Cousin's in Time: Part I

Ch 3

Once the cousins got to Marty's house, they see the car totaled.

Marty and Annie both groaned, "Perfect."

They decided to go into the house to see what had happened. When they got in, they saw Biff and George arguing.

Biff huffed, "I can't believe that you lent me a car that has a blind spot in it. I could've been killed!"

George pointed out, "Well, Biff. I have never noticed a blind spot in it before." That's when he saw Marty and Annie. He greeted sadly, "Hi, Marty and Annie."

Biff questioned, "And where are my reports, McFly?"

George started to say, "Well, I figured since they weren't due until next week, I..."

Biff grabbed George by his tie and knocked on his head. He hissed, "Hello, hello. Anyone in home up there? Think, McFly. Do you know what will happen when I hand in my reports in your handwriting? I get fired. You wouldn't want that to happen, would you?"

George stammered, "O - of course not, Biff. I'll have them done by Saturday."

Biff replied, "Yeah, but not too early. I sleep in on Saturday's." That's when he saw Marty and Annie staring at him. He asked, "What are you two buttheads looking at?"

With that, Biff left. George walked over to the cousins.

George commented, "I know what you two are thinking. And you're right. You're absolutely right."

Marty was still looking at the car. He sadly stated, "The car, Dad..."

Annie added, "Yeah, he wrecked it Uncle George!"

George replied, "I know but you two know I'm not good at confrontation."

Marty and Annie both mumbled, "Damn straight."

Annie's POV

I know I should have been more sensitive to Uncle George but he was a complete wimp. Granted, I was in his and my Aunt Lorraine's debt for them taking me in when my father walked out on me the day after my mother died. He and I were polar opposites because he didn't want me hanging around Doc. Then again, Marty's folks felt the same way. Even though Uncle George and Aunt Lorraine acted happy that we had jobs, they felt that they shouldn't involve the 'crackpot' of the town. Marty and I didn't care. Doc was our friend, mentor, and boss. He inspired both of us to give it our all.

Marty wanted to be a rock star while I wanted to be a successful doctor. You know, make my mom proud. We all sat down and ate while watching television.

Aunt Lorraine was drinking again and brought over a cake and said, "Okay, kids. We're going to have to eat this cake by ourselves. Your Uncle Joey didn't make parole again."

She put it down and the icing read, "Congrats, Uncle Joey." It showed a bird getting out of a cage. I sighed and so did Marty. We hated having an uncle in jail but what we going to do about it?

Dave rolled his eyes and said, "Old jail bird Joey?" He looked at his watch and said, "Damn, I'm late for work!"

Aunt Lorraine scolded and said, "David, watch your mouth! Now, come here and kiss your mother."

Dave kissed her goodbye and went over to Uncle George and said, "Later, Dad and it's time for you to change the oil."

Uncle George laughed kind of like a geek as Dave left.

Marty turned to his mom and asked, "Uh, mom. Can I stay the night at Annie's?"

Aunt Lorraine shrugged at the both of us and answered, "I guess it will be alright, Marty."

Marty and I exchanged smiles. Well, that was easy. We both left after we cleared our plates and went to my house. Since dad never sold the house, I was able to stay there or with Marty. Marty took the guest room, which used to be my dad's old room before he moved out and left me alone. Doc and Marty were always they for me. Doc became my father in a way and Marty became like a best friend. But, the truth of the matter was...I was also crushing on Marty. I mean, for a guy who is always there for you, you're going to develop a crush on him. I wondered if Marty felt the same thing for me.

I fell asleep while I was thinking that and I was woken up by the phone.
