Chapter 19: Remembrance

Your POV 

We watched as she was trying to get away from Danny. I walked over to the trip wire and used it to make the noise that sent her through time. "Here they come! The lights! I'm being transported!" she said before she got out of the car slowly. She told us about seeing Hill Valley in the past but it's so much smaller. She turned around to see her Great Grandpa that was the sheriff of the time. We looked over to see a cactus. I rose a brow before we walked around. I noticed that there was a picture of Marshal Strickland, her grandfather in the window. I hummed before Marty watched me grab an old mop and take the bottom of it off and stick that and the had on the cactus. 

She screeched. "Ah!Grandfather! How well you look! How well everything looks!" she said as she walked over to the cactus. "How does everything look? Tell me" Doc said as he looked at her. "It's a bit rustic to be sure but all the buildings are sturdy and well kept. And the young people of Hill Valley! They're so virtuous and upright." she said as she walked around. "They're so much better than the hooligans of the twentieth century," she said. I looked at Doc and shrugged. "They haven't yet fallen prey to the vices of booze and debauchery! they are still in the state of innocence. I think I could learn to like living here! but who's this?!" she asked. 

I looked at her for a moment before I blinked a little, she's lost her mind completely. "Who?" Doc asked and I glanced to Marty who was as confused as I was. "This big lout swaggering up the street, lips curled in an insolent sneer! He's a newcomer to Hill Valley. Beauregard... Beauregard..." she said. 

"Tannen," I said and she nodded as she looked at me. "Yes!" she sighed. "Look at him.. acting like a bigshot, throwing his money around! Stolen money, no doubt! Why can't they see through him? That two-bit phony!" she said before she looked over to the outhouse that was standing in the yard. "And now his plan becomes clear! He's bought a plot of land in town! He's going to put up a... a..." Doc looked at her "A what?" he asked. She shrugged "I don't know, it's something I don't like. Something evil!" she said and I looked at her. "A Saloon?" I asked. 

Marty grabbed the burnt saloon sign from the ground and stuck it on the outhouse as she saw it. She grabbed a stick and lit it in the clay oven that she had in her yard before she walked over. "No, no you're doing it all wrong!" she grabbed the kerosene. "First we have to apply the kerosene liberally to the building site, and then watch" she said before she threw the torch at the outhouse making it burst into flames.

She looked at it "The devil's handiwork, burning in the flames of righteousness! Burn sucker burn!" She said as she laughed evilly. Doc looked at us. "She was never this passionate when we were dating," he said. "Uh oh. don't look, this wasn't supposed to happen," she said before Doc moved closer to her. "The fire is spreading to the other buildings of Hill Valley isn't it?" he asked. 

She nodded slowly "I never meant for this to happen!" she said. "But it did happen and you've been repressing these memories ever since then" he said. She nodded "I'm a hooligan!" she said before she went inside crying. Doc and Marty looked at each other. "Did I lay it on too thick?" Doc asked and I shrugged. She came back out with a newspaper on what happened. Doc grabbed it and read it over before he got the date that it happened. "2:00 am...July 17th 1876" he said. He put the newspaper away and looked at us before we heard the cock of a gun. We turned around to see Edna holding a shotgun. "Of course, I'm not the real criminal, now am I, Mr. Sagan." she said before we looked at her. 

Now she thinks that we made her steal the car, burn down Hill Valley and now on behalf of Hill Valley I sentence you both to-" she was cut off as Willie came out of no where. "I wouldn't shoot those three" he said. "You! How much have you heard?" she asked. "Enough for a whole month worth of headlines in the Haysville Herald, two if you shoot those three" he said. "I could shoot you two you know"she said. 

Willie smirked and looked at her. "But you won't. Because that would beagainst the law, and you never break the law right, Mary?" he asked. He grabbed the gun from her and looked at us. "This would be your cue to skeedadle." he said and Marty and I took off before  Doc waved. "Much obligied." he said before he caught up with us. We went to get the DeLorean and jumped back to Monday July 17th 1876 and sighed deeply. 

"Now, let's stop Edna from burning down the saloon and all of Hill Valley with it." I said and Marty nodded "Then we can go home?" he asked. Doc nodded "Then we can go home" he said. I smiled with relief. "Thank the time gods"I said and we went to go find Edna. We decided to split up and find Edna. Doc went around and we went to the other side of the saloon. We got inside to see Edna dousing the entire place with kerosene. Doc saw her and looked at them. Edna turned around and looked at her.

"Mr.Sagan? What are you doing here?" she asked. Doc was going to say something but Tannen woke up. He walked inside. "I can ask you the same thing Miss Pickford." he said. She hummed as she looked at him. "Stopping you and this infernal saloon before it corrupts Hill
Valley!" she said. Tannen grabbed his gun and loaded it. 

"I don't like shootin' women, but no one comes between Beauregard B. Tannen and his livelihood!" he said before he pointed the gun at the two of them. Doc tried to reason with him. "Tannen, stop! If you shoot her, she'll drop the torch and this whole place'll go up!" Edna moved to drop the torch. "Edna stop! If you drop that torch, he'll shoot us!" he said. 

Marty and I were at the top of the building, looking from where the chandelier was handing. I looked over to Marty. "If we lose him now because he gets himself shot, I'll never forgive him" I said and Marty nodded. "You and me both" he said. "Looks we're at something of a standoff, here Tannen" Edna said with a smirk. I looked to Doc as he looked up at us. "I don't see a way out of this one, unless someone managed to disarm both of you at the same time" he said. 

I looked at Marty and smirked. "I believe that's our cue" I said and he nodded before we got to work, moving sandbags and pickle juice to douse the torch and knock the gun out of Tannen's hand. We offset the balance of the chandelier and looked at each other as we watched Doc as he stood between the two. We looked at each other before he nodded. We moved the sandbag to make everything fall. Doc dove out of the way as Tannen hit the floor after he shot into the air. Edna laughed only to get doused with pickle juice. We jumped down and Tannen looked at us before Doc got his attention and knocked him out with a punch. I rose a brow. "Remind me to never get on your bad side, Doc." I said and he smiled. "I would never hit a lady." he said. 

We heard Edna start her DeLorean and now we had to catch up with her in ours. We caught up with her shortly and Doc had a plan. Something that he usually had in dire times. We had to connect our DeLorean to hers, that way it would jump through time like it was supposed to. But that was easier said than done.
