Saturday November 12th 1955
7:30PM

Biff was walking out the back door of his house wearing a black shirt and white tie and grey jacket, he was on his way to drive to the dance, until grandmother yelled at him from inside the house.

Biff!, Biff where are you going now?! yelled Biff's grandma

I told you grandma, I'm going to the dance!! Biff yelled back

As soon as Marty and Chris heard Biff say he was headed to the dance they immediately hopped into the back of Biff's car just before Biff walked in, Biff then into his car, put the almanac on the dashboard and drove out of his driveway and straight to Hill Valley High School to attend the Enchantment Under the Sea Dance.

As Biff drove away from his house he passed by Doc who sported his black coat and brown fedora hat and was riding a bicycle to Biff's home he then rode his bicycle into Biff's driveway and stopped at the entrance of the garage looking around for Marty and Chris.

Marty, Chris!, Marty!, Chris! Doc called out

Doc looked around the entire garage but couldn't find any sign of the two brothers.

Damn!, where are those kids Doc said

Doc then pedaled his bike through looking for Marty and Chris, as he rode through Hill Valley looking for them he suddenly heard Marty's voice on the walkie-talkie so he stopped his bike to answer them

Doc, Doc, come in, come in Doc! Marty said

Marty, Marty come in! Doc answered

Suddenly the other line went dead, as Doc tried calling out to Marty and Chris he then stopped and looked at the sight upon him, he was in the town square aside from familiar surroundings that wasn't what surprised him, what surprised Doc was the there were was a wire attached to the two lampposts which were to a cable at the top of the clock tower, and there was something covered in a giant tarp, he knew this place, and what this was, it was the setting of his experiment to send Marty and Chris back to the future which would take place at 10:04PM later tonight.

Great Scott! said Doc in shock

Doc got hit with a huge wave of nostalgia upon seeing this, he even looked under the tarp at the familiar sight of the DeLorean Time Machine pre-hover conversion, as he looked around the place he suddenly heard the sound of Marty's voice on the walkie-talkie.

Doc, Doc come in said Marty

Marty, Chris what happened to you?, I went to Biff's house and you weren't there Doc asked

You must've just missed us, we're in the back of Biff's car he's on his way to the Enchantment Under the Sea Dance said Chris

Boys, listen we may have to abort this entire plan it's getting much too dangerous! said Doc worriedly

Don't worry, the book is on Biff's dashboard we'll grab it soon as we get to the school said Marty

Marty!, you two must be extremely careful not to run into your other selves said Doc

Our other selves? asked Chris

Yes!, remember?, your mother and father are at that exact same dance with the both of you! Doc reminded them

Right!, this could get heavy Doc said Marty

Marty, Chris whatever happens you must not let your other selves see you, the consequences could be disastrous said Doc warning them

"Excuse me, sir"

Doc then turned around to see his younger self behind him, he very quickly turned back to him trying to avoid eye contact he knew if they looked at each other in the eye it would lead to a time paradox.

Yes you with the hat said 1955 Doc

Who me? said Doc

Yes, be a pal and hand me a 5/8 wrench out of that toolbox? '55 Doc asked

Doc then put the walkie-talkie and turned backwards to the toolbox, since he remembered the experiment he had conducted 30 years ago today, he knew he didn't use a 5/8 wrench, he used a much smaller one

5/8 uh don't you mean 3/4? Doc asked nervously

Why you're right! said '55 Doc

I presume you're conducting some sort of weather experiment said Doc as he handed his other self still avoiding eye contact

That's right, how did you know that? asked '55 Doc

Oh, I happened to have had a little experience in this area Doc answered

Yes, well I'm hoping to see some lightning tonight although the weatherman said there's not gonna be any rain said '55 Doc

Oh there's going to plenty of rain alright, wind, thunder, lightning, it's gonna be one hell of a storm said Doc to his other self

Well thanks nice talking to you, maybe we'll bump into each other sometime again in the future said '55 Doc as he worked on his experiment

Or in the past said Doc

Doc then got on his bike and pedaled away, as rode off 1955 Doc kept working on his "weather experiment" he looked at the man pedalling away he thought something about him seemed familiar but he couldn't pinpoint what it was, in the end he thought he was just some nice guy who had a nice chat with him.
