"Chris, where do you come from?" Timmy asked.
Chris and his new friends were sitting at a table in some fast food restaurants where residents from all over the city came to gorge themselves. Chris swallowed down his burger before answering Timmy's question.
"Seattle." He replied simply.
"Ooh, Se-aaa-ttle…" Nadia and Timmy chimed in unison. Danny rolled his eyes as he turned to Chris.
"How was it like there?" Danny asked him.
"To some people, it may seem like the best place in the world." Chris answered. "But to me, it was pretty lonely and harsh. You would feel the same way too if you…nevermind."
"Well, I'm sure that you wouldn't feel lonely here, buddy." Timmy told him.
"Yeah, the friendliest people in the world live in this city." Nadia answered. "You wouldn't have to worry about a thing."
"GET AWAY FROM ME!"
Everyone turned towards the direction of the sound. The Te Xuan Ze, protector of the whole magical realm, Juniper Lee, was angrily making her way towards their table. Behind her was Spongebob, an extremely annoying talking cleaning material.
"But June…I want to go jellyfishing and I want you to join me!" Spongebob chimed.
"I told you – I CAN'T BREATHE UNDERWATER!" June yelled at him. "SO STOP FOLLOWING ME!"
"Spongebob, get off her, I'm sure that you'll find someone else to go jellyfishing with later." Danny told the sponge.
"Oh…ok!" Spongebob happily exclaimed.
"You make it seem so easy…" Juniper sighed of relief.
"Naturally." Danny grinned proudly. Juniper rolled her eyes before catching sight of Chris.
"Hey, I haven't seen him before…is he new here?" June asked Jimmy, who nodded at her.
"His name is Chris, he comes from Seattle." Jimmy told June.
"Nice to meet you, Chris." June said, holding out a hand to Chris. "Hiya, I'm Juniper. But most people call me June."
"Hey June…" Chris looked at his hand, it was stained with tomato and mustard. He nodded his head at her instead of shaking June's hand.
"And I'm Spongebob! Hi, Chris!" Spongebob grinned at him. Chris faked a smile at the sea creature.
"Hello, little…small…and bouncy thing…" Chris said. He mentally slapped himself 'small and bouncy'? Was that the best he could come up with?
"So, how did you meet your new friends?" June asked him.
"Well…Danny, Jimmy and Timmy were getting their butts whooped pretty badly, so I decided to help." Chris explained.
"So did you save the day?" Spongebob asked him.
"He got a butt whooping himself." Nadia grinned, Chris glared at her.
"You didn't have to MENTION that." Chris said through gritted teeth. "We were all in huge trouble, then wonder-woman here came along and saved our skins."
"Way to go, Nadia." June smiled.
"Yeah! You beat two grown boys on your own." Spongebob smiled.
"She got lucky." Timmy grumbled, still ashamed to be overpowered by a girl.
"Oh, please, you big baby…" Nadia grinned at Timmy.
"But hey, I was right." Timmy said. "Dash and Francis were freaked out only because of your…"
"Nadia doesn't want you to talk about it, remember?" Danny hissed at him.
"Oh…right, sorry." Timmy whispered back.
"Anyway – who's up for some more fun?" June asked, turning to Chris. "What have they showed you so far?"
"Um…well, this is it." Chris shrugged. His new friends haven't brought him anywhere but here.
"What do you expect? We didn't know what to do with this guy." Timmy smiled, avoiding June's angry glare.
"Fine, then…I guess it's up to me to babysit you guys." June grinned. "So, who's up for some fun?"
