"There was kind of an important religious holiday on Sunday, huh?" Biff asked, passing out chocolate eggs and bunnies.

After all, Josh had said that there should be bunnies whenever bad things happened to him. Biff hadn't known someone else had written that down somewhere. Josh had been pretty drunk when he'd said it.

"So let's talk about my best friend, Joshua of Nazareth, founder of Christianity. I, um, missed the thing on the Sunday after the crucifixion, but I was there for everything leading up to it. Rather than lecturing at you, I figured it'd be easier if you asked questions and I answered them. I'll be dedicating a whole class to the apostles, so don't worry if you can't keep them all straight. And I have no idea what's going on with the Catholic Church now, or televangelists, or those stickers asking what Jesus would drive. If you want to know what he was really like, I can tell you that. If you want to know, you know, religion, um, ask the guy down at the church."

She laughed, faintly, and shook her head. "No. Her bodyguards, they kinda beat me up. And then ... she pulled me aside and talked me into going with her. In like five minutes. I don't even believe in any of that stuff, I mean, I don't know how she did it. It was just 'I need your help' and ... there I was."

"That's what we do," Biff said, smile getting bigger.

She laughed again. "It was crazy," she said, shaking her head. "And she ... like your friend, she was ... calm about it. We weren't. And then she'd console us and it was ... so inside-out."

She bit her lip, realizing that she was rambling. Like always. "Sorry. Uh. She's ... okay. It didn't happen. She didn't ... give up or anything, she wouldn't have, it just ... it's a long story." She waved it off. "I'm sorry. About your friend and all."

"It was what he was meant to do," Biff said. "It's just a little hard on those of us left behind."

She nodded, again. "Yeah. It is." And then, hesitating, "... Did he ... do what he was supposed to do? I mean, did it work?"

"We're still talking about him 2000 years later," Biff said, "so I think it worked."

She held her breath for a moment before asking, "Do you think it was worth it?"

"Most days, yes. Last Friday, not particularly," Biff said. "But that's why I wasn't the Messiah."
