Back To The Future
The creature reached into his belt and withdrew something that looked extremely lethal. It was made of one solid piece of hard shiny material with a round hole, about two inches in diameter at the end. From a distance of six feet, George could plainly hear its low hum and feel heat radiating from its nozzle.
“Don’t speak or get out of bed!” the alien ordered. “My heat ray will vaporize you if you do not obey me!” George raised his hands above his head.
“All right,” he whined. “I surrender.”
A strange beeping sound came from the alien. Lowering the heat ray, the creature lifted its right arm to listen to the sounds.
“What’s—” George began.
“Silence! I am receiving a transmission from the Battlestar Galactica!”
After emitting several more beeps, the object on the alien’s arm lapsed into silence.
“You, George McFly, have created a rift in the spacetime continuum—” the creature said.
“I’m sorry,” George whispered. “I’ll repair any damage I did—”
“I said, silence! The Supreme Klingon hereby commands you to take the female earth person called ‘Baines, Lorraine’ to the—”
“You mean Lorraine Baines?”
“Of course, earthling! You are hereby ordered to take this Baines female person to the location known as Hill Valley High School exactly four earth cycles from now—”
“Earth cycles?”
“Days, stupid!”
“That’s Saturday. School’s closed on Saturday.”
“There is an event at school Saturday!”
“Oh, you mean the dance?”
“Exactly!”
“I’m ordered to take Lorraine to the dance?”
“Affirmative!”
“Does she know about this?”
“No. It is not necessary.”
“But I don’t know if I’ll be able to—”
The creature made a movement with his hands, causing the avalanche of sound to start again in George’s ears. He screamed.
“Stop! Please stop it!” The noise was stopped.
“You must not protest our decisions or you will be made to hear the brain-paralyzing sound all the time,” the alien threatened. “It will melt your brain.”
“No,” George moaned. “I’m sorry. It’s just that I don’t know how to approach Lorraine.”
“You will know at the time. We will give you the necessary confidence.”
“You will?”
“Yes.”
