Q: Macbook Pro to Macbook Pro Screens

Is it possible for me to use an older Macbook pro (mid 2009) AS a second display for a new 2015 Macbook Pro? The 2009 MBP has Firewire, Mini Display Port, and USB ports. The 2015 has Thunderbolt, HDMI, and USB. I was trying to get Target Display Mode to work, but I probably don't have the right connection. Does a Thunderbolt to USB adapter exist, and would it allow for the older MBP be an external monitor for the newer MBP - USB to Thunderbolt adapter to Thunderbolt port on newer MBP and main computer?

MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.4)
