A/N: GREETINGS! HAPPY JUNETEENTH WEEKEND, EVERYBODY! Well, how about that!? As I started out this scribing journey a few months ago, little did I truly realize how serendipitous my wrtiting this would become. This was how I was going to make my latest story of my BMAG saga a reality. And now, not only is BMAG a reality...but this national holiday is, as well. Again, I do not own any of the rights to the Gilligan's Island characters. Yet, I am enjoying how they are allowing me to look at these legendary, iconic characters in a wonderful new light and way. Yes, BMAG is the primary focus, however all the other castaways will be feautred in this story...which a specal revelatoy Pinger chapter coming up. Thanks again for Miss Tara Burgundy for her ongoing suppot and comaraderie as I continue on in this wonderful tale weaving I look forward to doing much more of. Happy Juneteenth, everybody! Enjoy!
The morning of June 19th started off differently for Gilligan and Mary Ann. They both got up earlier than usual and decided to get a jump on their respective chores. They both quietly met up outside briefly before getting started .
"Good morning, baby," Mary Ann said.
"Good morning, honey," Gilligan said, the two coming together for a brief top-morning kiss. They wanted to get an earlier start so they could finish all of their work for the day so that they could spend the rest of this one together.
"Now, you know what to do first, right, babe?" Mary Ann asked.
"Yes, I do", Gilligan said, shovel already in his hand, knowing what he was going to do first.
"Great, love. Now, let's get started on all we need to do today."
You got it," Gilligan said, kissing his lady quickly on the lips as we headed towards the lagoon to get started on his first order of duty, which was to dig up the cooler he and Mary Ann had filled up with choice cuts, bread, chips, and soda. Once there, Gilligan dug it all up right away. Everything was right intact and in place—and fresh, too. Once done, he then re-filled the hole and took the cooler back to camp so that Mary Ann could look everything over. Mary Ann was busy cooking breakfast for everyone, includng herself and her boyfriend. Between the pancakes and eggs she was making for everyone, which she managed to find in the main freezer the week before, she also got busy on preparing sandwiches…some for her and Gilligan…the rest for the other five.
This was something Mary Ann had not done in years…yet was all too happy to do for the others as well as her and Gilligan. Until discovering the freezer after discovering that she and Gilligan could, if they ever got married, live anywhere they wanted to with the Supreme Court's decision to make interracial marriage legal in every state of the union (the others were happy to receive the freezer and the food contents contained therein; some of which was saved for another forthcoming holiday very soon). Although today's idea was in Mary Ann's mind already, anyway, to make this date a special date, the food discovery which followed made his day an even special one. Mary Ann could cook…and one thing, amongst many, she was great at doing was making sandwiches. Using regular loaves of bread, she whipped up many turkey, ham and turkey/ham sandwiches for herself and the others. All of the sandwiches would be filled with cheese—cheddar for the ham, swiss for the turkey and combos. She wanted to get these out of the way so that this could all be a serendipitous surprise for the others….not to mention all the fish she was going to fry up for this one later.
Gilligan surely worked himself up quite the appetite. Besides digging up the cooler to begin his work day, he brought about a lot of water early, collected firewood, and even gathered up some coconuts…which Mary Ann used to make some coconut cream pies…one for them…one for the others…and a special pie she was making for the two of them, besides, as well.
Later that morning, the other five castaways joined the young couple for breakfast at the communal table. Mary Ann served up eggs, fruit, and toast, along with a special orange juice she had made up from oranges she found, as well. All seven truly enjoyed the breakfast Mary Ann had put together for them.
"Boy, these are the best eggs I have had in a long, long time!", Skipper exclaimed.
"Yes, these eggs are very, very tasty," Mrs. Howell said.
"Gee, honey, you really outdid yourself," Gilligan said, unaware of what all was really coming up later that day.
"Yes, I did, dear. Thanks." Mary Ann said, using her more familiar voice around the others. She only used the endearment, baby, and her true, Lena-esque voice when she was around Gilligan alone.
"Your cooking never fails to amaze me," Ginger said, secretly wishing she had her roommate's culinary skills as much as Mary Ann secretly wished she could sing as well as Ginger.
"These eggs are superb. My compliments to the chief!" Mr. Howell said.
"Mary Ann, these eggs were delicious," the Professor said.
"Thank you, everyone," Mary Ann said, admitting, "I must declare, these eggs are rather delicious, if I must say so myself," an act of open modestly which very much flew over mostly everyone's head…except Gilligan's, who knew just how confident his girlfriend was becoming. The two of them made eye contact, winking with one another in the process.
After breakfast, the seven of them went their seperate ways…with Gillgan finishing up his chores, while Mary Ann finished hers, including all kinds of fish for the seven of them to eventually eat that very day. As she worked to clear the dishes afteward, Ginger went over to give her a helping hand.
"So, what do you have planned for today?" Ginger asked.
"Gilligan and I are going to spend the day togther, doing something special," Mary Ann answered.
"Oh, what is that?" Ginger said.
"A very special thing we set aside for each other today," Mary Ann said,
"How special?' Ginger asked, filled with sudden curiousity and heightened interest.
After pausing, for a minute, about how she truly wanted to answer Ginger, Mary Ann gave her answer. "Something that is going to tell William a whole lot more about who and what I am," Mary Ann smiled.
"And what would that be, honey?" Ginger asked with a quietly eager smile.
"Something that, once he knows…everyone else will then know," Mary Ann said, winking as she finished up on cleaning the breakfast dishes with Ginger. Once the final dish was cleaned, Mary Ann smiled and gave her roommate an open kiss on the lips. "I'll see you later, Ginger," Mary Ann said, as she went off the take a quick shower in the spring near the lagoon everyone used for bathing.
Mary Ann never felt more happier on this day than she felt now. She had given herself a bathing from head-to-toe. After she was finished, she then returned to her hut, further dried off, and put some cocoa butter lotion all over her skin. How serendipidouts that Professor Roy had made a special cocoa butter exclusively for Mary Ann on account of her skin complexion being different than that of Ginger's and Mrs. Howell's. Mary Ann loved the way it caressed her skin, as well as its scent…and how it turned both her and Gilligan on when they were together.
She looked in the mirror at herself and noticed how glistening her nude figure looked…the fullness of her womanly hips, her full, large roundness of her butt, the shapeliness of her lower legs, and the thickness of her thighs. She loved the size of her feet, hands and the length of her fingers annd toes. She also liked her how pert and full her breasts were, and how taut and tighter her waist had gotten…so much so, that she could see her abdominal muscles clearly in ways she could not ever before. Clearly, all of the trekking around the island with her Gilligan, as well as all of the swimminng and the waist-triming excercises she did, along with the isometrics Roy got both her and Ginger on, had really paid dividends on both women. Both women had tighter torsos, narrower waist lines, and abdominal muscles showing. Mary Ann had always known…yet realized, particularly on this day of days, just how beautiful a Negro woman she truly was. Now, that she finally had a man she loved, and who loved her, as well, as she truly was, she felt a sense of confidence and happiness she never had nor felt before. Thus, the reason why she wanted this particular day to be special for both her and William. Mary Ann then got dressed, putting on, after her bra and pantes, a lime green dress and a pair of red dress flats—the same ones she had on that fateful day at the Summer Fair when she took first place in the pie baking contest. She then brushed her long, brunette hair down to her back, letting it cascade all over her round, tanned, face. She put red lipstick on her lips, forest green eye shadow on her eyes, light mascara on her lashes, and was ready to go about her special day with her special man.
Before she left, she then gathered all of the sandwiches out on the communal table, making an impressive spead, with potato chips in one bowl, fruit in another, soda cans on the table, the fish she had fried, a cocnut cream pie for desert, and then, in her neat, left-handed penmanship, wrote a special note to the rest of the five castaways….about this day and the special date it connotates.
Mary Ann then finished packing their lunch basket filled with sandwiches, chips, fruits, fried fish, two pies, fruit punch sodas, and a few things Mary Ann packed from home, originally, for her trip, which she had never shared with anyone else…until now. She then met up with William, who was taken in by her splendid beauty…and in a dress he (nor anybody else on the island, for that matter) had never seen her in before. He was carrying the radio and a blanket for the two of them to lay on during their special outing together.
"Gee, Mary Ann…you look…beautiful," William said.
"Thank you, sweetie. I am so very glad you like how I am looking today," Mary Ann said, speaking in her more natural Lena-esque tone. The two of them shared a special kiss together before going over a final checklist.
"Got everything, honey?" William asked.
"Yes, baby. It is all right here.," Mary Ann answered, looking inside of her basket one more time to verify. All was accounted for.
"Good. Let's go," William said, holding his arm out for his woman to take.
"You got it, baby," Mary Ann said, wraping her free arm around her man, going with him together on their special June 19th journey—together.
