As once more the Doc and Clara arrived back in the eighteenth century they felt as though they had come home once more. The home looked the same and everything was as they had left it. Clara put the two boys to bed and started to dust around the home.

The house was extremely dusty and as Clara cleaned she heard a noise outside. She looked out of the front window and saw her friend Seamas. He had come to make sure that everything was all right with Doc and Clara. No one had seen them for a while and he was worried. As he came up the front porch Clara met him at the door. "Good afternoon Seamus. Please come in." Clara told him.

Seamas stood in the living room and smiled Emmett came out of the back room. "Hello Emmett, the people in town have been worried about you. We have not seen you in nearly ten days. Is everything all right?" he asked them.

"Oh I am sorry. All of that work and taking care of all those sick people had exhausted me. I did not feel very well for the last several days. I am much better now. How is everyone? Have there been any new cases at all?" the Doc asked him.

"No the sickness is done. There has been no new case of typhoid in the past two weeks. Some of the people who have been sick are still weak, but most of your patients are all right and almost back to normal now." Seamus told him.

"Good. I am glad to hear that. Some of them were very ill. It is a miracle that so many people survived. But now they are fine and I will be going back to the stables in the morning. " Emmett told him.

Seamus was glad to see that his friend and his wife were fine. They had lost so many of their neighbors and so many children. But Hill Valley had survived and would build back up he was sure. He said good -bye to Emmett and Clara. Then he headed back to his own farm. Maggie had been very ill with the fever and was just starting to have the strength to take care of their son. He had been saddened to find out that the child that she had been carrying had not survived. As he had buried his son he named him after his old friend Clint Eastwood.

Emmett and Clara had decided to lay low for a while and stay in this time. Emmett went back to the stables and went to work. The stables were busy but there was the new thing that people were calling the automobile. One day Emmett thought about perhaps building himself a car. That was all he needed to do was think that it sounded like a good idea and the Doc was off to another invention .

The Doc spent any hours that he had available planning and building his car. He knew many things about an automobile and was having a good time building it. The car was finally ready for driving some six months later. As Emmett started the engine, he climbed into the seat. He was going forward indeed. The car had a top speed of just twenty miles an hour but it worked.

Clara heard a horn outside of the house and looked out the front window one more time. There she saw Emmett with a grin on his face. He was sitting in what looked to her like a carriage, but it had a motor on the front of it. He called to her and the boys to come in to the car and go for a ride.

Jules looked at his daddy and the strange carriage. He was excited and climbed eagerly into the back seat. Verne had to think about it for a moment. He then went running up to the car and climbed into the back seat with his brother.

The roads were all dirt at this time so the ride was not a smooth one. As the Brown family rode down the street they headed to their friends Maggie and Seamus McFly. Seamus had been out in the barn when he had heard the strange noise. He had come out along with Maggie and their son. William was growing up fast . When he saw Emmett and his family coming up to the house in the strange vehicle.

William was now almost thirteen and he was very interested in the new invention called the automobile. Emmet answered the many questions that William had and showed him what the car could do. It was a crude car and the car still had no steering wheel. It was steered by a stick. The engine had two cylinders and a large coolant system. It ran on gas.

Each member of the McFly family took their turns in the automobile. Seamus even tried his hand at driving it. When they were done showing the vehicle to the McFly's house they drove up to the main street of town. As the Doc and Clara proudly showed their new car off the townspeople looked at it with questioning looks. Mostly the men stopped them and asked questions about the workings of the vehicle.

The Doc willingly took many people for their first ride in an automobile. Some were not impressed with the loud slow moving machine. But still others were very interested in the new invention. They had read about these vehicles in magazines and newspapers. The mayor of Hill Valley wanted Emmett to make him a car. Emmett had started something that was going to change the face of America later on.

As the Doc and Clara went to their home and parked the car out front. It was strange how their house had become the talk of the town once more. First with their flush toilets and electricity. Now the people were interested in the new vehicle that the Doc had made. They wanted to know more about it. The Doc now knew that he might be changing history once again and both he and Clara knew what damage that could cause. As Emmett went to bed that night he did not feel comfortable . He was worried about how much things had changed because of him once again.
