Marty and Jennifer were in Doc's garage, cleaning up the place, when there was a knock on the door. Doc went to answer the door.
'Sabrina!' exclaimed Doc, hugging Sabrina. 'It's so good to see you again. So how are things going with your husband?'
'Well, I'm hoping that we can have some kids soon,' replied Sabrina. Then as she stepped in, she ran up to Marty and hugged him. 'So, Marty, how are you doing? I haven't seen you in awhile.'
'Well, Sabrina, this is my girlfriend, Jennifer,' Marty said, putting an arm around Jennifer's shoulder. 'Jennifer, this is Sabrina.'
'Well, Jennifer, it's a pleasure to meet you,' Sabrina said, cheerfully.
'It's nice meeting you, too, Sabrina,' replied Jennifer. 'We're busy cleaning up Doc's garage, as Doc would like to move back to the present with Clara and the kids.'
'Oh, yeah, Doc told me all about that,' Sabrina said, smiling. Then, turning to Doc, Sabrina asked, 'So do you think I can take a trip in your time machine?'
'I'll think about it,' replied Doc, smiling. 'You have to realize that the time machine is not a toy. You have to be very careful to not create a time paradox. Believe me, physical time travel is a bit more dangerous than astral time travel.'
Jennifer then noticed the pentacle necklace that Sabrina was wearing, and asked, 'Hey, Sabrina, I'm just a little curious. Are you Wiccan?'
'Naaa,' Sabrina said, smiling. 'I'm just a natural witch. Our lineage goes back long before the Neo-Pagan movement from the 1960s. Of course, I have nothing against the Neo-Pagan religions - but it's just not necessary to be a follower in order to cast spells.'
'So how do you astrally time travel?' Marty asked, curiously.
'Well, there are several ways to do so,' explained Sabrina. 'I have a lot of dreams where I find myself in other time periods. Also, through meditation, I can astrally travel from my body to other time periods. It's fun to be able to observe the different time periods, even if I can't interact with anyone from them.' Then looking at Doc, pleadingly, Sabrina added, 'Still, even with all of it's risks, I would like to try physically travelling through time.'
'Well, if you don't mind coming back to 1893 to help us do some packing,' Doc said, gently, 'you're welcome to join us.'
'Oh, thank you, Doc,' Sabrina gushed. 'I would love to travel to that time period. I have astrally visited the Old West a few times - but to physically be able to travel there would be so dandy.'
'Well, okay,' said Doc, 'but you must remember that this is not a pleasure trip. We are only going there to help our family pack up, so that we can move back to 1985.'
'So, Doc,' continued Sabrina, 'did you say that there was a spell that you needed me to perform for you? You must remember that, like the time machine, magick is not something to be taken lightly. There can be serious repercussions to using magick irresponsibly.'
'Oh, right, Sabrina,' Doc said, stammering. 'Well, I was wondering if there was some way you could alter reality a little bit, so that I end up metting Clara and marrying her in 1977, having Jules in 1978, and having Verne in 1980? The only other option would be to wait until 1993 to move back home, and then Marty would really miss me. I don't want to put poor Marty through that. I mean, he's already gone through enough traumas just a few days ago - well, actually the entire time travel trip lasted about two weeks for Marty.'
'Okay, Doc, I'll see what I can do,' Sabrina said, thoughtfully. 'I'll look through my book of spells and see if there's a way to alter the reality a bit. You're talking about wanting me to fix eight years worth of history surrounding your life. It's not going to be as easy as just waving a magic wand and saying 'abracadabra'. It is going to be a rather intricate process, you know.'
'Yeah, I realize that Sabrina,' said Doc, smiling. 'I could do my part, too - like maybe go to the future, and take advantage of future technology to fabricate birth certificates for Clara and the boys. Clara is 38 years old, so we would have to make a birth certificate for her in 1947. As security wasn't that tight back then, that should be a relatively easy task to take care of. With Jules and Verne, though, it would be a little harder. Anyway, my personal history is probably not going to matter much to the residents outside of Hill Valley.'
'Well, Doc,' Sabrina said, gently, 'I'll try everything I can do to help. First, though, I would probably have to meet the rest of your family. Anyway, between your time machine and my magick, we don't want to do anything that so irresponsible, that it would unravel the fabric of the space-time continuum.'
'Right, Sabrina,' agreed Doc, 'you know that I feel just as strongly about this as you do. If there is nothing you can do, then we could try coming up with Plan B. I don't want Marty to have to wait until 1993 for me to return - because that time period would confuse me, too, since a lot can change in eight years.'
'There's one thing I'm wondering, Sabrina,' put in Marty. 'Have you ever astrally travelled to the future - or was it always to the past?'
'I've only astrally travelled to the past,' replied Sabrina. 'It is possible to astrally travel to the future, but it's harder, and it comes with more risks. After all, while the past has already happened - the future, on the other hand, has not happened yet. So it does take a little more energy to travel into the future.'
'Well, that does sort of make sense,' said Marty. 'Geez, somehow I think my life will never be the same, I keep learning about things that I've never thought possible before. Next think you know, I'll probably end up finding out that Santa Claus really does exist.'
'Well, Santa Claus does exist,' Sabrina said, gently, 'in the form of St. Nicholas.'
'Yeah, but St. Nicholas didn't live at the North Pole,' protested Marty, chuckling, 'and he didn't have eight reindeer and elves to make the toys - and he didn't fly around the world, going down the chimney's, to deliver presents to all the good children.'
'Okay, okay, I see what you're saying,' Sabrina said, laughing. 'Still, there are many wonders that this universe that we may have yet to discover. Like, for instance, do you believe that there is life on other planets?'
'Well, it is certainly possible,' Marty said, thoughtfully, 'considering that this is a big universe and all. Yeah, I guess I try not to rule anything out.'
'Yeah, it is best to keep an open mind,' agreed Doc. 'Once you start closing your mind to certain possibilities, then you start to hinder your learning experience.'
'Right, Doc,' agreed Marty. 'You do make a very good point.'
'Well, gang,' said Doc, should we head over to Burger King and grab something to eat?'
'Sure!' replied Marty, Jennifer, and Sabrina, similtaneously.
'I could certainly use a break from cleaning,' declared Marty. 'I am, I am pooped out right now.'
'Yeah, so am I,' agreed Jennifer, 'but I guess it's all worth it.'
Then the quartet left Doc's garage to head over to Burger King.
