OLD man Peabody gathered his family around the burial site of his pine tree-the one that the mysterious UFO ran over a week earlier.
"Let us pray." said Peabody reading into his Bible, "We are gathered here to bid a fond farewell to this pine. Please give it rest..."
Then, a flash of light and out of nowhere was that same ship that looked like a car.
"It's back!" exclaimed Peabody, "Quick, get in the house."
He picked up his shotgun and started shooting. The object then speed out knocking down the other tree.
"My last pine!" said Peabody, "You space bastard. You killed my last pine."
He shot at it hitting the mailbox again.

In the DeLorean, Marty looked out.
"Doc" he said, "Weren't we flying before we came here?"
"We were." said Doc, "It's the destination locater. Sometimes, I'm in the air flying. Then when I change locations I'm on the ground driving. Damn, I've got to get that thing fixed. If this sucker materialize in solid rock..."
He was interrupted by flashes of lights and a roar of thunder. Doc checked the time.
"Hang on, Marty." he said, "Next stop: The clocktower."
Doc activated the hover device and the DeLorean lifted off from the earth.
++++++
Within minutes, the DeLorean was over the roof of the Courthouse. Landing on the rooftop, Doc got out. He was followed by Marty. Marty gave Doc the bag that contained the food and poison. As they approached the lightening rod they looked down to the street. There stood the other Marty there. Somewhere below would stood the other Doc trying to connect the cord to the wire conducting the charge from the lightening that would send Marty back to the future.
"Doc." said the other Marty, "I've got to tell you what happens in the future."
"What?" asked the other Doc's voice.
"I have to tell you what happens in the future." said the other Marty, "On the night I go back in time you get sh..."
The clocktower bell rang. Time was running out. There was only four minutes left. Immediately, Doc produced some wire and tied the bag to the lightening rod. Getting back in the DeLorean they left the roof and floated to the ground.
Meanwhile, the other DeLorean drove off down the street.
Doc and Marty got out producing the 1964 paper reporting the McFly poisoning. The other newspaper would have had the Brown tragedy at the mall.
Taking out the binoculars Doc and Marty viewed the other Doc finally reaching the other connection.
Down the street the other DeLorean was approaching the wire stretching out between the street lamps. The big hook was jutting out from behind the car. Finally the other Doc connected the two cords and hooked the rope on the minute hand of the clock. On the way down the other Doc gave a yell. Reaching the ground he got up and picked up the other cord. As he did, the DeLorean appeared roaring down the street.
Then, it was 10:04 p.m.
The lightening struck. The bag melted, the jar exploded, and the food burned.
The bolt came down the wire. And the other DeLorean disappeared in a flash of light flinging the other Doc off his feet.
Meanwhile, the Doc and Marty that came from 1964 looked at the two newspapers and saw the headlines changing. Where it once read:
McFLY POISONED
now read:
BEATLES A SUCCESS
and on the other newspaper where it once read:
BROWN GUNNED DOWN AT TWIN PINES MALL
now read:
LIBYAN TERRORIST ARRESTED FOR ATTEMPTED MURDER
"Doc." said Marty, "Doc, we did it. Dad's alive. That means everything's back to normal. Everyone knows who I am. Even Jennifer."
Doc looked at the paper that changed to read about the terrorists' arrest and said "Success, mission accomplished."
"That means Einy doesn't get put to sleep. Right Doc?"
"That's right, Marty." said Doc, "It's the ripple effect. The future is saved. Now let's go home."
"That's right, Doc." said Marty, "Let's gear up and go back to the future."
They both got in and spun down the street.

Doc looked at the hook that was attached to the futuristic car dangling from the burning wire. He was still looking up as he started running between the fire trails that the time machine left behind. Thrusting his fist up, he started a victory dance crying out running in the general direction of the Towne Theatre. Then made a U-turn and came back.
Unknown to him another figure came down the street towards the Doc saying "Doc, Doc."
As he was about to open the car door he felt a tap on the shoulder.
As he turned he saw-Marty.
"No." he said.
"Relax, Doc." said Marty, "It's me, me. Marty!"
"No." said Doc, "It can't be! I just sent you back to the future."
"I know you did sent me back to the future." said Marty, "But I'm back. Back from the future."
"Great Scott!" said Doc, and he fainted.
Marty tried to revive Doc saying "Doc, Doc, oh Doc." Then a flash of light could be seen from down the street. And a noise. Marty looked up and exclaimed "What the hell?"

Marty and Jennifer stood at the railroad track among the wreckage of once was once a DeLorean.
"You're right," said Jennifer, "there's not much left."
"Doc's never coming back." said Marty as he knelt down to pick up what was left of an 1885 snapshot of Doc standing next to what was then the new clocktower. "I'm certainly going to miss him, Jen." he said examining the picture.
Then the railroad signal sounded.
The couple looked both ways for a train but there was none.
"What the hell?" exclaimed Marty and then there was a brilliant flash of light accompanied by a sonic boom and windstorm that blew them both off their feet.
Looking up, they saw a train like the one that pushed the DeLorean back in 1885. A window opened to reveal Doc Brown.
"Doc" said Marty.
"Marty." replied Doc.
"Doc, Doc" said Marty as he and Jennifer got up to approach the train.
"Marty" said Doc "it runs on steam." The door open as Doc said "Meet the family." And out came Clara. "Clara you know." said Doc.
"Hi, Marty." said Clara.
"Ma'am" said Marty. "These are our boys" said Doc and two boys came forward. "Jules" he said "and Verne." Doc turn to the boys and said "Boys, this is Marty and Jennifer."
The boys waved at the couple and Jennifer waved back.
"Doc" said Marty, "I thought I'd never see you again."
"You couldn't keep a good scientist down." said Doc, "After all, I had to come back for Einstein and, well, I didn't want to be worried about me." said Doc as Einstein also appeared. "Oh," said Doc, "I brought you a little souvener."
He handed Marty a package. Marty opened it and it was a picture of him and Doc at the new clocktower.
"It's great, Doc." said Marty, "Thanks."
They both shook hands as Jennifer produced a blank piece of paper.
"Doctor Brown." she said, "I brought this note back from the future and now it's erased."
"Of course it's erased." said Doc.
"But what does that mean?" asked Jennifer.
"It means," said Doc, "your future hasn't been written yet. No one has. So make it a good one both of you"
"We will, Doc" said Marty. "Now stand back." said Doc as the door closed.
"Doc" asked Marty, "where are you going now, back to the future?"
"Nope," said Doc, "already been there."
And he waved at the two and the two waved back. The window closed and the train lifted itself from the tracks and flew off into a flash of light.
"Good by, Doc" said Marty to himself.
Then he vanished.
"Marty!" exclaimed Jennifer.
Then another flash of light occurred followed by a sonic boom. Jennifer turned to see a DeLorean appear out of nowhere. The car parked near the truck and the door opened to reveal Doc and Marty.
"Marty," said Jennifer, "You disappeared a minute ago."
"But I'm back." said Marty as the two approached each other and kissed.
Meanwhile, Doc was looking around at the mess around the railroad tracks and said "It's a good thing what happened happened."
Marty looked away from Jennifer and at Doc asking "Why do you ask, Doc?"
"Well look at this." said Doc showing Marty and Jennifer the mess, "We'd better pick this up and put it in your truck before some of the parts fall in the wrong hands."
Realizing that Doc had a point, Marty said "You're the doc, Doc."
Immediately, all three started picking up the mess and putting it in Marty's truck.
After they were done, Doc said "Well, "I've got to go."
"Must you?" asked Marty.
"Yeah", said Doc, "I can't keep Clara waiting. Marty, take that junk to my lab. I'll come back with the train and pick it up."
"Okay, Doc." said Marty as he and Doc embraced.
"Remember", said Doc, "the future is whatever you make it. So make it a good one, both of you."
"We will, Doc." said Marty.
"See you in the future." said Doc.
Marty stared at Doc as he got back into the DeLorean, then he looked at Jennifer, then Doc again and said "You mean the past."
Doc smiled at the couple and said "Exactly." He got in and the car lifted off and flew off in a flash of light as Marty and Jennifer waved at the vehicle.
"Good bye, Doc" said Marty. He looked to see Jennifer still there. "Let's go, Jennifer." he said.
They both got into the truck and drove off to Doc's lab to drop off the wreckage.

Valley, California
Two days had past since that eventful weekend that changed Marty's life forever. With his existence back, he began to suck in normalcy again with his father alive again and married to his mother. In addition, his sister Linda was back as well. And no more Beavis and Butthead which was a relief for Marty. They belong on MTV. he said to himself.
Arriving at the Parker house Marty looked at the front lawn and the porch. He still couldn't believe that three nights ago him and Doc left Jennifer on that porch swing not knowing, at first, that 1985 had altered and he and Doc had to go back to 1955 to retrieve that almanac from Biff and burn it.
Marty rang the doorbell, and Mr. Parker answered it. "Marty!" exclaimed Mr. Parker.
"Is Jennifer in?" asked Marty.
"She sure is." said Mr. Parker, "Come on in."
Upon entering Marty also found it hard to believe that he was being invited in by the same man who kicked him off his property two days ago when Marty lost his existence.
"Marty." said Jennifer as she entered. She was wearing a nice looking dress when she did.
"Jennifer." said Marty, "You look lovely tonight."
"Why, thank you." she said as they both embraced and kissed. Then Jennifer turned to her father and said "Dad, please." and Mr. Parker left.
Then Marty and Jennifer sat down and Marty produced a gift to Jennifer saying "Happy birthday, Jen."
Jennifer opened the gift and said "It's beautiful, Marty. Where did you get it."
"A New York department store", said Marty, "in 1964." Jennifer gave Marty a quizzical stare then remembered the story Marty told her.
"Speaking of 1964", said Jennifer pulling out a poster, "I remember mom and dad telling me about when they went to San Francisco for their honeymoon in 1966. Look at where they went when they were there."
Showing the poster Marty recognized at as a promotional poster for a Beatles concert. Marty read it and remembered this part of the Beatles career.
"This is the Beatles last concert." he said as he read "Candlestick Park". "Wouldn't it be something", he said, "if we both went back there and be a part of that night?" "
Very." said Then Jennifer's dad entered the room.
"Marty", he said, "You have a phone call. It's Doc Brown."
"Doc!" exclaimed Marty as he got up and went into the other room to pick up the phone. He's back to pick up the wreckage of the first DeLoreian. he said to himself.
Then, he realized something.
He blew out the huge amplifier when he plugged in his guitar the other day. If Doc sees that...
I'm in trouble, said Marty to himself, Doc's back and he's in his lab. "Doc", he said picking up the phone, "What's up?"
"Marty", said Doc's voice, "Your mother said you were hear."
"Listen Marty", said Doc, "Can you come over to my place right now, I've got something to show you."
"Right now." asked Marty, "I'm here at Jennifer's house. It's her birthday and..."
"Bring her along." said Doc.
"Why, Doc?" asked Mary.
"Don't ask any more questions", said Doc's voice, "Just come."
And he hung up.
Marty came back into the room asking "Jen, do you wanna go for a ride?"
"Sure Marty." said Jennifer, "Where are we going?"
"Doc's." said Marty, "He's here tonight."
They both got up and left.
++++++
Arriving at Doc's, Marty and Jennifer knocked on the door. Doc greeted them and invited them in. Einstein was there.
"Einy", said Marty as he and Jennifer went over to pet the dog.
"There's someone else." said Doc.
He motioned towards four more men. Marty recognized them as the Beatles.
But this time they had mustaches, all but Paul. John Lennon was now wearing glasses.
"The Beatles." said Marty.
"That's right, Marty." said Doc, "I picked them up from 1967 and brought them here. Oh, they've got something for you."
"They do?" asked Marty.
"That's right." said John giving Marty a record album.
Marty recognized.
"It's the 'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band Album'." he said.
"Look closer." said Doc.
Marty did and in the crowd he saw himself and Doc dressed up in their cowboy outfits.
"It was made especially for us." said Doc. "That's great, Doc." said Marty.
"Excuse us, Doctor Brown." said John, "We've gotta get back. Brian has told us that we're going to make an appearance on TV. Some sort of satellite hookup. And we're representing Britain."
"Oh, of course." said Doc, "can you give me a minute?"
The four nodded affirmatively.
Leaving Jennifer with the Beatles, Doc went into another room with Marty who seized the opportunity by asking "Hey Doc, do you think it's smart to bring people from the past into the future."
"Don't worry, Marty." said Doc, "I've got it under control. I snuck them out of their beds in the middle of the night and before I return them, I'll have them sleep induced as to convince them that their trip here was a dream."
"Nice going, Doc." said Marty.
Then, Doc said "Marty, one more thing...."
"I know, Doc", said Marty, "'Don't hook up to the amplifier, there's a possibility of a short.' I heard that after I did."
"That's not it." said Doc, "I want to ask you are you free Saturday?"
"Yes, Doc." said Marty, "Why?"
"Me, Clara and the kids have decide to come back here to 1985 to stay."
"That's great, Doc." said Marty, "Why?"
"After our return trip home in which I misplaced that jar of poison I felt it was too risky for me and my family to live in the past especially since they didn't exist in the first place." said Doc.
"Okay, Doc." said Marty, "But how are you going to live in here. You've
got a wife and two boys. This place ain't big enough."
"I know, Marty." said Doc, "But I noticed an old abandoned house on Elmdale that we could move into. It's big and could hold a lab and some rooms."
"Doc." said Marty, "It could be rat infested."
"I know." said Doc, "But I've developed a gadget in which makes low buzzing noises. I put it in tonight. So in four days, it will be devoid of rats and mice and we could start cleaning up before the painters come in and spruce up the place."
"Sounds great." said Marty.
"Thank you, Marty." said Doc, "And the next week. We'll start moving in."
"Great." said Marty, "It'll be good to see you again."
"Thanks Marty." said Doc, "See you Saturday."
"See you." said Marty as they both embraced.
After that, they went back into the other room to rejoin the other five.
"Ready to go?" asked Doc to the Beatles.
"Yeah." said the fab four.
Turning to Marty and Jennifer, Doc said "We've got to go. I'll see you two around."
"Gotcha, Doc." said Marty, "See you later."
After saying their good byes, Marty and Jennifer went back to the truck. After they got in, Marty drove the truck down the street and paused.
"Marty." asked Jennifer, "What is it."
Marty first looked at his rear view mirror. Then, he looked behind him saying "Look Jen."
She did. What she saw was a limousine lifting off and flying overhead.
Doc stuck his head out saying "The time circuits still works."
Then it disappeared in a brilliant flash of light leaving behind a pair of fire trails, just like the DeLorean.
+++++++
Marty returned Jennifer home. On their way back, he told Jennifer about Doc's plan to return to 1985 and she seemed happy.
Dropping her off, Marty said "Well, this is good night. Jen."
"It sure is, Marty." said Jennifer, "See you in the morning."
"See you, Jen." said Marty as they both kissed.
Then, Marty drove off leaving Jennifer thinking to herself.
So Doctor Brown, you're coming back. she said to herself, Time machines and all. Going inside, she picked up the 1966 poster thinking It would be wonderful for me to go back in time and see my parents at their honeymoon. And I can't wait to get a hold of one of your time machines to do it.
All of a sudden. The knowledge of time travel had effected Jennifer.
