Doc was in the dining room with Sabrina and Nicole, eating a bowl of farina.
'So what is the world like, outside of Hill Valley?' asked Doc. 'By the way, I wonder why Biff even chose to remain in Hill Valley. I mean, you would think that he would rather live in some bigger city, like San Francisco.'
'I'm guessing it's because it's where Biff grew up,' suggested Sabrina, 'and he knew some people in his hometown that he wanted to torment. Let's face it, Biff is one spiteful man. He also had a thing for Marty's mom. He also had a strong dislike for Marty's dad.'
'To answer your first question,' added Nicole, 'I would say that most of the western world, including most of the US, is relatively safe. Even though Biff does appear to have some political control over the US. Still, I have yet to hear of the US Constitution being abolished - and we still get some damn fine entertainment from that country. It's just that the rest of the world is extremely concerned about the US foreign policies and such - not just because of Biff Tannen, but also because of Richard Nixon. He was almost impeached, because of the Watergate Scandal.'
'According to Marty,' explained Doc, 'Ronald Reagan, the actor, is supposed to be the current US president. It does seem a little more believable, now - then it did when Marty told me.'
'Marty?' Nicole asked, confused. 'Oh, yeah, I guess you mean the Marty that you've met in 1955.'
'Exactly,' replied Doc. 'I didn't believe him at first, but when he told me about how I came up with the idea for time travel - when I haven't told anyone - then I knew he had to be from the future. Although, I must say that I was a bit freaked out, to say the least. I also didn't understand why I would be so close to a teenage boy. I mean, I taught third-grade back then, and the kids all liked me - perhaps because I made classes interesting. Still, I couldn't imagine hanging out with any of them after school. Marty is a very likeable person, though.'
'Yeah,' agreed Sabrina, nodding, 'people have also questioned about my relationship with you. Perhaps even more so, since I'm female. Let's face it, there are too many busybodies in this world who desperately need to get a life!'
Just then Marty had walked into the dining room.
'Good morning, everyone!' Marty said, cheerfully.
'Good morning, sleepyhead,' teased Doc, as he threw his arms around Marty. 'Did you have a good rest?'
'Well, I've had some difficulty sleeping,' Marty admitted. 'Being in a new place can do that to you. I'm also worried that Biff might somehow find me.'
'Don't worry, Marty,' Doc sad, softly. 'Sabrina has cast a protection spell to save us from harm. We will not let anyone hurt you.'
'So do you plan to finish the time machine,' asked Marty, 'now that we are safely outside of the United States of Biff Tannen?'
Doc, Sabrina, and Nicole all began to laugh hysterically.
'United States of Biff Tannen?' Sabrina asked, through giggles. 'That's a good one, Marty.'
'To answer your question, Marty,' replied Doc, 'yeah I do plan to finish the time machine. The only question is how we're going to bring the DeLorean over here. I don't dare to set foot in Hill Valley ever again. Well, at least until we defeat Biff Tannen.'
'Nicole and I can do the teleportation spell,' suggested Sabrina. 'I just need you to show me where you hid the DeLorean. We can astral travel through Hill Valley together. Then I can maybe do the spell tonight.'
'What is astral travel?' asked Marty, confused.
'Astral travel is where our souls leave our body,' explained Sabrina, 'and we can travel anywhere through space, as well as time. That's a very safe way to travel with Hill Valley, as we will not be there physically. Nothing there can harm us.'
'So, how do we do that?' asked Marty. 'I've never astral travelled before.'
'Because Sabrina and I are witches,' explained Nicole, 'we are natural astral travellers. You could probably astral travel, as well, with a lot of practice. However, it'll be easier just for the four of us to form a circle - and just let Sabrina and I do all the work.'
'So you mean that if we travel outside of our bodies,' asked Marty, 'we'll be just like ghosts? The idea does seem a little creepy.'
'There's nothing to be scared of,' Sabrina said, softly. 'It's a very pleasent feeling. We'll be lighter then air, and we'll be able to float around. So that'll also be easier on our feet. Our five senses will also be considerably enhanced.'
'Maybe we could take the almanac away from Biff, while we're at it,' suggested Marty. 'Then he cannot place anymore bets on sports teams.'
'It's too late for that, now,' said Doc. 'It would be easier to just go back in time, and take the almanac away from him, while he's young.'
'So you're certain that the time machine will work?' Marty asked, with a little uncertainty. 'I mean, I still have a hard time wrapping my mind around the idea of time travel.'
'Don't worry, Marty,' Doc said, softly. 'I know for a fact that it will work. You came to visit me in 1955. Well, your other self did, anyway.'
'It is a little freaky to think that other dimensions exist,' Marty said, with a sigh. 'So I'm not much different from the other Marty?'
'As far as I can tell,' Doc said, softly, 'you are the same. Marty is Marty.'
Then Doc hugged Marty. Marty, who was not used to hugs, felt comforted being in Doc's arms. Doc was like a father to him.
'You look just like the other Marty, too,' Doc said, softly.
'Awww, Doc,' murmured Marty, burying his face in Doc's shoulder. He loved the scent of his friend and mentor.
'Alright, guys,' Sabrina spoke up. 'Let's form a circle, and then we'll astral travel to Hill Valley.'
All four of them sat on the floor, forming a circle. Then Marty felt himself floating up in the air, with the others, then the four of them found themselves floating in front of Biff's Pleasure Paradise in Hill Valley.
