3:00 p.m.

Marty's POV

I was surprised on how fast the four days went. Annie and I were spending half the time trying to warn Doc about his upcoming fate and the other half cooking up our scheme. At least the scheme part was going better than us trying to warn Doc. Annie and I were helping dad out with the laundry. Dad seemed disoriented.

He asked, "I don't get it. How can I go to the dance with Lorraine if she is already going with you?"

I answered, "Well, she wants to go with you but she doesn't know it yet."

Annie added, "We have to show you that you're a fighter. Someone that will stand up for her and for yourself. I mean, why do you think she's crushing on Marty?"

I shot her a look and changed the subject, "Let's go over the plan one more time. Where will you and Annie be?"

Dad answered, "We're going to be at the dance."

I responded, "Right and where will I be?"

Dad answered again, "You'll be in the parking lot with her."

Annie nodded and asked, "Right and when you see Marty and Lorraine struggling, you walk in and say…you're line George."

Dad perked up and responded, "'Hey, you. Get your damn hands off of her.' You really think I ought to swear?"

Annie rolled her eyes and said, "Yes, God damn it, George! Swear! For Pete's sake, there is nothing wrong with it!"

I grabbed her arm and said, "Calm down, Annie." She calmed down and I added, "Now, this can only work if it stays between the three of us." Dad nodded in agreement and I added, "Now, if you'll excuse us, we've got to go."

We left and later that day, I was in a suit, ready for the dance. Annie was wearing a pretty pink following dress and her hair was beautifully curled. I was blushing at her big time now. I had never seen her in a dress like that before. I could've sworn that I was either drooling or my nose was bleeding. We went to Lou's café and we were writing a letter to Doc as he was setting up for the experiment later on that evening.

I said what we wrote aloud, "Dear Doc, the day we go back in time, you were shot by terrorists. Please the necessary precautions to prevent this terrible disaster. –Your friends, Marty and Annie."

I sighed and said, "Let's just hope Doc reads this."

Annie nodded and responded, "Yeah, I…I don't want to lose him, Marty."

A tear rolled down her face and I wiped it away from her face.

I responded, "Me either, Annie."

I knew how she felt. Doc was like a father to me too. We walked out of the café and I put the letter in Doc's coat pocket, praying to God that he would heed our warning. Annie was keeping an eye on Doc as he was paying off the cop.

Doc turned to us after the cop left and said, "What you two just saw, you didn't see."

Annie shot Doc a look and responded; "Leave the jokes to me, Doc."

Doc sheepishly smiled and got things ready for later.

Annie turned to me and said, "Well, I'm off to the dance. I'll meet you later."

With that, she walked off and for the first time during this whole adventure, I was alone. It felt weird to me.

I took the Packard and drove off for Lorraine's house. I picked her up and we drove to the school.

I parked the car and asked her, "Uh, do you mind if we park?"

She smiled and answered, "No, not at all. I love to park."

Swell. She got out a bottle of liquor, drank from it, and I grabbed the bottle.

I blurted out, "You drink?"

She shot me a look and responded, "Marty, anyone who is anyone drinks."

I shot her a look but then I saw something else. She was smoking too! I spat out the liquor because it tasted bad and I was freaked out, again.

I blurted out, "You smoke too?"

She rolled her eyes and responded, "Marty, you're starting to sound like my mother."

Now, that's uncanny.

I responded, "Yeah, right."

She added, "When I have kids, I'll let them do anything they want."

I rolled my eyes and mumbled, "I like to have that in writing."

Mom never let me do anything. Not even hang out with Doc. The only thing she did approve of was me hanging out with my band and Annie. I blushed at the thought of her name. I'll admit to it. I had it bad for Annie. I looked out the mirror and saw no one was coming. Where the hell is dad already? Mom called me and when I turned, she had her jacket off.

She asked, "Are you nervous, Marty?"

I dryly answered, "You could say that. Do you know how it feels to be a first date and not know how to act?"

She smiled at me and responded, "No but you know what? I don't worry." She eventually got me into a corner and kissed me. I was freaking. Talk about weird! She opened her eyes, pulled away and said, pretty freaked, "This is all wrong. But, when I kiss you, it's like I'm kissing my brother. Does that make sense?"

I smiled, relieved and responded, "Believe me; it makes a lot of sense."

'More than you know,' I thought.

I heard footsteps and mom said, "Someone is coming."

'About time,' I thought but I thought differently when I saw who grabbed me. It was Biff, drunk as a skunk. 'Scratch that,' I added.

He said, his voice slurred, "You cost me three hundred dollars damage to my car, you son of a bitch."

He punched me in my stomach and handed me off to his goons.

Mom said, defiantly, "Leave him alone, Biff!"

Biff saw her and said, "Well, look at what we have here."

Mom tried to escape but Biff was too fast for her. He ordered his goons to get rid of me. They stuff me into a car. I heard a voice asking someone outside where his keys where.

I said, "The keys are in here!"

The voice outside responded, "Say that again."

I responded, freaked out, "I said the keys are in here!"

'Annie, dad. It's up to you,' I thought.

Just then, a heard a beautiful female voice asking, "Hey, have you seen George McFly?"

My heart skipped a beat. That was Annie's voice!

I yelled, "Annie, help!"

I heard Annie asking, "Marty, is that you?"

I wanted to shoot her a look but a shot would have to do.

I responded, "No, it's Calvin Klein. Of course it's me!"

Annie sounded worried and she asked, "Wait, if you're in there, then who…"

The truck got opened and the guy who opened it sliced his hand.

I saw Annie and said, "Biff. And how did you lose George?"

I threw the keys at the band and we ran off.

Annie explained, "Well, Biff's goons came into the gym and chased me away from Uncle George saying that Biff wanted both of our asses. I eventually ditched them but I lost Uncle George! Marty, don't take this the wrong way, but this was defiantly not part of the plan!"

I shot her a look and responded, "I know that!"

We got back out to the parking lot where dad knocked Biff out with one punch! We smiled and then we both high fived each other. Dad offered his hand and mom took it, lovely. I took out my picture and saw that Linda was just about gone!

"Crap," Annie swore.

We ran away from the crowd and headed back to the band.

I said, "Hey, guys. You've got to finish the dance!"

One of the band members said, "Hey no can do. Marvin here sliced his hand. He can't play. Unless you two know someone else that can play the guitar."

Annie smiled and I caught her train of thought.

She put her hand on my shoulder and said, "Guys, meet your new guitarist, Calvin 'Marty' Klein."

The next thing I knew, I was on stage playing Earth Angel. Annie was backstage, keeping an eye on me. I was watching my picture and I saw that I was staring to disappear. I looked out onto the dance floor and saw another kid was dancing with mom. I faintly went down.

The piano player asked, "Hey kid. Are you alright?"

I answered, "I-I can't play."

I looked at my hand which was disappearing. Annie come onto the stage and held me in her arms. I couldn't feel that. Was this it? Was I...disappearing? Or was I...dying? My breathing and my heartbeat were slowing. I closed my eyes and the last thing I saw was Annie watching over me, concern in her gorgeous emerald eyes.

I tried to say, with my last breath, "Annie, I…love you."
