Back to the Future: Retold

Chapter 9: The Dreaded First Date

Marty had gone over his plan with George. It was a full proof plan. Well, at least he thought so at first...

The night of the dance finally came, and Marty found himself sitting in the car with Lorraine, his sister in the back seat.

"Marty, you seem nervous. Are you alright?" Lorraine asked.

Marty shifted uncomfortably in his seat, earning a small glare from Judy.

"Yeah! I'm fine." He said, his voice scratched.

Marty then turned and realized his mother had started drinking.

"Good night, Lorraine! What're you doing?!"

He quickly snatched the bottle from her.

"Maybe you shouldn't do that..."

"And, why not?"

"You might regret it later in life."

Lorraine huffed, "Marty! Don't you know that everyone who's anyone drinks?"

At this, Marty took a small drink from the bottle and almost immediately spit it out in surprise, noticing his mother had started lighting a cigarette, causing Judy to look up at them curiously.

"Geez! You smoke too?!"

"You're starting to sound like my mother!"

Marty shook his head.

It's a miracle any of us were even born!

He noticed that Lorraine had taken off her coat, her dress was low cut.

Marty quickly averted his gaze.

"Lorraine?" He turned to Judy, who frowned at his uncomfortable expression, then back to his mother.

"Yes?" Lorraine straightened herself.

"Have you ever been in a situation where, you had to act a certain way, but when you got there, you didn't know if you could go through with it?"

"You mean, like on a first date?"

"Uh, sort of..."

She smiled, "I know exactly what you mean."

"What do you do in that situation?"

Marty turned to her, "I don't know, what about you?"

He didn't even have time to react when Lorraine started to kiss him.

Suddenly panicked, Marty tried to break away from the kiss.

Judy was watching everything unfold, her eyes wide.

Fortunately, for both of them, Lorraine slowly pulled away.

"No, this is all wrong."

Marty kept staring at her, dumbfounded.

His mother continued, "I don't know what it is but, when I kiss you, I feel like I'm kissing...my brother."
