Marty Brown

The next morning Marty B. was the first one awake, after Doc, that is. He decided to just go get it over with and to tell him that him and Emma were dating. He knew Doc was awake because he heard a hammering sound coming from his garage and a few whizzing noises with a good helping of crashes along with it.

"Morning Grandpa. What cha working on?" he asked, easing in with light conversation.

Doc wasn't expecting anybody to be up at 6:30 and he jumped and dropped his hammer on his foot.

"Yow! What in the name of Sir Isaac H. Newton was that for?!" he yelled as he jumped around, holding his foot.

"Oops, sorry! You ok?" he asked.

"Yeah, I'll be fine," Doc said, limping back over to his work bench, "What can I do for you? Don't you know how early it is right now?"

"Well, see, I need to talk to you about something," he started. He was encouraged by a nod from his Grandpa.

"I'm dating Emma!" he said in a rush, just wanting to get it over with, "We were going to tell you at Marty's party in the future, but that's when we got stuck back here. We had been sneaking around, so we decided to tell you now instead of later. So in the future you guys already know so it was never really a secret in the first place then…or was it? I don't know…"

Doc, to say the least, was proud of Marty. Not only did he have the courage to confess that he knew what he was doing was wrong, but he was also thinking like a scientist. This said to Doc that he knew how to take responsibility for his actions and was willing to make amends and that maybe, just maybe, he'd follow in Doc's footsteps as a scientist.

"Thank you for letting me know that. This will make things easier for you in the future and then you won't go sneaking around. And it also tells me that you know how to think fourth dimensionally! Can you try teaching that to the other Marty? He seems hopeless at figuring that kind of thing out," said Doc, half kidding and half serious.

Marty laughed and said with a smirk, "Sure Grandpa, I'll tell him you said that. I'm sure that'll go over real well."



Doc rolled his eyes. What was with teenagers? Were the all trying to make his life more difficult? When he realized Marty was only kidding, he gave him a shove off the work bench. Both of them started laughing.

Emma McFly

"Morning Marty," said Emma cheerfully, "Have you seen Marty and Doc? Marty's spot was empty when I woke up."

"They're both outside in the garage. I heard them go out early this morning. I think Doc is working on the lightning rods for the DeLoreans. You ready for dinner at my Mom's house tonight?" said Marty.

"Yeah, but I'm just really worried, you know? Like what if I screw up and we all become erased?" she asked in a fearful tone.

"Hey, don't worry! You'll be ok. At least you're just going as friends with her. I might have to take her myself if I can't convince George when I try tonight," said Marty.

"What if we don't succeed?" she asked.

"We have to. We can't just back out!" he said, trying to encourage her.

"I hope so…but what about Biff? I don't want him touching me or Lorraine or hurting anyone. I can't just let him get to me, but he's so much bigger than me! Look, now I'm talking to myself!" she cried, "But, if you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything, right?" she asked, wiping her eyes.

"Hey, hey, of course it'll be alright!" he said, giving her a hug to calm her down, "We'll all get through this, ok?"

"Ok. I know we can do it," she said, already feeling empowered by those famous words.

"Where did you hear that line? You know: if you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything?" he asked.

"In the future, you say it all the time. So does Doc. Where did you hear it?" she answered.

"Well I heard it from Doc too. Maybe I can get my Dad to live by those words one day. You saw how he was at school, but hopefully he'll figure it out," he said.

"Oh! We're late for school!" she yelled, looking at Doc's kitchen clock.

"Damn! Let's go get Marty and get out of here!" he said.



And with that, they all ran to school and had to serve a detention with none other than Mr. Strickland himself. Apparently they were all a bunch of slackers.
