Random Acts of Spongebob
(This is a collection inspired by the Best Day Ever Shorts called A Random Act of Spongebob. This will follow the format the shorts being only a few seconds long so each chapter will be quite short. Some chapters will be short while others will be a bit longer. With that said, hope you enjoy!)
Chapter 1: Lily's Present
One morning at his pineapple, Spongebob was busy dusting off his house when he could hear something coming from the Easter Island house next door, so he looked out the window to see Squidward pacing back and forth like he was thinking about something. Seeing the calendar behind him, Spongebob stretched one of his eyes out to have a look at it and he saw that Squidward had drawn a circle around a particular date, which was today. "No wonder Squidward's so worked up. Today's Lily's birthday and he needs to get her a present!" Spongebob said with a bright smile crossing his face upon figuring out what Squidward's issue was. He then stretched his eye back and then looked down to figure out what to do about this. After a few seconds, he suddenly smiled and snapped his fingers as an idea crossed his mind.
"I know! I'll save Squidward the trouble and buy a present that he can give to Lily. The only question is: what to buy her?" Spongebob asked as he started to scratch his head to try and think about what Lily would like. After a few moments, an idea hit him and he rushed out of his pineapple to go to the music store; he was sure that he could find something there.
Sometime later, Spongebob slowly walked over to the front step of Squidward's house and placed a box that he had wrapped up in yellow wrapping paper and tied up with red ribbons on the doormat. "Lily will love this." Spongebob smiled. He then knocked on the door and immediately rushed off to hide behind the house. After a few seconds, the door opened and Lily had a look around to see who it was.
"Hello?" Lily asked. She could see that no one was there, but then she looked down to see the present laying on the doormat so she bent down and picked it up. "What's this?" she asked. She gently pulled the ribbon off and then took off the wrapping to find a box with an instrument inside it, and then she grabbed the instrument to see what it was. After a quick glance, Lily could recognize it straight away.
"My own clarinet?" Lily asked. She then saw that there was a little tag tied around the clarinet, so she lifted it up to see what it read.
Dear Lily
Happy Birthday
Squidward
As Lily looked at the writing, a bright smile crossed her face as she understood; Squidward realised how much she loved listening to his music, so he went to the trouble of buying her this present so she could play alongside him. "Oh, Squiddy!" Lily smiled, and then she closed the door and started to rush upstairs so she could find Squidward and give him a big hug to thank him for the gift.
Meanwhile, Spongebob poked his head out from behind the house having heard what Lily was saying and he brightly smiled, thrilled that she liked what he chose out.
