Another brief microfic for the Micro-Crack-Crossover Challenge (try saying that when drunk) on the official terminator wiki. Needless to say, it's a cross-over inspired by Back to the Future and as the challenge title suggests it ain't to be taken seriously. :P
This was the general idea:
"2 post limit. Cross TSCC over with something unexpected. The more 'out there' the better. meaning, don't do a BSG or Star Trek crossover... that would be too obvious and easy."
Back From The Future
John was wearily putting out the garbage when suddenly a loud noise caught his attention. At first, he had thought was just a car back-firing, but then there was a flash of light and an old DeLorean pulled into the driveway. It was covered in a thin layer of ice and steam was rising from the bodywork.
Cameron climbed out of the time machine. She was wearing what could only be described as an eighties' take on the future of fashion. John didn't have a clue what was going on.
"Cam.. what the hell are you wearing?" he laughed, staring at her hideously mismatched clothing, as she leaned against the car.
"Clothing from the future. Bright primary colors are all the rage in 2015. Unlike you, Future John appreciates the luminous-green spandex clothes I bought him for his birthday. Our clothes dry themselves, our jackets auto-shrink to fit us and our shoes tie themselves. It is an enlightened age."
"Don't tell me – you're from the year 2015 and that car is your time machine."
"Yes, a time machine. It has a flux capacitor and runs on potato peelings. I brought you back a tight gift."
She reached into the rear passenger seat and took out a three foot long plastic board. It resembled a pink and green skateboard without wheels.
"It's a hoverboard. It hovers."
"Uh.. right, thanks for that. So.. what happens with Judgment Day?"
"You prevent Judgment Day."
"So then... why are you here? More to the point, how can you exist if Skynet never came about?"
"You had me built. I was sent here to help you..."
Suddenly the front door opened and another Cameron strolled out into the front yard. It was the present Cameron from 2007. The two cyborgs studied each other from a distance. Presumably comparing clothing.
"Hello. I know you."
"I know you too."
They both turned to stare at John. "Will someone please explain to me what the hell is going on here!"
Future Cameron shrugged, "You sent me back from 2015, John. You never mentioned why. Only that I had to help you."
It suddenly hit him. He slowly raised an eyebrow. "So there's two of you now...?"
"Yes." They replied in unison, their eyes focussed on him. John felt that tonight was going to be the luckiest night of his life.
As always, your feedback and reviews are very welcome. :)
