Hill Valley, California
Biff walked toward the mall. It was like nothing he'd ever seen before. "Well, lookie what we have here. JC Penney. Whatever that is, I'm going in." He walked past morning shoppers; making his way across the very parking lot that Doc had done the time travel experiment in last night. In turn, the experiment that was partly responsible for Biff being where he was now.
However, he entered through a side door that led directly into the mall. He paused to look around and than noticed the Zales Jewelers. "So this is a mall, huh? Here's where Zales is, now what the hell else is here?" There were a few older folks, but he mostly saw kids, teenagers, and young adults shopping there. He knew that was a good sign. If his future son who apparently looked a bit like him, really lived 50 miles away, Biff might not be recognized and mistaken for him. If there weren't many older people, no one he knew from 1955 would likely see him.
With this in mind, he started walking around the enclosed walkways. He soon came across a big fountain pouring into a little pool in the center of the mall. Here, a bunch of people, mostly younger kids and their parents were tossing coins into it. He thought it was interesting, but a little strange. He went up to a woman in her 30s and asked, "What the hell is this stupid thing, and why are people throwing money into it?"
She said, "Haven't you seen one of these things before? If not, it's a fountain where people sit down. You can toss a penny in and make a wish. Of course, unless you were too busy getting into trouble, you would notice." Biff reached for his wallet and got a penny. He said, "Oh, it's just a penny, what the hell?" and threw it in. He wished he could find Doc and Calvin Klein, get back to 1955, and still give the guy a good knuckle sandwich.
At this time, the woman said, "Somehow I think I've seen you before." Biff replied, "Well, there's plenty of people who think that, maybe I just look like somebody else." Biff laughed a little at his own dumb joke before she replied, "Oh, okay, I'm going to go now, my husband is over there."
Once she was gone, Biff went up to her young son, who looked only about 5 or 6 and had a plastic toy airplane. "Hey kid, what is this, a toy airplane?" The boy nervously said, "Yeah, it can fly too." Biff said, "Well, let's see how far it can go." Than he purposely threw it at an angle so it would go into the fountain, to which he yelled in an upset voice, "Hey! What did you do to it?" Biff got up to go and just said, "You wanted to see if it would fly, now go get it!"
Than the kid yelled, "Mommy, look what that guy did!" The woman came running over and saw what happened. She called for her husband, "Honey, look at this. Some teenager just tossed Timmy's model airplane into the water!" The man said, "Why are some people such jerks? I'm sorry, sport, but I'll get you another one. Aren't you excited about visiting Aunt Lorraine & Uncle George today? Uncle George just wrote a new book too! What time do we have to be there, Sally?"
Biff ducked back into the crowd before he could hear that part of the conversation. Seeing that he got away unnoticed, he laughed out loud in a mean way "Ha ha ha ha ha." Now he decided to go into a few of these stores, but not before taking off his white coat he'd been wearing for a day by now. He also hadn't eaten in a long time, so he decided to make that his first stop, and went up to an A & W.
"Hey, could I get 2 hot dogs and a Root Beer?" The woman at the register couldn't have looked more unhappy than to have to be working there on a Saturday. She said, "Yeah, whatever, kid. That's gonna be $4.70." Biff said, "I guess that's more than it would've been in 1955. An ice cream cone on a stick was less than that." He than realized he was really in 1985 and everything cost more.
After finishing his food and drink, he went around and into a place called Sam Goody, where he heard loud music coming from. Upon walking in, he also experienced a brand new sight. He remembered records back from 1955, and there were still some now, but they were smaller and weren't that many of them. Most of the things that were there were little rectangular things called cassettes. These were expensive too; some of them were almost 10 bucks! But than again, everything was expensive in the future, so Biff was less surprised by now. He still decided that if he wasted 300 bucks on a manure incident on his car, than how much worse would it be to lose 10 or 20 more dollars? He thought about getting some futuristic music and taking it home to shock everyone.
Just than, he looked up at something that was playing in the store, it was called MTV. There was a brand of song he'd never heard before, with images to match. It was a rock song, but it was sung like a ballad, he couldn't believe it and thought it was nice. The song went, "Sister Christian, there's so much in life. Don't you give it up before your time is through. It's true, yeah."
He stood there watching alongside a few other kids in his general age group. Soon as that ended, another song came on, but it was a little louder and more like he thought rock and roll might end up being. It was very catchy though. Just than, a clerk came up to him. "Hey big guy, how's it hangin' today?" Biff answered honestly, "Not so good, but this song sounds good. I've never heard anything like this before." The clerk, Douglas J. Needles, said, "Really, almost everyone likes Huey Lewis today. Do you got strict parents or something?" Biff came up with another half-truth, "Uh yeah, I bet this would piss them off too." Needles than said, "My boss is on break right now, so if you wanna get this album for free, I'll just take out this stupid sensor. This song is called Heart & Soul."
Biff thanked him than asked, "You seem cool and I wonder if you know where to find the Mcfly's house. I ain't from around here." Needles than said "Oh yeah, I know where he's at. Marty Mcfly, the big M, I get that guy to do dangerous stuff all the time. All I've got to do is call him a chicken, and it'll solve anything. His address is 9303 Lyon Drive in the Lyon Estates housing complex." Biff said, "Oh yeah, I saw that place on the way over here, it seems like it ain't long ago they were building it. Well thanks a lot, I'm gonna get going."
With his assisted shoplifted copy of the "Sports" album in his pocket, and ready to go out looking for the house, he decided to have a look in Kragen Auto Parts, a store on the outside of the mall. He thought it might have something to make his Ford look better once he was home, if he did in fact make it home.
However, once he started looking around, he heard an oddly very familiar voice talking to the clerk. "Oh, no that's okay, I'll have to come by later and pick that spark plug up, I have to go over to George Mcfly's house now, I don't want to make him angry." The guy behind the counter than said, "Okay Biff, sure, I'll hold it for you since it's the last one." Younger Biff than almost fainted again and said "What the hell! That's gotta be me." as he ducked behind a display case, just in time to avoid being spotted by 47 year-old Biff jogging out of the store in a green track suit.
