It's Time. . . .

[clockwork_doc]

Doc's excited. It's a very special day for him. Today, he is going to finally take a step toward realizing his lifelong dream. The car is fully wired, and everything checks out on the preliminary tests. The DeLorean is finally, FINALLY ready for time travel. Granted, Doc is still a little iffy about the time-dilation effect in place on the pocket of reality he now calls home, but he figures that he can at least try a short time trip, just to see if everything truly works. Just to achieve the dream.

Of course, a moment like this must be shared with one's closest friends. Doc promptly sends out a message over the PINpoint to Marty and Alice, asking them to come to his world, before going to the apartment next to his and knocking on Victor's door. "Hey Victor!"

"We're here to help you with anything you may need," Alice says.

"Yes, exactly," Victor agrees. "We'll get it working. Just you wait and see."

Doc smiles. No matter what, it's always good to know he's got real friends. "Thank you." He closes the DeLorean back up. "Come on, let's have something to eat. I feel the need to soothe myself with some hot chocolate."

The group walks away, leaving the DeLorean sitting quietly in the parking lot. Later Doc will come back and make a list of everything that needs to be repaired, ranked from most urgent to least urgent.

But he won't notice that the DeLorean is different even from the one at the end of Part III. There's no signs of it on the outside, but it is different.

After all, it went through a Rift.
