Getting to Know You

February 1, 1986

12:45 p.m.

Hill Valley, California

Doc's POV

I was getting the De Lorean ready for my solo trip to Dimmsdale, California. The trip that my family and I had made after we had returned from the Pokémon world was a disaster. Since Marty and Annie were in school and Clara was taking care of the boys, who had fallen ill, I was going to go on my own. It felt weird going alone but it had to be done. I decided to see the future of Dimmsdale, to see what Terrance life turns out to be. I punched in the date, time, and location. The time circuits read: 'February 1, 2001 at 2:45, Dimmsdale, California'.

I knew that Terrance would have a son named Timothy "Timmy" Tiberius Turner, who we saved from the time stream when Marty and Annie's secret was discovered. Timmy was fifteen at the time, so I knew that once I took this trip, it would be the first time we officially met. I fired up the De Lorean and got it up to 88 MPH. Those three sonic booms that I had grown to know and love took me into the future of Dimmsdale.

I had arrived in the middle of a rainstorm. It was an awful day. I eventually got to a house. I heard some evil cackling and a scream of terror coming from the house. 'Who the hell is evil cackling like that? And who the hell is screaming in terror,' I thought. I busted into the house and saw a young fifteen year old girl; short red hair back in a ponytail, green eyes, and a green blouse with her midriff was showing, black jeans, and black shoes. She was tormenting a young boy, about nine years old, messy brown hair, blue eyes, bucked teeth, pink baseball cap, pink shirt, blue jeans, and blue shoes.

But, more importantly, he was wearing a straight jacket! 'The poor kid,' I thought.

I yelled, "What the hell are you doing to that boy?"

She gave me a cold stare and answered, "And just who do you think you are?"

The young boy told me, "No, get out while you have a chance! It's better this way..."

My heart sank for this young boy as I shook my head at the young boy and responded, "Everyone deserves to live. I should know. Now, step away from him!"

The young girl rolled her eyes and asked, "Or what gramps?"

My blood started to boil as I answered, "Or you'll face the rath of Doctor Emmet Brown! I'm not known in Hill Valley for being 'crazy, old Doctor Brown' for nothing!"

The young girl got my message and slinked off. I got the young boy out of the straight jacket she had him in.

He finally asked, "Why did you have to go and do that? At least with me dead, everyone will be better off."

I shot this kid a look and asked, "Where in hell did you get that idea from?"

The young boy scoffed and answered, "From everyone. Look around you, Doctor Brown. Do you see anyone that loves me? I'm better off dead than I am alive. Maybe I should just do everyone a favor and just end my life."

My heart sank even more. This poor kid felt so neglected and so un-loved.

I told him, "I felt the same way before I met Marty, Annie, and Clara. Listen...what's your name, sport?"

He turned to me and answered, "Timmy. My name is Timothy 'Timmy' Tiberius Turner."

My heart now skipped a beat. This was fifteen year old Timmy's nine year old version of himself! Great Scott and he didn't know who I was! We didn't meet yet! We did now. This was our first official meeting.

I turned to him and asked, "Do you know who I am?"

Timmy answered, "Yeah, Doctor Emmet Brown."

I smiled and responded, "Yes. But, to you I'm Uncle Emmet. Actually, great uncle but let's just keep it at uncle."

Timmy perked up and asked, "No way. Are you really my uncle?"

I smiled and answered, "Of course, I am Timmy. Of course I am."
