"Hey, Marty, are you hungry?" Harmony asked, smiling. "Let's go grab some dinner."
"Oh, boy," Marty replied, as he looked around, "it looks like they have plenty of pizza and breadsticks from Pizza Hut, as well as lots of Pepsi Perfect. What is Pepsi Perfect, by the way? I always wondered what that was, but I didn't want to ask Doc."
"It takes like regular pepsi," Harmony replied, "except that it's fortified with vitamins and minerals. I never really noticed any difference in tastes, but it's better for you."
"Does it have any sugar in it?" Marty asked. "I usually drink Diet Pepsi Free, which is free of both sugar and caffeine. It's much better for you than regular Pepsi."
"It has no sugar or caffeine in it," Harmony explained. "It has a different sweetener in it that the FDA has ruled to be safe, and it tastes like regular sugar. Let's go grab some slices of pizza. It looks like they have the kind with just cheese on it."
"Hey, Marty," called out a boy with brown hair, "are you enjoying the dance, buddy?"
"I certainly am," Marty said, smiling. "I'm just about to grab some pizza for myself. I really enjoy the music that they've been playing at the dance."
"Yeah, that stuff really rocks," the boy replied. "So, anyway, when do you think your band will be releasing your next album? You're even better than your father."
Marty was quite stunned by this other boy's remark. He knew it wasn't really meant to be an insult towards his own music, but how was he supposed to respond to that. Also, he had no idea who this boy was - except that he was a friend of Marty Jr.
"I think they both are very wonderful musicians, in different ways," Harmony quickly added. "I think our Marty is destined to follow in his father's footsteps. Even Emerald Green is really impressed with his style - so that must mean something."
Marty wondered who Emerald Green was. She was apparently some sort of famous singer. At least, Marty assumed it was a female - although, it could also be a band.
"Well, yeah, of course," Andy replied. "I just meant that, there really is hope for the future of rock and roll. I never understood what many of our peers see in rap or hip hop. I mean, that style doesn't even have a melody - so I just don't understand it."
"It would be nice to think that rock music will live on," Marty said, nervously. "It'll be hard to know what the music industry will be like, say, in a hundred years."
"It does scare me a bit," Andy commented. "I mean, the youth culture pretty much started with rock and roll. It really saddens me how popular rap has become. Even though, I'm not really one to judge other people by their taste in music."
"Hey, guys, what's up?" called out another boy. This one looked familiar to Marty. He was tall and had blond hair, just like Zach Nelson. Perhaps, he was Zach's son.
"It's nice to see you here, Aaron," Andy called out, cheerfully. "How are you enjoying the dance? The weather is pretty hot, though - so I'm glad that I'm not all dressed up in a tuxedo. This is such great pizza that's being served."
"So, Marty," Aaron asked, "should we get together tonight to practice our music?"
"Actually, Marty and I had some big plans for tonight," Harmony explained. "Maybe you guys could practice tomorrow, though. I have a lot of faith in you guys."
"Oh, yeah, the two of you are a couple, now," Aaron said, smiling. "I have suspected this for a long time, you know. The two of you have always been tight."
"Well, I guess I can't argue with you," Harmony said, smiling. "We can join you guys later this afternoon. For now, Marty and I wont to be alone. We're pretty hungry."
"Marty and Harmony sitting in a tree," Aaron and Andy were singing. "K-I-S-S-I-N-G! First comes love, then comes marriage... then comes Marty with a baby carriage."
"Oh, you guys are too much for me," Harmony said, rollling her eyes. To Marty, she added, "Let's sit by the trees over there. I really like Aaron and Andy, but they sure can be so immature at times. I mean, I just don't get what the big deal is."
"I'm really happy for you, Harmony," Marty replied, "but do you have any idea how this news affects me? Jennifer and I aren't even married, yet - nor do we have any children. It's strange to think of who my future son's romantic interest is."
"I guess this does come a real shock to you, doesn't it?" Harmony asked, laughing.
"Well, no, not really," Marty said, smiling. "I did kinda suspect that for awhile. It's so funny how time travel has changed my perspective of life. There was actually a time when the clock tower had no significance to me, and I really did not care if the clock was replaced or not. In fact, I thought that it should be replaced."
"In many ways, Marty," Harmony said, sighing, "you really are lucky. There were a few times when I was tempted to go back to November 12 of 1955, but I am afraid of disrupting history. I mean, that was really a big day for both you and Grandpa."
"It was a big day, in a literal sense," commented Marty. "I mean, Doc and I ended up going back in time to relive that day - when it was quite necessary to take that sports almanac from Biff. It was such a living nightmare to see that Biffhorrific Universe."
"Oh, yeah," Harmony replied, smiling. "So, I gather that it was even more stressful the second time around? After all, you also needed to avoid your younger self."
"It's quite hard to say," replied Marty. "The first time around, I had to make sure that my parents fell in love, so that I wouldn't be erased from existence. Even to this day, I have to say that my original stay in 1955 was rather stressful."
"I suppose we would be in trouble," Harmony suggested, "if we ended to travelling to some time before October 26 of 1985 - within the same year, that way."
"Well, Doc may know what's going on," Marty replied, "but I wouldn't. Anyway, yeah, it's really not a good idea. You must use caution, when travelling through time. Could we maybe call Doc now? You have something called a cellphone, right?"
"That's correct," Harmony replied. "They do not have cell-videophones, yet. I prefer to be able to see who I'm talking to, when I am on the telephone. Anyway, Grandpa said that he would call me, if he found anything out. I really don't want to bug him."
"I guess you have a point," Marty said, quietly. "Anyway, I guess my son is really in danger of being erased from existence, now - now that I'm stuck here in 2016."
"Well, Marty," Harmony said, as she stood up, "should we grab some more pizza?"
"Oh, yeah," Marty said, smiling. "This is really good pizza, I must say."
oooooooooo
"And the winner for the Most Romantic Couple goes to..." Terry was announcing. He took a dramatic pause, before he finished, "... Marty McFly Jr and Harmony Brown!"
Marty and Harmony cheered and high-fived each other, as they stepped up to the podium to accept the award. Everything seemed so surreal to Marty.
"Thank you so much, everybody!" Marty said, nervously - as there was a big burst of applause. "It feels like such a huge honour that so many of you actually feel this way about Harmony and myself. I hope the two of us do marry someday."
"We've been best friends our whole lives," Harmony added. "It was only recent that we finally expressed our romantic feelings for each other. It feels so awesome!"
"I think this is only so fitting," Terry continued, with a smile, "that the two of you seal this event with a kiss. Let's show everyone how much you two love each other."
Marty took a deep breath, as he leaned over to kiss Harmony. He felt really relieved to know that there were no sparks in that kiss. He no longer felt like he was cheating on Jennifer. He was happt for his future son and Harmony, though.
