Ginger smiled entering the Professor's old hut and seeing all the homemade scientific contraptions about. "Darling look at all this." She said her eyes scanning the room. "How on earth did you come up with all of these things? I never in a million years would have been able to do this. You are quite remarkable and very clever I must say." The actress commented.

"It wasn't easy." He answered shutting the door. "However I knew what I needed to make things works so I managed to put it together. Yes using hollowed out gourds, oyster shells and bamboo rods may seem primitive but they got the job done. I just used my knowledge of different things and came up with what I could."

"You were always so brilliant darling." Ginger said kissing his lips. "It's one of the reason I am so glad you were on the Minnow. I don't know what we would have ever done without you. I know I couldn't have survived without you."

The Professor returned her kiss and brushed back a lose strand of hair from her cheek. "My love may I ask you something?"

"Sure what is it?"

"Have you always been attracted to intelligent men?" He inquired. "I'm just curious. You always seem to be delighted by my intelligence so I wonder if that is what you always loved in a man."

"Well." Ginger began. "I suppose not always. I dated a doctor as you know but to be honest he wasn't all that interesting. I dated a basketball player once however he was too into his sport and I found it boring. Most of the time I looked for a man who was in the same business as I was. I thought it would be wonderful to be with another actor in Hollywood. Be like Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall. Many times I dreamed of the press adoring us and being the talk of the town. But that changed with you darling." She moved closer to him. "When I saw you suddenly I did not care about any of that. The things you would talk about seemed so fascinating. When you would speak of the animal life on the island or the plants I was intrigued. I never knew a lot about those things but you made it so interesting. "

"I see. Well that would be a first. Usually when I discuss such things people looked bored. At least my students did." He said.

"Roy there is nothing boring about the things you talk about. It opened up a new world to me. I found there is much more in life than acting. Yes I adore acting and I love singing but having knowledge about the world around me and how they work is intriguing to me." She stated. "You remember when Duke was here and you told him about the tsunami?"

"Yes I do. I recall that he did not understand what I was saying however you on the other hand thought it was genius and said something like "Isn't he wonderful?" in that breathy voice of yours." He smiled.

"Well you were wonderful." She smiled. "You know Roy most men I had known cared more about showing off their fancy cars and their fat wallet. You were never like that and you respected me. You treated me like a person. While yes it was true there were times, many many times I wished just once you would try something…I am not saying I wanted you to…you know but I was hoping for maybe a little kiss or a soft touch…." Ginger sighed. "When you nuzzled my neck I was so elated. I prayed you would do it again. You know when I was helping you be like Cary Grant a part of me was wishing you would be drawn in by my perfume and wish to experience it's fragrance once more."

"Ginger I was drawn in. That would be the reason I said you smelled so good. You didn't seem to approve of this and dropped me on the bed." He reminded her.

"I was annoyed you didn't follow up by sniffing my perfume." Ginger grinned.

"My apologies." He said pulling her close. "I promise to never be that foolish again." With that he bent his head down to her neck and Ginger squealed as he began to softly nuzzle her.

His lips then located hers and Ginger wrapped her arms around him. He led her over to his old bunk and they were wrapped up in each other's arms.

Jungle

"Wow." Diana said as she looked at the old washing machine that was still standing there. "How did you all come up with this?"

Mary Ann smiled. 'The Professor and Skipper put it together. You had to pedal this bike to get it to work but it was so much easier than washing clothes in the lagoon that's for sure. What a chore that was!"

"I'll bet." The blonde said. "I guess you didn't have one to dry the clothes."

"No we still hung them out on a line. It wasn't all that bad. Being in the tropics they dried pretty quickly." Mary Ann explained. "Besides it gave me a chance to be alone with Gilligan." She added with a smile.

"Oh." Diana grinned. "You were smitten with him that early?"

"I loved him since I saw him." Mary Ann gushed. "I thought he was so cute and so adorable! I loved hanging wash with him. Not that I didn't enjoy when Ginger helped me. It was fun to gossip with her but I did get a little tired of her endless Professor stories. He looked at me this way, he smiled at me when he passed me this, I think he likes that outfit I wore yesterday. Of course I suppose I can't throw stones. I was the same way with Gilligan. I'm sure Ginger got sick of my endless Gilligan stories."

"So what did you and Gilligan talk about when you hung laundry?" Diana asked.

"Oh I would just tell him about my farm back in Kansas. And all about the animals. He enjoyed hearing about them. He would tell me about his friends in Pennsylvania. Especially Skinny Mulligan. I think Gilligan has an endless supply of Skinny Mulligan tales. But they always made me laugh so I never minded." She smiled. Another memory popped into her head. "Oh I have to tell you about the time Mr. and Mrs. Howell thought they weren't married!"

"What?" Diana asked perplexed.

"You see they heard on the radio about this fake minister and they thought it was the one who married them so they believed they weren't really married." The brunette explained. "Ginger then suggested they just get married again since Skipper would have the authority to marry them being a sea captain. The Professor said that the ceremony would have to be on water for it to be official so we built a raft. Anyway before that, Skipper wanted to practice as he had never performed the ceremony before. He enlisted me to be the bride and Gilligan to be the groom!"

"Oh my." The writer laughed.

"I came out wearing this big ol' purple veil and Gilligan's eyes bugged out. He was terrified it would be real. He said he never wanted to marry. Well Skipper convinced him it wasn't and he went along. But when it got to the part where he had to kiss me, he took off." Mary Ann giggled. "He was so skittish about it."

"I see you changed that." Diana said warmly.

"I suppose I did. He was always timid around girls but I think I changed that." Mary Ann smiled.

"Gilligan is a nice boy." The blonde said. "I think you may a wonderful couple." Her eyes went to a sea captain who was chatting up with Mr. Howell on the old golf course. "You think maybe Jonas and I would…."

"Of course I do." Mary Ann said. "Skipper is a wonderful man. You would be very lucky to be with him."

Diana pursed her lips. "I am just worried about one little thing."

"What's that?"

"Ginger. I know he had a brief infatuation with Ginger. She is so beautiful and glamorous. I just don't know if I would measure up…He likes women like her. I'm so plain and…."

Mary Ann shook her head. "You are being silly. I saw the way Skipper had been looking at you when we were aboard ship. He is very smitten. I can tell you that he never once looked at Ginger in that manner. It was different. When he would look at Ginger he saw a beautiful woman that he wished to you know…" She said tactfully. "He wasn't very subtle about it. I had heard some of the things he used to say about Ginger. But with you, it's different. He looks happy. He looks like he hopes that you will like him."

"What things did he say about Ginger?" Diana asked curious. She had to know what kind of man Skipper really was before she dived in to deep. She was just cautious that way.

"Sailor talk I suppose. Discussing physical attributes of females." Mary Ann said. "You know how men talk about such things. I will have you know Gilligan wasn't so innocent either. He didn't speak of Ginger but he did like to mention things about me. Yes he may have been timid around girls but he sure liked talking about them."

"I see."

"Listen Skipper is not the same man he was when we got stranded. He changed a lot. The more time we were here the less he acted like that. He stopped trying to sneak glances at Ginger and me…"

"He used to look at you?" Diana asked.

"A few times. I suppose he couldn't help it." Mary Ann said. "I think my wardrobe was a little….well I did wear very short shorts. It didn't last long. I think he realized that Gilligan liked me and may have thought it wasn't right for him to look at me. Skipper really is a wonderful man Diana. He really is. I know you would be happy with him. Honest. Believe me as time went on he learned to respect me and Ginger and he was protective of us. Sometimes natives from another island appeared looking for bride and he would make it very clear to them Ginger and I were off limits."

Diana took this all in. "Well this is a lot to digest." She said. "I think I need to go talk with him myself. If you will excuse me."

"Sure." Mary Ann said. She had worried expression on her face. She hoped she didn't say anything to dissuade Diana from pursuing a relationship with Skipper. She hadn't meant to.

Professor's Hut

Ginger purred as she snuggled up close to her husband. "Roy darling you are wonderful." She sighed her head on his chest.

"You my love are quite amazing." He replied his arm around her. He gently kissed the top of her head.

Ginger draped her arm around. "Mmmm..looks like my wish came true."

"What wish was that?" He asked.

"I always wished to be with you in your hut. Many times I dreamed of it….I thought for sure that one night it would happen. Next time don't escort me out. So what if I was curious about a stupid old briefcase. You could have had me."

"I promise I will never make that error again." He said. "However my love there were times you did hide out in here. You recall when Skipper made that pass at you when he had amnesia? You were scared he would try again and you insisted on hiding here with me."

Ginger smiled. "I felt safe with you. I always felt safe with you. You would always protect me. That's why when that whole Randolph Blake thing happened I told Mary Ann we should go to you. I figured you would wrap me up in yours arms vowing you wouldn't let anyone get to me."

"What about Mary Ann?" The Professor asked with a smile.

"Oh well she could have hidden in a closet or something." Ginger said. "She would have been fine. After all darling there is only room in your arms for one person. Me."

"Naturally." The academic said kissing her forehead. "I do remember another time you came dashing into my hut in a dramatic fashion. You were going on about how Gilligan accosted you in the jungle. If I am recalling correctly you threw yourself at me and clutched me tightly."

"Strictly for safety reasons darling." Ginger said slyly.

"Of course." He said. "Safety. Well at least you know now that Gilligan wasn't the one who did that. He says it was a double."

"Double or no double I still didn't like it." Ginger frowned. "I never did."

"I know you didn't." Professor said. "You know my love it would seem the only one you were ever happy about "accosting" you was me."

"You are cute and I love you." Ginger said placing a kiss on his bare chest. "Besides you never realized how you turned me on. You didn't have any idea that your actions were so wonderful. You just thought you were innocently sniffing my perfume. By the way Roy why did you just have to grab a hold of me and sniff the perfume on my neck. The bottle was right there."

"You were more exciting than the bottle." He answered. "I don't really know what came over me but for one reason or another the idea of sniffing the perfume directly on your neck was more interesting."

Ginger giggled and then kissed his lips. She rested her head back down. "Darling we sure had some crazy times on this island. You remember when we thought there were ghosts and then a boat just appeared. You said that it was a trap. We had to make dummies of ourselves to see if the boat was safe."

"Yes and I recall you recruiting me to help you and Mary Ann. You claimed that you simply couldn't do it yourself and that I was so brilliant I could do a better job." He replied.

"You did." Ginger said with a smile. "You even tried to watch me undress my dummy."

He shook his head. "My love I wasn't doing anything…"

"You probably were trying to mentally undress me." She said seductively.

"Ginger…" Before he could continue his denial, Ginger pressed her lips against his soon he forgot everything but her.

California

Evelyn walked into her husband' s study with a smile plastered on her face. "Hello Donald." She greeted.

"Evelyn." He said with a smile. "What brings you in here?"

Even though they had been married for a short while Donald Winters adored Evelyn. He thought the world of the ivy league educated woman. There was nothing he wouldn't do for her. The man was oblivious to her indiscretions with other men and had no idea she occasionally employed the services of a male escort. Since she paid with cash there was no trail. Evelyn was careful that way. He had been horrified to learn she was forced out of her position at Dunmore & Thompson. All because Roy Hinkley had to make up lies about her. It sickened him. How could anyone say such things about his sweet devoted Evelyn! She was everything to him. For anyone to make up such lies. It was horrifying!

"I was just thinking dear about how you were looking to sell your publishing company. I think I know the perfect buyer for it." She said sweetly.

"Oh and who would that be?" The blonde haired man who was slightly younger than her asked.

"Erika Tiffany Smith." Evelyn answered. "I heard that she was looking to start a new business venture and I think this would be perfect for her."

"You do?"

"Of course dear." The brunette said with a smile. "She is loaded and I know she is always looking for something to invest her money in, why not this? Your publishing company does employ that romance writer…..Diana Larkin. She's the hottest writer in the business right now. It would be a coup for Erika to snatch this opportunity." She exaggerated at bit about Diana but Donald wouldn't know that.

"Okay then." He said with a smile. "I trust your judgment. I will meet with Ms. Smith and make an offer to her."

"Perfect." Evelyn said. "I was hoping you would take my advice."

"I always do dear." He said with a twinkle in his aqua green eyes. "You have the best business sense of anyone I know. Of course I could offer the company to you if Ms. Smith declines."

"You are so thoughtful Donald." Evelyn said. "But I really don't think she will turn it down. You just make her an incredible offer that she can't resist. You always had a way of doing that." She came around the desk and placed her arms around him from behind. "That's how you snatched up me." She said kissing his cheek.

"You are wise my dear wife. I will call Ms. Smith at once."

Evelyn smiled as Donald picked up the phone. She blew him a kiss before leaving the den shutting the door behind her. He fell for it. Hook line and sinker. Now that unpleasant part was done, she had to wait to see if Ms. Smith would bite. If not, she would speak to the woman herself. Whatever it took, she was going to make sure Erika owned the company.
