Parties
In most cases, Sandy was mild mannered and didn't speak harshly to those who she had problems with. Thats why she agreed to go to this party. The music was loud and Larry and his friends kept pestering her to come and dance. In the circumstances where one of them asked at the same time as another, they would get into a fight of sorts where they bragged about their muscles and tried to impress her. While they were preoccupied she would slip away to a corner. Sandy wasn't much for parties. She would rather be at her treedome experimenting with dangerous chemicals or having a session of karate with… Spongebob.
Spongebob. Her mind had been on him all night. She should have invited him. that way she wouldn't feel so alone. All these party pumped sea critters weren't making her feel very welcomed. If she could only have the sponge by her side now. His blue eyes and wide smile could keep her company all night. Maybe she could call him.
Sandy realized that Larry was approaching her again from the other side of the room. Shucks, it wasn't her fault that she was easy to find. She's wasn't exactly a fish after all. She slipped into the crowd a little further hoping to lose Larry. Sandy had only taken a few steps when she felt someone catch her arm. All of the sudden she was spinning and whirling in circles. Larry's strong claws whipped her around and around. Apparently this was what they called dancing. A catchy beach tune was playing in the background and all around there were couples dancing to the song. When the song was over she half heartedly thanked Larry for the dance and slipped back into her corner. She definitely had to call Spongebob.
Sandy whipped out her shell phone and dialed the number she knew all too well. After a couple of rings, Spongebob's voice came on.
"Hello?" said the cheerful sponge on the other end.
"Howdy, Spongebob," Sandy replied, "would y'all like to come to a party?"
"Oh, sure Sandy! Who's is it?" he inquired.
Sandy felt a little sheepish telling Spongebob the truth about who's party it was, but she really needed somebody right now.
"Oh, it's uh… it's Larry's party." She replied, slightly embarrassed.
"Oh," the tone in his cheerful voice had been taken down a notch or so at this comment.
Sandy quickly tried to mend the cheerfulness of the conversation.
"Please come. I could really use a laugh right now. Thats something you always seem to take care of. It would mean an awful lot to me."
The happiness in his voice had come back when he replied.
"I'll be there Sandy." he said with a voice that clearly stated that he was smiling ear to ear. Just thinking about that smile made Sandy feel good.
"Thanks Spongebob. This means an awful lot. I'll see you in a few minutes."
"You too Sandy. Thanks for inviting me." he replied in the same voice he had used before.
"Anytime Spongebob," Sandy was grateful that in a few minutes, she wouldn't feel alone anymore.
