- Bill to Ted Logan

Bill S. Preston is a character on How It Should Have Ended. He is from Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure and is voiced by Daniel Baxter.

Background
William "Bill" S. Preston, Esquire is a high-school student and native of San Dimas, California. He is one of the two central characters in the science fiction comedy film Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure. He was portrayed by British-American actor Alex Winter.

Born into a wealthy but eccentric family, Bill enjoys spending time with friend and bandmate, Ted Logan, at the expense of his studies. Both he and Ted are doing poorly in History class, to the point that at the beginning of the first film they were in danger of failing if they did not receive an A on their final report. Unbeknownst to him and Ted, Rufus, an observer from the future San Dimas, perceives a serious threat to the culture of his era, as the small garage band holds a godlike status in his time. Due to them nearly flunking History, the two must make a presentation and get a passing grade in order to stay together and therefore continue their band, so Rufus lends them his phone booth time-machine, similar in appearance to the TARDIS from Doctor Who.

The pair makes a wild run across history in search of help for their presentation, bringing Napoleon Bonaparte, Billy the Kid, Socrates, Sigmund Freud, Ludwig van Beethoven, Genghis Khan, Joan of Arc, and Abraham Lincoln to the present to give their report in a "show-and-tell" format and successfully pass their History class.
