MCFLY JULY ‘24 — mountain dew hat man.

MARCH 19, 1986

At first, when he’d look in back of his Jeep and see a face, Bobby Moore would just about jump out of his skin.

Now, though… he gets kinda worried when he doesn’t start his day with the kid’s sheepish smile and wave.

So what if he’s started to take corners a little gentler, brake a little softer, go a little slower, just in case? It’s not hurting anyone.

It’s rainy this morning and when he looks over his shoulder, he sees the kid looking like a drowned rat but still offering him a million-dollar smile.

Bobby slows to a stop at the light and waves the very confused teenager over to the front of the Jeep.

“Get in.”

“What?” The kid fidgets with the headphones around his neck, looking uncertain.

“You heard me. Come on.”

And Bobby thought his smile was bright before.

“Great!” He picks up the skateboard with a fancy kick, catching it and sliding into the passenger side just as the light changes to green.

“I oughta charge you a buck a mile, y’know,” Bobby teases and the kid laughs. He extends a hand, carefully, while keeping one eye on the road. “Bobby.”

“Marty,” the kid responds, taking his hand and giving it a firm shake.

“Good to know ya, Marty. Good to know ya.”
