A/N Sorry that I had you all thinking that I abandoned this story. I haven't been writing on this for while because part of it was me being busy and the other part was that I was being lazy with my writing. I'm gonna finish this story someday and I hope that it'll be before the end of this summer. Be sure to let me know how you like my story. I do not own Back to the Future of Johnny Test.

Chapter 20: Hubert Gets Mugged

Johnny and the twins arrived to their house in the golf cart and walk up to their garage saying,

Mary: "All right, since Citizen Brown won't believe what we say about everyone in Porkbelly being miserable…"

Susan: "Maybe watching one of Dad's tapes will make him believe."

Johnny: "Exactly. We just need to get Dad to-"

But then, they find their garage in a complete mess; Hubert was lying on the ground unconscious and one of his surveillance monitors was busted.

Johnny, Mary and Susan: "DAD!"

They all ran towards Hubert as he was coming around.

Hubert: (Dazed) "Oh, hey, Jonathan, girls, you're back. Could you all do your old man a favor and pull out the tape for me? I think it's just about-"

The twins kneeled beside their father when they got close to him and try helping him up.

Susan: "Dad, take it easy. You're hurt."

Mary: "What happened to you?"

Hubert: "Ohh, honestly? I really have no idea. It happened so suddenly."

Johnny: (Pulls up chair) "Here, Dad. Just sit here for a while."

Hubert: (Sits in chair) "Ooh, maybe all that supervising I was doing caused me to blackout."

Susan: "Dad, you didn't just blackout. You've been mugged!"

Hubert: "What? Mugged? That's not possible. Violence has been restricted from Porkbelly ever since- ahh, ow!"

Johnny: "Dad, relax, all right? Any idea who would do this to you?"

Hubert: "Ohh, I don't know. This is not happening."

Mary: "Johnny, take a look around and see if anything had been left behind. We'll take care of Dad."

Johnny: "Got it."

Johnny looked around the garage for a bit and spots what he and his sisters came for; tape cases that would help them prove to Citizen Brown that Porkbelly isn't the utopia he believed it to be walks up to it.

Johnny: "There they are. "Raw Footage"."

Hubert: "Whew, good, they're still there."

Mary walks over to the cases and goes through them with Johnny to find the footage they needed. The only problem was…

Mary: "Oh, you have got to be kidding me."

Susan: "What's wrong?"

Johnny: "Aw man, there's nothing!" (Kicks tape case)

Hubert: "What do you-?"

Mary: (Holds out empty tape case) "There're no tapes in these things. They're all empty!"

Susan: "Oh, crud."

Hubert: "What? But I'm sure that I've put them in there before- agh."

Mary drops the case and stands beside her injured father again.

Johnny: "Yeah, before whoever banged you in the head and made off with em."

Hubert: "Oh, that is complete nonsense, Jonathan. Do you even have any proof that I've been assaulted?"

Susan: "Well, this nasty lump that you've got on your head, for one thing."

Hubert: "And?"

Johnny: "And, uhh… huh?"

Johnny notices an aluminum bat lying on the floor and walks up to it.

Johnny: "Hey, Dad? Any chance that bat is one of ours?"

Hubert: "No- No! Tests never aluminum bats." (Stands up from chair, walks up to bat) "Hmm, this is very strange."

He was about pick up the bat, but Susan stops him.

Susan: "Dad, wait! Don't touch that. That's evidence."

Hubert: "Evidence? Of what?"

Susan pretends to bang Johnny in the head and he pretends to be dazed and disoriented, and Hubert got the message as he sat back down on the chair.

Hubert: "Ohh, why would anybody do such a thing to a nice sector-L citizen like me?"

Johnny: "Like we were trying to tell you, whoever it was that stole your tapes."

Hubert: "Oh, my gosh! You were right! I've been mugged! Mugged! Here, in Porkbelly! Oh, this can't be happening! They can't get away with this! Oww, ow!"

Mary: "Dad, relax."

Susan: "Yeah, we'll figure it out… somehow."

Hubert: "Who? Who would do this to me?"

Mary: "Hmm… good question. Let's think; who do we know that wouldn't want Citizen Brown to know what's really going on around in Porkbelly?"

The teens thought about an answer to that question and came up with the only person in Porkbelly they knew that go as far as to hurt their dad just to keep the truth from Citizen Brown.

Johnny, Mary and Susan: "Edna!"

Hubert: "Are you three actually saying that I've been mugged by Citizen Brown's elderly wife?"

Susan: "W-Well, maybe not directly, but-"

Hubert: "Oh, it's no use. The tapes are gone. The only thing that I can do now is hope against hope that they don't surface and land me in trouble."

Susan: "Dad, that's quitter talk. We can't give up like this."

Johnny: "Yeah. We gotta at least tell the cops about this."

Hubert: "No! Don't you dare, Jonathan! I don't want the authorities to know anything about those tapes… not yet, at least. I could end up in big trouble. Big trouble!"

Mary: "Well, at least that part of you hasn't changed. There has to be something that we can do to get those tapes back."

Hubert: "Well, we can always make some new tapes."

Johnny: "Huh? Really?"

Hubert: "Yes, really. It'll probably take about six months or so, but if you children are willing to-"

Johnny: "Say wha? Six months? But, Dad, we need those tapes now!"

Hubert: "What? You need the tapes?"

Johnny: "Uh, yeah, I mean, well, we need to take em to Citizen Brown."

Hubert just shook his head in response.

Mary: "Dad, it's important, okay? Just, bear with us for a minute."

Susan: "We said to him that we'd bring him proof that Porkbelly isn't the kind of town that he believes it to be when we were all in his office a few minutes ago."

Hubert: "All three of you got to have a meeting with the mayor of Porkbelly?"

Mary: "Yeah, but it wasn't easy. We had to break plenty of rules before we could."

Hubert: "Wh-what did you just say? You've been breaking rules?"

Johnny: "Yeah. Walking around with a flask, a stray dog and kissing a girl in public-"

Hubert: "That is the most ludicrous thing I've ever heard in my life!"

Johnny: "Dad, I'm serious!"

Hubert: "In case you've forgotten, Jonathan, I am your father. I know you and your sisters better than you know yourselves."

Mary: "Yeah, well, we're not exactly who you believe us to be anymore."

Hubert: "Is that so? Then, why don't you prove it?"

Johnny: "All right, you asked for it."

Johnny nods at his sisters and they all took a demerit they had each received and held them out in front of their delirious father.

Johnny, Mary and Susan: "Read it and weep."

Hubert: "Demerits? But-"

Susan: "You said that you wanted proof…"

Hubert: "I don't understand! How is all of this-?"

Mary: "Dad, take it easy and just listen to what we're saying to you right here and now. We all know that things aren't what they're supposed to be."

Susan: "Citizen Brown did start with good intentions for everyone in town, but it's just made everyone unhappy with the way he's running things now."

Hubert: "Shhh! You all said that to him?"

Mary and Susan: "Yeah, that's right."

Hubert: "Aw, no… well, there go our privileges."

Johnny: "Look, Dad, we got him to listen to us, and he's gonna make everything better. For you, Mom, Sissy, and everybody."

Susan: "We can't explain how he'll do that, but all you need to do is trust us on this one."

Hubert: "Umm… okay."

Johnny: "Listen, all we need is those tapes you've made that shows people that are miserable and then he'll-"

Hubert: "Oh, no. Uh-uh. Forget it."

Johnny: "What?"

Hubert: "This scheme of yours; maybe you three know what you're doing, I can't say, but leave me out of this!"

Johnny: "But-"

Hubert: "I don't wanna get into any trouble; no more than what you've already gotten yourselves into. It's not in my genes to handle that kind of trouble."

Johnny: "What're you talking about? Sure it is. Come on, Dad. Think about us, and Mom. We're your family."

Hubert: "I am thinking about all of you, and the last thing I want is to see you all relocated to sector-X with all the other hopeless cases!"

Johnny: "All right, fine! If you won't do it for us, then… do it for your dad."

Hubert: "My father?"

Johnny: "Yeah, Arthur Test."

Hubert: "I know his name."

Johnny: "Say, any chance he had something to do with Kid Tannen being put in jail in like, say, 1931?"

Hubert: "Yeah… exactly! Where did you hear that from?"

Mary: "Oh, we've been learning a bit about our family history. Anyways, you know what Johnny's talking about, right?"

Hubert: "Yes. It was way back before Citizen Brown became the mayor of this town, before your mother and I were even born. Everyone lived in terror of Kid Tannen and his goons. But, your grandfather stood up to him. He had the evidence to Tannen's guilt and put his life on the line to deliver it to the authorities… "Never be afraid to do the right thing". That's what he always told me…"

He looked at the floor for a moment until he raised his head with a determined look on his face, turned to face his control panel and presses a few buttons.

Johnny: "Now what're you doing?"

Hubert: "Trying to find where the right feed is."

Mary: "The feed to what?"

Hubert: "To the surveillance camera. The one in the front yard."

Johnny: "Say wha? Whoa, whoa, hold on a minute, you mean to tell that you've had a camera hooked up to yourself this whole time?"

Hubert: "Of course. Gotta cover all bases."

Susan: "Dad, why didn't you just tell us that in the first place?"

Hubert: "Well, you never asked me that in the first place. Now, all of you quit standing around and help your old man out. Try flipping the switches on the monitors until you've found which one has us on it."

Johnny: "Okay, okay, I'll give it a shot."

Johnny starts with the monitor on the top left and tries to find themselves on it.

Johnny: "(Presses switch) Nope. (Presses switch) Nope. (Presses switch) Nope."

Then he tries on the bottom left monitor.

Johnny: "(Presses switch) Nope. (Presses switch) No- oh! Hey, look!"

He turns around, waves his arm in the air a bit and sees himself waving his arm on the monitor while also standing beside his family.

Hubert: "Aha, there we are! So, the tape must be on this VCR. I'll just rewind to the moment before I blacked out. Hmm… it seems to have happened at sometime around 5:30. That was when I was cleaning the playback heads."

They continued watching until Hubert's mugger came walking up to him from behind with an aluminum bat in his hands.

Johnny, Mary and Susan: "It's Biff!"

Hubert: "Biff? But that's not possible. The Citizen's Plus program has made him as gentle as a-" (Sees himself getting hit in the head by Biff) "…kitten."

Johnny: "Ouch."

Susan: "I knew that bat looked familiar somehow."

They all watch Biff on the monitor as he took the tapes from Hubert while he was unconscious and started smashing one of the monitors with the bat.

Hubert: "This doesn't make any sense. Biff is not supposed to behave like this. Why on earth would he-"

Mary: "Wait, hold on. There's something flashing on his wrist. Dad, is there a way you can zoom in on this?"

Hubert: "You bet. I knew that this zoom-and-enhance feature would come in handy. Cost me a bundle at the hobby shop, but this'll be worth it."

Hubert zooms the video in on Biff and the teens see where the flashing was coming from.

Susan: "It's his digital watch!"

Johnny: "Why's it doing that?"

Susan: "No idea. Dad, stop the tape."

Hubert pauses the tape.

Susan: "Okay, now zoom in on his watch, and rotate the image."

Hubert manages to do so and the teens were able to read what was on Biff's watch.

Johnny: "X-11?"

Hubert: "Do any of you know what that means?"

Mary: "Not yet, but I think we will soon. Can you print this out for us?"

Hubert: "Sure." (Presses a button)

Johnny walks up to the printer as the image of the watch was printed out. He takes the picture and puts it in his pocket. Just then, Lila had arrived back home.

Hubert: "Lillian!"

Lila: "Don't "Lillian" me, Hubert. I've got something very important to say to you before I leave again."

Hubert: "So do I, Lillian. Listen, I been mu-"

Lila: "Oh, it's always about you, Hubert! You never give me the time of day to hear my news."

The teens walk out from the garage while their parents continued arguing.

Johnny: "Uh, should we try to stop them?"

Susan: "Nah, let em work it out. Right now, we've got more important matters to take care of."

Johnny: "Yeah. Let's go pay Biff a visit."

They hop inside the golf cart and Johnny drives them straight to the town square to find Biff.

Johnny: "Hey, you know what I realized?"

Susan: "What?"

Johnny: "Every time we get stuck in an alternate reality, Dad always ends getting hurt by Biff. I mean, first he gets killed by him, then he gets put in a wheelchair by him, and now he's been mugged by him."

Mary: "Well, at least Biff does less damage to him each time."

Susan: "Yeah, but that's not important right now. Let's just hope that Biff is back at his Citizen Plus booth."

Johnny: "Right."
