Harmony was sitting on the bannister in front of Hill Valley High School, waiting for school to end, so that she and Marty can head over to Billy's house. The bell then rang.

I hope Marty didn't get detention, today, thought Harmony. Marty's son of the future also had a tendancy to be habitually late for school. Like father, like son, thought Harmony.

After about five minutes, Marty finally came running out of school.

'Hey, Marty! Marty!' Harmony called out, stepping down from the bannister. 'I'm over here!'

'Oh, Harmony!' gasped Marty. 'There you are! I gather you're ready to go, now?'

'Yeah, I guess,' said Harmony, shrugging. 'The sooner we get it done and over with, the better.'

After about 15 minutes, Marty and Harmony have finally reached Billy's house. Billy's mother answered the door.

'Oh, hello, Marty!' the mother greeted him, cheerfully. 'Who's the blonde?'

'Oh, that's my cousin, Harmony,'explained Marty. 'We were hoping Billy would be home right now.'

'Well, he should be home in a few minutes,' explained Billy's mother. 'Billy had a dentist appointment this afternoon.'

'Oh, that's fun,' Marty said, laughing.

'Yeah, right,' put in Harmony, chuckling.

'Why don't you kids take a seat?' invited Billy's mother. 'Would you kids like a Pepsi?'

'Yes, please!' replied Marty and Harmony, simultaneously.

Billy's mother walked over to the refridgerator, then returned with two cans of Pepsis - handing them to Marty and Harmony.

'Thank you!' replied Marty and Harmony, in unison.

'You're welcome, kids,' replied Billy's mother, chuckling. Then, turning to Harmony, she asked, 'Have, Harmony, have you ever thought of singing harmony with Marty in The Pinheads?'

Marty and Harmony burst out laughing.

'Actually, we rarely do any harmony singing in our band,' chuckled Marty. 'I mean, we perform hard rock, so we're not exactly a harmonious band - if you know what I mean. I mean, as bandmates and friends, we sure live in harmony - but, as musicians, no, we're not in harmony.'

Just then, Billy came running in through the front door - with his father behind him.

'We're home, Mom!' called out Billy. Then as Billy walked into the living room, he said, 'Well, hello, Marty! Oh, Harmony, it's a pleasure to see you here.'

'Actually, Billy,' Marty said, slowly, 'we came here, because we need to talk to you about something.'

'Oh, really?' asked Billy. 'Well, so do I.'

'Well, why don't you go first then?' suggested Marty.

'Okay, sure, I will,' replied Billy. Then grabbing Harmony's hands, Billy said, 'Look, Harmony, I've been thinking about this all week. You are a very pretty and nice girl, and I will always treasure the good times that we've had this week. However, I've been thinking about what your cousin said, and I'm thinking that he may be right. It would be hard for us to maintain a long-distance relationship. So it's probably better, for your sake and mine, to just say good bye and part ways.'

Harmony looked at Billy, stunned, and blinking back tears. She was torn between being relieved that Billy had initiated the break-up himself - and feeling a little hurt that he wanted to break up with her. Breaking up is never easy, Harmony thought, sighing, no matter how amicable it is.

'I understand, Billy,' Harmony said, softly. 'I was, in fact, about to say the same to you. It will be sad to leave you, but it's best to move on. You've even taught me some words of wisdom this week.'

Billy and Harmony then hugged each other, for one last time.

'Good bye, Billy,' whispered Harmony, blinking back tears.

'Good bye, Harmony,' Billy said, softly, also blinking back tears.

'Well, I suppose Harmony and I should get going, now,' piped up Marty. 'We can practice tomorrow at three. How does that sound?'

'That sounds great, Marty,' Billy replied. 'Now, good bye, Marty! Good bye, Harmony!'

'Good bye, Billy!' Marty and Harmony replied, simultaneously.

Harmony blew Billy a kiss. Billy blew one back.

'I never thought breaking up could be so hard,' Harmony said, softly. 'At least he beat me to the punch.'

'I understand, Harmony,' Marty said, sympathetically, placing a hand on Harmony's shoulder. 'Nobody ever said that life was easy - but life can sure be one big adventure.'

'Yeah, Marty, you're right,' said Harmony, sighing.

oooooooooo

'Alright, Marty Two and Harmony,' Doc was explaining, as he was pointing to the time display panels in the DeLorean, 'this is the exact time you left. I'm gonna send you back at exactly the same time. It'll be like you never left.'

'Check,' replied Marty Two and Harmony, in unison.

'Well, are you kids all packed, now?' asked Doc.

'Yeah, Doc, we have everything,' explained Marty Two.

Then Marty One turned to embrace Marty Two, and said, 'Well, I guess I'll see you again, in 30 years.'

'Well, actually, 13 years,' replied Marty Two. 'I mean, that's when I'll be born.'

'Oh, right, of course,' stammered Marty One. Then blinking back tears, he said, 'I really will miss you, my son.'

'I'll miss you, too,' replied Marty Two. 'I mean, of course, I'll see you again, as Dad - but I'll miss seeing you as a teenager.'

'Am I really that much different in the future?' chuckled Marty Two.

'I guess not,' said Marty Two, with a sigh. 'It's just that we'll no longer be the same age - but I will also be happy to see you as Dad again.'

Then Marty Two hugged Jennifer, whispering, 'See you in the future, Mom.'

'Same to you, sweetie,' replied Jennifer smiling.

Then Harmony turned to embrace Marty One, and said, 'It was such a pleasure getting to see you as a teenager. Now I know where your son gets his personality from.'

'You mean you didn't before?' asked Marty, chuckling.

'Well, yeah, I guess I did,' stammered Harmony, 'but you know what I mean.'

Then Harmony turned to hug Jennifer.

'Good bye, Harmony,' whispered Jennifer. 'I can hardly wait to see you again, in the future.'

'Or in the past,' added Harmony, smiling.

Then Marty Two and Harmony stepped into the DeLorean, while Marty One, Jennifer, and Doc watched the DeLorean disappear into the future.

'Gee, Doc, now I know how you felt when you had to send me back home from 1955,' said Marty, blinking back tears. 'It was such a pleasure getting to know the kids, and now I will miss them.'

'Yes, I totally understand how you feel,' replied Doc, smiling, as he hugged Marty. One tear had slipped down Marty's cheek. Doc used his index finger to dab at Marty's tear.

As Doc stepped back into the house with Marty and Jennifer, they saw Jules and Verne watching them.

'Harmony, such a nice name,' remarked Jules.

Marty laughed, and said, 'Okay, I think you boys better head back to bed, now.'
