There then it was high on the hill where I put it overlooking the island and yet it seemed so errie seeing it there,but the tombstone was there,as I got closer to it I saw the names written on it and I knew who those names were too, One after another,Ginger Grant,Professor,Mr and Mrs Howell and the Skipper, but the most important name was above all of them,it represented the most important one of all, the name of Gilligan .
He was then my father,after the Skipper passed away from old age and fever my father admitted his love he had for Mary Ann,everyone always thought it be Ginger but the Skipper had married her and the Professor a year earlier to and one by one if not for fever or other island madness being stuck here in fact for those long years it would drive anyone mad or crazy .
My father then too immediately took charge of the camp and remaining survivors and even his goofiness and ill mannered behavior vanished once he was in fact in charge,my mother knew she saw something in him and she was right he became the man everyone thought he could once the clown mask was not there no more .
My father name me Jillian his daughter. And I knelt down before that lonely tombstone and prayed to the castaways who for thirty years tried to get off this island but couldn't and yet here I was the reminder of those seven stranded castaways of yesteryear and I swore I was never going to give up trying either,my father might have been inept,goofy at times but he was my father after all and I loved him,I turned away and look up, the first star of night appeared,' I sang my father's favorite song a song that he song often to me ,'Twinkle,twinkle little star give us hope to leave this island soon, twinkle,twinkle little star at least give us wings so we can fly to the Moon and look down at your beauty and behold it's truth and glory.'
I started then walking away and turned staring at the tombstone again,' I love you father for you gave me my life and I'll never forget that one day I will to leave this island and tell the world of the seven bravest people I knew but never more brave then you father,Gilligan I mean. I love you so. '
I started then walking away and knew if by a years time I had not gotten off this island I then would be back up this highest hill to see my father again .As I walked away my mind already started planning on how to get off this island once and for all and tell the world about my father and the others in fact there was a secret path my father had made during his early years when the castaways were new too the island,now this path only Gilligan knew about it and later my mother ,the path completed encircle then the island and was still hidden by bushes and trees so no one else noticed it but my father .
Thats how he got away from the Skipper every time something didn't go right and it was easy to use too. I smiled as I remembered one time .....
' Skipper can then you believe Mary Ann is pregnant ,I'm going to be a father.'The Skipper just nodded but didn't say nothing he knew right now was not the time for another mouth to feed,but it was true ,Mary Ann was now pregnant, And it was only after several tests done by the Professor that proved she was pregnant and an admittance by her and Gilligan were in more then a mere love affair with each other too.
' Oh by the way Skipper said the expected mother as she sat down at the dinner table next to Gilligan and they kissed one another,Mary Ann then looking around to see if anyone else was nearby then said,smiling.
' We then talked and when our baby is born we want you to be their Godfather.'The Skipper stood removing his cap and smiling,' Of course I be honor.'Then the Skipper turned and walked away,' Me a Godfather .'
' I think we made him cry,' said Gilligan .' Mary Ann kissed Gillgan feeling the baby moved again, ' Gilligan,' she suddenly told him,' We need to get off this island I'll have our baby here but what kind of life will it be for her or him ,there then aint no other children around,we could teach them and school them still .'
Gilligan didn't know to react or answer her then she was right,and the other castaways will help raise the child but this island life was not for any children ,be it one two or ten, now they needed to get off the island more then ever . Especially with their child on the way too that this inept always causing their rescue mishaps then young man was in fact eight months from now too be a father . Father Gilligan who would had thought it as much. But with help and wisdom from the other castaways Gilligan had in fact grew got more mature and wiser and his inept behavior soon vanish as well.
Still Mary Ann was right this was no life to bring up children .He was to rescue them this time there couldn't be no mistakes,no goof ups bothing that would hurt them getting off this miserable island forever .Now this time without any help from the Skipper or the Professor Gilligan was in fact going to rescue his yet unborn child and wife in his mind they were the set reasons to get off this island now even the other castaways in fact were unimportant to him right now all that matter was Mary Ann and his child ,they needed civilization especially a hospital for the baby one time Gilligan saw the Skipper deliver a baby he did it but still they were in Hawaii taking passengers on a cruise and hospitals were near in case anything happened wrong too .
Now then remembering pasts mishaps then that were as he fouled up so many rescue attempts Gilligan had more confidence now then before on how to get off this island and using the secret path he then walked up to a location on the island that only he and Mary Ann knew about,because it was at there he and Mary Ann fell in love and made love and it was there at Mary Ann's Secret Garden as Gilligan had called it where he had first thought of in fact on how to get off the island now .He thought of how use to show how to use guns and grenades in the Navy if he could had something that could thrust or throw them off the island in one shot .
Gilligan walking for a hour now decided to go to his favorite spot and he thought of taking a nap,he was tired,he loved Mary Ann but after talking all day that could get tiring toothough he was still a young man like the Skipper or Mr Howell,Gilligan found the garden spot and laid himself in the hammock he too had made there . Closing his eyes Gilligan then had started to dream too.........
Gilligan then too opening his eyes saw that he napped longer then he should had he got off the hammock and started walking back toward too the camping area where looking at his watch it should be lunch time .He hope Mary Ann was there and the other castaways as well too becase Gilligan knew now was as good a time as any other to ask Mary Ann .He then was going to ask her to marry him .Life on this blasted island was never a certainty either .Life was a given it was how you use life was not a given and death was almost always certain .And then too besides with the Skipper it seems he was older then letting everyone realize though that he was walking slower then before his reactions were that which were part of getting old and knowing then the Skipper as he did Gilligan knew he was a proud man and would never ask anyone for help .
Suddenly then he stopped he was going the right way to the huts but there in fact seemed something different now something was not right .Gilligan could not believe what he saw or who he saw his brother Stinly or Sam everybody called him Stinky because he only bathed when he wanted to but he died years later in a suppose plane crash the body was never in fact discovered he left home because he felt he was always picked on by the family except Gilligan who always protected and stood up for Sam to. Gilligan then even told the Skipper that,something was wrong with Sam once he was blonde blue eyes all the girls trying to date him ,Gilligan then did not know how too react or move toward Sam but he took a deep breath and stepped closer they hugged he was real.
Suddenly then he let go of Sam, something wasn't right he felt cold Gilligan turned and for no reason he had he started running the other way as his brother called or cried his name but Gilligan didn't stop..........
When he then opened his eyes Gilligan saw a concern look on the face of his future wife ,she told him they were talking and he fell asleep,' No I'm o.k. Mary Ann,' he told her,' Just one of my dreams again I hope this is the last one too.' He then smiled reassuring her everything would be alright not to worry about him but worry about the baby instead .
He then hated dreams sometimes they were nice ones but then other times they were nightmares still he had to continue though no matter what .
' I now then got to get Mary Ann and my baby off this island .'Gilligan felt uneasy more now then ever before and yet he reminded himself that he had too and now whatever it took whatever the price he had too pay .He then had not just for them but for himself as well, now was the time to show everyone he wasn't as inept as everyone thought he was .
Now as often as the castaways have tried to get off the island in their attempts to do so, they tried with all seven castaways too,Gilligan only had three to worry about,himself,Mary Ann and the baby he was in fact especially concern about how a raft or anything else might affect the baby once they got off the island too. Waves have unusual affects on people especially if your not use to them seasick is very common in theyoung or children .And even the weather could get rough on all three of them .' This has to work,' said Gilligan .
Meanwhile the Professor after examining Mary Ann went to see Ginger who was having her own personal problems,she found a couple silver hairs and was beginning to think she was turning old .
' Ginger,' said the Professor then as he saw her standing before a mirror for the thousandth time ,' Ginger you still look beautiful today as when we first landed on this damn island,I still say they make you look more beautiful then ever,don't worry about it please. I loved you and thats why I married you .' Ginger then turned as she him walked into the hut .
' Thankyou,' she said then hugging him , the Professor and kissing him .Suddenly she smiled then realizing what the Professor was doing . He was trying to make her feel better she knew it wasn't going to work,she still felt old .She had to get over it but yet she couldn't .
And then the Professor had his own concerns he was not much older then Ginger ,but his own problems were remembering or forgetting the littlest things too.Each member of the castaways were showing signs of old age one by one their bodies could not adapt to island living,they had no meats too make their bones stronger,no doctors too then help them maintain a healthy living and no exercise to maintain a hwealthy mind and body the old age was creeping up on them,even Mary Ann who was the youngest yet they continued living struggling every day .
And Gilligan was trying one more time to get everyone off the island .
Gilligan then started exploring a cave he found near the garden,maybe inside here was something there that then could help them get off the island ' Its now or never .' Gilligan told himself ..Inside like then most caves it was damp and wet but unlike most caves this one seemed warm inside but why no volcano was active no other things that could heat the cave .Gilligan found a tunnel and started walking down through it .
It got warmer then too as he got deeper he walked then down the tunnel.Gilligan never hot except when the volcano was active then too and that was years ago,it seemed he was then getting closer to the end of the tunnel. There then was light there too,a white light which meant sunlight .he started to hurry faster ,then suddenly he stopped .not then believing what he was seeing. There then in fact was a chamber then at the end of a tunnel and what look like computer after computer lined the one side of it,on the other side was a row of cylinders and inside each of them was a body . Gilligan took a deep breath and looked at everything there was inside the chamber .
But then the most shocking were the bodies he saw,or who the bodies represented ,he then now saw the Skipper,and the rest of the castaways he even saw a body of himself in a cylinder .What was all this ?
They had had too then encountered mad scientists,tribes from other island,they even were at each others throats on more then once . But Gilligan never saw anything like this before . Who created the duplicates of themselves and why for what reason. He walk then around the cave not touching anything he saw And yet not believing what he saw either .It then was like something out of one of those outer space movies he saw when they were rescued once and they were in civilization again .
' Got too be something here that will help Mary Ann ,' he said .Suddenly he turned and heard a sound as he to saw someone else stepped into the chamber . Gilligan's jaw opened as he saw the Professor walked in,but it wasn't the Professor,he was taller the original Professor and had a beard ,Gilligan saw many computers lined one wall of the chamber on the other side were a row of tubes or cylinders and each had a body that was inside of it. But then the biggest surprise was what was inside the tubes or cylinders a body of a castaway or what appeared to be the castaways there even was a replica of Gilligan there .
