As soon as Doc, Marty, and Sabrina had returned to 1985 - they were amazed to see how much nicer the town had looked. Biff's Pleasure Paradise was gone - replaced with the old courthouse, with the clock that got struck by the famous lightening storm. Doc drove over to his lab - which, he noticed, was next to a Burger King. In the world they came from, a tavern was standing in its place. As soon as the three of them stepped out, they noticed that the air was much cleaner. Then another DeLorean pulled up next to them, which the other Doc and Marty stepped out of.
'Whew,' breathed Doc. 'This is almost like being in heaven. At least when you compare it to the world that we came from.'
'I can imagine that this world would seem a little like heaven to you,' Doc 2 replied, with a smile. Then he grabbed his kep, and opened up the lab.
Doc looked in amazed. While it was a big mess in there, it wasn't nearly as bad of a mess as the lab from the world he came from was. Doc 2, however, was not impressed.
Doc 2 looked around, and gasped, 'What the hell happened here? Marty, I thought I told you not to hook up to the amplifier - that there might be a slight possibility of overload!'
'Yeah, I know you told me that,' Marty 2 said, blinking back tears, 'and I'm sorry. But I already hooked up the amplifier before you called me.'
'It's okay, Marty,' said Doc 2, gently placing his hand on Marty's shoulder. 'I guess I should have warned you earlier.'
'Yeah, and you also forgot to turn off your equipment,' Marty 2 reminded Doc. Marty looked at the bowl of dog food, and started gagging.
'Sorry about that, Marty,' Doc 2 said, gently. 'I'm only human, too. I'm sorry for getting a little careless. I suppose we should clean up this mess, now.'
'I am not touching the dog food,' Marty 2 insisted.
'It's okay,' said Doc 2. 'I'll take care of that.'
'Well, one thing is certain,' Doc added. 'Even with the amp explosion, this lab is still in better shape than the lab in the world I came from was.'
'Well, now that you put it that way...' Doc 2 said, smiling.
'We can help you guys clean up,' Doc said. 'I'm just happy to see this lab, again - as well as Einstein.'
'I wonder if Einstein will get along with Esmeralda,' pondered Sabrina. 'By the way, where am I supposed to live? I suppose the me of this world is also married, no?'
'Yeah,' replied Doc 2, 'He's married to Brad Wilkins. They got married two years ago.'
'Just like me,' Sabrina said, sadly. 'I should have thought to bring my husband into this world.'
'It would have just caused some confusion,' Doc 2 reminded Sabrina, gently. 'It's going to be tough enough trying to explain why there are two of me and two of Marty. I mean, it's a pretty well-known fact that Marty and I are close friends. To make matters even more complex, I'm sure some also remember that Sabrina and I were close friends. I suppose I'll have to try to find a bigger home, and let you guys stay with me, at least until you guys adjust to this world.'
'Hey, Jennifer!' gasped Marty 2. 'I just remembered that we left Jennifer on that porch. I'll have to go wake her up.'
'You go right ahead,' said Doc 2. 'There is one other thing I should tell you, though.'
'Oh, what is it, Doc?' Marty 2 asked, concerned.
'Please,' said Doc 2, 'if Douglas Needles asks you to race him - tell him, no, you are not interested.'
'Got it, Doc,' replied Marty 2.
'So, Marty,' Doc 2 asked, 'Do you remember anything about this timeline?'
'Yeah, I have two sets of memories,' replied Marty 2. 'Oh, man, this is going to get so damn confusing.'
'I'm sure you'll get used to it,' replied Doc 2.
'Come to think of it, Doc,' said Marty 2, 'I don't even remember having problems with being called 'chicken' in the original timeline.'
'Great Scott!' gasped Doc 2. 'Well, yeah, of course, since the new you had somewhat of a different lifestyle from the old you - the you from the different timelines probably do have slightly different personalities, and slightly different issues. Now that this timeline has overruled the old timeline, the two yous are starting to merge.'
'Oh, man, that is heavy,' Marty 2 replied, breathlessly. 'So, I'm not going to lose my memories of the original timeline, am I?'
'I don't think so,' replied Doc 2. 'Since the timeline change was dependant on you travelling to the past, you now have two sets of memories.'
'In a way, I don't want to lose my memories of my old life,' commented Marty 2.
'I understand,' Doc 2 said, softly.
'Hey, what about me?' asked Marty. 'Will I remember anything about growing up in this timeline?'
'No, you won't,' replied Doc 2. 'You came here from an alternate reality, so your memories are not going to be affected in the same way as your counterpart's.'
'Aw, bummer,' muttered Marty, disappointed.
'I'll call up your parents,' explained Doc 2, 'and let them in on everything. I really did not want to drag them into our secret, but I guess we have no choice, now. I should probably talk with your parents first, before I have them see the two of you together. I should break the news to them, gently. I suppose we should meet here - since I'll have to show them the time machine, to convince them.'
'So, where should we stay - until you're ready to let our parents see us?' asked Marty 2.
'Why don't you two just hide behind the bookshelves,' suggested Doc 2, 'and try not to make a sound?'
'Yeah, I suppose we have no other choice, do we?' replied Marty 2, shrugging.
'It won't be cramped back there, will it,' Marty asked, worriedly.
'No, I stuck a bean bag chair back there,' replied Doc. 'You guys should be comfy for an hour or so.'
'Then I guess we can handle it,' Marty said, smiling. 'Bean bag chairs are so soft and comfy.'
