(In this story Spongebob will be in a situation where he is stuck in a relationship with someone, but wants to be with someone else. Sounds to me like he's got love troubles.)

Love Troubles

(Chapter One)

One afternoon crying is heard and everyone takes cover. It was Pearl; she had just gone through a bad break up and was making a scene. Spongebob being the nice guy that he was went over to her and started talking to her. Usually Pearl wouldn't even talk to him, but today was different.

"What's wrong Pearl?" Asked Spongebob.

"Oh… it's nothing Spongebob." Said Pearl as she continues to cry.

"It sure doesn't seem like nothing... Pearl you seem like you could use a friend. Do you want to talk about it? " Asked Spongebob.

"I don't know..." Said Pearl.

"Talking will make you feel better." Said Spongebob.

"Well… ok. It was my boyfriend, he broke up with me." Said Pearl.

"Oh… I'm sorry to hear about that. Why did he break up with you?" Asked Spongebob.

"I think he liked someone else… I don't get it, what am I doing wrong?" Asked Pearl as she started to cry again.

"Oh it's not you Pearl… it's those guys." Said Spongebob as he pats her shoulder.

"No I think it is me. Every time I get into a relationship I'm always the one that gets heartbroken. I don't think I'll ever find the right guy." Said Pearl. She cries even more.

"Sure you will. These things take time. You shouldn't give up just because a few relationships don't work out. You'll find the right guy Pearl… you just have to keep looking." Said Spongebob as he put his hand on her shoulder.

She stops crying and wipes her eyes, and then she looks at him. It was like her whole opinion on him had changed. She grabs him and pulls him into a hug.

"Thanks Spongebob." She said smiling as she hugged him.

"No problem." Said Spongebob blushing a little.

Then she runs off to her dad's office. Spongebob goes back into the kitchen to continue his work. Pearl talked to her dad.

"Hey Dad." Said Pearl smiling.

"Oh hey Pearl. I thought you were upset about something?" He said.

"Oh I was but I forgot all about it. I wanted to talk to you about it." Said Pearl.

"Ok." He said.

"Well at first I was upset about my boyfriend breaking up with me." Said Pearl.

"Ok, but why are you in a good mood now?" He asked.

"Well I was just talking to this really great guy. He's really sweet and he listened to what I had to say." Said Pearl.

"Ok." He said.

"He's a guy I didn't used to care for at all, but now… I think I love him… He is kind of cute." Said Pearl smiling.

"Wait a minute… don't even think about getting into a relationship without introducing me to him first." He said.

"Oh you know him Dad." Said Pearl.

"So it's a guy you've dated before?" He asked.

"Well no… but I still think you know him." Said Pearl.

"I'd still like to see him first." He said.

"You see him everyday… Dad I think I'm in love with Spongebob Squarepants." Said Pearl.

(Ok so this seems like a good spot to stop for now. Comments anyone?)
