Gilligan was walking along when he saw something moving in a bush. He couldn't make out what it was, so he moved closer.
"Hello?..."
The rustling stopped. Gilligan approached the bush slowly.
"Wh-who's there?"
Suddenly, the Skipper leaped out of the bush, holding Mary Ann in his arms. She wasn't moving.
"Why hey there little buddy!" The Skipper said in his normal jolly voice. He seemed to think nothing was wrong carrying the unconscious woman in his arms.
"Skipper, what's wrong with Mary Ann?" Gilligan was genuinely concerned.
The Skipper laughed and said, "Nothing! I have merely beat her unconscious. I plan on duplicating her."
Gilligan was sure that either the Skipper had gone mad, or he had. "S-say that again?"
The Skipper suddenly grew very upset. "I said… I have BEAT her UNCONSCIOUS, and I am going back to the Professor's hut to DUPLICATE her. Why don't you mind your own business, you scrawny excuse for sailor."
Gilligan was dumbfounded. Scrawny? The Skipper was never that mean, even when he was angry. Gilligan's head was spinning.
The Skipper stormed off in the direction of the Professor's hut.
Gilligan followed him. He wanted to make sure that the Skipper and Mary Ann were okay. The Skipper has probably been bitten by some weird bug or something, Gilligan thought to comfort himself.
. . .
Back at the Professor's hut, there was maniacal laughter and the sound of power tools. Ginger knocked on the door to see what was going on.
"Professor, is everything alri-"
The Professor flung the door open, and stood there in a tattered shirt smeared with machine oil. "What the hell do you want?! I am working on something extremely important!" The Professor laughed in a way that made Ginger very uncomfortable. His voice cracked near the end.
"That is not how you speak to a lady." Ginger tried to keep her composure as the Professor eyed her hungrily.
"Would you like to see something Ginger. Would you like to see something fascinating?"
Ginger avoided eye contact with the crazed professor. "I guess so…"
"You guess so? Hah, you people have no respect for science!"
"You people?" Ginger was slightly offended. She was a movie star, not just any old girl.
The Professor laughed again and motioned Ginger into his hut, where she was met by a horrifying sight. Strange tools, like none she had ever seen, surrounded a table that was covered in robotic body parts that looked oddly similar to hers. Ginger stood there blankly.
The Professor beamed at her. "I found these tools! They washed up on the shore and I took them and I used them. They are fan-TA-stic! I am duplicating everyone on the island! EVERYONE!"
Ginger was appalled. "You've lost your mind Professor! I was once in a movie with a mad scientist. He was-"
"Blah blah blah, nobody cares about your stupid movies. No one is getting in the way of the duplication process. Not even a pretty thing like yourself." And with that, the Professor clubbed her over the head with his fist, knocking her unconscious.
At this time, the Skipper arrived with Mary Ann.
"Excellent, another castaway to duplicate!" The professor motioned the Skipper to lay Mary Ann down next to Ginger.
This was, in fact, not the actually Skipper, who was the second castaway to be duplicated, but the robot Skipper. Skipper X35, as the Professor liked to call him. This was because the power tools had DrillMonster X35 boldly stamped on them in bright orange letters.
Skipper X35 laid down Mary Ann next to Ginger and awaited the Professor's next command.
