BTTF Universe

Marty was real stunned by what he heard. He still remembered the event from two years ago - where Alex P Keaton, Brantley Foster, and Joe Rasnick ended up in Hill Valley Park. It was a result of the temporal locator malfunctioning. That device was invented by Doc, and it was designed to grab objects from other time periods.

As a result, it really seemed strange to think that this event came from Bill and Ted's side. Even after having met other fictional characters, he couldn't help but feel very shocked that Bill Preston and Ted Logan actually managed to show up in the flesh.

"I'll have to check out your phone booth," Marty said, quietly. "I've met other fictional characters in the past, that I was also considered fictional to. It can be real confusing to talk about. Anyway, out of curiosity, what made you two decide to come here?"

"We really wanted to meet some other time travellers," explained Bill. "I sure couldn't believe how the first person we ran into happened to be Mr. Strickland. Then we end up running into a gang. By the way, Marty, who is this Douglas Needles dude? I very much don't remember seeing him in the movie. That actually was the most atypical."

Marty was a little confused, as he remembered hearing from one of his counterparts that Back to the Future was actually a trilogy. He then realized the sequels must not have been released, yet. He then thought of how Mind Warped II, which would star Michael J Fox, was going to be released later that year. He figured out the rest.

"Let's just say," Marty said, quietly, "I quite have this feeling he'll be featured in one of the sequels for Back to the Future. Anyway, I suppose those girls you're with are from Medieval England, right? So, how have they adjusted to living in the present?"

"It's totally awesome living in the present," commented Joanna. "We actually have a more civilized government. Even if we rather do disagree with a lot of George Bush's policies, he isn't as ruthless or barbaric as our father was. We just love living here!"

"I suppose it did take quite a lot of getting used to, though, eh?" Marty asked. "It was sort of like that for Clara. There were quite a lot of things she loved about living in the Old West, but she has come to love this era. Jules and Verne do quite enjoy life in this era, as well. They were even horrified by the prospect of moving back into the past."

Marty just caught sight of Doc and Clara walking up to them. He sure felt nervous, as he figured the two could hear their conversation. He knew that Jules and Verne - and even young Haven - enjoyed watching Bill and Ted. Doc, on the other hand, did have some big issues with the movie - and, as a result, he really only watched it one time.

"Great Scott!" gasped Doc, as he took a close look at the visitors. "You look familiar to me, for some reason, but I can't seem to place my finger on it. Have I met any of you before, by any chance? My name is Dr. Emmett Brown - and this is my wife, Clara."

"These boys are Bill and Ted," Marty explained, gently, "from the new movie you, uh, didn't like so much. The girls are the princesses that were brought back from Medeival England. Before you ask, they just came here in a phone booth Rufus gave to them."

"Great Scott!" repeated Doc. "I really never expected the phone booth time machine to, uh, become real. I mean, from our perspective, this is something we know from a movie. We're no stranger to meeting, uh, fictional characters - but, this is strange."

"This is totally a new time machine," Ted explained. "Rufus invented this new machine that would allow travel between alternate realities, as well as travel through time. On our first trip, we decided to check out this world - because we quite enjoy Back to the Future. How come you don't care too much for the movie that featured us, uh, Doc?"

"Well, uh," Doc replied, as he began to blush, "to be honest, I really was bothered by how you broke so many of the time travel rules. In particular, this part about bringing historical people into the future. I rather thought it was a little risky to the space-time continuum. I was actually rather hesitant about even bringing Clara into the future."

"Oh, well," Bill suggested, "I guess the concept of time travel works differently in our universe. When we sent them back home, Rufus used a futuristic device to put them all to sleep. They'd then wake up, and just think the whole adventure was a dream."

"This is what Doc did with me," explained Jennifer, stunned. "Unfortunately, he didn't really count on the fact that I would wake up in the Hell Valley Universe. It was just a scary experience with me. The thing is, Biff had tried to force me to strip for him."

"That sounds most odious," Ted commented, as Elizabeth and Joanna had horrified expressions on their face. "I knew Biff was pretty bad, and he tried to harass your boyfriend's mother a few times. He never really struck me as the type of person to force women to strip for them. How did Biff end up becoming that bad, anyway?"

"Well, uh," Marty said, nervously, "I have a real good feeling you'll be able to find out for yourself, after the sequel is released later on this year. In this universe, Michael J Fox is going to star in a sequel to Mind Warped - which was a great 1985 classic..."

"That must be this universe's equivalent to Back to the Future," Bill suggested. "We never thought very much about whether the actors in the movie also existed in the universe - but we do know that both Huey Lewis and the audition judge really did."

"In a way," added Ted, "it feels rather strange to think that, in this universe, Back to the Future as a movie just doesn't exist. Granted, it's real logical and certainly makes plenty of sense - but it's so weird to think how Michael J Fox still has an acting career in this universe, but he was never in Back to the Future. That movie made him big!"

"What about movies like Light of Day and The Secret of My Success?" asked Ted, with great curiosity. "What about Bright Lights Big City and Casualties of War? Were these ever filmed in this universe? They came out after Back to the Future, which was really the movie that established his career as a movie star - and quite gave him that push."

Marty began to recall how Joe Rasnick and Brantley Foster, along with Alex P Keaton, had shown up in this universe two years ago. He also remembered how Joe had really been the one responsible for blurting out that Calvin Klein actually died from cancer.

"Yeah, they've all been filmed," replied Marty. "In this universe, it was actually Mind Warped that quite established Michael J Fox as a huge movie star. Believe it or not, Brantley and Joe came here two years ago. It wasn't by their own means, though."

"It was by an invention of Doc's, right?" asked Joanna. "Maybe you folks might visit our universe sometime. It's rather fascinating how we are mutually fictional to each other, and we both quite have means to enter other realities. I was just wondering about whether we may be able spend the night here. We seems like a geat town."

"They could just spend the night at our house," offered Marty. "We have two guest rooms in our apartment. Ted and Elizabeth could sleep in one, and Bill and Joanna in the other. I've always thought it'd be neat to meet them, since I saw the movie."

"Well, since they came here through their own means," Doc commented, "I guess it's not quite my place to tell them whether they can stay here or not. As Rufus was the one to give the machine to them, I guess they'd have to go by his rules. It sure feels very strange that I wasn't the one responsible this time. I mean, usually I am."

"Hey, Doc, let's not forget about this time machine HG Wells had," Jennifer was real quick to point out. "Do you remember the time that we went back to 1895? It simply turned out that the events of Time After Time did happen, but the year was 1977."

"Excellent!" exclaimed Ted. "Then maybe the events from the movie happened in our universe, too. After we return, then we might head back to 1895 - and see if we can find HG Wells. His book, The Time Machine, is the most excellent piece of literature!"

"Well, whatever you want to do," Doc replied, as his lips curved into a smile. "Even if that movie really turned out to be true in our universe, it really may not be the same for yours. Then again, maybe it is. I don't know for sure." To Jennifer, he added, "It was the best week of my life. Clara and Amy were both rather sad about parting."

"Yeah, the two of them really did have a lot in common," observed Jennifer. "Both fell in love with a time traveller from a different time period. Clara was from your past, as well as ended up travelling into the future. For Amy, it really was quite the opposite."

"It's just neat to know that I have so much in common with my favourite author," Doc commented, amused. "Well, actually, my second favourite. Jules Verne will always be number one for me. Anyway, folks, Clara and I better get going! It's getting so late."

After Doc and Clara turned to leave, Ted said, "Wow! Clara was quite quiet. I totally admire Jules Verne. He's the most excellent classic sci-fi writer! My favourite book by him by Around The World In Eighty Days. It sounded like a most bodacious journey!"

"All right, gang," suggested Marty. "After we get to my place, we could maybe watch a movie and have some popcorn. HG Well and Amy did have a lot in common with Doc and Clara. There is one thing they don't have in common. HG Wells sure doesn't have a young companian like me to accompany him on his time travel trips, like Doc does."

As the four visitors accompanied Marty and Jennifer, Marty thought of how fun it'd be to have a party with them. It really was awesome that they were actually mutual fans of each other, even if they were also mutually fictional to each other. It'd be quite like being teenagers again, only with more freedom. It'd be nice if Bill and Ted could stay.
