Once Dan was safe, and Needles and Jim were placed by the clock tower, (Doc and Marty also conveniently put a few beer bottles by their sides, making it look like they had been 'fooling around' that night, so no one would really take their whole 'time travel' story seriously) Doc and Marty called it a night. Doc drove Marty to his home, but stopped Marty before he went into his house.
"Marty, I just wanted to thank you. You may think you ruined my plans, and maybe you did, but I... I think you redeemed yourself at the end. We completed our mission, even if it didn't turn out the way we expected. I guess that's just how life goes sometimes. And anyway, I think we all need some adventure in our lives."
Marty smiled. This, coming from Doc? He had expected to hear the standard lecture about 'the space time continuum' and the future of the universe. But Doc had decided that tonight, he would just be Marty's friend – not the crazy wild eyed scientist everyone thought him to be. With a final wave goodbye, Doc drove off in his car. He had gotten a new one since the DeLorean – for normal excursions into public.
Marty lay in his bed, listening to the tick-tick of his alarm clock beside him. It reminded him of Doc's house. Doc was a good friend – and always would be. At least, that's what Marty hoped. But who knew what could happen... in the future?
THE END
P.S. Sorry for the extremely lame ending but I'm tired and want to go to bed. Also, I want to be done with this story. I want to move on to bigger and better projects. Well, maybe not better, but definitely bigger. (
