"I love you." Ginger said as she draped her arms over the Professor from behind as they sat on the bed. She began kissing his ear. "I love you so much." Her breathy voice whispered.

He turned his head kissing her soft lips. "I love you too my beautiful starlet." He said to her. "You feeling better now?" The Professor asked as he buttoned up his blue shirt.

Ginger grinned and kissed him again. "You always make me feel better. I couldn't have gotten through being on that island without your brilliant mind." She rested her head against him. "I don't know what we would have done without you. I'm glad you were on the Minnow."

"I was glad to be on the Minnow." He said taking her hand in his and kissing it.

The movie star climbed out from behind him and sat down right beside him cuddling up close. "I meant what I said before I will never doubt your love for me. I was stupid to even have any doubts."

"It's alright my love." He said putting his arm around her. "I know it's not easy dealing with all these vicious rumors and gossip. Just remember one thing…and that thing is that I have…"

"Never shown the slightest romantic interest in Mary Ann." They both said.

"It's true. Even when she thought she was you."

Ginger giggled. "Well I wouldn't say she was exactly like me. I think she was a little more aggressive than I ever would be. I don't do love scenes like that."

"I know my love." He said. "That's one of the reasons I sent Gilligan to go be with her that time. I did not want to get wrangled into having to do any love scene that didn't involve the real you."

"I wasn't a very convincing Mary Ann was I?" Ginger smiled.

"You did the best you could." The Professor stated. "However seeing you in those boring clothes..I didn't care too much for that. I liked you better in your sexy slinky gowns. And that hot pink tropical number. Also the way you would wear your hair up. All I wanted to do was kiss your elegant soft neck."

"Darling I don't know what was stopping you…" She purred nuzzling him. "I wouldn't have complained…You should have known that…especially the first time you nuzzled me." She brought her lips to his again and it almost started up again before the Professor broke away.

Ginger reluctantly got up and pulled on a white cotton dress. She then sat down and brushed her hair. Her eyes watched her fiancée finish dressing. How handsome he was. How silly of her to think another woman could ever turn his head. Roy Hinkley was all hers. She could not wait until it was official! Her thoughts were interrupted by the ringing phone. Ginger picked up the white receiver of the elegant antique phone. "Hello?"

"Sis it's me. How are you? What is going on? I just got back to town and I saw this garbage all over the news!"

"It's okay Jess." Ginger assured. "Just someone trying to start trouble. Everything is fine."

"I heard they let you go from the movie…Is that true?" Jessica asked with a worried expression in her blue eyes.

"They did." Ginger explained. "But after we set the story straight they hired me back."

"I'm glad." The older Grant sister said with relief. "I hope this is the end of it. I'm so sick of people talking trash about you."

"You are not the only one." Ginger said. "I'm fed up with it too but it's part of the business. But I'll be fine. I have my darling Roy." She smiled at him as he adjusted the sleeves on his shirt.

Jessica smiled on the other end. "I'm glad. Now on to more pleasant things. How is the wedding planning going? Is your dress finished yet?"

"It's going great and yes Monica did finish up my gown. I go for a fitting soon. And I picked out the bridesmaid dresses."

Jessica wrinkled her nose. "They are some hideous pink color aren't they?"

Ginger laughed. "Of course not. They are a hideous green color with a giant bow on the back…"

"Funny." Jessica said sarcastically.

"You can relax. They are beige with a floral pattern you will love it. Trust me. I ordered a different gown for Mary Ann though. I wanted my maid of honor to stand out a bit."

"Oh what does her gown look like?"

"It's close to the others ones except its more of an off white color with a floral pattern."

"Can't wait to see them. Listen I gotta go. We need to have lunch sometime. I'll call you."

"Okay we'll do. Bye now." Ginger hung up the phone.

It was nice being able to talk to her sister again. She had missed her a great deal being stranded on that island. Many times Ginger has wished she could have picked up the phone and called her telling her all about the Professor. At least she had Mary Ann. That helped a great deal. Mary Ann. A wonderful sister. No they were not blood related but that did not matter. She still thought of her as her little sister.

Ginger felt stupid for thinking that Mary Ann would…with her darling Roy….how ridiculous to think such things! Mary Ann wanted Gilligan from the moment they set sail on the Minnow. And Mary Ann always looked at the young sailor with love in her eyes.
Well she was not going to let that gossip get to her anymore. Roy Hinkley belong her to Ginger Grant and William Gilligan belonged to Mary Ann Summers. That's how it was.

The redhead turned to her love. "Roy where should we go for our honeymoon?"

He thought a minute. "How about some tropical island where you are forced to wear sexy two piece bathing suits…."

Ginger giggled. "Professor! Really! Be serious."

"I am serious." He said walking over to her. "In fact how about we head back to that island and it's just you and me…" His voice faded as he kissed her neck.

"Roy…" Ginger squealed. "Stop that…" She gently pushed him away. "I don't want to be on an island. I've had enough of that for a long time. How about Paris or Venice maybe Portofino….or beautiful Puglia…"

"Wherever you wish my love." He said kissing the top of her head. "Why don't you call your travel agent and get some ideas for some places."

"Okay I will." She replied. Ginger then smiled. "You realize that it won't be long before we are husband and wife. Less than three months."

"57 days 10 hours 45 minutes 20 seconds."

"I wish it was only 20 seconds." She grinned at him.

"You will make it through." He assured.

Ginger sighed. "I suppose." She stood up and they headed out of the bedroom and made their way down the stairs.

The pair made their way outside to where the pool was. Ginger smiled thinking of how before she was on the island she did not know how to swim. When the raft sunk she was terrified because she couldn't swim and latched onto the Professor. He kept her calm and helped her paddle back to shore.
It was after that that Mary Ann and Gilligan helped her learn to swim. It scared her at first but Gilligan was a wonderful teacher and Mary Ann helped calm her fears.
After a few lessons, she really got the hang of it and became an excellent swimmer.
Now she really could swim in her own pool with ease. She enjoyed swimming very much and thought it was excellent exercise. Really worked her muscles.

It was amazing how much those people she was stranded with touched her life. Of course her Roy was the most amazing. They sat down on a chaise lounge chair enjoying the night sky filled with bright stars.

The Professor held his redheaded love close to him. He was glad this ordeal was over. Never again did he want to see his Ginger in tears. He was not going to stand for it.
She was going to be happy all the time. At least he would attempt to keep her happy all the time. He knew that the house he had purchased would help. It was really coming along and the Professor could not wait to see the look on her face when she saw it.
She was going to be ecstatic. Especially when she saw the special room that was to be a nursery. Ginger was going to have the baby she wanted. There was no question about that. He imagined her holding the bundle in her arms with love in her eyes. No one could be a better mother for his children than this redheaded beauty.

"Darling." Ginger said. "What about you? What are you going to do about a job? You going to call your old employer?"

"I suppose I will. I did enjoy working there." He said.

The two heard someone coming towards them and they sat up.

"Hi!" A cheerful voice said. "It's just me Barbara!"

Ginger smiled. "Hello there."

"I tried ringing the bell but no one answered so I thought I would check around back here. Hope I'm not interrupting anything." She grinned.

Roy rolled his eyes. "No Barbara we were just sitting here."

Ginger laughed. And the Professor was not amused. "What brings you here?" He asked of his friend.

"Well." Barbara said sitting on an adjacent chair. "I was thinking about how we are both now unemployed. And I thought it was a grand opportunity."

"Grand opportunity?" The Professor asked. "For what?"

"Start our own business." Barbara smiled.

"What?" He said bewildered.

"We could do this!" The blonde exclaimed. "I know a perfect location and I already lined up an investor."

"You did? Who?"

"Thurston Howell III." She grinned.

Ginger smiled. "That dear man." She said. "How wonderful."

"I pitched him my idea about a fragrance company. How great would it be for us to create our own thing and not have to answer to anyone?"

The Professor was intrigued. "Sounds interesting. When did you come up with this idea?"

"Well." Barbara said. "It was something I have thought about for a long time and I thought what a perfect time to implement it. So are you on board?"

"I have to say it does sound great." The Professor said. "Running our own company…that would be quite a task."

"Yes it would." Barbara agreed. "But I think it would be a success. I mean we have tons of experience we know what sells and what doesn't. Roy I really think we can do this."

Ginger spoke. "Darling I think you should do it. It's a great opportunity and you should take it."

Roy thought a minute. "I have never done anything like this before. It will be a challenge but…Okay I'm on board."

Barbara smiled. "Great! You won't regret it. You'll see."

"I will take your word for that." The Professor replied.

"Let's get together later this week and I will tell you the ideas I have."

"Sounds good."

Barbara stood up. "Nice seeing you again Ginger."

"You too." She smiled.

"Just one thing Roy. When Ginger comes to visit you for a passionate make out session, make sure you have a signal on your door so I know…"

"You should get out of here while you are still dry." He said.

"Still dry?" Barbara said blankly.

"The pool is right over there and if you make one more remark you will be in it."

Barbara stuck her tongue out and scurried away.

Ginger laughed and the Professor gave her a look. "Something amusing?"

"You are so cute when you get all tough…."

He placed a kiss on her lips and held her tight.

They were silence for a few minutes before he spoke again. "Ginger you really think starting the business with Barbara is a good idea?"

"I do. Roy you should take the risk. It will be pay off I know it. You are brilliant. You can make anything. All those perfumes and lotions you made for me on the island…I know you can do it."

"Looks like we came a long way from being on that island. I'm starting my own business. You are writing your own movie….Amazing."

"It is." Ginger agreed. "It most certainly is." How a three hour trip could change the lives of seven people was remarkable.

Ginger smiled. "Roy…what do you think our children will be like?"

He kissed her again. "I'm pretty sure any daughter we have will be just like you."

"Just like me?"

"Beautiful and talented. Probably will want to be a big star just like you. I could see a mini redhead singing and dancing about our home."

"Maybe we will have a son who is just like you. Brilliant and handsome totally oblivious to females vying for his attention…."

"Hey…" The Professor protested.

"Will need a beautiful stunning woman to show him what romance is all about when some stuck up rich snooty woman tries to sink her claws….Roy…" She squealed as he tickled her ribs. "Stop that…"
Ginger squirmed from his hands.

"My love if our son ever met someone like you I think I will have to warn him about seductive redheads and what they can lure you into doing."

"Like carrying heavy rocks?"

"And going into a cave to look for eleven dollars worth of quartz."

"You did it because you love me." Ginger said pointedly.

"I most certainly did." He replied. "I would do anything for you."

"Likewise." The movie star said.
