Fall: 1965

Lucy and Ethel just 'appeared' in a patch of trees. "Uh...Lucy, where are we?" asked Ethel.
"I don't know! Do you think it has something to do with that Wells guy?"
"Oh, Lucy... That's low. Even for you."
"What!?"
"Oh...nevermind. However, or whatever, got us here. Let's try and see if it'll get us back."
"Alright. But Ethel?"
"What?"
"What are we looking for?"
"I don't know..."
"Oh! Well, let's look that way."

Meanwhile, not far from them...
"Hey Skipper, I think I just got the radio to work 2-way," said the Professor.
"Really?" asked Skipper.
"Yeah here, watch," the Professor told him, as he was trying to demonstrate his point, then he called into the radio, "Hello? Hello?"
"Hello?" came a voice from the other end.
The Professor gave the radio to the Skipper, "Uh... hello? Listen, can you give me your location? Are you on some kind of boat? Or are you on land?"
"My name is Ron Deters, I'm a coast guard."
"Oh... well... I'm a Skipper. I'd give you the name of the boat, but you probably never heard of it. Me and 6 other people were ship-wrecked on an island a while back. Can you help us?"
"Yes, I can. I can send a boat out right away. Do you know where you are?"
"Yeah... I think we're quite a bit off Hawaii," then he told the guy some numbers.
"I'll have somebody out there right away."
"Thank you!"

Back to Lucy...
"Lucy?" asked Ethel, "how DO you think we got here?"
"I don't know..."
"I'm beginning to think you might be right, about that guy. It's not logical, but it's the only--"
"Shhh," Lucy interrupted, "listen."
"To what," Ethel whispered.
"Quiet... Hear that? Voices! There's other people here. Let's go see."
"Lucy wait. What if we don't want to? I mean, what if we do, and then we wish we hadn't?"
"Ethel... are you scared? It's just people!"
"Well? Oh, alright."
"Now, come on."
They walked a little farther, toward the voices. When they got to where they could see the people who were talking, they hid behind some trees.
"Just think, we're finally getting off this island," said one to the other. (Skipper)
"Yeah! But don't tell anybody, yet. Let's surprise them at dinner tonight." (Professor)
"Okay--"
"Excuse me," Lucy said, coming out from behind the tree.
"Who are you?" asked Skipper.
"My name is Lucy Ricardo, and I was wondering if you knew how we got here," she said, motioning to Ethel.
"You? Sorry, I just know we've been here for a while."
"Oh... Okay..."
"Would like to have dinner with us?" asked Professor.
"You don't mind?"
"Course not."
"Okay! Ethel?"
"I'm in!!" said Ethel.

Later that night, at dinner. They served up a bunch of food, but Lucy hadn't seen much of THAT kind of food before. She looked over at Ethel, who was eating everything in sight. "Um... If you don't mind, I'm not very hungry. I think I'll just go for a walk."
"Okay," said Mary Anne, "but it might not be here when you get back." she said, motioning to Ethel.
"Oh... That's alright."

Lucy was just walking by the coast, when a boat rolled up. When it reached the shore, it docked, and some men got out.
"You the one who wanted to leave?"
"Leave? You know how we got here?"
"You said you were ship-wrecked. I don't know how that happened. But that's what you said."
"No. I KNOW we weren't ship-wrecked. But either way, we figured the way we got here, was probably the way back home. And we didn't get here by boat. Sorry, but I plan on leaving the same way I got here."
"Oh... Okay?"
The men got back in the boat. Lucy watched them pull away, then decided to head back to the 'others'. When she got there, they had finished eating, and just as Mary Anne had said, Lucy's food was gone. "Ethel," she said, "You know we didn't come here by boat, right. So, how could we be ship-wrecked?"
"What do you mean?" asked Ethel.
"There was a man in a boat, who asked if we wanted to leave."
"What did you say to him?" asked the Professor.
"I told him no. We didn't wanna' go home that way. If we just 'appeared' here, I think we just have to 'appear' back. When I told him that, he went away."
"You're kidding!" said Skipper.
"No... He was over there," Lucy pointed into the woods behind her.
"No..." yelled the Professor, Skipper, Gilligan, Ginger, Mary Anne, and Mr. and Mrs. Howell at the same time; all running in the direction Lucy pointed.
That's when Lucy figured out what the guy was talking about, "Oops..."


H. G. Wells, at the Ricardo apartment, was fiddling with the remote agian. He was trying to make so they could come back. "There," he said, "That should do it."
Then he pushed a button. He waited, but Lucy and Ethel didn't 're-appear' in the apartment. "Well, if they're not here..." he looked over at the 'window' screen. "Oh no," he said, as he stared in amazement. Lucy and Ethel were now somewhere in the 'Spring of 1995'...
