December 25, 1989
8:45 a.m.
Tokyo, Japan
Annie's POV
I had crashed into someone's chest. It belonged to a male. I looked up and saw…Marty. I blushed at him. I backed off on him and I was still blushing. I asked, stammering, "M-Marty, what the hell are you doing here?" Marty smiled at me and answered, "I came to see you, Annie. And, I've got to be honest with you. Things have been hell for me ever since you left. I was miserable in school, with the band, and trouble with our friends besides you. I had been reflecting on our relationship for the past nine years. The way we were always there for each other, our time traveling adventures, and helping Ash and Timmy. I even got sick three days ago and I didn't wake up until yesterday!"
My heart sank. I had no idea how me leaving for Tokyo would affect Marty this badly…but it was affecting me badly too. I was headaches, tired, and feeling lonely. I responded, "I've been feeling awful, too. I've been having headaches, tired, and feeling lonely. I was missing you something awful." Marty told me, "I was missing you something awful too. I want to ask you something." I looked up at him, gave him a curious stare, and asked, "What is it, Marty?" Just then, he wrapped his arm around my waist and skated me off of the ice and we skate off together.
We got on to the snow and it started to snow. At that moment, Marty had let go of my waist, got down on one knee, and got out a black box. He opened the black box and there in the middle of the box was an engagement ring. I gasped at the sight and he asked, "Annie Diane Baines, will you marry me?" Tears were rolling down my cheek. This was the moment I had been waiting for but I never thought it would be this romantic. I answered, without skipping a beat, "Yes." Marty smiled as he put the ring on my finger, got up, and kissed me.
Once again, my right foot popped. There were defiant fireworks between us. We broke out of our kiss and Marty told me, "I love you." I smiled and responded, "And I love you too. Only, one question. How the hell did you get here so fast?" Marty smirked and answered, "Simple, my dear Annie. I used Doc's De Lorean." I smiled at him even more and it added romance into this. He asked, "Uh, Annie. Do you mind if I stay here until after the New Year? I'm really not up to going back home."
I frowned and answered, "Marty, you're parents are probably worried sick. You have to go home…" Just then, my dad came over. He told us, "Well, you two have to go home." I perked up at this. I asked him, "You mean, I get go home for Christmas?" Dad nodded and answered, "Of course! In fact, the reason I wanted to bring you here was to tell you something. I'm planning to come back home for a little while during 1990." My heart leaped for joy as I hugged him. I told him, "Dad that is great news!" Dad rubbed my back and Marty offered, "Would you like to join us, Uncle Robert?" Dad smiled at Marty and answered, "First of all, if you're going to be a part of this family soon, call me dad. And second of all, is it safe?" I smiled as I let go of dad and responded, "Of course it is, dad. Marty, Doc, and I did learn that the hard way, though."
Marty pointed out, "And don't forget Timmy and Ash." I nodded and my dad shot me a look. I told him, "I tell you later." Marty and I took of our ice skates and got our boots back on. We headed back to the hotel, got into the De Lorean, and Marty flicked on the time circuits. I was sitting in my dad's lap. Marty typed in and the time circuits read: 'December 24, 1989 3:15 p.m. Hill Valley, California.'
I decided to tell Marty, "Hey Marty. You better back up; we don't have enough roads to get up to 88 MPH." Marty smirked and responded, "Roads? Where we're going, we don't need….roads." I shot him a look. I yelled, "That so Doc's line!" Dad turned to me and asked, "Uh, Annie. What does Marty mean by that?" I turned to dad and answered, "It means that you better hang on, dad." Marty flicked the flying circuits on and the De Lorean took off. We blasted off back into the past.
