"Well, Doc," Marty said, after the DeLorean broke the barrier. "Do you think we're back home, yet? It's so hard to believe that over two days has passed for us."

"According to the locator display over here," Doc replied, "I think we are finally back in the world that we belong to. I'm pretty sure this won't be another false alarm. The three of us did work diligently to replace the drive, and set everything up."

"Anyway, Doc," Marty said, smiling, "do you think we'll be taking other trips through alternate realities, now that we know how to keep the drive from being corrupted?"

"Well, it does seem a little safer than time travel," Doc replied. "We probably should not make it into a regular routine, though. Personally, I really would like to just stay here in in this reality and time period. I am a being worn out, though."

"Hey, what about the reality where we started having that fight?" Marty asked. "Don't you think we should go back there, and let our counterparts know that we made up?"

Doc was silent for a minute, then he said, "You know, I think you're right."

oooooooooo

"Hey, Mommy! Mommy!" called out Verne. "Can we have some ice cream, now? We are both really hungry, and we did eat all of our lunches."

"Yeah, Mom," added Jules, "I'm really hungry for some chip and mint ice cream. You know, Mom, you make really nice chicken sandwiches. I ate three of them."

"Well, you sure have a really hearty appetite," Clara said, indulgently. "Anyway, why don't you just wait until Daddy returns? In the meantime, how would you boys like to watch a movie? We can watch Mind Warped! I know you really love that movie!"

"Yes, please!" Verne replied, excitedly. "I really love watching that movie a lot. So is that the movie that Marty played the lead role in?"

"That's not Marty, honey," Clara corrected her son. "That's Michael J Fox. He does look a lot like Marty, but he is someone different. In fact, I don't think Marty even met Michael J Fox. So, you do want to watch that movie?"

"Yes, please," Verne replied. "That's one of my favourite movies. I love how Brent finds himself in another dimension, and he is so confused about what's going on."

"Yeah, it's so awesome!" added Jules. "I sometimes wonder what it would be like, if I woke up in a different dimension. I want to watch that movie, too."

"All right, boys" Clara said, smiling. She reached for the movie, and she plopped it into the VCR. She was amazed by how much changed within the last century. "You boys can have some ice cream after Daddy gets home. I promise."

"When is Daddy getting home?" Verne asked. "He went out with Marty, right?"

"You daddy should be back very shorty, honey," Clara replied. "Marty will probably be coming back with him, too. They just had to, uh, run a few errands."

After Clara reached for the remote control and turned the TV on, she smiled at her two sons. There was one thing she was certain of - she loved her family a lot.

oooooooooo

"Home again! Home again!" Doc sang out, as he was driving the DeLorean into the garage. "I also see Jules and Verne peeking out from the living room window. This looks so familiar to me. I really think that we did finally make it home."

"Well, let's not get too excited, yet," Marty replied. "We do want to be sure of this. I mean, we do still have to make sure that Haven is the right age."

"Hey, Daddy! Daddy!" Verne called out, as he and Jules ran into the garage. "It's so nice to see you again! Mommy said that we can have some ice cream, after you get home. Do you want some ice cream, too? I love chip and mint!"

"Daddy is stuffed now," Doc replied, as he put one arm around Verne, and the other arm around Jules. "So, have the two of you been good little boys today?"

"We certainly have," Verne said, smiling. "We're watching Mind Warped. That's such a great movie!" Then, turning to Marty, Verne asked, "Hey, Marty, do you ever wish that you were Michael J Fox? He looks a lot like you, and he's a good actor."

"Well, I admire Michael," Marty replied, as he hugged Verne. The whole conversation they were having seemed more than a little familiar. "I can't honestly say that I wish I was him, though. To me, music is more my thing than acting is."

"Do you think you might ever become as famous as Michael J Fox?" asked Verne.

"Well, I do hope to become a famous rock star, someday," Marty replied. "Actually, it looks like I will become a famous rock star. However, I'm not sure if I'll ever become more famous than Michael. Maybe, one day, I could actually write a theme song for a movie that Michael can star in. Wouldn't that be nice? I would love that a lot."

"Hello, honey," Clara said, she walked outside. "It's so great that you're home. Why don't the two of you come in." Turning to the boys, she asked, "Would you two mind starting the movie over, so that Dad and I can watch it with you guys?"

Before the boys could answer, there was crying coming from inside the house.

"That must be Haven," Clara said, sighing. "She must be really hungry, now. I'll fix up a bottle for her - so, Emmett, why don't you go tend to Haven?"

"That's not a problem at all," Doc replied, as everyone stepped back into the house.

"After I fix up a thing of formula for Haven," Clara told the boys, "then I'll scoop up some ice cream for the two of you. Just head back into the living room and wait for us, okay?"

"Formula, eh?" Marty asked, smiling. Turning to Doc, he said, "If Haven is still young enough to be drinking formula, then I think we truly are back home."

"Well, let's go into her room and check," Doc suggested. After he opened up the door to Haven's bedroom, everything seemed to be back to normal.

"It sure looks like Haven is back to being a two week old infant," Marty commented, as he lifted up the baby. Marty started to bounce the baby up and down, and Haven smiled up at Marty. It felt so good to finally be home.

oooooooooo

"Hey, Marty, are you asleep?" Lorraine asked, as she walked into Marty's bedroom.

"Oh, hi, Mom," Marty said, as he was stretching his arms. "I was feeling very tired, I really did have to take a little nap. So what time is it?"

"Well, it is four o'clock now," Lorraine replied. "Jennifer just stopped over, and she was wondering if you two would like to eat dinner at Francesca's Italian Diner. The other thing I needed to tell you was that your father did finish up writing that short story, and he wanted you to read you before he sent it in."

"Sure, Mom, Jennifer and I can read it when we go out," Marty said, excitedly. "I'm sure it's a really good story, like everything else he wrote."

"Well, he said that the main character was inspired by you," Lorraine said, smiling.

As Marty threw his arms around Lorraine, Jennifer suddenly stepped into the room.

"Oh, Jennifer, are you a sight for sore eyes," Marty said, as he hugged Jennifer.

"Time travelling again?" Jennifer asked, smiling.

"No, this time we were hopping through dimensions," Marty explained. "It's been a little over two days for us. Let me guess, you did had this dentist appointment, but then it was suddenly cancelled. Is that right?"

"Yeah, Marty, you're right," Jennifer said, laughing nervously. "So, Marty, how many realities have you hopping through - and what did you find out?"

"Well, I'll tell you all about it over dinner," Marty said, as he threw his arms around Jennifer. "I could tell you one thing, though. In every single reality, you and I were together. I think this is a very good sign for the two of us, you know."

"So there wasn't a you who was with someone else?" Jennifer asked.

"There is one exception," Marty said, nervously. "In the last reality we visited, the counterparts of myself and Doc that were in that Biffhorrific reality found a way to travel back to that fateful day in 1955. There, they had met my counterparts from the 'normal' reality - so, after everybody returned to 1985, there were two of Doc and two of me. The 'normal' me was still dating you, but the Hell Valley version of me was dating your cousin, Sarah. I know how close the two of you are."

"Oh, wow!" gasped Jennifer. "Well, let's head off to dinner now, shall we?"

"That's a really good idea," Marty replied, just as the two of them began to kiss.
