Gilligan

I wish she would stop thinking the others sent me to find her. I came to find her to apologise, and to see if I can mend our friendship. But I can only hope that I can. If not, then I'll keep trying.

As I walk into the water, I feel at home. I always felt comfortable around the seas and oceans. It makes me feel happy and wish I was a kid again. I took a deep breath before diving into the water. I saw a school of fish swimming close by. I stabbed my spear in front of me and hit a fish. It was still wiggling. Oh boy, that's not good. Sharks are known in these areas. Big sharks, like Great Whites and Hammer Heads.

I started to look around for any sharks and slowly started to swim toward shore. I was always looking around, fearing a shark will come out of the blue. Suddenly, a Hammer Head circled around me. Oh boy, this is really bad. And what's worse, I'm running out of air! Oh, why oh why is it always me to have the bad things happen.

I know I have to act quickly and safely in order not to intimidate an attack. I looked around real quick before rising to the surface to take in a quick breath and dove back down. He was still circling me, closer this time. I was still swimming backwards towards land. Then, it vanished into the blue. Oh boy, not good. Not good at all. When a shark does that, it means two things. One, it's swimming away to search for bigger food. Or two, it's going to circle about again, and come even closer to me. I slowly surfaced again, took another deep breath and dove back down.

While I was thinking of what the shark will do, I felt a bump on my leg, and I froze. If it's the shark, I'm dead. If it's not, I maybe alive after this. I slowly turned around, and saw a piece of coral poking my leg. I felt relieved, and slowly turned back around to face the deep blue sea. Right as the Hammer Head circled close to my leg.

Mary Ann

He's been gone for long time. Even though I can't make up my mind about loving Gilligan or not, I am starting to worry about him. Should I go and look for him? I might as well. If he's not going to leave, then we may as well have each others back.

I put on some warm clothes and started for the sea. While walking, I started to think. I don't know of what, but just thinking. About my dreams, about the farm in Kansas, and about Gilligan. I was thinking of so many things, I walked into the shallows. I stepped back in the sand and looked out across the horizon. I saw nothing except blue ocean, white puffy clouds, and a shark's fin. SHARK'S FIN!

Oh no. If Gilligan's out there, he maybe in deep trouble. Oh, I don't know what to do! There are never any hark attacks in Kansas. Quickly, I dove in the water, hoping to find Gilligan. This doesn't mean I forgive him, but we need to have each others backs, one way or another. I swam about forty yards, and found Gilligan fighting to stay away from a Hammer Head shark. It seemed as though the shark would just leave him alone. Then, it attacked.

It circled him, bumped his leg, and bit him. He muffled the scream, but I knew he was badly hurt. I managed to swim over to him, and kicked the shark a few times. It got the hint and swam quickly away, but the damage is horrifying. Gilligan was bleeding badly, and if I didn't help him, he would die. Wither we're on good terms or not, I have to help him.

I grabbed his shirt, and started swimming towards the shore. I kept looking behind me for anymore sharks. I know that they can smell blood miles away. Good news is that no other sharks around. The bad news is Gilligan is losing a lot of blood, and the shark bit is huge. But he is surprisingly calm, talking to me.

"Know what I remember that made me feel guilty of the things I said, and how I acted? Seeing a carving in a tree saying "Mary Ann loves Gilligan." I was going to put in that very same tree 'Gilligan loves Mary Ann.' Funny huh?" Oh, why does he have to bring that carving up? And what really hurts is that he said he loves me! I can't have any thoughts about that right now. I have to get Gilligan's leg bandaged up.

If I get a review or two, I'll update tonight. Read and review.
