Calvin McFly felt a sense of pride, as he slowly read over the report that he wrote on the environment. As he recalled, he earned an A on the report - and his teacher sure was impressed. He thought about his twin, Marty - and how Marty simply opted to do a report on rock music. He felt that his twin cared a little too much about rock music.

Calvin thought of how lucky he was, to have the family that he did. His parents were quite loving and supportive, and they often did things together. Most of the time, he got along well with Dave and Linda. Then, of course, there was his beloved twin.

He was very close to Lloyd Hathaway - and both he and Marty were very close to Dr. Emmett Brown, the local scientist. However, Marty really was his best friend of all. As far back as he could quite remember, he and his twin did almost everything together.

Tomorrow, Calvin and Marty would be turning seventeen - and Calvin was so excited for the day. He smiled, as he thought of how his parents were sure planning to make tomorrow be a special day. His father, George, had suggested having a barbecue. It made his mouth water, as he thought of the hamburgers that his father would grill.

He felt a sense of pride, as he thought of how George and Lorraine were the epitome of a happily married couple. There never was a time, when he quite worried about his parents getting divorced. Even after nearly thirty years, they were still much in love.

One story that Calvin sure loved, was the way that his parents met. While there was a bit of skepticism, there was another part of him who wished to believe that an alien named Darth Vader really did unite his parents. He felt that it was such a cool story.

Calvin thought of the novel that his father would be published later that year. It felt real strange to think that he was actually named after the mysterious visitor that his parents knew in 1955. His twin sort of was, too - as Calvin Klein simply liked to be be called "Marty". His twin was also named after their great-great-granduncle, though.

In all honesty, Calvin didn't really know too much about their ancestors. He knew that his middle name, William, was the same as that of his great-grandfather. From all that he recalled, he knew that William was the first McFly to be born in the United States.

He suddenly realized that William was born a whole century ago! It felt quite strange, thinking that his ancestors have lived in Hill Valley for so long. He wondered if Seamus and Maggie had a hard time leaving Ireland. It seemed like such a big step to take.

Of course, the idea of reaching adulthood seemed scary enough. Of course, he was looking so forward to taking the next step - but it would be a lie to say that he didn't feel any apprehension. Calvin had always been the adventurous sort of person, but he really feared losing the security of childhood. Still, he had one more year to go.

Calvin pulled out a photo album, as he glanced as pictures of days from when he and Marty were younger. As he thought back to all the family trips that they went on, he realized how lucky he actually was. He had so many fond memories to look back on.

Calvin thought of what it would be like, if he had a different family. What if his father hadn't been so confident, and his mother hadn't been so supportive? It seemed quite hard to imagine his parents being different. He just had so much pride in his parents.

He knew some people at school, who weren't quite so fortunate - and his heart went out to them. He even heard some rather horrible stories on the news, about parents who would do terrible things to their own flesh and blood. It make Calvin feel sad, as he thought of these poor children. It was something that just upset Calvin the most.

Calvin had done about a dozen reports within the last school year about issues that he felt needed to be addressed. While he usually tried to remain optimistic, he quite believed in working to make the world become a much better place for humankind.

Calvin ran across a picture of him and Marty - wth their cousin, Brent. They were sure close. It seemed strange to think that Brent was born in Viet Nam, where Milton was a war soldier. Milton met Susan in Viet Nam, and they were married for sixteen years.

He thought about Joey, who was thrown in jail ten years ago. Calvin never knew his uncle very well, but he felt that the rest of the family could be too hard on him. That was, except for Lorraine. Calvin always admired how his mother simply cared for her baby brother, and never gave up on him. It was the kind of devotion that he loved.

There was Toby, whose company Calvin has always enjoyed. He was a firm believer of making the world be a better place, and he just embodied the grassroot values of the hippie era. He and Barbara had three adorable childen: Tracey, Brian, and Lori.

Sally was a wonderful aunt, and she was always quite fond of small children. In fact, she and Frank had two lovely girls of their own: Katrina and Wendy. He just felt that the girls were kind. He admired how Sally decided to teach at an elementary school.

Ellen was the youngest. It actually seemed strange to think that she was only twelve years old, when he and Marty were born. He remembered how Ellen used to babysat the two of them, when they were smaller. She was always quite fun to have around, and he sort missed the days. These days, she was in love with a man named Robert.

He didn't really have any cousins on his father's side of the family, being that George was an only child. It was up to him, Marty, and Dave to carry on the McFly name. He wondered what his future children would be like. Would he even be a good father?

Calvin certainly didn't feel as though he was ready for fatherhood. He figured that, in time, he would be able to handle the responsibility of raising a family. He didn't feel as though it would be anytime soon, though. For now, he didn't even have a girlfriend.

He smiled to himself, as he began to ponder over his dreams of becoming a football player. He was quite more athletic than his twin, and he was considered one of the top players on his school team. He sure loved watching the Super Bowl, even if the 49ers didn't make it. He figured that the day was almost as special as Christmas.

Even if he never became a professional football player, he was determined to have a successful life. He thought of how his twin wasn't as excited about attending college, and he wondered if Marty was maybe being a little unrealistic about his career goals.

Calvin couldn't help but feel concerned for his twin. He knew how Marty had some real difficulty with being called a name - and it had, on more than a few occasions, actually gotten Marty into trouble. Calvin couldn't quite understand why Marty cared so much.

For the most part, Douglas Needles left Calvin alone - probably because Calvin wasn't as easy to harass. With Marty, though, it just seemed as though Needles could never resist an opportunity to challenge him on something. There were sure plenty of times, when Calvin wished to give Needles a piece of his mind. He couldn't stand the bully.

Calvin figured that it was best to say nothing, though. After all, the last thing he sure wished to do - was to make things even harder on his twin. He tried to remember how long it was, that Needles had been harassing Marty. It seemed like a long time ago.

For the most part, Calvin and Marty were real well-liked in school. After all, both were very friendly and outgoing. For over a year and a half, Marty was dating a girl named Jennifer Parker. Calvin could almost swear that the two were destined for marriage.

He felt a lot of regret, as he recalled his initial reaction to his twin dating Jennifer. He reacted with jealousy over the whole situation. It wasn't that he wanted Jennifer for himself. He was just afraid of losing his best friend. It really seemed as though Marty no longer wanted to do things with his twin. Calvin felt as if he was being replaced.

In all honesty, though, Calvin felt somewhat bad over not having a girlfriend. Most of the time, he managed to convince himself that he didn't care. There was still a part of him, though, who worried about being a bachelor. He wanted to have a family, too.

Calvin dreamed of having an interesting "how we met" story to tell. It sure was hard to beat the story of how his parents met, though - unless he also quite happened to meet an alien. Still, when all was said and done, that wasn't what was important.

Calvin realized that he should soon be heading to bed. As he began to change into his fleece pajamas, he thought of what tomorrow would be like. It felt very scary to think that he was just a year away from adulthood. He had rather mixed feelings about the whole thing. The thought of taking a step into the real world made him feel nervous.

Realizing that it was clear night, Calvin switched off the light. After allowing his eyes to quite adjust to the dark, he quietly walked over to the window. He gazed out into the starry night sky, and was mesmorized by the beauty. He felt such tranquility.

He thought of what the next year of his life would hold. It really seemed scary to think that, by this time next year, he will have graduated from high school. The very idea of graduation made him feel nervous. He really hoped to become the class valedictorian.

If Calvin could make one wish, he wasn't sure of what it would be. He couldn't think of anything that he wanted or needed, that he didn't already have. Well, other than the fact that it would be very nice to find that one special girl. Still, even if it never was to pass within the next year, he figured that it would be a year of great opportunities.
