'Well, folks, here we are,' called out Doc. 'We are in 1985, now!'
Clara, Jules, and Verne all looked around, amazed.
Doc then turned to Sabrina, and asked, 'Why don't you take them into our house, and I'll be out here dismantling the train. It's too awkward to keep in the garage. I've build a time machine into a stationwagon, to use for family trips and such.'
'Sure, I could do that,' replied Sabrina, smiling.
Then Marty and Jennifer pulled up behind Doc, in the DeLorean.
'Why don't we carry inthe items from the train,' suggested Doc, 'and then, when we're done, I can dismantle the train.'
'Sure, we could do that,' replied Marty. 'I am a bit exhausted, but I guess you guys do need a place to sleep tonight.'
'Well, yeah,' answered Doc, 'and my twin sized bed from the garage isn't big enough for both Clara and I to sleep.'
'Oh, yeah, right,' stammered Marty.
Then Marty and Jennifer helped Doc carry in the luggage from the train to the house.
'I suppose we can wait for tomorrow to do most of the unpacking,' Doc suggested. 'I mean, I'm a bit tired, myself. I should make us something to eat, and then get the boys off to bed.'
'I think I'll be heading off to bed a bit early tonight, myself,' replied Marty. 'I mean, I am so exhausted.'
'Yeah, me, too,' replied Jennifer, yawning.
'Well, tomorrow, I can do the spell,' Sabrina put in. We start here in 1985, then go to the DeLorean, then we head off to 1977. As soon as we return to 1985, the spell will be complete.'
'You sound real confident about this,' declared Marty.
'Well, yeah, I told you,' replied Sabrina, 'I talked to my spirit guide about this. So, yeah, I am confident.'
'Well, that's good,' said Doc. 'So when tomorrow do you think you'll do this?'
'Well, maybe after lunch,' answered Sabrina. 'I think we should have Marty and Jennifer here with us, as the spell will affect them, too.'
'How will it affect us?' asked Jennifer, confused.
'Well, you two have time travelled in the DeLorean,' explained Sabrina, 'and as part of the spell is to be performed inside the DeLorean, you two will be affected.'
'It will be rather tough having to contend with three sets of memories,' commented Marty.
'Uh, three sets of memories?' asked Sabrina, confused. 'Oh, yeah, that's right, you've had another life before your first time travel trip to 1955, right?'
'Right, exactly,' replied Marty. 'On one hand, I really don't want to lost any of my old memories, but the idea of remember three lifetimes is a bit suureal.'
'Do you believe in reincarnation?' asked Sabrina.
'No, I guess I really don't,' replied Marty. 'I've been taught that you live a good life, then you go to heaven when you die. Otherwise, if you're evil, you go to hell.'
'So are you Christian?' Sabrina asked. 'What church do you go to?'
'We're Catholic,' replied Marty. 'I do question some of what the priest teaches us, though - and going through Lent and Confession can be a bit killer, at times.'
'Yeah, I'll bet,' agreed Sabrina. 'So is it true that you have to confess to any bad thoughts that you think?'
'It's highly recommended, yeah,' replied Marty. 'I don't, though. I prefer to keep my thoughts private. Then again, though, I'm not sure if I even consider myself to be a practicing Catholic. I mean, I believe in God, and I do talk to Jesus a lot, and I consider him to be my best friend - but I tend to question some of the rituals of the Catholic Church, if you know what I mean.'
'So, in other words,' asked Sabrina, 'you're spiritual but not religious?'
'Right, you could say that,' replied Marty, smiling. 'I do not believe in a vengeful God who condemns us for every sin that we commit. I believe that God loves us the way that we are, and that He only expects us to be the best we can be. We're all human, after all - and we all make mistakes.'
'I like your spirit,' Sabrina said, admiringly. 'I have had a few nasty run-ins with Evangelical Christians who believe that my magick comes from the devil, and that I am evoking evil spirits. Sometimes I think they don't even know their own Bible. What gets translated as 'thought shalt not suffer a witch to live' is really supposed to say 'thou shalt not suffer a poisoner to live'. They claim that their precious KJV Bible is free of all errors, but a lot of it has been mistranslated from their Hebrew and Latin texts.'
'Wow, I didn't know that before,' Marty muttered. 'As Catholics, we don't use the KJV Bible. We have some extra books in our Bible, then the Protestants consider to be Apocryphia. Are you a Christian Witch?'
'No, I'm just a witch who is heavily in tuned with spirituality,' explained Sabrina, 'and I try to find wisdom in all holy texts. I do have some friends who are Christian Wiccan, though.'
'Christian Wiccan?' asked Jennifer, confused. 'Isn't that a little contradictory? Our church preaches that it's wrong to worship other gods.'
'Not all Wiccans necessarily worship the Goddess,' explained Sabrina. 'Anyway, it is pretty common to belong to more than one faith. Devout Christians or devout Wiccans may not consider Christian Wiccans to be true Christians or true Wiccans - but it really is not our place to judge another person's faith. It is my believe that having a faith is a very personal thing, and it is not our place to judge the faith of other people.'
'Yeah, I agree with you,' replied Marty, smiling.
'Yeah, you're right,' added Jennifer. 'Even though I am Christian, I get so embarrassed by those Evangelical types who tell people to accept Jesus Christ as their lord and personal saviour, or else they will burn in hell for eternity. It's that kind of attitude that makes people not want to be Christian.'
'Yeah, and some of them don't even consider Catholics to be true Christians,' said Marty, shaking his head. 'To be fair, though, some Catholics can be just as judgemental. As Sabrina said, though, our place is not to judge other people. Besides, Matthew 7:12 says, 'Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.' When Jesus came here 2000 years ago, he taught us to have compassion for the needy, and to love our neighbours - and our enemies, for that matter. It's hard to love Biff Tannen and Douglas Needles, though - but I don't wish harm on them. Otherwise, that would make me just as bad as them.'
'I know who Biff Tannen is,' said Sabrina, 'but who is Douglas Needles?'
'He's this boy in school who really has it in for me,' explained Marty. 'He looks just like Flea from The Red Hot Chili Peppers, which is probably why I'm not a big fan of the band. Which, come to think of it, I happen to know that he hates Michael J Fox. I wonder if that's why he picks on me, because I look like Michael Fox.'
'I think he's just jealous that he's not as cute as you or Michael Fox,' Jennifer said, smiling.
'Oh, you think so?' asked Marty, smiling.
'So Douglas Needles is a jerk, then?' asked Sabrina. 'Well, that I know all about. I remember back when I was in school, I got picked on a lot. People thought that I was a freak. I don't know if it has anything to do with me being a witch, though - even though I've only told my close friends that I was a witch.'
'Yeah, I was picked on, too, when I was in school,' explained Doc. 'I was part of the Science Club when I was in high school, but other than my friends in the club, not many people liked me. Even some of my teachers felt that I was strange.'
'Well, yeah, high school can be pretty tough,' Marty said, gently. 'I try to be nice to everyone, and I stand up for those who are being picked on. Sometimes, I don't get who some kids my age can be so cruel.'
'Yeah, you've got a tender heart, Marty,' replied Sabrina. 'This world could use more people like you. Anyway, I felt the same was as you did in high school.'
'Thanks, Sabrina,' Marty said, smiling. 'Well, I should head home and get to bed, now.'
Marty then hugged Sabrina, then Doc. Then he walked Jennifer home.
'I love you, Jennifer,' Marty whispered.
'I love you, too, Marty,' Jennifer replied.
Marty and Jennifer then embraced and kissed for awhile, until Marty decided that it was time to head home.
