"Our parents are out of town for the weekend," Jules explained, "and I must say that I really miss you as a teenager, Marty. It sure feels strange to see you as a teenager from the future, Haven. It's rather amazing just how the whole concept of time travel works. Don't you think it was a little risky to call yourself Fox J Michael, though?"

"Actually, that was my idea," Haven replied, blushing. "He used the name Alex PJ Fox in 2006, so I felt it'd be rather nice to flip the name around. I mean, there really are a few people with Fox for a first name - and some have Michael as a last name, too."

"I hadn't even thought of that idea," Marty added. "It looks like the hoverboards and the flying cars haven't invented, yet. This doesn't look quite that different from 1986 at all. I guess all the major inventions will happen after the turn of the century."

"I sure regret that we'll be too old for the hoverboard," Verne commented, sighing. "I guess there's no legal limit on how old is too old, but I'm very sure society would think me as odd , if I was to be seen seen riding around on what is considered a kid's toy."

"You'll never be too old for hovercars, though," Jules replied, smiling broadly. "I have to admit that I rather find the name Fox J Michael to be quite interesting. There does seem to be this new trend of naming boys Fox. Anyway, I was real pleased with how you made Rajan Unger and his gang crash into a manure truck. They deserved it!"

"So who were the members of Rajan's gang, anyway?" asked Marty. "I mean, I did recognize one as resembling Mark and Matt Dixon - and another one I recognize as Marluxia Canata from 1975. The last one I sure can recognize as Chester Nogura."

"Benny Canata is the son of Marluxia and Betsy," explained Verne. "Max Dixon is the son of Matt and Heather, who were married for quite a few years. Bruce Nogura is a half-brother to Chester Nogura and Leslie O'Malley. What happened was, soon after the birth of Bruce - his father actually ended up cheating on his wife, Catherine."

"What my brother means is," added Jules, "is that Charlie Nogura actually cheated on his wife, Catherine - who was later on married Ryan O'Malley. So Ryan and Catherine are the parents of Kimberly, Nicole, and Leslie. So that's what ended up happening."

"Oh, hi, you guys," Jennifer commented, as she walked up to the gang. "It will seem like a surreal experience, as I'm giving birth to Marlene. Next year, Marty Jr will sure be born - and it seems so strange to think I've already met him a few times before."

"I see what you mean," Marty agreed, nodding. "It's just strange that we showed up at a time when you were nine months pregnant. I rather wish my older self wasn't on the road at this time. You must feel so nervous about becoming a new mother. I sure can imagine it feels strange to think you won't be seeing her for the first time."

"You know, Jennifer," Jules added, "I was thinking it'd be very neat if Patti and I had our first child at around the same time that Marty Jr was born. Remember, we'd sure be more than happy to stand by your side in the delivery room. Just let me know."

"I guess I won't quite be a typical mother," Jennifer replied, laughing. Suddenly, the ringing of a telephone could be heard. "I do have a call to take," Jennifer explained, as she reached for her cellphone. "Hello! Oh, hi, honey! That'll be so great! I'm very glad you were able to work it out! I guess I'll see you tomorrow. I love you, honey!"

"Was that my older self?" Marty asked, as Jennifer hung up. As Jennifer nodded, he added, "He didn't say anything about me being here - did he? He is planning to come home to see the birth of Marlene? I really do hope that's what's going to happen!"

"That's right!" Jennifer replied, beaming. "He had four concerts booked for next week, but his manager agreed to postpone them. My husband is quite persuasive, and it'll be so great to have him with me. I feel so much better, now - and a lot less anxious."

"That's such a relief," Marty replied, sighing. "I was about to wonder what became of my older self. I guess I could've just asked Haven, but I figured she wouldn't want to tell me - as I know her father is always saying that it's just not good to know so much about your own destiny. So I really didn't wish to place her in such a bad position."

"I guess there would've been no real harm in me telling you," Haven replied, softly. As she turned to Jennifer, she added, "Good luck with the baby, Jenn. You know, it quite feels strange to see the years of my youth in a new life. I guess that really must have been similar to how Marty felt, the both times that he went back to the year 1975."

"That was quite about two years before our parents met," Verne pointed out, "in the Sabrina-altered timeline. Of course, we all know that the two of them really met back in 1885. Even to this day, it's rather confusing to remember growing up in two eras."

"Of course, I wasn't even in Hill Valley in that year," Jennifer commented. "Well, I feel very exhausted right now - I guess I'd better start heading home. I guess I'll wish the two of you good luck in setting right whatever went wrong. Take care, both of you!"

"Thank you, Jennifer," Marty replied, as he threw his arms around her. As Jennifer headed to her car, he turned to Haven ans said, "I would guess my older self quite doesn't remember this experience - but I guess he will, once we leave this year."

"I guess that's how temporal amnesia works," suggested Haven. "I mean, could you imagine having a conversation with your younger self - while remembering the same conversation from when you were your younger self? It would seem forced."

"So what about that conversation between the Bills and the Teds?" asked Verne. As Marty looked rather confused, he added, "Oops, I'm very sorry, Marty. I guess you haven't watched that movie. Well, you should see it - when it comes out in 1989."

"Yeah, I see what you mean, Haven," agreed Marty. "I could still remember the time when Doc and I headed one week into the future, to pick up a video game for Verne that wasn't quite released yet. It was then that we found out what happened if you stayed in the future for over 24 hours. It was just quite a scary experience for me."

"I can imagine it would be," Haven replied, softly. "It feels quite strange to think that, even though I'm in my past, you're still in your future. You know, it's just a good thing that the manure truck was parked on the other side of the courthouse this time."

"I totally agree," Marty replied, nodding. "You know, before I had all these time travel adventures, I never realized just how bad the Ungers could be - as I was just so used to the the idea of the Ungers being a lackey of the bullies, if you know what I mean."

"I still can't believe you stole the skateboard from me," Haven said, laughing. "I guess I'll remember the event, shortly after I return to 2006. It's sure so amazing how much I've grown since then. I was so short back then - and look at me, now! I'm so tall!"

"You know, it was somewhat amazing how Marty Jr didn't steal my skateboard," Jules replied, laughing, "the one time he was rather stuck here, and he was chased around by Miff. Although, I guess that was because he already had his father's skateboard."

"Right, and he was temporarily posing as his father," Verne added. "After all, they both look alike. It's hard to believe that he'll be born sometime next year. It seems surreal to think of meeting him through the natural course of time - and as a baby, instead of the teenage boy that we've known him as when we met him before. "

"Yeah, I understand what you mean, Verne," commented Jules. "I really wonder who Harmony is, though. Come to think of it, I rather remember Harmony looking a lot like my fiance, Patti." Jules then broke out into a huge smile, as he added, "Oh, I know! I have a feeling she may be our daughter. By the way, Haven, you sure have grown!"

"At least, you didn't stay short into adulthood," Marty commented, sighing. He had to admit he quite envied Haven's height. "I guess we'd better join the rest of the crowd. I never meant to steal that skateboard from you. I was just in a hurry to get away."

"I understand," Haven replied, softly. "I thought it was so funny how you took from your daughter in 2006 - and, before that, you took from your sister in 1975. It sure feels like quite an interesting experience, being able to see my childhood years from an entirely different angle. It's also interesting to interact with your younger self."

"Hey, you guys," Patti called out, as the time travellers walked up. "These are some great friends of ours, Bethany Logan and Bridget Meyer. We figured we might head over to the new waterpark in town. Are you folks still feeling up for the idea?"

As Marty took a real close look at Bridget and Bethany, she recognized them as the girls that he first met when he was crying near the railroad tracks - shortly after his return from 1885. The girls later on became good friends with Jules and Verne.

"We'd be more than happy to come along," Marty replied, as he figured they might as well have some fun. "I'm, uh, Fox J Michael - and this is my girlfriend, Emily Green. An exciting waterpark is something I could sure go for right now. It just sounds like fun."

"It's a great pleasure to meet the two of you," Bridget replied, warmly. "I must say it's quite neat how this town is growing. I rather wonder what the town will be like twenty years from now. I can imagine Hilldale will become a real dump by them. I really wasn't ever the type of person to be such a huge sucker for whatever the latest fad was."
