10:00 AM PST
Marty '86 stretched his arms, as he woke up the next morning. He had slept in the same room as Jennifer and Haven. Jules and Verne had slept with Marty '75 in the room that was always Marty's, and Marty '05 slept in the guest room. He was very glad that Jennifer didn't insist on sleeping with both him and Marty '05.
"Hey, wake up, you sleepyheads!" Marty '75 called out, with Jules and Verne beside him. "Mommy is making coffee cake for breakfast this morning! She just told me to come get out. Uncle Calvin said that he would take us rollerskating today!"
"All right! All right!" Marty '86 said, sighing. "I'm getting up, now. It smells like great coffee cake that your mother is baking. How long have you boys been up? I do wish I could be as young as you boys. Being an adult isn't all that it's cracked up to be."
"We've been up since around seven," Marty '75 explained. "So, is your name Marty, too? Mommy and Daddy says that Calvin Klein liked to be called Marty. You're quite a good-looking guy! I hope to look as good as you, when I become your age!"
Oh, you have no idea! Marty '86 thought to himself. He glanced over at Jules and Verne, as he could see that they were trying hard to stifle their laughter. With sudden instict, he grabbed his younger self, and hugged Marty '75 tightly. It really did feel strange to be hugging his younger self, but it also felt rather nice.
"I think you'll always look good, Marty," Marty '86 replied. He suddenly felt guilty, as he realized how vain those words may have sounded. As far as his younger self was concerned, though, Marty '85 might just as well be an entirely different person.
"Thank you, uh, Marty," Marty '75 replied, warmly. "Gee, it sure feels like I'm talking to myself," he added, with nervous laughter. "You know, I feel almost as if you and I are, uh, connected. It's a little hard to explain. Hugging you feels so natural to me."
"Don't worry, pumpkin," Marty '86 said, laughing. "I know exactly what you mean. I have to get dressed right now, though. I can join you boys at the roller rink later on today. Why don't you go run along, now - and play with Tom and Jerry?"
As Marty '75 ran off with Jules and Verne, Marty '86 smiled to himself. He began to realize how much he missed being a young kid. He noticed that Jennifer and Haven were beginning to stretch their arms. Marty '86 felt quite awake and alert, now - as he began to reach into his suitcase for some clothes. He was also feeling hungry.
oooooooooo
"So, have you rollerskated before?" Marty '75 asked Tom and Jerry, as Uncle Calvin drove them to the roller rink, using the family car. "Mommy takes me every week. I usually go there on Tuesday nights, with all of my friends. We have lots of fun."
"Oh, we've rollerskated plenty of times," Tom replied. "I think it's really fun to do the Hokey-Pokey. I like doing the limbo, as well. I still have yet to win the limbo contest, though. I think part of it is because I'm a bit taller than many other kids my age."
"I'm the shortest kid in class," Marty '75 commented, with envy. "I guess it works to my advantage at time. I've won the limbo contest quite a few times. You boys really should meet my best friend, Zach. He's a real nice boy, and the two of us have a lot of stuff in common. He really enjoys music about as much as I do."
"Here we are, boys!" Calvin announced, as he pulled into a parking space. "You can have twelve tokens each for snacks and Atari games. I was thinking we can maybe have a pizza for lunch. I'm guess you boys like just cheese on your pizza, right?"
The three little boys cheered, as Marty '75 was feeling real excited. He just couldn't figure out what it was - but he felt as if he was somehow connected to Calvin Klein, as well as Marty Lewis. It rather felt like a connection he never felt towards anyone else, not even towards his friends or his family. He couldn't figure out why.
"It's nice to see you here, Marty!" called out Zach Nelson, as he ran up to Marty. "So who are these boys that you're with? I'm quite sure I've never met them before! Are they some cousins of yours? I sure don't get to see my cousins as often as I'd like."
"My name is Jerry Lewis," Jerry explained, "and this is my little brother, Tom. We're not really cousins of Marty. We're actually more like, uh, friends of the family. It's a great pleasure to meet you, Zach. We're just staying here for about a week."
"Tom and Jerry, eh?" Zach asked, with a warm smile. "I'm a very big fan of the cat and mouse cartoon. Mommy and Daddy used to watch that cartoon, too, when they were about my age. I really wish that our cat would get along with mice, too."
Marty '75, along with Tom and Jerry, laughed. He managed to read just about every Tom and Jerry book there was, as well as watched almost every episode. It was too strange how his new friends were named Tom and Jerry. Their parents sure may be fans of the cartoon series, too. He really did love the concept of talking animals.
oooooooooo
"What all did you find out from Doc?" Sabrina asked - as she drove Marty, Jennifer, and Haven to the roller rink. "You know, it's rather strange that I've met two of you about seven years ago - and the two of you haven't really aged since."
"It was six months ago from our end," Jennifer replied. "I don't time travel as much as Marty does. The first time I travelled through time, my experience was scary. To make a long story short, I was stuck in this alternate reality where Biff Tannen was very powerful and corrupt. So I do tend to be very leary about time travelling."
"Apparently, our time machines occupied the same place," Marty '86 added, "as we entered the year. So that must've been what shorted out the circuits. We had plans to stay here until next week Wednesday, and I sure hope Doc can fix the machines by then. I still can't believe that my older self had shown up in this year, too."
"I went on my first time travel adventure about one year ago," explained Haven. "I actually went back in time to witness my birth. They did not let me into the delivery room, though. I've always been quite proud of when I was born, though."
"That was a great surprise to, uh, her mother," Marty '86 added. "I'm sure it felt real strange for her to meet her daughter because she was even born. Heck, it's a rather surreal experience for Jennifer and I to actually meet our own kids before they were even conceived - much less born. It's ten years away before Marlene is born."
"It's really hard to believe," Jennifer added, sighing. "Well, we don't know the exact birthdates of our children - and, Haven, it's probably best that you not tell us. It will be very tempting to want to find out, though. I'm getting the creeps now."
"The last time I saw you and Marty," Sabrina pointed out, "you also had a chance to be able to witness your own birth. Haven, out of curiosity, when were you born? Did you, by any chance, happen to be born on the same day as Queen Victoria?"
"Nope!" Haven replied, as a smile tugged at her lips. "Even better! I was born on the 31st anniversary of the famous Hill Valley lightning storm. What more, I was born at 10:04 PM. That's the truth! I probably shouldn't tell you who my father is, though."
"I'm gonna take a pretty wild guess here," Sabrina said, slowly. "I'm guessing that your father's Dr. Emmett Brown. Am I correct?" After Haven nodded, Sabrina then added, "I guessed, as you look like Clara Clayton - who I know Doc'll marry, back during the Old West. I can also figure out who Tom and Jerry really are."
"Whoa, you know all of that?" Haven gasped, stunned. "I guess you already know the answer, then. I suppose you've never told Dad about any of this, though, right? After all, knowing too much about your own destiny could really be risky on the space-time continuum. I know Dad wishes to put the time machines away permanently, when we return. I understand where he's coming from, but I still feel rather bad about it."
"What about Marty Jr and Harmony?" Jennifer asked, as she realized something. "I believe it was early 2016, when the two got their hands on the time machine. After Doc puts the time machines away permanently - that can create a time paradox of some sort. As much as I understand his concerns, he may want to reconsider."
"Actually, Jenn," Marty '86 interjected, "I remember how Marty Jr and Harmony did explain that they found out about the time machines from sneaking into the lab. So maybe the timeline is intact. It is quite possible that Haven and my older self might have temporal amnesia, upon returning to the year 2006. It's just my theory."
"I'm not sure what you mean by temporal amnesia," Haven said, confused. "Does that mean we'll forget about this trip, too? I don't want to forget about this trip, as that would defeat the whole purpose of why we came here. I want to remember!"
"I'm sure you won't forget this trip," Marty '86 replied, laughing. "It's hard to explain, and Doc's the expert at this. I don't think you have to worry." He looked around, and he added, "We're at the roller rink! Let's all head inside and have some fun, now!"
As the gang cheered and headed inside, Marty '86 couldn't help but feel nervous. He suddenly caught sight of his older self and his younger self, with Jules and Verne. Of course, the kids were all skipping with excitement. He then noticed how Zach Nelson had joined the crowd. He sure resembled Aaron Nelson, one of Marty Jr's friends.
