Chapter Three Scene One
The next morning found Mary Ann up early, fixing breakfast as usual. She hadn't gotten much sleep the night before. Ginger had come back in late and hadn't tried to be quiet, waking Mary Ann. Mary Ann wondered where she had been all that time. But this morning she felt happy and content, though she and Ginger hadn't spoken, and the mood in their hut was tense.
Gilligan was also awake and getting ready for his morning chores. He hadn't gotten any sleep at all. He had no experience with girls whatsoever, and he was confused by some of his new feelings. Everytime he had tried to go to sleep, all he could think about was how it had felt to kiss Mary Ann, how warm she was, and how she had looked at him so lovingly. He was also astonished to find that, knowing how she felt about him, he had a little more confidence in himself. Though he was tired this morning, he felt like he could deal with just about anything and anybody.
Mary Ann heard Gilligan coming into the clearing where she was cooking breakfast, and she turned to meet him with a bright smile. "Good morning, Gilligan." She felt a little shy with him this morning, in the daylight, but she gave him a gentle kiss on the cheek.
"Morning, Mary Ann." They had spent a lot of time kissing the night before, but he was still too nervous to just grab her and kiss her, though this is what he wanted to do. They stood there smiling at each other until they heard the Skipper coming down the path. Mary Ann hurriedly turned back to her cooking, and Gilligan busied himself getting buckets to fetch the morning water.
"Good morning, Mary Ann." Mary Ann smiled hello at the Skipper but kept her attention on her cooking. The Skipper watched the two of them--he sensed that something was going on, but he wasn't sure what it was. "Gilligan", Skipper said in his 'I'm-trying-to-be-patient-but-I'm-getting-exasperated' tone of voice, "you forgot to wash your face. You still have lipstick on your cheek."
"No, I washed my face, Skipper." Mary Ann blushed and stirred the food faster. "I'm going to go get water now. See you at breakfast." He hurried off before the Skipper could say anything else.
The Skipper turned to Mary Ann, who was trying to look busy. "Um, Mary Ann...", he said, not sure how to broach the subject. "Is something going on? Gilligan came in last night with lipstick on his face, but all he told me was that gentlemen don't kiss and tell. I mean....."
Mary Ann interrupted him quickly. "Skipper. Ladies don't kiss and tell either." She hurried away to set the table, leaving the poor Skipper more confused than ever.
Scene Two
Gilligan filled the water buckets, thinking about Mary Ann and all that had happened. He knew the Skipper was dying to know what was going on, but he didn't feel right telling him. He was so happy that he wanted to tell everyone, but he was just insecure enough to think Mary Ann might want to keep things quiet--maybe she would be embarrassed by him. He turned to head back to camp and there was Ginger, wearing that look he knew all too well.
"Hello, Gilligan."
"Uh, hi Ginger. Ready for breakfast?" He tried to go around her but, as usual, she was too quick for him. He started backing up, trying to keep her from putting her arms around his neck. He would have welcomed a tree or anything else to run into and knock himself out.
"Mary Ann tells me you told her you like her on your little walk last night...don't you like me, Gilligan?"
"Uh...well, Ginger...uh...", she had him backed up to the water now, and it was tempting to just fall in and get away, but he suddenly decided to stand his ground.
"I can make you forget her...", she tightened her grip on his neck and kissed him. Gilligan was surprised to finally discover something--being kissed by someone who truly likes you and wants to kiss you is completely different from being kissed by someone who only wants something from you. He took hold of her upper arms and pushed her away (I'd pay money to see that on the show!!!)
"No!" he told her sternly. Ginger was astonished. She was used to using her wiles and getting her way whenever she wanted, especially with Gilligan. "That's enough, Ginger! I do like Mary Ann...as a matter of fact, I...I love her!" The words were out before he even realized it. "So leave me alone!" He stormed past her and headed back to camp.
He came into the clearing where the others had gathered for breakfast. Mary Ann was nowhere to be seen. "Where's Mary Ann?", he asked.
"I saw the dear girl run into her hut a few minutes ago. It looked like she was crying", Mrs. Howell told him.
"Uh oh." Gilligan realized she must have seen just enough of the scene with Ginger to get the wrong idea.
Scene Three
"Mary Ann, please let me in", Gilligan called, knocking on the door of Mary Ann's hut.
"Go away, Gilligan!" He could hear her crying.
"Mary Ann?" She didn't answer him this time, so he opened the door and went in. She was lying on her bed, facing away from him, trying to wipe the tears from her face. "Mary Ann?" He went over and sat down on the edge of her bed.
"I came to find you to tell you breakfast was ready. And I saw you kissing Ginger", she started crying all over again.
"But I didn't kiss her, she kissed me." He hesitantly put his hand on her arm. "Please believe me."
Mary Ann took a deep breath and sat up and faced him. "I believe you", she said shakily. "I know how Ginger is. But it just hurt so much to see you with her." She suddenly grabbed him around the neck in a strong hug, and he hugged her back. "I guess I still just feel so insecure next to her", she said against his shoulder. "When I saw you two kissing, I guess I thought...well, that maybe she could take you away from me."
"But you left before I told her to leave me alone", he told her. She pulled back from his shoulder and looked into his face.
"You told her to leave you alone?", she asked, somewhat unbelievingly.
"Yeah--she seemed kinda surprised."
Mary Ann suddenly smiled and kissed him. He kissed her back, happy that maybe things were going to be OK. A few minutes went by before they realized they were sitting on her bed and kissing. They suddenly felt awkward.
"Uh, maybe I'd better go get some breakfast", Gilligan said, standing up and backing toward the door. He turned and almost ran headfirst into the wall, but stopped himself. A first!
"I need to wash my face," Mary Ann still had tearstreaks down her cheeks. She walked over to him and touched his lips with her fingers. "And you'd probably better wash your face, too. The poor Skipper is confused enough", she laughed. Gilligan smiled and headed out the door.
Mary Ann was sitting in front of her mirror when she heard a small cough from the doorway. She turned and saw Ginger standing there.
"Uh, Mary Ann. I'm...sorry for what I tried to do." Ginger came into the room and sat down. Mary Ann decided to hear her out--she wasn't used to apologies from Ginger.
"I was so angry at you for what you said last night. I guess I was also a little mad that you have someone and I don't--even if it is Gilligan," she saw the look on Mary Ann's face and quickly backtracked. "Sorry", she said again.
"Well, we both said some things last night that we shouldn't have", Mary Ann was willing to forgive and forget. "Just please, stay away from Gilligan!"
"Oh, don't worry...he doesn't want to have anything to do with me. As a matter of fact, he told me he's in love with you. And besides, last night when I was out, I ran into the Professor and things got a little interesting." She laughed seductively. "I just may have the man I want after all." (There ya go, Julie, LOL.)
Mary Ann had heard none of this last part. "Gilligan told you he's in love with me?"
"Yes--he just kind of blurted it out. Has he not told you?" Mary Ann shook her head. "Maybe he's still too shy", Ginger finished.
A few minutes later, Mary Ann walked back into the clearing. Gilligan was standing beside the fire, getting his breakfast, and the others were still gathered around the table, talking and finishing their meal. Mary Ann walked up to Gilligan, grabbed him around the neck and kissed him. Poor Gilligan was totally unprepared for this kiss--it was much more passionate than before. All he could do was just stand there, dumbfounded. Mary Ann finished the kiss, smiled up at him, and turned to the others, who were staring at her. "Is there any breakfast left for me?", she asked, walking toward them, leaving Gilligan standing by the fire, trying to regain his senses.
