This is my DaseyNation Secret Santa gift to Brightside. I know she has an emotional attachment to "Back to the Future" So I decided to make a fanfic centered around that idea. Rach, I hope you like it! The story takes place mostly in the past but the beginning and ending are both in the future.

"Mr. Jacobson!" I yelled out loud in the middle of class. I raised my hand up high.

"Yes, Lily. What is it?"

"Are time machines really possible?"

"No Lily probably not. I think you've been watching too many movies. "

"Yes, sorry Mr. Jacobson." He nodded and continued on with the lesson. I put my head down and started daydreaming again. Lately I've been having this weird dreams. I'm getting sucked down into an alternate universe and suddenly everything is blurry. This world is different then my own but then when I open my mouth to say something, I wake up. That's what brought me to my question, because I think my dreams have to do with time travel. I know it sounds insane but I actually think it's possible. I mean for a 15 year old, you'd think I'd have a clear view on reality but sometimes when provoked my inner weird self surfaces and I beg these strange questions.

A loud bell rings out and suddenly I know the period is over. Out to greet me at my classroom door is my best friend Jake.

"Hey Lilz. How was class?" He says casually.

"Eh. It was okay, the teacher thought I was crazy though."

Jake laughed, "Why's that?"

I sighed, "Because I brought up the idea of time machines."

"Well that's not crazy at all," said Jake.

"Yeah coming from the guy that actually believed crocodiles lived in the water tower, that doesn't mean much," I said sarcastically.

"Okay first of all, Ouch that was harsh. And second, you know it's possible. I mean where are they going to keep all of them. I mean our town is near the lake and we have no zoo."

"Look I'm sorry I snapped at you, I just can't believe Mr. Jacobson. He dismissed it without even considering it," I growled.

"Well he may not believe you, but I think it's possible. I mean okay the idea of time travel has to come from somewhere. I may not be an expert at chemistry and physics but I do think I have a knack for logic and the idea of a time machine makes sense," said Jake.

"Thanks Jake," I put a hand on his shoulder as I was walking away I couldn't help but notice a smile tugging at Jake's face and for some reason my heart skipped a beat.

Just then when I wasn't even watching I ran into a teacher. Oh no, just my luck. The teacher had curly red hair and freckles.

"I'm sorry," I said attempting to help him gather his things.

"It's quite alright. No foul, no bruise," he said. As he was gathering his thing I couldn't help but look at his papers they had drawings on them. Of some sort of large steel cone like thing. On the machines it had dates on it and suddenly it was beginning to hit me what the drawings were of.

He got up and began to walk away and I called after him, "Wait!"

He halted and turned around, "Yes, was there something else?"

"These drawings you have there. Are they of time machines?"

He laughed awkwardly, "Time machines? My someone has been watching a little too much 'Back to the Future' eh."

"But-"

"I'm really sorry. I must be going," he interrupted rushing into the nearest class he could find.

Can you say strange? I thought to myself. The rest of the day just seemed to fly by. The only thing that seemed to keep me mildly awake in my classes was the memory of what went down this afternoon. Those drawings stuck in my mind, and the way that teacher guy acted. I couldn't get those out of mind. When the day ended I waited patiently for my mother to arrive to take me home.

Finally I saw mom's blue Volvo coming around the corner. She opened the door. I peered and saw my mother. Some people say my mother and I are twins. Her hair is long and brown, and she is very tall. The only difference between us is that I have a blue streak rushing through the right side of my hair. My father is also tall, taller than my mom. Which is weird because I'm not tall, sometimes I wonder if we're all even related.

"Did you have a good day, Lily?" she asks.

"It was fine."

"Fine," she laughs "Isn't that what all the teenagers say when asked about their day?"

"Really mom it was fine, nothing new to tell you," I sigh.

"Aww. I see. Well Uncle Derek and Aunt Emily are over right now. Derek and your dad are going to fix the refrigerator. Heaven forbid they couldn't actually call a professional to take care of the job. Men," Mom sighed.

"Oh did Alicia and Ben come along too?"

"No Ben has hockey practice, and Alicia is over at friend's house."

"Oh. Okay I was just wondering."

Mom smiled and we were on our way home. I regretfully grabbed my backpack and hurried into the house.

"What? No Hello for your Uncle Derek?!" Uncle Derek said from within the living room.

"No, It's not that I just really need to get into my room and study."

"Studying? Oi, you're just like your mom. I was hoping you wouldn't turn out to be a superkeener like her."

"Super keener? Derek have you not grown up at all in the last 17 years?" Mom snapped.

"Oh geeze Space-Case get a life," Uncle Derek said.

"Emily, I never knew what you saw in him," she sighed.

"Sometimes I wonder that myself," said Aunt Emily.

"Hey!" Uncle Derek exclaimed and then sneaked a kiss to Aunt Emily.

"Okay ew! Grown ups making out. I'm going upstairs now!" I exclaimed.

I heard them all laughing and suddenly I remembered what I was going to do. I took out my pink cell phone and dialed my partner's number.

"Hello?" said a rough male voice, I knew and loved.

"Jake," I said.

"Wow so formal tonight. Usually you just call me an idiot and then hang up," he laughed.

"Not tonight, Jake I got a preposition for you if you're interested."

"Is it illegal?"

"Only partly."

"Okay. What is it?"

"Today I saw something strange when I bumped into a teacher today. Papers flew crazy out of his bag and when I looked at them I saw drawings of what I believe to be 'Time Machines.' As soon as I suggested it the guy was really weird and rushed into a classroom. I want to know what this guy is up to. I wanted to ask if you wanted to come along with me to sneak into the school and get the info."

"Whoa breaking into school? Isn't that against the rules Lil?"

"Yes, but Jake. I think this might be the answer to the dreams I've been having. Jake can you just tell me if you are in or are you out?"

"Fine I'm in, but if something blows us up or we get sent to prison, it'll be on your head."

"Thanks Jake."

"So when do we do this?"

"Tonight."

"Tonight? But how? I mean it's not like we have a car."

"You can drive can't you?"

"Well yeah, but I don't have a car."

"Let me take care of the car. You just get here by seven okay?"

"Okay but Lil, how are we supposed to-"

"Great! Thanks, bye Jake!" I hung up the phone.

I started getting my things together for what I would need.

It was getting close to dinner time and I already had it all planned out. I ate rather quickly. I noticed I was getting stares from the rest of the family. Just as I was finnished and grabbed the backpack I had clearly set next to the front door. Uncle Derek came up behind me.

"Where do you think you're going?" He asked suspiciously.

"Oh me? Well I'm just going over to Jake's to study."

He eyed me like he didn't believe me, "Studying? Lily, I invented that excuse. What's really going on?"

I panicked, he got me. Stupid Uncle Derek and his catching ways.

"Okay fine I'm going to go to a party with Jake." At least a party isn't as bad as felony such as breaking into a school.

"I knew you weren't studying," he said slyly.

"Yeah so you're not going to tell mom are you?"

"As long as your back by midnight. I have to admit, I love being the one the young ones can talk to. Gives me one up on Casey."

I tried to hide the smirk coming across my face at that statement.

"Okay well be off then. Party it up, because when you get older that's all gone," he sighed.

"Thanks," I grabbed my bag and rushed out the door.

I looked around but didn't see anyone. Just then someone yelled, "BOO!"

I turned around all sleek like. "Wow, Jake you really got me," I sassed. I looked at Jake he was covered in black head to toe.

I laughed, "Jake we're not planning on robbing a bank."

He rolled his eyes, "So what's this car you got planned?"

I grabbed his arm in the darkness and led him into our garage.

In there was this Jeep Cherokee, It was to be my car when I became of age. Dad hid the keys in the saddest of places. Underneath the "Welcome" mat, didn't he know growing up with Uncles like Derek and Edwin. I was going to have some previous knowledge on sneaking out.

I grabbed the key from underneath the mat and gave it to Jake. "Here," I said.

"Uh.. Lil I don't think I can do this."

"Why's that?"

"It's like grand theft auto."

"No, it's not. Hey it's eventually to become my car anyway and me giving you permission is okay."

"Okay fine! But if we get caught, It was your idea!"

"Okay agreed, I will take the blame."

"Thank you!"

"Okay now let's get going." We both got into the car and quickly put my backpack in the back.

"Isn't this exciting?!" I shrieked.

"To who? Felons?"

"Oh come on Jake. You can't just say this is no fun whatsoever."

"Okay so it's a little fun."

A smile tug at my face, "I knew it!"

He turned the key and slowly pulled out of the garage.

"Don't you think your parents are going to notice that the car is missing?"

I smiled, "I don't think so. Uncle Derek is covering for us. Besides Derek and Mom have no where to talk. Aunt Lizzie told me, that when they were our age they took Grandma and Grandpa's car out. In the end it left bad results. So I'll bet he'll cover for us."

"Alright but I still don't like this plan!"

Then we were off, heading the streets to the school. I turned up some music and waited patiently for us to arrive. Five or ten minutes later we reached the school.

I pulled my backpack out of the backseat and waited for Jake to come up beside me. When he did I tossed the backpack to him.

"What did you bring?" He asked.

"Oh just. My lock picking kit, some gloves, my cell phone, and a wallet with some cash and my credit card, oh and I'm wearing a locket my mother gave me."

"Oh is that all?" he sassed at me.

"Anyway, let's go."

We both got to the doors of the school. Jake sadly tried to open the doors, "They won't open!"

"Oh Jake," I laughed.

I grabbed the lock picking kit from the bag and went to work. Within a few minutes the lock and broken it's seal and we were inside.

I smiled at Jake and he smiled back.

"So what are we looking for exactly?" He asked finally.

I looked around, Where is it? That guy went into some room. It looked like a closet. I looked around the school with Jake. We searched the upper floor the down floor and nothing. We searched most of the Janitor closets and nothing.

"I give up," I said sadly.

Just then Jake came to a halt. "Wait," he said abruptly.

I stopped like he said and suddenly I saw what Jake was looking at. It was this weird door marked, "Tomlin's Office"

"I haven't seen that before," I said softly.

"Me either."

I put my finger to the letters on the door. I looked at my fingers and they were black. "It's still wet," I said.

"That means this was painted on recently," said Jake.

"I know."

I grabbed my lock picking kit once again and worked my magic to get the door open. When I did I opened the door to a surprise.

"Oh...My...Gosh." I said. Jake's jaw dropped as well.

In front of us we saw this rather cubicle type machine with dates at the top of it. It was black and smooth. Jake and I took a step closer to examine it. There seemed to be a bunch of buttons on it. Jake and I stepped inside the cubicle to examine it closer.

Just then a loud thump came rushing into the door. "Don't touch that!" He yelled.

His voice frightened us and so Jake fell backwards and accidentally hit a button. Just then a bright light came bursting in and we were blinded. The light so bright and the nosies so soft. I grew drowsy and eventually was knocked out.
