Could it be? Marty thought. Could it really be Biff?
Biff stepped up. "Well hello. My name is Biff Tannen and this is my friend Ron Presley, but everyone calls 'im Weird Ron Presley. What are you're names?" Biff said.
Marty thought for a while. He couldn't use his real name, since Biff knew his father and him, so he chose a different name. "Uh, my name is Stewart Copeland, but everyone calls me Disco Stu. And he is my, uh uncle, Christopher Copeland." Marty said, pointing to Doc, remembering one of the band members in one of his favorite music groups called The Police.
"You know, Stu, you look so familiar to me. Do I know your father?" Biff asked.
Marty smiled. "Yeah I think maybe you do." He said with a chuckle.
Ron stepped up to Jennifer. "And who is this fine young lady?" Ron said with a smirk.
"My name is uh, uh, Elizabeth Wells." Jennifer said.
"Yeah, my girlfriend." Marty pointed out.
Ron laughed. "You?! You're too puny for this girl!" He said.
Marty saw red! He was about to give Ron a piece of his mind when Biff spoke up.
"Ron, leave him alone. He's not puny. He looks like a pretty good kid to me." Biff said.
Marty was truly shocked. He had expected that Biff would laugh along with Ron, but instead, he defended him! This wasn't like Biff at all.
"Don't worry about it." Doc said.
"Say, Betty." Ron said to Jennifer. "You wanna see the concert with me?" He put his hand on her hand.
"No, I'm afraid not." Jennifer said. "I am going to see the concert with those two people." She pointed to Doc and Marty.
"We won't trouble ya then." Biff said. "I'm sorry about what happened earlier. Let's go Ron." Biff and Ron walked off.
"Can you believe it?" Marty said. "Biff actually was nice to us!"
"Yes, this is rather surprising." Doc said. "Actually, when your father punched Biff in 1955, Biff actually became nice. That must explain it."
"Yeah, but Doc." Marty started. "He is only nice to us McFlys. When I went to my house from 1885, Biff didn't recognise me in my cowboy suit and called me a butthead. Only when I threw my hat back and said 'Watch it Biff!' to him, then he acted nice."
"Still, this is kind of strange." Jennifer said.
"This isn't like the Tannen linage at all." Doc said.
"Well, it's not Biff that I didn't like, it's that sleaze who was with him." Jennifer said, disgusted. "He tried to make a pass at me!"
"If that son of a bitch lays one finger on your hair..." Marty started, his hands clenched into fists.
"Now, now, there is no need for violence." Doc said. "We don't want to get into any fights. It could change history. Let's just watch the concert." Doc said.
"The concert starts in one hour. My God, when's it gonna start?!" Marty said, impatient.
"Relax Marty, it'll start soon." Jennifer said, looking nervous.
"Jennifer, are you still worried about Ron?" Doc asked.
"Well, yeah. I don't want him to make another pass at me." Jennifer said.
"Don't worry, if we stick together, we should be fine." Doc said.
"And Biff might protect us if Ron starts something." Marty said.
