Six months have now passed since Nyssa and Tegan arrived on the island. The two of them are sunbathing at the lagoon, where Gilligan and Mary Ann find them.
"Hi Nyssa, hi Tegan," Gilligan said as he and Mary Ann sat down next to them.
"Lunch will be ready soon," Mary Ann said.
"Thank you, we'll be right there," Tegan replied.
"Will there be coconut cream pie afterwards?" Nyssa asked.
"Yes, there will. I made two of them," Mary Ann said.
"Wow, Nyssa, you like coconut cream pies as much as I do. Of course, they have Mary Ann's special touch," Gilligan said.
"Oh, Gilligan," Mary Ann said as she blushed slightly.
When are those two going to stop dancing around the issue and admit that they like each other? Tegan thought. In the six months she'd been here on the island, she had come to see the signs.
"It's also kind of an anniversary," Gilligan said.
"Anniversary?" Tegan asked.
"Yeah, it's now been six months since you and Nyssa got here."
"Has it been that long?" Tegan said.
"Yes, Tegan, it has," Nyssa replied. "I think we may have to accept that we may be here for a long time."
"Well, Nyssa, if that's the case, then there are worst places I think we could be," Tegan said. "Still..."
"Yes, what is it, Tegan?" Nyssa asked.
"Where the heck has the Doctor been all this time?" Tegan wondered.
