Gilligan helped the young lady up she was just a head shorter then he was she now had shoulder length black hair and she wore black .

' I notice you were wearing a black dress were too you on your way to a funeral or wedding ? ' ask Gilligan as he gave her some water to drink . He watched her drink and he smiled at her .

' No I just like black was my mother's favorite color .' Gilligan smile in the years they'd been on the island he only found Mary Ann attractive too him being their'd age were almost the same .

Ginger Grant was beautiful and what male wouldn't notice Ginger as all those times she tried too kiss him ,not because he'd wouldn't have liked it because he still was too considered a First Mate from the S.S. Minnow and he to had too obey the rules of Navy regulations about relationships and what could happen .

Now Wednesday was here and somehow Gilligan found himself also attracted to her as well and even the Skipper and Professor notice this as they came to see if they could help but they saw how he was doing .

' I'd think Gilligam has everything well in hand Skipper,'  the Profeessor told him as they both came back to see how they were doing .

' Yes,' smiled the Skipper,' I think my little buddy is finally growing up , don't worry Professor if he says anything stupid I won't hit him with my hat like I use to I've change over the years, even my little buddy deserve to be happy besides since he has the problem taking care of I need to talk to you privately about something more important  might affect all of us in case that day comes we never rescued .'

' What is that Skipper ? ' the Professor wanted to know .

They left leaving Gilligan and Wednesday to themselves as they had in fact told everyone else too meet them at the table where they have their meals together every day .They waited for the Skipper to talk .

They explained about Wednesday's arrival and before anyone could in fact run off to see her .

' Stay,' the Skipper told them,' I need too talk too the rest of you in private I notice Gilligan happier then he's ever been being around her please, I'd want too see him happy as I do the rest of you ,his life like the rest of you no doubt problem haven't been pleasent either being here ,but now too more then ever I need all of you to get along , please .'

' What's the matter Skipper ? ' asked Thurston Howell sitting next to his wife . They both look concern as everyone did .

' I'm dying , my age has finally caught up to me .'
