Land of Colour Universe
Marty felt dizzy, as he landed on the ground. He stretched his arms, and then he discovered he was lying in a grassy area of a countryside. It was a bright clear night, and it was fairly warm. Marty gazed a bit into the stars, as he sat up. He could also hear a chorus of crickets chirping. He took a deep breath, and blinked a few times.
How the hell did I get here? Marty thought, to himself. He remembered that he was admiring the colourful stone that he found - and then, some way or another, that stone must have formed some kind of portal that led into this strange world. Marty sighed a little, as he looked around a bit. Where is Doc, when you need him?
Ever since Dr. Emmett Brown, whom Marty affectionately called "Doc", revealed to him the DeLorean he converted into a time machine a little over a year ago - Marty has had many adventures through the fourth-dimension. In fact, it was a result of being sent back to 1885 that Doc met his wife, Clara - and they since had three children together. Jules and Verne were both born back in the Old West - while their youngest child, Haven, was born just a little over a month ago. In fact, much to their amazement, Haven was born exactly 31 years after the night of the famous Hill Valley lightning storm - which was a day of particular significance to Marty and Doc.
Then, as Marty stood up, he found himself staring at a young man who looked just like him. This wasn't exactly a new occurence to him, as Marty did meet quite a few people who looked like him - which included his future son, Marty Jr, and even other versions of himself from other dimensions. He wondered who this person could be.
"You look just like me!" Marty gasped, to his doppelganger. "What's your name - and where did you come from? I'm not even sure I got here. I was in my bedroom just a few minutes ago - and then, suddenly, poof! I find myself here in this countryside!"
"That is so funny!" replied the doppelganger, stunned. "You know, this is exactly what happened to me. I'm wondering if I must be dreaming. Anyway, I'm Alex Keaton."
"Alex Keaton?" Marty asked, stunned. "You mean, Alex P Keaton, the ambitious and hardworking young Republican It's so amazing to see you here! I'm Marty McFly!"
"Marty McFly?" Alex asked, stunned. "Say, forgive me if this sounds like a strange question, but have I met you before? Were you in our world a few months ago?"
"Yes!" Marty gasped, stunned. "That was me! I was the one who was trying to check out Roanoke Island - and, by accident, I landed in your universe. So how are you doing, buddy? You still have plans to work at Wall Street? How's little Andrew doing?"
"Oh, working at Wall Street is my dream!" gushed Alex. "Andy is certainly growing to be a fine strong boy. He's such an adorable young fella. You know, if I ever do end up getting a job at Wall Street, I really will miss Andy. I'll certainly miss Jennifer, too - and I'll even miss Mallory. We don't always get along, but I care deeply for her."
"Linda and I don't always get along, either," Marty said, nodding with understanding. "Can you believe that she got mad at me for being buddies with her boyfriend? Don't you think that's a little bit unreasonable. Would you mind if Mallory dated one of your buddies? I guess I don't understand what the big deal is. I still love Linda, though."
"Mostly, I would just be surprised if Mallory wanted to date one of my buddies," Alex replied. "I would much prefer that over her dating Nick Moore, you know. Some of Mallory's friends have had crushes on me, and Mallory never seemed to mind."
"Well, I know Skippy has always had a thing for Mallory," commented Marty. "Also, I know Skippy once had a crush on Mallory's friend, Jane - but Jane seemed to have a thing for you instead. In a way, Skippy reminds me of my father as a teen.'
"Yeah, your father was pretty shy around girls, wasn't he?" asked Alex. "Gee, this is so freaky, you know - that we've watched each other on TV. Say, in your universe, are they still filming new episodes of Family Ties? I must say it's a little bit creepy."
"Yeah, they are," Marty said, quietly. "However, for some reason or another, they did age your little brother by a few years - and the two of you are definitely real close."
"Why would they do that?" Alex asked, stunned. "I guess it is a common occurrence for that to happen in soap operas. Anyway, I guess I'm actually relieved - as the idea that my life is still being filmed on TV is rather creepy, to say the least."
"The very idea that they might film sequels for Back to the Future in your universe is creepy to me," replied Marty. "I actually discovered that Back to the Future was a trilogy in another universe. That might be the same case with your universe."
"Oh, really?" Alex sked, stunned. "Would it bother you - if I actually watched the sequels, after they came out?"
"No, that wouldn't bother me at all," Marty replied, with a nervous laugh. "Well, let's just try to put this out of our minds."
"Yeah, you're right," Alex said, sighing. "Let's see if we can find our way out of here. I know this sounds strange, but there might be a reason why we were sent here."
"I wonder what, though," Marty said, stunned. He then started to walk forward, as Alex followed him. "I see some houses down there, and I see some Christmas lights. So it must be Christmas in the world, too. It's pretty warm here, so I wonder where we might be. Even in Hill Valley, it's not quite this warm. Granted, Hill Valley is in the northern portion of California. I can't imagine that this world would be too bad."
"Ordinarily," Alex said, sighing, "I would say that Christmas isn't really Christmas without snow. However, considering that I'm not exactly dressed for cold weather, this is pretty nice. The question is, though - where on earth are we going to stay?"
"Yeah, I'm a bit worried, too," Marty said, quietly. "I mean, we can't exactly knock on the door of some stranger's home - and ask if we can stay with them." Just as Marty and Alex stepped onto the dirt road, Marty continued, "Look at all these Christmas lights! That's beautiful! I suppose we could walk around a bit, to look at the lights."
"Wow!" breathed Alex, with amazement. "It looks like every single house has lights up. Yeah, we could walk around and admire the decorations. Where are we going to eat and sleep, though? Anyway, we can't stay here forever! I would miss my friends and family. I won't be able to earn my college degree, and I won't be able to work at Wall Street. Besides, I'll bet that you and I don't even have any real identities here."
Just then, Marty and Alex gazed to their right, as they a short thin woman walking up towards them. Marty could swear that the woman had purple skin and yellow hair.
"Hello," the woman said, cheerfully. "Are your names Marty McFly and Alex Keaton?" Marty and Alex both gasped, as they were stunned. "My name's Victoria Greenwood. We were expecting the two of you to come here. Why don't you guys come inside?"
"Yeah, thanks, Mrs. Greenwood," Alex said, quietly. "Maybe you can explain to Marty and me what is going on here. Maybe you can tell us a little bit about this world."
"All in good time," replied the woman, "and please just call me Victoria. We have a lot of sugar cookies inside, and I could make you guys some hot cocoa, too. So just come inside and make yourselves feel comfortable."
