Hill Valley, California

Saturday, November 12, 1955

8:45 P.M.

Not only was it the night of the Enchantment Under the Sea dance, it was also the night of the Hill Valley lightning storm. Near the clock tower, Y/N, who wore a gray suit with a red neck tie, helped Doc finish up the final touches for the lightning strike. Jenna, who wore a black dress decorated with white spots, was already at the dance with George, who wore a white blazer with black slacks and a bow tie.

    "Are you sure about this storm?" Doc asked Y/N uneasily as they finished getting ready. In Doc's car, which he allowed Y/N to borrow to take Loraine to the dance with, the radio played a weather report saying it was supposed to be a mostly clear evening.

    "Since when can weathermen predict the weather, let alone the future?" Y/N asked as he finished putting the roof on Doc's car.

    "You know, Y/N, I'm gonna be very sad to see you and Jenna both go," Doc admitted as he began taking off his coat. "The two of you have really made a difference in my life. You've given me something to shoot for.

    "Just knowing that I'm gonna be around to see 1985, that I'm gonna succeed in this, that I'm gonna have a chance to travel through time!" Doc continued as he opened the tarp that hid the DeLorean so slightly so he could see the greatest invention he'd ever create.

    Y/N looked at his friend with sorrow. He still had no idea that the Libyan terrorists would kill him the night he and Jenna would go back to 1955. Y/N knew that Doc had to know so he could find a way to prevent it from happening.

    "It's gonna be really hard waiting 30 years before I can talk to you and Jenna about everything that's happened in the past few days," Doc admitted. "I'm really gonna miss you two, Y/N."

    "I guess I'm speaking for Jenna when I say we're gonna miss you too," Y/N admitted as Doc went over to his tool box to get a wrench. "Doc, about the future–"

    "No!" Doc snapped, interrupting his young friend. "Y/N, we've already agreed that having information about the future can be extremely dangerous. Even if your intentions are good, it can backfire drastically. Whatever you've got to tell me, I'll find out through the natural course of time."

    It was then that Y/N had an idea. Sitting at a table in Lou's Cafe, Y/N borrowed a pen with a piece of paper, and wrote what he wanted Doc to know if the scientist wouldn't have been so stubborn.

    "'Dear Dr. Brown,'" Y/N read, "'on the night that Jenna and I go back in time, you will be... shot by terrorists. Please take whatever precautions are necessary to prevent this terrible disaster. Your friend, Y/N.'"

    He then pulled up the envelope, which was labeled, "Do not open until 1985," and placed the letter inside.

    When he walked outside, Y/N saw Doc finishing up the wire as a police officer walked up to him.

    "Evening, Dr. Brown," the officer said. "What's with the wire?"

    "Oh, just a little weather experiment," Doc answered.

    "Oh," the officer said as he began to look underneath the tarp, hiding the time machine. "Whatcha got under here?"

    "No, no!" Doc shouted, startling the officer. "Don't touch that! Some new, specialized weather-sensing equipment."

    "You, uh, got a permit for that?" the officer asked. Doc rolled his eyes as he said he did. Stepping down from his ladder, Doc began to show the officer the papers.
