The Ocean and the Moon.

Hello all and thanks for reading! I find that this archive is sorely lacking in one of the most romantic Shippings on Gilligan's island. And I have created here a collection of connected drabbles, that are sweet and fulfilling. Enjoy, and R&R! Also, each drabble will be dedicated to a fellow MAP pioneer.

tvjunkie: this one's to you for being the first K+ MAP-er!

Drabble one : Sleeping Beauty

"Mary Ann, Mary Ann, Wake up. Mary Ann?" The Professor stood over Mary Ann's sprawled form at the table. Her head rested on a basket of Laundry.

He knew how hard she'd been working this past week for Ginger's birthday and he loathed to wake her, but he couldn't leave her outside.

"Mary Ann, wake up dear." Her gently shook her arm. Mary Ann sighed and shifted, but still slept. The Professor uselessly looked around, and ignoring the loud thump of his heart beat, he realized he would have to carry her. Haltingly, he went to lift her over his shoulder, then stopped.

Mary Ann's gingham was awfully short. Instead, the Professor rested her neck in the crook of his elbow and carried her bride style into her bed.

She looked lovely lying there in the moonlight with her dark hair crowing around her face. Those pretty long eyelashes almost kissing her cheeks, and soft smile that painted her lips.

"Oh that I had the courage." He muttered mournfully, and wrenching himself away, he slipped back out into the cool evening air. The moment may have been perfect, but Roy was a man of scruples.

And when he kissed Mary Ann, he wanted her to be able to kiss back.
