Omg I can't believe it's been two years since I wrote this story. Well, if any reader who was interested is out there, I am still alive and wanting to finish this.

"Well…." Mrs. Howell began and paused. "Oh please Mrs. Howell don't leave us hanging!" Mary Ann begged.

The kindly old rich woman smiled at the younger woman. "I'm sorry Mary Ann, I just don't know how to explain just how awful those people were" she replied.

"Oh, Mrs. Howell, you and Mr. Howell really didn't have to throw out your friends…" Skipper cried and Mrs. Howell snorted.

"Friends!" She cried out and then laughed like it was the funniest joke in the world.

When her laughter died she reached out and grasped the Skipper's hand fondly.

"Skipper, I may have been one of those "people" before our first shipwreck, but I have grown and I never have or will regret it…I really do know who my true friends are and I'd rather have all of you then any of those vermin any day" she said sincerely.

Skipper smiled fondly at her gently squeezed her hand lovingly. "Thank you Mrs. Howell…we do appreciate you standing up for us…right little Buddy?" he replied.

Gilligan nodded. "Oh of course skipper…I guess being riff and raff isn't good then" he answered.

The Howells and Skipper shook their heads simultaneously. "It's one word my boy, and no, what those people said absolutely disgusted me…I agree wholeheartedly with my wife…I may not always enjoyed being shipwrecked but I have never stopped enjoying our beautiful friendships with my fellow castaways" Mr. Howell said kindly to the first mate.

"I am so confused…what exactly happened when the Skipper and Gilligan visited with you two?" Ginger asked.

The four blinked at their three friends and realized no one really explained the Howell's story.

"Oh right…I am sorry again…" Mrs. Howell said. She cleared her throat and smiled at the three. "You see, Thurston and I of course went home as all of you and immediately invited over…vermin I suppose is the best word now for them" she began.

"Then Skipper and I visited to get the two to sign Skipper's paper and Mrs. Howell left her intercom on and Skipper and I were being called Riff and Raff and bozo's and so the Howell's kicked everyone but us out" Gilligan interrupted.

"Yes Gilligan…but you shouldn't interrupt" Mrs. Howell replied and Gilligan blushed at the reprimand.

"Sorry" he said. "It's all right, but I believe that's pretty much our tale…I suppose now you two are right…we have come to enjoy this island so much we may as well be buried in it" she replied.

"I suppose that is our fate now, but least we had one last look at the world we left behind" Professor agreed."Does that mean it's your turn Professor or mine?" Ginger asked.

Professor beckoned to her. "I am a gentleman Ginger, ladies first" he replied.
