2:00 PM PST
Marty and Jennifer were in the living room with their future visitors, listening to music on the stereo, when Doc came into the living room to check upon them.
'How are you kids all doing?' Doc asked, smiling. 'I'm going to be out in the garage fixing the windshield of the time machine, in case you need anything. I'm hoping to be able to send you guys back home by Friday. In the meantime, why don't you guys make some plans of how you want to spend your time here? Also, Haven is in the other room, sleeping. When she wakes up, give her a bottle. It's in the refrigerator.'
'We will, Doc,' replied Marty. Then, turning to his future visitors, Marty asked, 'So what would you guys like to do this week? You'll probably be here until next Friday.'
'Well, I really would like to explore the town,' replied Harmony. 'I mean, the 1980s have always been my favourite decade - and I really would like to be able to do whatever it is that teenagers do during this era. Maybe we could go rollerskating.'
'Well, there is one problem with this,' Marty said, gently. 'One of you looks just like me, while another one of you looks just like Jennifer. We would have great difficulty with explaining where our doubles came from. Although, there is a way around this.'
'Oh, how so?' Harmony asked, excitedly. 'In what way do you mean, Marty?'
'Well, maybe we could go someplace out of town,' Marty suggested. 'Maybe we could see if there's a party going on outside of town, where people don't know us.'
'Well, actually,' Jennifer suggested, 'I was checking through this book, and I found a rollerskating and swim party that we could attend. It takes place about two hours from here, in Orange Valley. Nobody there knows who we are, so we could go there.'
'That sounds like a great idea!' Harmony exclaimed, perking up. 'Can we go?'
'Yeah, I really would like to go, too,' added Melody. 'We could certainly stand to have some fun, especially after all that happened yesterday. When is the party?'
'Well, we would have to talk to Doc about this first,' Marty informed everyone. 'I do love the idea, myself. We'll have to think of what to call ourselves, though.'
'I could use the name Calvin,' suggested Marty Jr. 'That was the name you used when you were stuck in 1955 for a week, right? We could act like we're twins.'
'Yeah, I guess we could use the names Martin and Calvin,' Marty said, smiling. 'We'll have to think of what last name to use. Maybe we could use the last name McCoy.'
'Martin and Calvin McCoy,' Marty Jr said, slowly. 'I love it! It has a nice ring to it!'
'Say, Jamie,' suggested Melody, 'maybe you and I should swap names. You can be Melody, and I'll be Jamie. Melody goes better with Harmony, while Jamie goes better with Jennifer. I guess my future mom and I could pretend to be twins, as well.'
'Yeah, I like the idea,' Jennifer said, smiling. 'I think it would be nice to have a twin.'
'Say, Jamie,' Melody asked her friend, 'do you mind being Melody for a while?'
'Oh, I would love to be Melody,' Jamie said, smiling. 'It's such a nice name.'
'Maybe we could be Harmony and Melody Green,' suggested Harmony, nodding.
'Can I still be Marlene?' Marlene asked. 'Maybe we could use the last name Baines.'
Jennifer turned to Marty, and she asked, 'That's your mother's maiden name, right?'
'That's correct,' replied Marty. 'Well, I guess that could work. We'll have to run this by Doc first, though. So, Jennifer, on what day does the party take place?'
'It takes place tomorrow,' replied Jennifer. 'Rollerskating is from noon until five, and swimming is from five until ten. Supper takes place in the roller rink at four.'
oooooooooo
'So kids,' called out Doc, 'what do you want to eat for supper tonight? How do stuffed shells and garlic bread sound. I know it's Marty's and Jennifer's favourite meal.'
'It's my favourite meal, too,' Marty Jr said, excitedly. 'Say, Doc, I was wondering if we could go to a party in Orange Valley tomorrow. It's two hours away, and I don't think anyone there knows my parents. We really would like to attend tthe party.'
Doc was silent for about a minute, then he said, 'Sure, I guess that won't be a big problem. That'll give you guys something to do. You'll have to think of different names to use, though. You'll at least have to use a different last name.'
'Yeah, Doc,' Marty said, nodding. 'we already thought of that. My son is planning to be Calvin, and we plan to use the last name McCoy. We could say that we're twins.'
'Well then,' Doc said, smiling, 'I can see you've certainly put a lot of thought into this. So how long does the party last? You guys can use my station wagon, if you'd like.'
'We plan to leave at about ten in the morning,' explained Marty, 'and we should be home at around midnight. I just think our future offspring should have some fun.'
'Well, I am concerned about one thing,' Doc said, gently. 'Monday is a school day. You're not going to be late for school, are you? I mean, it does seem pretty late.'
'Oh, no, Doc,' Marty assured his older friend. 'I've been on time for school since January. I don't want Ms. Coleman to put me through that torment again, you know.'
'What kind of torment?' Harmony asked, with curiosity. 'Your son seems to have the same problem with being late for school. I guess he really is a lot like you.'
'She made me come over to her house,' Marty said, cringing, 'so that she can tickle the soles of my feet for two hours. It was two hours of unbearable torment.'
'I know what you mean, Dad,' Marty Jr said, nodding in agreement. 'Unfortunately, the girls find it so much fun to tickle my feet. It's like they enjoy making me suffer.'
'Naaa,' Harmony said, smiling. 'We just love to make you laugh helplessly. We just love the way you laugh when we tickle the soles of your feet. It's so much fun.'
'Yeah, face it, Marty,' Melody added. 'It's just fun to make you laugh helplessly.'
'Oh, you girls are too much to me,' Marty Jr said, cringing. 'Say, I wonder if your Ms. Coleman is related to Mr. Coleman. He fired me on the day we went back in time.'
'What?' gasped Harmony, stunned. 'How can you get fired? Marty, what did you do?'
'I'm sorry, Harmony,' Marty Jr said, blushing. 'I put some of the pink hair dye that I bought for youin his shampoo, so that his hair would turn into a bight shade of hot pink. I did it as a joke, and I thought he would never find out it was me.'
'Marty!' gasped Harmony, horrified. 'How can you do that? You are almost an adult. You need to take your job seriously, if you ever hope to make a decent living.'
'Don't yell at me, Harmony,' Marty Jr pleaded, as he began to cry. 'I'm sorry, okay? Please don't be mad at me! I promise, this won't happen again. I learned my lesson.'
'Just calm down, Marty,' Harmony said, softly. 'I'm not mad at you, okay? I'm just really concerned for you, that's all. Now, please, just stop crying. I'll help you.'
Doc then winked at Marty, as he teased, 'Yeap, Marty! Your son is just like you!'
'You know,' Marty suggested, 'Maybe I should warn my son about this prank, so that he doesn't get fired. It shouldn't be too disasterous to the space-time continuum.'
'I see what you mean,' Doc said, gently. 'Although, what if his being fired led to them travelling into this time. If we interfere with them coming back here, it could create a time paradox, the results of which could cause a chain reaction that would unravel the very fabric of the space-time continuum and destroy the entire universe.'
'Whoa, Doc, this is heavy!' gasped Marty. 'I guess I have no choice other than to allow it to happen, then. I guess my son will have to learn his lesson the hard way.'
Just then, Marty Jr stopped crying, as Harmony hugged him tightly. Marty wondered if his future son and Harmony were fated to get married, someday. He wondered if they would end up having a son, Marty the Third. Then Marty tried to brush the thought aside, as he realized he was looking too far ahead in the future.
