Allison leads the EGB's to a back room where the lights are dim.

Eddie: Man, I told you I had a bad feeling about this ...

Bryan: Shut up, Eddie, this is cool.

Allison: Well here it is, well ... here they are that is. Two machines ... first one the machine that manipulates a ghost's mind, using his powers against him.

Kylie: And the second?

Allison grins and then says: Time machine. Bryan built it just before he died. *she looks over at Bryan* But I need to be honest now ... you're not in the museum beacuse we left you out, but because you sorta never existed ... with the Ghostbusters.

Bryan: WHAT?! I NEVER EXISTED?! BUT -HOW-WHY ... huh? I'm lost.

Allison: We don't know what happened but whatever did, happened after the night you caught your "last" ghost.

Bryan: The night we all disappeared ... to now.

There is a silence and then Bryan speaks up.

Bryan: I've got an idea. It's a crazy one but it might send us home.

Eddie: Well, spit it out boy ... we haven't got all day.

Bryan: Wrong, Eddie ... completely wrong.

TWO HOURS LATER

Bryan: Ok, the way this works is, we hook up this part of the time machine and it will take us directly to where the alternate power supply is and BOOM! we go home.

Eddie: Can we do this without the boom?

Garrett shakes his head.

Bryan: All right, everyone set?

Everyone nods their agreement.

Bryan: Thanks Allison, we couldn't have done it without ya.

Allison: Still can't ... how do you start it, Bryan?

Bryan: Well, um, er ... damn ... um, no?

Allison gets in.

Allison: I'm going with you, like it or not. *touches Bryan's nose lightly*

Allison revs the machine up and yell for everyone to hold on tight and puches a red button and they disappear.

NEW YORK CITY 1984 ...

*A view of Ghostbusters central. It's a nice night out and there is a lot of commotion and moving around inside. Suddenly, the doors open revealing a sleek white car with the familiar No-Ghost logo on the sides. The ECTO-1 pulls out and drives off. But before it does, in the alley next to the firehouse, there's a flash of light and six figures come out of the dark*

Eddie: Man where are we?

Bryan: New York City. 1984. 100 years from where we left off. About 16 years from where we originally started.

*The six suddenly see the sleek white Ectomobile drive off*

Bryan: Speaking of Origin ...

Kylie: My God ... it's the first night ... the night they caught Slimer!

Eddie: That slimeball ... why didn't he stay in the unit then?

Roland: Because the unit blew in '84 as well Eddie, in fact it blows in a few weeks.

Garrett: So, why don't we go inside? We are Ghostbusters aren't we?

*A New York City jail cell*

Eddie: "We are Ghostbusters aren't we?" Thanks a lot Garrett.

Garrett: Hey, I didn't know Janine wouldn't recognize us ...

Roland: Well, it is 1984 Garrett, she doesn't even know us yet.

A gaurd comes around the corner.

Gaurd: All right, the "Ghostbusters". *He stifles a laugh but not the smile*
Your bail has been posted, you're free to go.

Bryan: By who?

*****

*Ghostbusters Headquarters 1984*

Egon: So explain this again?

Bryan: We come from 2000, we travled through time to 2084, and then ended up here.

Ray: And you all claim to be Ghostbusters?

Allison: Except for me. I'm just a descendent.

Peter: I'm sorry, but that sounds like a load of bull-ony.

Ray: Peter, they look serious. Plus, they have the same logo, and look at Bryan's pack. Same design. There's no other possible answer except for theirs.

Egon: I agree Ray, but like all scintists, I need some proof.

Bryan: Proof?

Egon: Yes. Evidence of some sort that you have time traveled.

Eddie looks in his pocket.

Eddie: Hey, how bout this? *Hands him a flyer*

Egon: "Save the Clones"?

Bryan: Read the date.

Egon: August 12, 2084 ...

Bryan: Believe us now?

Egon: I do.

Kylie: Good ... cause we need your help now.

*****

*While the Ghostbusters, both old and new, and Allison talk over what needs to be done, a mysterious shadow looks through the window.*

Voice: So ... they met up with Allison and haven't figured it out yet ...

*laughs*

They will soon ...

*ZOOM OUT TO A NIGHTLINE SKY OF NEW YORK, NEW YORK 1984 ...*
