It was Thanksgiving got up,showered,and put on his best suit. He headed down the stairs to the kitchen. His niece was setting the dining room table and his brother was getting firewood. His mother was struggling to get the turkey from the oven. Running to her side, he took the turkey from her. He then straightened his tie nervously.

"Where is MaryAnn?"

"With Samantha. They should be here any minute." Just then, he heard footsteps coming from behind him. It was MaryAnn. She was dressed in her royal blue dress and her hair was down and curly. Samantha followed right behind in a long green dress.

"Wow, MaryAnn, you look beautiful!" His mom and Samantha looked at each other happily.

The family had dinner and then headed to the living room. Just then, the phone rang.

"William, whoever it is, have them call back later," his mom said as Gilligan went to retrieve the phone.

"Hello?"

"Happy Thanksgiving,little buddy," Gilligan heard from the other end of the phone. Gilligan grinned.

"Same to you! What are you up to today?"

"Just had some turkey. And boy, was it good!" Gilligan untangled the phone cord and smiled at MaryAnn as she watched him.

"When are you heading back?" Skipper paused for a second.

"Tonight,actually. I don't live too far from the island but just figured I would return about you?" MaryAnn put her hand on Gilligan's and looked into his eyes. Just then, he got an idea.

"We are leaving tonight too. See you soon!" Without giving the skipper a chance to reply, he hung up and went over to his mom.

"William, what is it,dear?" Gilligan bent down to his mom's level,putting his arm around her.

"How would you like to come back with us on the island?" His mom gasped.

"Oh,I'd love that! Let when is good to come!" Gilligan stopped her before she continued.

"Um,mom, I mean right now. You can stay as long as you want! Does that sound good to you?" She wept.

"I haven't seen him in a long time! What will he say? What is it like there? What should I bring?" Gilligan stopped her.

"One question at a time,mom. For now, let's just get ready!"
