Author's note Okay, folks, this is it! The story to end all stories (well, not really), the conclusion of the Back to Tomorrow series! Let's do this! Doc Spooky, the 1955 version, sees the DeLorean coming. He knew what he must do what he is going to do and quick. He connects the cable back to the one on the courthouse. He then begins to slide down the rope very fast, yelling as he does so. He lands on the ground hard. The DeLorean is almost up to 88 mph. Eventually when it hits 88, the DeLorean begins its light show again about to starts its time traveling once again. Doc Spooky quickly removes the cable from the branch and rushes over to the one at the lampost. Meanwhile, the clock turns to 10:04...and the lightning hit it hard, right on cue! The electricity from the lightning travels down the cable right to the lamppost just as Doc Spooky connects it in time. He is jolted back on his bottom once more as it does. Soon the DeLorean came under the lamppost, the hook hits the cable...and lightning enters the Time Travecitor and soon the DeLorean disappears, leaving tracks of fire behind! Doc Spooky looks at his happening stunned. The time machine, which he will make in 1985...it worked! He got up and looks around in wonder. When he's positive that the time machine indeed disappeared, he begins to dance and yells in delight. He looks at the Courthouse, the clock now no longer working, with delight. And he knew he got another good reason to be delighted again years later. Tommy, the current one, arriving wishes he could be happy as his friend right about now. But he couldn't because of a whole bunch of problems that happened all because of one greedy mistake. Tommy's new life in the new 1985 was interrupted when Professor Spooky, the current one, returned from the future to take him back there. It turns out that Tommy's own son is going to make a big mistake that will send him to jail and destroy his family forever! Tommy, when he get there, has managed to defeat Dustin, Justin Treene's (Stu's former childhood bully) grandson, and prevent the incident. It was supposed to be simple, right? They were wrong. The two has to make a side trip to picked up Kimi, who was taken home by the police who mistook her for her futue self, at Tommy's future home. They managed to get her (after she fainted upon seeing her future self) and came back to 1985. Unfortunately, it isn't the 1985 they've known! Tommy has brought a sport magazine, one that has the results of very sporting event until the year 2000, intending to use it to fixed his life, which he learned to be a big mess. Spooky advised against it since he didn't intended to use the DeLorean time machine for a gambling spree, only to travelled through time. He threw the magazine in the trash. Unknown to the two, Justin's future self was listening and found out about the time machine. Using this to his advantage, he got the sports magazine, stole the DeLorean, and went back to November 12th, 1955 to give the magazine to his younger self so he will get a chance to be rich. And the results were disasterous. Justin has succeeded and created an alternative 1985, which he seems to ruled with an iron fist. He has turned the courthouse along with the famous clock that was struck by lightning in 1955, into a casino, turned the courthouse square into a war zone, and worst yet, he has married Tommy's mother Didi after killing off Stu! Luckily, Tommy and Spooky found out how Justin got his fortune and, despite being forced to leave Spike (Spooky's dog) and Kimi back in 1985A, went back to 1955. They got the magazine back from Justin despite some problems and Tommy burned the magazine. It was fine except for one more problem: the DeLorean with Spooky still in it got struck by lightning and it disappeared. Tommy thought his old friend was dead until a letter from the scientist has shown otherwise. 'Man, everything happened because of my dumb mistake and I am struck in 1955 again! Well, I've better get thing over with.' thought Tommy as he runs up to his friend who was about to goes back into his car. Tommy begins to yelled out, Doc, doc, doc!" "What?" asked Doc Spooky not turning at first. "Doc!" Doc Spooky finally turns around and yells in horror. Before him is Tommy, the same kid he send back to 1985! He mumbles still in horror. "Doc, doc, calm down. It's me, Tommy!" said Tommy, the present one, as he tries to calm the past version of his friend down. "It can't be! I just send you Back to Tomorrow!" exclaimed Doc Spooky in disbelief as he looks around, wondering if he has done anything wrong. Tommy sighs as he said, "I know. You did send me Back to Tomorrow, Doc, but I'm back. I'm Back from Tomorrow." Doc Spooky looks up and said, "Great Scott!" Then he fainted and fell to the ground. Tommy looks alarmed and tends to him. "Doc? Come on, Doc! Oh great!" groaned Tommy. What is he going to do? What if Doc Spooky dies because of his shock? Then he won't be able to invent the time machine. Then Tommy wouldn't go back to 1955 in the first place and changed his future. Then Justin wouldn't have a reason to changed 1985! And it will cause that major paradox the scientist has warned Tommy about! 'Oh man, this is heavy.' thought Tommy as he continues to try to revive his old friend. |

After failing to get his friend up, Tommy brought Doc Spooky. He has made sure that he went back to the billboard to pick up the hoverboard he has left behind (luckily, the man who gave him the letter whom Tommy has left there was no longer around or noticed). It was still raining as Tommy returned to Spooky's mansion, Doc's home which hasn't been destroyed by a fire yet, with his old friend in tow. Later, as it continues raining outside, the scientist himself is fast asleep on the couch in new clothes while Tommy sat in a chair, using the hoverboard as a footstool. The TV nearby was left on, static right now. Suddenly the static stopped as a TV show begins. "Hey kids! What time it is?" asked an offscreen narrator. "HOWDY DOODY TIME!" cheered the kids. Suddenly Spooky woke up alarmed. "Great Scott!" exclaimed Spooky in shock. He looks at the TV show that is now playing: "Howdy Doody Time". Kids: It's Howdy Doody time, it's Howdy Doody time.. "Howdy Doody time?" asked Spooky puzzled. He checks his watch then turned the TV off. He goes over to a machine which is made as a tape recorder then begins recording. "Date, Sunday, November 13th 1955 7.01am." said Spooky as he records. "Last night's time travel experiment was apparently a complete success. Lightning struck the clock tower at precisely 10.04pm sending the necessary 1.21 gigawatts into the time vehicle, which vanished in a brilliant flash of light leaving a pair of fire trails behind. I therefore assumed that Tommy and the time vehicle were transported forward through time into the year 1985. After that..." Spooky looks confused. He is home, yet he does not recalled what happened afterwards and before he got home, "after that...I can't recall what happened. I don't even remember how I got home! Perhaps the gigawatt discharge coupled with the temporal displacement field generated by the time vehicle caused a disruption of my own brain waves resulting in a condition of temporary amnesia." As Spooky's eyes widen very uneasily, a familiar figure just woke up from the chair, got up, and scratch his head. "Indeed I now recall the moments after the time vehicle disappeared ... into the future..." Spooky gasped, "I saw a vision of Tommy saying he has come back from the future." "Hey Doc?" asked a familiar figure. Doc Spooky went uneasy again as he begins to turned around, "Perhaps this was caused by..." But when he turned around, he screamed at a familiar sight: Tommy Pickles in front of him! He steps backwards from Tommy in a panic but accidentally tripped over the hoverboard and fall onto a nearby piano. As he plays it getting up back and trembling at Tommy, the boy sighs as he comes over. "Calm down, Doc. It's me, Tommy." Tommy told his friend. "No! It can't be! I have send you Back to Tomorrow!" yelled Spooky in disbelief and horror. "I know, I know you send me Back to Tomorrow, but I came Back from Tomorrow! You fainted! I have to bring you home!" "No this can't be!" yelled Spooky as he runs to his bathroom, the same place he has the accident while hanging his family clock that resulted in him coming up with the Time Travecitor, that allows the DeLorean to time travel, in the first place. "This can't be! It doesn't make sense! I refuse to believe that you are here!' Spooky went into the bathroom and close the door. Tommy frowns. He always knew the 1955 version is so stubborn to convince. Still, Tommy has to try in order to get back home. "Doc, it does make sense that I am here! I returned her to 1955 with you, the one from 1985, in order to get a book from Justin that he isn't supposed to have! When we got it back, then you, the you from 1985 that is, were in the DeLorean that got hit by lightning and you got back to 1885!" explained Tommy. "1885?" Spooky opens the bathroom door and glares at Tommy with suspicion. "Very good story, 'future boy'. But I still don't get one thing. If that me from the future is now in the past, how could you known about it?" "You have send me a letter." Tommy said holding up the letter he has got. Spooky sees the letter and gasped upon he recognized his own handwriting. It looks like he's going to faint again. In Doc Spooky's lab, Tommy was cleaning up while Doc Spooky, convinced by Tommy, read his own handwriting. "'Dear Tommy, if what I was hoping is right, you will get this letter once you see the DeLorean get hit by lightning. First off, let me tell you that I am all right. I am living these past 8 months in the year 1885. The lightning bolt you saw hit the DeLorean caused a gigawatt overload that ended up messing the time circuits and destroyed the flying circuits. Sadly, the car will never fly again'. Spooky looked at Tommy, who is throwing a miniature car Spooky used in the clocktower hit by lightning demonstration a while back, in amazement. "It actually flew?" Tommy looked up and smiled, "Well, you put in some sort of hover conversion in the 21st century." "Amazing!" said Spooky excited. The time machine, before it lost the ability, could fly! He can't wait for that. He continued reading the letter, "'In an attempt to make repairs to the time machine, I set myself up as a blacksmith and work on it in secretly. However, since the parts I needed won't be made until 1947, I didn't get far. But I did got best at shoeing horses and fixing wagons'!" Spooky turned smiling. "1885! Incredible! I became a blacksmith in the Old West!" "Pretty heavy, huh?" asked Tommy. Heavy? Spooky frowns, he's not sure what weight has to do with this. But the scientist remembers how Tommy told him that heavy is also a 'slang' used in 1984. He continued reading, "'So you wouldn't ended up being struck like I am, I hid the DeLorean in the Tel Gecko mine place near the old Shoe Top Cemetry which can be found in the map included'." Doc Spooky paused to looked at the map which came with the letter. "'I hope no one finds it before you recovered it in 1955. Inside the time machine, you will find repair instructions. My 1955 counterpart'," Spooky blinks his eyes before he realized. "Oh! That's me. 'should have no problem fixing it so you can return to 1985. When you get back home, destroy the time machine'." Spooky's eyes widen in shock then he looked up at Tommy. "Destroyed it?" The scientist is going to make the most incredible device in the history of mankind only to turned around and destroy it? Tommy played with the mind reader helmet Spooky tried to use on him when they first met (back in 1955 anyway). Tommy looks up and groans, "Long story, huge headache." Spooky figured whatever that story is, he doesn't need to hear it yet. Shame to destroy just an incredible device though. He continued, "One more thing...do not, I repeat do not come to 1885 to get me. I am happy here in 1885 in the fresh air and wide open spaces and the last thing I needed is unnecessary time travel that could end up risking the space time continuum than it already has. Promise me also, that you could take care of Spike for me." Spooky looked at Tommy, playing a game with Spooky's puppy asking, "Spike." "Your dog Spike, whom you own back in 1985." explained Tommy as he moves a piece. Well, that makes sense and a good name for his dog. Here in 1955, Doc Spooky's dog's name is Copernicus. Spooky smiles as he read on, "'As you recall, I left him back in my lab in 1985. I know you can give him a good home. Remember that he must be walked twice a day and he only likes canned dog food. And so, these are my wishes, please respect them and obey them. And so, Tommy, I now bare you farewell and God speed. You have been a good, kind, and loyal friend to me and I will miss our friendship and the difference you made in my life'." Spooky begins to sniff a bit as he continues reading, "'I will treasure our friendship always and will keep your place in my heart. Your friend in time, 'Doc' Thompson Spooky. September 1st 1885'." Spooky begins to cry a bit as Tommy came over. "Wow. I've never knew I would write this so touching." "It's kinda nice, Doc." Tommy said. Spooky's dog Copernicus whinned. Spooky sighs and said, "It's all right, Copernicus, things will be all right." "Aw, it's all my fault that you got struck back there to begin." Tommy said with a groan, then he frowns as he recalls Justin calling him chicken back at the school, "I shouldn't have allow Justin to get on my nerves." "Well, it could be worst. I could have ended up in the Dark Ages." Spooky shuddered as he said, "They would probably have me executed as a heretic or something. Now, let's take a look at that map." Spooky and Tommy goes over to the map and take a look at it. "Hmmm, according to this, the DeLorean is sealed off in this side tunnel. We're going to make a blast if we are to go retrieve it." Spooky concluded. Tommy is nervous. 'Blast? Oh boy." |

An explosion occurred from out of nowhere. Fortunately, it was nowhere near North Californi but at the Shoe Top Cemetery. Doc Spooky has triggered the dynamite causing the entrance to the mine they were looking for to be uncovered. Tommy and Copernicus, with Spooky safely behind some rocks nearby cover their ears. "Darn! I think you disturb the dead with that blast!" yelled Tommy. Laughing, Spooky gives a camera to Tommy saying, "Here! I want to photograph everything!" Inside the mine, the two wearing hardhat with lights and carrying tools and flashlights walked around looking for the DeLorean. Spooky's dog is wearing a hardhat as well. "Amazing. You may not know this but this reminds me of the time I tried to get to the earth's center! I was reading my favorite author Douglas Adams!" (Author's note: I know Douglas Adams probably didn't make books in 1885 but it's my story) "You liked Douglas?" Tommy asked impressed. "Of course! I spent weeks for my expeditions but I didn't go very far, maybe because I was 12 at the time. Douglas Adams had made an effect on my life! I read one of Douglas's books Goodbye and Thanks For All The Fish." Spooky stopped and smiled. "It was then that I discovered from then on to devote my life to science." The three stopped in front of some alcove. Tommy took a look and sees two wooden planks covering it. The boy took a closer look. "Hey, Doc! Check this out!" Tommy exclaimed. Spooky took a look and looks astounded. The initials TLS are on them. "Those are my initals, like in The Earth's Core! It means the DeLorean is hidden behind this wall!" Spooky exclaimed. The two got to work in chopping through the planks and digging through the rocks. After a while of digging, they made their way through into some sort of cave. Inside is a familiar car covered by sheets. "Incredible. It was buried here for 70 years, 2 months, and 13 days!" Spooky exclaimed. The two get to work in fixing the time machine so far. Tommy is looking at some papers that are the 1985 Doc Spooky's instructions. As Tommy speaks, the 1955 version is using a magnifying glass to look at some parts. "'As you can see, the lightning bolt took out the time circuit control microship. The attached sh...sh..." Tommy is having trouble reading the next word. "Schematic." Doc Spooky said. "...schematic diagram will help you make a replacement unit using 1955 parts that will helped restored the time machine to working order." Spooky frowns. "I found this hard to believe that the only reason the time machine isn't working is because of one lousy chip." Spooky sees something on the chip and remarked, "Now I see why. It's made in Japan." Tommy laughs as he said, "Doc, all the cool stuff is made in Japan." Doc Spooky just stared in disbelief, remarking, "Unbelievable." Back outside the mine later, the two are using a tow truck to get the DeLorean onto it. "You know, I've never told people this but I always wanted to be a cowboy when I was little." Doc Spooky said smiling as he loads the car onto the tow truck. "Now knowing that I will spend the rest of my future in the past has made that dream come true! Great place to retired, heh?" Spooky thought of something. "Say, since the me of the future is now in the past, I could be in the history books. You think I should go to the library and looked myself up in the old newspaper archives?" Tommy frowns. This is the same scientist who is trying his best not to know his own future. "Not sure you should. After all, you did say you shouldn't know too much about your own destiny." Tommy pointed out. Spooky nods in agreement. "You're right, Tommy. I know too much already. Better that I not attempt to uncover the circumstances of my own... future." As Spooky gets ready to leave, he calls for his dog. "Copernicus! Come home boy!" When Copernicus did not come, Tommy said, "I'd get him. Copernicus!" Tommy found the little dog sitting, whining sadly in front of a tombstone. "What's wrong, Copernicus? Come on, let's go home." Tommy said as he picks the dog up and get ready to leave. But as he did, his flashlight was showing the writing on the tombstone. Tommy didn't noticed at first. But then, he stopped in sudden shock and took another look. "Oh no." Tommy said in horror. He looks up at Spooky. Should he tell him? Tommy did pointed out that the scientist shouldn't know too much about his own future. But this is his friend he's talking about! He couldn't let this happened! "Doc! Doc!" yelled Tommy horribly. Alarmed, Doc Spooky runs over to his friend, not noticing the tombstone. "What's wrong, Tommy? You looked like you've seen a ghost." said Spooky alarmed. "You aren't far off, Doc." Spooky finally looked at the tombstone. He gasped in horror at the writing... Here Lies Thompson Spooky Died: September 7th, 1885 Erected in eternal memory by his beloved Donna "Check this out." gulped Tommy as he points the flashlight at the writing. "'Died: September 7th, 1885'. That's one week after you wrote the letter! 'Erected in eternal memory by his beloved Donna'." Tommy stood up in disbelief. "Who on Earth is Donna?" "Tommy! Don't stand there!" yelled Doc Spooky shaking in shock. "Oh right!" Tommy said getting off the grave. It's consider disrespect to stand on someone's grave. "Better take a picture!" As Tommy does so, Spooky noticed more writing. "'Shot in the back? By Luthor Treene? Over a matter of 80 dollars?' What kind of future is this?" The two, after learning about this, makes a beeline for the library. One of Spooky's friends worked there so they let them in. The two looked for some information that could helped them. Tommy found something on Luthor Treene. 'Luthor Treene is the most dangerous gunmen who ever roamed. Because of his short temper and his ability to attack like a crazy man, he earned himself the nickname 'Psychopath'. He made some claims that he killed 12 men, not including Indians or Chinamen'." Tommy read. Tommy looks at the picture of Luthor. The guy looks definitely like his descendant, Justin. "Was I mentioned as one of the 12?" Spooky asked as he looked around. "'Unfortunately, no one can be certain if this claim is sure since no one has kept records ever since Treene shot a newspaper editor for writing a bad story about him in 1884'." Tommy looks with a sigh. "Well, that's a reason why we can't find anything." "Look at this!" Spooky bought over some old pictures and points to a photo of a family in one of them. "It's the Martin Pickles family! Relatives of yours?" "Sure, I have a great-grandfather named Martin." said Tommy as he points to a stern-looking man. "He is a good looking guy." As Tommy closes the book, Spooky looks concerned. "Well, we found Pickles but no Spookys!" "Wait, maybe it was all a mistake. Maybe that isn't your tombstone at all! There must be another Thompson Spooky in 1885! Do you got any relatives back then?" Doc Spooky frowns. If only that could be true. "Sadly, no. The Spookys didn't moved to North Californi until 1908. Back them, there were the Von Spooks. My father has to change it during WWI." Tommy searched some more and found a picture. His eyes widen as he sees something in it. "Doc! Look!" Tommy said pointing at the picture. Spooky looks and gasps. It's a picture of the clock, the same one that is now stuck at 10:04, that has just been presented to North Californi in 1885. He gasps because he sees a familiar person posing in front of it. "Great Scott! It's me! It's true! All of it! It is me who goes back there...and get shot." Spooky said with a groan. Tommy's eyes narrowed. "No way, Doc, because once you get the time circuits working as well as put new tires on the DeLorean, I am going back to 1885 and bringing you back home." Doc Spooky looks astounded. Go back to 1885? After his future self's instructions not to? Brave yet risky. Doc Spooky has a feeling that this may not end well. |

Later, on November 16th, 1955, the day of departure to 1885 has arrived. Since it is too risky to do the time travelling in North Californi, Spooky decided on a better place to do it: at a Indian theme drive-in distance from the town. As Spooky is preparing the DeLorean, Tommy is in the restroom changing into the clothes Spooky has picked out for him. "Did the clothes fit?" Spooky called. "The boots didn't. They are tight. Are you sure this stuff would work in 1885?" Tommy called out from the bathroom. "Of course! You got to have seen a Western, right?" Tommy came out of the bathroom wearing the cowboy clothes. He looks ridiculous as he looks more like a rodeo clown than an actual cowboy. "Yeah except Will Smith himself wouldn't get caught dead in clothes like these." Tommy said with a groan looking himself over. Doc Spooky runs over, looking puzzled. "Will who?" "Oh right." Tommy said glancing at some movie posters nearby. Will Smith hasn't started making movies yet. "You haven't heard of him yet." Spooky looks concerned since Tommy still has his shoes on. "Tommy, I think you should put the boots on. You can't wear your futuristic things in 1885. Heck, you shouldn't be wearing them in 1955!" Tommy groans. The last thing he needs is to wear those stiff as heck boots. Still, he decided to humored his friend. "Okay, tell you what. I'd put them on the moment I get there." "Good, then we should set. New gas in the tank, your future clothes are packed, also got some new batteries for the walkie talkies." said the scientist as he puts everything Tommy will want to bring for the trip. "Oh and that floating device?" "Hoverboard." Tommy said nodding taking the hoverboard from Doc Spooky's car and putting it in the DeLorean. He doesn't want to see a cool thing like that get destroyed so he decided to take it with him. He figured it would be cool having something like that in 1985 (as long as no one sees him on it). Tommy looks around. "You sure we should do this here? I mean, it's going to one heck of a walk back to North Californi." "Still, it's the safest plan we got. We can't risk sending you back to a populated area or a spot that is geographically unknown. Why, we don't want you to even hit a tree that once was in the past. No, this whole plan is wide-opened space." Spooky gestures to prove his point. "You should have a bunch of room when you arrived in 1885. Remember where you're going there are no roads." Spooky points in a direction. "If I recall, there should be a cave over there where you could hide the DeLorean in. Time to get the new time circuits ready." Tommy followed Doc Spooky as the scientist gets into the time machine, turning the time circuits on. "Now then, the time circuits are now on. Let's see, I wrote the letter on September 1st, so we shall send you back the next day, September 2nd, 1885, which is a Wednesday, 8:00 AM." Tommy watched as Spooky puts the date in as the scientist continued, "Now then I get shot on Monday on the 7th so that gives you 5 days to find me. Since I am a blacksmith like the letter said, I got to have a shop somewhere." Doc Spooky got out of the DeLorean and then points on ahead. "Now then what you got to do is go right at that screen at 88 miles per hour." Tommy frowns. What is right ahead is a mural of Indians, many which used to belong in the same area Tommy and Spooky are right now years ago. "Uh Doc? If I do that, I will crashed into those Indians." Doc Spooky laughed. "Tommy, you aren't thinking 4th dimensionally! Once you get to 1885 instantly, those Indians won't be around!" "Right." said Tommy, narrowing his eyes, not believing him sort of. Spooky smiled as he pats Tommy on the shoulder. "Well, good luck, for both our sakes. See you in the future." "You mean the past, right?" "Exactly!" Spooky then runs into the building and come out holding a gun, which strangely looks like the same gun he tried to shoot his would-be killers with in 1985, while Tommy got into the DeLorean. The boy then pulled into reverse until he stops at the exit. "Happy trails! Are you ready?" "Ready!" Tommy yelled from the car. Spooky points the gun into the air. "Set?" "Hiyo, silver." Tommy mumbled, hoping nothing could go wrong. Eventually Spooky fires the gun and Tommy races off towards the screen, roaring past the scientist. "Viya con dios!" exclaimed Spooky excited. Tommy looked on ahead very carefully at he is heading towards the Indians mural. Soon when he did 88, the time travelling thing happens once more and he is transported to the year 1885. |

Tommy realized something went wrong when he arrived in 1885 because at that moment, a familiar bunch of people wearing familiar clothes are charging at him on horses. There is only one word to say what they are. "Indians!" yelled Tommy alarmed. Tommy turns the DeLorean and drove off very fast with the Indians on his tail. They must have mistake it for a carriage as they shot arrows at it. The DeLorean went over a cliff, stopping as it landed. As Tommy cringes, he sees something in a side mirror. "The cave!" yelled Tommy seeing the cave Spooky told him to hide the DeLorean. He put the car into reverse and drove backwards into it. And just in time as the Indians and their horses leapt over the cliff near where he landed. To Tommy's puzzlement, none of them stopped to confront him. They just rode off as if someone has been chasing them. Once all the Indians have rode off, Tommy got out of the DeLorean and the cave looking confused. 'What on Earth could they be running from?' thought Tommy. He decided to climbed up the cliff to see. He quickly realized what stupid that was as he sees a bunch of guys wearing more familiar outfits riding horses, one of them yelled, "Charge" while another blows on a trumpet. Tommy has another word to say what they are. "Crud! The cavalry!" exclaimed Tommy as he ducks back into the cave in the nick of time as the cavalry rode past. Like the Indians, they didn't stopped to check the cave out, they just rode off after the Indians. And a good thing too. Tommy is not sure how to explain himself or the dog to them. Tommy sighs as the cavlary rode off, the trumpet noises disappearing into the distance. The boy goes to check the DeLorean. He frowns as he sees that one of the Indians has hit the car's side. Well, time to find Doc. Tommy was thinking this as he goes into the DeLorean for a sec and gets the things he will be needing including the photo of Doc Spooky's gravestone and the very stiff boots. As he closes the DeLorean's doors, Tommy suddenly smell something. A very familiar smell that is making tingling noises. Tommy looked under the DeLorean and frowns upon seeing something familiar pouring out from under the car. "Darn, I broke a fuel line." groaned Tommy. Suddenly Tommy hears a growl. He stood up and gasped. The cave he hid in the DeLorean in belongs to a very big mean looking bear! Tommy yelled in panic as the bear stood on its hind legs and roared angrily. Not wanting to fight something that big, Tommy makes a run for it with the bear chasing him, forgetting to take his hat with him, carrying the boots doing so. The bear chases Tommy out of the caveas he tries to get away. As Tommy gets a bit distance away from the cave, he dropped the boots during the commotion. The bear stops chasing Tommy and begins sniffing the boots, allowing Tommy to escaped. Tommy turned to looked and sees that the bear has stopped chasing him. However, he wasn't paying attention to where he's running to. The result is that he trips over something and yells as he rolls down a hill. At the hill's bottom, Tommy crashed into a fence and went unconscious. Someone has seen him fall as a man came over and slaps Tommy in hopes to revived him. The man himself is an Irish looking man in farmer like clothing, has a mustache, and is wearing a dumb-looking hat. What's interesting about this man is that he has purple hair. The man looked up and yelled towards a log cabin in an Irish looking voice, "Melanie! Get me some water! A man is hurt here!" |

Tommy suddenly woke up groaning, finding himself in a dark room. He has no idea where he is but he felt someone's presence with him. "Mom, is that you?" groaned Tommy. "There, there, now. You have been asleep for 6 hours now." 'Weird. Does mom has an Irish accent?' thought Tommy. He groans as he said, "Man, I have on heck of a nightmare. I dreamt that I was in a Western being chased by Indians and a bear." "Not to worry. You are safe here at the Pickles farm." Tommy's eyes widen in horror. "Pickles farm?" He got up quickly as some light appeared. It happened again! Tommy turned and sees a red-haired woman near his bed in Western like clothes sitting in a chair near the bed. "You're my...you're my..." Tommy looks confused as he realized this: this isn't his mom this time, like in the past or 1985A. This woman is very different to him. "Uh, who are you?" "Name is Pickles. Melanie Pickles." explained the Irish woman. Tommy looks astounded. This is his ancestor from the Wild West! "Pickles. Melanie!" "And that's Mrs. Pickles, don't forget the Mrs!" said Melanie sternly as she got up. "And what might your name be sir?" "Well, it's Pi..." Tommy stops. He remembers that he is in 1885. His ancestors don't need to know that he is their direct descendant. He knew one mistake could caused chaos and maybe alter the timeline. Tommy thought up a name. He came up with one and hopes no one's using it, "Uh...Smith? Will Smith?" Melanie smiles as she said, "You hit your head very hard, Mr. Smith. It isn't too serious but lucky for you Louis found you when he did." "Louis?" "Me husband." Crying is heard in the next room. Melanie speaks as she leaves, "Excuse me, Mr. Smith, while I go tend to little Martin." "Martin." whispered Tommy as she realized whom she meant: his great-grandfather. Tommy got up and heads to the next room (making sure his pants are still on). He sees Melanie holding a little crying baby. Tommy speaks up, "So, is that little Martin?" "Aye. Martin Shawn Pickles, the first of our family to be born here in America." Martin cried some more as his mother comfort him. "It's okay, this here be Mr. Will Smith." Melanie lets Tommy hold little Martin. To her amazement, Martin stops crying as Tommy held him. The little baby felt comfortable in Tommy's arms. He is unaware that he is being held by his great-grandson. "I see he's taking a liking to you, Mr. Smith." said Melanie smiling. Just then, the door to the log cabin opens and in steps Louis, the man who have found Tommy, carrying a big gun and a dead animal. "Melanie, I got supper!" announced Louis. The two has asked Tommy to joined them for supper and he agreed as he didn't have anything to eat for a while. The boy tried his best to avoid revealing where he came from or whom his family is. "You must be pardonin' me for asking but how did you come out here without a horse, boots, or a hat?" asked Louis. "Well, my ca...I meant horse broke down, a bear stole my boots, and I must have forgot my hat somewhere." Tommy said sheepishly. "How silly of you to be forgetting your hat." scowled Melanie as she puts down a cup of water. "Water, Mr. Smith?" "Uh, yeah." said Tommy uncomfortable as he looks at the pink liquid in his cup. He doesn't know what kind of water that is and frankly, he does not want to know. As Tommy eats, he yelps and spits out some sort of silver things. "Oh, be careful. The animal still has some bullets in it." explained Louis. "Thanks." groaned Tommy. "Listen, I may need some help. I am looking for a friend of mine who is a blacksmith in North Californi." "Aye, old man Spooky. Arrived in town at the 1st of January. No one knows who he is or who he came from. Kept to himself." said Louis in thought. "Tell you what, Mr. Smith. I can help ye from your blacksmith friend. Tonight, you can stay in the barn. Then tomorrow, I'd take you as far as the railroad tracks. Heck I can let ye have a hat." Melanie, who is cleaning dishes, groans upon hearing this and crosses herself in a Catholic way. She can tell that it won't end good for 'Will Smith'. "Uh thanks." Tommy said, a bit nervous. Louis hears little Martin beginning to cry again and goes to pick him up, talking baby talk doing so. "Ahh. Woogie Martin. Woogie Martin. Oh yes." He stopped as he turned to Tommy. "You shouldn't have any problems in the barn. I didn't hear any complaints from the pigs." Tommy rolls his eyes as Louis laughs at his own joke. 'So that's how Dil got his love of dumb jokes.' thought Dil. "May I have a word with ye, Louis?" asked Melanie in concern. "Coming. Hold Martin, will ye?" Louis asked Tommy as he gave Martin to Tommy for him to hold. Then Louis and his wfies goes outside of the room to have a talk. "You sure you're not after bringing a curse on this house, taking him in like that? Such a strange young man." Melanie said in concern. She hasn't seen anyone like 'Will Smith' before and she has a weird feeling about him. Louis sighs as he looks back into the previously room. "Aye, but I've just got a feeling about him Melanie. It's the right thing to do. It's important. Look how the baby takes to him. Little Martin never takes to strangers. It's almost as if.....he's connected to us." Louis has no idea how right he was. Meanwhile, Tommy smiles as he looks at his great-grandfather. He has never met his great-grandfather and now...well, this kinda awkward for him. "So you must be my great-grandfather." whispered Tommy so Louis and Melanie won't hear him. "The first Pickles born in America." Suddenly Tommy felt something on his pants and smells something familiar. Tommy looks down and frowns. "And you peed on me." |

The next morning, Tommy's ancestor took the boy as far as the railroad tracks. After that, the boy walked on his own to North Californi. The boy sweats a bit because it's hot out. He also looks ridiculous not only because of his remaining outfit but the hat Louis has gave him. Tommy looks and thinks that he will never get to North Californi, that is until he sees a train station up ahead. He walks up to it and sees a sign nearby labeled "North Californi". "Made it." said Tommy with a sigh as he walks into town. Tommy whistles as he looks at his hometown, only years younger. The town is smaller compared to North Californi back in 1955, 1985, and 2015, but compare to those in the Western movies, it definitely looks like a town found in the Wild West. He looks around. He sees a horse, carriage, etc. seeling place owned by a man named Honest Joe Statler, most likely his family has been in the transportation selling business for years. He passed two more buildings where people are selling, cutting, etc. Also, he sees a man loading manure in a cart, the business owned by Hones, another family business. As he walks down the street, he noticed looks people has given him. Maybe because of the outfit Doc has gave him, or maybe the hat Louis has gave him. Either way, he can tell he looks ridiculous. He looks up and sees a banner advertising the upcoming festival on September 5th, 1885. As he walks down, he stops as he sees something familiar being constructed. It hasn't been finished yet but Tommy knows up it is already: the future courthouse where the clock, which will be struck by lightning and helped him get back to 1985 to begin with, will be at. 'Incredible.' thought Tommy as he kept on staring. He sees the marshall's office and sees a sign over it. It looks like the marshall is out of town, intending to witnessed a crook's hanging. "Hiyah!" Tommy turned and sees a carriage pulled by horses about to run him over! Tommy jumped out of the way in the nick of time as the carriage rushed by, the driver looking at Tommy as he ride past. 'Well, that was intense.' thought Tommy. Then he smells something. He looks and realizes, to his horror, that he has jumped into horse crud. He groans as he walks out of it and goes to a broadwalk to scrape the mess off. He sighs. He notices a saloon nearby. If Tommy's memory of location served him right, the saloon will one day become Lou's Cafe in 1955, a gymnastic studios in 1985, and the Cafe 80s in 2015. Tommy figured it there's some way to find out where Doc is, this is the place. Tommy went into the saloon through the swinging doors and looked around. Compare to what he has seen in the Western movies, the saloon is the actual real thing: a bartender, old geezers playing cards, women in dresses, cowboys, everything. Tommy's presence is noticed by the bartender, who is wiping a glass and three old geezers sitting at a table nearby. "Take a look at what just breezed in the door." said an Old Timer. "Why I didn't know the circus was in town?" joked the second Old Timer. "Looks like he got that shirt off a dead Chinese." said the third Old Timer, who sounds a lot like Mr. Haney of Green Acres. Tommy tries to ignore the comments as he walks up to the bar. The bartender, named Tester, smiles as he said, "What it'll be, stranger?" Tommy tries to think. He knew the drinks he liked like Pepsi, Tab, Diet Coke, etc. has not been invented yet so his options are limited. He thought of one as he said, "Uh...I'd liked some...ice water?" "Ice water?" laughed the first Old Timer along with his pals in amusement and disbelief. Tester looked amused himself as he said, "Well, if you want ice water, drunk your head in the horse trough outside in the Winter! We serve whiskey in here." Tester pours the said liquor in the glass he was wiping and puts it in front of Tommy. Tommy just stares at it. He has never been an alcoholic before and he doesn't planned to now. He decided to get to the point, "Excuse me?" "For what?" asked Tester, not knowing what the words meant to him. "I'm looking for a blacksmith?" "Hey Pickles!" Tommy's eyes widen in shock. 'No! It can't be!' Tommy turned around to see whose speaking. Instead of the man he thought it was, it was coming from a mean looking cowboy sporting a mustache accompliced by 3 gang members. Tommy looks puzzled. There's something familiar about this man... The man continued as he said, "I thought I told you never to come in..." He stops as he sees Tommy fully. He frowns. "Hey, you ain't Louis Pickles. You looked like him though, especially with that dawg ugly hat." Tommy cringes as the man and his henchmen laughed at him. Tommy removes the hat. "You kin to that barber? What's your name, buddy?" demands the man. "Uh, my name is Tom..." Tommy stops, remembering where he was. He decides to use the same name he used to fooled his ancestor and did it in the best way he knows how. "The name is Smith. Will Smith." The man and his gang just stared and laughed at Tommy. "'Will Smith'? That's the stupidest name I have ever heard!" laughed the man. "He got to be the runt of the letter." giggled a gang member stupidly. "Check out these pearly whites!" remarked the second gang member looking at Tommy's teeth. "I ain't seen these teeth that straight that weren't store brought!" The third gang members looks at Tommy's shoes, that he still hasn't replaced and said, "Take a look at them moccasins. What kind of skins is that? The writing...'Neekay'? What kind of talk is that? Injun?" At the bar, Tester was pouring a drink for the newcomer but the man stops him with his gun barrel. The man glares. "Bartender, I am looking for that no-good cheating blacksmith. You've seen him?" asked the man. "Not recently, Mr. Treene." Tester gulped as he backs away. Tommy's eyes widen as he said, "Treene?" Remembering the picture back at the library in 1955, he now realized where he has seen this man before as he said to the man, "You're Psychopath Treene!" Tommy quickly realized he has said something wrong as Tester, the Old Timers, and everyone else, but Luthor (the man) and his gang, runs to hide in fear. Luthor glares angrily at Tommy, who has no idea what he just did. "'Psychopath'? I hate that name! I hate it, you hear me? No one calls me Psychopath! 'Specially not some, duded-up, egg sucking, guttertrash." Before Tommy could protest, Luthor takes a gun out and shoots at Tommy's feet making him jump. Luthor yelled, "Dance, runt!" He fires again, dodging the bullet once more. Luthor fires some more as Tommy dodged and whle the gang laughs like crazy. "Come on! You can do better than that!" Tommy did as Luthor asked...he did a Moonwalk while singing a certain Michael Jackson song. Luthor, his gang, and everyone else in the saloon looks confused as he did so. "Crud!" said an Old Timer in disbelief as he watches. Tommy knew that Luthor's confusion won't last long and he needs a way to distract the criminal so he could escaped. He looks and sees a spitoon nearby. He notices one of the boards is loose. He figured if he jumped on that, he will send the spitoon flying getting everyone's attention long enough for him to escape. Tommy quickly jumps on the board sending the spitoon flying. To his horror, he realized that he has miscalculated as the spitoon went flying...right onto Luthor! The spitoon lands on the criminal, spilling its content all over him. Luthor looks shocked then looks furious as he aims his gun at Tommy. When he tries to fired, all there are is clicks. Luthor's gun is out of ammo! "You'd better run, squirrel." warned one of the Old Timers. "Get him!" yelled Luthor as he and his men charged at Tommy. Tommy climbs over the tables and stuff as well as swinging over the chandelier. Once he lands on the floor, he runs out with Luthor and his goons in pursuit, |

Tommy runs out of the saloon and begins running down the street. He figures that since he could outrunned Justin and Dustin's gangs back in 1955 and 2015, he could do the same here. As Tommy begins running, Luthor and his men run out and got on their horses. Then they went into pursuit. Tommy nearly dodged some ladies during the chase. Tommy continues running and nearly run into a man riding his own horse, slowing his escape down. As Tommy continues, he wonders why Luthor's men hasn't catch up to him. As he turns, he can see that Luthor is swinging a rope in the air like a lasso. Realizing what Luthor is going to do, Tommy tries to run faster. But it was futile as Luthor throws the rope and caught Tommy, knocking him to the ground. As Tommy tries to get back up, Luthor and his men begins dragging the boy across the ground, not scaring what the boy runs (or smacked) right into. As the townspeople watched, Luthor's gang dragged Tommy towards the unfinished courthouse. As they stopped, Tommy knocks down some panels on the unfinished building. He begins to groan as Luthor's gang fire shots into the air. "Hey, since we got ourselves a new courthouse, how about we have ourselves a hanging?" said Luthor with a smirk. Suddenly Tommy was dragged right into the air by Luthor's rope. He gulped. Luthor is intending on hanging him just like in the Wild West! Except he is experiencing it right now! The boy tries to escape but the noose kept getting tighter. Tommy looks like hs is going to black out any second now. He tries his best not to suffocate. "I haven't have a hanging in a long time!" laughed Luthor along with his gang. Suddenly a shot is fired and the rope holding Tommy breaks sending Tommy to the ground. He is dazed but is okay. Luthor and his gang looks confused until... "This can shoot the fleas off a dog's back at 50 yards, Treene! And I am pointing it at your head!" Luthor's gang turned to see a cowboy like figure pointing a big gun right at Luthor. Tommy stood up and gasped. The man may be in a cowboy outfit but thanks to the voice, Tommy can tell who the man is. "Doc." Tommy said, gasping due to the fact that the noose is still around his neck. Fortunately for him, he stops suffocating. Luthor glares at Doc Spooky then signal for him to lower any guns they are holding up. Then Justin's ancestor snarled, "I have a bone to pick with you, blacksmith. You owe me money!" "How so?" Doc Spooky said sarcastically. "How so?" yelled Luthor angrily. "That stupid horse you shoed has tossed his shoe! Since you did the job, I hold you responsible!" "Well you're the one who didn't pay me for the job. You got what you deserved!" The 'blacksmith' snapped. "Wrong! When my horse threw his shoe, I was on the horse and got tossed off! Also, it caused me to break a fine bottle of Ohio Buckeye! So the way I figured, you owe me $5 for the whiskey, and $75 for the horse!" "That's the 80 dollars." yelped Tommy, recalling what is written on Spooky's tombstone. "Well if you still have problems with your horse, at least let me reshoed him!" Spooky explained. "I shot that horse, you idiot!" yelled Luthor angrier. "That's your problem, Treene!" Luthor narrowed his eyes as he said, "No, it's yours. So from now on, I suggested you watch behind you when you walk. Because one of these days you will get a bullet in your back!" Tommy yelped as he remembers that from the tombstone as well. Luthor and his men then rode off on their horses leaving Tommy and Spooky. Tommy stood up and smiles weakly. "Doc!" Spooky sighs in frustration as he walks up to Tommy, "Tommy, I thought I gave strict instructions not to come here but to return straight to 1985." "I know, Doc, I know. But I have to see you." Spooky paused then smiled. "Well, it's good to see you anyway, Tommy." The two friends hugged. Then as the two walked off, Spooky notes Tommy's appearance. "I think when we get to my shop, you should changed clothes. You could get shot wearing stuff like that." "Or hang." groaned Tommy, remembering Luthor's reaction. "What kind of moron dressed you up like that?" Tommy smirked as he claps his hand on Spooky's shoulder. "You did." Spooky looks puzzled, then realized that he is talking about his 1955 self. The two laughed as they walked off. |

The moment the two reached Spooky's workship, the scientist immediately gave his friend some clothes to wear while in the Wild West. Tommy is relief to get out of those stupid things his 1955 version of his friend has given him. He does not wish to hurt his friend's feelings, but Spooky isn't exactly the guy who watch a lot of Westerns. Of course, Spooky would understand that. Spooky's workshop is filled with the stuff he needs for his blacksmith job including an invention or two. As Tommy finished putting on the outfit, Spooky takes a look at a certain photo Tommy insisted he sees through a magnifying glass. And sure enough, the scientist was horrified... "''Shot in the back? By Luthor Treene? Over a matter of 80 dollars?'" exclaimed Spooky horrified at what his future will bring him. He looks up at the calendar. "Great Scott! September 7th is this Monday! Now I wish I did pay him off!" "Ironic, huh?" said Tommy trying to lighten up the mood. Spooky frowns as he reads the rest of the photo. "And who on Earth is this 'Donna'? I don't know anyone named Donna!" "Well, I am not sure. I assumed she must be a girlfriend of yours while you were here." Tommy said smiling, the thought of Spooky having someone who would love him making him a bit amused. The scientist frowns. "Tommy, this is 1885! I can't get involved with any woman here in this timeline! I may cause a disruption in the space-time continuum if I do that! As a scientist, I can't take the risk, especially after all we have been through!" "Thompson!" Spooky turned to the direction of the door and sees a man in mayor-like clothing coming out of a horse and carriage. "Herbert! It's the mayor!" exclaimed Spooky as he came over to the newcomer. "What may I do for you, sir?" "Well, you remember at the town meeting last week how you volunteered to meet the new school teacher when she arrives at the train station?" asked the mayor. "I believe I do remember that." "Well we got word she is coming in tomorrow. Here's the details you need. Thanks for the help." The mayor said as he hands Spooky a piece of paper. "Anytine, Herbert." Spooky said looking at the paper. As the mayor heads back to his carriage, he added, "Oh, and her name is Wakeman. Donna Wakeman." As the mayor said this before he left, Spooky's mouth wide-opened in disbelief and shocked. Tommy smirks as he said, "Well, well. Now we know whose Donna is." Spooky frowns once more as he said, "Tommy, that is impossible. Not to mentioned ridiculous of the fact that I could fall in love in first sight! It's nonsense, you know that!' "Come on, it's not science. When you meet the right girl, it hits you like lightning." laughed Tommy. "Watch what you're saying, Tommy!" yelled Spooky, recalling that a lightning bolt is the same reason he's in 1885 to begin with. "Well, that is how is it with me and Kimi. We couldn't keep our eyes off of each other." Then Tommy sighs as he thought of his girlfriend. She is so beautiful and nice. The moment he first mer her as a baby, he knew she was the girl for him. He was hoping the two of them will have a bright future together. But then Tommy gets concerned as he recalled that he and Spooky left Kimi back in 1985, the 1985 that was destroyed all because of information that fell into the wrong hands! "Geez, I hope she is alright! I still can't believed we just left her on the pouch!" said Tommy in concern. Spooky smiled as he said, "Relax, Tommy. She is fine. Remember, you burn the magazine back in 1955. So when that happened, the timeline should be restored. So when we get back to the real 1985, just go over to her house and wake her up." Suddenly one of Doc's machine begins to make noises. "Oh! Tommy, turn that valve to the right, all the way!" As Tommy did as his friend instructed, the machine begins to rattle. Suddenly a small brown cube came out of a tube right onto a plate Spooky put under there in time. Smiling, Spooky puts the cube into a glass of some liquid. Tommy sees what it is. "Ice tea?" asked Spooky with a smile as he offers. "Nah, no thanks." Tommy said. He then looks the machine over as the scientist drinks his ice tea. "A refrigerator." After he was done, Spooky puts the glass down as he said, "Well, I think Ms. Wakeman should find some other transportation. After all, if I don't meet, I will never fall in love." "Well, if you say so?" Tommy said with a shrug. He knew Doc is just trying to avoid fate, but if he say so... "Good! Now let's get the DeLorean and get to the future!" exclaimed Spooky as he gets his coat on. Oh yeah. Tommy almost forgot. "Oh, almost forgot, Doc. I broke a fuel line upon entry. We better sealed it up and get some gas." Spooky froze and looks concerned. "You mean, you're out of gas?" "Yeah. But I don't see what's the big deal. We still got Mr. Absorber, right?" "Mr. Absorber powers the time circuits and the flux capacitor. But the internal combustion engine runs on ordinary gasoline, it always has. There's not going to be a gas station around here until sometime in the next century. Without gasoline, we can't get the DeLorean up to 88 miles per hour." Spooky explains gravely. Tommy's eyes widen in shock. In his carelessness, he has stranded himself and Spooky in 1885! "So uh, what can we do?" |

The next day, Spooky rented a horse and carriage so he and Tommy could pulled the DeLorean, which they just got from the cave. As the two sat on the roof, the scientist uses the whip in hopes to make the horses go faster while Tommy reads the digital speedometer in order to see the speed the DeLorean's going. "Uh, we're going 24. I think." Tommy said calling out the speed. Spooky frowns, "I don't think even the fastest horse, no matter how many we get, can run more than 30 or 40 miles per hour! We will have to think of something else!' So with that attempt failed, the two brought the DeLorean back to the Doc's workshop. In the workship later, Tommy came in carrying a bottle of liquor and gave it to the scientist. Tommy sat inside the time machine as Spooky pours the whole thing in. "The bartender said that is the strongest stuff they got." explained Tommy. Once Spooky poured the whole thing in, he said, "Okay, try it now!" Tommy tries to start the car. It begins to stalled, something is making noise in the back of it. "Give it more gas!" urged Spooky. Tommy did and suddenly something exploded. Soon something came out of the back breaking off. After they stopped their newest attempt, Spooky goes to check what it is. He frowns. "Darn it. It blew the fuel injection manifold. Strong stuff all right. It'll take me a month to rebuild it." groaned Spooky as he puts the thing down and walks down. "Doc, you don't got a month! You're going to get killed on Monday!" Tommy protested. "I know, I know!" groaned Spooky as he stood near a window which is facing the train station. "I think...maybe we could rolled it down a streep hill!" He frowns again. "No! We will never find a smooth enough surface!" He pauses to think. "Maybe...yes, ice! We could wait until winter when the lake freezes over. Then we..." "We don't have time for that either! Monday, 3 days away, remember?" Tommy yelled in concern. "Okay, okay, let's try this think this logically." Spooky sighs. "We can't get it going under its own power and we can't pulled it." He then have a thought. "Maybe...we could pushed it up to 88 miles per hour. Of course, where can we find something to pushed it." Just then the scientst hears a train whistle. He turns and sees the train, a steam engine, pulling into the station. He grins, having an idea. "That's it!" Spooky exclaimed. "How she can go?" laughed the engineer as he got out of the front part of the train as Spooky and Tommy have a conversion with him. "Why, last I check, I can moved her up to 55! Tank Cargo himself have himself an engine that can go up to 70!" "I see, but is there anyway to get it up to 90?" Tommy asked interested. "Now who on Earth would be in that just of a hurry?" "Oh, he and I have a little bet, that's all." Spooky told the engineer smiling. "But supposed it could be done?" The engineer thought about it, and said, "Well, I suppose if you had a straight stretch of track with a long level grade, and you weren't hauling no cars behind you - and if you could get the fire hot enough, I mean hotter than the blazes of hell and tarnations - well yes, you might be able get her up that fast." "Very good. So when does the next train arrived?" "Monday at 8." The two looked at each other. It is on the deadline but it will have to do. The two quickly goes to the waiting area and found the map of the North Californi area. As they looked at it, the clock for the clocktower arrives as did the other passengers. Of course, they pay neither any attention as they looked at the map. Spooky points to an area and said, "This is perfect! This spur here runs off 3 miles down to Wakeman Ravine. There's a long stretch of track that will existed in 1985. We will use it to pushed the DeLorean with the train." Spooky notes something. "Weird, it said here that the ravine is called Makoshi Ravine. Must be an Indian name for it or something. This is the perfect place for it. Nice long run that goes clear across the bridge over the ravine, you know, over near that Dimmsdale housing development." Tommy frowns as he sees something as well. "One problem: this map said that there is no bridge." |

Sure enough, as if to prove Tommy right, the two were at the bridge which isn't there. And of course, a sign advertise that it will be done by 1887. "Well, we can forget that. We can't wait another year and a half for this to get done." Tommy sighed, as if giving up, as he and his friend goes back to their horses which were waiting nearby. "Tommy! This is still perfect! You aren't thinking 4th dimensionally!" laughed Spooky. "Oh yeah. Now I remember." Tommy said sarcastically, recalling the incident with the Indians. "You see, the bridge will be done by the year 1985, safe and still in use! So if we could get the DeLorean up to 88 miles per hour before we get to the ravine, we should arrived at the point when the bridge is already finished! We will have track under us and we can go safely across the ravine!" "Okay, and the train?" Tommy asked. "It will be a great wreck! Shame no one will be around to see it." Spooky said with a grin. Wreck the train? Tommy wondered the consequences should that happened. He was about to asked his friend something when the two hears someone screaming. The two turned just in time to see a champaigne yellow colored hair woman in a buckboard with two horses that are out of control! Which worst, they are heading to the ravine itself. "Great Scott! Tommy!" yelled Spooky as the two gets on their horses and went after the buckboard. The two have their horses go as fast as they can as the buckboard and its horses continued heading towards the ravine. Spooky, as he got closer to the woman, and yelled "Jump!" The woman didn't need a second invite as she jumps into Spooky's arm. And just in time too. As the horses turned left just as they reached the ravine, the wagon breaks off and went over the edge. It continued falling and then crashed right into the ravine. That coulda been the woman but Spooky didn't think about that right now. As Tommy rode up to the two on Spooky's horse, the woman sighs in relief. "Oh thank you, sir. You saved my..." The woman lifted her hat to show her face. Spooky looks stunned. He couldn't speak as he looks at her. She is beautiful! The woman herself is looking at Spooky, not continuing speaking. After blushing, she continued, "...life." Spooky's wides grow wide. Tommy have seen this scene many times before. And he knew Spooky has finally did something he tried to avoid doing... He fell in love. And surprisingly, the woman has fallen for him. Spooky clears his throat as he said, "Thompson Spooky at your service, Miss..." "Um...it's Wakeman," The woman's hat fell down, then she lifted it back up as she finished, "Donna Wakeman." Tommy looks astounded as he takes the photo of Spooky's tombstone out and looked at it. He then looked at the two. 'Could this be Donna?' thought Tommy. 'Looks likes it. Spooky is looking at her like that.' Still, Donna's last name is starting to sound familiar... "Donna." said Spooky as if recognizing the woman's name. He smiled. "What a beautiful name." A half of hour later, the two escorted Donna and her things up to the cabin where Donna will be staying. It is next to the schoolhouse where Donna will be teaching at. Once they arrived, Tommy and Spooky get Donna things to her porch. "Want me to help you take these inside?" Spooky offered hopefully. Donna smiled as she said, "Oh no, that won't be necessary. You have helped enough." "But it's really no trouble." "Doc, she said she didn't need help. Plus, we got to go." whispered Tommy to his friend. Then, speaking normally, he said to Donna, "Well, Ma'am, I got to say, good luck with your teaching." Spooky sighs sadly as he said, "Donna, I will straighten things out with Mr. Toyota at the buckboard rental. I feel like I am responsible for all this." "Oh, how nice of you, Mr. Spooky." said Donna with a smile. "Thompson. Funny. I am almost glad that that snake has scared my horses. Otherwise, we would never have meant." "You're welcome." Spooky said, smiling like a lovesick schoolboy. "Will I ever see you again?" "Well, sure. You will see lots of me! I got a shop in town. Why, I'm the local scientist. Err, I mean blacksmith." Spooky said trying to correct himself. Donna however caught the scientist part and asked, "Science? What kind of science?" "Oh, I'm a student of all of them!" "Doc, we gotta go." Tommy said whispering once more. "Right. Excuse us, we gotta go." Spooky said reluctantly. The two then turned to leave, the scientist stopped long enough to wave goodbye to Donna for now. As Donna waves back and went inside, the two heroes got back on their horses and rode off. "What do you mean you're gonna be seeing 'lots of her', Doc?" asked Tommy in amusement. "Well, maybe I could see her in passing." Spooky said blushing. Tommy just laughed. "Come on, out with it! She was looking at you like some sort of heroine in love!" Spooky chuckled. "Well, I supposed she did have quite a scare. After all, Ms. Wakeman almost crashed right into the Wakeman Ravine." Spooky looks puzzled for a moment. "'Wakeman Ravine'?" Tommy's eyes widen in shock. Now he remembers where he has heard Donna's last name before! "Crud! I just remember! Wakeman Ravine was named after a school teacher who fell in there a 100 years ago!" exclaimed Tommy. "Wait, '100 years'? That would be this year!" Spooky said alarmed. "Yep. Every kid know that story because there are teachers we wanted to see fell in there." Spooky stops his horse and looks horrified. "Great Scott! Then she was supposed to fall in! And I feared I may have seriously altered history." Tommy is unworried though. "Aw, what's the problem? So they won't named it after he, big deal. Let's get the DeLorean ready and we should be leaving." "Oh, I wish I have never made that time machine. So far, it has caused nothing but disaster." Spooky rode away, Tommy looking confused. Is saving Donna Wakeman a good thing? Or a bad thing? |

The next day at the workshop, the two are working on their plan to return to 1985, as well as the DeLorean itself. As Tommy worked, he is trying out the walkie talkies he bought to 1885 with Spooky, who is working on the tires. "Doc, can you read me?" Tommy said into the walkie talklie. "Loud and clear, Tommy." responded Spooky's voice through the walkie talkie. "Good. Things still work." Once the two are ready, they go to a model Spooky has set up nearby. It is of the DeLorean (which is labeled "time machine"), the train, and various locations. "Now then, let's go over our plan and its layout. Please excuse the crudity of this model..." Tommy interrupts Spooky. "I know, you didn't put it to scale." Tommy smirks as he recalls Spooky saying the same thing back in 1955 when they were trying to get the boy back to 1985. "It's okay." "Now then, tomorrow night on Sunday, we will put the DeLorean on the tracks here," The scientist points to each specific location as he continues, "near the old abandoned silver mine. The switch trackis where the spur runs off into the main line into Wakeman..." Remembering that they saved Donna, plus preferring the Wakeman name, he corrected himself, "I mean Makoshi Ravine. The train will leave the station at 8 AM on Monday morning. We will stop it here, remove the cars from the back, throw the switch-hack and hijack...I mean, borrow the locomotive. Afterwards, we will use it to push the time machine. If my calculations worked out, we should be able to hit 88 miles per hour before we reach the ravine. When, and hopefully, that happens, we will returned to 1985 and goes carefully on the completed bridge across the ravine." Tommy notices a little sign by the model wind-mill and points to it, "What does 'Point of No Return' by the windmill mean?" "That is our failsafe point. If something goes wrong before we get there, we could the train at any time before it gets to the ravine. But once we get by the windmill, we will have no choice but continued as planned." Spooky then gets the electricity ready for the model. "Okay, Tommy, connect this to the positive terminal." Tommy nods as he does so. "Ready, Tommy?" "Ready!" responded Tommy. Soon the train gets going. As it does, Spooky said in a sing-song matter. "Train pulling out of the station! Coming up the switch track! Stop at switch track! Throw switch! Pull up the DeLorean! Pushing the DeLorean up to 88 miles per hour!" Spooky pulls a lever, causing the train and, when it begins to pushed it, the model DeLorean to faster. Quickly Spooky grabs the car as the train ended on the pillow below it. "Good thing nothing caught on fire this time." Suddenly a knock came on the door to the workshop. The two's eyes widen. The last time this happened, it was Tommy's mother. Who could it be this time? As the two get closer to the door, a familiar voice spoke, "Thompson?" Spooky took a look and jumped back, "It's Donna! Cover the DeLorean, quick!" The two scrambled and managed to covered the car. Tommy hide the model of the DeLorean as Donna came in. "Hello." Donna said with a smile. "Ah. Donna. What a surprise." Spooky said smiling back. "Am I disturbing anything?" asked the woman eyeing the model Spooky has set up. "Aw, no. We were doing a model railroad." Donna gave a smile, making Spooky feel funny, as she takes a case out of a bag she is carrying. "Thompson, when my bags were thrown during the incident with the horses, my telescope got damaged in the progress. And since you mentioned your interest in science, I figured you could go see what's wrong with it." Donna blushed as she continued, "Of course, if you want me to pay you..." Spooky blushed back as he said, "Oh no! I wouldn't dream of charging you for this! I will take a look at it." Tommy looks amused as the conversion continued. He can tell Spooky is definitely in love. It's in his eyes. Spooky opens the case and got the telescope. As he puts it to one of his eyes, Donna explains. "I think the lens may be out of alignment, because if you move it this way, the image turns fuzzy, see?" She got closer to Spooky and turns the telescope slightly. "But if you turned it the other way..." Spooky removes the telescope and begins to stare at Donna, who is staring back. He said, "Everything became...clear." Tommy realized that, if left alone for too much, Spooky and Donna will kissed. And when he sees that they're about it, he clears his breath, stopping the moment. Remembering that Tommy is in the room, the two turned from each other blushly. Donna goes back to the door as Spooky hold the telescope smiling the goofiest of smiles you could ever see on a scientist's face. 'Yep! The doc is in love.' thought Tommy in amusement. "I'd have it fixed and get it to you by tonight!" promised Spooky. "But tonight's the town festival. Wouldn't it feel silly working on something like that during an important event? You are going to attend, right?" asked Donna hopefully. "Actually..." Spooky interrupts Tommy quickly. "Of course we will attend! Wouldn't miss it!" Donna smiles. "Well in that case, I will see you tonight, Thompson." She then speaks to Tommy as she begins to leave, "Mr. Smith." "Ma'am." Tommy said in respect. Donna turned back to Spooky. "Thank you for looking after my telescope." "You're welcome." said Doc Spooky with a happy sigh. As Donna left, Spooky stares, the goofiest smile still on his face. Tommy came over and smiled. "Nice telescope." joked Tommy. |

Later that night, the whole town, Tommy and Spooky included, watched as Mayor Herbert introduced the clock that will once day be in the new courthouse. "As mayor of North Californi, it gives me great pleasure to dedicate this clock to the people of the county! May it stand for all time! Okay, tell me when!" exclaimed the mayor. "3...2...1...now!" cheered the townspeople. Soon the mayor starts the clock which is now going as fireworks shoot up into the sky. "Let the fun begin!" As the band plays a song nearby, Spooky smirks. "It's quite fitting you and I are here to see this, Tommy." Tommy knew his friend was right. They were there when the clock got struck by the lightning in 1955 and was stopped forever and now here they are, at its beginning. "Shame I didn't bring my camera. This woulda been cool." Tommy sighed. The two then sees a photographer taking pictures of people who wants to stand in front of the clock. The two looked at each other. Later, the two themselves poses in front of the clock. "Ready, gentlemen." said the photographer as he gets ready to take the picture. "We won't able to show it to anyone after this, Tommy." Spooky pointed out to his friend. Tommy remembers the photo which was in the history books back in 1955 but chose not to bring it up. "Just smile, Doc." The picture of the two is now taken. At the dance, the band swings their instruments as if they're a rock band or something. Soon the music begins as people danced on the dance floor. "This is great music." commented Spooky. "Yeah, it kicks butt!" agreed Tommy. "Shame I didn't bring Kimi with me. She woulda liked this and danced with me to it." Near, a gun selling salesman calls out to the crowd standing near an Old West Diorama. "Step right up, folks, and try out the latest metal from Honest Bob's patent firearms! This model here is the greatest!" Tommy turns to looked at this as his friend wonders off. "This here is the Bob Peacekmaker! Any one of you can have it at the low price of $12!" Spooky looks around and smiles as he sees Donna. She is wearing a beautiful dress. In fact, she looks beautiful out tonight. Spooky walks up to her. Donna smiles as she sees him. "Good evening." Spooky said politely. "Evening." Donna responded back. "You looked...nice tonight." "Thank you." Spooky looks at the dance floor for a second. Then, nervously, he speaks to Donna again, "Say, uh...do you..would you care to...uh..." Donna giggled. She knew what Spooky is trying to asked and said, "I'd loved to." With a smile, Spooky takes Donna out to the dance floor. Tommy, unaware of what his friend is doing, continues watching Honest Bob showing off the gun. He notices Tommy is watching and said, "Say, son. Do you want to give this baby a try?" "Uh, no thanks. Hey, Doc, this..." When Tommy turns, he sees that his friend isn't nearby. He then sees something that made him looked surprised. His friend is now out of the dance floor...dancing with Donna. He looks stumped. "The Doc can dance?" "Hey, son! Son!" Honest Bob shakes Tommy's shoulder, catching his attention. "Son, I said that any baby could handle this baby." He then chuckles. "Don't tell me you're scared of doing something a baby could do." Tommy looks annoyed by that comment. "Hey, I am not scared." "Then come on up and try her out like a man!" said Honest Bob as he takes Tommy to the Old West Diorama. To Tommy, it's like an live-action version of the Wild Gunman he played back in 2015. Honest Bob continued, "Now all you got to do is squeeze the hammer and fired off a round..." Tommy gets ready to fired, but Honest Bob chuckled and tries to guide Tommy's hand into position. "No, no. Right on out there and be real smooth. That's how to do it." Tommy however misfired. This causes Honest Bob to laughed out loud. With a frown, Tommy said, "Let be try that again." "Sure, go ahead." chuckled Honest Bob. But the gun salesman stopped laughing as Tommy aims the gun, shoots, and make a direct aim. He repeats this a few times without missing. Everyone looks impressed, including Honest Bob who couldn't believed what he just said. As Tommy puts the gun down and begins to walk away, Honest Bob stops him and asked, "Say, uh, where did you learn to shoot like that?" Tommy's response? "7-11." Luthor and his gang rode up into town, the leader having a big plan for someone at the festival. In this case, it's Spooky. "You sure the black smith is gonna be here?" asked one of his gang members. "He should be. Everyone's here tonight." snarled Luthor. He is very anxious to find the blacksmith and make him pay for not paying. As the gang rode up, they were stopped by a group of deputies. Their job is to make sure that nothing goes wrong at the festival. In this case... "If you wished to join in the festivals, you will need to give us your firearms." explained Deputy Buddy. Luthor just laughed at this. "Oh, yeah, right. Who's going to make us, tender-foot? You?" Suddenly a sound of someone hammering a gun is heard and a rough voice rang out. "I can." Luthor and his men turned. They see a very strick man with a mustache and in marshall clothing pointing a gun right at Luthor. If Tommy was around, he would noticed the resemblance to the 1955 vice-principal Mr. Stickler, Pangborn's precessor. And for a good reason. "Well, well. Marshall Stickler. Since when did you came back?" asked Luthor, narrowing his eyes. "This morning. If you can't listened to my deputy, then you could listened to this." snapped Marshall Stickler pointing to his gun. "I see you're still using your gun at a man's back routine. Now very tough." "Like you, I take very chance I can get. Now are you gonna check your iron?" Luthor thought about this. He then nods slowly. "Calm down. I was joking with your deputy marshall, weren't we boys?" The other gang members nodded as they, along with Luthor, gave up their weapons to Deputy Buddy and the other deputies. "You will need to hand over your knife too, Luthor." said Deputy Buddy, pointing out Luthor's knife still in his boot. Annoyed by this comment, Luthor takes his knife out and throws it into a nearby table like a dart, making one of the deputies who was sitting behind it looks up startled. Smirking, Luthor turns to Marshall Stickler and said, "I'd smiled if I were you, marshall. This is a party after all." "The only time I would smiled at a party is when I see you at the end of a rope." snapped the marshall. The two glared at each other before the marshall puts his gun down. The deputies step aside, allowing Luthor and his men in. "Have fun." called Deputy Buddy after the departing gang. Nodding, Marshall Stickler turned to a boy on a horse nearby, his own son. "That is how you handled them, son. Never give them what they want and keep discipline at all times. Don't forget that, discipline." explains Marshall Stickler. Stickler's son nods as he said, "I will, pa." Back at the dance floor, Spooky and Donna are dancing to the song "Turkey In The Straw". A Festival Caller calls out as the people continued dancing. Festival Caller: Swing that woman with a one armed swing, Woman to the side do the same old thing! At a table nearby, Tommy was eating some pie when he looks up upon seeing a familiar family coming up to him. "Why, Mr. Smith. Nice to see ya." greeted Tommy's ancestor Louis. "You got yourself some respectable clothes, lad. And a fine hat." Tommy smiles. "Well, the people here said the one you gave me is kinda...ridiculous." "It suits you, Mr. Smith." agreed Melanie who is holding Tommy's great-grandfather Martin in his arms. "Thanks." Tommy finishes eating his pie then sees some writing on the plate he's holding. "Hey, Frisbee! Far out!" As Tommy walks out, his ancestor looks confused at what he just said. "What does he mean by that?" asked Louis as he and his wife walked out. "It is right in front of him." agreed Melanie. "Aye." At the dance floor, Spooky, Donna, and some couples are still dancing as the song is drawing to a close. Festival Caller: Now swing that partner half way 'round, Sashay back to the middle of the set, All the way up to the head of the set, Now bow to the partner, you're through! As the song, the crowd whoops and cheers. |

Luthor and his men walked around trying to find Spooky. One of Luthor's men grabs a liquor bottle from someone and laughs at his protest. Another member soon sees Spooky dancing with Donna on the dance floor. "Hey, there he is, Luthor!" said the gang member pointing. "Where?" demands Luthor. "On the dance floor, dancing with that piece of calico." "So, uh, what are you going to do, boss?" asked the same gang member who stole the man's liquor bottle. Luthor glares, then takes his hat out, taking a small little gun from it. Stickler's deputies has neglected to check his hat and it appears Spooky may pay for that neglect. "All I have to do is bury this thing deep in his back. That way, no one could hear the shot." Luthor said darkly. "Uh, you do realized you only got one bullet in that gun, right?" asked a gang member. Luthor smirked. "One is all I need." As Spooky continues dancing with Donna, they were so enchanted with each other that they didn't noticed a gang of four waiting near a corner that they just danced to. Not until Spooky felt a gun barrel in his back and stops as he hears a familiar chuckle. "Did I tell ya to watch your back, blacksmith?" laughed Luthor. "Luthor! But you're early." protested Spooky at a bad time. If Luthor heard that remark, he ignored it. "What I hold here is a Derringer. When I used it on someone the last time, it took him 2 days to die. Bred to death inside, very painful." Luthor's gang laughs cruelly as he continues. "The way I figure, by suppertime Monday, you'd be dead." Spooky looks frightened. Looks like he's going to die Monday earlier than expected! Of course, Donna doesn't know what's going on as she said, "Excuse me, sir. I don't know who you are but we're dancing." Luthor gave the same look Justin gave Didi back in 1955. "Well, lookie what we have here. Perhaps you could introduce me to the lady, I would like a dance myself." "No!" snapped Spooky as he turned to faced Luthor brave and determined. He isn't about to let the one he has fallen for being forced to dance with a monster like Luthor. "Go ahead and shoot! I won't give you that chance!" Spooky stares as the villain points the gun barrel to Spooky's throat preparing to shoot. "No, no, Thompson! I'd dance with him!" said Donna alarmed, not wishing to see Thompson dead in front of her. "All right! Boys, keep the blacksmith company while I get acquainted with the filly!" cheered Luthor as he pushes Spooky to his gang who held the blacksmith. The gang leader himself then begins to dance with Donna, much to her disgust. Spooky looks very angry as he watches Luthor acting like an idiot as he dances with Donna. The scientist tries to break free but the gang held him tightly. 'So this is how Tommy act during the confrontation with Justin.' thought Spooky. "You know, I don't dance very well when my partner has a gun in his dance." said Donna in precaution as she eyes the gun still in the gangster's hand. "You'd grow to like it, they all do." Luthor chuckles evilly as he glances at the blacksmith. "You know what? Maybe I could take my $80 worth outta her!" Spooky looks horrified at this then tries to get free again to no prevail. Luthor smirks and laughs as he looks at Donna, "Say, maybe you can do something that's worth $80, huh?" Donna only faintly smile. "I think you underestimated me, mister." "Oh really?" Suddenly Donna kicks Luthor in the shins, making him cringes and yelled in pain. Angrily, he pushes Donna to the floor making her yelped. As the music stops and everyone, including Tommy and his ancestors, looks at this, Spooky finally got free from the gang and runs forward. "Stop it! Darn you Treene!" yelled Spooky. Luthor glares as he said, "No, I darn you." He aims his gun at Spooky getting ready to fire. "I darn you...to HECK!" Suddenly a pie plate came from outta nowhere and hits Luthor's gun hand, forcing him to misfire. The gun ended up knocking Spooky's hat off, much to his surprise. Luthor looks around and sees an upset Tommy nearby. The gangster is angry for two reasons. 1) he recognized him from before. And 2) he realized that it was the boy who threw the pie plate. "You!" snarled Luthor angrily at Tommy. "Hey, lighten up, jerk!' snapped Tommy. Luthor, who hasn't heard those kind of words before, looked at his men. They shrugged, confused as he is. He then turned back to Tommy. "Mighty strong words, runt! Perhaps you would like to back them up with more than a pie plate?" demands Luthor. Tommy glares. Of course, he knew that he isn't interested in fighting this crazy man. Besides, he figures that Luthor was trying to shoot Spooky earlier and he just stopped it. That's enough. "Leave my friends alone, okay?" asked Tommy as he turns to leave. "What's wrong, buddy? You yellow?" Tommy stops and frowns after hearing Luthor saying those words to him. In the Wild West, being called yellow, which means being a coward, is worst than being called chicken. Tommy turns and sees Luthor chuckling. "I thought so. Nothing but a yellow-belly." sneered Luthor. Upset at this, Tommy walks up and points at Luthor saying, "No one...calls me yellow." Tommy's ancestors watched this in horror, especially little Martin who squeals in concern. "Then we'd settle this right now!" "Uh, we can't, remember? Marshall Stickler took our guns." pointed out a gang member. Darn. Luthor forgot. He continued, "Like I said, we'd settled this...tomorrow!" "Uh, tomorrow we'd robbing the South Park City Stage." added another gang member. Frowning at these sudden delays at revenge, Luthor turned to his gang and demanded, "What about Monday? Are we doing anything Monday?" The gang checked with each other. The third gang member said quickly, "Monday's fine! You can killed him Monday." Luthor smirks as he turns back to Tommy. "I'd be back here on Monday. We'd settled this in front of the place where we met at: at the Saloon." Tommy scoffs." Right. When? High noon?" Luthor just laughs. Where does this kid thinks he's is? Another town? "High noon, my foot! I preferred to do my killing before breakfast! 7:00 AM!" Luthor exclaimed. Tommy glares. He then smirked and said, "How about 8? I do my killing after breakfast." "Tommy, no!" whispered Spooky in concern. Donna turns to Spooky who just smiles at her. Young Martin, still in his mother's arms, begins to cry. Just then, Marshall Stickler came in holding his gun. "Okay, what's going on here? You causing trouble, Treene?" the marshall demands. Tommy looks at him surprised. He looks just like his descendant Mr. Stickler back in 1955! "Oh, no trouble, marshall. Just a little matter between me and Smith. It doesn't concern the law." Luthor snapped. "However tonight concerns the law. Now break it up! Any more fighting and it's 15 days in the county jail!" snapped the marshall. Then with a rare smile, he puts his gun down and said, "Folks, this is a party! Let's have some fun!" As the marshall left and the trouble dies down for now, the band performs again and the dance continues. Luthor and his men goes up to Tommy. The gang leader snarled, "This is a warning, Smith. You don't show up, I will hunt you down and killed you like a duck." "Uh, killed him like a dog, Luthor." corrected a gang member. 'So this is where Justin gets his habit of getting sayings wrong.' thought Tommy in amusement. Annoyed at his stupidity has been, he yelled out, "Come on, boys! Let these sissies have their party!" As Luthor and his gang left, Spooky goes up to Tommy in concern. "Tommy, are you out of your mind? You can't be serious about meeting Treene, are you?" asked Spooky. Tommy just laughed. "Oh, not really! We will be leaving Monday morning at 8 AM, remember?" "Well, that's true but what if the train's late. Tommy looks surprised. That is one possibility Tommy didn't thought of. "Late?" asked Tommy. Seeing Donna coming, Spooky quickly said, "We'd talked about this later." "Thank you for your bravery, Mr. Smith." said Donna happily. "Uh, you're welcome, ma'am." chuckled Tommy nervously. "If you didn't do what you did, Thompson coulda been shot." "Uh Tommy...err, Will, I'm going to take Donna home." Spooky said quickly. "Right. Goodnight Doc, goodnight, Donna." said Tommy as Spooky and Donna departed. Just then two men came by and pulled Tommy over to them, a bit excited at what Tommy just did. "You sure show him, Mr. Smith! I'm glad someone finally stand up to that son of a jerk!" said one of the men. "You're okay in my book, Mr. Smith! I'd like to buy you a drink!" offered the second man. "Look, I don't need you guys to buy me anything." Tommy said nervously. "Seriously, no big deal!" "Young man, young man!" Tommy turned and sees Honest Bob holding out the Bob Peacemaker and gun belt. "I'd liked you to have this Bob Peacemaker and gun belt, on the house!" "Seriously?" asked Tommy as he takes the gun and the belt. "Sure! I want people to know that the gun that finished off Luthor Treene was a Bob Peacemaker! Help my sales some!" "Okay, thanks." said Tommy about to try the belt off. "Of course, I will have to take it back if you lose." Honest Bob smiles as he walks off. Tommy looks shocked as he said, "Thanks a lot." As he begins to walked away, he is joined by three certain family members who doesn't know he existed in their family. Of course, they aren't happy. "You had him, Mr. Smith! You should have just walked away and nobody would the lest of ya for it." said Louis in disappointment. "It would have been nothing but words, hot air from that buffoon. But now you have him rile ya into playing his game and rules." "Calm down, Louis. I know what I'm doing." said Tommy annoyed. He is getting lectures from his family even in the past. "He reminds me of poor Thomas he did." said Melanie with a sad sigh. "Whose Thomas?" "Me brother." Louis responded grimly. "What?" asked Tommy surprised. He didn't know that there's another Thomas Pickles in his family. Tommy's name is short for Thomas. "You have a brother named Thomas Pickles?" "Had a brother." Louis continued grimly. "Thomas alway let people into provoking him into fighting. He feared people would think him as a coward if he refused. Sadly, in Virginia City, it cost him as he ended up with a knife in his belly in a saloon." Louis sighs as he begins to walked off. "Poor Thomas. Never consider the future he did. God rest his soul." Melanie glares at Tommy with a frown as she said, "I hope you're considering the future, Mr. Smith." As Melanie left, Tommy looks shocked at what he just learned. He then mumbled, "I thought of it all the time." |

As soon as Spooky has bought Donna home, the two decided to stay outside watching the star with Donna's telescope while sitting on their horses. "Now do you see that crater in the middle north-west, the one that's out there all by itself like a starburst?" asked Donna. "Yep." Spooky said nodding. "That's called Copernicus." Donna paused, then giggled. "Look at me! I'm not working and I feel like I'm teaching class!" Spooky laughs. "Go ahead, continue to teach me! I won't mind! I never found lunar geography so great before! You are quitw knowledgeable." "Thanks. When I was 11 and I got sick, I have to stay inside for 3 months. My father got me this telescope and put it next to my bed so I could see everything out the window." Donna smiles. "I wish someday we could travel to the moon like we go across the country on trains." "Oh, we will, though not for another 84 years and not on trains either." said Spooky, seemingly doesn't care that he's revealing the future or so. We'll have space vehicles, capsules to sail off in rockets, devices that create giant explosions, explosions so powerful that they..." "...they break the pull of the Earth's gravity and send their projectile through outer space." Donna concluded. Spooky looks surprised. How did Donna know that? Donna smiles. "Thompson, I've read that book too! You're quoting Douglas Adams's The Restaurant At The End Of The Galaxy!" Donna said happily. "You read Douglas Adams?" asked Spooky astonished. "Read it? I adored it." "So do I! Douglas Adams's Goodbye and Thanks For All The Fish will always be my favorite! When I read it as a little boy, I always wanted to meet the characters and..." Donna laughed, interrupting Spooky. "Oh Thompson, you kidder. It was published 10 years ago! You couldn't have read it like a kid!" Realizing his mistake, the scientist quickly said, "Well, what I meant to say is that when I read it, it makes me feel like a boy." Spooky and Donna laughed. The two looked at each other and smiled warmly. "I have never met someone who has ever read Douglas Adams and liked it." Spooky said. "I have never met a man like you before." Donna said in somewhat a trance. The two leaned forward and kissed each other. They are definitely in love. |
