'Okay, Doc, we're in Hill Valley, now,' said Sabrina. 'Show us where the DeLorean is, okay?'
'Okay, everyone,' announced Doc, 'follow me.' Then Doc began to float towards Del Gato mine, while the other floated behind him. 'At least I had a two-day warning that I might end up being committed,' explained Doc, 'so that, at least, gave me some time to hide the DeLorean. I couldn't run the risk of anyone else seeing it - and I was almost certain that, with Biff being so powerful, that I would end up being committed.'
'You were right!' exclaimed Marty. 'Floating like this is a nice feeling. Of course, I can still smell the pollutants - but, at least, they cannot harm me. Now, nobody else can see us, right?'
'That is correct,' replied Sabrina. 'Only other astral travellers can see us - and I'm pretty certain that Biff wouldn't know how to astral travel.'
'Here is the mine,' announced Doc. 'Come follow me.'
Then Doc slipped through the mine walls, and the other three followed.
'I must say, this is a little freaky,' declared Marty, 'but it sure is convenient.'
'This is the DeLorean,' announced Doc. 'This is what I used to start building my time machine.'
'Why a DeLorean?' asked Marty, confused. 'This baby is only a two-seater.'
'I guess I wasn't thinking of who all I would let in on the time macine,' replied Doc. 'You see, I've always dreamed of seeing the future, looking beyond my years, seeing the progress of mankind. I must admit, I also liked the idea of being able to see who wins the next 25 World Series. I guess older Biff thought of that idea as well, though.'
'Well, know that I know where the time machine is,' said Sabrina, 'I can easily do the transportation spell now.'
'Hey, Sabrina,' asked Marty, 'did you say that you also had the ability to astrally time travel? Maybe we could find out when Biff had received the almanac.'
'Hey, you know,' interjected Doc, 'this reminds me. I remember yesterday morning, shortly before I got discharged, I heard a couple of in-mates talking about how Marty had returned to Hill Valley. However, the kicker is, that Marty seemed to be totally unaware of everything that was going on. He even accused his mother of leaving George for Biff. He seemed to have no memory of the last 17 years of his life. That was when I figured that it must not be the Marty native to our reality. This was, perhaps, even the same Marty who came to visit me in 1955.'
'Woah, this is heavy!' exclaimed Marty. 'That certainly would not have been me. I was still in Switzerland.'
'You remember, yesterday,' Doc asked, gently, 'you told me that you once got kicked out of a boarding school? Well, according to the in-mate, Biff thought that you had arrived home suddenly, because you got kicked out of another boarding school. Then they went on to mention about you being on top of a flying DeLorean, and how someone had opened the DeLorean door, knocking out Biff. Then they never saw you again. Perhaps, your counterpart might have even asked about the almanac - which probably resulted in Biff trying to shoot you. I definitely wouldn't put it past him. So maybe we should go back to midnight of October 27, and watch Marty - and see what we can find out.'
'Oh, yes, we could easily do that,' replied Sabrina. 'We should maybe float on over to Biff's Pleasure Paradise, first. Marty, when do you stay, when yiu go home?'
'We stay on the 27th floor,' explained Marty. 'That's probably where my counterpart might have been. Gee, it's strange to think there was someone who looked like me walking aroung Hill Valley yesterday, but wasn't really me.'
Then the quartet began to float over to Biff's Pleasure Paradise.
'That building gives me the creeps,' Sabrina said, shuddering. 'Well, at least we aren't going in there, physically.'
'At least you don't have Biff for a stepfather,' Marty said, shuddering. 'For some reason, he seems to especially hate me. I can't figure out why, though. I try to be nice to everyone.'
As soon as everyone floated into the 27th floor of Biff's Pleasure Paradise, they could hear Biff yelling at Lorraine.
'I don't know where that no good kid of yours is, Lorraine,' shouted Biff, 'and, personally, I couldn't care less. If he knows what's good for him, he will stay far away from here. He might have even been shot by some snipers, now.'
'He must be talking about me,' Marty said, sadly.
'But Marty is my son,' Lorraine sobbed, 'and I love him! Why do you hate Marty so much?'
Marty floated over to Lorraine, and threw his arms around her. Even though Lorraine couldn't see him - she did seem to sense him, as she calmed down, somewhat.
'Hate him?' Biff snorted. 'I don't hate him! To say that I hate him would be to imply that I have feelings for that lazy bum - which I certainly don't.'
Then Lorraine did something that shocked all of the astral travellers. Lorraine had grabbed a gun, and shot Biff! Then Lorraine dragged Biff's body to the window, and threw him outside.
'I don't believe it,' gasped Marty. 'I guess Biff had finally pushed my mom a little too far. Well, one thing is certain, I'm certainly not going to shed any tears over Biff's death. Maybe this could be a revolution for us.'
'Marty, are you here?' whispered Lorraine. 'For some reason, I can sense that you're in this room. Either that, or I'm going crazy.'
'Oh, Doc, what do I do?' pleaded Marty. 'I want to assure my mother that I'm okay, but how do I talk to her?'
Sabrina then stared into Lorraine's eyes, causing her to fall into a deep sleep. Then Lorraine and the astral travellers found themselves inside the kitchen of the McFly's old home at Lyon Estates.
'Marty! Marty!' cried out Lorraine. 'You're here!'
'Yeah, Mom, I'm here,' whispered Marty, throwing his arms around his mother. His mother hugged back.
'Oh, I've missed you,' sobbed Lorraine. 'I also miss your father. I wish there was a way to bring her back.'
'I miss Daddy, too,' replied Marty, beginning to cry. 'The last twelve years have been such hell for me. I bet Biff killed Daddy.' Then Marty sobbed in his mother's shoulder.
'Oh, Marty,' murmured Lorraine, rocking Marty back and forth, 'I wish there was something we could do.'
'There is something we can do,' Doc interjected. 'I can finish building the time machine, then we can go back and grab the almanac away from Biff.'
'Time machine?' Lorraine asked, confused. 'I wish time travel was possible, but it's something that only exists in science fiction - the type of stories that George wrote.'
'No, I've found a way to invent time travel,' protested Doc. 'I know this seems a bit far-fetched, but it's true. In 1955, I was standing on the edge of my toilet hanging a clock, the porcelain was wet, I slipped, hit my head on the edge of the sink. And when I came to, I had a revelation, a picture, a picture in my head, a picture of the flux capacitor. The flux capacitor is what makes time travel possible.'
'Well, I really would like to believe that time travel is possible,' Lorraine said, with resignition. 'I really do miss George a lot.'
Then Marty lifted his face, and wiped it. 'Don't worry, Mom,' Marty whispered. 'We'll fix history, and bring Dad back.'
Then Sabrina popped all the astral travellers outside of Lorraine's dream.
'That was so surreal,' breathed Marty. 'What next?'
'Now we are heading back to midnight of October 27,' explained Sabrina.
