Marty Jr thought of how nice it was to be able to visit 1986 again. It felt so strange to be walking beside his father-to-be and his future son, who both resembled him to a tee. The rest of the crowd were walking a little bit behind him.
"Well, Alex and Mike," Marty Sr commented, as he referred to his descendants by their aliases, "I'm just trying to think of what we should talk about. So, do you both like Huey Lewis and The News? The Power of Love is my favourite song."
"That's a great tune," Marty III commented, nodding. "It's so nice that we now have a revival of good old rock and roll in the 2040s. Believe it or not, we even have a revival of the hippie movement. We actually have new bands who are recording psychedelic rock."
"I was so happy to find out about that," Marty Jr added. "If there's one thing that I can't stand, it's gangsta rap. At least, with the Cafe '80s, there's some sort of an '80s revival. I was worried that we might all have space shuttles by the year 2046."
"Well, that's a relief," Marty Sr commented. "I mean, I was so impressed with some of the cool inventions that I've seen by 2015 - but, on the other hand, it does seem as if technology is advancing a little too rapidly. I mean, I really don't want to think that this world may become so overrun with technology in the future."
Marty Jr swallowed hard, as he was unsure of whether he should explain that most of those inventions were at least influenced by that of Dr. Emmett Brown. Doing so could maybe create a paradox, however. He decided that it was best to say nothing.
"Alright, McFly!" snarled a familar-sounding voice. When Marty Jr saw that it was one of the Tannens, the Tannen added, "That's right! All three of you! I see that your cousins look just as wussy as you do. Well, we're gonna make you pay for what your pathetic friends did to my brother. You losers are not going to get away with this."
Seven other people then showed up - and the one who looked like Tom and Chuck Needles stared at them manacingly. They all had weapons in their hands, and they began to make their move to beat up the three Martys. Marty Jr was frightened.
Just then, Will Tannen and Tom Needles stepped up - and the two of them stared at the bullies. The bullies flinched back with fright, as they dropped their weapons.
"Who are you people?" Cliff demanded, as his voice was wavering. "Where the hell did you come from? Why do you look so much like Douglas and myself?"
The Martys immediately took advantage of the distraction to look for skateboards, as they began to skate away from the gang. Then the eight bullies caught sight of them, and they began to run after the Martys. The Martys reached onto the back of a car.
oooooooooo
When Jennifer saw what was happening, her heart was racing fast. She turned to Melody and Suzy, who both had frightened looks on their faces. She never realized how much Douglas Needles could be just as bad as Cliff Tannen.
"This is partially my fault," Melody says, with alarm. "It was Marlene, Harmony, and myself who were responsible to kicking the crap out of Miff. We really had no idea that some of his friends would be out for revenge. I feel so bad, now."
"Aw, don't worry, Melody," Jennifer said, softly, as she gently placed a hand on her future daughter's shoulder. "I understand why you girls did what you did. Miff was trying to take advantage of you, after all. You were simply defending yourselves."
"Anyway, look at how my life improved," Jamie added, as she was listening in. "I'm much more popular, now - and I don't get made fun of, as much as I used to."
Melody's eyes then filled up with tears, as she said, "I guess I can't argue really argue with that. I do remember how much abuse you have taken before. It was really a shame that Jeb Strickland never did anything about it."
"It certainly sounds like Jeb Strickland is just as bad as Steven Strickland," Jennifer commented. "Steven Strickland doesn't even try to do anything to stop the bullying. In fact, when Needles was tickling the soles of Marty's feet, he actually just stood there and egged Needles on - telling him to go get 'that slacker' good."
"It's unbelievable," Suzy said, as she was shaking her head. "A least the Strickland who's the high school principal in 2046 is much nicer and more understanding. Why do you suppose Steven Strickland just let the bullies get away with murder?"
"You're so lucky," Jennifer said, as she sighed with envy. "From what I understand, though, he did used to be friends with Marty's grandfather. As they had a falling out, though, then Strickland must've carried a real grudge against the McFlys. He never was too fond of Dr. Brown's family, either. He calls Dr. Brown a nutcase."
"This makes me so mad," Harmony said, as she clenched her fists. "My grandpa is a genius, and it really upsets me whenever people speak ill of him. He really doesn't deserve the scorn that he receives from some of the more uptight residents."
"Maybe we can do the same for Heidi," Jamie suggested, "as well as Marlene. I hate to think that we'll have to let Marlene get raped, just to ensure Heidi's existence. I remember how Marlene went into shock, when she found out about that!"
"I can imagine that it was a little devastating to her," Jennifer said, gently. "Oh, man! We need to find out what happened to the Martys! I'm so worried about them."
"I just hope that my Marty's okay," Harmony commented. "He's not used to riding on a skateboard, and I can imagine they're a little more dangerous than hoverboards would be. After all, they have wheels on them. I hope the Martys can get away!"
oooooooooo
As Cliff Tannen's gang and Douglas Needles' gang were chasing after the Martys, Tom and Will were chasing after the gangs. Will was really cursing his ancestors.
Just as Cliff was about to drive into a manure truck, Tom and Will quickly let go, as they went to join the Martys. Will was happy to see the that bullies got what they deserved. Cliff's car was full of manure, and the bullies were all dirty.
"I hate manure!" Cliff cried out, as he was spitting some it out of his mouth.
"Are you guys okay?" Will asked, with concern. "I am so ashamed of the fact that I come from a lineage of bullies. Buford has got to be the worst of them all."
"Let's hurry up and get out of here," Tom suggested, "before these guys decide to come after us." Lowering his voice, he added, "I think we scared them good!"
"I think I'm going to change my name one of these days," Will groused. "After all, our ancestors have been terrorizing this town for nearly two centuries - and I just don't wish for any of our ancestors to carry on the bad gene."
"Aw, Will," gushed Marty III, "you don't have any bad gene inside of you. I mean, I think your parents raised you up well. Well, I hope we can go skating soon."
"Marty!" cried out Harmony, as the Will's group joined them. "Are you all right? What happened to those bullies? If they actually hurt you, then you can see to it that they will come to regret it for the rest of their lives. You're not hurt, are you?"
"We made them crash into a manure truck," Marty Jr said, smiling. "Cliff's car is all full of it! I think Tom and Will freaked them out pretty good, as well."
"It's just like what I did with Biff's gang back in 1955," Marty Sr added. "My offspring were a little frightened, as they're more used to hoverboard, and I made sure that didn't get wiped out. Why don't we all head into the roller rink, now?"
"I'm glad that Miff isn't my father anymore," Jamie said, as she shook her head. "It's strange to think I'll be marrying the boy who used to be my half-sister. We didn't tell him about the ime machine, yet, though. We might someday, though."
"Well, let's go have some fun, now!" suggested Jennifer. "They should be having Open Skate all day, so I think we deserve to have a little fun."
Everyone nodded, as they headed towards the roller rink. Will wanted to see more of what the 1980s was like, as he was very fond of some of the music from that era.
