Spongebob Squarepants belongs to Stephen Hillenburg

After work, Spongebob traveled over to Patrick's rock home. He knocked on the rock, hoping Patrick was there or awake. Patrick was indeed home! He lifted up his rock home and waved to his best friend, smiling.

"Hiya, Spongebob!" Patrick happily greeted his best friend.

Spongebob smiled, skipping up to the starfish. "Oh Patrick..." He said in a sing-songy voice, "What shall we do today?"

"Why don't we watch the workers, Spongebob!" Patrick suggested. Then a sly smile came upon his face, "Then perhaps spy on Squidward?"

"Sounds perfect to me!" Spongebob said with a smile on his face. He gave the Starfish a high five and bolted off happily.

Later, both friends had a picnic in Patrick's yard. They watched the construction workers build a new house! However, they could hear Squidward playing his clarinet off key. It seemed very distracting to the two friends.

"What an annoying sound!" Patrick exclaimed. He grabbed two buns and stuck them on the side of his head.

"I'll ask him to stop playing so we can watch the workers, Pat," The sponge said. "Squidward! Oh Squidward!"

"What do you want?!" Squidward asked in an annoyed tone.

"The workers are trying to build a house! We wanna watch!" Patrick moaned. He gave a pouty look towards the squid. Squidward scowled and gave an arroant snort.

"Well, they can do it somewhere else!" Squidward replied in his stern and stiff manner. He blew into his clarinet once more.

Spongebob gave a sad look towards his surly neighbor and folded his hands. "They can't! The new house is going to be next to Patrick's house!"

Squidward did like this idea. Maybe these neighbors would leave him alone if they are next to Patrick's house. He shrugged and went to do some painting.

"Thank you kindly, lad," One of the workers said.

The workers were nearly completed with the new house. Within an hour later, the two friends traveled back to Patrick's home. Both laughed and high fived each other.

""It was fun watching the guys work! We should do that everyday! Maybe next time we can watch kelp grow!" Patrick exclaimed proudly.

"I know..." Spongebob said with a smile. He put an arm around his best friend.

At one am, they were asleep while Spongebob was tossing and turning.

"Get away!" Spongebob mumbled as he woke up sweating. "I hope the new neighbors wouldn't be like that."

"Are you alright, buddy?" Patrick asked.

"I just had this awful dream," Spongebob replied.

"It'll be okay, pal," Patrick said sitting closer to his friend. "What was it about?"

"I was meeting the new neighbors and became the giants and destroyed the whole town a few hours later," Spongebob told the starfish. "What if our neighbors are.. MONSTERS!"

"Yikes!" The starfish exclaimed. "I'm sure they'll be normal."

"I hope so," Spongebob said nervously
