After school, Marlene and Marty Jr picked everyone up in their hover-car - so that they could discuss the result of their time travel trip, and their new memories.
'Look, everyone,' Jamie said, quietly. 'I would like to apologize for the way I was acting yesterday. I now remember everything. I remember everything of my old life, when I was tall and unpopular - and I remember everything of my new life. I also remember everything about our time in 1986. Come to think of it, the fact that I was so unpopular in my old life maybe explains why, in my new life, I was always so quick to befriend the misfits and outcasts in our school. What do you all remember?'
'I have two sets of memories, too,' explained Melody. 'I think the major things that have changed in this new timeline is, you look different and Miff Tannen is a nice person who routinely waxes our cars. Also, unlike his father, he doesn't try to con us out of a second coat. It seems like most everything else has stayed the same.'
'Yeah,' agreed Harmony, nodding, 'actually, I must say that I'm more amazed by how much has stayed the same, than by how much has changed. I believe Grandpa calls that the time preservation effect. Science can explain a lot of things, but it can't explain everything. I believe that many things really are an act of God, you know.'
'Right, I agree,' said Marty Jr. 'Unfortunately, I guess I still got fired in this timeline. I guess I'll have to not pull anymore practical jokes. I guess I did go a little too far with the pink hair dye. At any rate, I'm so glad you're not mad at me, Harmony.'
'I could never be mad at you,' Harmony said, smiling. 'I'm just a little concerned about you. That's all. I mean, you really should be thinking about your future.'
'Yeah, Harmony, you're right,' Marty Jr replied. 'I'll have to take my job seriously, from now on - so that I can have a good life. The best thing to do is to look forward.'
'That's right,' Harmony said, nodding. 'The past is prologue, Marty. People like us have to keep looking to the future.'
'I guess that's a good way of putting it, Harmony,' replied Marty Jr, smiling.
'Well, here we are, folks,' called out Marlene, as she landed in front of the Cafe '80s. 'It looks like things are just about back to normal. Let's go in and play Wild Gunmen.'
'Things aren't quite back to normal,' protested Melody. 'Since we've changed a few things in the past, things will never be quite the same as they were before.'
'It'll be tough, having two sets of memories,' agreed Jamie. 'I probably have the most adjusting to do. In the end, though, it's all positive. At least I'm not constantly getting picked on anymore. Heck, I even have a boyfriend in Bill Tannen.'
'Yeah, Bill Tannen is so unlike his cousin, Griff,' Marty Jr said, smiling. 'Even in the old timeline, he was a very nice person who proved that not all Tannens were bad.'
'I remember he was so friendly to me,' Jamie continued, 'even in the old timeline. It is just that I was always so shy around him. Know what I mean?'
'I totally understand,' Marty Jr said, softly. 'Well, let's go in, now. Doc of 1986 should be checking up on us real soon. I could go for a Pepsi Perfect, right now.'
'I suppose we'll eventually adjust to having two sets of memories,' Melody said. 'This does seem very surreal, but I guess we're all in this together. Well, anyway, let's go.'
Everyone stepped out of the hover-car, and they walked into the Cafe '80s. They each then ordered a Pepsi Perfect, and went to play Wild Gunman.
oooooooooo
Doc quietly walked up to the Cafe '80s, trying to be as inconspicuous as possible, as he was trying to digest everything he found out about this era. He was mindful to not find out too much of what happened to him in the future - but he knew he needed to check up on the five visitors, especially Jamie. He hoped Jamie's memories would return to her, as soon as they travelled back home. He wondered how everyone was coping with having two sets of memories. At least they would all be in it together.
He picked up today's copy of USA Today, Hill Valley Edition - and he immediately noticed that the headline read 'Gang Jailed'. This immediately brought back a feeling of deja vu, as he remembered the time he brought Marty into the future to post as his future son. Then he noticed that the sub-headline under it read 'Reckless Driving Crashes Into Courthouse'. Then, under it read, 'Gang Leader: I Was Framed!' He had to chuckle a bit, as he realized the similarity of both events when Griff Tannen and his gang were arrested. Of course, this particular event also carried similarities with the time the Libyan terrorists went to shoot him at Lone Pine Mall.
'Hey, Doc!' called out Marty Jr. 'It's so nice to see you!' Then he whispered, 'Did you come here from 1986 to check upon us? We all have two sets of memories, now. Also, Jamie's memories did return to her. She seems to have the same personality, albeit having a little more confidence in herself. This is going to be so confusing.'
'Well, I'm sure your father can tell you all about it,' Doc said, smiling. 'I'm glad you all are doing okay. I assume you already heard the news about Griff and his gang?'
'We sure did!' Harmony said, smiling. 'I guess that's what they get for trying to chase us. Our parents did testify against them - so they should be sentences for kidnapping us, as well. It's funny how some things turn out, isn't it?'
'Oh, if you only knew everything,' Doc said, smiling. 'Well, I should return back to the year 1986. I'm glad you kids are all doing okay. Oh, yeah, and Marty and Jennifer told me to say hi to go guys. They miss you already, you know.'
'Tell them we said hi back,' Jamie said, smiling. 'Take good care of yourself, Grandpa!'
'I certainly will,' Doc said, smiling. 'Well, I now say farewell and wish you Godspeed.'
'You certainly are a Crack Shot, aren't you, Marty?' laughed Harmony.
'Yeap, I'm a Crack Shot,' replied Marty Jr, smiling, 'just like my dad.'
'What about me?' asked Melody. 'I'm just like my mom, right?'
'Of course you are,' replied Harmony, smiling. Then, turning to Doc, she said, 'See you, Grandpa! I guess you'll have to wait over thirty years again - but I'll be seeing you again this Friday. It's funny how time travel works.'
'Believe me,' Doc said, smiling. 'It's not the first time I had to wait thirty years for something. I guess I'm quite used to it by now. So long kids.'
Doc then waved at the teens, as he stepped out of the Cafe '80s. He smiled as he headed back to Hill Valley Park, where he hid the DeLorean. One thing was certain, Marty and Jennifer was definitely headed towards a happy future.
