Marty awoke from his bed. He wondered if the whole time travel thing was all a dream. He noticed something different about his room- maybe it was the cleaner floor and picture of him and his siblings in fancy dress. Marty realized that maybe it hadn't been a dream, or the picture was always like that, and Marty didn't notice. He noticed that Linda's dress said, "Class of '84", just like her sweatshirt in the old timeline. Marty wondered if this was an effect of giving his mother confidence in 1955. He left his room, heading for the breakfast room- only to find the living room had entirely different furniture. His siblings, Dave and Linda, were sitting, clad in quite elegant clothes, at the table. Dave lacked his trademark Burger King hat, was reading a fantastic magazine, and was eating a breakfast of Eggs Benedict, which Marty knew he had never had for breakfast in his life. "What're you wearing, Dave?" asked Marty.
"Marty, I always wear a suit to the office." said Dave.
"Hey Dave, tell Paul I'll be busy tonight, but we can make our date tomorrow." said Linda.
"I'm not your answering service, Linda, but someone named Greg or Craig just called you." said Dave.
"Well, was it Greg or Craig?' asked Linda.
"You have boyfriends?" asked Marty.
"Uh, yeah. Where have you been?" asked Linda. It was then that Lorraine and George walked in. George was now physically fit, with a neat streak of gray in his hair and a huge smile. His eyes were also covered by shades. Lorraine was far more confident-looking, with straight hair and a younger face. Marty fainted.
"Are you ok, Marty?" asked Lorraine.
"Did you hit your head?" asked George.
"You guys- look so good!" said Marty.
"Thanks, Marty." his parents replied.
"Marty, Jennifer Parker left a message at 6- you kids and your sleep schedules!" said George. "She's so sweet. Said there's a certain matter you need to discuss- a science project."
"Uh, yeah!" said Marty. "But I thought you didn't like Jennifer!"
"Are you kidding?" asked George. "I'm especially happy that you two lovebirds are going on a trip to the lake!"
"But Mom's car is wrecked!" said Marty.
"Wrecked?" asked Dave. "When did this happen-"
"Don't worry- the cars are fine. In fact, Gumette and Biff are out there cleaning and waxing them right now." said Lorraine. "Now remember, Gumette, a thorough rinse! And Biff, two coats of wax this time for George's car!"
"Uh, Mr. McFly's car is all waxed!" said Biff.
"And I finished rinsing, Mrs. McFly!" said Gumette.
"Don't con me, guys!" shouted Lorraine.
"Right! Just putting on the second coat!" said Biff.
"And I'm a quarter-way through the rinse!" said Gumette.
George and Lorraine laughed, and went into the living room. "Those tricksters!" laughed Lorraine. "We've been keeping them in line since high school."
"Well, if it wasn't for them, we would never have fallen in love." said George.
"You're right," said Lorraine.

Jennifer awoke. She was at her grandmother's house, and everything looked normal. "Was it a dream?" asked Jennifer. She checked the clock. 5:50. It wasn't time to get up yet. However, Jennifer could not fall back to sleep. She decided to give Marty a call, to confirm it really happened. She dialed the number- no one answered, so she left a message. Jennifer went back to her room, and read a book. Around 8:30, she finished. Jennifer went to get some breakfast, and then sat and thought all about the events of the previous week. She remembered them in such accurate detail, without anachronisms, that it had to be real! Jennifer took out her diary, and flipped to the page marked, "October 14th, 1982". She read, "I met Dr. Emmett Brown today. He is eccentric, but fun! I am one of two lab assistants he has, the other being a boy who goes to my school, although we've never really interacted." Jennifer flipped ahead, to September 8th, 1985, and read, "I can't believe my luck! There I was riding my bike back home from the courthouse, and I found Marty, Doc's other lab assistant! He also has feelings for me, like I have feelings for him! We're going to start dating! I knew I'd catch his eye some day!" Jennifer flipped ahead to her last entry, October 25th, and added what seemingly had happened on October 26th ,but had really happened in those faithful seven days of November!
