Lorraine's POV

I was furious at Marty and at Annie. But, the thing of it was...they were right. As we were headed for Robert's house after having some dinner together, I turned to Robert.

I said, "Robert, I hate to be a sour puss but Annie and Marty are right. You have been rather rotten to Annie."

George nodded and added, "Marty was right too. Annie had every right to say what has been on her mind for the past four years."

Robert sighed and responded, "You're right. It's just I don't want Annie to get hurt by Doctor Brown, that's all."

I shot back, "But, he would never hurt a fly and Betty knew that!"

Robert shot me an icy stare. I shouldn't have said that. Just then, three sonic booms captured our attention. We looked up and saw an old fashioned looking train.

We blurted out, "What the hell?"

George stopped the car and we all got out of the car. We went over to the train, trying not to attract attention. Marty, Annie, and Doctor Brown were there! What's was going on?

I heard Marty say, "It's good to see you, Doc. Where's Clara?"

'Who the hell is Clara,' I thought. George and Robert exchanged confused looks too.

We then heard a female voice saying, "Marty, Annie! It's great to see you again!"

We looked around the corner of the train. We saw a beautiful woman there. She was tall with brown hair. But, that's all I could see.

Marty smiled at the woman and said, "It's great to see you too, Clara."

Two boys came out of the train next. One had short brown hair and the other had short blonde hair.

The boy with the short brown hair said, "Salutations, Martian and Annie."

Annie joked, "Formal, aren't you?"

The boy with short blonde hair hugged Marty and said, "Hi, Marty." He then hugged Annie and added, "Hi, Annie!"

Annie joked again, as Verne let go of the two of them, "Verne sure is the friendly one, Doc. While Jules is more of the polite one."

Doc smiled and responded, "I know. That's the way that they turned out." The next thing Doctor Brown said shocked me to my core. He added, "Anyways, it is good seeing you too again. And the day we first met in 1955."

We all exchanged surprised looks. Did Doctor Brown just say 1955?

Marty smiled and responded, "That was the best day ever."

Annie joked, "Despite us getting shot at, hanged, and hit on by assholes and weird guys?"

Robert revealed that we were near-by and yelled, "Annie Diane Baines! What the hell is going on here?"

Annie, Marty, Doc, Clara, Jules, and Verne turned around surprised.

Annie freaked out and responded, "Dad! What the hell are you doing here?"

George and I decided to let ourselves be shown and we came over.

George said, "He's not alone. We're here too."

Marty freaked out too and responded, "Mom! Dad!"

I asked, putting on my maternal instincts, "What the hell is going on?"

Doc pointed to the train and yelled, "Quick, everyone aboard!"

Marty, Annie, Doc, Clara, Jules, Verne, and Einstein ran aboard and the train took off.

George and I yelled, "Marty!"

Robert yelled, "Annie!"

With that, the train took off and disappeared! Robert, George and I fainted from the sight.
