"You are listening to KIRP," announced the voice from the radio, "playing the greatest hits from the seventies, the eighties, and the nineties." Lisa gasped, as she really had such a tough time believing what she heard. The year was only 1987, after all. As the radio station began to play a unfamiliar song, she wonder if she might be dreaming.

"Unless, of course, they meant the 1890s," muttered Lisa. It didn't make really sense, though, as the radio station was playing rock music. She began to wonder if she could be starting to imagine things. She sighed, as she flopped down onto her mattress.

She just closed her eyes, as her thoughts turned back to Jennifer and Sarah Parker - as well as that of Calvin and Marty McFly. She rather couldn't get over how much the McFly twins resembled Michael J Fox. She sure wished to learn more about the boys.

She really couldn't help but envy her old friends. Not only were their parents still alive, but they were also dating such cute young men. She started to wish that it was simply possible turn back time. She missed her mother so much, it actually hurt. It didn't quite seem to be fair, and she began to wonder why God felt it fit to take away her mother.

"And that was Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana," commented the disc jockey. "It sure seems rather tough to believe that over twenty years have passed, since Kurt Cobain of Nirvana had committed suicide - but the song is certainly still a legendary classic."

"What the hell?" muttered Lisa, as she could hardly believe what she was hearing. She really never heard of a group called Nirvana, and the song certainly didn't sound like it was recorded in the 1960s - which is what "twenty years ago" actually would've been.

"Up next is a real awesome classic from thirty years ago..." continued the disc jockey, as Lisa felt rather dazed. Thirty years ago would actually be the 1950s. However, the radio station just mentioned that the 1970s as the earliest era that they played songs from. Then again, they had also mentioned "the nineties". "... The Power of Love."

A smile spread across Lisa's face, as The Power of Love by Huey Lewis and The News came on the radio. It really happened to be amongst of her favourite songs. Still, the disc jockey had just stated that the song was actually a classic from thirty years ago!

Lisa glanced out the window, and noticed the rain shower appeared to be getting less intense. Perhaps, later on, she could really walk around the site - and see if she could locate her friends. In fact, she never was all that particularly fond of thunderstorms.

Lisa closed her eyes, as she decided that she'd simply try to get some sleep. Perhaps, the folks at the radio station were simply playing some sort of joke. As the music quite was enjoyable, though, she really felt no urge to change the station. With everything that she had endured, radio station pranksters actually were the least of her worries.

oooooooooo

"I really can't hardly believe this," groaned Mike, as he looked out the window. "I can't believe that we're having a thunderstorm. I mean, we just got here. I was just hoping that we could... Well, I simply had a craving for s'mores. The thing is, I hoped that we could sit around the campfire. This is such a bummer! Right on our first night here."

"Yeah, Mike, I know what you mean," Marty Jr replied, sighing. "I mean, I was sort of hoping that the sun might always be shining. It just seems so, uh, dreary. I guess we can turn on the radio, at least - and block out the sound of rain and thunder, a little."

"C'mon, you sourpusses!" protested Alex, laughing. "It's really not all bad! I mean, we wanted to get in touch with nature. Well, this is a part of nature. I just think you guys need to loosen up, a little. We could make this into a.... well, sort of an adventure."

"Alex is right," Stacy replied, as she placed her arm around her boyfriend. "This rather could be a lot of fun, in fact. I mean, we really could even walk in the rain - sort of like in that song by Rupert Holmes. Y'know, about pina coladas - and all that? I really think we should make the most out of the situation. We might be eighteen, now - but I..."

"Thank you for your support, Stacy," Alex replied, flashing a lopsided. "We'll have the rest of the week for roasting s'mores, I'm sure. Say, do you remember how we rather used to love splashing around in the rain. I mean, we sure used to have a lot of fun."

"Well, I'm not sure," Marlene protested, sighing. "We're simply not children, anymore - and I'm not sure if it really possible to... Well, I appreciate what you guys are saying - but it just seems... Nowadays, I actually have some sort of aversion to getting wet."

"You like to swim, though," pointed out Marty Jr, gently. "Then again, I suppose that's a little different. That's when you're in your bathing suit, and it really is more fun to be in the water. You can float on your back, and... do that sort of stuff. Being stuck in the rain is quite different." Looking out, he added, "I think the rain is slowing down."

"Well, guys, how about we just put on our bathing suits?" suggested Alex. "That way, we don't have to worry about getting our regular clothes wet. We could check out the cabin, some more. Let's just give it a try, at any rate. It might really be a lot of fun."

"Not meaning to be a sourpuss," Marlene commented, softly, "but why don't you guys go without me? I'd really like to write a letter to Mike. Hartford, that is. I quite wish he could've come along - but I guess he was gonna spend the week with his grandma."

"You really do love Mike Hartford, don't you?" Marty Jr asked, as he flashed a lopsided smile. It still felt odd to think of his older sister having a serious boyfriend. Still, he was happy for her. "I'd certainly love to check out more of that cabin, Alex. I must say, it's a rather curious sight. I really wonder how many of the patrons even know about it."

oooooooooo

Later on, when the thunderstorm had settled down, Lisa just felt like taking a walk. It felt quite nice to see his old friends, Jennifer and Sarah. She realized that they never told her where they were staying. Perhaps, she would just run into them - or find out where they were staying. She hope that she could trust her friends with her secret.

The folks at the radio station appeared to be quite intent on acting as in the year was 2017, but she decided not to worry about it. She rather was more than a little curious about some of the unfamiliar songs, though - and why she never before heard them.

Suddenly, she heard the sound of footsteps. It really sounded as if some people were approaching her cabin. She began to feel nervous, as she was hoping to not be found there. She hated to be sent to another foster home, with a set of uncaring "parents".

Lisa's eyes grew wide, as she could hardly believe what she saw. Was it quite possible for Marty and Calvin to have a triplet? If so, might that triplet simply be available? She really felt shocked to see the brunette twins, though. What happened to Jennifer and Sarah? As if she hadn't already dealt with enough strangeness with the radio station.

"Oh, hello," commented one of the triplets. He rather seemed to not recognize her, so she wondered if it was the triplet that she hadn't previously met. "It's quite a pleasure to meet you. I'm Marty McFly. Junior, that is. These are my cousins, Alex and Mike."

"Cousins?" Lisa asked, weakly. She actually felt as if she was about to faint. She could simply recall that the names of the twins were Calvin and Marty. Yet, Marty - who, for some reason, didn't appear to remember her - introduced others were Alex and Mike.

"I can see that you looked surprised," commented of the other triplets - cousins - gently. "Yeah, I know what you're thinking. We look like triplets. We really do get that a lot! Believe it or not, though - we really are cousins. Our fathers happen to be twins - which, I suppose, helps. Mike and I are only three days older than Marty, as well."

"We're also double cousins," added the third boy, as he stared into Lisa's eyes. "Close to it, at any rate. Our mothers are double cousins, and our fathers are twins - so, the thing is, I think we could also qualify as double cousins. Anyway, what's you name?"

"I'm, uh, Lisa Jung," she stammered, disconcertingly. Things were certainly starting to become even more freaky. She knew that Jennifer and Sarah were double cousins. In fact, Jennifer and Sarah were dating a pair of twins."Who... Who are your parents?"

"Well, Lisa, Calvin and Sarah are my parents," explained the third boy, "while Marty Sr and Jennifer are Marty's parents." Lisa's eyes certainly grew wide, as she could hardly believe what she just heard. "I, uh... We simply didn't mean to startle you. We'll leave you alone, if that's what you'd like. However, I'd just like to... get to know you more."

"You'd like to... get to know... more of me?" Lisa asked, startled. As the boy flashed a lopsided smile, she added, "Well, in that case, I... I share the same sentiment. I really should get some rest, though. Perhaps, tomorrow, we could do a little... something."

"That'd quite be my pleasure, Lisa," agreed the boy, softly. "By the way, I don't recall if I... introduced myself. Well, I'm Mike McFly. Alex is my twin brother, and Marty's my cousin. Look-alike double cousin, in fact. Well, I'd really better let you get some rest."

"It's been nice meeting you, Mike McFly," Lisa replied, as her lips curved into a smile. "I quite enjoyed meeting all of you, of course." Mike smiled back, as the group started to walk off. Was Mike really that interested in going on a date with her? Could this be the start of her good luck. "Have a great night!" she called out, to the departing crowd.

As Lisa stepped inside her cabin, a whole bunch of thoughts rather began to flood her mind. Was it quite possible that she did travel into the future, and simply met the future offspring of her old friends? That certainly would also explain the radio station.
