A couple of hours later we got back home just as it began to rain. It was thundering and lightning too. I shivered and Marty put his arm around me as we sat down on the couch across from my father. I have hated thunderstorms ever since I was a little girl, I said. Daddy said lets talk about a plan to send you two home. That will take your mind off of it. I said so what did you think of your invention? He smiled and said its fantastic! I cant believe that I am going to be able to travel through time! My eyes got misty then and I said daddy please.Marty and I we have to tell you about that night. Sweetheart no. Marty said Doc its important. Daddy said no one should know too much about their future. Whatever you have to tell me I'll find out sooner or later. I sighed. Even 30 years back my father was stubborn as a mule.
Daddy said ok. We know that the flux capacitor needs 1.21 jiggowats in order to function the time circuits. Forget the plutonium. That's out. The only thing powerful enough would be a bolt of lightning. I got up and yelled that's it! Marty said Gina what is it? I turned to my father and said Daddy, when I was a little girl you used to tell me how a bolt of lightning struck the clock tower at 10:04 p.m. and that's why the clock wouldn't run anymore. He said sweetie what are you getting at? That happens on November 12th, 1955! Marty said Gina you're a genius! I blushed. Daddy said then its settled. You'll spend a week here, then next Saturday night our plan goes into motion.
It was about 10:00 later that night and I was getting ready for bed in one the spare bedrooms. Somebody knocked on the door and I said come in. It was Marty. He sat down on the bed and pulled me onto his lap. He pushed some hair out of my face and said what a day huh? You can say that again. How does it feel for you Marty to see your best friend again? It feels so good. I thought I would never see him again. I'm sure you feel the same way. Believe me I do. He gently kissed me and then the phone rang. I picked it up. Hello? The voice at the other end said you tell your crazy scientist friend and your boyfriend that if they know whats good for them they would stay out of my way. You better be on the look out the next couple of days Jennifer because you will be mine and the caller hung up.
I hung up, my face as white as a sheet. Marty said Gina? Honey? What is it? I couldn't answer him. Doc! Get in here quick! My father ran into the room with his lab coat over his pajamas. Marty whats the matter? He saw me and walked over to me. Gina? Sweetheart? Whats the matter? At last I found my voice and said it was Biff. He threatened to make me his and to hurt the two of you.
