A Boy in Time

Timmy's POV

I was raking up leaves on my parent's front lawn. I got them into a pile. I wanted to jump in them so badly since I was so tired. My name is Timothy Tiberius Turner. But everyone calls me Timmy. I have two fairy godparents named Cosmo and Wanda that I couldn't tell anyone about. Speaking of my fairy godparents, I couldn't have Cosmo and Wanda help me with raking up the leaves, seeing that they were called into Fairy World for an inspection by the fairy commander, Jorgen Von Strangle. Just when I thought I was going to have a boring day, three loud sonic booms captured my attention. I looked up and saw a De Lorean pull into my parent's driveway.

Since my parents weren't at home, I had to be the one to investigate. I went over to the De Lorean and an old man, about sixty, 6'1", long silvery hair, brown eyes, wearing a white lab coat, blue undershirt, brown jeans, and brown shoes. Just who was he?

He came over to me and asked, "Uh, is this the home of Terrance Turner?"

I nodded and asked, "What do you want with my father?"

He perked up and said, "Father?" I nodded to confirm what I had said and he said, "Great Scott. Then, you must be…."

I responded, "I'm Timmy Turner." I asked, "And you are?"

He answered, "Doctor Emmet Lathrop Brown, at your service. But, to you, I'm your great Uncle Emmet."

I smiled and came over to the De Lorean and said, "Nice car you've got here, Uncle Emmet."

Uncle Emmet smiled and told me, "It's no ordinary car, Timmy. It's a time machine."

My eyes bugged out and I blurted out, "Are you serious?"

Uncle Emmet nodded and responded, "Very serious." He kneeled down to me and asked, "Would you like to go a long with me on a trip to the future?"

My eyes widen and I answered, excited, "You bet, Uncle Emmet!"

But, then I had just realized that…I couldn't leave without my fairies...

Just then, Uncle Emmet noticed and said, "I think you best tell me about yourself first before we go to the future."

I nodded in agreement and lead my great uncle into my house. I was glad that Vicky wasn't watching me. She would just torture me until the cows came home. I told my great uncle everything, minus Cosmo and Wanda.

Uncle Emmet added, "Wow that is so depressing. No child should have to go through that, Timmy."

I nodded in agreement and said, "I agree." I then asked, "What about you?"

He smiled and started to tell me about his time traveling adventures with Marty and Annie back in 1955 and in 1985. I was awed.

Uncle Emmet asked, "Quite the story, huh?"

I answered, "Sure is..." I just remember that I had left my computer on. I got off of the couch and told my uncle, "I left my computer on in my room."

Uncle Emmet asked, "What the hell is a computer?"

Dad had already pre-warned me that Uncle Emmet had a sharp tongue.

I answered, the best I could, "Well, it is an advanced typewriter."

Uncle Emmet replied, "Fascinating."

I told him, "I'll be right back."

I went upstairs to my room and turned off my computer. Just then, Cosmo 'poofed' in.

He said, "Whew!" I quickly hid. No idea why but I just did. Cosmo added, "I am just glad that time travelers can know about us now. But, Jorgen sure is crazy about following the rules. Don't do this and don't do that. Sheesh."

I couldn't believe my luck! And since Uncle Emmet was a time traveler, I could tell him about Cosmo and Wanda and not worry about them being taken away from me! 'Sweet,' I thought to myself.

Cosmo scratched his head and added, "Then again, that's jar head for you."

With that, he 'poofed' back to Fairy World without even noticing me. I smiled at his stupidity and headed back downstairs. I started to run to my great uncle. I had to tell him my news!

I said, "Uncle Emmet, I have something to tell you!"

Finally telling someone my secret felt great and Uncle Emmet smiled at my happiness.

Uncle Emmet told me, "Timmy, I think that's wonderful but how come you are telling me this?"

I answered, "I wasn't sure until I overheard Cosmo talking about it. Now, I'm totally psyched to go with you to any when you want! Besides, what could possibly go wrong?"

Uncle Emmet smiled even more and told me, "Well, then. What the hell are we waiting for?"

I smiled as my great uncle took the lead. We got in the De Lorean and Uncle Emmet flipped on the time circuits.

He stated, "Timmy, prepare yourself for time dispersal."

At those words, Uncle Emmet back out and got the De Lorean up to 88 MPH. Three loud sonic booms took us some when in time.
