Scott is sitting under the statue of Gerald Strickland in the yard of the high school. Kids whizz past on hoverboards. Eric Wilson comes along to meet him.

ERIC

Yo, McFly. How's it hanging? Why didn't you meet me on the way to school this morning?

SCOTT

Oh, hi Eric. Sorry I had things on my mind.

ERIC

What are all these rumours about your brother flying round? Something to do with Griff Tannen...

SCOTT

Never mind, I'll tell you later.

ERIC

Anyway, I thought you'd disappeared through time. How did you get on with hunting down your time machine?

Scott gives Eric a dirty look.

ERIC

Hey, lighten up dude. It was a joke. I thought it was funny the way you actually thought you'd find a time machine. How did you get on with that Suzy girl? Are you still at each other's throats?

SCOTT

We're fine.

ERIC

Speak of the devil... Here she is.

Suzy arrives at school. She looks nervously at the strange futuristic looking things around her. Scott rushes over.

SCOTT

Suzy! Over here! Are you okay?

SUZY

This is really weird. I woke up this morning expecting everything to be back to normal, but it's all still so... space age! How did you get on at home?

SCOTT

Not good. Mom and Dad are really freaked out about Marty's arrest. Marlene is in pieces. I don't know what to do. Griff's father is mayor of Hill Valley. This is all so wrong. I'm just glad it's not all war torn like when Old Biff Tannen had the sports almanac. If only I could get Marty out of gaol. I think this alternate reality could be okay when we get used to it.

SUZY

I don't like it. It feels wrong. I got home last night to find everything is voice activated and things were floating around the house. My parents were just acting as if were all normal. It's freaking me out.

Suzy starts to cry.

SCOTT

Hey Suzy...

Scott puts his arm around Suzy to comfort her. Eric comes over.

ERIC

Woah McFly! You're a fast mover.

Scott pulls his arm back. Eric sees Suzy is upset.

ERIC

Hey what's up with her?

SUZY

It's nothing Eric.

Suzy whispers to Scott.

SUZY

I'll see you in the library at recess Scott.

Suzy walks away.

SCOTT

She's got personal problems.

ERIC

Since when did you two become close enough to talk about personal stuff? Only yesterday she hated you.

SCOTT

A lot's happened since yesterday.

ERIC

Like what?

SCOTT

You wouldn't believe me if I told you.

A bell sounds and the two rush into class.

In the school library at break time, Scott and Suzy get to a futuristic looking computer.

SCOTT

I can't believe these computers. I haven't a clue how to work them.

SUZY

I thought the same, but when I used one in class, it was as if I knew how to use it. Like I lived out this timeline as well as the one we came from.

SCOTT

What do you mean?

SUZY

Haven't you felt anything yet? I'm getting double memories of my past. I remember all the stuff I remember before, but now I'm beginning to sort of remember growing up with cars flying around and stuff like that. Does that make sense?

SCOTT

I haven't thought of anything yet. Maybe it hasn't caught up with me yet. Like jet-lag or something. But now you mention it, my hoverboard at home looked less daunting to ride this morning than it did last night. I reckon I could pull off a good moves on it.

SUZY

For goodness sake Scott, you and your skateboard...

SCOTT

It's a hoverboard now.

SUZY

Whatever... Let's get onto a history web page and see what's been going on.

Suzy manages to activate the futuristic computer and begins typing.

SUZY

Hill... Valley... history... Okay here we are here's a place to start.

SCOTT

Look, click on that! Kid Tannen legacy.

SUZY

Okay. Here we go. "Irving 'Kid' Tannen, the legend of Hill Valley. The famous Tannen family have been in Hill Valley for many years. Records show of a Buford 'Mad Dog' Tannen who lived the latter part of the nineteenth century..."

SCOTT

Further down look!

Scott points further down at the writing on the screen.

SUZY

"The family lived humbly until early 1926 when 25-year-old Irving 'Kid' Tannen predicted a hurricane close to Hill Valley weeks before the event happened. The young Tannen man's talent for predicting future events was dismissed as a fluke at this point in time, but when he started predicting future births and deaths of Hill Valley residents, as well as many other events, people started to take note. Kid Tannen's 'sixth sense' made him a very wealthy man with people from all over California paying him thousands of dollars to find out about their futures.

SCOTT

Then he did get the iPhone. We've got to go back in time to 1925 and get it back.

SUZY

How do you propose to do that? The DeLorean's gone back to 1985.

Suzy hits the print button and a hard-copy of the document starts to print.

SCOTT

There's got to be a way. I can't let that bunch of no-good Tannens take credit for nicking my phone. If we don't do something Marty's gonna rot in prison. And Marlene too if it doesn't get sorted out.

Suzy gives Scott the printout and they look at each other in dismay.

That evening, Scott arrives home to find Marty Senior and Jennifer rushing out of the house in a hurry.

MARTY SENIOR

There you are. I've been trying to get hold of you. Why aren't you wearing your commpiece?

SCOTT

My what?

Mary replies sarcastically.

MARTY SENIOR

Your commpiece Scott; you know; the device we wear so we can get in touch with each other.

SCOTT

Huh? What's the emergency?

Jennifer lets out a sob.

JENNIFER

It's your sister. She's been caught trying to bust Marty out of gaol. She's in custody at the station.

MARTY SENIOR

We're going down there now to pick her up. She's been let off with a caution.

JENNIFER

It could've been a lot worse. We'll be back as soon as we can.

Scott looks stunned.

SCOTT

Okay.

Marty Senior and Jennifer head to the car. Scott goes inside.

Inside the McFly household, Scott looks through the curtain and when his parents' car leaves, he rushes to their room.

Scott boots his dad's computer up and looks up his "Back to the Future" story.

SCOTT

Come on, come on...

After a while of searching Scott finds something and starts reading.

SCOTT

Eureka. This is it. Monday 26th October 2015. 2.15am. Lyon Estate. Of course! When Doc first comes to the future from 1985. That's Sunday night... three nights away. I'm going to get Doc's car and go back to 1925 and sort this mess out once and for all!
