April 4, 1986
4:00 AM PST
As the DeLorean broke the time barrier, Harmony then decided to land the DeLorean at Lone Pine Mall.
'Whew!' breathed Marty Jr. 'I guess you weren't kidding, Harmony - when you told me about the time machine. It actually worked. We're actually in 1986!'
'Yeah, here we are,' replied Harmony. 'We'll have to hide this DeLorean somewhere, so that my grandpa's younger self doesn't see it.'
'Well, where should we hide it?' asked Marty Jr.
After driving around for awhile, they've finally drove the DeLorean into the park. As Harmony was parking it, though, she accidently bumped it into a tree, breaking the Mr. Fusion generator.
'Oh, great,' muttered Marty Jr. 'Perfect, just perfect.'
'Hey, Marty, we're in our favourite decade, now!' exclaimed Harmony. 'I wouldn't mind staying here. Besides, it could be worse. We could have been stuck in 1956 - or, even worse, stuck in 1886.'
'Well, I guess you're right, Harmony,' sighed Marty Jr. 'I guess this would be the best time period as any to be stuck in. Still, I'm going to miss my family - and my friends. I mean, at least you're here - so, yeah, I could we could look around, and become aquainted with this era.'
'Well, we can't be seen walking around town, during school hours,' said Harmony. 'People would think we were playing hookey, and suspect that something is up.'
'Well, yeah,' agreed Marty Jr, sighing, 'I suppose we should get some rest, and then we'll have plenty of time after school hours to look around town.'
'Yeah, that sounds great,' Harmony said, nodding.
Then Marty Jr and Harmony stepped back into the DeLorean, reclined their seats, and soon fell asleep.
oooooooooo
Man, what a bright, sunshiny day it is, today! Marty thought cheerfully, as he was skateboarding and car-surfing to school. Things were going great. Her parents were much cooler and supportive then they were before Marty first travelled back to 1955. Even though Marty had both sets of memories from both timelines - he know that, if he hadn't travelled back to 1955, he would have been stuck with a wimpy father and an alcoholic mother. As soon as Marty had arrived at school, he realized that he actually came to school on time for once - with ten minutes to spare.
'There you are, Marty,' Jennifer called out, cheerfully. 'It's nice that you've made it on time, today.'
'Yeah, well, today is such a nice day,' replied Marty, 'I don't want anything to spoil it for me.'
'So, Marty, you have auditions after school?' asked Jennifer.
'Uh, yeah, I do,' Marty answered. 'I'll call you as soon as I get home, though. I promise.'
'Good,' said Jennifer, as she quickly embraced Marty. 'Now I suppose we'd better head off to class.'
'Call you when I get home!' Marty called, after Jennifer.
oooooooooo
After sleeping for about six hours, Marty Jr woke up. He glanced at the current time on the time display pannels. It was only 10:50 AM. I guess I'd better let Harmony sleep, Marty Jr thought.
Just then, Harmony was waking up, too.
'What time is it?' mumbled Harmony.
'It's 10:52 AM,' replied Marty Jr. 'We have of time to kill until three. Let's see what they have the radio.'
Marty Jr then snapped on the DeLorean radio. It was not hard at all to find some good music. Marty Jr stopped the dial at a station that was playing The Power of Love by Huey Lewis and The News.
'This has always been my dad's favourite song,' replied Marty Jr. 'That's my favourite song, too.'
'I prefer Hip To Be Square,' replied Harmony, 'but, yeah, Huey Lewis and The News rules. It's too bad that this hip-hop and rap crap now dominates the airwaves.'
'I wouldn't worry about it too much,' said Marty Jr. 'Rock and roll will always live on.'
'Yeah, but rock and roll was the dominant music back in the 80s,' sighed Harmony. 'Now it's this hip-hop and rap crap that members are our generation are expected to like.'
'Well, on the positive side,' said Marty Jr, 'there is the Cafe 80s, which a relatively popular hang out with our generation. So there is sort of an 80s retro movement going on.'
'Yeah, but that's not quite the same thing,' Harmony said, with a sigh. 'Besides, the Cafe 80s is really not done up very well. Nothing can replace the real thing.'
'Yeah, that's very true,' agreed Marty Jr. 'I actually wouldn't mind living in this era, even though I would miss the hoverboards.'
'Hoverboards are overrated, anyway,' sighed Harmony, 'and they're more dangerous than skateboards. I would prefer to stay here in this time, where things are simpler.'
'Yeah, but what about your family and friends?' protested Marty Jr. 'Wouldn't you miss them?'
'Yeah, I suppose I would,' replied Harmony. 'I really do envy the people of your dad's generation, though.'
'Yeah, I admit that I do, too,' Marty Jr said, sighing.
'So, come 3:00, where should we go?' asked Harmony
'Well, we could check out McDonald's,' suggested Marty Jr. 'I'm a little curious to see what McDonald's was like, in this time.'
'We should also pick up some M&Ms,' added Harmony. 'I've heard that the M&Ms of this time are different.'
oooooooooo
As soon as the last bell rang, signifying the end of school, Marty headed over to the auditorium, where auditions were being held. Marty's band, The Pinheads, were the second to perform. Marty felt a little jittery.
'I hope our band passes for the auditions,' Marty whispered to Zach, his best friend - besides Doc, that is.
'Yeah, let's keep our fingers crossed,' whispered Zach.
Calm down, now, Marty, Marty told himself. Everything will be okay. Everything will be okay.
'Next, now!' called the audition judge.
'That's us,' Zach whispered to Marty.
After Marty and his band members walked onto the stage, Marty said, 'Alright, we're The Pinheads.'
Energetically, Marty and his band began to play The Power of Love. When the group was done, all the judges were clapping.
'We did it!' Marty cheered, excitedly. He was so happy, he wanted to skip around. Maybe, some day, Marty thought, we will be discovered.
