BTTF Universe

Marty woke up a little earlier than usual, as he was very excited about the release of the film of his father's book. He thought of how freaky it rather would be, if Michael J Fox was selected to play the alien. After all, the book was pretty similar to that week he spent in 1955 - as his father suspected that "Calvin Klein" might be "Darth Vader".

He decided to toast some frozen waffles, with butter and maple syrup. Jennifer really was the expert at cooking, and Marty decided to just let her sleep. He wondered how the visitors were doing? He began to think back to his very first night, when he ended up in the Family Ties Universe. Alex P Keaton was the one to help him return home!

Just then, the doorbell rang. As Marty walked to it, he saw that Doc was standing on the other side. Marty then wondered why Doc came here real early, just as he let his older friend inside. He felt real guilty - as he hadn't spend much time with Doc, lately.

"Your father gave me a bunch of tickets," Doc explained, as a smile spread across his face. "My family is real excited to see the movie, even young Haven. It is quite hard, thinking of how Haven is growing so fast. She's actually over two-and-a-half, now."

"I sure remember the week she was born," Marty said, nostalgically. "We had Haven at eighteen come back from the future, and she wanted to see herself as a baby. In fact, I had a chance to do the same - the time that you had sent Jennifer and I back to 1968. I wonder if something like that might happen, when our children are born."

"Well, you never quite..." Doc suddenly pointed behind Marty, as he gasped, "Bill and Ted are still here?" Marty quickly turned around, as he saw that Ted was heading into the bathroom. "So, Marty, just how long are you planning to let them stay here?"

"I just didn't see any harm in letting them spend the night," Marty replied, nervously. "Look, Doc, Bill and Ted are sure interesting people - and I thought there wouldn't be problem in letting them stay for a few days. They're very fun guys to have around."

"Marty, you sure have to be cautious!" Doc chided, gently. "You can't let people from foreign realities move in with you. They can't stay here, as they really don't belong in this reality. For them to just stay here, it could have a very disasterous affect on the space-time continuum. How long were you planning on letting them stay here?"

"Relax, Doc," Marty replied, somewhat impatiently. "I figured they might stay here for just a week. I can't really tell them to leave, as they came here in a machine that they had in their world. Doc, they actually might've not even shown up here in Hill Valley."

"But they did, Marty," protested Doc. "They did. Listen, Marty, it might be a machine that I had no involvement in, but it actually still is my duty to prevent any parodoxes from occurring. I mean, what if some time travel villains were actually come here?"

"They're not villains, Doc," countered Marty. "They're very good-hearted people, who just happened to be struggling with school. I promise you, Doc. If they were villians, I would make sure to let you know right away. You've seen the movie, haven't you?"

"Oh, Marty," Doc murmured, wearily. "Marty! Marty! Marty! I understand that you're a young man, now - and that you like to be quite independent. We really are a team, though - and we really do have to have a certain level of trust in each other. I simply don't want to see you getting hurt. Anyway, I won't lecture you about it, anymore."

"We apologize, Dr. Brown," Ted commented, as he walked up to Doc. "We just kind of invited ourselves over, and we just had no idea that we were movie characters in this universe. I mean, in our universe, you guys are actually the ones who are... are..."

"Yeah, you already told me," replied Doc, with a small smile. "I guess I should be more trustful of my friend. It was only a matter of being cautious. I'm very certain that you two would understand where I'm coming from - as you're quite acquainted with fourth dimensional travel, too. Don't worry, Ted. I really don't have anything against you."

"We understand, Dr. Brown," Bill replied, just as he walked up. "I think our time travel works a little differently, but we understand what you mean. Please don't be too mad at Marty. Anyway, Ted and I would love to watch A Match Made In Space, as well."

"I'm not mad at all," replied Doc, softly. "I guess I don't see a problem with you going to the theatre. Just make sure to dress inconspicuously, as people could mistake you for, uh... for the actors who play you. So the princesses are here, with you guys?"

"That's quite right, Doc dude," Ted replied, enthusiastically. "I must say, this is simply the most bodacious adventure we've had. We really decided to take an expedition to our favourite cinematic masterpiece. We simply have dreamed about time travel, and we had no idea our dreams would ever come true. Meeting you is the most stellar."

"Please, call me Doc," replied the scientist. "Anyway, I can't stay long. I sure wanted to give you these tickets, and I guess you'll really need six of them. Clara and I have a meeting that we need to attend, Marty - and your parents sure did agree to watch our kids. I was thinking, though - we could maybe have dinner together, tomorrow."

Marty was stunned, as he thought of how Jules and Verne would feel about meeting their favourite characters. Haven would really be curious, although Marty believed it simply wouldn't be a good idea to explain everything to her - as she'd be too young.

"That would be totally excellent, Doc!" Bill and Ted gasped, in unison. As Joanna and Elizabeth walked up, they added, "Good morning, girls!" As the boys were very quick to hug their respective girlfriends, they added, "You look great on this fine morning."

"They look beautiful," Doc agreed, admiringly. "You boys sort of do have something in common with me, as I've met my Clara back in 1885. Anyway, just remember to dress inconspicuously. I believe it would be a good idea to fix your hair a little differently."

"That actually won't be a problem, Doc," Joanna assured the scientist. After Doc left, she added, "How should I set my hair? Do you think I should just put it up in a bun? It might not be very fashionable, but it would make me look a little less recognizable."

"Am I actually the last one up?" gasped a familiar feminine voice. As Marty looked up, he saw that it was Jennifer. "I sure can't believe it! What's all going on here? I mean, is there something that I've missed? I'm usually the very first one to get out of bed. I guess you all must be... Well, I suppose today is actually the big day of the movie."

"Well, you've just missed Doc," explained Marty. "He came here to give us tickets to the movie - and he just yelled at me, for letting our visitors spend the night. I guess he does have a point, but it was getting late - and I really thought it was harmless."

"Oh, I see," Jennifer replied, as she playfully wagged her finger at Marty. "Seeing as we have guests here, I think I quite have time to make coffee cake. The movie won't be playing until this afternoon, so I... I bet the theatre will really be jammed today."

"I think it would be," agreed Elizabeth, "seeing as George McFly is pretty much a local celebrity. In fact, it looks like he's a very well-known local celebrity. I don't know if he was involved in directing the movie, but I'm quite sure he'll be getting lots of royalties for the film. Marty, I bet you must feel real proud of your father. He sure earned it."

"You bet," Marty replied, with a lopsided smile. "It seems so surreal. After all, George simply never would've written the book, if I hadn't gone back to 1955 - for more than one reason. It's all because of how I went back to 1955, that we now have a film."

"Hey, Marty, don't hog up all the credit," teased Joanna. "I think you do have to take that back to when Doc hit his head on the sink, and he sure came up with the idea for the flux capacitor - which is what makes time travel possible. He needs credit, too."

"I guess you're right," Marty replied, blushing. "I guess I was just thinking about what all I had to go through, only to insure my existence. I mean, that week sure wasn't all fun and games. It really would be a lie to say that I didn't enjoy any of it, but it was a lot of work for me to go through. Then again, I suppose Doc also had a lot of work."

"You both have really worked hard," Jennifer commented, gently. "You know, Joanna and Elizabeth, you sure have a lot of knowledge of the 20th Century. I mean, I really can imagine how much of a culture shock in can be - going forward by five centuries."

"Well, it's been over a year," explained Joanna. "The boys have introduced us to the great world of film. They sure are much better than plays. Back when we came from, it was considered improper for woman to be in plays. I just don't think that was fair."

"That is bogus," agreed Bill. "I always felt it was totally heinous to discriminate people by gender. Woman can be real excellent actors! Lea Thompson is the most bodacious actress, and so is Justine Bateman. I think it is outstanding that Lea Thompson will be starring in the film. Crispin Glover is a resplendent actor, and so is Jason Bateman."

"I think Jason Bateman was a neat choice," Jennifer comment, "for the alien. Even to this day, Marty's parents don't know who 'Calvin Klein' really was. Marty's mom would probably be quite horrified, if she found that that she was hitting on her own son. I'd better get to the coffee cake, now. I think it's about time to start making breakfast."

As Jennifer headed to the kitchen, Marty thought of how excited he was. It felt quite surreal to think that the very same people who played Marty's parents on Back to the Future, would be playing the couple on A Match Made in Space. It was a must-see.
