The Martins, Jennifer, and Juniper were all sitting at the table with Seamus and Maggie. Breakfast today was pancakes with butter and maple syrup. Marty was so happy that he had been able to save Martin's life.

'Thank you for breakfast, Seamus,' said Marty. 'These pancakes are very delicious - and so is the maple syrup.'

'Yeah, I must say,' added Jennifer, 'these are the best pancakes that I've ever eaten. You are a wonderful cook, Seamus.'

'Thank you very much,' replied Seamus, smiling. 'I'll let you in on a little secret.'

'Which is what?' Marty asked, smiling.

'Add in three tablespoons of vanilla to four quarts of pancake batter,' Seamus said, smiling.

'Thank you, Seamus,' replied Marty, smiling. 'I'll have to try that, sometime.'

'It's a family tradition,' added Seamus. 'It was passed down from me father.'

'You know, Michael,' Martin said, softly, 'I certainly am going to miss you. You've been a really great friend to me - and we've had so much fun together.'

'I'm really going to miss you, too,' Marty said, with a sigh. 'I am so happy, though, that you've learned the value of life - and that you've learned that you don't have to prove yourself to others. The important thing is staying true to yourself.'

'That is very profound,' whispered Martin. 'I suppose I'll never see you again, right?'

'Well,' Marty said, thoughtfully, 'I wouldn't quite say that. We might see each other again. I mean, never say never.'

Martin just smiled, as he turned back to his pancakes. Marty noticed that Martin loved drenching his pancakes in maple syrup, just like Marty himself did. He was amazed by how much he had in common with this other Martin.

Then Jennifer turned to Juniper, smiled at her, and said, 'You take good care of Martin, ya hear? I see that you two are destined to spend the rest of your lives together. Make sure that Martin stays out of trouble, alrighty?'

'I'll do that, Jennifer,' Juniper replied, smiling. 'He's my Prince Charming.'

Martin stared at Juniper from across the table, and smiled at her.

oooooooooo

Just before Martin and Juniper headed off for school, they had some treats for their 'guardian angels'.

Martin handed Marty a bag of lemon drops, and smiled, 'I want you to take them back home with you. This is my treat to you, for helping me to see the value of life.'

Then Juniper handed Jennifer a bottle of raspberry cordial, and told her, 'I want you to take this back fome with you. This is my treat to you, for helping me to help Martin see the value of life.'

Marty and Jennifer both smiled at their 'twins', and then embraced them, for the last time.

'I really will miss you, Michael,' Martin said, blinking back tears. 'You've made a real difference in my life. I'll be so sad to see you go.'

'Yeah, I'll be a little sad to leave you,' agreed Marty, also blinking back tears. 'Thank you so much for the lemon drops. I like them as much as you do.'

'It was my treat,' Martin said, managing a small smile. Then Martin sniffed a little bit, as he gave Marty a tight squeeze.

Marty saw the tears on his 'twin's' face, and softly said, 'Aw, don't cry, Martin. Just think of all the things you have to look forward to. Just remember everything I've told you, ya hear?'

'I promise, Michael,' vowed Martin, as he wiped his eyes with the back of his hand.

'Come on, Martin,' urged Juniper, 'it's time to head to school, now.' Then turning to Marty and Jennifer, Juniper called out, 'Thank you for everything, both of you!'

Marty and Jennifer waved to their 'twins', as their 'twins' waved back.

oooooooooo

Marty and Jennifer were waiting by the swimming hole, as they saw Doc drive up in the station wagon. Marty immediately ran up to Doc, and embraced him.

'Good news! Good news! You two!' Doc called, excitedly.

'What is it, Doc?' asked Marty, with anticipation.

'Martin and Juniper get married in two years, they have five kids, and they both live to see their grandchildren.'

'That is such good news, Doc,' exclaimed Marty, happily. Then, sobering a little, Marty added, 'This this change history in any drastic way?'

'Nope!' Doc said, smiling. 'After Martin and Juniper got married, they decided to stay here in Virginia City - while Seamus and Maggie moved over to Hill Valley. Also, William is not the first McFly to be born in America - even though he is the first McFly male to be born in America. Martin and Jennifer had all girls.'

'This is great, Doc,' Marty said, smiling. 'I guess we have made a real difference in Martin's life, haven't we?'

'You've most certainly did,' Doc said, with a smile. 'In fact, Martin had outlived Seamus by five years.'

'Did Seamus still die in 1937, from pneumonia?' asked Marty.

'Yeah, he did,' replied Doc. 'Martin had showed up at his brother's funeral, and wrote a really nice memorial in dedication to his brother.'

'Aw, that's so sweet!' gushed Marty. 'I guess Seamus died one year before my father was born. So Martin died in 1942, then?'

'Yeah, he did,' replied Doc, 'from a stroke. Martin lived to be 80 years old, and Juniper died two years afterward.'

'Well, I guess they lived long, fulfilling lives,' Marty said, with a sigh. 'Anyway, I really don't want to talk about death anymore. It's such a morbid topic, if you know what I mean..'

'The important thing is,' said Jennifer, 'is that, thanks to our influence, we've expanded their lives considerably.'

'You two certainly did,' Doc said, with a smile. 'You've certained changed history for the better.'

'So how long did you stay in 1986,' Marty asked, 'before you came back to pick us up?'

'Two hours,' Doc said, smiling. 'I just stopped by the library, and that's how I found out the info about your family.'

'Well, anyway,' suggested Marty, 'let's head back home to good old 1986, shall we?'

'That's a good idea,' Doc said, smiling.

Then the three of them stepped into the station wagon, as Doc accellerated the speed to 88 miles per hour, landing them back in 1986.
