Time Blind, But A Time Traveler

My second short one shot out of two for my favorite 80s media couples this Valentines Day! (you can probably tell I rushed through these 😅) First one is Memories We Make

Jennifer Parker tapped her foot impatiently on the porch as she checked both ends of the street again, but she tried to restrain any annoyance she felt for her boyfriend at the moment. Sighing, she sat down on the swing and steeled herself to wait a little longer for Marty, if something was wrong he would have called and her mother would have called out the screen door for her.

Marty McFly was a time traveler, that in itself was unusual enough considering there was only a select number of people who had experienced the scientific breakthrough first hand. Even more unusual was how he was unaware to the passing of time, he would be late or early to everything; there was no in between, no being "on time".

At first it was because it was intensified by him having to adjust to a timeline different than the one he had known his entire life, such as skateboarding somewhere when he could have taken his truck and gotten there in half of the time. Then it boiled down to Marty just being Marty, time blind was in some ways his style.

Finally a car rolled down the street and Jennifer walked down the front walk to meet it at the end of the driveaway, releasing a breath she didn't know she had been holding. As the car got closer, the dirty blonde realized it wasn't Marty's black pickup, but a silver car that drove low to the ground. She recognized the all too familiar car and shook her head as it stopped in front of her, the gullwing door opening to reveal her boyfriend.

"When this baby hits 88 mph, you're gonna see some serious shit," Marty grinned.

Jen goodnaturedly smacked his shoulder, "I was just about to file a missing person report, what kept you?"

"Had to stop by Doc's, he was a little harder to convince to let me take the DeLorean out than I thought-"

"Well he has good reason to-"

"-but I still convinced him," he countered, "I'm allowed to use it today as long as I don't break the universe."

She raised an eyebrow, that was reassuring - he had the potential to destroy existence as they knew it, though at this point that really wasn't surprising. "Alright, whatever you're planning I'm coming with. Someone has the make sure you don't create another alternate timeline accidentally." Walking over to the passenger side, she got into the car and instinctively looked to the time circuits for a clue of any plan, nothing new yet.

Marty ignored the jab at his past experiences with the machine, "Glad you're on board Jen! In my opinion, there's nothing wrong with making good times."

"I- Martin McFly you did not just make a time pun!" Jennifer laughed.

"What? Things have been slow around here for a while, have to make things interesting somehow don't I? Or history will never be made."

He wasn't wrong, after October things had been somewhat boring, maybe an adventure was the perfect gift afterall...
