Marty Jr was looking through the menu for desserts, and he figured the strawberry shortcake looked good. He was thinking of how surreal that whole experience was. Just then, a group of tough looking teens stormed in - and the group leader looked so much like Griff Tannen. Marty Jr had a bad feeling about what might happen.
"Hey, McFly!" called out the boy who looked so much like Griff Tannen. "I thought I told you never to come in here!" Marty Jr suddenly sighed to himself. He wondered for about how how many generations Tannens felt the need to harass a McFly.
"Ziff, don't ever ever give up?" Marty III asked, rolling his eyes. "You can't order me around like this. I have eleven friends to back me up, while you only have four!"
Ziff was about to swing his bat at the table, when an African-American man grabbed him by the arms and began to drag him into a room. His gang quickly ran out.
"There are actually two girls in his group," Melody observed, stunned. "What is that man going to do to Ziff? I hope he does this world a favour and doesn't breed!"
"One of the girls is his sister, Jen," Tom pointed out, "and this other girl is my sister, Libby. My brother, Chuck, is also in the group - and the other one is Ross Unger. My other sister, Sarah, is a very sweet girl. Chuck really take after Grandpa Doug."
Marty Jr began to ponder over everything Tom just told him. "Grandpa Doug" would be the bully who harassed his father in high school. He then figured that Ross Unger would be the son of Rafe Unger, otherwise known as "Data", who was a part of Griff Tannen's gang. He really wished that the nasty Tannen girl's name wasn't Jen.
"The man's name is Caleb Wilson," Suzy added. "He's the son of Goldie Wilson III. I am also curious about what he plans to Ziff. As far as I'm concerned, Ziff just needs the fear of God to be beaten into him. He has always been nothing but trouble."
"He really disgraces the Tannen family name," Stephanie added, making a face. "Of course, this bullying tradition seems to go all the way back to Buford Tannen."
"Hi, everyone," Caleb Wilson said, as he returned to the table. "I called the police on Ziff. He and his gang will no longer be allowed to enter the restaurant. I really wish I had thought to do this much sooner. Anyway are you boys ready for dessert?"
"I'll have a strawberry shortcake," Marty Jr replied, as he flashed Caleb a lopsided smile. "I was wondering if I could have some extra whipped cream on it."
oooooooooo
"So Caleb Wilson owns Psychedelic Pstand, eh?" Harmony asked, as the group was leaving the restaurant. "I heard that this place used to be the Cafe 80s about thirty years ago, and it was owned by Lou Carruthers III. It is my understanding that the Carruthers have actually been the owners of that building ever since the 1880s."
Marty Jr himself was pretty amazed. Lou Carruthers daughter, Sarah, had married the first Goldie Wilson - while his son, Lou Carruthers Jr, took on ownership of that building. He ended up changing the building from a cafe to an aerobics studeo.
"Sarah! Heidi!" called out Eileen. "How did the meeting go? I really wish you could've joined us at Psychedelic Pstand. Well, we were pretty crowded with twelve people."
"So who are all these people?" Sarah asked. Marty Jr was stunned by how much Sarah resembled her sister, Libby. "Are these some cousins of yours?"
"I don't think so," Heidi said, shaking her head. "We don't have any cousins who look like Eileen and Meg. If I didn't know any better, I'd almost think I was dreaming."
"Let's head over to Hill Valley Park," suggested Marty III. "I promise you that we can trust these people. You would really have a tough time believing what we have to tell you. The other guys who looks like me is related, but not you would expect."
"I guess I can trust your judgement," Heidi said, smiling. "By the way, my name is Heidi Hartford. I am the sister of Eileen and Meg - actually, their half-sister."
Marty Jr glanced at Marlene, who had a worried look on her face. She was probably worried that her future husband - whoever he could be, as Marty Jr didn't know any boy with Hartford for a last name - might eventually end up divorcing her.
"My name is Sarah Needles," added Sarah. "I have a twin sister named Libby, but we really don't get along at all. We used to be very close, up until we were twelve. When one of our so-called 'friends' played a mean trick on her, though - she soon turned to 'the dark side', so to speak. So we barely ever got along since. I sure miss her!"
"That's really a shame," Marty Jr said, shaking his head. "This must have been such a mean trick, if it was enough to turn her to into a bully. You know, I hate thinking I may actually have been a jerk - if the situations in my life were actually different."
"Actually, it wasn't merely a trick," Sarah said, quitely. "What was done to her was emotionally devastating to her. I don't want to get into it too much, you know."
"So, Heidi," Marlene asked, worriedly, "who is your mother? You look to be slightly younger than Eileen and Meg. Did your father actually divorce and remarry?"
"Uh, no, not really," Heidi replied, blushing. "Marlene Harford is my mother, but my father is Griff Tannen. He raped Mom a year after Eileen and Meg were born."
Marlene was suddenly panic-stricken, and then she fainted to the ground. Eileen and Meg were quick to grab her, while Heidi had a very quizzicle expression on her face. Marty Jr couldn't really blame Heidi for being shocked by Marlene's reaction.
"What exactly happened to Lea?" Stephanie asked, confused. "Why would finding out that someone was the product of a rape set someone into shock like that?"
"We might as well tell you straight out," Melody said, nervously. "She isn't really Lea Bateman. Her name is actually Marlene McFly. She is the mother of Eileen, Meg, and Heidi. We're time travellers, and we actually came here from the year 2016."
"Time travellers?" Heidi asked, confused. "I know you people are just joshing me. I mean, it's really not possible to travel through time. Time travel can only happen in science fiction movies. Even though, I really do wonder why that girl looks so much like Eileen and Meg. There's also one of you who quite looks like Suzy, and another one of you who looks like Stephanie. One of you even looks just like Marty."
"We can prove it to you," insisted Marty Jr. "Come join us in Hill Valley Park, and we can even show you. You see, Dr. Emmett Brown created a time machine back in the year 1985." Suddenly he exclaimed, "My God! That's actually sixty years ago!"
"All right, then," Heidi said, laughing a little. "I guess we can humour you guys. You shouldn't have to be afraid to tell us about Lea Bateman's condition, though."
oooooooooo
"Um, well, it's a station wagon, right?" Heidi asked, as soon as she saw the vehicle that Marty Jr and his lot arrived in. "They were common back in the 1970s!"
"Right," Sarah agreed, nodding, "and I know they never travelled through time. This was simply a regular vehicle that you drove around in - even though they did not fly back then." Sarah began to laugh, as she added, "It's such a funny joke, though!"
"Okay, all right," Marty Jr insisted, "I'll prove it to you." Marty Jr opened the door to the driver's seat, and he said, "Look at these time circuits. The readout tells you we came here from the year 2016." Pointing to a y-shaped device, he continued, "Look at the flux capacitor. Dr. Brown came up with that concept back in the year 1955."
"The flux capacitor is what makes time travel possible," Harmony added. "Anyway, it is really nice to know that Marty and I will get married in the future, and that our son will be an actor. I'm sure that our son has seen some pictures of us, at our age."
"I believe her," Marty III agreed, nodding. "I can tell, just from looking at her eyes, that she is my mother-to-be. Anyway, Dr. Brown is a genius. I mean, if it wasn't for him, we maybe wouldn't even have all these inventions that we have today."
"I guess I may as well believe you," Heidi replied. "One of you looks like Eileen and Meg, one of you looks like Suzy, and one of you looks like Marty. It is uncanny how we have all these look-alikes here. Dr. Brown must be one hell of a genius!"
"This is certainly a shocker," Stephanie commented. "You said Dr. Brown invented this? I wonder why nobody knows about this. That is so groovy, to say the least."
"It's probably because of all the dangers of travelling through time," suggested Tom. "Anyway, I can hardly believe that this time machine is actually for real."
"Should we go swimming for a little while?" asked Meg. "We have a pond in this park, and we plenty of extra swimsuits. It is really amazing to actually meet our mother, at our age. I just hope that she wakes up soon. I guess the news did shock her!"
Marty Jr was suddenly uneasy, now that he knew that his sister would get raped in the future. That couldn't be easy for anyone to learn about. It was so horrible!
