"All right, kids," Jennifer was saying, as she started up the car, "we are going to pick Mike and Alex up from your grandparents' house first, and then we can head over to Wal-Mart to do some shopping and have some subs. How does that sound?"
Little Marty and Marlene both cheered, excitedly. Calvin was feeling pretty nervous, as he wondered who Mike and Alex were. Maybe he could even get a chance to see his future wife. He loved the idea of thinking that he, too, could have a family.
"Mommy, can we listen to Led Zeppelin?" Little Marty asked, sweetly. "Did you bring the second album with you? I love the song What Is and What Should Never Be. It's such a nice upbeat song, and I really love the chorus. It's a fun song to dance to!"
"You have great taste in music," Calvin commented, admiringly. "I prefer the song Whole Lotta Love, but I like just about everything Led Zeppelin has ever recorded. They were a very influential band from the 1970s, and it was really sad when John Bonham died. He was an even better drummer than Keith Moon was."
"Why don't you just wait until we pick up your cousins?" suggested Jennifer. "They had a dentist appointment this afternoon, which is something Mike and Alex rather dread having to go to. We'll head to the park afterwards, and you can play there."
Calvin heart skipped a beat at the mention of "cousins". Granted, they could also be Dave's or Linda's children - but there was also that great possibility that they can be his children. Calvin then began to stroke Marlene's hair, as he thought of how pretty that little girl was. It was so strange that she had her father's face, though.
"Uncle Calvin," Marlene said, sweetly, "did you ever wish that you could have grown up with Daddy? He told me that the two of you did not always live together, and you two didn't meet until you were seventeen. What were your adoptive parents like?"
Calvin was uncertain of how to respond. He was very sure that his older self would never have told the kids about the time machine, or that he actually came from an alternate reality - an alternate reality where Biff Tannen ruled the whole world.
"I heard that your adoptive father was so mean to you," Little Marty added. "I heard how he would beat you up, and then lock you in the closet. He would then make you go without food for a long time, right? He sounds like he was one very bad man."
"Well, I'd much rather just leave that all behind me, now," Calvin replied, as he did not wish to be reminded of his old life at the clutches of Biff. "It's better to focus on the now, and to move forward with our lives. It's not a real good idea to dwell over all the bad things that happened to us in the past. It's better to think positively."
oooooooooo
Calvin was shocked, as Jennifer pulled up to a house on Maple Drive. He figured that his parents would always be living in that house on Lyons Estate. Being that he spent most of his life in boarding schools, he have come to grow fond of that house.
"All right," called out Jennifer, "you kids just wait here in the car. Your Uncle Calvin and I will come into the house to grab Mike and Alex. We should be back shortly."
Calvin felt nervous, as he stepped out of the car. As he and Jennifer approached the house, he noticed how the house had no doorknob. In its place was that thumb plate with a red light indicator and a green light indicator. Next to it was a doorbell.
"Hello, Jennifer and Calvin," said a familiar-looking grey-haired lady, as she opened the door. "I sure wasn't expecting to see you, Calvin. Well, the kids have been very well-behaved - and check-ups went great. The kids are getting a little restless..."
"Daddy! Daddy!" called out one of the little boys, as they ran up to Calvin. "We sure missed you! How has your day at work been? We want to have subs! I just want the foot-long sub, not just the six-inch. Are Marty and Marlene coming with us?"
Calvin was so shocked by what he was hearing. So the boys were his children, and they rather looked like Marty Jr. He read the names that were etched into the book bags, and he was quite shocked how those names were Michael Jandrew McFly and Alexander Patrick McFly. It was rather obvious that these boys were twins.
"Yeah, your cousins are out in the car," Calvin replied, as he smiled rather fondly at his future children. After he took a closer look at the older version of his mother, he added, "Thanks for watching my kids, Mom. I'm glad that they were well-behaved."
"It's always a pleasure to watch your children," Lorraine said, smiling. "Dr. Thurman managed to keep the kids real entertained with puppets, so our appointment was as bad as was anticipated. They also got new toothbrushes and Colgate toothpaste."
"I have a Mickey Mouse one," Mike said, as he held up his toothbrush to Calvin, "and Alex has a Donald Duck one. At least, we didn't have any drilling done this time. It is always scary, and we really hate it when it's done to us. It's just so uncomfortable."
"Well, your Aunt Jennifer and your cousins are out in the car waiting for us," Calvin pointed out, gently. "I think they're very excited about having subs, as well."
Calvin smiled, as he and his future sons ran out to the car. It sure appeared that his future children would be real adorable - and, with Marty Jr, the three of them looked just like triplets. Now, it would be nice if he could find out who his future wife was.
oooooooooo
As soon as Jennifer drove to Wal-Mart, Calvin was stunned. He was just amazed that the kids all had good taste in music, as they were busy discussing their favourite Led Zeppelin tunes. It was nice that the band was still enjoyed twenty years later.
"All right, kids," Jennifer called out, as everyone left the car, "you just stay with us, and please don't wander off. It is quite easy to get lost in a store that big. If you all behave yourselves, I'll let you pick up some cotton candy for dessert."
The kids cheered and skipped along, as Calvin and Marty walked along. They have never been inside a Wal-Mart before, and they were pretty curious about what was inside. After eating dinner with their future children, they would then have to check out what all new appliances would be out. It would be a real adventure for them.
As they stepped into the Wal-Mart, they saw that one section of the store sold food - while the next section over sold appliances. Then there was sure a huge section that sold clothes. This store sure seemed like a convenient place to do all your shopping.
"The SubWay is in the back," Jennifer commented, as she led the crowd towards the back of the store. "You kids could either have a six-inch sub with chips, or you could have a foot-long sub. We're going to get small soft drinks, and you can have refills."
Calvin just felt hungry, as he smelled the delicious scent of freshly-baked bread. He could sure go for a tuna sub - with mayonnaise, pickles, and salt and pepper. In the grocery story section, he caught sight of an aisle that said "Dehydrated Foods". This really intrigued him, as he remember Jennifer talking about the dehydrated pizza.
oooooooooo
"We would like to ride on our hoverboards," Alex was saying, "as soon as we head to the park. So, they actually didn't have hoverboards around, when you were young? I really do not think the skateboards sound as very exciting, and they really look to be a little bit more dangerous. I mean, they do actually have those wheels on it."
Calvin sighed to himself, as he envied his children's generation. They still had the pink hoverboard that Marty brought back from the year 2015, but they could only use it in a secluded area of Hill Valley Park. They couldn't use it publically.
"No, they didn't," Marty explained. "The hoverboards seem a lot more convenient, as you really don't have to be on the pavement to use them. You just can't use them on top of water, because you can't use your oot to propel across the water."
"It still floats on top of water, though," Little Marty pointed out. "I really wish Marlene and I could have spent time with Grandpa George and Grandma Lorraine, too. I love how Grandma Lorraine hydrates us a pizza, and it takes only a few seconds."
"You two didn't have to see the dentist today," Mike reminded his cousins. "I really miss Mommy a lot. I guess she isn't coming back until Friday night, though."
Calvin's heart skipped a beat, at the mention of his future wife. He had to admit that he was a little disappointed that he wouldn't even be able to see his future wife. This was a very surreal experience for him, as he wasn't currently dating anyone.
"All right, you kids," Jennifer said, "let's just be quiet and eat our subs. We can head to the part, after we're done shopping. You kids may use your hoverboards, but you must see to it that you stay in the playground area. Do you understand everyone?"
Calvin smiled, as the kids all nodded in agreement. He would have to see what one of those hydrators looked like. It sounded like it would be a very nifty concept.
