over the position of lead guitar and vocals. How does that make you feel?"

"On one hand, I actually feel happy about it," replied Scott, wistfully. "On the other hand, though, I... Well, I do quite miss have Marty's younger self around. I guess I should do my part to make my great-grandfather proud. It'll really be such a big..."

"You'll be following in your grandpa's footsteps," purred Harmony, coyly. "He was the one to introduce rock and roll to the world, after all - and you... Well, I guess you will be able to carry on that legacy. I'll be right behind you, all the way. I mean, you sure have the talent for it. Perhaps, later on, you and I really should visit Dr. Eastwood."

"That's a good idea," agreed Scott, with a small smile. "Well, this place serves delicious stuffed shells. If I could just tell Zach, Billy, and Joey what happened to Marty. I quite feel for them. Of course, if the whole world knew about time travel - it would be a..."

"... a bit dangerous," finished Harmony, nodding. "Yes, Dr. Eastwood just told us that story about how he purchased a sports almanac in 2015 - and then Biff Tannen simply got his hands on it. Biff decided to give it to his younger self in 1955 - which led..."

"The world as he described it sounds so horrid," Scott replied, shuddering. "Alex told us about how, on the day that Marty and Calvin were born, a large group of visitors quite came from various other worlds. Apparently, some came from the world where Biff was rich and powerful - and he ended up marrying Marty and Calvin's mother!"

"Just Marty, I believe it was," Harmony replied, softly. "Apparently, there sure aren't many worlds where Calvin also exists. Even Dr. Eastwood said that Calvin didn't exist in the timeline that he originated from. Man, I'm really starting to feel sorry for Cal."

"Oh, yeah, right," Scott muttered, nervously. "It's so freaky enough - thinking of how you, Benji, and I all didn't exist. In our case, though, it's more understandable - when you consider the temporal nature of our lineage. In Calvin's case, however - it's a..."

"I know what you mean," Harmony replied, softly. "At any rate, I'd really hate to be in a world where Biff is rich and powerful. I mean, I never before realized just how nasty he could be. I just can't believe that tried to rape poor Lorraine, back in the year 1955 - and... Yet, in a strange sort of way, if Biff hadn't done that - than George maybe..."

"It still seems strange to think of George being a... a pushover," commented Scott. "I always knew him to be quite self-assured, and... Well, it's a little hard to imagine that he wasn't... always that way. Thinking that Marty himself was responsible for all..."

"It's funny," mumbled Harmony, "thinking of how time travel works. I always looked up to Dr. Eastwood, and I always viewed Marty as a great friend. It's just hard to get my mind around the fact, though... Well, that would explain why Marty always had a..."

"Marty and my ancestor quite seemed to share a special bond," observed Scott. "One that even Calvin didn't seem to share with either. I reckon this would explain why. It'll just feel rather weird, thinking of Marty as... I mean, I've always viewed my ancestor as a very cool centenarian - but he is still a centenarian, nonetheless. It's so..."

"There just aren't many people his age," pointed out Harmony, "that quite enjoy rock music. I guess, in the old timeline, Huey Lewis and The Spacemen were actually Huey Lewis and The News. Apparently, though, The Power of Love sounds similar to..."

"Actually, I think he has a few Huey Lewis and The News CDs," commented Scott. "He rather mentioned something about how the visitors, who arrived on the date of Marty and Calvin's birth, left behind some music and films. Perhaps, we might be able to..."

"I would be very interested in doing a comparison," agreed Harmony. "I can't imagine what living in the less advanced version of the 1980s would be like. I suppose we are kinda spoiled, when you consider how... At any rate, I guess we now know why Alex used to look so much like Marty and Calvin. That face really does run in the family."

"Even I look a little like them," pointed out Scott, "but I happen to be much taller. On a side note, I'm just wondering if Doc... either of them... plan to make any further time travel trips. I suppose it'd actually be a shame to let the invention go to waste."

"I really have no idea," Harmony replied, shrugging. "It's simply fascinating, though, thinking of how Marty not only grew up addressing my grandfather as 'Doc' - but my grandfather also grew up referring to Marty as 'Doc'. It's weird, thinking of how..."

"Yeah, it is," agreed Scott. "I guess that would explain why there was a very uncanny resemblance between Doc and your grandpa, and why they rather seemed to share a lot of the same mannerisms. I kinda wonder just what Calvin and Suzy are doing, right now. I wonder how Benjy is handling this, as well. It's gonna be tough for all of us."

"So, what about George and Lorraine?" asked Harmony. "Apparently, on the day that Marty and Calvin were born, they were told all about the time machine. I imagine that they're also having a tough time, knowing that your own son is now actually much..."

"I can imagine so," Scott replied, softly. "Well, at any rate, let's enjoy our meal. It's as if we're sharing one big secret. Y'know how secrets are often rather integral to a good friendship? Well, we now have a secret like none other. In a way, we're quite lucky."

Harmony simply smiled, as she picked up a slice of garlic bread. Scott began to realize that he not only had a simply unusual family secret - but he also quite had an unusual friendship secret. Indeed, it's not as if he'd never be able to see Marty. It's just that, from now on, he'd know Marty as Dr. Clint Calvin Eastwood - the marvelous inventor!
