After the skate party at the roller rink was over, Jennifer drove Marty Jr and Harmony over to the park where the picnic was being held.

'Thank you so much for everything, Jenn!' gushed Harmony. 'this has been so much fun!'

'Oh, you're very welcome,' said Jennifer.

'I wish dad could have joined us for the festivities,' Marty Jr remarked.

'Well, it was awfully generous of him to let you take his place,' replied Harmony.

'Yeah, I will be so eternally grateful to him for this,' replied Marty Jr.

As soon as Jennifer pulled up into the parking lot - Billy, Joey, and Zach from The Pinheads had met them at the door.

'How good to see you, Marty!' Billy said, to Marty. 'Who's the blonde?'

'Oh, hi, I'm Harmony McFly,' replied Harmony. 'I'm Marty's cousin. I'm visiting for a week. So I gather you're The Pinheads?'

'That's right,' Zach said, with a smile. 'Of course, your cousin is the lead singer and manager of our band.'

'So, Marty,' asked Billy, 'should we have band practice tonight?'

'Uh, well,' stammered Marty Jr, 'I've kinda had some plans for tonight - and I was hoping to spend some time with my cousin.'

'You have such a beautiful cousin,' Billy commented. 'Where does she come from?'

'I, uh, I came here from San Francisco,' stammered Harmony.

'Is it nice living in San Francisco?' asked Billy.

'Yeah, uh, sure, I guess so,' stammered Harmony. 'It's a pretty big city, though.'

oooooooooo

'Okay, Marty, let's see if this works,' Doc said, as had put the finishing touching onto a device that would allow telepathic communication.

'Uh, Doc, are you sure it's safe?' Marty asked, with some uncertainty.

'It's safe,' replied Doc. 'I've just tried it with Einstein. Of course, being that he's a dog, his mind only works visually.'

'Okay, well, you're the doc, Doc,' replied Marty.

Doc then put a cap on his head, then put another one on Marty. Doc then flipped a switch.

Are you reading me, Marty? Doc asked, mentally.

Are you talking to me, Doc? Marty replied.

Repeat what I say next aloud, okay?

Got it, Doc!

Serloin steak with mushrooms and gravy.

'Serloin steak with mushrooms and gravy?' Marty asked, aloud.

'Yes! Yes!' exclaimed Doc, as he was skipping around. 'It works! It actually works! Okay, let's take off our caps, now.'

Marty and Doc both took off their caps.

Can you still read me, Marty?

Yeah, Doc, how does this thing work?

Okay, try repeating what I say next.

Got it, Doc!

Bacon double-cheeseburgers with pickles and mayo.

'Uh, bacon double-cheeseburgers with pickles and mayo?' asked Marty.

'Yeap!' exclaimed Doc. 'This thing is still working.'

'So how do we turn this off, then?' asked Marty.

'Let's put the caps back on,' said Doc.

Marty and Doc both put the caps back on, and Doc flipped the switch, again.

Hey, Doc, are you reading me? Marty thought. Doc? Doc? Are we still connected?

'I guess not,' replied Marty, after he received no answer.

'You guess not what,' asked Doc.

'Oh, I was trying to send you a message, to see if we were still connected,' explained Marty.

'It was awfully generous of you to spend the day with me, instead of attending those events,' remarked Doc.

'Awww, it's no problem, Doc,' replied Marty, shrugging. 'I just thought that my son and Harmony should have some fun - and, besides, I always like spending time with you. After nearly losing you a few times, I have come to really value our friendship.'

Marty and Doc then embraced.

oooooooooo

'Hey, hey, Jennifer!' called out Marty Jr. 'Have you seen Harmony around?'

'Uh, no, I haven't,' replied Jennifer. 'She might just be interacting with some of the others. I see no harm in her doing that, really.'

'It's really tough being around Joey and Zach,' Marty Jr said, with a sigh. 'They think I am my dad, so they kept bugging me about when The Pinheads should get together next. I didn't think it was right to make plans for my dad, without consulting him. Know what I mean?'

'Say, I'm just wondering something. Do you play guitar, too?' asked Jennifer.

'Oh, you bet!' replied Marty Jr. 'In fact, Zach's son, Aaron, is in my band. We're trying to do our part to bring about the revival of rock and roll - as opposed to this rap crap that our generation is expected to like.'

oooooooooo

Billy and Harmony were sitting together near the lake, chatting and holding hands..

'Isn't this such a lovely day, out?' asked Harmony, putting her arm around Billy's shoulders.

'Yeah, it is,' said Billy, as he put his hands around Harmony's waist.

'I can see why you're such good friends with Marty,' gushed Harmony, running her index finger across Billy's facial features.. 'You are so sweet and sexy.'

'Thank you, Harmony,' replied Billy, holding Harmony's head in his hands. 'You may not look much like your cousin, but you sure do take after his personality a lot. I bet you're real popular where you came from. I bet all of the guys really like you.'

'Well, I, uh...' stammered Harmony, blushing.

'Of course you are,' replied Billy, huskily. 'It'd be hard to not love a girl like you. You're so sweet, pretty, and sexy.'

Billy leaned over to kiss Harmony. As Billy and Harmony were starting to kiss, though...

'Hey!' shouted Marty Jr. Marty Jr was accompanied by Jennifer. The shout had startled Billy and Harmony, causing them to jump.

'Oh, uh, Marty, we were...' Billy stammered.

'Look, now, Harmony and I are heading home,' replied Marty Jr, with some annoyance. 'C'mon, Harmony, it's time to go, now.'

'Look, Marty, I, uh..' stammered Billy.

'We'll talk later, Billy,' called out Marty Jr. 'We'll talk later.

'Nice getting to know you, Billy,' called out Harmony.

'Bye, Harmony! Bye, Marty!' called out Billy. 'Take care of yourselves.'

oooooooooo

As soon as Billy had watched Harmony drive away with Marty and Jennifer, some thought were running through his head. Was Marty angry with him for dating his cousin? Billy didn't mean to hurt his friend, but it seemed like Marty was pissed off with him - for some reason or another. He didn't see anything wrong with dating his close friend's cousin. I'll have to call Marty up tonight, Billy thought. I hope he's not mad at me that he would break up our friendship.
