And so, the story picks up where it left off...

-
Now Alexa was in disbelief. She thought about it for a while and eventually said, "Why not?" They set up the tent in their backyard, and as in a respectable campfire, they lit the fire. With the fire blazing merrily, they snuggled under a cozy blanket and held each other tight. The twilight around them , gave off a fiery haze in the distance, as the sun bid its last adieu to the day.

Everything seemed nice until they heard some steps behind their tent. They got out of the tent, to find a short statured guy wearing a radiation suit. Even though they could not see his face, his actions clearly indicated that he was delirious. Grabbing Alex by both shoulders, the man in the radiation suit inquired "What year is this?" 

Shivering and stuttering Alex answered "it... it... it's 2025", listening to these words, the man in the radiation suits threw Alex away and yelled "damn! It's happened again".

Then the Doc says "Come on Marty, I mean Alex it's time to go back to 1985". "Sweet" said Alex and he hopped into the DeLorean, "Hey Doc there isn't enough road to travel." Said Alex
Doc pulled down his strange sunglasses and said "Where we are going we don't need roads". The DeLorean lifted and in a flash of light quickly disappeared into the night sky.

Then there stood Alexa and Marty (Radiation suit guy), perplexed and shell shocked at exactly what had happened. Alexa immediately fell on her knees; bawling her eyes out, she couldn't believe that Alex had left her like that. But soon she realised that she wasn't alone. Fueled by Alex's betrayal, she picked up a burning log from the campfire, and charged at Marty.

"Woah this is heavy" said Marty as he dodged the charging log girl. Alexa tripped and fell dropping the burning log to the ground. Marty helped her up and that is when Alexa realized that Marty was hotter than Alex. "Wow " she said and batted her eyelashes. 

In the warm glow of the camp fire, Alexa could only partially see Marty's face, but that's all it took for her to calm down. He helped Alexa get up, and took her inside the house. As soon as he settled her down on the couch, Marty turned around , took off his helmet and started admiring the house. While fiddling with the flat screen TV, with his back still towards Alexa, he asked "By the way, what's your name". She replied "Alexa McFly".

Well thought Alexa that put a kabosh to my plans...

"Uncle Marty?" Alexa squeaked, "But but you are so so young".
Marty looked questionly at the young lady, wondering if she hit her noggin too hard when she fell.

"Uncle?" Marty said "I am no one's uncle". ....

April Fools!

April Fools' Day is celebrated around the world and known as Poisson d'Avril in France, Hunt-the-Gowk Day in Scotland, and Sizdah Bedar in Iran. The most popular theory about how this festival began dates back to 1582, when France switched from the Julian calendar to the Gregorian calendar. According to the Julian calendar, people celebrated New Year's Day around 1st April. When the calendar was changed, New Year's Day moved to 1st January, and those who still celebrated it in April were called April fools. April Fools' Day is a day for jokes and tricks. As for the FluentEnglish community, it was celebrated by speaking different languages. How much do you know about an English playwright, poet and actor, William Shakespeare? Here are his most common words and phrases: Thou - You (subject) Thee - You (object) Thy - Your (before consonants) Thine - Your (before vowels/at the end of a sentence)     Ye - You (plural)               ...
