Jennifer was nervously waiting with anticipation, as she knew that today was Marty's seventeenth birthday. However, she knew that Marty wanted to spend several hours with his family. The two of them even had plans to attend the concert by Huey Lewis and The News in concert, which happened to a favourite band of both of them.

"Jennifer, honey?" Josie Parker called out. "Your dad and I have a wedding to attend. We probably won't be home until late tonight. I hope and and Marty have fun."

"Thank you, Mom!" Jennifer replied, as she threw her arms around her mother. "We have been dating for a little over a year and a half, now. I truly believe that the two of us are destined to marry, someday. He is such a sweetheart, you know."

"Don't rush yourself, honey," Josie said, as she kissed Jennifer on the cheek. "Your dad and I want you to make sure you enjoy your youth, while you still have it. Just take good care of yourself, and try not to stay up too late. I love you, honey!"

"I love you, too, Mom!" Jennifer replied. "I really hope you and Dad have fun at the wedding! I really hope they let you bring home some wedding cake or me."

"I'll see what we can do, honey," Josie said, as she began to head outside.

After Jennifer's parents left, she turned the living room stereo onto her favourite rock station, KKHV. She began to imagine the big wedding she would have with Marty. The wedding dress would be silky smooth and snowy white, and it would be complete with a veil. Her close cousin, Sarah, would be the maid of honour. It would be...

Just then, the doorbell rang, jolting Jennifer awake from her fantasy. She answered the door - and there stood Marty McFly, her beloved. She started to throw her arms around Marty, and held him tightly. He was even wearing some cologne.

"Happy birthday, Marty!" Jennifer cried out, as she threw her arms around Marty.

"Thank you, Jennifer!" Marty replied, softly. "I can hardly believe that I'm only one year away from being eighteen. It's hard to believe that I'm almost an adult."

"Mom says that we should enjoy our youth, while we can," Jennifer pointed out. "It is a little scary to think how we'll be entering our last year of high school. In a way, the idea of adulthood is a little scary. It will mean many more responsibilities."

"Yeah, but we won't have to put up with Strickland, anymore," Marty said, sighing. "I will be happy to never have to see his face, again. He's always been mean to me."

"I don't think Strickland actually likes anyone," Jennifer replied, softly. "Well, let's just enjoy our summer vacation. Anyway, we're going to see Huey Lewis and The News in concert, tonight. Isn't that great? We can see our favourite band!"

"Thank you so much, Jenn!" Marty said, warmly. "This is the best birthday present I could ever ask for. So you said your parents have a wedding to go to?"

"That's right," Jennifer said, smiling. "I was initially bothered that I wasn't invited, as I happen to be very fond of weddings. However, it's quite nice that we can see Huey Lewis in concert. I sure enjoy this new song he released, called The Power of Love!"

"Yeah, that song certainly rocks!" Marty replied, smiling. "I was even thinking that our band could do a rendition of that song. We could maybe record a demo."

"You really do have a lot of talent, Marty," Jennifer said, admiringly. "I don't quite want to set your hopes up too high, but I also believe you might have potential of being discovered. You may want to change your band's name, though."

"Naa," Marty replied, as he smiled and shook his head. "I mean, if The Simple Minds can make it - then I am quite sure that The Pinheads can make it, too. Anyway, that is our little jab at Strickland. Now, calling ourselves 'The Slackers' would be a bit too obvious, and it might just get us into a lot of trouble with that man."

"Yeah, that you don't want to risk," Jennifer replied. "Well, I guess you sure do have a point. So, Marty, do you think we might be able to meet Huey Lewis tonight?"

"Well, there might be a little meet and greet," Marty said, smiling. "Even if we don't get to meet him, though - it'll be nice seeing them live, just you and me together."

oooooooooo

After the concert was over, Marty and Jennifer went to look at posters. Marty had a hard time deciding which poster he wanted. They all looked so nice.

"Have a hard time deciding, Marty?" Jennifer asked, coyly. "I can afford to buy one for each of us. We can each pick a diferent poster. I could buy you another one for Christmas, too. Anyway, we don't want your bedroom to look cluttered, do you?"

"Well, my bedroom isn't the cleanest to begin with," Marty replied, sheepishly. "You know, I think I'll just get the Sports poster with Huey on it. It would look really nice on my bedroom wall, and it is my absolute favourite album. How does that sound?"

"I can do that," Jennifer said, smiling. "Anyway, I really did enjoy it when Huey and his band had performed The Power of Love. We could even make that our song."

Marty smiled at his girlfriend, and replied, "That's a wonderful idea, Jenn. We could maybe even have that song played at our wedding. It's a rocking romantic tune!"

"Yeah, why don't we go purchase the posters and the EPs?" Jennifer suggested. "This might sound real funny, but I almost feel that The Power of Love was actually written for us. Of course, that would be silly - because we don't even know Huey Lewis."

"No, I understand what you mean," Marty replied, smiling. "It's really a shame that we didn't get to meet him tonight. Well, it's rather possible that we would meet him some other time. Anyway, this was such a nice birthday treat for me. Thank you!"

"You're very welcome!" Jennifer gushed. "What do you think the future generation of kids will be saying about Huey Lewis and The News? Do you think they'll live on?"

"Well, I would like to think so," Marty replied, after pausing a moment. "I would like to think that rock and roll will live on and vappeal to future generations. They might not be as big as The Beatles, though - or even Led Zeppelin. They're still good!"

"Okay, then," Jennifer replied, smiling. "Why don't we stop by A&W for some bacon cheeseburgers, after we purchase these posters. We'll keep them in this bag."

"Sounds good," Marty replied, as he and Jennifer went to the counter to pay.

oooooooooo

Later that night, Marty taped up the Sports Poster to the wall next to his window. He smiled, as he admired how lovely that poster looked. It was really a special present from his lovely girlfriend. This was one of the best nights of his life.

Marty then popped in the new EP by Huey Lewis and The News, which included songs like The Power of Love and Back In Time. Marty flopped onto his bed and relaxed.

As Marty enjoyed the music, he began to fantasize about his future with Jennifer. He had no idea that this would be the year that would eventually change his entire life.
