Gilligan
I looked all over the East side of the island, with not a sign of Mary Ann. I took a break to eat a banana and apple before looking some more on the north side. I hope I can find her before dark. I didn't bother to bring a flashlight or my matches to light a torch. I should have thought of that! Stupid, stupid!
After a half hour of searching the first half of the north side, I sat down to rest a little. If only I had kept my mouth shut, if only I told Mary Ann about my feelings.
"I'm such an idiot." I told myself, throwing a rock behind some bushes.
"Ouch!" Someone yelled. I got up and slowly walked to the bushes. I peered behind them, and found Mary Ann rubbing her leg. I slowly backed away and sat back down to think.
She might still hate me from what I said, so chances are she'll yell at me to go back to camp. If she's really pissed, she'll throw rocks at me and then yell at me to go back to camp. Well, here goes nothing. I grabbed my pack and walked into the clearing.
"Hey Mary Ann." She looked up at me, and her eyes darkened. Or, did they shine?
"Go back to camp Gilligan!" She wasn't throwing rocks at me, so that was a good thing.
"No Mary Ann. I'm here to try to get you to come back to camp. I'm sorry I said what I said. I was just in a bad mood." I told her.
"Apology not accepted. Now go back to camp." I sighed, and took my pack off.
"No Mary Ann. You have a cave for shelter, which is good. But do you have a place to store food and water? Do you know how to smoke fish to make it last longer? Do you know how to make lobster traps?" She bowed her head in defeat.
"We don't have to talk to each other, or we can talk things out. But until you go, I'm staying." With that, I set out to build a hut big enough to store food, and for me to sleep in.
Mary Ann
I can't believe he came looking for me! And on top of that, is not leaving till I do! Who does he think he is?
"The man you fell in love with." A voice in my head said.
"No, I don't love Gilligan." I whispered to myself. But I can't stop my heart from speeding up. I decided to take a nap to think things over. When I woke up, something good was cooking. I walked out to see Gilligan cooking up two lobsters, and he had finished the hut. He looked at me and brought over one of the lobsters. I took it with out a word, and sat down across from him. He sat back down and check on the other lobster. He turned it over and looked at me.
"Look, I'm really sorry for the harsh words I said. I'm...I'm just not good with girls." I didn't say anything as I continued to eat.
"We really miss you back at camp," he paused for a moment before speaking again, "I really miss you." That caused me to look up.
"No you don't. Your just saying that." I said, rather harshly. He sighed and rolled his lobster on his plate. He stood up and walked to the hut. He stopped at the door, and looked back at me.
"If I really didn't miss you, I wouldn't be here. You keep believing what will make you happy. But what you believe is wrong then." With that, he walked into the hut. I never thought Gilligan would say something that intelligent.
Maybe he's right. No he's not. He's here because the others sent him here. I left the fire still burning, and went back into my cave to sleep.
R&R!
