Back To The Future Part IV: A Famous Journey

Chapter 7: An Old Enemy

Dennis and Ace ran out to his blue Ford T-Bird, got in, and left. Ace was shaking her legs rapidly in the car. "Dennis, please hurry!" "I can only drive so fast, jeez."

They eventually got to the studio and Ace practically flew as she got out of the car. She dashed to where she parked before, but as she got there, a group of boys her age where stealing her car. "Shit!" She yelled so loud that all of them heard it. "Come on, come on!" Dennis grabbed her by the arm and they raced back to his car to chase after them. They got in and before Ace could get her right leg into the car, Dennis floored it. "Jesus Christ man! What ever happened to 'I can only drive so fast?'" Ace said adding a sarcastic voice.

Dennis ignored Ace's remark and continued driving. He was going about seventy-five miles an hour, chasing after Ace's only chance back to life. The DeLorean took a long spin and ended up in a dead end alley, with Dennis blocking their way out. The five punk assed teenage boys got out of the car, in disappointment and disgust, as they almost succeeded in their plan. The leader of the teenage gang then spoke to Dennis and Ace.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?" Ace sighed angrily. "Let me rephrase the question, what the hell do you think you're doing? That's my car dick head!" The leader laughed. "I'm sorry, I won't accept that comment. It wouldn't do you any good anyway." Ace sensed a familiar feeling throughout her mind. "What?" She said making sure that's exactly what he said. "Look kid, it's not your car. Why don't you just give it back to which it belongs to or I'll call the fucking cops okay?" All the boys laughed. "Who is this, you're dad?" Ace opened her mouth in disgust. "Only one way to waste this bitch." Then it came to Ace, the leader of the delinquent gang was really Derek; the man in the future who screwed up most of her life. "Derek?" She asked in question. The boys all looked at each other in surprise and in confusion. "How did you know that?" Derek asked "I'm... actually a psychic! I know your dreams, your weaknesses, your sad guilty pleasures, and how humiliating your life will end... Derek Edwards. Each person of the gang seemed to be a bit frightened. "Yeah, right. Nice try bitch." Ace smirked evilly. "Do you want to see the magic of the psychic world?" Ace sneakily pulled out of her pocket the remote control to the DeLorean that was left in the car when she went back in time. Behind her back she started operating the car. She revved the engine a few times, and made the car move and brake towards them, to get them to run away. "Oh shit she's not lying Derek!" The boys were whimpering and moaning in terror, as Ace let go of the brakes and accelerated the car at full power. Derek and his gang ran as fast as they could never looking back. Ace stopped the car as she and Dennis were laughing hysterically together.

Ace turned to Dennis. "Dennis, thank you so much for helping me. You don't know how much this means to me." Dennis smiled faintly. "No problem babe." They looked at each other for a few seconds. "You're fine with the DeLorean right?" Ace nodded. "I'll meet you home."

As soon as the two got home, they both sat on the couch making one big exasperated sigh. "What else do you know about me?" Dennis said. "Well, at a party, you defended a lady's honor after a man slapped her, and you pushed the guy through a screen door... you got your ass kicked." Dennis tilted his head in confusion. "I don't remember that one..." "Well, maybe you were lying to me one day." Dennis sniffed a few times, then so did Ace. "Um... is it okay if I can borrow some of your clothes... and take a shower?" Dennis gave her an odd look. "My clothes?" He said. "If it's okay with you." Dennis nodded. "Okay, I guess that's fine." Ace grinned. "I love you Dennis!" She said giving him a hug. Dennis coughed. "Alright, go and take you're shower." He said weakly. Ace left as Dennis turned on the television.

Ace jumped into the shower quickly, turning on the water and rinsing herself. She starts singing 'Self Control' by Laura Branigan. Dennis gets up from the couch; since there is nothing on the tube, and he walks to his bedroom to change. He walks past the bathroom and hears Ace singing. He smiles a small smile and walks into his room. Soon, Ace opens her eyes in the shower to reach the soap, when she sees her only fear right before her own eyes. Ace screams at the top of her lungs when she sees the eight legged monster. She gives another scream, this time Dennis running out of his room half undressed. "Jesus Christ! What's going on?" "Spider!!!" She shrieked at the top of her lungs. Dennis sighed in relief. "Just a damn spider?" "What do you mean just a damn spider?! Kill it, kill it!" Ace continued shouting. Dennis grabbed a tissue. "Look, I swear I won't look at you when I do this." Ace rolled her eyes. "Yeah, right." Dennis saw the spider, and not looking at Ace, he crushed and killed it. Ace looked at Dennis. "Damn you're skinny as hell." Dennis shut the shower door. "Am I supposed to take that as a compliment?" Ace chuckled. "Yeah!" Dennis left to go finish dressing.

Twenty minutes later Dennis was back in the living room on the couch. He wore a gray suit, gray pants, white undershirt, and a black tie. He had his dark brown hair styled; which was a poofy mullet-perm. He had gorgeous green eyes to complete his collection. Ace finally came out of Dennis' room wearing her signature outfit. She wore a black suit, black pants, white undershirt pulled out, and a black tie with her light brown hair spiked downward. She also wore black eye shadow with eyeliner, mascara, and red lipstick; which was in her old outfits' pockets. Her favorite accessory that she was wearing was black eighties earrings. Her dark brown coffee eyes seemed to have been hidden from her dark night-like makeup. Her final addition was the classic black high-top Chuck Taylor's All-star Converse.

"Wow, nice outfit." Dennis said half sarcastically as he looked at his own suit. Ace walked over to Dennis and sat on his lap. "I can't believe I'm saying this, but I actually like you." Dennis looked up at Ace. "What am I an asshole or something in the future?" Ace nodded considerably. "Yes, an asshole." "Not a charming asshole?" "In a way yes." Then the phone rings. Ace gets off of Dennis' lap so he can answer the phone. "Hello?" He answers. "Yes. Uh-huh. Sure, sure. I'll be there." He hangs up. "Looks like there's going to be a party tonight. Want to come with me?" Ace's eyes lit up quickly. "As in a date?" "Well, if you want too." Ace grabbed Dennis' hands and held them up to her. "You don't know how much this means to me..." Ace starts fake crying on his chest. "Okay, sure. Let's go out and eat before we leave." With that being said, the two left and headed downtown.
