2015. HILL VALLEY. The streets were shut down in the air to allow for as many individuals to crowd the front of the courthouse as possible. Managing attendance became impossible as people poured into the area causing for security to find the show hazardous with the large lake centered in the middle. Setting up their instruments at the top Paul made the mistake of looking for a moment before bringing his head up again. "We're too old for this."

Lee stood where Paul was and let in a deep laugh over how high they were. "Nah, keeps us on our toys, keeps us young!" He exclaimed into the sky, "We're not even that old anyways. None of us have even hit 50 yet, don't do that to me."

Peeking a head out and getting some assistance from those on the roof Mickey let out a laugh over the set-up. "Oh you're kidding me?" Hugging Lee he led her over the edge and tutted under her breath. "Should've gone on the skyway."

"This is why I like you," He told her, rubbing the top of her head revealing some of the grays underneath the dyed red.

Picking up his sticks from below Bobby and Jennifer came up next holding one another for support before noticing their other friends on the edge. "God get away from there!" He yelled out for Lee and Mickey to stick their tongues back at them. Rolling his eyes he sat behind the drum kit while Jen laughed at his display. "I'm too old for this."

"You're speaking my language, DeLapp," Paul mentioned before brightening up over the sight of Stella. Rushing to lend her a hand she took it with a smile before helping the oldest of the their kids along with them.

"I'm taking you one at a time this is ridiculously unsafe," Stella called down to the others.

"Then why is dad doing it!" The twelve year old and youngest of the Beckett-Hanson family, Elaine, called out from the bottom.

The oldest, Billy, held onto his dad to look out wide-eyed to the view. Noticing Lee and Mickey on the edge he began to make his way in familiarity before being tugged back by his dad. Shooting his friend a knowing glance he raised his hand defensively over the matter.

Inside the courthouse beginning to make their way back up Amanda fixed Marty's jacket. Making sure the pin was fastened on she smiled pleased before noticing he had been watching her do this the whole time. "Stay safe up there." Hearing Paul arguing with Lee over bringing his Elaine to the edge from below she held in her laugh. "We'll come up once all of you are done."

"That'd be smart," Marty said, fixing the photo on his guitar to make sure it was secured even with the wind outside.

Amanda smiled over her younger self in the photo and held it for a second. "Why are you keeping that on there?"

"It's my good luck charm," He told her easily, cupping her cheek to kiss her forehead, "You're my good luck charm."

"You're already married, can you quit it?" The couple turned back to their youngest, Lewis, smiling to cut between them in order to hug Marty goodbye. "You can keep me down here, I'm not dealing with heights."

The oldest of the two, Ziggy, followed soon after to hover behind their brother. "Lee said he'd bungee off the side of the courthouse."
