'Here they are,' Celeste said to Lorraine, as they astrally followed Marty and Calvin into Dr. Brown's garage.

'I see you bought us another amp!' Marty exclaimed, happily. 'Thank you so much! I feel so bad about blowing up your amp three months ago.'

'Ah, yes, the amp,' Celeste gasped. 'It appears that the amp was exploded in Doc's garage in our world, too.'

'Awww, don't worry about it, Marty,' Doc said, softly. 'I guess I did warn you a little too late. I should have let you known sooner.'

'Now, this amp won't blow up on us, right?' Marty asked, somewhat worriedly.

'Oh, no, it won't,' Doc assured Marty. 'I already tested it. The amp will work fine.'

'I guess you weren't kidding!' Lorraine replied, stunned. 'It's hard to believe that Marty has a twin in this world.'

'That's not all,' remarked Celeste. 'This Marty has memories of growing up in our world - well, minus the being shot by Libyan terrorists part. This Marty did manage to escape being shot, and landed in 1955 in Dr. Brown's time machine. This is why you and George are different in this world.'

'Oh, good!' replied Marty, in relief. 'Maybe our band could practice here tomorrow. It would be so nice if we, The Pinheads, could be discovered, someday.'

'Ah, yes, The Pinheads,' gasped Celeste. 'I know that Billy, Joey, and Zach really do miss their buddy a lot. I mean, Marty was the one that held the band together. They ended up disbanding, because they cannot bear to find a replacement for Marty.'

'I would have no problem with that, Marty,' Doc said, softly. 'I mean, you guys really do have a lot of talent.'

'You do a very mean rendition of Power of Love,' Calvin added, 'I'm sure even Huey Lewis would be impressed.'

'Yeah, I'm sure Huey Lewis is nothing like that audition judge who told us we were just 'too darn loud', despite the resemblance,' commented Marty.

'Naaa,' replied Calvin. 'Huey Lewis is probably not like that at all.'

'Anyway, I really do love George,' Lorraine said, sighing. 'Really, I do. I just wish he had more courage to stand up for himself - and to stand up to the likes of Biff Tannen. Oh, I really do miss Marty. It'll be so nice to have him back.'

'Oh, we can easily arrange that,' asssured Celeste. 'Tomorrow, I'll have my machine ready - then we can astrally travel here, and pick up Marty and bring him back home with us.'

'Oh, thanks so much, Celeste,' gasped Lorraine. 'I promise that I'll be a better mother than I was before. I'll even stop lecturing him about Jennifer. In fact, Jennifer and I have bonded a bit in the last few month, over the mutual loss of someone we really love. I feel bad that I was sometimes too hard on him.'

'I'm sure Huey Lewis is a very nice person,' sighed Marty. 'I mean, I am a huge fan and everything. I hope to, one day, meet Huey Lewis.'

'Hey, Doc,' Calvin called out. 'Do you think Marty is obsessed with rock and roll?'

'Oh, no, not this again,' groaned Marty.

'Nope,' Doc said, smiling, 'not anymore than I'm obsessed with science. Calvin, are you obsessed with football? We all have our passions, Calvin.'

'Yeah, I guess,' sighed Calvin. 'It's just that the earliest time period Marty wants to visit is the 1960s. Heck, we were born in 1968, for crying out loud.'

'There's nothing wrong with that, Calvin,' Doc replied. 'We must respect one another's passions. I would like to, one day, visit the Old West - but I would also miss a lot of the modern conveniences, like indoor plumbing.'

'Ah, yes, this Marty is still as good looking, as he was three months ago,' sighed Celeste. 'I never realized that Dr. Brown was so intelligent, that he could create a time machine. It was very foolish of him to make a deal with terrorists, though.'

'It was a very foolish decision that got Marty killed,' Lorraine said, sadly. 'Oh, I really want my Marty back. This world can keep Calvin, but I really want my Marty.'

'You will have Marty back, tomorrow,' said Celeste. 'I promise.'

oooooooooo

'Say, boys, do you guys remember Sabrina?' asked Doc.

'Uh, you mean Sabrina Palmer?' asked Marty.

'Of course! Do you know any other Sabrinas?' Doc teased.

'Awww, Doc,' Marty said, laughing. 'So how is Sabrina doing? I haven't heard from her in awhile?'

'Well, she's busy with nursing school and spending time with her new husband,' Doc explained. 'There's one thing about her that we never told you boys about. Are you ready?'

'Yeah, I guess, Doc,' said Marty. 'I'm not judgemental, as long as she isn't some sort of criminal.'

'Right,' agreed Calvin, 'I don't believe in being judgemental either.'

'Oh, no, she's not a criminal at all,' said Doc. 'She is, however, a witch.'

'Uh, a witch?' stammered Marty stunned. 'I didn't think witches were real - but, then again, there was also a time when I didn't think time travel is real. I'm not sure if I'm ready to accept the existence of witches, though.'

'Yeah,' agreed Calvin, 'I also have a hard time wrapping my mind around the idea that real witches do exist.'

'She's not the stereotypical kind of witch,' Doc explained. 'She does not have the kind of power to just wave a magic wand and make things happen - and she does not worship the devil or practice evil magic. She also does not ride on a broomstick.'

'So what type of magic can she do?' Marty asked, amused.

'Hmm, well, it's a little hard to explain,' Doc said. 'Sabrina could probably explain her powers to you better than I could. She comes from a long line of witches, and she has inherited her magic from her mother.'

'So, is she immortal?' Marty asked. 'Is she human?'

Doc then burst out laughing. 'I can assure you that she is every bit as human as you and I are, Marty. Also, no, she is not immortal. She is not a different species from you and I. She just has some extra abilities that most humans don't have. At any rate, she's been my friend for a long time, about ten years before I met you, even - well, not counting the time that I saw Marty in 1955. I have discussed with her my plans to create a time machine, and she had told me about how she had the ability to astrally time travel.'

'What does that mean?' asked Marty. 'I mean, how do you astrally time travel? What does astral mean, anyway?'

'It's the form of time travel where only your spirit travels through time,' explained Doc. 'Your physical body does not come with you, and you are unable to interact with anyone from other time periods. It's actually much safer than physical time travel, because you do not run the risk of creating time paradoxes, and you will always return to the present. However, you don't get the full experience of visiting other time periods.'

'Whoa, Doc, this is heavy,' said Marty.

'That sound sound like a rather interesting concept,' remarked Calvin.

'Anyway,' said Marty, 'Maybe The Pinheads and I could come here tomorrow around three. Thank you so much for the amp, Doc.'

Then Marty and Doc embraced.
