Jules Clint Brown stretched, just as his mother left the bedroom. He then glanced at his brother, Verne Calvin Brown - who was in the twin bed across the room. He tried to go to sleep, but he really had a lot on his mind. It had been just one month, since his family had visited the future - and, in one month, they would be leaving 1893.

He really had mixed feelings on the whole prospect of moving almost a whole century into the future. On one hand, he had quite come to appreciate a style of music called "rock and roll" - with his favourite being Led Zeppelin and Huey Lewis and The News.

He then thought of how Verne also grew to like the style - and, in fact, Verne seemed to want to listen to the music almost all the time. It was often hard for Jules to pry his brother away from the shed - so that they could do things like swim or play catch.

Indeed, while there certainly were things about the future that Jules liked, he also felt quite sad about leaving behind the era. Of course, he sure would miss all of his friends - and, in fact, his friends would all probably be dead. The concept was simply troubling to him, to say the least. After all, death was always just a morbid topic to think about.

Tears filled his eyes, as he thought of how much he really loved his friends. It seemed strange to ponder over just how the legendary "Clint Eastwood" was, in actuality, the future descendant of William McFly. "Clint Eastwood" was, in reality, Martin McFly.

Indeed, there simply did appear to be a great resemblance between Willie and Marty - and both were short for their ages. It just felt quite strange to think of how one of his close friends was, in fact, a direct ancestor of the legendary "Clint Eastwood" himself.

He wondered what the children of the future would think about him. Would they come to like him, and would they view him as a "freak"? Granted, he quite managed to make friends with all of the local children - except for Charlie Needles and his friends. It was to be expected, though - considering that Charlie was a bully that most nobody liked.

In fact, Jules himself remembered the time that he stood up to Charlie - and the latter really ended up with a bloody nose, a sprained ankle, and a sprained wrist. The whole school, including the older pupils, respected him for that - and he felt so triumphant.

He parents usually were not the type of people to advocate violence, but this was the one instance when they made an exception. After all, he had not only rather stood up for himself - but he also stood up for his friends, of who were all grateful towards him.

He wondered if there would be a bully at his new school. After having really managed to teach Charlie the lesson of a lifetime, he felt quite confident in his ability to take on other bullies. Of course, if anyone rather dared to torment Verne - that person would have to answer to him. Only he was the one allowed to tease his brother.

Indeed, he simply had a lot to look forward to. However, he would also have a whole century's worth of history to get caught up on. While he was a fast learner, the very thought intimidated him. Would his new teacher just consider him to be unintelligent?

Jules hated the thought of being considered "dumb" in his new school, by his teacher or the other pupils. He was simply so used to being considered the smartest amongst his age group, some of who were even a little older. He hated for that to change.

While he really grew quite fond of rock and roll music and video games, he did not feel entirely comfortable with the future technology. After all, there was really the danger of being killed by electricity - if you were to handle certain appliances improperly. That very concept gave him the shivers. Granted, he always hated the thought of dying.

He did learn quite a few basics about the future, such as the fact that there would be two major world wars - along with several other wars that the United States would be involved in. Jules quite hated the idea of wars, as it really meant a lot of bloodshed.

He also learned that schools would be quite larger, which simply meant that he and his brother would be separated during the day. There was the possibility they they would not even be able to meet together for recess for lunch. He began to worry that Verne might be scared, if they could not be together. In fact, he himself might feel scared.

Then again, his brother seemed to be even more excited about the trip into the future than he was. Even though the future would have a lot of exciting things, Jules figured that he would be able to adjust to staying in the past - even though Verne might not.

He quite wondered how his mother felt about moving into the future. While his father grew up in the 20th Century, his mother didn't. How would his mother take to living in an era that was so different from the one she spend nearly four decades living on?

Even Jules had a few misgivings about living in the future. He figured that it would be more dangerous to cross the street, as he knew that automobiles moved much faster than carriages with horses did. It also simply bothered him to think of how trees were often being torn down, so that industries and businesses could be built in their place.

The thought of there being less nature really did make Jules feel a little sad. While he was interested in science and technology, he quite did not like the idea of technology completely replacing nature. He figured that there needed to be a healthy balance.

Still, there were other things that he was looking forward to. He quite figured that he and Verne would have less chores to do. It would simply be easier to warm the house in the winter, and cool the house in the summer. Also, travelling would be easier.

He then thought about the most important reason for moving into the future. Neither he nor his mother originally existed in this era. His father really was raised in the 20th Century, and even his mother had originally fell over a ravine. Indeed, it was so risky to the space-time continuum for the family to stay here. He shuddered at the idea.

The fact that he and Verne were rather close friends with Sarah Lathrop - along with her brother, Abraham - was just unsettling. After all, Sarah was actually his paternal grandmother - who also happened to be around two months younger than Verne.

He began to thing of his other grandmother, Grandma Martin. While she and Grandpa Daniel lived in New Jersey, they really managed to make it to Hill Valley for Christmas. He was quite fond of his grandparents, and he would simply miss their annual visits.

Indeed, there actually were a lot of things that he would miss. He wondered if Verne would also miss those things. Granted, Verne simply seemed to be a little more eager to move into the future. After all, Verne has seemed to taken a major fancy to video games and rock and roll music. Still, Verne would also be leaving behind his friends.

Jules swallowed, as he thought of what all he would be leaving behind. Even though he was real enthralled with the future, he also felt quite apprehensive about leaving behind the life that he knew well. The future seemed to be exciting and frightening.

He did understand his brother's fondness for rock and roll music, since he also enjoyed the sound. While his mother felt that the music was too noisy for her, it sure made him feel excited. Indeed, he was actually looking forward to hearing more of the music.

Jules then smiled, as he thought of the story of what Marty did to his father in 1955. He figured that it sure would be fun to scare Charlie Needles with rock and roll music. He could lock Charlie in a cellar, and then simply blast the music very loud. He figured that Charlie would simply scream his head off, and Jules would simply laugh at him.

He then realized that, as fun as the idea sounded, it sure would be risky. After all, his father was always warning him and Verne to not let his friends know about any of the futuristic stuff. At least, he would not have to deal with Charlie for too much longer.

Granted, in 1985, Charlie would probably be replaced with a new bully - perhaps even one of Charlie's descendants. After all, Jules simply heard the story about how one of Charlie's descendants led to Martin ruining his life - until Jules' father had intervened.

Jules decided that he would actually make the most of his remaining month in the 19th Century. He in a deep breath, as he really resolved to spend as much time as possible with his friends, as well as enjoying the nature. He quite hoped that his brother would do the same. There really would be plenty of time for rock and roll music in the future.

He thought of the song by a band called Cinderella, entitled Don't Know What You've Got Till It's Gone. Why the band had named themselves after a fairy tale, he had not a clue - but the song sure did seem to apply to the life that he and Verne were about to leave behind. Perhaps, it might even be a good idea to play that song for Verne.

Jules closed his eyes, as he did his best to fall asleep. He figured that, in a sense, he sure was a lucky boy. After all, not too many children really had a chance to move to another era. He still could not help but feel as if he was torn between two centuries.

Jules then decided that it was just best not to fret over the move. After all, he would have plenty of new adventures to look forward to. He figured that it just was best to look on the positive. After all, he figured that his parents really knew what was best.

He wondered if his brother was still awake - and, if so, what his brother was thinking about. He swallowed, as he sure resolved to make the most of what lay ahead - and to maintain an optimistic spirit. He decided that the important thing was the fact that he would still have his loving family. He smiled contentedly, as he slowly fell asleep.
