"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" Doc, Clara, and Verne shouted as Jules entered the kitchen. The now twelve-year-old had come down the stairs in his night shirt and nearly jumped out of his skin when his family shouted. He looked at them and smiled big.

"Thank you family," Jules said and went over and hugged his mother and father. Jules did the secret handshake with Verne and patted Einstein on the head. He sat down at the table and a plate of sausages and canberry pancakes was set in front of him.

"I can't believe you're twelve already," Clara said as she took a seat too. "Time sure does fly."

"Actually mother," Jules began. "Since I was born in 1886 that would make me 106 years old but yes, chronologically I'm twelve."

"Just shut up and eat your pancakes," Verne teased as he devoured his own cranberry pancakes. Jules shrugged and started eating too.

"Jules," Clara began with a smile and sat down opposite of her oldest child. "Your father and I were talking last night and we decided that-"

"We are going to allow you to have a male and female party. Your mother even took the liberty of calling all your classmates and friends." Doc said and Jules smiled widely even though his mouth was full of pancakes. "However there is a catch."

"You are not allowed to exclude your brother," Clara said and Verne shot Jules a victorious look, like he had won something awesome.

"Well all right," Jules said and brought his plate to the sink. He didn't really mind Verne being at his party since they were never the type of siblings whom constantly embarrassed each other. It was all right as long as Verne didn't reveal any secrets or show them that baby photo of Jules in the tub.

Jules then headed up the stairs to get ready for school. He may have found this childish, but he couldn't wait until his party.

7:02 PM

Jules was going around the living room and fixing things in preparation for the guests arriving. He was very nervous at the fact that some popular kids were coming to his house. Jules had learned of course that it wasn't everything to be popular but it would make life at school easiern. But what made him even more nervous was the fact that GIRLS were coming to his party.

Lately, being around the female species was becomming more and more confusing. Jules would always have no idea what to say and always felt uncomfortable and flustered. It reminded him of what he felt when being near Franny Philips. He wished he could be as smooth with girls as Marty or Tino Hendriks. Tino Hendriks was popular and never got flustered around girls.

The doorbell suddenly rang and Jules nearly jumped a foot high. He heard his mother answer the door and soon the living room was filled with fellow kids. Quite a turnout actually, the honor roll students were there, Jules' and Verne's friend Josh was there, and (much to Jules' surprise) Tino and his gang were there.

The party actually kicked off. Everyone was talking or dancing to provided music instead of lounging around bored. Verne, however, did find the party boring and snuck upstairs with Josh to play video games.

"Great party Jules," Kevin said. Kevin was an honor roll student and one of Jules' closest friends.

"Yeah boss party," James said. James was Jules' other closest friend and the chess club captain.

Jules was about to say something when he notice someone leaning against the wall. Well, more specifically a girl leaning against the wall. She was pretty even though she was dressed like a "tomboy" fashion. Jules excused himself from his friends and started walking over to the girl. He figured that since he was now twelve he would fair better with females.

"Hello," Jules said to the girl. She rised the flap of her baseball cap and looked at Jules.

"Hi," she said. "Your birthday boy, right?"

"Yes," Jules said and looked at his feet. What was he supposed to saw now?

"It's kind of warm in here," the girl said and started towards the door. "Wanna go outside?"

"O-okay," Jules stammered and snuck outside with the girl.

The night air was nice and cold with approaching winter. Jules zipped up his hoodie jacket so the wind wouldn't chill him.

"I didn't catch your name," Jules said as they started walking.

"It's Kate," Kate said. She was leading the way over to the barn that served as Doc's lab. "What's in there?"

"Oh just my father's labrotory," Jules said and tried to block Kate from going into the lab. He was sure that his father didn't want him bringing strangers into his lab. In fact, it was one of the Brown family rules. "We can't go in."

"Aw come on," Kate urged. "I just want to take a peek."

She took Jules' hand and pulled him forward. Jules was so distracted by a girl holding his hand that he didn't bother to stop her.

The lab was dark until Kate found the light switch. Everything was suprisingly tidy with the DeLorean time machine with a car cover on it. Kate was looking around at all the stuff in the lab but she was completely facsinated with the covered car. Before Jules could stop her, Kate went up to the hiden time machine and pulled the cover off of it.

"Oh sweet!" Kate exclaimed. She started running around the car looking in the windows and under the hood. "A DMC-12 1982! They don't even make these anymore! Your dad sure tricked it out weird."

"Kate we should leave," Jules said quickly and pulled the cover back onto the DeLorean. Kate grabbed Jules' hand again to stop him. She looked him in the eyes.

"Let's go for a ride in it," She said. "Come on your dad won't even know. DeLoreans are a smooth ride."

"My father will know," Jules said sternly. "This DeLorean is... well very special to him. We can't-"

Before Jules could finish protesting, Kate full on kissed him. Jules had never been kissed by a girl before and this completely astonished him. By the time Kate removed her lips, Jules was so dazed that he didn't even notice Kate pulling him in the car.

Kate sat in the driver's seat and turned the keys (which were stupidly left in the ignition) and started the car. They backed out of the lab and started driving around the yard. Jules was biting his lip, his stomache in knots. He wanted so bad for Kate to put the DeLorean back in the lab and come back to the party with him. But he couldn't say anything because he didn't want Kate to get angry.

She was a better driver than he had thought. Kate managed to circle the yard three whole times without. She was going faster and faster each time and Jules' eyes were glued to the speed-o-meter.

60.

70.

75...

CRASH!

Before Jules could even contemplate what was happening, he found himself thrown on the dashboard of the car. He heard Kate shout something and felt her bump into his shoulder. There was a horrible sound of metal being smashed and small sparks flew past the cracked windshield.

"Oh no," Jules whispered, fear enveloping him. He opened the gull wing door, jumped out, and dashed around the side of the car to see what had happened.

Kate had crashed them right into a tree. The complete front of the DeLorean had dented in from the impact of the tree. Some sticks had fallen on the car and scratched some of the upper hood. The windshield was also cracked right down the very middle. Jules examined the delicate wiring of tubes that was on the outside of the time machine and discovered that they were broken in three different places.

"Oh crap," Jules heard Kate say as she got out. He turned around toward the house and saw the door open and two figures run out. Probably his mother and father.

"Great Scott!" Doc yelled as he saw the car wreck before him. Jules was still standing near the front of the DeLorean. The twelve-year-old saw that his father was more shocked than furious, but he didn't know how long that state would last.

Clara was standing behind Doc and had her hand covering her mouth. She immediatly went up to her oldest child and was checking him for any broken bones. Doc, after he was assured that Jules was all right, checked his time machine out. He saw the damages to the tubes and the destruction of the front and shook his head.

The two parents turned to their son, now very angry. Jules was at lost for words and looked to and fro for Kate.

The girl was gone.

Jules felt angry that Kate had just took off but took a deep breath to calm himself. He turned back to his parents and steadied himself.

"Jules I hope you have an explanation," Doc said.

"I do father," Jules said and commenced telling them the whole story.

Jules had raked practically all of the orange and yellow leaves into one big pile. This is was one of the labors he had to do for the "fix the time machine fund." Jules had to earn all the money needed for tools and materials that were needed in order to repair the DeLorean. Doc said that if Jules worked efficiently, the time machine would be fixed.

Verne was sitting with his back up against the tree drawing on a pad of paper. He had felt sorry that Jules had gotten in trouble and had secretly helped with the chores. But right now he was just drawing while Jules raked some more stray leaves into the pile.

"So how long are you grounded?" Verne asked. His brother had not talked about his exact sentence.

"It was two weeks," Jules said as he moved the rake to and fro. "But it changed to one because I was behaving well."

"So you can go to Josh's birthday party next month?" Verne asked.

"I suppose I will," Jules said and then changed the subject. "Verne please learn from my mistake and don't repeat it. Don't go along with anything stupid just to please a female."

"Roger dodger!" Verne said and saluted his older brother. He tossed his drawing to the side and charged at his brother. Verne knocked Jules into the pile of leaves and began playfully wrestling him.

They both started laughing.
