Marty Jr. got home just in time for supper, pushes the door lazily and walks toward the living room, he notices her mother looking in the kitchen, wearing an odd flower-studded pink pants.

He complinents this.

"Hey Mom! Nice pants!" he greats but his mother didn't look back.

"Nice Pants?" said Marty Jr. to himself, he stops in his tracks. Why would her mom wear things like that? He looked back where her mom was standing, but she was gone.

He takes a dive at the living room sofa, grabs the remote and turns on the T.V.

Then, the front door creaks open,

"Hey Hey Hey! Dad's home! That's right Dad's home!" Marty Sr.'s voice came from the door as George and Lorraine greats him.

"Here's the Lord of the Manor!" Lorraine said

"The King of the Castle!" George added.

"Hey Granny! I didn't notice you back there." Marty Jr. cuts in, surprised to see his Grandparents.

Marty Sr. looks at his father, sitting on a wheelchair with an injured leg.

"Whoa, Dad, what happened to you?" Marty Sr. asked.

"I was at the golf course when a golf cart lost its conrtol and ran me over." George said.

"Now boys, why don't we have dinner?" Lorraine calls the three.

"Junior, where's your mom?" Senior asks

"I saw her over there by the kitchen, wearing pink FLOWERY PANTS for some reason." Marty Jr. said with one eyebrow raised in doubt.

Senior dismisses this and goes to the kitchen, he sees his daughter Marlene sitting at the table, waiting for them.

"Hey Princess." greeted Marty Sr. as he kissed the girl's head.

Lorraine brings out a big pizza divided into two sections with all-meat dressing on the first half, and an all-vegetable on the other.

"Is it ready?" Marty Jr. chants as Lorraine places the pizza on the table.

"Oh boy, oh boy mom sure could bake at pizza." Marty Sr. praises the beautiful pizza.

Each enjoy a piece.

"So Marty, are you and Jennifer getting along?" Lorraine asked.

"Oh, were like a couple of teenagers you know?"Marty Sr. replied.

Just then the Home Computer rings, someone's requesting for a video chat, Marty Jr. looks at the display, "Dad, it's Needles." he said.

"I'll be right back." Marty Sr. leaves the table.

Marty Sr. walks to the living room and clicks the ACCEPT button, Douglas J. Needles appeard on the other side.

"He-Hey! the Big M! How's it hangin' McFly?" Needles sarcastically greets him.

"Hey Needles." Marty flatly replies.

"So, did you take a look at that business proposal of mine?"

"I don't know, Needles." He rejects the man's offer.

"What are you afraid of? If this plan works, it'll solve all of your financial problems." the convincing Needles said.

"And if it doesn't work, Needles, I could get fired, It's illegal... I mean... what if the JITS is watching?"

"The Jits'll never find out." Needles continues to persuade Marty "Come on, join in and I'll handle it. Unless you want everyone in the division will think you're... A CHICKEN."

Marty freezes. Anger and frustration fused inside him, but continued to have a cool head.

"Nobody calls me a chicken, Needles, NOBODY!" he bellowed.

"Then prove it." said Needles with his face nearly covering his background.

"But.." Marty Sr. said.

A slight moment of silence with a hint of suspense.

"I don't care what you said, I don't care about anybody else says either!" he claimed.

"Wait." Needles follows as Marty Sr. reaches for the mouse.

"Bye Needles." he bids to the rejected swindler.

"Wai-" he said when Marty ended the chat.

Marty takes a deep breath in relief, showing that he learned his lesson the day Needles chalenged him to drag race. He's a new Marty, realizing that his future isn't written in stone.

"Dad?" Marty Jr. calls his Dad.

"Yeah son?" he replied.

"I need to talk to you." the boy slowly asked.

"What is it?"Marty Sr. walks closer to his son and putting an arm around him.

"Have you heard of the-"

"I'M OLD!"

"I'M YOUNG!"

The conversation was cut short when the two hear those simultaneous shouts near the front door, it was then followed by two consecutive thuds.

The people in the house all rush to see Jennifer lying on the ground, frozen in shock.

"Jennifer?" Marty Sr. calls out as he puts her head on his lap.

"Mom, you okay?" Marty Jr. assured that his mother is alright.

Jennifer shook her shocked look off, "I entered the house and came face-to-face with my younger self!" she recalled.

Marty Jr. was stupefied, this day just gets weirder and weirder.

He came back to his senses when he saw a white sheepdog's behind walking away from their lawn.

He followed it outside and saw an old man and a teenager carrying what looks to be the woman he saw in their house wearing flowery pink pants. The pair carried the unconscious girl to a car around the corner, with the dog following them.

"What the hell's going on here?" Junior asks himself.

He was distracted by the revving of tha car's engine, but the car gives out a different rev, it sounds like a small plane, he draws closer, only twenty feet away when the car started to hover, he sees it's the FLYING DE LOREAN, the exact same car he saw earlier.

Then the rear part of the car makes a rocket-like sound and the De Lorean gets propelled forward, Marty Jr. could not believe his eyes, he keeps an eye on the car as parts of it glow bright blue, and with one flash of light, it vanished!

"Marty?"

Marty Jr. jumped, it was his father standing behind him.

"Did you see that?" he asks his father.

"See what?" Marty Sr. pretends he didn't see anything.

"You gotta be kidding me." he sighs, "You didn't see that?"

Marty Sr. kept silent.

"Nevermind, I gotta get to Doc's" He said leaving his dad.

Marty Sr., on the other hand, worriedly looks at his son as he walks out from view.

"Oh God, not again."
