The Hell Month

November 25, 1989

2:45 p.m.

Doc's POV

Annie was visiting Clara, Jules, Verne, and me and she was freaking. She told me, "Doc, I got some news. Dad wants me to visit him in Tokyo!" My family and I blurted out, "What?" I asked, "Annie, are you sure?" Annie waved a letter in front of my face and answered, "Read it and weep, Doc." I took the letter and read it aloud, 'Dear Annie, I would very much like to spend some time with you seeing that I have some news to tell you. If you could kindly come to Tokyo soon and spend the month here, I will tell you my news and I'll also spend some time with you. I have arranged everything for you to come here on November 30, 1989. –Dad.' Annie told me, "Doc, I think he wants something." I nodded, returned the letter to her, and said, "I agree." Annie looked somber and asked, "Doc, what the hell am I going to tell Marty?"

I scratched my head and before I could suggest anything, Marty came in. Annie spun around and sighed. Marty saw that she sighed and asked, "Annie, are you okay?" Annie gave him the letter and Marty read it. His face fell and he blurted out, "He can't be serious! That only gives you five days to get ready!" Annie's face fell now and she asked, "Wait, you want me to go?" Marty shook his head and answered, "Hell no but I'm sure going to miss you. You need to be with your dad right now."

Annie looked down at her shoes and I came over to her, putting my hand on her shoulder. I told her, "Take this chance while you have it, Annie." Annie looked up at me and smiled. She told me, "I will, Doc." Marty seemed pretty bummed but he knew that Annie wanted this. He knew that she wanted to her father. Annie perked up and said, "Ah, damn! I got to get packed!" With that, she ran out with a tear in her eye. Marty turned to me and said, "I know that she wants to do this, Doc but why did it have to fall on Christmas?" Marty had tears in his eyes and I sighed in sadness.

I didn't want Marty to cry but he did love Annie. The worst part of it was, they were never that far apart. I hugged him until he eventually stopped crying. Marty mumbled, "What I am going to do for the entire month she is gone?" Clara came over to us and responded, "Marty, I think it is best if your parents and Annie's father learn the truth about the time machine." Marty sighed.

He knew he had to do it eventually. I rubbed his shoulder and said, "Clara is right, it is best." Marty nodded and responded, "I'll tell them once Annie leaves on the 30th. As for Annie, I best let her know about this right away." With that, Marty left. As he left, I was reminded of when I first met him back in 1980 officially.

-Flashback-

Doc: (Marty comes in. He turns to Marty.) Ah, you must be my next appointment.

Marty: [He is twelve years old.] Sure am. You must be Doctor Brown, right?

Doc: Indeed and you're George's youngest son, Marty correct?

Marty: That's me.

Doc: Tell me Marty, how much do you know about science?

Marty: Not much, I'm afraid. I'm flunking science.

Doc: Tell you what. I'll help you in science if you become my assistant.

Marty: Sure thing, Doctor Brown!

Doc: (He smiles.) You can call me Doc.

Marty: (He smiles too.) Great! This is going to be awesome!

(Doc giggles under his breath.)

-End of Flashback-

I sighed as I went back to my family, wishing Marty the best of luck, in my thoughts, with telling Annie about telling her father about the time machine. 'Good luck to the both of you.' I thought to myself.
