John and I were sitting at a counter in a McDonald's. He was enjoying a cheeseburger, and I some chicken nuggets as we waited for the rest of the band to show up as we were all going shopping for some clothes to wear on stage at a little gig we had next week at a restaurant down the road.

"These are good," John said to me, popping a French fry into his mouth.

I nodded. "Very salty, aren't they?"

"God, yes. I love it."

I laughed nervously, looking down at my food.

"You seem like something's bothering you," he noted. "What is it?"

I shook my head. "I just can't stop thinking about how we have to get you back to—well—1965."

John frowned, looking genuinely upset. "Oh," he said sadly. "I almost forgot."

We fell silent.

"Hey, Molly?"

"Yes, John?"

"You mentioned that you had watched some kind of movie the night before I showed up. One that I was in? What movie was it?"

I thought back. All I knew was that it was a Led Zeppelin documentary. I couldn't remember what it had been called. "I—." I paused, then reached for my phone. "I don't know," I said. For all I knew, that could have been what it was that brought John to me. I was set on finding it.

I scrolled through and find Hulu, opening it, and immediately going to the search bar. John sat up precariously in an attempt to watch me. I typed in "Led Zeppelin" and waited for the results to load.

The Beatles: Eight Days a Week - The Touring Years...

The Quiet One...

Eric Clapton: Life in 12 Bars...

The Last Waltz...

David Bowie Finding Fame...

Where the hell was that documentary? Or rather, what the hell was that documentary?

"I-it's not here," I stammered. "It's gone."

"It's gone?" asked John.

Maybe it is because John is here. Let me find any other Led Zeppelin movies.

"Okay, wait," I said, my hands shaking. I left the Hulu app and went to my source of all other Zeppelin documentaries: Tubi. A quick search of what I wanted gave me four documentaries.

Led Zeppelin IV...

Led Zeppelin: Dazed and Confused...

Led Zeppelin: On the Rock Trail...

A to Zeppelin: The Led Zeppelin Story...

"I don't understand," I said, feeling a sense of panic. "Where is it? Am I crazy?"

"You're sitting here talking to someone from 1967," John reminded me. "I think we may both be crazy." He smiled. "Now," he joked, reaching over and taking one of my chicken nuggets. He shoved it into my mouth. "Eat and stop worrying!"

I frowned at him. "You're mean...but what if that documentary has something to do with why you're here?" I asked him, taking a sip of my Dr. Pepper.
