"Gee, I can't believe that I actually did it," Marty Jr said, grimacing. "It's suppose it's nice that we won the award, but they actually expected us to kiss each other. I have kissed you before, of course - but it was in the parent and child kind of way."
"It didn't feel right to me, either," Jennifer replied. "You might look like your father, but kissing you didn't quite feel the same. Well, I guess this award is good news for your father and me. It truly does seem as though we are destined towards a happy future. I just hope that the two of us didn't seem too romantic at the dance."
"I see what you mean," Marty Jr replied. "I wonder if my father won an award with Harmony, as well. It's only very recent that I began to feel that way about her."
"Anyway, Marty, what do you want to do?" Jennifer asked. "Should we head over to Francesca's Italian Diner? I could pay for both os us, if you'd like."
"Yeah, I guess so," Marty Jr replied. "I could go for some stuffed shells right now."
"I know this will seem so strange eating out like this," Jennifer added, "but we don't want to bug Doc right now. I just called a little while ago, and Clara said that he was still working on fixing the time circuits. That way, we can talk in private a little."
"I'm worried about the advice that I gave to Zach," Marty Jr said, sighing. "I know for a fact that he is destined to marry someone other than Zoe - because I'm such good friends with his son, Aaron. He even plays the bass guitar in our band."
"I probably shouldn't be asking this," Jennifer said, sighing, "but what happened with Zach and Zoe. I remember that Zoe was sick, but did the two of them have a fight?"
"No, not really," Marty Jr replied. "Zach still wishes to be friends with Zoe - but he no longer feels the same spark with her, as he once did. Anyway, he is afraid to tell her how he feels - because he really doesn't want to hurt her feelings. I pretty much told him that I think it would be better for the both of them to just be honest with her."
"Well, it sounds like good advice to me," Jennifer said, smiling. "Maybe he's worried that she'll get mad at him, and not want to talk to him anymore. There is no reason why the two of them have to suddenly become enemies, though."
"That, unfortunately, does often seem to be the case," Marty Jr commented. "There is no way to tell someone that want to break up, without causing hurt feelings."
"You know, I want to tell Zoe about this right now," Jennifer explained, "but I know it isn't really any of my business. I do want to be there to support her, though. I know this is going to be really hard for her to take. Still, you did give Zach good advice."
"Yeah, I guess so," Marty Jr replied. "I'm concerned, though, that Zach might yell at my dad - if Zoe responds to him by blowing up at him and losing her cool."
"I am sorry that you ended up being dragged into this," Jennifer said, softly. "I know we couldn't exactly tell him that you're his friend's son who travelled back in time."
"Well, we're at the restaurant, now," Marty Jr said, with a small smile. "I suppose we should just try to relax for a little while, as we have some stuffed shells for dinner."
oooooooooo
"Our family actually lives on Lyons Estate?" Jennifer asked, as she and Marty Jr were walking towards the McFly's home. "Then where do Marty's parents live? They're both still alive, aren't they? I hope nothing bad happened to them. After all, they were still alive, the first time that we went to 2015. I still remember that event so well."
"They moved to a place where there's subsidized housing," Marty Jr explained. "It is kind of a long story, but they decided to give their old home over to you and Dad."
"Yeah, I guess you shouldn't tell me any more," Jennifer replied. "I'm sure it's better than living in Hilldale, anyway. However, I need to know one thing. Your father and I didn't get married at the Chapel o' Love, did we? I'm really hoping that we didn't."
"No, you didn't," Marty Jr said, smiling. "You had a nice wedding, and you even have the photographs to prove it. You and Dad and destines towards a wonderful future."
"That is nice to hear," Jennifer replied. "Why don't I give you a nice hug? Doc should have the DeLorean fixed up by tomorrow. Anyway, try to have a good rest tonight."
"I just remembered!" Marty Jr gasped. "I forgot to pick up the items for Doc. I guess I can do that tomorrow morning. Anyway, I'm so happy that we did win an award for 'Most Romantic Couple'. This is very good news for you and Dad, if I might say so."
"It's more meaningful than the 'Best Dressed Couple' award," Jennifer said. "I really can't believe how vain I was being earlier. Anyway, I'll give you a call tomorrow."
"Take care, Mom," Marty Jr commented, as he hugged Jennifer. He was feeling very nervous, as he stepped into the house. Things looked really different. He was rather thrilled to see his grandparents at a much younger age. It was a nice experience.
"Hello, honey," Lorraine gushed, as she threw her arms around Marty Jr. "How was your dance with Jennifer? I heard all about how you made Miff crash into manure."
"In a few ways, you remind me of Calvin Klein," George added. "Miff shouldn't have been hitting on your girlfriend like that. I think you got him where it really hurts."
"I hate to scare you, sweetie," Lorraine added, "but Miff might try to get his revenge on you. That's what happened with Calvin Klein. We were parked in the car together - and, after I realized there weren't any sparks between Calvin and I, Biff came into our car and began to threaten Calvin. I will never forget that night, you know."
"Don't worry, Grandma... I mean, Mom," Marty Jr replied. "I'll be prepared to handle Miff, if necessary. I might be short, but I do have a lot of experience for dealing with bullies. One of these days, the Tannens will finally learn to not mess with us McFlys."
"I'm just looking out for you, honey," Lorraine replied. "You might be legally an adult now, but you will always be my kid. I really don't you to end up being hurt by Miff."
"I think he'll be fine, honey," George told his wife. "After all, if I hadn't punched Biff out on that fateful night back in 1955, Biff would most likely still be bullying me even to this day. I actually had a few dreams, where my life turned out to be different."
"You do have a point, George," Lorraine said, smiling. "I'm so happy that we brought our children up to be strong and confident people. I am sure that our children will be passing those traits onto their own kids, too. It looks like Calvin did make such a big difference in your life. You know, our Marty kind of reminds me a little of Calvin."
"Yeah, he does," George replied. "He even looks a little bit like Calvin, too. We might be distantly related to the Kleins, for all we know. Several days after Calvin suddenly disappeared, I was looking through some old photographs - and I was really amazed by just how much Calvin resembled my Grandpa William. It's amazing."
"Well, uh, Mom and Dad," Marty Jr said, "I'm going to head to my room for awhile."
"Sure, honey," Lorraine said, as she hugged Marty Jr and kissed the top of his head.
After Marty Jr stepped into what would one day be his bedroom, he was shocked by just how familiar the bedroom looked. Many of the items looked very old-fashioned, but he was shocked by how much he had taken after his father.
