Marty sat with Lorraine in his arms, nuzzled up against him. Sitting in the afterglow, he attempted to get his footing on the situation, but he just wanted to sit there caressing her as he relaxed.

"Um, Marty?" Lorraine chimed, knowing she could woo him more in his dizzying state of mind. He looked at her expectantly and a soft smile had made its way onto his face.

"Yeah?" he asked.

"I was wondering... if you would go to the theatre with me?" she suggested. She wasn't sure what was playing, but she didn't really care. She had done all these things with Marty and she felt it would be appropriate to at least have some kind of date. Marty had a glazed over look in his eyes. He seemed kind of out of it.

"Huh? Oh, uh... yeah, sure, whatever." Marty agreed. Lorraine squealed, and hugged him tight.

"Oh, thank you! When do you wanna go?" Lorraine asked. Marty only now realized what he had agreed to, and although he did want to go, he knew this wasn't helping things. He put his clothes back on and turned to her, putting a finger to his lips and telling her to be quiet. He cracked the bathroom door and peeked out to make sure the coast was clear. Closing it again, he leaned back up against the sink to think about her question.

"Um... I don't know what's playing." he told her. It was true, he didn't know, and he also didn't know how to back out of her invitation, since he had just agreed. "I mean, I can go tomorrow if you want. After school, that is." Marty added. Lorraine thought about it for a moment.

"Well, you know couples don't really go to the movies to watch the movies." Lorraine told him deviously, and Marty blushed at her suggestion. She wrapped her arms around his neck and hung onto him temptingly. Rather hesitantly, he wrapped his arms around her as well, pulling her close to him.

"Of course not." Marty replied in a soft, almost breathy whisper. Lorraine grinned at him with bedroom eyes, giddy at his actions.

"Then tomorrow night?" Lorraine asked. Marty nodded at her. Oh boy, what was he doing? First he started using her like a friend-with-benefits, now he's actually going on a date with her... and to make matters worse, he really does love her. He can't deny it.

"Sure thing. Should I go see what's playing, then?" Marty asked her. Lorraine planted a soft kiss on his cheek, and even though he was used to her affection, his face still grew red.

"Yeah. Uhh... should I go now?" she asked. A part of him wanted her to stay, but he was getting enough attention from her as is. He cracked the door again and peered out hesitantly. There didn't appear to be any sign of Doc, so he signaled to her to follow him and he escorted her out.

Later

Marty had found what was playing at the theatre, all of which were movies he hadn't ever seen, and for that matter, wasn't interested in seeing. The only one he was familiar with was Walt Disney's Lady and the Tramp. It was kind of ironic, that he would go see that movie with Lorraine, concerning the whole situation he was in.

He bought two tickets for an 8 pm showing and went back to Doc's to wait around.

Thursday, November 10th 10:00 am

Marty stretched as he woke up, and as he did, he clumsily fell off of the couch and onto the floor with a loud thud. He gathered himself and sat up, looking at the clock. It was early, and so he still had plenty of time to do... nothing, really. laying back on the couch, he put his arms behind himself and took a deep breath, contemplating his actions.

"I'm going out with her tonight..." he thought. He recollected the actions he had already taken the last few days, things of which could not be undone. He thought about how they had explored one another, how many kisses they had shared... he shivered. The thought of her kisses made him feel all warm and fuzzy, but another part of him, the part f him that knew what he was doing was wrong, was screaming for him to stop.

"She's my mother..." Marty thought, realizing now just how messed up everything he had done thus far to be. But this was different, right? This wasn't his mom... not yet, at least. This was Lorraine, a sweet girl who he had unfortunately fallen for.

"What am I gonna do with myself?" Marty asked. What happens if his dad doesn't get with her? He'll be gone. Zip. Zilch. History. Or rather, not history. Marty sighed. But he loved her. So much. He didn't want to leave her, but eh didn't exactly want to DIE, either. His life and his siblings' lives depended on his actions right now. Marty shook his head. He would have to convince her to go for George at the movies. After all, he really couldn't stay. he would just use the excuse that he was just visiting, after all, so he wouldn't be able to stay with her, so she should clearly go after someone else. Marty felt his heart sink. Just the thought of seeing the sad, disappointed look on her face when he told her this made him upset.

7:30 pm

Marty looked at the clock, knowing that the movie would start soon. He didn't want to go over to Lorraine's house, since he knew her parents would be suspicious, so he had arranged with her earlier to come get him when she was ready to go. Marty had dressed himself rather nicely and was waiting around, sitting on the couch. Doc walked in and looked at him.

"Why are you dressed up so fancy?" Doc asked, suspicious. Marty thought quickly.

"Oh, I'm taking my parents to the movies together. I'm going to sit away from them and keep an eye on them." Marty told him. He was pretty proud of his lie, because it sounded pretty authentic. Doc nodded.

"Good idea." he replied. Marty sighed as Doc walked away, glad that he had bought his cover up. Just then, there was a knock at the door. Marty got up and answered it, seeing Lorraine standing there. She smiled sweetly at him, and he returned her smile. Marty glanced behind himself and then turned back to Lorraine, nodding at her as he walked out of the door and closed it behind him. Holding the two tickets, he gave one to her.

"What movie is it?" Lorraine asked curiously. She looked at the ticket, reading the movie title. "Oh! I haven't seen this yet. I'm excited for it. Disney movies are always really nice." she said, looking up at him. Marty was familiar with the movie already because he had seen almost every Disney movie released so far.

"I've already seen it," Marty started. "It's cute, I guess." he said, again thinking about the situation he was in, and how it was kind of ironic that they would see a romantic movie.

The two made their way to the Essex Theatre and Marty presented their tickets, allowing them to go in and take their seats. There were not too many people there, to their luck. As they sat down, the movie started, and the Walt Disney logo showed on the screen, the familiar castle and arch of light behind it.

It was already a fair bit into the movie, at the scene where Lady was outside discussing with her neighbors about the baby, when Tramp came along and began talking with her. Lorraine seemed invested in watching, and Marty glanced at her. She turned to look at him for a moment and she grabbed his arm and leaned against him, smiling before turning her attention back to the screen. Marty just smiled at her and sat back as the film continued.

The movie progressed, and when it reached the scene with Lady and Tramp eating the spaghetti, Lorraine turned to Marty and smiled at him expectantly. Looking at her, he wondered what she wanted, but his question was answered when she planted her lips on his for a few seconds, taking him by surprise. She turned back to the screen as if nothing had happened, but Marty's face had been left feeling a little hot.

The next scene showing Lady and Tramp strolling through the park together made Lorraine snuggle up against Marty even more, like she was hinting to him of something, though he wasn't sure what it was. She sighed and he put an arm around her.

Eventually the movie reached its climax with the scene of Tramp saving the baby and being adopted by Darling and Jim Dear, which then cut to the Christmas scene with Lady and her family. Lorraine looked at Marty, thoughts racing through her mind. She wondered, would he ever consider having children with her? Marty looked at her, noticing her cloudy gaze.

The movie's credits finally began to roll and several people left the theatre. Marty still had his eyes met with Lorraine's gaze. "What's the matter?" he asked. Lorraine shook her head.

"Oh! Nothing. I was just... thinking." she said Marty bit his lip. He had to tell her sometime, and now was better than never.

"Look, Lorraine... I really like you, I do. But I can't stay here. I'm just visiting, and it's not up to me to be here." Marty told her, a somber tone in his voice. "But I've really enjoyed my time with you while I've been here... I guess what I'm saying is, when I'm gone, don't be afraid to see other people." Marty told her. Lorraine looked sad, which made his heart sink, but she nodded at him anyways and snuggled against his chest. The two got up and left the theatre.

As they exited, Lorraine turned to Marty and grabbed his hands. "Marty... let's go somewhere else." Lorraine suggested, wanting to get something to eat.

"I don't have anymore money on me." Marty replied, feeling a bit guilty. He should have planned ahead for this. Lorraine shrugged, and hugged Marty.

"That's fine. Can't we just go for a walk or something?" she asked. Marty nodded, but he still felt guilty for not taking her somewhere to eat. the two walked wit their fingers intertwined, and like in the movie they just watched, they strolled down the path in the park, enjoying the scenery. Marty thought about how he would have to leave her, how he wouldn't be able to feel her lips brush against his own, how he wouldn't be able to hold her in his arms, how he wouldn't be able to hold her close and smell her sweet scent... it broke his heart.

"Lorraine..." Marty turned to her, brushing a piece of her hair to the side and staring into her eyes. She looked up at him, her eyes twinkling with passion, and she kissed him softly again, the kiss short and sweet. He wrapped his arms around her and held her close to him. The two sat down on a park bench and stared up at the stars. Even though it was cold, the heat from their bodies kept them warm.

Marty had safely escorted Lorraine back to her house and told her goodnight. It was quite late by now, being around 11 pm, so Marty quickly made his way back to Doc's mansion to get to sleep.
