Chapter 17:

Alex had walked Nix all the way home. They had planed out their entire night together. The classic date; dinner, movie, and of course getting to know each other. Alex had finally dropped Nix off at her house and he had walked home, gitty with happiness. Before he had left, Nix told him she'd be over at his house around 6. Alex wanted to do the classic date, him picking her up, but she insisted she'd be over at his house.

Nix ran into the house and up to her room. As she ran, she almost ran right into Dane.

"Whoa, calm down there, speed racer," Dane said.

"Sorry, there's a lot of stuff I gotta do!" she tried to run past her brother, but he picked her up and carried her into his room.

He threw her on his bed and crossed his arms, "What's goin on?"

"Nothing," she shrugged.

"Liar! Dad told me all about you and Alex."

"Dad!" she yelled.

Dane rolled his eyes, "We're all very happy for you. But if that boy hurts you in anyway, we'll destroy this boy."

"Dane, be nice," she said.

"But seriously, we all look out for you," Dane said.

"Hey, Dane, wanna go on a trip with me?" Nix asked.

"What kinda trip?"

"Who's are favorite band ever?"

"The Blues Brothers…?" he asked confused.

"Wanna go to a concert?"

Dane laughed, "Impossible. You've been hanging around Doc too much."

"Or I got my hands on one of his inventions," and with that, Nix walked out of Dane's room.

She had an evil smile as she walked down the hallway, counting down the seconds till Dane popped his head back out of his room. 5, 4, 3, 2,-

"Nix!"

She smiled and turned back around, "What?"

"What are you talking about?" he asked.

"Meet me by the shed in five minutes," she said in a low tone, "Change your clothes for the 80's."

Dane gave her a weird look and walked back into his room. Nix smiled and skipped into her room happily.

OoOoO oOoOo OoOoO oOoOo OoOoO OoOoO oOoOo OoOoO oOoOo OoOoO

Nix sat in the DeLorean in the driveway. She had on Marty's vest he'd left her. The rest was of her own wardrobe consisting of a neon yellow shirt, acid wash pants and a pair of Wayvers. She hated waiting. Despite being behind the wheel of a time machine, she had the patients of a chipmunk.

Finally after ten minutes of waiting, Dane slid into the passenger seat of the car. He was amazed that his baby sister had gotten her hands on a DeLorean and not him.

"Are you ready?" she asked.

"Holy shit…" he said dazed in amazement.

"I'll take that as a yes."

She entered the date July 11, 1980 at 9:45 pm. They were on their way to see a Blues Brothers concert. She pulled out onto the street and took back roads out to the rural area of Hill Valley. Out in those back roads, there were no people that she could hit with the car.

"Listen Dane, you can't tell Dad about this ok? This is between us, got it?"

"Yeah I know," he said.

"Good. Just an FYI, the reentry is a little bumpy, so hold on."

She hit the gas and they sped off down the streets of the rural area. Dane held onto the seatbelt for dear life. She laughed at her brother and the blue lights formed around the car and they soon found themselves in the same rural area, but it was night. Dane opened his eyes and looked around.

"Oh my god!" he exclaimed, "It worked!"

"Course it worked," she said, driving a safe 65 through the area into town.

"Doc made something… that worked! Oh my god!"

"Yeah," she said, now getting extremely aggravated at her brother, "Can you like, not be so… you tonight? We're hear to see the Blues Brothers and I gotta be back for my date, got it?"

"We have a working time machine!"

"I have a working time machine, Doc and Marty gave it to me."

"Marty? As in dad's friend? Marty McFly?"

"Yes, Daniel, Marty McFly."

"How? Wait, what?"

"Long story," she rested her elbow on the window as she drove.

The two drove in silence into the town. It looked just about the same as when Nix had seen it in 1985. Dane was being… well Dane. He was awestruck as he looked at the town of Hill Valley. He was smiling and pointing out every little detail to Nix. After a while she told him to go screw himself and that shut him up for a while.

After a few more minutes of driving, they had reached an old club that no longer existed in 2012. It was called simply, The Blues Bar. Short, sweet and people knew what was there. Blues and Booze. A few cars were parked outside. Nix went around the back and parked in a small ally way.

With barley enough room to get out, they managed to get out of the car and lock it up tight. Nix had put the car keys in her bra to keep it safe. She was not letting Dane hold them. Dane and Nix walked out of the ally as causally as possible and into the bar.

It was loud when the two got in there. They weren't there to drink, just to see the band and ditch. But with all the time in the world, they could really stay as long as they wanted.

Soon, the lights went down and the two high fived. The Blues Brothers had begun to play "Can't Turn Me Loose" and they had entered. Nix cheered wildly for the blues men.

Two hours had gone by in a snap. Song after song they played that just made the crowd dance and sing along if they had seen the movie. Midnight came soon and they had played "Can't Turn Me Loose" one last time and they had exited the stage.

"We can cross this off our bucket list now, Dane," Nix squealed.

"Too bad no one will believe us."

"Right…"

The two were just about to leave when Nix felt a light tap on her shoulder. She turned and saw her favorite blues man in front of her. Elwood Blues or better known as Dan Aykroyd was standing right in front of her, smiling.

"I saw you from the stage; you seemed to really enjoy the concert."

"Oh most defiantly, Mr. Blues," she said, calmly as possible.

He gave her a playful grin, "You can call me Elwood."

"Ok," she said with a huge grin.

"Here," he took one of the flyers from the wall of the bar and took out a pen from his suit pocket. He scribbled something down on it and handed it to Nix, "Hope to see ya at another concert soon."

"Yeah," she smiled, "Totally."

"I gotta go. Have a good night," he gave her a small hug and walked off.

Once he was out of her sight, she squealed, "ohmigod!"

She ran and met back up with Dane outside.

"What was that all about?" he asked.

She smiled and handed the piece of paper to Dane. He read over it three times and just looked at his sister. Thanks for bein such a loyal fan of me and my brother Jake. Keep it on the down low that you met us, we're still running from the cops. Love Elwood.

"Dan Aykroyd came up to you and talked to you?"

"Mhmmm!"

"And he just signed this without you asking?"

"Mhmmm!" she squealed even louder.

"Congrats, little sis, congrats," Dane handed the paper back to Nix.

She cuddled the paper as the two walked back to the DeLorean to head home.
