An hour later, Doc had returned to Seamus McFly's farm, with Jennifer.
'Juniper!' called out Martin, with a smile - as Jennifer entered the house. 'What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be at school?'
'Uh, no, I'm not Juniper,' replied Jennifer, smiling. 'I'm her guardian angel, Jennifer.'
'Goodness!' gasped Seamus. 'Juniper has a guardian angel, too? This is amazing!'
'Everyone has a guardian angel,' replied Jennifer, with a smile. 'You see, uh, Michael and I were sent here to not only make sure Martin doesn't get killed - but to also make sure Martin and Juniper can, one day, get married and spend the rest of their lives together.'
'So how long are you two planning on staying here?' asked Seamus. 'We have plenty of room for you guys. Anyway, how can we not be hospitable to some angels?'
'We plan to stay until February 24,' replied Marty. 'You see, we are to see to it that Martin does not get killed on the 23rd - and to see that he learns to not lose his judgement everytime someone calls him a name. We also came here to educate him on the value of living.'
'Well, you are certainly some very special visitors,' Seamus said, smiling. 'Poor Martin would probably be bored out of his mind otherwise.'
'Yeah, especially with no TV,' Jennifer blurted out, forgetting the era she was in.
'Uh, TV?' Seamus asked, confused. 'What are you talking about? What on earth is a TV?'
'Oh, well, it's a, uh, well, nevermind,' stammered Jennifer. 'It's something that we angels have in heaven.'
Doc tried to stifle a snort. The idea of TVs in heaven struck him as somewhat funny.
'Oh, I see,' replied Seamus. 'Well, when Juniper comes here after school, I can take you all for a ride. I'm sure Juniper will be very happy to meet you all. I suppose I should start making dinner, now. What would you all like to eat?'
Marty scratched at his head, trying to think of what types of food were common to this era that sounded appetizing. He knew the some of his favourite foods, like pizza and tacos, were out of the question. Only one thing came to mind. 'How about pancakes and syrup? Do you have that?'
'Aye, Seamus,' agreed Martin, 'can we have pancakes?'
'Pancakes sound fine with me, too,' added Jennifer.
'Aye,' replied Seamus, 'we could have pancakes. That's one of Martin's favourite foods. Would you like bacon, too?'
'Oh, yes, please,' replied Marty, enthusiastically. 'I love bacon.'
'Aye,' agreed Martin, 'I want bacon, too, please.'
'Uh, no bacon for me, please,' said Jennifer. 'I'm watching my weight.'
'I'll have some bacon,' replied Doc. 'I'm so hungry right now, I could eat a horse.'
'Dinner should be ready in half an hour,' Seamus said, smiling. Then turning to Marty, Seamus added, 'I must say, you sure do have a lot in common with my brother.'
Then Marty reached out to hug Martin. They embraced for a long time.
oooooooooo
Shortly after four, Juniper had arrived at Seamus McFly's farm. She saw her doppelganger, and nearly passed out.
'Who, who are you?' stammered Juniper, staring hard at Jennifer. 'You look just like me.' Then Juniper turned her head to see two Martins, and nearly fainted.
'My name is Jennifer,' Jennifer replied, reaching out to steady Juniper. 'I'm your guardian angel. We're going to stay here for awhile, to prevent Martin from being stabbed in ten days - and also to teach him the value of life.'
'Stabbed?' Juniper gasped, horrified. 'Why would Martin get stabbed? What happens in ten days?'
'If he continues to lose his judgement everytime some calls him a name,' explained Marty, 'he could get stabbed in the belly with a bowie knife in ten days. We are here to prevent that incident from ever taking place. Martin has a very promising future, and he needs to learn to value life a little more.'
'Would you all like to go for a ride, now?' asked Seamus, smiling. 'It's a nice sunny day out. I'll hitch up the horses.'
Everyone cheered with excitement. Juniper and Marty lifted Martin up from the bed, and helped him walk out to the carriage.
oooooooooo
After Seamus hitched up the horses, everyone had boarded the carriage. Seamus and Doc sat up front, Martin and Juniper sat in the middle, and Marty and Jennifer sat in the back.
'Oh, look at the beautiful scenery!' Jennifer gasped, awed - as he looked at all the trees and wild flowers.
'Yeah, it's lovely,' agreed Juniper. 'It's such a nice day to be taking a ride in the carriage.'
'Yeah, thank you, Seamus,' said Jennifer. 'This must be really nice for Martin, too.'
'Aye,' agreed Martin. 'It's nice to be outside. I certainly could use some fresh air. Thanks for taking us, Seamus.'
'It's my pleasure,' Seamus said, smiling. 'It's nice to get out and enjoy the nature. I love the sounds of the birds chirping.'
'So do I!' replied Jennifer and Juniper in unison, causing the Martins to laugh.
Martin then put his arm around Juniper's shoulders, and whispered, 'I love you, Juniper. You are so beautiful to me. You are the love of me life.'
'I love you, too, Martin,' Juniper purried, laying her head on Martin's shoulder.
Then Jennifer laid her head on Marty's shoulder, as Marty put his arm around her.
'Awwww,' gushed Seamus, 'I have two lovely couples sitting behind me. I wish Maggie was home right now. I love being able to put me arm around her.'
'Yeah,' agreed Doc, 'I wish my wife could have come along. Oh, well, maybe another time.'
Then nobody else spoke another word for awhile. Jennifer and Juniper had snuggled up against the Martins, while the Martins held Jennifer and Juniper close to them. Everyone just basked in the beautiful sounds of nature surrounding them.
Then Juniper asked Martin, 'Now you see how valueable life is, Martin?'
'Aye,' replied Martin. 'Thank you all for helping me to see the value in life. I will no longer let Bart Needles goad me into taking senseless risks. It's just not worth it.'
'Good for you,' purred Juniper. 'I hope to spend the rest of my life together with you, and have kids together.'
'I would love that, too, Juniper,' Martin said, softly.
Then Martin and Juniper leaned over to kiss.
