Marty Jr felt stunned, as soon he found himself lying outside in 1955. Immediately, he heard some sonic booms nearby. He looked up in the sky, and saw a DeLorean flying nearby. He quickly grabbed Harmony's hand, as the two of them stood up.
"I guess this really did work," Harmony said, stunned. "Oh, look! The DeLorean is landing behind that sign. That might be your dad and my grandpa."
Suddenly, the DeLorean door opened - and out stepped a teen Marty Sr and Doc.
As the time travellers broke the time barrier, and headed in 1955, Doc parked the DeLorean behind the Lyon Estates billboard - the same place where Marty had parked the car a week earlier.
"Ah, this is heavy, Doc," said Marty Two, with a sigh. "I mean it's like I was just here yesterday."
"You were here yesterday, Marty," Doc reminded Marty. "You were. Amazing, isn't it?" As Doc '85 and Marty Two ran to the billboard for Lyon Estates, Doc '85 added, "All right, sunrise should be in about 22 minutes." As he headed back to the DeLorean, he added, "You go into town, and track down young Biff and tail him. Sometime today, old Biff will show up and give young Biff the almanac. Above all, you must not interfere with that event. You must let old Biff believe he's succeeded, so he'll leave 1955 and return the DeLorean back to the future."
"Right," Marty Two replied.
"Once Old Biff has gone," continued Doc '85, "grab the almanac any way you can. Remember both of our futures depend on this!"
"You don't have to remind me of that, Doc!" protested Marty Two.
"Here are some binoculars and a walkie-talkie for each of you," Doc '85 said, "so we can all keep in contact. I'll stay here and try to repair the shortened time circuits. That way, we don't risk anyone else stealing the time machine - and I won't risk accidentally running into my other self.'
"I just thought of something," Marty Jr said to Harmony. "I realize that the old Biff that Doc is talking about came from a different timeline. I'm not sure if the Biff of our timeline ever came back to this date."
"I kinda doubt it," Harmony replied. "Otherwise, he might start harassing Grandpa."
"Your other self?" asked Marty Two, confused.
"Yes! There are now 2 of me here," Doc '85 explained, "and there are 2 of you here. The other me, is the Dr. Emmett Brown from 1955, the younger me that helps the younger you get back to 1985! Remember the lightning bolt at the clock tower?"
"Yeah," answered Marty Two.
"That event doesn't happen until tonight," explained Doc '85, "so you must be very careful not to run into your other self. Let me give you some money." Doc reached into his briefcase to pull out some money, and continued, "Have to be prepared for all monetary possibilities! Get yourself some '50s clothes."
"Check, Doc," replied Marty Two.
After Marty Two turned to leave, Doc '85 called out, "Something inconspicuous!"
Marty Two didn't bother replying to his older friend. Marty Jr held Harmony's hand, and the two of them began to float up in the air. It was such a good feeling.
"So what next?" Harmony asked Marty Jr. "We're not going to just stay here and watch Grandpa work on the time machine, are we?"
"Naa," Marty Jr replied. "Let's head downtown, and see what we can find there."
"Good idea," Harmony replied, as she and Marty Jr started to float downtown.
oooooooooo
Doc '55 sleepily stretched his arms, as he woke up. He realized that today was going to be the big day. He would have to send his younger friend back to 1985. He had to connect the cables and the wire to the clock. He was feeling a little nervous. After all, this would be his first experiment with time travel - and he hadn't even invented the time machine, yet. Apparently, that wouldn't happen for another thirty years.
He began to think about how he would really miss Marty. While he did have a few friendly aquaintences, it became evident that he and Marty were destined to have a very close relationship in the future. He was suddenly concerned about whether his friend might be successful in bringing his parents together.
His thoughts suddenly drifted towards George McFly. He remember that George was in his class nine years ago, and his closest friends were Billy Stockhausen and Lester Collins. The three of them were rather eccentric, but they just didn't seem to be particularly outcasts. Maybe young kids just tended to be more open-minded than many high schoolers were. That was one reason why Doc had opted to teach at an elementary school level. His heart really did go out to George.
Suddenly, he heard the barking of his dog, Copernicus. He figured that his faithful sheepdog wanted to go for a walk. As Copernicus walked into the bedroom, Doc '55 patted his dog's head, as Copernicus started to lick his hand. He decided to get out of bed and get dressed. He suddenly felt a little sad, as he realized Marty was going to leave tonight - and Doc would not see him again for many years.
oooooooooo
George McFly woke up with a jolt, as he alarm clock went off. He just had a nice dream about how he was about to be married to Lorraine Baines. The truth is, he had a crush on Lorraine for a few months - but he was afraid to talk to her. One of the biggest fears he had was with facing rejection.
Speaking of rejection, that was also the same reason why he was afraid to let anyone read her stories. It was just two days ago that he finally let his closest friends, Lester Collins and Billy Stockhausen - as well as his new friend, Marty Klein - read his stories. He was pleased to discover that all three of them liked his stories.
Perhaps, one of the reasons why George feared rejection was because he didn't have too many friends. There were several people at his school who tried to be friendly to everyone. Last year, he even tried reading How To Win Friends And Influence People - but, unfortunately, the advice he gained from that book just caused people to avoid him some more. George sometimes felt real lonely.
He thought over the plan that Marty told him about the other day. Could he really punch his new friend in the stomach? After all, Marty was really the only other friend he had - besides Lester Collins and Billy Stockhausen, who were both fellow outcasts at their school. Marty, however, wasn't exactly the type to be an outcast.
"Honey, are you up?" asked his mother, Sylvia. "Lester is on the phone. He wanted to know if you would like to meet him at Lou's Cafe this morning."
"Tell him that I'll be right over, Mom," George replied.
He didn't want to let his friend down, but he remember how Biff told him to never come back to Lou's Cafe. The more time he had spent with Marty, though, the more he began to realize how right his friend was. He suddenly felt so angry towards Biff, as he realize just how much he let Biff push him around. If he could somehow win Lorraine over this evening, maybe his life will start to change for the better.
oooooooooo
"Here we are, Harmony," announced Marty Jr, as the two of them floated towards the Courthouse Square. "Wow! This place looks so different, doesn't it? I still remember how, in 1986, this section of the town did look pretty run down."
"Hey, look at the clock tower," Harmony pointed out. "It's actually still working. You know, I almost wish that the clock could become fixed. It's so nice to see that clock working. Anyway, maybe they don't even need to replace that clock."
"Yeah, it is," Marty Jr said, impressed. "Of course, lightning doesn't strike the clock until tonight. We can actually witness the most historical moment in Hill Valley. We could even witness your grandpa sending my father home. It will be very nice."
"Hey, Marty," Harmony called out, "is that your father over there? That boy he's with looks a lot like Herbie Collins, that boy who has a crush on your sister."
"Hey, Lester," George was saying. "Did you find anyone to go to the dance with?"
"Unfortunately, no," Lester said, sighing. "I guess I have the same luck with girls as you do. Do you think Biff will harass us this early in the morning?"
"Well, I know he's not exactly an early riser," George said, as the two boys entered the Cafe. "I think it should be safe enough for us to enter the Cafe."
"Your grandpa was pretty cute," Harmony commented. "Did he really have difficulty with making friends? That other boy must be Herbie's grandpa. I've always felt real bad for poor Herbie. I mean, he seems like a nice enough boy."
"Yeah, I've always defended him," Marty Jr replied. "I think Herbie's father was close to my Uncle Dave. My sister is sometimes a little mean to him, unfortunately."
Suddenly, the sounds of the Westminster chimes could be heard. Marty Jr and Harmony both turned around, and they saw that the clock read 6:30.
"Well, Marty," Harmony asked. "Should we try to looking for either version of your father? Although, we could maybe try your grandma as well. I do wonder what she looked like. From pictures I've seen of her, she looked very attractive."
"Let's check out your grandpa's mansion," Marty Jr suggested. "The other version of Marty might still be there. I know that Dad was always a late riser, as a teen."
