The four of them had settled in. This TARDIS had bedrooms (Nyssa and Tegan shared one, while Mary Ann and Gilligan had adjoining ones just opposite Nyssa and Tegan's), a kitchen with a food dispenser (which showed that the Doctor was not the only Time Lord that favoured the planet Earth) , an extensive wardrobe, all the comforts of home. Gilligan was sitting in the kitchen, eating, when Mary Ann came in. "I see you've found the food dispenser," she said, once she saw the food. She pulled up a chair and joined him. "I suppose it even makes coconut cream pies."

"I don't know, Mary Ann, I never tried to have it make one for me," Gilligan said. "It wouldn't be as good as yours."

"Oh, Gilligan, you say the sweetest things," Mary Ann said, blushing slightly.

"Mary Ann, I was wondering..." Gilligan said and broke off. "What I mean is..."

Before he could get any further, Tegan came in and made herself a cup of coffee. "I hope I wasn't interrupting something," she said.

"Uh, no," Gilligan said quickly.

I wonder what he was going to say? Mary Ann thought.

"Well, I was just coming to tell you two that Nyssa and I have found something," Tegan said. Over the previous few days, the four of them had been exploring their new home, looking for items they could use.

"What it is, Tegan?" Mary Ann asked.

"It better if I show you. Come on."

Soon the four of them were in the console room. Nyssa was there, with a bunch of devices that looked like small black balls. "What are those?" Gilligan asked.

"They appear to be message drones," Nyssa said. "What I mean is that we can record messages on them, and send them through time and space."

"So we can send a message to the island," Mary Ann said. "Let them know we're okay."

"Yes, you can," Nyssa said. "Here how it works..."

OOOOOOOO

On Gilligan's Island...

The other castaways had been searching for days, but there had been no sign of Gilligan, Mary Ann, Nyssa and Tegan. They were gathered in the hut area, getting ready for another search, when a small black ball just appeared out of nowhere and hovered there. As the astonished castaways watched, the black ball emitted a holographic projection of Gilligan and Mary Ann.

"Hi everyone, I know you've probably been worried about us, but we're okay," Gilligan said.

"Here's what happened to us," Mary Ann said and recounted their adventures so far. "And that's it."

"We'll be back someday," Gilligan said. "I don't know when, but we will be back." With that, the two holograms faded away.

"God speed, little buddy," the Skipper said. "God speed."

OOOOOOOO

On the TARDIS...

"You think they got our message?" Gilligan asked.

"They should have," Nyssa said. "You did provide the spacial and temporal co-ordinates to your island."

"Are you two going to send a similar message to this Doctor?" Mary Ann asked.

"We already did," Tegan said. "However, we don't know where the Doctor is now, so our drone might take a long time to find him."

"Our message was like yours, telling the Doctor that we're okay and not to worry about us," Nyssa said.
