OMG Nick really came back to life?!?! WOW, that was happier than I thought it was going to be, honestly! LOL I hoped they would make it back to their world in this version, but I really thought Nick would stay dead. That was a nice surprise! It's a sci-fi, so I'll accept miraculous resurrections. I like the idea of the Backstreet Boys as a complete fivesome much better than just the four of them and dead Nick. =D I love that they got dumped off at the airport - I think I forgot to say so in my review for the A Epilogue because I was so shocked, but I liked it in that version too. I'm just glad this one had planes and people!! LOL I thought it was cool how their Matt was the doppleganger of the Matt in the post-apocalyptic universe. I had forgotten all about the Matt that died in the airplane, so I never would have made that connection LOL, and it's interesting that they didn't realize it while they were in the other universe either. The theme of redemption definitely came through when Leighanne was there to meet Brian and when Howie mentioned his gratitude over getting a second chance. I loved the very ending, with the mention of the news report about Trump... dun dun dun!!! Although I enjoyed the other ending for its shock value and the whole idea of alternate endings was fun, this whole B track was much more satisfying than the other one, so thank you for that! I will give more of an overview in my final survey, I'm sure, whenever you get around to posting that at the end of the month, but I really enjoyed this story; it was different, but really cool! You did an awesome job with it!!

Of course I brought Nick back to life! I vowed never to kill the guys in my fanfics and by bringing them all back to life at the end I kind of stuck to my promise, maybe... a little? And yes, it's Sci fi so he *says in Monty Python English accent* 'got better' lol I knew i'd have them back at the airport right before they left so this way they could not get on that plane. As a joke at the end, I was going to have Leighanne still be all huffy about not taking a plane and demand to board only to have none of them try to stop her, including Brian as a final parting jab at one of my favorite people, but I decided to end it 'classy' lmao Thanks so much for reading this Julie! I can't believe you're already done with it. I honestly wasn't sure if you'd like this one or not and it was a huge relief to see you enjoyed it! It meant a lot to me! :O)

I'm almost bouncing on my chair with joy! What a fantastic ending to an awesome story. As I was reading this chapter, I did wonder whether Nick would be somehow come back to life, especially the part where he appeared to be sleeping and not dead. But to go back to before they boarded the plane was just amazing.
And I voted for the other ending, how wrong was I!! This is the ending I wanted :)
Oh yeah, I wonder about Donald Trump? Hmm...

Thanks, Steph! I'm glad you liked the ending! Bringing them back to before it happened seemed like the only way to justify bringing Nick back just like bringing them back in time with the other Nick seemed to make the most sense in that scenerio.
We all know Trump is a douche lol At least we can take that knowledge and move forward cautiously! lmao

Yay! See I knew you'd let Nick live in one scenario lol. This is why you bring back your Nick and not the doppleganger :P.

*APPLAUSE*, *APPLAUSE*, *APPLAUSE*
In the previous epilogue, when Howie thought it was his Nicky returning, I thought what a twist that would be. But it makes perfect sense to me....they haven't taken off yet, so Nick isn't dead. I knew you really couldn't kill our Nick! Well, not permanently. Again, good job, Mare. How you manage to keep this straight in your head, I have no idea.

It was tricky figuring out a way to keep Nick alive so going back in time was the way to get around that. Thanks so much for reading and reviewing all these years! I have greatly appreciated it! :O)
