Author's Note: This is sort of a missing scene from The Way We Could've Been - where the Marty of the Trilogy Universe really become acquainted with both of his counterparts from the Almanac Universe.

November 27, 1986

Almanac Universe

The local Marty smiled, as flopped down on a bean bag with his two counterparts. It felt surreal to consider that he was actually with two counterparts of himself. One of them was the version of himself who grew up in the Biffhorrific Universe, where Biff was his stepfather - and he actually spent most of his life in Switzerland. The other one was the version of himself who had returned to 1955 to retrieve the sports almanac from Biff, while the Biffhorrific version of himself had never shown up.

"I must say, this has been a very interesting experience," commented the visiting Marty. "Anyway, it's so interesting to finally be able to meet my counterpart from the Biffhorrific reality. I can imagine that it's been a very hard life for you, Calvin."

"Well, I was in boarding schools for most of my life," Calvin explained, sighing, "so I didn't have to put up with Biff's abuse too often. Still, it was very sad to see how my brother turned into a drunken bum - and my sister ended up becoming a hooker. As for my poor mom... Well, that's the only reason why I even bothered to come home over the holidays. I felt that it was sad, how Biff actually ruined my mother's life."

"It makes the problems that I had in the original timeline seem real minor," the local Marty added, feeling very ashamed of the attitude he had of his family in the original timeline. "Anyway, it's very nice to have a twin - but I sometimes really feel that I'm a little responsible for the creation of the timeline that my twin came from."

"You and me both," the visiting Marty added, nodding. "You know, when Doc and I kept hopping through various dimensions, I kept worrying that I might end up back in the Biffhorrific reality. I'm so glad to know that my counterpart now has a happy life."

"Do you want to listen to Huey Lewis and The Rebels?" the local Marty asked, as he stood up. "They are a little different from Huey Lewis and The News, but I really do enjoy the music. Arena rock was pretty well non-existent in the other world."

"I'm a little curious to hear what Huey Lewis and The Rebels sound like," the visiting Marty replied, after a brief pause. "Jennifer did get to hear what the band sounded like, when Doc and I left her in that world. I've always felt so bad about it. She ended up doing LSD, because she was so confused and gave up carrying about her life."

"Yeah, me, too," the local Marty replied, as he popped a cassette from Huey Lewis and The Rebels into the boombox. He still couldn't believe that he let Doc convince him to leave Jennifer replied. It was nice that she turned out all right, though.

"I'm sometimes still real leary around Biff," Calvin commented, after some time. "I mean, he waxes cars for our family, now - but he's really still the same person who killed my father, and made my mother marry him. So, yeah, I'm still tend to be real leary around him."

"I have the perfect way to loosen you up," the local Marty said, with a mischievious smile. He reached out to grab Calvin's right foot, and he turned to the visiting Marty and said, "Let's go tickle his feet for a little while, shall we?"

"That's a great idea!" the visiting Marty gushed, as he reached for Calvin's other foot. "I think the laughter will sure release some endorphins into his system."

"Oh, no, please dont!" protested Calvin, as the Martys held each leg in the air - and they began running their fingers up and down the soles of his feet. The local Marty smiled, as Calvin burst out laughing helplessly. He was really enjoying this.

"Let's go get the arches," suggested the visiting Marty. As the Martys began to attack the arches, he added, "Did Ms. Coleman tickle the soles of your feet for two hours a little earlier this years? Needles then tickled my feet about a month later."

"Yeah, both events happened," the local Marty replied. "I still remember how anxious the anticipation of the event was. It really was two hours of unbearable torment."

After about five minutes, the Martys finally decided to relent. Calvin was breathing heavily, as he was a little short of breath. He stood up and pushed the visiting Marty to the ground. The local Marty and Calvin did the same thing to him.

While the local Marty really enjoyed tickling his two counterparts mercilessly, he was a little apprehensive of the thought that his turn would be next. He smiled, as he saw just how the visiting Marty was struggling. He couldn't even reach up to stop the local Marty and Calvin from tormenting those soles. He was completely helpless.

"You're really enjoying this, aren't you?" the local Marty teased, as he indulged in tickling the arches of the feet. He knew that the visiting Marty desperately wished that he would stop. "You must really be suffering, huh? Oh, you poor thing!"

"I am having so much fun," Calvin replied. "I love making him laugh! It's really just like the way that you laugh, when I tickle the soles of your feet! His laughter sure is so captivating, it's really hard to take any pity on him. Know what I mean?"

"Well, you laugh the same way, too, Cal," the local Marty reminded his twin. "I guess the fact that we are all essentually the same person really helps. I remember how I wouldn't even let Jennifer tickle my feet. It's just so unbearable there."

After the five minutes were over - the local Marty, somewhat reluctantly, stopped. As soon as the visiting Marty stood up, the local Marty then felt himself being pushed towards the ground. He was so nervous with anticipation. Just then, his legs were being lifted up by Calvin and the visiting Marty. The local Marty then squeezed his eyes shut.

As soon as the fingers were touching the soles of his feet, the local Marty burst out laughing helplessly. He tried his best to pull his feet away - but, unfortunately, both of his counterparts were quite relentless. After the fingers went into the arches, he was giggling hard. He had to admit that he loved it and hated it at the same time.

"That's right," teased the visiting Marty, "just keep right on laughing. You know you are really enjoying this. Anyway, we're just repaying you what you did to us!"

"So what are you going to about it, huh?" taunted Calvin. "I'll tell you what you'll do about it! You will laugh and laugh and laugh. I mean, that's all you really can do!"

The local Marty felt himself going insane from the extreme tickling sensation. It also really felt surreal to think that he was actually being tickled by two other versions of himself! It felt so strange to think that he tickled and was being tickled by himself!

As soon as his counterparts finally stopped tickling his feet - the local Marty was panting, from laughing so much. He felt so grateful about it not being two hours, this time!

"Well, look at the time," Calvin pointed out. "It's almost midnight! I actually think we should be getting to bed, soon. Well, I suppose I could get us some ice cream - and it looks like we do have an extra pair of fleece pajamas for our guest."

"So, are we all going to sleep together?" asked the visiting Marty. "It's just great that I got to meet the two of you, and I'm so happy that the Biffhorrific version of myself is doing okay. I'm sure it's been a very rough life for you. I was so sad when I found out what happened to the Biffhorrific version of my mother. She looked awful."

"You know," the local Marty said, to his visiting counterpart, "it's sure amazing that our lives were essentually the same, in both timelines, before the fateful night that Doc had unveiled the time machine to us. Calvin's life was very different, though."

"Yeah, our father even took us to Oak Ridge Lodge in the summer of '72," explained Calvin, "even though my counterpart had to wait until 1973 to take the trip. I had an amazing experience where my father came to me in a dream - and he suggested to me that I should suggest that my father take us out to that trip this summer."

"Oh, yeah, I remember going to Oak Ridge Lodge," replied the visiting Marty. "Our family didn't go on the trip until I was five. Maybe I could suggest that trip for next year. Next summer, we actually turn nineteen. I feel so anxious by that thought."

"Calvin feels the same way," the local Marty said, nodding. "Say, I was wondering a little something. You said Doc married Clara, and then he actually spent eight years in the Old West? You also said that Jules and Verne were seven and five, by the time the family decided to move back to 1985? He did he manage to do that, exactly."

"Acrually, Doc was in the Old West for closer to nine years," corrected the visiting Marty. "He was in the Old West for eight months before I showed. Gee, I still can't believe Doc got quite mad at me, when I mentioned that I wish he gave me more time to rest. I mean, he still could've met Clara, under other circumstances."

"Yeah, our Doc did," the local Marty replied, quietly. "While Chris is engaged to her great-great-grandaunt, Jessica Hoffman. Anyway, I really was wondering how Doc managed to handle the, uh, legal stuff of suddenly having a wife and kids?"

"Oh, well, he enlisted the help of Sabrina Palmer," the visiting Marty explained. "With a litle bit of magic, she was able to alter history from September 4 of 1977. So it is a little like I have three major timelines that I have childhood memories from."

"Oh, yeah, you can count on good old Sabrina Palmer," Calvin said, smiling. "I mean, if it really wasn't for her, we would probably still be stuck in that horrible world where Biff is my stepfather - and I wouldn't have a real family. It required plenty of magick of magick from her, and it certainly wasn't easy. So, do you think you'll come back?"

"I sure don't see why not," the visiting Marty replied, warmly. "Although, the two of you can visit our world sometime. You guys have the destination locator, too. I can hardly wait to go back home, tomorrow. In the meantime, it's rather great - meeting the two of you. I sometimes wish I did have a twin. The two of you must be close!"

"Oh, yeah, we sure are," the local Marty gushed. "It's just nice meeting the version of myself that the trilogy was centred around. Although, I guess hearing about how you were the subject of a fictional movie trilogy could have freaked you out a bit. I mean, when Amanda told us where she came from - we were certainly in shock!"

"I already found out from the time I entered the Family Ties Universe," the visiting Marty explained. "Although, I didn't know that the movie would have two sequels."

"Well, anyway," Calvin replied, "why don't I go get everyone some ice cream - then we should probably hit the sack. I think it would just be nice to sleep with two of my interdimensional counterparts. Marty and I do have a rather unique relationship."

"Well, at least Jennifer is not wanting to sleep with the two of you," the visiting Marty replied. "I still remember this day that I was stuck one week in the future, and there were two of me. It wasn't too bad really, but it just felt like a weird experience."

"You were both still you," the local Marty pointed out. "I really don't think that future and past versions of you really are the same as alternate versions of you. We might essentually be the same person - but we still have different lives that shape who we are. I would hate to think that I may end up being a jerk in some of the reality."

"Hey, don't worry," the visiting Marty said, softly - while Calvin headed towards the kitchen. "You weren't a jerk in any of the realities that we've visited."

The local Marty smiled, as he was quite relieved to hear that. He life sure wasn't the same, since the day Doc had unveiled the time machine. He and Calvin have grown real close, and it was only fitting for the two of them to spend a night with the Marty that was shown in the trilogy. This would sure end up being a night to remember.
