Jennifer had followed George outside, as George headed over to the Doc's Packard.

George had opened the door, and he said, 'Hey you, get your damn hands off her!' Then realizing he was in the car, George said, 'Oh!'

'I think you got the wrong car, McFly,' Biff said, smirking.

'George,' pleaded Lorraine, 'help me, please!'

'Just turn around, McFly,' Biff ordered, 'and walk away.'

George, however, stayed where he is. Jennifer stayed ten feet behind hi, as she watched on.

'Are you deaf, McFly?' Biff taunted. 'Close the door and beat it.'

'No, Biff,' George insisted, 'you leave her alone.'

'All right, McFly,' sneered Biff, 'you're asking for it - and now you're gonna get it.'

Biff then got out of the car. George tried to punch him, but Biff grabbed his arm and twisted it, causing George to let out cries of pain. Jennifer looked on horrified. She was tempted to use her martial arts skill again, but she knew she had to let George be the one to punch Biff out.

'Biff, stop it,' pleaded Lorraine. 'Biff, you're breaking his arm. Biff, stop!'

oooooooooo

'Give me a hand, Reginald,' pleaded Marvin.

They did manage to get the door open - but, unfortunately, Marvin hurt himself.

'Ow, dammit, man,' groaned Marvin, 'I sliced my hand!'

'Whose are these?' asked Marty, as he held up a set of keys.

'Mine,' replied Reginald, as Marty gave the keys to him.

'Thanks, thanks a lot,' repled Marty, gratefully.

oooooooooo

'Stop it, stop it Biff!' Lorraine pleaded. 'You're gonna break his arm! Stop it!' Lorraine then jumped on Biff, and continued, 'Biff, leave him alone! Let him go! Let him go!'

Biff then pushed her off and laughed. George clenched his other hand into a fist as Biff continues to laugh. Then, when Biff was unaware, George hit him in the face. Biff fell down to the floor. George looked at his fist with a 'I can't believe it! I did it!' expression, and then he turned to Lorraine. Jennifer watched on, amazed.

'Are you okay?' George asked Lorraine.

He then helped Lorraine up, and they walked hand in hand to the gym. A crowd had then developed, which included Marty and Jennifer.

'Who is that guy?' asked one of the girls.

'That's George McFly,' replied a boy.

'That's George McFly?' the girl asked, in disbelief.

Marty looked at the photo. Linda was still disappearing, everything wasn't fixed yet! He ran back to The Starlighters.

oooooooooo

'Excuse me,' said Marty.

He saw that Marvin's hand was bandaged, and the rest of the group was making sure he was okay.

'Hey, guys,' insisted Marty, 'you gotta get back in there and finish the dance!'

'Hey, man,' protested Reginald, 'look at Marvin's hand. He can't play with his hands like that, and we can't play without him.'

'Yeah, well, look, Marvin,' insisted Marty. 'Marvin, you gotta play. See that's where they kiss for the first time on the dance floor. And if there's no music, they can't dance - and if they can't dance, they can't kiss - and if they can't kiss, they can't fall in love and I'm history.

'Hey, man,' protested Marvin, 'the dance is over. Unless you know someone else who could play the guitar.'

Fortunately, Marty could play the guitar. The Starlighters decided to give him a chance.

oooooooooo

Marty was on stage playing Marvin's guitar. Marvin looked at him, as if he was impressed with his guitar playing, and then he headed for the microphone.

'This is for all you lovers out there,' said Marvin. Then he began to sing, 'Earth Angel, Earth Angel, will you be mine?
My darling, dear, love you all the time...'

The song continued as Marty looked at the photo. Linda was now gone.

Jennifer was dancing with Lester Collins, one of George's friends, as she watched George and Lorraine dance near them.

'George, aren't you gonna kiss me?' insisted Lorraine.

'I, I don't know,' replied George

Then Jennifer saw a tough-looking boy arrive. She recognized him as one of the guys who was kicking George earlier that week.

'Scram, McFly,' ordered the boy. 'I'm cutting in.'

The boy then pushed George aside, and he started to dance with Lorraine. George walked away. Suddenly, the guitar drastically quieted down. Jennifer was horrified, as she could guess what was happening to her boyfriend.

oooooooooo

'Hey, boy,' asked Reginald, 'are you all right?'

'I can't play,' Marty said, weakly

Marty felt himself starting to be erased! He looked at the photo, and he saw himself starting to vanish. Marty then looked at his hand, and he saw it was starting to vanish.

'George,' Marty called out, weakly.

George then gained a sudden courage to push Dixon aside, while he called out, 'Excuse me.'

Jennifer looked on, amazed, as George then pushed Dixon away from Lorraine - and they looked at each other. Then George and Lorraine kissed. Suddenly, Marty stood upright again. He was saved! He looked at the photo. First himself, then Linda, and finally Dave reappeared. The future was saved! Meanwhile, Marvin finished the song.

'The vision of your happiness,' sang Marvin, 'whoa, whoa, whoa!
Earth Angel, Earth Angel, will you be mine?
My darling dear, love you for all time.
I'm just a fool, a fool in love, with you.'

The dancers then cheered.

'Yeah man, that was good,' Marvin said, impressed. 'Let's do another one!'

'Uh, well, I gotta go,' stammered Marty.

'C'mon man,' insisted Marvin, 'let's do something that really cooks.'

'Something that really cooks,' mumbled Marty. Marty thought - then he came up with the perfect piece. Marty turned to the dancers, and said, 'All right! All right, this is an oldie - but, uh, it's an oldie where I come from.' Marty then turned to the Starlighters, and he added, 'All right, guys! It's a blues riff in B, watch me for the changes - and uh, try and keep up, okay?'

Marty started to play the famous intro from the song. The dancers and the band seemed to like it, so Marty started to sing.

Marty began to sing, 'We're down in Louisiana, down in New Orleans,
Way back up in the woods among the evergreens
There stood an old cabin made of earth and wood
There lived a country boy name of Johnny B Goode.
He never ever learned to read or write so well,
He could play a guitar just like he's ringing' a bell.
Go, go, go Johnny go, go; go Johnny go, go, go;
go Johnny go, go; Go Johnny go, go, go; Johnny B Goode...'

ooooooooooo

'Hey George,' called out a boy dancer, 'heard you laid out Biff, nice going!'

'George,' added the girl dancer, 'you ever think of running for class president?'

Marvin then headed to the edge of the stage, where there was a telephone. He dialed a number, as Jennifer watched.

'Chuck, Chuck,' called out Marvin, 'its' Marvin. Your cousin, Marvin Berry! You know that new sound you're looking for? Well, listen to this!' Marvin then held the phone to the music so Chuck could hear it. Marty then played a solo. He went a bit overboard - and by the time he finished playing some rock music, the dance was silent, looking at him. Strickland was covering his ears.

'I guess you guys aren't ready for that, yet,' Marty said, blushing, 'but your kids are gonna love it.' Marty then handed the guitar back to Marvin.

Marty was about to make his exit, but he then saw Lorraine. 'Lorraine!'

'Huey,' said Lorraine, 'that was very interesting music.'

'Uh, yeah,' replied Marty, a bit nervously.

'I hope you don't mind,' Lorraine said, 'but George asked if he could take me home.'

George then walked up to them.

'Great!' replied Marty. 'Good, good, Lorraine. I had a feeling about you two.'

'I have a feeling, too,' replied Lorraine.

'Listen, I gotta go,' said Marty, 'but I wanted to tell you that it's been... educational.'

'Huey, will we ever see you again?' asked Lorraine.

'I guarantee it,' replied Marty, somewhat cryptically.

'Well, Marty, I want to thank you for all your good advice,' George said, gratefully. 'I'll never forget it.'

'Right, George,' replied Marty. 'Well, good luck, you guys.' Marty then headed for the door, and then turned back to the couple and said, 'Oh, one other thing, if you guys ever have kids, and one of them, when he's eight years old, accidentally sets fire to the living room rug - go easy on him.'

'Okay,' replied George, with a bit of uncertainty.

Marty then left. Lorraine turned to George, and he said, 'Marty, such a nice name.'

'Well, I just wanted to say good bye to you guys, too,' Jennifer said, as she stopped by. 'I just wanted to let you guys know that Huey and I had talked things out, and we're back together again.'

'I'm happy to hear that,' Lorraine said, smiling. 'I have a feeling about you two, as well.'

oooooooooo

As Marty and Jennifer ran up to meet Doc, Doc said, 'You kids are late, do you have no concept of time?'

'Hey c'mon,' protested Marty, 'I had to change. You think I'm going back in that, that zoot suit? The old man really came through, it worked!'

'What?' Doc asked, stunned.

'He laid out Biff in one punch!' explained Marty. 'I never knew he had it in him! He never stood up to Biff in his life!'

Doc looked at the photograph - and he saw that Marty, Linda and Dave were all restored.

'Never?' Doc asked, a bit worriedly.

'No, why, what's the matter?' asked Marty.

Doc slipped the photo back in Marty's pocket, as he shook his head.

'All right, let's set your destination time,' Marty told the teens. 'This is the exact time you left. I'm gonna send you back at exactly the same time. It'll be like you never left. Now, I painted a white line on the street way over there, that's where you start from. I've calculated the distance and wind resistance retroactive from the moment the lightning strikes, at exactly...' Doc checked his watch, and continued, '... seven minutes and 22 seconds. When this alarm goes off you hit the gas.'

'Right,' replied Marty.

'Well, I guess that's everything,' said Doc.

'Thanks,' replied Marty. 'It was nice getting to meet this version of you.'

'Thank you,' repled Doc, and he and Marty embraced. 'In about 30 years.'

'You bet,' replied Marty, smiling, 'now that I finally got a chance to warn you of what happens.'

'Right,' added Jennifer, nodding. 'It was kinda nice, being able to spend a week in 1955 - but I'll be so happy to return to good old 1985.'

'Well, yeah, of course,' Marty said, smiling, 'because that's the time you belong in.'

Jennifer then embraced Doc, before the teens stepped into the DeLorean.

'Say, Marty,' suggested Jennifer, 'should we set the destination time back ten minutes. Just in case Doc forgets about the warning.'

'Oh, Jennifer, please don't suggest it,' Marty said, sighing, 'but maybe you're right. Just in case.' Marty then changed the destination time from 1:35 PM to 1:24 AM.

'Time circuits on, flux capacitor...' Marty paused a moment, thinking of a word, '... fluxing, engine running. All right!'

Unfortunately, the engine then stopped.

'No, no, no, no, no,' groaned Marty, 'c'mon, c'mon! C'mon, c'mon, here we go, this time. Please, please, c'mon!'

Marty then bumped the horn with his head. The car then started working! He drove off towards the Courthouse. Marty wiped some sweat off his face. The DeLorean soon hit 88 miles per hour and lets off blue flashes - it was about ready to travel through time. The clock turns to 10:04 PM, lightning struck it, and the lightning caused electricity to go down the cables, which Doc reconnected just in time, getting himself a slight electric shock as he does so. The lightning then entered the flux capacitor - finally sending Marty and Jennifer back to 1985.
