"So, Doc," Marty asked, after the DeLorean broke the barrier, "what's on the plan?"
"Why don't we head out and grab a bite to eat?" Doc suggested. "We could probably take a little break, before we try to find out where my counterpart lives. So, do you have any suggestions? I would really like to go to some place besides Burger King."
"How about A&W?" Marty suggested. "They have really good root beer, and I could go for some bacon cheeseburgers right now. How does that sound to you?"
"All right, then," Doc said, quietly, "I guess we could stop by A&W. I just hope that we don't run into our counterparts there. Maybe they have a phone book there."
"I think they do, Doc," Marty replied. "We could try to figure out where you live."
"All right, here we are now," Doc said, as he pulled into the restaurant. "I can lock up the DeLorean, and nobody besides you and me can access it. We could then head in for a little while. I think I'll probably just have a root beer float."
oooooooooo
Marty was trying to enjoy his bacon cheeseburgers and the music that was pumped over the speakers, when one of the waitresses decided to sit at a table next to him. Her name was Stacy, and she was one of Linda's good friends.
"Oh, hello, Calvin," Stacy said. "You really enjoy those bacon cheeseburgers, don't you? If I ate like that, I would probably be about as fat as a house, you know."
"Uh, hello, Stacy," Marty replied, with a little uncertainty. Could it be possible that they might have returned to the dimension where he had a twin named Calvin? If that was the case, why was Stacy assuming that he was Calvin?
"I heard all about the news of your brother," Stacy continued. "I think it's wonderful to hear that Marty has gotten a huge promotion at his job. I'm so happy for him!"
"Uh, yeah, this is awesome," Marty said, as he was trying to digest everything that Stacy had said. His older brother, Dave, had just been promoted in the reality that he belonged in. He wondered what kind of job his counterpart had.
"So are you happy for Marty?" Stacy asked, smiling. "You must be so proud of him!"
"Well, yeah, of course!" Marty replied, nervously. "I'm so proud of my twin brother!"
"Hey, Calvin?" Stacy asked, with sudden concern. "Are you sure that you're feeling all right? Is everything okay? You seem a little bit, uh, confused tonight."
"Uh, yeah, sure, everything's great," Marty replied, as he fidgeted a little. "Why do you ask? I just said that I was happy that my twin brother got promoted."
"Well, Marty is not your twin," Stacy pointed out, gently. "He is five years older than you - and you two don't look anything alike. You don't have a twin brother, Calvin."
"Oh, uh, well," Marty said, stammering, "I just meant that I, uh, I guess I sometimes wish that Marty was my twin brother. Anyway, yeah, I'm really happy for him."
"Oh, I see," Stacy said, quietly. "Well, Calvin, I suppose I'd better head back to work now. I can tell that you really love those bacon cheeseburgers. Enjoy your dinner. Be sure to tell your brother that I wish him the best of luck. This is great news."
"Uh, yeah, I will," Marty replied, as Stacy was heading beck to the kitchen. Turning to Doc, he said, "I don't believe this, Doc! It looks like my older brother has, somehow, been named Marty - while my counterpart ended up being named Calvin."
"Great Scott!" gasped Doc, stunned. "I wonder what has resulted in that change of events. Well, after we finish eating, I'll go track down my counterpart right away."
oooooooooo
After dropping Jennifer off at her home, Calvin decided to head over to Doc's lab. He was happy that his older friend and Jessica had plans to move in together. He had to admit that he would really miss that garage, though. After all, the two of them had so many fond memories of being in that garage. He knew he mustn't be selfish, though.
Calvin slowly made his way up to the door of Doc's garage. He had to admit that he did miss being the most important person in his friend's life. Still, it would be wrong to begruge his older friend of his happiness. Doc has been happy within the last few months - and Calvin knew that Doc deserved to have some romance in his life.
"Calvin, you made it!" Doc exclaimed, as he opened up the door. "Tomorrow, I really would like to show you the house that Jessica and I picked for us. When the two of us decide to tie the knot early next year, I sure would love for you and Jennifer to stand up at our wedding. I would like you to be the Best Man and the Maid of Honour."
"This is great, Doc," Calvin said, as he stepped into the garage. "I am so happy that the two of you are planning to spend the rest of your lives together. Perhaps, one of your kids may end up falling in love with one of my kids. That would be so nice!"
"Hey, Calvin," Jessica said, cheerfully, "How would you like to have some brownies?"
"Whew, these look delicious," Calvin commented, as he grabbed a few brownies. "I really would like for the two of you to stand up at our wedding, too - when Jennifer and I finally decide to get married. It's only fair to return the favour, you know."
"Well, Calvin, wouldn't you rather..." Doc started to ask, then there was knock at the door that interrupted them. Calvin swallowed, as he wondered who it could be.
"Hello, uh... Great Scott!" Doc said, he opened the door. "Calvin, I see another you standing outside of my lab. I wonder if this might possibly be your future son."
"Actually, no, Doc, I'm not," Calvin's look-alike said, said quietly. "I came here from an alternate reality - and Doc is here with me, too. We're both hopelessly stuck with hopping through alternate realities, and we can't seem to return home."
"I'm over here," said Doc's look alike, as he stood up. Calvin took a really close look at their visitors, and tried his best to not faint. "Look, can the two of us come in?"
"Yeah, sure, I guess so," the local Doc said, as he stepped aside to let the visitors in.
"So you're Emmett and Calvin, too?" Jessica asked, as the visitors stepped inside.
"Actually, my name is Marty," the Calvin look-alike explained. "My name is Martin Seamus McFly. I did use the name Calvin Klein, though - when I was in 1955."
"Holy shit!" gasped Calvin, as he was stunned by his counterpart's words. "My name was Marty in the original timeline! Hey, Doc, do you remember how you stopped by our house the following morning after I returned from 1955? You told Jennifer and I that we needed to head back to the future with you. I, however, told you that I was not interested - because I was reeling from the fact that my name had changed?"
"Great Scott!" gasped the visiting Doc. "We found out about your name being Calvin, when the two of us decided to grab a little bite to eat at A&W. We also found out that your older brother was named Marty, instead of Dave. it was a shock to us."
"I thought you and, uh, Marty must be twins," Marty explained. "In the first alternate reality that we visited, the two of you were twins - while Dave was still Dave. So are you saying that, when you woke up the next morning, you discovered that you were Calvin? This is so heavy. I wonder what had led to that change of events."
"I was very surprised, too," the local Doc explained, "when I saved Calvin from Cliff Tannen and his gang. I was worried that this event might create a time paradox."
"So, what about Linda?" Marty asked. "Is her name still Linda?"
"Yeah, it is," Calvin explained. "It took me quite a while to get used to the fact that my name was no longer Marty, even after my new memories had kicked in. I have to say that I kind of miss being Marty. I don't care for the name Calvin so much."
"Why don't you guys spend the night here?" the local Doc said. "I will take a look at your time machine tomorrow, and see if I may be able to figure out what's wrong."
"Hey, Marty," Calvin said, gently, "you can sleep at my house, if you'd like. I really don't mind spending the night here with Doc. We can maybe talk more tomorrow."
"Yeah, I think it's about time for me to turn in, as well," Jessica added. "I'll try to be here early tomorrow morning. I can hardly wait for us to move into our new home."
"Thank you so much, Calvin," Marty said, as he hugged his counterpart. "I sure can use some rest, as it's really been a long day for Doc and myself."
"Here's my skateboard," Calvin said, as he handed the stateboard to Marty.
