'Wow! Two Martys?' exclaimed Clara, as Doc and the group walked into the kitchen.
'This one is Marty Junior,' Doc explained, pointing to the one wearing the grey tee-shirt. 'For now, we'll just refer to them as Marty One and Marty Two. I have to fix the Mr. Fusion generator on their time machine.'
'Who's the blonde?' asked Clara.
'Oh, that's Harmony,' replied Doc. 'She's our future granddaughter. She's Jules' future daughter.'
'Oh, goodness,' gasped Clara. 'Say, she didn't tell you who her mother was, did she?'
'Oh, no! She was real mindful of that,' explained Doc.
'Oh, good,' breathed Clara, in relief. 'I mean, Jules is only seven years old - so he doesn't need the pressure to marry someone, just to prevent Harmony from erasing from existence.'
'So, Grandma,' asked Harmony, 'is it really true that you grew up in the 1800s - and that you fell in lover with Grandpa, after he saved you from falling into the ravine?'
'Yes, yes, that is true!' stammered Clara. 'I guess I would have died in the ravine, if Doc didn't come back in time to save me. Anyway, Jules and Verne should be arriving home soon - so we shouldn't be letting the boys know who you are - especially you, Harmony.'
'Yeah, I'll keep that in mind,' replied Harmony.
'So, kids, I really don't feel like cooking tonight,' Clara said. 'How would you kids feel about having pizza?'
'That would be awesome!' the Martys, Harmony, and Jennifer exclaimed in unison. Then all four of them started laughing.
Then Marty Two asked, 'Pizza Hut?'
'Sure, that's exactly what I was thinking,' replied Clara. 'What would you kids like on your pizza.'
'I would just like plain double cheese on mine,' said Marty One.
Marty Two, Harmony, and Jennifer nodded their heads in agreement.
'You kids,' said Doc, shaking his head. 'You call that a pizza?'
'Yes!' replied the four teens, simultaneously.
'Look, I just don't care for the other toppings that much,' Marty One said, rather defensively.
'Yeah, really!' Marty Two, Harmony, and Jennifer replied, in unison.
'Oh, alright, whatever you kids say,' said Doc, sighing.
Then Marty One turned to the other three teens, and asked, 'How would you guys like to play Nintendo?'
'Sounds awesome!' Marty Two and Harmony replied, simultaneously.
'Is Nintendo still popular in the future?' asked Jennifer, as the teens turned to head towards the living room.
'Somewhat, yeah,' said Harmony. 'Unfortunately, a great many other of our peers frown on old school video games. They claim that, if you have to use your hands, than it's a baby's toy.'
'Oh, I remember that!' gasped Marty One.
Harmony then turned to Marty One, confused, and asked, 'Uh, you do?'
'Ooops!' gasped Marty One, turning red. 'Well, I suppose I can tell you. I did visit 2015 once. It was October 21 of 2015.'
'You're kidding!' gasped Harmony and Marty Two, simultaneously.
'Actually, no, I'm not,' Marty One said, quietly. 'When Doc had taken Jennifer and me to 2015, the future was much different from the one that you came from.'
'Oh, in what way?' asked Marty Two, confused.
'Well, in that future,' Marty One explained, 'I had let Needles provoke me into racing him in my truck. I wound up hitting a Rolls Royce and breaking my hand. The Rolls Royce driver sued me, and I gave up on my music. Jennifer saw more of what happened in our house than I did, but she told me that things weren't pretty. She told me that I had let Needles illegally scan my card, and I wound up getting fired. I'm so glad that I finally learned to not let Needles provoke me into doing dangerous things.'
'Oh, wow, that sounds awful!' gasped Harmony. 'Say, I am a little confused about one thing. If you were in the future, then how could your older self also be in the future? What if you had, like, decided to stay in 2015?'
'Well, I believe it's the whole ripple effect thing,' explained Marty One. 'Had I stayed in 2015 for over 24 hours, then my older self would cease to exist, and reality would be change.'
'Oh, I see,' said Harmony. 'That is, uh, rather interesting.'
'So, what was I like in that timeline?' asked Marty Two.
'Hmm, well, how do I say this?' muttered Marty One. 'To be honest, you kind of were a wimp in that timeline. When Doc first went to 2015, he discovered that you had let Griff and his gang talk you into a robbery - and you wound up getting put in jail for 15 years. Then after Doc brought Jennifer and me into the future, Doc had me pose as you, to stand up to Griff - and prevent the robbery from happening. I wound up running away from Griff and his gang on a hoverboard - and Griff and his gang crashed into the Courthouse Mall, and they ended up getting arrested, instead.'
'Woah, this is heavy!' gasped Marty Two. 'So was a really that big of a wimp that let Griff and his gang push me around?'
'Uh, yeah, you were,' Marty One said, quietly, 'but that was probably my fault, for not teaching you how to stand up for yourself. I'm so glad that that future did not come to pass. I'm happy for you guys, as well as for me and Jennifer.'
'Yeah, me, too,' replied Marty Two. 'I never was the kind of person to let Griff push me around.'
'Oh, good for you,' said Marty One, smiling. 'I guess my older self must have brought you up right.'
'Right,' replied Marty Two, smiling.
'So what about me?' asked Harmony. 'What happened to me in that timeline?'
'I believe that, in that timeline, you didn't even exist,' replied Marty One. 'That was before the whole chain of time travel events took place, resulting in your grandfather travelling to 1885 - and meeting Clara.'
'Oh, wow, this is heavy!' breathed Harmony. 'I don't think Grandpa wants me telling you too much about your future, but let's just say that your future is much brighter.'
'Did The Pinheads and I get discovered?' Marty One couldn't resist asking.
'I really don't think I should answer that,' replied Harmony. 'I mean, I should respect Grandpa's wishes.'
'Oh, alright,' sighed Marty One. 'I guess you're right. I guess I'll find out in the natural course of time.'
'Exactly!' replied Marty Two and Harmony, simultaneously.
Then Doc poked his head into the door and said, 'Hey, kids! The pizzas are here, now!'
