As Jennifer and Doc were walking to Boot Hill Cemetery, they saw an old mineshaft, just like the one 1985 Doc in 1885 mentioned in his letter. Nearby were a few tombstones. Dynamite blew - and Jennifer, Doc and Copernicus covered their ears.

'Whoa!' exclaimed Jennifer. 'I think you woke up the dead with that blast.'

'Take this camera,' instructed Doc. 'I want to document everything!'

As Jennifer and Doc went inside to find the DeLorean, Doc was saying, 'This reminds me of the time I attempted to reach the centre of the earth. I'd be reading my favourite author, Jules Verne. I spent weeks preparing for the expedition, I didn't even get this far. Of course, I was only 12 at the time. It was the writings of Jules Verne that had a profound effect on my life. I was 11 when I first read '20,000 Leagues Under the Sea'. That's when I realized that I must devote my life into science.'

Jennifer noticed a little alcove. It was covered with wooden planks, one of which had the letters ELB marked on it.

'Hey, Doc,' called out Jennifer, 'check this out. I believe those are your initials.'

'Oh, yes,' replied Doc, 'just like in 'Journey To The Center of the Earth'! That means the time machine must be right through this wall.'

Doc and Jennifer then chopped through the planks and rocks. They went through and they saw the DeLorean, covered in a sheet. Doc sighed with astonishment.

'It's been buried here for 70 years, 2 months, and 13 days,' remarked Doc. 'Astounding.'

oooooooooo

Later, Jennifer and Doc were repairing the time machine. Jennifer was reading 1985 Doc in 1885's instructions. Doc stared at some parts through a magnifying glass.

'As you can see,' Jennifer was reading, 'the lightning bolt shorted out the time circuit control microchip. The attached sh... sh...'

'Schematic,' Doc said, helpfully.

'... schematic diagram will allow you to build a replacement unit with the 1955 components,' continued Jennifer, 'thus restoring the time machine to perfect working order.'

'Unbelievable, that his piece of junk could be such a big problem,' muttered Doc. 'No wonder this circuit failed - it says, 'Made in Japan'.'

'What do you mean, Doc?' Jennifer asked, confused. 'All the best stuff is made in Japan.'

'Unbelievable!' replied Doc.

oooooooooo

'Well, Doc,' Jennifer said, quietly, 'I wonder how your older self and Jennifer are coping with being in the Old West, especially with Marty being so sick. So I guess I should return to 1885 on September first?'

'Actually, it's better to send you back on September second,' replied Doc. 'You see, because my older self wrote the letter on September first - if you were to come back in time before my older self wrote the letter, especially if you saw me before I got the chance to write the letter, it could create a time paradox. So it's better to wait until the next day. I'm sure Marty will be fine.'

'Oh, okay,' replied Jennifer. 'It does sound like a nice era to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there forever. I'm pretty sure that Marty wouldn't, either. Even with being here in 1955, I really miss some things from the 1980s.'

'You know,' explained Doc, 'when I was a kid, I always wanted to be a cowboy. I've always dreamed of visiting the Old West. It's amazing that I actually ended up there. I guess I can't stay, though. It could create a major disturbance to the space-time continuum. Gee, sometimes I hate thinking so logically - but its necessary.'

'So, Doc,' asked Jennifer, 'where can I change into some different clothes? You probably don't have too many women who stay with you. If I come back to 1885 wearing this, though - people will look at me oddly.'

'Actually, I do some assortment of dresses that have been passed down from my relatives,' Doc explained. Then he urged, 'Come with me.'

Jennifer then followed Doc, as he showed her to the closet where he had various outfits from the past. Doc then found something.

'Hey, how about this pink Victorian dress?' Doc suggested. 'I think you'd look really good in that.'

'Oh, I love it, Doc!' gushed Jennifer. 'Thank you so much!'

'Well, you should try it on first,' Doc suggested. 'We have to make sure this dress fits you.'

Jennifer then went to the bathroom to change. After Jennifer finished changing, she was wearing a pink frilly Victorean dress that went down to her feet.

She then came out of the bathroom and asked, 'How do I look, Doc?'

'It looks like you'll fit right in,' replied Doc, after taking a good look at Jennifer.

'I just hope I don't run into any Tannens!' Jennifer grumbled. 'I'm fed up with them!'

'Don't worry, Jennifer,' Doc replied. 'Marty and I will be with you. When you find us. we will protect you.'

'Thank you, Doc,' replied Jennifer. 'You're such a good friend.'

Doc and Jennifer then headed out to the old abandoned drive-in movie theatre.

Jennifer then proceded to to say good-bye to Doc.

'I can't believe I'll have to wait 30 years to see you again,' Doc said, with tears coming from his eyes. 'You kids have been great friends.'

'Hey, Doc,' Jennifer asked, 'if you go to the future, look me up, okay?'

'Indeed I will,' Doc replied.

Jennifer then accellerated the Delorean up to 88 miles per hour, until it broke the time barrier.

oooooooooo

'I think we're about ready,' Doc was telling Jennifer. I put gas in the tank. Your future clothes are packed. Just in case, fresh batteries for your walkie-talkies. Oh, and what about that floating device?

'Oh, that's a hoverboard,' Jennifer explained.

'All right,' replied Doc, as he put the hoverboard in the DeLorean.

'You know, Doc,' Jennifer said, sighing. 'It's going to be an awfully long walk to Hill Valley from here.'

'It's still the safest plan,' explained Doc. 'After all, we can't risk sending you back to a populated area - or to a spot that's geographically unknown. You don't want to crash into some tree that once existed in the past. This is all completely open country! So you'll have plenty of run-out space when you arrive. Remember where you're going, there are no roads. There's a small cave over there which will be a perfect place to hide the time vehicle. Well, the new time circuit control tubes are warmed up!' Doc then started the DeLorean, and said, 'Time circuits on. Here, we'll send you back on September 2nd. That's a Wednesday. September 2nd, 1885, 8 AM.' Doc then input the date and time. 'All you have to do is drive the time vehicle directly towards that screen accelerating at 88 miles per hour.'

'Well, Doc,' Jennifer said, smiling. 'I guess I should get going now!'

'Well, good luck,' Doc called, 'for all of our sakes. See you in the future.' Doc then pat Jennifer on her shoulder.

'You mean the past,' corrected Jennifer.

'Exactly!' replied Doc.

Doc then ran to the building with a pistol, and he called out, 'Happy trails, Jennifer! Ready, Jennifer?'

'Ready!' replied Jennifer.

'Set!' added Doc.

'Hi, ho, silver,' replied Jennifer.

Doc then pulled the trigger, and Jennifer drove off.

'Viya con dios!' called out Doc.

Jennifer then accellerated the DeLorean to 88 miles per hour, until she broke the time barrier.
