So, to sum up, Spongebob was going to a party. With Sandy. Well, he assumed the party had been going on for a while, and she just needed company, but still, SHE INVITED HIM! Sandy Cheeks had invited him to a party where there was music and party games, and dancing and… wait… dancing? Oh no… He hadn't come prepared for this! Barnacles! Why did he have to think of these things at exactly the wrong time? What if she was expecting him to ask her to dance, or… or what if things started going down the wrong road? Oh no! Now he was going to be a nervous wreck at the party and it was all because his head had to think of a stupid word like dancing.
He was about a block from Larry's place but already he could hear the loud music. Hopefully this wouldn't turn out like the time when he took Pearl to her prom… As Spongebob got closer and closer to the party, the more and more nervous (and sweaty) he got. Anticipation, nervousness, and excitement were all brewing up inside of him. As he turned the corner he spotted the house. Multicolored lights were streaming out of the few windows that didn't have curtains drawn over them, and the music could clearly be heard from outside. Aside from the music and colored lights something else caught his attention. There was somebody leaning against the outside wall of the house. A few steps closer and he realized that that somebody was Sandy.
The sound of footsteps must have alerted her that somebody was approaching because as Spongebob got closer Sandy whipped her head around until she was looking straight at him.
"Oh! Howdy, Spongebob!" Sandy said with a smile.
Spongebob could feel himself blushing as he replied sheepishly, "Hey, Sandy." A thought occurred to him, "Wait, Sandy, why aren't you inside? At the party?"
"Oh, i just decided to come out here to wait for you. I couldn't stand it if Larry or Don asked me to dance again." Sandy answered. Her face had gone slightly pink.
"That explains it," Spongebob mumbled to himself. "Would you like to go in now? Now that I'm here, I mean."
"'Course I would Spongebob. Lets go." Spongebob held out his arm to Sandy as only a gentleman would do. Sandy took it chuckling a little to herself. Spongebob blushed at this. He suddenly felt like he had done something much too formal for a casual party like this. He opened the door and he and Sandy strode into the room. Spongebob quickly noticed that a slow song was playing. Some couples filed onto the dance floor, while others just sat to the sides and talked. He quickly decided to stick with the latter group. He and Sandy walked around looking for someplace to sit. Sandy informed Spongebob on where she had sat before and where she hadn't.
"It'd probably be best if we sat somewhere new. Larry and Don are prob'ly still lookin' for me, and I sure as heck don't want them findin' me." She said.
"Alright. Sound's good" They continued looking for the spot furthest from Larry and his friends. Once they found it they sat down and both let out a sigh.
"Well, now time to make conversation I s'pose." Sandy said with an nervous chuckle.
"Yeah." Spongebob said, equally nervous. The song that was playing ended and Larry's voice came up on the speakers.
"Everybody holler if you're enjoying the party!" At that the crowd roared in approval. When the shouting and whistling had died down to a minimum, Larry continued, "Alright, we're going to chill with a few more slow songs now. Everybody find a partner and we'll take the lights down." A few whoops and hollers could be heard when he finished and then a hush came over the crowd as the next slow song came on.
The air between Spongebob and Sandy had become tense. Spongebob sat and listened to the music and Sandy pretended to scan the crowd for familiar faces.
"Why did it become so awkward and tense all of the sudden?" he thought to himself, "How can I get a friendly conversation going without making it more awkward?" When he was finished with this thought he made up his mind.
"Ahem…" They both cleared their throats at the same time. Spongebob laughed nervously.
"Shoot! We both tried to talk at the same time… ugh… I shouldn't have come. I'm just making it weirder for both of us." Spongebob thought to himself. He glanced over at Sandy who had gone red in the face.
He tried again. "Ahem…" He was glad nothing else awkward had happened… yet. He was about to say something when Sandy spoke up.
"Well," she said, "aren't ya gonna ask me to dance?"
I know it just sounds like a regular "school dance" scenario or something but this was what the party that i went to recently was like. CHAPTER THREE IS COMING SOON. CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM IS ALWAYS WELCOME :) SORRY I LEFT Y'ALL ON A CLIFFHANGER
