It's a Bookend Weekend -- One More Time

crossover_chickAs of yesterday, we're still stuck in 1985-A. *deadpan* Hooray. After getting a good look at how awful Hill Valley's become, Marty sees the life story of the perpetrator in his own personal museum. Turns out Biff somehow managed to become a gambling whiz, and ended up marrying Marty's mother. Marty is understandably horrified. Moments later, he's caught by Biff's goons and knocked out.
He revives on the 27th floor of Biff's hotel -- cue the "Mom, Is That You?" scene. Lorraine's now more plastic than biological parts, especially in the chest area. Biff bursts in, and he and Lorraine argue over Marty, who's supposed to be in Switzerland. After Biff shoves Lorraine and punches Marty for trying to defend her, Lorraine threatens to walk out. Biff blackmails her into staying by threatening to put her kids in jail, then storms out. Marty, confused as anything, asks his mother where on earth his real father, George McFly, is. Lorraine's response? Oak Park Cemetary.
Moments later, we rejoin Marty as he searches for his father's grave. He breaks down upon finding it. Doc finds him there and takes him back to the lab, to act as The King of Exposition. He shows Marty the news article on George's death, then explains to him about the creation of the alternate reality 1985-A. Doc has discovered the Almanac bag and the top of Old Biff's cane in the DeLorean, and realized Biff stole both the Almanac and time machine and went into the past to give himself the future information. Marty is initially upset that his idea was stolen, but then realizes that it's really all his fault. Doc tells him that they have to figure out the exact date and specific circumstances about how Biff got that Almanac. Marty says he'll ask him.
Cut to Marty asking him, interrupting Biff's viewing of "A Fistful of Dollars." Pay attention to the movie, Marty, it'll be on the test! Biff, in true villain fashion, explains everything to Marty, saying some old man came on November 12th, 1955, gave him the book, and and then vanished. He also attempts to kill Marty, but the teen escapes and heads for the roof. There's a brief showdown between Biff and Marty in which Biff reveals that he killed George (like that was ever a question?) -- Marty ends it by stepping off the roof and somehow managing to silently drop onto the DeLorean. Doc smacks Biff in the face with his door, and Marty tells him they have to go back to November 12th, 1955. Before they leave, however, there's foreshadowing to be had -- the time circuits are playing up again. . . .
At 11:00 A.M., Marty finally returns to the final version of 1985 after his adventures in 1885. The mall is Lone Pine (as far as we know), the ravine Eastwood. Minutes after arrival, the DeLorean is destroyed by a modern train -- Marty just barely makes it out. Saddened by the loss of the car, Marty heads back home. Everyone's back to normal -- successful McFlys, annoying sycophant Biff. Marty goes and picks up Jennifer, who is still on the front porch of her house. They go for a drive together, in which Jennifer starts recounting her "dream" to Marty. Before things can go too far, Needles and his gang pull up, and Needles challenges Marty to a street race. Marty initially refuses, but Needles calls him chicken. The two gear up, and when the light turns green -- Needles goes forwards while Marty hits reverse. After his experience with Buford, Marty couldn't care less if he's called chicken. Bad future is erased, as Marty didn't hit the Rolls Royce. Jennifer also finally gets to realize time travel is real, thanks to that disappearing fax she brought back.
Marty and Jennifer return to the railroad tracks to see the pieces of the destroyed DeLorean. Marty laments that Doc's never coming back. Cue Doc coming back in a modified train time machine. He introduces Marty and Jennifer to his new family -- wife Clara, and sons Jules and Verne. He gives Marty the photograph he and the teen got back in 1885, in a nice frame. Jennifer asks him about the disappearing fax, and Doc tells her that their future is not set and that they should make it a good one. Marty and Jennifer share a sappy look and promise to do just that. Doc takes off for further adventures, revealing the train is hover-converted. And that's the end. Unless you take into account the mountains of fan fiction being written.
-M: And that sums it up pretty well.-
Yup. All in all, not a bad ending to the trilogy. I have to admit, that train has really grown on me since I got into steampunk.
-TD: The train is amazing. The DeLorean is wonderful too, but the train is amazing.-
Heh, that it is. I'll miss seeing it at Universal. Wish I could have gone inside. . . .
-D: There's always ours.-
You boys don't let me near the time machines.
-VD: We're afraid we'll find them filled with cheese or covered with hearts one day.-
I wouldn't do that! Honest!
-D: Better safe than sorry.-
*rolls eyes*
We have some updates from the field --![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
revison_doc has updated with the massive entry, and I also posted my ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
simstorytellers interview -- you can see it here.
-RPD: Nice. Though did you get any Simming done today?-
I couldn't let a BTTF date pass without SOMETHING being done in Hill Valley. Since I didn't want a photo fest (not after yesterday, anyway), I did some building. And since I wanted to be topical -- Pleasure Paradise it was.
-VM: Eugh.-
I know, I know, but Biff doesn't have control of it here. Let's see:
I did some work on the museum portion -- added some decorations and made the interior black for now. The nutcracker is a stand-in for Biff's statue, and the DeLorean for his roadster.
-VD2: *gigglefit*-
Glad you're amused.
Next were the "rooms" -- the blue level got some speakers and pinball machines added to the outside "hallway," while I completely furnished the yellow level. Used a lot of the new Pets decorations as well. The yellow level room looks more like a hotel room, with endtable phone, bed, TV, bar, and radio.
The main casino-lobby level got some cheesy neon lighting and the new cool wall clock.
And I redid the parking lot so it looks more like real Sim cars could fit in there. Much better, in my opinion.
-VuM: Are you going to redo the regular town square parking lot too?-
I might. Should consider it anyway. Though what I should really do is get going on the rest of the Town Squares. My Sims have no places to go Downtown, really! And now that I have a computer that can actually handle community lots, that may turn out to be a problem.
-RPD: I'm sure you'll find a way around it. I'm more concerned about Eureka, it's fallen to the wayside.-
*wince* I know. I'll get back on that soon, really. *pause* Hmm. Wonder if I could just copy a few lots from Hill Valley for Mad Hill Valley. . . .
-RPD: I certainly have no objections.-
Now that Sims is out of the way, I'd better get working on fanfic and fanart before the boys kill me.
-VD: Well, we can't kill you, because that leaves us in the lurch, but we shall certainly hound you severely.-
Just let me answer nature's call first! Then I'll at least try to get Chapter 10 of "Boy Genius" closer to done.
-TD: That's the ticket.-
-VD2: And that drabbles88 too!-
Need to think of an ending first. . . . And of course, a few more edits to "We're All Mad Here."
-DW: Naturally.-
-OD: You will have that and "Tea, Anyone?" up in time for Halloween, right?-
The 30th or bust, everyone! I'm not failing on those!
