Chapter 1
Future Shock
October 27, 1985
Eastwood Bridge
Hill Valley, California
Noon
When the train had landed on the tracks of Eastwood Bridge in 1985, the McFlys got off and waved goodbye to the Browns.
"Uncle Marty!" Jules yelled.
"What?" he answered.
"Don't forget your new hoverboard!" He said as he held the high tech hoverboard out to him.
"Oh, yeah!" he exclaimed.
Emmett warned him again of only using it in emergencies so he would not create a paradox. Marty told Doc he would not use it. Jennifer then hurried home and the McFlys drove home in Marty's Browns then drove the train to their new home. It was located in Hilldale.
"Awesome!" Jules said in awe as he saw the mansion.
"I had it built back in 1888." Emmett explained.
"Have I ever told you how brilliant you are, Emmett?" Clara asked in admiration.
When they had all got moved in, Emmett showed them the secret underground cave where he could hide the train.
"You thought of everything Dad!" Verne exclaimed.
"Emmett, what about your lab?" Clara asked.
Doc then showed them what they assumed was the garage was actually his lab. "You are not to be in here without me or your mother watching you." He said to the boys.
"Emmett, are you going to build another time machine into a Deloreon?" Clara asked.
"Yes, Clara, I am." He replied.
"Sweet! Now we can travel through time just like Uncle Martin!" Verne said. "There are two things wrong with your statement, Verne. 1.) You will not be allowed to travel through time without your mother, Uncle Marty, Jennifer, or I along. And 2.) It's Uncle Marty not Uncle Martin!" Doc corrected him.
"Oh! One more thing, never talk to or interact with the Tannens." Doc ordered his family.
Doc then reminded his kids to never tell anybody about the time machine.
"Hey Dad, I want to travel through time and meet Jules Verne." Jules said.
"Oh! That's another thing I forgot to tell you. Tonight we are traveling to November 12, 1855 to meet Jules Verne in Nantes, France!" Doc exclaimed.
Clara looked shocked.
"How're we going to get to France in a time machine?" she asked skeptically. "While we were in 2015 I installed a location device." He answered.
Clara's eyes widened at the news.
"Wow! You've really tricked out this new time machine, Dad! Is the Deloreon going to be the same?" Verne asked impressed.
"I think it will be even better!" Doc answered.
"When are we leaving to meet Jules Verne?" Jules asked.
"As soon as we pick up Marty." Doc answered.
As soon as Doc was back with Marty they boarded the train. Their next stop was 2015 to get Jules and Verne Hoverboards. They reached 2015 without problem and successfully landed in the secret alley.
"Alright boys, we are only getting you Hoverboards on one condition. The condition is that you only use them in an emergency and don't show them to anybody in 1985 or any other time lower than 2010. Understood?" Emmett asked his two sons sternly.
"Yes we understand." Jules and Verne said in unison.
Marty knew the same went for him as well.
"Hey Doc, you don't think I could replace this girly one with a new one do you?" Marty asked timidly.
Doc told him he could and he would take the pink one.
"Alright Marty and Jennifer, you go ahead and take Jules and Verne to get Hoverboards, here is 50,000 dollars. That should be enough to get 6 Hoverboards." He said while handing the immense wad of money to Marty.
When Doc had seen them leave he took Clara to the hardware store to stock up on extra parts for the Deloreon.
When they had purchased all the necessary parts, Doc and Clara went to an electronic and gadget store to stock up on high tech gadgets just in case of an emergency. They then walked back to the hidden time machine. Before they got there however, they ran into a young teen.
"Oh! I am so sorry Marty! Are you ok?" Clara asked in concern.
"Yeah I'm fine! And, how do you know my name?" he asked.
"Don't you know me? I am Emmett's wife from 18—"she started to say, but was stopped short by a nudge by Doc.
"Oh, hello Marty Junior! How are your parents, Marty Sr. and Jennifer?" he asked while cluing in Clara at the same time.
Realization drained through Clara at almost blurting out the secret of the time machine. She felt so embarrassed.
"They're fine! You must be Doc Brown and Clara! How are your kids? Aren't their names Jules, Verne, Emily, Emmett, Einstein, Marty, and Ben?" Doc was speechless after hearing that he had five more kids.
Clara was extremely shaken as well.
"Uh, they're fine." Emmett finally said.
"I haven't seen you in a while Dr. Brown! The last time was in 2010! Where've you been? Have you moved back to 1855?" he asked.
"1855? Why and how would I move to 1855?" he asked startled.
"Well, with your time machines of course!" he responded a rather too loudly for Doc's comfort.
"Marty! How many times have I warned you not to say that in public?" Doc asked annoyed.
"It's safe now! Remember back in 2008 you patented time travel and now every family in Hill Valley has some form of a time traveling vehicle!" he said this as if it were obvious.
"Great Scott! Why would I do something foolish like that?" he asked dumbfounded.
"Dr. B? Are you ok? Or are you showing signs of your 900 years?" The teen joked.
"900 years? Marty you do know I am only 100 right?" he asked worried.
"No! That was before you moved to the late 5000's for 800 years back in 2001!" Marty Jr. replied.
"Great Scott! Marty Jr. tell me no more! I am actually from the year 1985!" Doc said fearing he would hear of his death.
Marty Jr. suddenly paled at the realization he had given Doc's past self knowledge of his future.
"I am so terribly sorry Doc! You should have said something sooner! Want me to erase your memories?" he asked.
"No, no, it's fi —Erase our memories? Since when do you have the technology to do that?" he asked in shock.
"Sorry Dr. B, but you always said that you did not want to know too much about your own future." And with that the teen beamed Doc and Clara with a device similar to a TV remote. He then ran away as fast as he could.
"Who was that kid? I can't believe he bumped into us and ran off like that!" Clara said clearly annoyed. Doc just shrugged with an ominous feeling he had just forgotten something of great importance. They then hustled back to the time machine.
"Hey, what took you guys so long with my future son?" Marty asked.
"What are you talking about Marty? We never encountered your son." Clara asked.
"Yeah you did Mom! We saw you run into him and you talked for nearly half an hour! The last thing we saw was Marty Jr. beam you and Daddy with a TV remote." Jules said.
"What?" Clara and Doc said in unison.
"That's right! And after that he ran!" Verne piped in.
"Something very fishy is going on with our families, Marty! We will take care of this matter later!" Doc said.
"Ooh! Uncle Martin's in trouble!" Verne teased.
"My name is not Uncle Martin! It's Uncle Marty!" Marty yelled peeved.
"Daddy! Uncle Martin's scaring me!" Verne cried.
Doc just rolled his eyes.
"How did I get involved in this anyway?" he muttered.
"Easy! You saved Mommy from falling into a cliff in 1885!" Verne said.
"1885? You were alive in 1885, Emmett?" Somebody said from behind them. They all turned to find Griff and his gang blocking the exit.
"Griff!" Doc and Marty said in unison.
"That's right buttheads! I'm back! Hand me the keys to the time machine or Clara gets it!" and with that 3D and Skin grabbed Clara.
"Mom!" Jules and Verne cried in unison.
Jules, Verne, Marty, and Doc charged at them and knocked them on the ground and Clara ran inside the time machine and started it. Doc meanwhile knocked Griff out with the sleep inducer and sprayed the rest of the gang with pepper spray.
"No one touches my family! Let this be a warning!" And with that Doc kicked all of them out of the alley.
All of a sudden another Clara showed up!
"That was awesome Dad!" she exclaimed.
"Dad!" Marty, Clara, Jules, Verne, and Emmett all cried in shock.
"It's me Juliette! I am your daughter remember?" the strange woman replied with shock.
"I have another kid?" Clara asked in confusion.
All of a sudden it dawned on Juliette that she was talking to her parents' past counterparts from 1985.
"Oops! Well, now that you know, I might as well bring you to meet the rest of the family." She said with embarrassment.
"The rest of the family?! You mean there's more?" Doc cried in shock.
Juliette just nodded her head. She was going to be in so much trouble later. "Excuse me for a second; I need to call your future counterpart Dad." She said as she got out her high tech cell phone. When she pulled it out, Marty's eyes bugged out.
"That's a phone?" he said in utter amazement.
"No, it's a GPS, PDA, iPod, and communications device all in a personal computer." Juliette explained.
She held it out for them to see. It was a small rectangular object with a tiny antennae sticking out of the top right corner with all kinds of buttons and LCD screens. Emmett carefully pressed a small red button and out popped a mini satellite dish that spun around. What happened next was totally shocking to all the time travelers from 1985. A hologram of Emmett appeared in midair!
"Great Scott!" Both Emmetts screamed in surprise.
Thump! Emmett Brown from 2015 fell unconscious on the floor in his study. Einstein ran to get Clara. Woof!
"What is it Einie?" Clara asked puzzled.
Einstein grabbed her skirt with his teeth and began to gently pull her towards the study.
"Oh! You want me to follow you!" Clara said finally understanding.
So off she went following Einstein. When they arrived in the study a few minutes later Clara was shocked to see her husband lying on the floor unconscious with his gadget still in his hands.
"Doc? Are you all right?" Marty asked the hologram.
All of a sudden Clara's future counterpart's hologram appeared.
"Emmett?" she whispered in shock.
"Yes, Clara, it's me! Well, actually it's me from 1985." Emmett from 1985 replied to his wife's future counterpart.
"Oh! Yeah! That's right, it would be scientifically impossible for you to be in two places at once unless you're a time traveler!" she replied.
Clara's counterpart hovered over Emmett's counterpart for a couple seconds before excusing herself to get something to wake him up. Marty raised his right eyebrow at Doc.
"You've done it now Doc! What ever happened to not messing with the future?" he queried.
"Marty! I didn't know that the button was for my future counterpart's communication device!" Doc replied defensively.
Juliette walked over to them ominously shaking her head.
"What has gotten in to you Dad? Have you gone senile? You've always lectured us over the years to not mess around with future technology!" She scolded her father's past counterpart.
"Juliette! How dare you talk to your father like that!" Clara yelled in Doc's defense.
All of a sudden a kid who looked just like Marty ran over. "Hey Juliette! What's all the commotion about?" He questioned as he flicked up his hair. "Oh hi honey!" Juliette said as she ran up and kissed him. "Great Scott! My future daughter is in love with Marty Jr.!" Doc cried in shock. "What's so bad about that?" Marty asked in anger. "Oh. Nothing. It's just shocking to see someone who looks just like you kissing my future daughter." Doc replied.
"What's wrong with it Dad? I'm almost eighteen so I think I can make mature decisions!" Juliette yelled defensively.
"Wait a minute! Did you just say you are almost eighteen? That would mean that you were born in 1997!" Doc said in shock.
"Yes, that is true. I was born on –"Juliette started to say before Marty cut her off. "You know what Doc says about knowing your own future, so you better not give him any precise dates." Marty replied to her questioning looks.
"Now Dad, you do know Marty Jr. so I think I should be able to date him!" Juliette said calmly.
"This is craziness! We're arguing with a daughter we haven't even had yet about her going out with a son of Marty's which he hasn't even had yet!" Clara said in exasperation.
"Mommy, I'm confused! What are you and Daddy yelling about?" Verne asked while pulling Clara's sleeve.
Clara bent down on her knees and faced Verne.
"Honey, this is your future sister and Marty's future son. We are arguing because Daddy is trying to make sense of what is going on in our future." Clara explained. Verne's mouth formed an "O" as he slowly realized who they were talking to. Shortly after the Browns and McFlys from 1985 got things cleared up with Juliette and Marty Jr., Juliette invited them over to the Browns' house to meet the rest of their extended families.
"Wait! Doc, won't that cause a skew in the timeline? Or even cause a paradox?" Marty asked in panic.
Doc padded Marty reassuringly on the shoulder and said: "Relax Marty! I have just invented a portable device that will alert me if the timeline has been skewed and it didn't alert me of one when my future self saw me and fainted, so I think we will be safe as long as our future selves have ample warning of our coming over tonight."
Marty didn't look to sure about that but he reluctantly agreed.
"Son!" he called to Marty Jr.
"Yeah Dad?" Marty Jr. said as he rushed over.
Marty from 1985 felt awkward at first after being called Dad, but quickly got over it.
"Call Me and your Mother up and warn them of our past selves presence tonight at Doc's alright?" he told his son.
Marty Jr. quickly communicated the warning to his parents and they in return alerted the rest of the Brown family as well. Juliette waved a cab over and they all got in.
"Where to Ms. Brown?" the cab driver asked her.
"Hill Dale Estates please." She answered.
The cab sped off into the night sky and moments later landed in Hill Dale Estates. "You have arrived at your destination. That will be 9 dollars." The cab driver said as he held out a thumb print scanner to Juliette.
"Have a good evening folks!" the cab driver said as he sped off.
The time travelers looked around Hill Dale Estates in awe.
"Quickly follow me! Stay away from the street lights!" Juliette whispered urgently. "Why all the secrecy Juliette?" Clara asked in alarm.
"Well since we have both Marty and Marty Jr. with us and they are both the exact same age and look alike we don't want Biff seeing them together again like the last time!" She said as she gave Doc a knowing look.
Realization dawned on Doc as he remembered his little escapade into the future with Marty that had sent them to the alternate 1985.
"So that's how he knew! He spied on us!" he cried in realization.
"In a way yes." Juliette said as they ran in the shadows to their future house.
They turned a corner and ran a couple more blocks. They finally reached the humble abode of the Browns of 2015.
"Wow!" all the time travelers said at once.
The house looked just like Doc's house in 1955 but ten times bigger with a mammoth garage attached to the back of it. Juliette pulled out her communication device and pressed a button. Jules' future self appeared in the air.
"Hey Juliette! Ready for me to let you through the various security fields?" he asked. "Yes and I brought our past selves from 1985 and Marty Jr. as well." She said to his image.
"Very well." His image said as he keyed the various buttons to let them through.
Juliette led them through the foyer and brought them into the study. They all sat down on the various couches. Juliette told the time travelers she was going to explain everything to their counterparts and the rest of their families and would be back shortly with tea and cookies. She walked out of the room and vanished around a corner.
"Now you've done it Doc!" Marty said.
Doc just sat there in deep shock. So, the time travelers just sat there and waited.
