Chapter 7:

Marty had walked into Doc's lab at around 8:30 the next morning. Doc was tinkering away on something as usual. Little Einstein greeted Marty at the door. He jumped up on his leg and demanded to be pet. Marty laughed and crouched down to pet the dog.

"Marty? Is that you?"

"Yeah, Doc," he called, picking up the little dog as he stood back up, "Is Nix awake?"

"I don't believe so," Doc said, "Isn't it a bit early?"

"Yeah," Marty pet the little dog before setting him down on a chair, "Well, one of the band mates called me this morning to say he only had till two to rehearse before tonight. Something about a family gathering he had said."

"Ah. Marty, are you sure about doing this?"

"Positive. Nix is determined about it. Speaking of Nix," Marty walked over to where the drawing table was Doc was working, "What would happen if, I dunno, some time traveler kinda started to like a person from another time era…?"

"Are you saying you like Nicole?"

"I'm not saying that. I'm saying 'what if' someone were to like someone from another era?"

"It would probably mess up the whole space time continuum. Completely whipe the two lovers from existence and ruin their whole future, as well as everyone else that they knew. Does that answer your question?"

"That's heavy, and yeah, it does," Marty said, "Well, I'm going to go wake her up. We gotta be over at Rob's house at 9 to rehearse."

"Do what you must," Doc said, not even bothering to look up from his work.

Marty walked up the stairs to the second floor with little Einstein trailing behind him. He had walked to the last door in the hallway where Nix was sleeping soundly. The door was cracked open ever so slightly. Marty was about to knock on the door when little Einstein opened the door with his nose and bounded in, jumping onto the bed where Nix lay. Marty couldn't help but chuckle at the dog who began to lick her face.

Nix stirred awake to see the puppy licking her forehead. She smiled sleepily and patted his head.

"Morning to you too, Einie," she said tiredly.

"Morning," Marty said.

She sat up and took the puppy in her arms before looking at Marty with a smile.

"Morning. I thought you said ten?"

"Yeah, well it wasn't my fault that one of the guys had a family thing at two. So we had to push everything an hour back. Sorry to awaken you."

She smiled, "No big deal."

Marty smiled and leaned on the door frame, "How much time do you need? Twenty minutes or a half hour?"

She smiled, "Funny. Give me five minutes, ok?"

"Wow, girls in the future take less time? Shocker."

"No, they take longer. But if you live in a house with all guys, you learn to stop caring half the time."

Marty smiled, "Want me to take Einstein?"

"Doesn't matter," she shrugged.

"Well, I'll meet you downstairs."

"Good deal," she smiled.

Marty couldn't help but to smile at her, "Good deal."

He gave her one last smile before backtracking out the door, shutting it behind him. Once the door clicked into place, she couldn't help but swoon. Oh my god, those blue eyes are to die for! She thought.

Nix got off the bed and little Einstein decided to curl up on the pillow. She giggled and quickly put on the clothes she found that night. She looked at her new 80's self in the mirror. Something about them, just made Nix feel… complete. She put her hair up in a halfass pony tail before slipping on her flip flops.

"How do I look?" she asked the puppy.

Einstein lifted his head and looked at Nix. He jumped up and began to wag his tail, barking happily.

"I take that as a good thing," she smiled and picked the puppy up from the bed, "Let's go, Einie."

Nix took the dog and walked downstairs back into the lab where the guys were talking. She cuddled with the puppy before putting him down in the lab. Marty looked at Nix and smiled.

"The 80's looks good on you," he said, nodding approvingly.

"Ya think so?" she asked.

"Hell yeah," he smiled.

"Well, you two good luck on tonight's performance of music and celebration," Doc said hurrying the two out of the lab.

"Sure, Doc," they said.

"Oh and Marty?"

"Yeah, Doc?" Marty asked.

"Remember what I told you about falling in love with people from different eras."

"Right, Doc," he said before he and Nix left the house.

(A/N: I apologize for the short chapter. I dunno, this is probably just a filler, but it also has some information for the future of this story. Ha, see what I did there? Yeah me either… well, the next chapter should be longer.)
