"Well, Calvin," commented Marty, as soon as the DeLorean broke the space time barrier, "We're back at home in good old 1986, now! I guess we'll get pretty used to some of these futuristic inventions, but some were a little off-putting to me."
"You know," Calvin said, quietly, "I wonder why things will advance so much in the future. Do you think Dr. Brown may be responsible for some of these inventions?"
"It's hard to really say," Marty said, after a brief pause. "He really hasn't had much success with his inventions, before he created the time machine. Still, not that he did invent the time machine, I'm sure he'll have a little bit more luck, in the future."
"So, I name my sons Michael and Alexander?" Calvin asked, stunned. "I guess I must have named them after Michael J Fox and Alex P Keaton. It's amazing how both of them resembled your son, Marty Jr. I guess they would practically be triplets."
"I noticed the middle names were Jandrew and Patrick," Marty said, smiling. "I know Michael J Fox's real middle name if Andrew - so I guess Jandrew would be sort of a portmantaeu of the two. I have to say that it's quite a clever idea. I sure wonder if anyone has ever been named Jandrew before. It is an interesting name."
"I know I did toy around with that idea a few times," Calvin commented, "but I didn't quite expect to give that name to any of my future children. I simply thought of how the actor Michael J Fox probably gets asked what the J stands for, a lot of the time!"
"There does seem to be a similar mystery," Marty pointed out, "concerning Alex P Keaton's middle name. Nobody really knows what the P stands for, either. I guess Michael J Fox just ad libbed that name in the very first episode, so they kept it."
"I would hazard a guess that it's Patrick," Calvin replied. "I think the name Alexander Patrick Keaton goes good together. Anyway, it's my understanding that Michael took his middle initial from his favourite actor, Michael J Pollard. I wonder what he's like."
"I know you got to meet him in that other world," Marty replied, "when he wasn't an actor. I hope to be able to have a chance to meet the actor someday. I do feel real flattered that everyone tells me I look like him. Music is more in my bag, though."
"I hope that our band does get discovered, someday," Calvin said, wistfully. "I might not have had much of a chance in that other world. It's so nice that Zach, Joey, and Billy let me play the rhythm guitar in the band - and it's also great that KKHV plays our music a lot. It's nice being able to hear our music played on the radio."
"Our future does look to be promising," Marty said, smiling, "and, according to what Lou III told us, it appears that we actually do become discovered. I really wonder if we'll remain being The Pinheads, though. Well, let's get back to Doc's place, now."
oooooooooo
Marty felt real nervous, as he and Calvin drove back to Doc's home. He decided that Doc didn't need to know what all they did in the future. Anyway, it's not like they just sought out to find Jennifer. She just happened to show up at the internet cafe.
"I see you boys are back already," Doc said, as Marty and Calvin stepped out of the DeLorean. "You did remember to pick up all the items that I need, right? I hope you didn't get lost with finding the items. I did ask for some rather specific items."
"That's right," Calvin replied, as he and Marty handed Doc the packages. "I did have a bit of experience with computers, when I was at the boarding school in Switzerland - you know, in that other world. They seem to have become real advanced, though."
"Thank you very much, boys," Doc said, smiling. "So, you boys didn't look up your future, did you? I hope you didn't, because they could really mess everything up. I mean, it might not create a time paradox - but it may create some other damage."
"Uh, no, of course not," Calvin said, with a little nervousness. "I don't even know who my future wife is. We just stopped by the OfficeMAX, picked up all the items that you asked for, and then we came back here! You know, 181 jigabytes seems like a lot of storage space or a computer. Even a megabyte sure seems like a lot of info."
"Good for you," Doc said, smiling. "So the disguise we got for the two of you have actually worked? I think we'd better get that thing off of you, now. We don't want you two to be walking around town looking like that. People wouldn't recognize you."
"Nobody seemed to notice any difference," Marty replied. "Yeah, I really would to get that mask off of me, though. It feels all pasty, and... well, we would like to go back to being our seventeen-year-old selves. Then, I really plan to spend some time with Jennifer this evening. I would love to take her out for a romantic dinner tonight."
"Well, just sit down," Doc instructed, "and I have just the perfect way to remove the masks. I figured your hair colour wouldn't change too much by 2006, even though it is a little hard to determine whether or not your hair style would stay the same."
"At least, nobody seemed to notice any difference," Calvin replied. "Wearing all thus gunk on my face can be very uncomfortable, though. I guess we don't look too bad as middle-aged men - but, for right now, we wish to go back to being teenagers."
"I can perfectly understand that," Doc said, smiling. "Chris is still feeling pretty sick, but I think he'll be able to pull through fine. I'm sure that having spent all that time in the mental institution wasn't too pleasent for him. He seems to coping nicely in a new world, though - and with a new identity. He loves being Christopher Lloyd Brown."
"That is a great name for him," Calvin said, smiling. "I think I'm coping pretty well with my new identity, too. Sometimes, I do think that my name is still Marty - but I am getting pretty used to the fact that my new name is Calvin. I think Marty and I do have a pretty unique relationship together. We get along just great, I believe."
oooooooooo
Later that night, Marty and Jennifer decided to eat out at Francesca's Italian Diner - and he ordered his usual meal of all-you-can-eat stuffed shells and garlic bread. He found the restaurant to be a perfect place for a nice and romantic dinner.
"So, you actually ran into my future self?" Jennifer asked, smiling. "Well, it looks like our life will be a lot happer this time around. It is rather strange to think we already know what we'll be naming our kids. I hope Marty Jr ends up being more confident in the new timeline. I mean, it's so scary to think of how he could have been arrested."
"I'm pretty sure that he will," Marty said, softly. "He seemed like a very happy and outgoing young boy, with good taste in music. I'll see to it that I raise him up to be a confident person, and I'm so glad that I learned to not let being called a 'chicken' get to me anymore. It's very scary to think of what my life could be like right now."
"It's a good thing that Doc told you not to race Needles," Jennifer commented, "and I suppose having you take our son's place might have really helped, too. Griff seems like he was a very dangerous type, with all those bionic implants that he has."
"That part, I guess we can't change," Marty said, sighing. "If we raise our children up right, though, then Griff shouldn't be too much trouble for them. At least know what to expect, by the time our children become teenagers. Guess who Calvin's kids are, though? They are identical twins named Michael Jandrew and Alexander Patrick."
"Whoa, that's nice!" Jennifer said, smiling. "It's almost like how you and Calvin are twins, just not in the traditional kind of way. I guess this brings up the whole nature vs nurture argument, the way that you and Calvin both actually turned out."
"Yeah, that is very true," Marty said, laughing. "We really never got to find out who his future wife was, though. Now only were Mike and Alex twins, though - but they both looked so much like Marty Jr. The three of them could practically be triplets."
"I must say that it sounds very awesome," Jennifer replied. "The only thing is, didn't Doc tell you not to look up your own future. It sounds like the two of you didn't quite do what he asked you to do. Where did you run into my older self, anyway?"
"It was after Calvin and I stopped by Lou's Internet Cafe and Coffee Shoppe," Marty explained. "We decided to have coffee and doughnuts, and then your older self had stopped by with Marty Jr and Marlene. The kids were real excited to see me, as they thought I came home early - so we just ended up joining them for a little while."
"Oh, boy," Jennifer breathed. "It sounds like you really had quite the adventure. You maybe shouldn't tell me anything more. I wonder if I'll remember anything about the day, as it finally comes around. It's nice that you and I have a happier life together."
"I'm so glad that I learned to not let being called a 'chicken' get to me," Marty said, soiftly, "and I will see to it that we don't get married in the Chapel O' Love. The day that we get married, I will make sure that we have a nice big wedding. I can assure you that it will be one very day for us. It sure would be a day for us to remember."
