Running Out Of Time
Chapter 16
Enter Doctor Brown
3:22 AM
The DeLorean Time Machine road into Riverdale as discreetly as possible. Few houses were erected in the fields. Marty spotted a two-story house with many strange things on it. He pointed to the house...
Marty: That's it!
Eduardo: How do you know?
Marty: What other guy on this planet would have strange stuff on the outside of his house that looks like something from a Jules Verne story?
Eduardo: Egon?
Dan: No, that would be Ray.
Dan pulled the DeLorean in front of the house, and they all stepped out. Eduardo stepped around the house, and saw a large barn behind it...
Eduardo: Damn... does a guy need that big a barn?
Dan: Eddy, shut up, and get back over here!
Eduardo walked back to the group, as Marty and Dan walked to the door. Dan stepped to a side, as Marty proceeded to knock on the door. He was hesitant to do it again...
Marty: I don't know. What if we're at the wrong house after all?
Dan: If the guy as a shotgun, run for your life. If not, ask for directions.
Marty: That was a real help.
Marty knocked on the door again, this time louder than before. There was a loud crash, and they heard the word, "Damn" echo within. Marty and Dan looked at each other, as Dan tried to hold back a laugh. After a moment, The door flung open, to reveal a man with white hair, and a white, soot-cover apron standing in the doorway. When he took a look at Marty, an expression of shock came across his face...
Man: Marty? Is that you?!
Marty: In the flesh, Doc!
It was indeed Doc Brown. The two men, grabbed each other, and hugged. Then, the expression of happiness faded, as the Doc suddenly realized something...
Doc: Wait a minuet! How did you get here?! I thought I told you to destroy the infernal machine!
Marty: I did.
Doc: Then how...
That was when Dan walked from the side, and faced Doc...
Dan: Doctor Emmett Brown?
Doc: Yes?
Dan: Um... I'm Dan Shannon. I'm from the year 2000. You're really not got going to like this, but... Uh...
Dan motioned at the DeLorean. Doc took one look, when the expression of shock returned on his face...
Doc: Great Scott.
His eyes rolled in the back of his head, and he collapsed on the floor. Dan and Marty overlooked the fallen scientist...
Dan: Oops.
Marty: Perfect. Just plain perfect.
***
Doc laid on the makeshift couch in the living room, as Dan dumped a glass of water on his head. Doc awoke, and shook the water off his head, whipping all the water off his face. He then wiped his face, and looked at Dan. He sat up in a panic...
Doc: Who are you?!
Marty walked up behind Dan, and tried to calm Doc down...
Marty: Doc! Doc, please try to relax!
Doc tried as fast as he could to calm himself. After he got his bearings, he looked up at Marty...
Doc: Marty, I told you to destroy that blasted DeLorean when you returned to 1985. Why haven't you?
Marty: Doc, don't you remember? The day I came back from 1885, you came back, and saw it destroyed! It was hit by a train when I went back to 1985!
Doc stood up, and looked at Marty blankly...
Doc: I didn't return to 1985! If I did, I would have remembered such an event!
Marty: You did! You came in that new time machine, picked up Einstein, and I met your family!
Doc: Marty, how do you know about the new time machine I'm working on? And how do you know I have a family?
Marty: I told you... You came back.
Dan: Hold on... Maybe in this particular time, he hasn't done it yet, but to you he has. And what new time machine?
Doc: Oh, I'm starting to get a headache.
Marty: Me too. I need to sit down.
Both Doc and Marty sat on the couch. They turned to each other...
Doc: But, if you destroyed the first time machine, how could you have came back in it?
Dan: I believe I can explain that. To begin with, like I said before, my name is Dan Shannon, and I'm a Ghostbuster from the year 2000. A short while ago, we received this large experiment from the government...
***
Dan: So, that's how it happened.
Doc: And now you need my help in fixing the error in the destination time circuits so you can get back?
Dan: Exactly.
Doc: Great Scott. I never really thought anyone would be able to reconstruct such a device.
Dan: Well, they did it. It took 15 years, but they defiantly did it.
Doc: Well, I'll be glad to help you, but I was wondering if you could help me.
Dan: Sure. What ya want?
Doc: Can you solder?
