Timeless Friends
Doc felt a pang every time he watched the boy walk to school. He hadn’t thought to ask time-travelling teenaged Marty how they’d met, and now he was constantly afraid of further damaging the timeline.
Until the twelve-year-old’s skateboard crashed into Doc’s trash cans, and he couldn’t help seeing if Marty was hurt. Their friendship had progressed naturally from there.
“Marty,” said Doc, slowly, after his friend had returned from 1955. “In the original timeline… how did we meet?”
“Crashed my skateboard outside your house, and you offered to teach me physics,” Marty said, easily. “Why?”
Doc smiled. “No reason.”
