SO SORRY, MY ISLAND NOW
The three men watched as the small submarine went around in circles.. Gilligan felt pleased as he showed the others he also stole the guy's glasses.
"Maybe we should get him, Skipper?" Professor suggested, when suddenly the sub slowed and went straight, straight out toward the open sea.

"How did he do that, Skipper?" Gilligan asked, stunned. He took off the soldier's thick glasses, and watched their second visitor vanish. Dejected, he threw the glasses down, and once the submarine was completely gone from view, he plopped onto the sand. "I'm sorry, Skipper! For once I thought I did something right! I took his gun, the keys and his glasses, and he still got away," Gilligan muttered, feeling badly.

Skipper smiled at the Professor, and knelt next to his friend. Together, the two men hoisted Gilligan up.

"Hey!" Gilligan objected, but it was no use. He folded his arms and pouted.

"It wasn't your fault he got away — he probably carried extra glasses in the sub, in case he broke a pair," the Professor said.

Gilligan nodded, but still had his arms folded. "Still, I thought we were finally going to leave... I know I could have sailed that tub, Skipper. I'm sorry," Gilligan apologized
again.

"Gilligan, if it weren't for you, the others would still be in those cages. You're a hero, little buddy," the Skipper said, proudly. He put his arm around Gilligan and the three walked back to camp. "Now, I want you to stop apologizing, and that's an order," he added sternly, as they walked, and Gilligan saluted him.

At camp, Mary Ann finished setting the table for dinner. She was placing her pie and placed it in the middle of the table just as the men showed up.

"By the looks on your faces, I'm guessing were here another night," she greeted them. She then smiled fondly at Gilligan. "Don't look so glum! I made this pie for you, Gilligan, you're our hero!" Mary Ann told him, and then rushed over to hug him. Gilligan grabbed his hat to keep it from falling as Mary Ann grabbed him tightly.

"Mary Ann — please!" he said, and tried to get away. "Skipper, help!" he yelled, as Mary Ann chased him.

"Ginger, help me get him! I want to thank him for rescuing us from that horrible Japanese soldier," Mary Ann yelled to her roommate as she came out of their hut.

Gilligan was captured and smothered with kisses, which he tried to wipe off.

"Yuck!" he exclaimed, and Mary Ann giggled.

"Okay, Gilligan, come on — eat up before the pie gets too cold," she said, and gently took his hand and led him to a seat. She then sat and spoon-fed him the pie, giggling while she worked. "You're so cute," she murmured, and Gilligan blushed, but ate every bite of the pie.
