Chapter 1: Friday Evening

Author's Note: Hey, guys! I'm back, with my second SpongeBob SquarePants Fanfiction! Before you read this one, however, I must let you know that this is the sequel to my first one, SpongeBob's New Date. So, you should read it first, which answers many questions about the story, such as "Who's SpongeSusie? And who's Randy? And why are they a couple?" and "Why are SpongeBob and Sandy suddenly a couple?". Make sure you read the full story, as the ending is a surprise as to how things end up. You've already read it? Then continue with reading this one!

It had been several weeks since the Starlight Dance. SpongeBob and Sandy sometimes kissed and held hands, but other than that, they still did all their usual activities before they became a couple. SpongeBob wanted to ask Sandy out on a date, but he was too nervous. He was sure he would some day, though. He hadn't heard from SpongeSusie or Randy since the dance, but they were probably doing just fine.

Now, it was a Friday evening at The Krusty Krab. Squidward gave out the last order for the day, and it was sunset.

"SpongeBob, I need a Krabby Patty for Table 17!" he yelled.

"Coming right up!" eagerly replied SpongeBob.

SpongeBob just realized how often he received orders for Table 17. SpongeBob had two guesses as to who was there now. It was either his ex-girlfriend SpongeSusie, or Sandy.

Either, he thought, would be fine, but I'd prefer Sandy.

As SpongeBob served the meal, he got his wish! The familiar squirrel was sitting there, smiling at the waiter. SpongeBob couldn't help but blush. Sandy was also no longer wearing a suit, but dressed in casual clothes. He assumed that she, like before, had made another thing to help her breathe water instead of air.

"Howdy, SpongeBob!" she greeted.

"Hi, Sandy!" SpongeBob replied. "And here's a very special Krabby Patty for a very special girl!" he said, giving her the Krabby Patty.

"Aww, thank you, Spongey," she replied. "And before you go, how about one more thing?"

Meanwhile, Squidward was searching for his co-worker, angrily. "SpongeBob, where are you? Mr. Krabs is worried sick! It's closing time!" Then, he spotted the fry cook. There he was, at Table 17, making out with his own customer.

Squidward made a disgusted grunt at the sight of that. Then, he called Mr. Krabs. "Mr. Krabs, why is your employee making out with a customer?"

Mr. Krabs burst in the dining room, and yelled angrily. "SpongeBob, this isn't Valentine's Day! Get back to work!"

The couple immediately stopped their kiss, confused. "Get back to work? But I thought it was closing time!" said SpongeBob.

"It is closing time!"

"But—"

"Don't throw your buts at me! Get our anchors out of your pants!"

So, all four of them left the restaurant. Mr. Krabs and Squidward ran home, but SpongeBob and Sandy remained outside the building.

"SpongeBob," asked Sandy, "do you want to walk home with me?"

The sponge's heart rose after she asked that. "YES!" he replied, in excitement.

So they began their walk.

Stay tuned!
