Authors Notes: I should let you know that this story is almost finished. Also, for those of you who are interested, I just edited the Prologue of Kidnapped to make mention of all my AUs (including my newer ones, like the Haven Universe and the Parker Universe) that Celeste had visited. It's an extremely condensed version of linking between all my AUs.

"So what's the plan, now, Doc?" Marty asked, nervously - as the DeLorean just broke the space-time barrier. "I guess all that inter-dimensional hopping is starting to really get to you, isn't it? I was just so broken-hearted, when you got so mad at me."

"Marty," Doc said, in a near whisper, "I feel really horrible about the way that I have acted towards you. I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to forgive myself about this."

"Well, Doc," Marty said, quietly. "I will be honest with you. It will probably take me a little while, before I can feel real comfortable around you again. I mean, I'm worried that I may end up saying the wrong thing again - only to have you get very violently angry with me again. It may take awhile for those bruises to heal, you know."

"Yeah, I understand, Marty," Doc said, blinking back tears. "I guess I should consider myself lucky that you're, at least, willing to give me another chance."

"Well, Doc, your friendship is important to me," Marty said, as he was on the verge of tears. "That's why I was real upset when got so angry with me. I mean, I nearly lost you a few times - and I really couldn't stand the idea of you hating me."

"Listen, Marty," Doc said, gently, "when we return home, I will try to do everything I can do to make things up to you. I guess I was just feeling rather agitated, so when you said that you wish you didn't agree to come to 2015 with me - it just rubbed me the wrong way. I took it as though you wished I was still single, so that's that."

"To be honest with you, Doc," Marty said, as he was trembling with anxiety, "I admit that I do miss the days, when it was just you and me. However, I think it is nice that you have a family, now. After all, I have Jennifer - so I should be happy for you."

"You know, Marty," Doc said, softly, "I really have many fond memories of the days when it was just you and me, so I understand how you feel. However, now that I do have Clara in my life - I feel a lot happier than I ever have. Marty, I notice that you are trembling. I guess my outburst towards you shook you up very badly, didn't it?"

"I'm sorry, Doc," Marty said, blinking back tears. "I sure hate being like this around you, as you have been my friend for a long time. It's just that, well, I dunno."

"Well, Marty," Doc said, as he leaned over to gently squeeze Marty's shoulder, "just try to relax a little. Anyway, we're almost at Lyon Estates, now."

oooooooooo

"So you really are planning a double wedding?" Calvin asked of Doc and Chris.

"I just thought it would be a really neat idea," Chris said, smiling. "I'm really in love with Jessica, while Emmett is in love with Clara. Also, Clara is Jessica's ancestor, so it's only fitting that we all celebrate our union as such. I am so happy about this!"'

"Yes, I really see the physical resemblance between Clara and Jessica," Marty said, smiling. "Clara has brown hair and brown eyes, and Jessica has blond hair and blue eyes - but the body shapes are certainly the same. Good luck to all of you."

"Of course," Doc added, "we would like you and Jennifer to be the Best Man and the Maid of Honour at our wedding. I think you guys really do deserve it, after all."

"What about Sarah and me?" asked Calvin. "I know I haven't been dating Sarah as long, but we are going to stand up in the wedding, aren't we?"

"Of course," Doc replied, smiling. "Tomorrow, we could maybe order stuffed shells from Francesca's Italian Diner - and all eight of us can have a special dinner."

"So Tabitha won't be with us?" Calvin asked. "She was married to Brad, back when we were in the other world. I hope she'll be able to find someone some day."

"Well, she is going to be in Sacramento with Sabrina for awhile," Doc explained. "I do remember Sabrina's reaction to meeting her counterpart from the other world. She is really fond of her counterpart, though. At least Tabitha had a relatively normal life."

"I was stuck in the mental institution for two years," Chris said, sighing. "Everything just seemed so hopeless to me. I did miss Marty quite a lot, as well. The week from 1955 was probably one of the highest moments in my life."

"It's so amazing how November 12 was when our timelines started to diverge," Doc said, with amazement. "I did once comment how that point in time might inherently contain some sort of cosmic significance, almost as if it were the junction point for the entire space-time continuum. On the other hand, it could just be an amazing coincidence. Even now, I'm not exactly sure which is really the truth."

Just then, the doorbell rang. Everyone got up to see who it could possibly be.

"Great Scott!" Doc gasped, as he opened up the door. "I see there is another me, as well another Marty. Where did the two of you come from?"

"We came here from an alternate reality," the visiting Doc explained. "This is actually the ninth reality we had mentioned, and I am sure hoping that you guys may be able to take a look at the destination locator - and find out what's wrong."

"Destination locator," the local Doc said, almost to himself. "I do, in fact, have one installed to my stationwagon time machine. I have yet to add one to the DeLorean time machine, though. Was it made out of computer parts from the year 2030?"

"Yes, yes, it was!" the visiting Doc said, excitely. "You may just be the answer to my prayers. I was started to get real agitated, that I even had a huge fight in the reality that we last visited. With great thanks to Marty's persistence, however, we managed to finally make up. I think poor Marty is still a little shaken up by the fight, though."

"That must have been one hell of a fight," the local Doc replied. "Anyway, it's getting a little late, now - but, tomorrow, we can check to see if we can figure out what went wrong with your destination locator. I could scoop up some ice cream for now."

"That would be great," the visiting Marty replied, smiling. Turning to the local Marty and Calvin, he asked, "What about you? Are the two of you identical twins."

"Yeah, in a manner of speaking, we are," Calvin explained. "I really came from that world where Biff Tannen killed my father and married my mother, and I was sent to a boarding school in Switzerland. Doc was also committed in the year 1983."

"Whoa, this is heavy!" the visiting Marty breathed, as he realized just exactly what his counterpart was referring to. This was that counterpart who was got kicked out from a boarding school in the Biffhorrific timeline. It was actually him!

"Great Scott!" the visiting Doc gasped. Turning to the local Doc, he asked, "Are you the one who was actually committed in that awful Biffhorrific world?"

"That wasn't me," the local Doc replied. Motioning towards Chris, he added, "The one with the curly brown hair is my counterpart from that reality. We decided it was best if my counterpart altered his appearances in the future. So he decided that he would choose the name Christopher Lloyd Brown. I thought it was a very clever idea."

"I love that name," the visiting Marty said, admiring. Turning to Calvin, he asked, "So what name did you pick for yourself? Was it, by any chance, Michael Fox McFly?"

"No," Calvin replied, as he burst out laughing. "Actually, I decided to become Calvin William McFly. My parents said that it would by my name, if I was Marty's twin!"

"Whoa!" the visiting Marty gasped. "You know, in the first alternate reality that Doc and I decided to drop by - my counterpart really did, in fact, have an identical twin who named Calvin William McFly. Then there was the other reality where my other self was re-named Calvin Seamus McFly, while Dave was renamed Martin."

"That is very interesting," Calvin commented. "So you did end up visiting our world for a little while? It looks like your life was very similar to that of my counterpart."

"I have a feeling that our lives were the same," the local Marty added, "until you all ended up coming back to 1955 to take the almanac away. Say, are you guys aware of a movie trilogy in another universe called Back to the Future?"

"Back to the Future is a trilogy?" the visiting Marty gasped. "I know that there was a movie filmed about Doc and myself, when I had accidentally ended up in the Family Ties Universe - but I never knew that it was a trilogy! You're bullshitting me!"
