Professor and Ginger had been a couple for around eight months now, and were truly and madly in love. The other Castaways never thought they would see the day. Granted, they were very happy for their friends, and thought they were a perfect match. It was just that the Professor wasn't one to go around saying how he truly felt about people he loved.
Ginger had come into the Professor's hut one night, telling him that she needed to get something off her chest. She had confessed to him how she really and truly felt about him, and that if he would give her a chance, then Ginger would promise to love him for the rest of their lives.
Professor had been shocked to say the least, but he knew this was the perfect opportunity to tell her how he felt as well. That night, they had both expressed their love for one another, and stayed up all night just talking and even kissing a little. The two of them were always holding hands, and Ginger would even help her man look for ferns.
Mrs. Howell would often tease the couple and ask when they were going to get married. Professor's face turned three shades of red, and Ginger just laughed.
Gilligan was thrilled about their relationship! He always thought they were a good match, and even wrote it down in his diary.
Everyone else wondered what they were planning to do once they got rescued. Professor said he would move to Hollywood for Ginger, because he could always teach in Hollywood, and he had no family left, anyway, so Hollywood was fine with him.
The happy couple decided to spend the afternoon by the lagoon, and spread out a blanket. Mary Ann had packed them a little picnic basket. Inside was fruit, a banana cream pie, and a bottle of Mr. Howell's Bubbly.
The weather was really nice outside, and the sky was a beautiful robin's egg blue. Professor and Ginger sat on their blanket, feeding each other pieces of fruit and just enjoying the day. Their only focus was each other.
As they leaned into kiss, they heard the sound of a motor. A boat was pulling in. This caused them both to stand up.
"A boat, Roy!"
"Yes! We're saved! You go tell the others!"
Ginger ran off to inform the others of the boat, while Professor decided to meet this person who would hopefully rescue them.
It was a woman. She had black hair that was up in a bun, and she was wearing glasses, and one of those suit skirts, and carrying a suitcase.
"Excuse me, Miss?"
The woman turned and glared at the Professor. A man was the last thing she wanted to see. They caused her nothing but heartache.
"This island isn't deserted?"
Professor was taken aback by her tone of voice.
"Well, it was, but not anymore. My name is Professor Roy Hinkley. There are seven of us here. We've been marooned quite a long time and are anxious to get back to civilization. Can we all fit in your boat?"
"You can have it! I have no desire to go back home! Please, just leave me alone."
Professor looked concerned. The poor girl. He could tell she had been hurt bad. Probably by a guy. Sure, the girl wasn't very attractive, but she wasn't really ugly, either.
"What's your name?"
"Eva Grubb."
"Well, Eva, at least meet the rest of my friends. They will all be very thankful to meet you."
Eva looked hesitant.
"Please. Just so they can say thank you."
"On one condition. If you all promise to leave me here alone, then I will give you the key to the boat."
Professor sighed, but decided to play along. No way was he going to allow this woman to stay here by herself. It wouldn't be safe. An idea formed in his head, but he would mention it to the others later.
"Sure, Eva. If that's what you really want."
"It is."
"All right, come on. Allow me."
Professor took Eva's suitcase and she followed him to camp where the others were waiting anxiously.
