Repeating History

Friday, November 1st, 1985
6:30am
Marty McFly woke up up very early on Friday morning. For a second he couldn't remember what woke him up.
Then it hit him. It was tapping on the window, Marty thought.
Just as Marty was going to put his head back on his pillow, the tapping started again. Marty got out of bed and went to the window to see what was going on.
To his shock, he saw Dr Emmett L Brown.
"Marty, it's me Doc."
"Doc?! I can't believe it! Where the hell have you been these past couple of days?"
5 days had past since Doc came back to 1985 with Clara and their two sons Jules and Verne in their train time machine from the old west, then departed for no particular reason. Since, then, Marty wondered if he would ever see Doc again.
Looks like now is the time, Marty thought with a smile.
"Marty, you gotta come back with me!" Doc said.
"Don't tell me... back to the future?"
"Precisely!"
"What? Why are we going to the future? I thought you never wanted to time travel ever again!" Marty said.
Doc frowned. "Marty, it's six in the morning and your parents are probably asleep. We'll discuss this in the time machine." He said.
"Excuse me?"
"Just get dressed and meet me at the Eastwood Ravine." Doc said.
"Eastwood ravine? I thought it was the Clayton Ravine." Marty said.
"Marty, I saved Clara. So it isn't called Clayton Ravine. Just go! The entire space-time continuum is at risk!" Doc said.
"Oh all right." Marty said.
"Good. See you then." Doc said.
After that, Doc disappeared. After getting dressed, he took his skateboard and went out the window, so he wouldn't wake up his parents.
10 minutes later he arrived at Eastwood Ravine. He then saw the steam train time machine. It did look like a train, but it had several odds and ends on it. Doc was nowhere to be seen.
Just then, the doors of the train opened and Doc stepped out.
"Marty! You made it!"
Marty then noticed that Doc was wearing the exact outfit he wore when Marty, Doc and Jennifer went to 2015.
"Hey Doc, where's your family?"
A woman with long black hair and futuristic clothing came out. It was Clara.
"Hello Marty." Clara said.
"Hey Clara!" Marty said.
"Is that Marty? Wow! He's neat." A childish voice said.
The voice came from a small boy with blond hair. He wore a blue T-shirt which said 'Dragon Ball Z'-whatever that was, weird colour shifting pants, futuristic Nike shoes and a green see-through hat.
The boy was Verne Brown, youngest son of Doc and Clara.
"Hi!" Verne said. "You must be Dad's friend Marty."
"Yeah."
"I'm Verne. I'm 8."
"Verne, why do we have to go to the future?" Marty said.
"Oh, if you want to know that bit of information, you should consult Father instead of Verne. He knows more about the matter than Verne." A voice said.
At first, Marty thought it was Doc, but it sounded too young. Marty looked at the train and a boy, slightly bigger than Verne, came out. He had brown hair, wore a t-shirt which said "Nike, just wear it" and blue jeans.
"Hello Martin. I am Jules Eratothenes Brown. I am pleased to meet you." Jules said.
Marty's eyes widened. He couldn't believe that Jules said all those words.
"Me too. But it's Marty, not Martin." Marty said.
"Whatever." Father shall explain."
Doc walked over to them. "Okay, Marty now let me explain the situation." He said.
"Okay, spill it." Marty said.
"After we visited you when you came back from 1885, I decided to go to the future, to see if you're future was all right. As you know, Jennifer had said something about bringing a note back from the future and the writing on it was erased, so I thought maybe you didn't have that automobile accident." Doc said.
"Right, go on." Marty said.
"When we went to the future, 2055 to be exact, we ran into something that was not good. The clock tower was gone! In short, it looked just like the alternate reality that Biff created with the almanac. Except, that, it appeared that Griff was running Hill Valley this time." Doc said.
Marty gasped.
Doc continued. "When we went to my old place at JFK drive. I noticed that the blueprints for the DeLorean and the flux capacitor were gone. I did some research at the library and noticed that Griff won several sports events in the 2030's. Griff was released from jail in 2028. I noticed that in a photo, there was an almanac in it, the dates saying 2010-2050." Doc said.
"So it's similar to the time when Biff got a hold of the almanac and changed history." Marty said.
"Well, yes. But what I couldn't understand how Griff got the almanac. Then I heard about Griff's son, Butch. Butch Tannen was incredibly intelligent, possibly as intelligent as me. What I thought was, that Butch stole the blueprints, created a DeLorean and then Griff bought an almanac from the bookstore and went back in time and gave the book to his younger self." Doc concluded.
"But what has this got to do with me?" Marty said.
"You have to ask Griff how he got the almanac. I can't do it, because I found out that I was murdered by an unknown killer! So it would cause too much suspicion. You should go." Doc said.
"Yeah, but last time I did that, I nearly got shot!" Marty said.
"Don't worry, that won't happen again." Doc said. "I'll make sure of that. Now I need you to change into your future clothes."
"Got it Doc. Where are they?" Marty said.
"In the back of the train." Clara said.
Marty got into the train. It was much bigger than the cramped interior of the DeLorean, with a wooden interior and 8 seats made of velvet and foam.
Finally, Marty found the clothes, which were the same ones that Marty wore in 2015. Marty put the clothes on.
They all got into the train. Doc set the Destination time to Dec 29, 2045 10:00pm and put some logs and wood into the furnace to generate steam. "All right every one." Doc said. "Let's go."
The train rose up in the air. The train took off, gaining speed, 86...87...88 and into the future.
