The two Thermians were then standing on the shore of a tropical lagoon. A young man dressed in Khaki and Red crowned with an upside sailors cap was fishing. The two Galaxy Quest officers recognized him right away.
Teb said excitedly, "By Grabthar's Hammer, it's Gilligan."
Upon hearing his name, Gilligan looked up. He was so surprised by the sight of the two Thermians, he dropped his fishing pole. The mate of the Minnow then started running through the jungle.
"Aliens! Help, Aliens!" Gilligan cried out, running.
The Mathesar and Teb then realized that they had transformed to their true forms while transporting through the Keeper of the Historical Records. The two quickly changed back into their human forms.
Mathesar started after Gilligan, calling out, "Wait, Gilligan!"
Teb stopped his superior by saying, "Commander, we cannot risk being seen by any others. Remember he are here because Desing altered the time frame."
Mathesar stopped, Teb was right. Teb went on, "We appear to be in the historical record, forgive me, television show Gilligan's Island."
The commander thought a minute and ordered, "Teb, help me with these logs, boulders, seaweed, and coconuts, then lets find a hiding place."
Gilligan entered the compound shouting, "Aliens! Aliens!"
Gilligan wasn't watching where he was going, and knocked over a small table next to Mr. Howell's chair. The umbrella sailed out of the concoction the millionaire was sipping and landed squarely behind the Skippers ear.
"Watch it," Growled Mr. Howell.
The Skipper barked, "Slow down, Gilligan! That could have ended up in my eye!"
Forgetting his panic a minute, Gilligan said, "Sorry, Skipper." Then Gilligan got the giggles.
The Skipper asked, "What's so funny?"
Gilligan answered, "You look like an extra in Ginger's movie Hula Girls from Oahu."
Ginger sultrily asked the Skipper, "Do you want a lei?"
Mrs. Howell joined in with, "I might have a mu-mu."
Wanting to change the subject, the Skipper asked Gilligan, "What is this about aliens?"
Gilligan remembered his panic and shouted, "Aliens by the lagoon, aliens by the lagoon!" Gilligan then started heading toward the lagoon, with the other six castaways in tow. Nobody else thought there were aliens, but it's not like there was much else to do on the small island they were stranded on.
While following his little buddy, the Skipper asked the Professor, "Do you think Gilligan has finally snapped?"
The Professor replied, "I wouldn't worry too much. It could be Gilligan's active imagination coupled with the heat wave we are having. Its not necessarily a sign of mental illness."
Mary Ann added, "Can you imagine how boring it would be around here without Gilligan's imagination?"
Mr. Howell agreed, "The boy does have a tendency to make the time go by quicker."
The seven looked around the lagoon. Almost to everyone's disappointment, the Professor solved the mystery rather quickly.
"Gilligan, what did your aliens look like?" the Professor asked.
Gilligan answered, "Slimy and oozing, with tentacles and beaks."
The Professor pointed out two piles of kelp surrounded by debris washed up on the shore and said, "Something like that?"
Gilligan was insistent, "They were real!"
The Professor explained, "I'm sure it was real in your mind Gilligan, but your brain played tricks on you because of the heat and that wonderful imagination of yours."
Mary Ann said, "Try to stay out of the heat."
Skipper ordered, "And no more comic books."
The other six walked back to camp while Gilligan examined the kelp piles. They sure did seem like aliens.
