Land of Colour Universe
Linda McFly was feeling stunned, as she found herself lying on a carpeted ground. She couldn't figure out how she got here. She was in her bedroom, sulking over Marty being friendly with her boyfriend. Then, suddenly, this colourful stone she found began to glow brightly - then, the next thing she knew, she was no longer in her bedroom on her bed. Perhaps this was all a dream. This was the most logical explanation for this.
"Hey, uh, hello," stammered a girl who was lying next to Linda. "Who are you? Where am I? Maybe you can tell me how I got here? I was in my bedroom trying to take a rest, then I ended up here! Maybe it has to do with this stone that I found."
"That's exactly what happened with me!" exclaimed Linda. "My name is Linda McFly. I was so angry with my brother. I can't believe that my brother could be so insensitive to me! Kevin is my boyfriend. I don't like my brother being buddies with him."
"Yeah, brothers!" the brunette said, rolling her eyes. "Believe me, Linda, I can tell you all about annoying and insensitive brothers! My own brother is down on me because I want to take up wrestling. He won't admit it, but he thinks wrestling is a man's sport - and he doesn't want me to take up wrestling. Anyway, my name is Mallory Keaton. It's a great pleasure to meet you, Linda."
"Your name's Mallory Keaton?" Linda asked, stunned. There was something about the name that seemed familiar to her. "Well, let's try to get acquainted with this place."
"Yeah, that's a good idea," suggested Mallory. "By the way, did you say your name's Linda McFly? You know, your name sounds familiar to me. Have we met before?"
"Your name sounds familiar to me, too," Linda said, nodding. "I'm not sure if we ever did meet, though. So where did you come from? I live in Hill Valley, California."
"Oh, I've never been to California," replied Mallory. "I live in a suburb in Columbus, Ohio. I have an older brother named Alex, and a younger sister named Jennifer. We also have a baby in our family, named Andrew. You said you have a brother, right?"
"Actually, I have two brothers," replied Linda. "I have an older brother named Dave, and a younger brother named Marty. I guess, deep down inside, I love my brothers. Sometimes I can't stand Marty, though. Sometimes he acts like he's hot - because he looks like this famous actor, Michael J Fox. He's the one who insists on being buddies with my boyfriend, Kevin. Why can't he understand how I feel?"
"I have the same problem with Alex," Mallory said, nodding. "He also looks a lot like the actor, Michael J Fox - who, by the way, I think is overrated. Granted, he can be very supportive and caring at times - and I do love him. Other times, though, he can be so down on my choice of interests. He can be rather arrogant at times."
"Well, enough about annoying brothers," Linda said, sighing. "Let's look around, and see if we can make sense of what's going on here. Not that any of this is making a whole lotta sense to me. Hey, Mallory, pinch me! I wonder if this is some dream!"
"I almost think this is a dream!" Mallory agreed. "I mean, it sure doesn't make sense to me that a stone could form some portal that leads into another dimension."
"Well, my father writes science fiction stories," explained Linda, "and he claims that an alien named Darth Vadar came to visit him from a planet called Vulcan - and that the alien threatened to melt his brain, if he didn't ask my mother to the Fish Under The Sea Dance. I can't say I ever believed that, though. There's science fiction - and then there is reality, you know. I think Dad sometimes gets the two confused."
"Actually," Mallory said, quietly, "the idea of a stone creating a portal to another world is more fantasy than science fiction. I guess, for some reason, we're both dreaming. Well, at least this seems to be a pleasant dream that we're having."
Just then, a short teenage girl with pink skin and yellow hair walked towards them.
"Where did you girls come from?" the pink girl asked. "Why don't you come join in on the fun? The dance will be starting shortly, and we have lots of refreshments."
"Uh, well," Linda stammered, "it's nice of you to offer, but I don't have any money."
"Oh, that's all right," the pink girl said, smiling. "By the way, my name's Rose. I don't believe I've ever seen you girls around before. You girls must be new around here."
"Yeah, I guess you can say that," replied Mallory. "Anyway, it's so nice to meet you, Rose. My name's Mallory Keaton - and this is Linda McFly. Thanks for inviting us!"
"Yeah, thank you so much, Rose," added Linda, smiling. "It's so nice to meet you, as well. Do you think you could maybe show us around, after the dance? We would like to explore this place a little more, you know. This seems like a very nice place."
"Oh, sure!" replied Rose. "That won't be a problem at all. In fact, I'm pretty sure my folks won't mind if you spend the night with us. Let's head over to the dance room!"
Linda glanced from Rose to Mallory, and back to Rose. She and Mallory then followed Rose to the dance floor. As soon as they had entered the dance floor, Linda was so astonished by what she saw. She did see people there of the usual races. She saw a bunch of people there that were different colours of the rainbow, too. It was almost as if she had stepped into the set of Sesame Street. She saw a few colourful furry muppets lingering around, as well. Linda began to decide that this must be a dream.
"Are you girls feeling all right?" Rose asked, concerned. "What are you gawking at?"
"Oh, uh, I'm sorry," stammered Linda. "I was just looking at the beautiful Christmas decorations that you have in here. I really think the lights are so beautiful!"
"Oh, that's perfectly all right," Rose said, with a warm smile. "I was just worried that something was out of place here. Just help yourselves to some juice and snacks. We have plenty of them go around. Later on, we'll be having pizza. Do you like pizza?"
"Oh, absolutely!" gushed Mallory. "Is there going to be any veggie pizza? I'm not too much for sausage or pepperoni. I also don't care for just plain cheese. It's boring!"
"Yeah, I like veggie pizza, too," agreed Linda. "Of course, if it's not available, then I'll just make do with what we have. Hey, this is pretty nice music you have in here!"
"Aw, yeah, this should get you into the Christmas spirit!" gushed Rose. "Yeah, we'll have all kinds of pizza here, so there should be something for everyone. Then, after the pizza, we'll have ice cream. We'll have ice cream of all different flavours.'
"Oh, that sounds awesome!" gushed Linda. "Well, thanks again for inviting us. It looks like we'll be having so much fun tonight. Everything around here is lovely!"
"Hey, that's not a problem at all!" Rose said, smiling. "The more the merrier."
