Memery and a New Drabbles88

44. Why?
“Come on, honey, say ‘Daddy.’ Dah-dee.”
Martina just stared at him. Doc sighed and shook his head. “You’re at the age where most kids start talking intelligibly. Can’t you say ‘Daddy’ just once?”
Martina cocked her head. “Ahga.”
“Can’t you even say ‘mine?’ That’s a popular one among toddlers. You’ll have to learn it if you intend to get anywhere in this world.”
“Booo-ba.”
Doc sighed, unable to help a smile at his daughter’s expression. “Yes, yes, I know. You’ll talk when you’re ready.”
“Oh, what a cute baby!”
Doc looked up to see a woman in a suit standing over him, grinning. “I’m sorry, but she’s just adorable,” she continued. “How old is she?”
“One year and five months,” Doc said proudly. “Our first – yes, I’m the father,” he added, seeing the woman trying to hide a start. “It’s an easy mistake to make.”
“Sorry,” the woman said, blushing. “It’s just – well, you expect a man of your years to have older children.”
“I know, but I’m not like most men of my years. Not from around here, are you?”
“Business traveler.” She made a couple of faces at Martina, who giggled. “How precious. Can she talk?”
“If she can, she’s hiding it from us very well,” Doc said, bouncing the baby on his knee.
Martina made a grab for the woman’s purse. The woman pulled it away, chuckling. “Oh, you like this?” She held it up, pointing at the Y design on the front. “What’s that? Do you know what that is?”
Martina giggled. “Fluh capacita!”
Doc turned white. The woman fortunately didn’t notice, too busy blinking at Martina. “Pardon?”
“Fluh capacita! Fluh capacita!”
“She must just be talking nonsense,” Doc said quickly, attempting a smile.
“Apparently,” the woman said, nodding. She checked her watch. “Oh, dear, I have a meeting to get to. It was nice meeting you.” She walked away, giving Martina a final wave.
Doc stared at his toddler. “Flux capacitor?” he said weakly. “Those are your first words? Flux capacitor?”
“Fluh capacita,” Martina nodded.
“Why? Why couldn’t it have been something normal, like ‘Mommy’ or ‘cookie’ or ‘doggy?’” Doc shook his head as Martina giggled and tried to pull his hair. “Great Scott, I wonder how Gypsy’s going to take this. And I can hear you laughing, Marty!”

-Martys: *are indeed snorting with laughter*-
-D: *unable to help a smile himself* How long were you planning this?-
Since I first added Martina to the bunch -- I thought it would be hilarious. :p Spends WAAY too much time with her daddy.
-VD: Where exactly is he during this scene?-
Oak Park -- Einy needed some running time, and Gypsy would be at work. My original idea was to use a Y on a building somewhere, but I don't know how many buildings there are in Oak Park.
-M: Not many, so it's a good thing you changed it.-
Ah good.

And finally, that Holiday Wish List Meme:

Wish List!

Step One
- Make a post (public, friends locked, filtered...whatever you're comfortable with) to your LJ. The post should contain your list of 10 holiday wishes. The wishes can be anything at all, from simple and fandom-related ("I'd love a Snape/Hermione icon that's just for me") to medium ("I wish for _____ on DVD") to really big ("All I want for Christmas is a new car/computer/house/TV.") The important thing is, make sure these wishes are things you really, truly want.

- If you wish for real life things (not fics or icons), make sure you include some sort of contact info in your post, whether it's your address or just your email address where Santa (or one of his elves) could get in touch with you.

- Also, make sure you post some version of these guidelines in your LJ, or link to this post (it'll be public) so that the holiday joy will spread.

Step Two
- Surf around your friends list (or friendsfriends, or just random journals) to see who has posted their list. And now here's the important part:

- If you see a wish you can grant, and it's in your heart to do so, make someone's wish come true. Sometimes someone's trash is another's treasure, and if you have a leather jacket you don't want or a gift certificate you won't use--or even know where you could get someone's dream purebred Basset Hound for free--do it.

You needn't spend money on these wishes unless you want to. The point isn't to put people out, it's to provide everyone a chance to be someone else's holiday elf--to spread the joy. Gifts can be made anonymously or not--it's your call.

There are no rules with this project, no guarantees, and no strings attached. Just...wish, and it might come true. Give, and you might receive. And you'll have the joy of knowing you made someone's holiday special.

1. Fanart -- of the boys, fics, whatever. Yeah, I know I get this regularly from Nekuyo, but if anyone else wants to give it a shot, feel free. I like all pics.
2. An "Eureka Daily News" icon for eurekasims -- I'll have pictures of all three main Villager families up by Sunday if you want to include them.
3. If you have either the first "Mr. Wisdom" episode or "My Pop's An Alien" episode of the TAS and have the inclination and know-how to get it up on YouTube, please do! They're not on the tapes and I really want to see them! Especially the first "Mr. Wisdom," which I missed during its run on the FoxBox.
4. Interesting links you think I might like.
5. Somebody suggest a title for "Time Mix-Up!" The basic plot is that Marty Junior and Marty get switched while the twins are visiting 1987.
6. I don't know if anyone here can make Sim clothes, but I'd love Doc's end-of-Part III outfit as a Sim outfit.

And I can't think of anything else (not giving out my address for real-life stuff here), so yeah.


Now, to play Sims and get my updates for RPD out of the way.

Awww, it's such a cute story!

It's so cute that a small baby could master such a complex term. Maybe Doc should be more cautious in discussing time travel around a small baby. :)

Damn! I have all of the TAS episodes (somewhere in the many boxes of tapes), but no way of uploading them. Would you be interested in a VHS tape of copied episodes if I could manage it? These are the original episodes off of CBS, btw, not the hacked up versions that aired on FoxBox.

I appreciate the thought, but my parents are pretty adamant about me not giving out our address or anything like that over the web. :( I asked for more of the official tapes for Christmas, but it seems like some of the best episodes were never put on tape!

It especially kills me that I COULD have had the first "Mr. Wisdom" -- stupid VCR!

. . . Find it ironic that, for someone who ranted about how bad the series was, I really seem to like it? ^^;

[bttfbabe.livejournal.com]

Dang, that's too bad. I understand where they're coming from, though. You can't be too careful these days. I really wish I had the capability and the know-how to put these eps on the web for you. (I guess that will be the next thing I'll be teaching myself how to do. :))

I don't know why the whole series was never released. I think they only put something like nine or twelve episodes on those tapes. Why bother, then?

What killed me about the Fox Box syndication was that they cut the episodes down to allow for their massive amount of commercials. Your Mr. Wisdom episode was one of them, actually. I know of at least one line of dialogue that was axed out.

My philosophy is to air it like it was meant to be aired or don't air it at all.
