IT'S A BIRD, IT'S A PLANE

Four left, this is making me sad. But I am glad to be finished and now the entire series has better endings, I think. I still need ideas for the rescue movie. Don't put them here but please PM me if you know any more about the Howells, the Professor, Ginger and Skipper's back story. I'd like to finish this and then I don't know what I'd do for GI. Guess I am no longer useful on this site. Oh, well, I hope you have enjoyed these tags and Gilligan's silly misspelled diary entries. Oh, I just had to destroy the jet pack. Come on, everything blows up so why can't a jetpack? We had a shuttle and briefcase blow up!

"Gilligan, wait!"

Gilligan shook his head. "Don't worry, Professor, I haven't forgotten one single thing you told me about the jetpack. Not one single, solitary thing!" he exclaimed.

Gilligan then hit the start button and the jetpack sailed off without him before Mary Ann, the Skipper or the Professor could grab it.

"Except to buckle it on!" he added, sheepishly.

"Nice going, Gilligan!" the Skipper said, angrily.

"Skipper - give me a boost…" Gilligan suggested.

The Skipper nodded. "Certainly… Give you a boost? I'll give you a boost" he said realizing just how stupid Gilligan's idea was, and he smacked Gilligan with his hat. "Professor - is there any way to recover that thing?" he asked.

Roy Hinkley shrugged. "Without anyone steering it, should return go straight up and down and return to us, but I doubt it'll be very useful anymore."

Gilligan sighed. "I'm sorry, I just wanted to make up for my goof with the clouds, and since I was only one who could go up… I guess I just forgot the buckle," he said.

The Skipper glared at him and Mary Ann moved to protect Gilligan.

"Oh, don't be so hard on him Skipper; at least he tried to do the right thing!"

The Captain sighed. He knew there was never any way he could yell at the young farm girl.

"You're right, Mary Ann…. keep a lookout for it Gilligan. Maybe that'll keep you out of trouble!" walked off muttering and mumbling to himself.

The Professor shrugged. "Tell us if it lands back down Gilligan," he said.

Gilligan nodded. "Can I still fly in it?" he asked.

The Professor shook his head. "I don't know. Just tell me if you spot it," he instructed, and walked away.

Gilligan smiled at Mary Ann. "Thanks for covering for me, Mary Ann; I guess I'm still useless."

Mary Ann smiled. "You're human Gilligan, we'll get rescued eventually," she answered, always the positive-thinking castaway.

Gilligan nodded. He sat down and waited for the jetpack to return. Soon he fell asleep, but awoke to a loud splash. It had to be the jet pack landing! He had reached the lagoon when suddenly the jet pack made a loud buzzing noise and blew up.

"Whoa"!" the first mate yelled and took cover - blocking his face. Professor and Skipper had come back to check on him and now hurried to their friend.

"Is it just me or does everything blow up on us?" Gilligan asked, still a bit dazed.

"I'm just glad you're all right, little buddy!" the Skipper said.

Gilligan nodded. He stood but his step faltered. "Yeah just a bit dizzy" he said and was immediately picked up by the Skipper.

"Come on, let's get you into bed and forget that jetpack" he said, and carried Gilligan to their hut.

Gilligan stretched out and took out his diary to write before going to sleep to clear his pounding head.
