As Marty Jr and Harmony were eating at McDonalds, some gang of tough-looking walked up to them.

'Hey! The big M,' smirked Douglas Needles. 'How's it hanging, McFly?'

'I, uh, I guess I'm fine,' stammered Marty Jr. 'How about you?'

Needles then glanced at Harmony, and asked, 'So, McFly, who's that pretty girl who's sitting next to you? Did you and Jennifer break up?'

'I, uh,' stammered Marty Jr, turning red.

'My name is Harmony, uh, McFly!' chimed in Harmony. 'I'm Harmony McFly. I'm Marty's cousin. He did not break up with Jennifer.'

'I see,' smirked Needles. Then turning to Marty Jr, he asked, 'So, McFly, why didn't you tell me before that you had such a sexy cousin?'

Needles then started to touch Harmony in some inappropriate places.

'Hey, you bojo!' shouted Marty Jr. 'You get your filthy hands off of her right now!'

'Why, what's the matter, McFly?' sneered Needles. 'If she's your cousin, and you're still dating Jennifer - then this Harmony chick is ripe for the plucking, no?'

'No, she's not!' shouted Marty Jr. Then, as loudly as he could, he screamed, 'If you do not leave this restaurant and leave Harmony alone, we could press charges against you for sexual assult! Would you like that? Huh?'

Everyone in the restaurant was when then staring at Marty Jr, Harmony, and Needles and his gang.

Then a young teenage boy who was washing the tables stormed about Needles and his gang, and shouted, 'Yeah, you punks heard what Marty said. I'll give you 10 seconds to leave - otherwise, I'll have my boss personally drag you guys out!'

Needles and his gang realized that they needed to leave.

'Let's go,' Needles quietly said to his gang.

Then the boy turned to Marty, and asked, 'Hey, Marty, buddy, you mind if I sit here with you and Harmony?'

'Uh, sure, I guess not,' stammered Marty Jr, turning red.

'So who are you?' asked Harmony.

'Oh, my name is Larry,' the boy answered. 'I'm one of Marty's friends. Say, Marty, what brings you over here? I thought you and The Pinheads going to the auditions this afternoon, after school?'

The Pinheads? Harmony gasped, in horror. They're all mistaking Marty for his dad! I guess Marty and his dad look exactly alike. Oh, brother, I didn't even think of that.

'Uh, well,' mumbled Marty Jr, 'we sort of changed our minds, when my cousin came over to visit. I, uh, wasn't expecting to see her, today.'

'Well, okay, buddy!' replied Larry. 'I wish I could chat with you guys longer, but I have to get back to work.'

'Yeah, it was nice meeting you, Larry,' said Harmony.

'Yeah, Larry,' added Marty Jr, 'I guess I'll, uh, I'll see you again, soon.'

'Take care, buddy!' said Larry giving Martly a friendly back slap.

After Larry left, Harmony turned to Marty Jr, and whispered 'Do you believe what's going on here, Marty? Everybody here thinks you're your dad.'

'I've noticed,' muttered Marty Jr. 'What are we going to do?'

'Well,' sighed Harmony, 'when Larry mentions to your dad about what had happened here, he will be awfully confused. It's a good thing he at least knows about time travel.'

'I guess we have no choice to tell your grandpa about what happened,' muttered Marty Jr. 'I really would like to spend some time in this era, though.'

Then Jennifer walked into the restaurant. When she say Marty Jr with Harmony, her face flushed with anger - and she stormed over to the table.

'Martin Seamus McFly!' Jennifer hissed, angrily. 'What is the meaning of this? How can you do this to me? How long have you been cheating on me?'

'Uh, Jennifer,' Harmony cut in, 'I'm not dating Marty. I'm his cousin, Harmony McFly.'

'Oh, you lying little bitch!' seethed Jennifer. Then turning to Marty Jr, Jennifer added, 'You have told me about your cousins on several occassion, and you have never mentioned having a cousin named Harmony. How can you do this to me, Martin McFly?'

Jennifer slapped Harmony, then she turned to slapped Marty Jr. 'Go to hell, you cheating bastard!' Jennifer hissed.

'I can't believe it, Harmony,' Marty Jr gasped, stunned. 'My mom just slapped me! My very own mother has just slapped me!'

'She's not your mother, yet,' Harmony said, softly. 'She thought you were your dad, her boyfriend - and that you were cheating on her.'

'This is heavy,' mumbled Marty Jr.

'Great Scott!' gasped Harmony, as a terrible thought finally crossed her mind. 'If Jennifer stays mad at your father, and never forgives him - then she will never marry your father - and if she never marries your father, then...'

'... I will never be born,' Marty Jr finished, quitely.

'Yeah, and then we'll have a terrible paradox on our hands,' groaned Harmony. 'You might be erased from existence. Okay, we're going to find Grandpa - and tell him everything that happened. We have no other choice.'

'Perfect, just perfect,' muttered Marty Jr.

oooooooooo

Marty had just skated home from band auditions with his band, The Pinheads. He was in a very cheerful mood. There was huge hope that one day, Marty McFly and The Pinheads would be discovered.

'Hi, Mom! Hi, Dad! Hi, Dave! Hi, Linda!' called out, Marty.

'Oh, hello, sweetie,' called out Marty's mother, as she kissed her son. 'So I take it auditions went great, today?'

'Oh, yes, it was awesome!' breathed Marty, excitedly. 'The judges were all impressed. Say, I'm going to call Jennifer, now. I promised her that I would call, as soon as I returned.'

'Sure, go right ahead,' Marty mother replied, cheerfully.

As soon as Marty went to his room, he dialed Jennifer's phone number. Jennifer answered the phone after three rings.

'Uh, hello?' Jennifer asked.

'Yo, Jennifer!' replied Marty. 'It's me, Marty! How are you?'

'Oh, I don't believe it!' Jennifer seethed. 'You sure have got a lot of nerve, don't you?'

'What the hell are you talking about?' asked Marty, confused.

'You know damn well what I'm talking about, Martin McFly!' Jennifer fumed. 'Do not tell me that the girl you were eating out with at McDonald's an hour ago is your cousin! You've told me about your cousins several times before - and you've never mentioned Harmony!'

'Uh, Harmony?' asked Marty, confused. 'Look, Jennifer, I don't what the hell is going on here - but that was not me at McDonald's. I didn't even go to McDonald's today! I just returned from auditions. You can even call Zach and ask him, if you don't believe me!'

'Look, Martin, I'm not blind,' seethed Jennifer. 'I clearly saw you at McDonald's with Harmony!'

'But I was not at McDonald's,' protested Marty, 'and I don't even know of anyone named Harmony. Maybe you just saw someone there who looked like me!'

'Yeah, like who?' sneered Jennifer. 'Michael J Fox? I hardly think so! The girl that you were clearly with claimed to be Harmony McFly, your cousin.'

'But, Jennifer,' protested Marty.

'Good bye, Martin!' Jennifer said, in a chilly voice, as she hung up.

Marty was stunned, as he hung up the phone. 'What the hell is going on here?' demanded Marty, of the empty room.

Then Marty flopped down on his bed, buried his face into his pillow, and began to cry.
