Key:

"Hahaha" relates to mentions of Mr. Krabs

'Thoughts'

"Spoken"

Last time:

"No no we have everything and we will see you later! Good bye and have a good rest of the day at work." Said Squidward.

"Alright bye now!" Kaley said as she hung up.

'Alright now to start on the porch swing...or maybe call it a lawn swing...since we don't have a porch!' thought Squidward.

Present!

Squidward was just finishing up the porch swing when SpongeBob pulled up into the driveway and started to climb out of his boat with the grocery's he had bought at the store earlier in the day. Squidward came over and started to pull the laundry baskets from the back of the boat.

"Thanks Squidy!" SpongeBob said as he walked towards the house.

"No problem Sponge!" Squidward called as he fallowed SpongeBob into the house.

After they each placed what they had grabbed in the appropriate rooms, they grabbed a light lunch and went into the living room where they sat and ate softly discussing what to have for dinner that night. That's when they started to discuss their day and there independent victories.

"So Spongy how did your day go?" Squidward asked as he finished his sandwich.

"Good I've secured Planktons help and all I have to do is insure that the formula is written down and gotten to him so im going to do that after lunch I've got a lovely selection of steaks for dinner along with some corn and a bag of mixed veggies or I could do potatoes and gravy which ever and I also got some nice wine to go with it as well. I also did indeed get the better detergent and all of the laundry that was dirty is now clean." Said SpongeBob rather matter-of-factly.

"Well that's good! I managed to get all the supplies for the porch swing, and I even finished it. I also called your cousin and she wanted me to assure you that anything she could do she would do. Also that she will be here by dinner time." Said Squidward slowly as he looked at SpongeBob.

SpongeBob just hummed softly in response.

"Sponge?" asked Squidward in a concerned voice.

"Huh?" SpongeBob commented softly once again.

Squidward with a worried look on his face looked in the direction SpongeBob was looking not seeing anything of interest other than an old photograph he cast another look to his Sponge wondering what had cause his attention so thoroughly.

He looked back over at the photograph that had been innocently sitting in the same spot since they had gotten back together and moved in together that he hardly thought about it. It was a simple old photo of when they were younger. The small blue and white cap placed upon a smaller square head and a little blue and white sailor suit is what was shown when he looked at SpongeBob's image and right next to him like he always was Squidward saw himself in that photo wearing what he now realized was a horrible combination of a red baseball hat and a green shirt...he had chosen to dress himself that day. The day of the picnic were he met his lovely sponge for the first time.

The next picture showed them a few years older than the previous one having been when they were in kindergarten this one showing them starting middle school.

This one showed them in the park sitting side by side both laughing and seeming to enjoy the day. SpongeBob was dressed in a more modest simple purple button down with nice dark brown pants. No hat this time for either one of them. Squidward swung his eyes over to look at the image of himself and saw that like SpongeBob he too had decided to go modest in his attire. A simple dark almost a sunset orange button down and his usual teal pants that were actually looking closer at the picture a couple shades darker than his current ones and no shoes. He remembered they had sat there for hours and just laughed and talked the whole day...they hadn't wanted to leave that evening, he remembered why all to clearly. His father had been offered a new job with a higher pay and he had of course accepted without any hesitation, the only problem was it was in another city over three hours away. They had had to move and that was the last night he had to spend with his love before he had to leave. That night he had walked SpongeBob home and they had sat out on his front porch for hours and just sat then SpongeBob {who honestly had always been the braver of the two} had leaned over and laid his head on Squidward's shoulder and Squidward had just wrapped his arm around SpongeBob and they had sat there for another hour and just silently cried with each other as they watched the night. The next morning they woke up under a blanket having fallen asleep sometime the night before, when they entered the house SpongeBob's parents had told them that they had called Squidward's parents and that if it was ok with them {SpongeBob and Squidward} that Squidward would stay at their house until he graduated then it was his choice were to go. They both immediately jumped at the opportunity and Squidward had gone to gather his things from his old house, by lunch he was fully moved in and sharing with SpongeBob.

The next photo was again a few years after the last. Showing them to be older once again then the previous two photos.

This one showed them in matching orange caps and gowns smiling widely at the camera while holding their diplomas happily proudly that was the day they had graduated high school and also the mark of the 6 years they had been dating. They had their arms wrapped around each other and were so happy. Squidward had made class valedictorian and SpongeBob had tied with him for that place so they both had to make speeches Squidward could remember how nervous they both were when they were in there seats right next to each other just like always, both going through there flashcards neither wanting to mess up. They had made it through there speeches and were sitting down again to await to be called for their diplomas and as they waited they quietly used there notecards from before to pass small notes to each other. They had both tripped on the last step leaving there seats to walk to the front but it was fine, they laughed it off as an accident and walked away. That was one of the last they took together as they ended up being accepted to separate schools and they of course stayed close but one summer, Squidward remembers that it all came to a head and they'd had a huge fight that had ended at that point there 9 year relationship almost 10 years.

They had both been stupid that night, they were snuggled up on the couch and SpongeBob had gotten a text not thinking anything of it he had told Squidward to go ahead and read it out loud as he was too comfortable to get up and get it, so he had. 'Plankton? Who's Plankton?' he had asked half curious half accusing, SpongeBob had rushed to sit up. 'Oh he's just my lab partner I made him promise to text when he got home he had to leave the campus later then everyone else because he was waiting for his brother.' Was all he had said on the matter as he reached out and took the phone sending a quick message and putting the phone back down. It didn't bother Squidward until his phone went off and he told SpongeBob to go ahead and read it to him, because much like he had been earlier he was too comfortable to get up and get it. 'Sylvia? Who is Sylvia?' Asked SpongeBob. 'She's my partner in band I had asked her to text me when her plane landed because she had had to take a later flight then I did.' He had replied reaching for his phone as he responded to her message and settled his phone down, he noticed that SpongeBob was still staring at him. 'What?' he had questioned. 'Nothing haha' SpongeBob had laughed it off at the point but something was different. Later that night Squidward woke up and saw SpongeBob was gone so seeing his opportunity he read threw the messages between SpongeBob and Plankton. 'What are you doing with my phone?' SpongeBob asked as he walked in with a glass of water and Squidwards' own phone. 'I could ask the same of you.' He had replied and that had started it accusations flew left and right the glass cup had been thrown along with various other objects.

That night is when it ended for about 6 years. When they found out they'd be working together, they denied that the love was still there for maybe 2 or 3 years, then they couldn't take it any longer and they got back together and actually talked about that night. They'd been fine ever since it was like there hadn't been that 6 years of separation.

"What's up Sponge?" asked Squidward concerned.

"Huh? What do you mean Squidsy?" asked SpongeBob finally pulling his gaze away from the pictures.

"You've been staring at the pictures for almost half an hour now is anything wrong?" asked Squidward really concerned now.

"No no nothing's wrong I was just lost in memories is all the nights we spent camping beneath the stars in my parents backyard and of summer Christmas's because we insisted on being together when we exchanged presents. Just all the good things that have happened. That's all" replied SpongeBob as he took both plates to the kitchen with Squidward fallowing with their cups.

"Are you sure? You had me a little concerned..." Squidward stated as he placed the cups in the sink allowing his sentence to trail off at the end.

"im sure really Squidsy I am, just with everything bad going on I just wanted to be lost in the good memories for a while. That's all." Replied SpongeBob with a big smile as he leaned over to Squidward from grabbing things out of the fridge to gently kiss him, both to reassure Squidward and confirm that nothing had happened to him while he {SpongeBob} had been away.

"Alright now how about I start cleaning up the house before she gets here." Said Squidward after they had parted ways.

"Aww crud! Yeah you do that I have to call Plankton and write the formula down really quick looks like its four ~meeeeoooww~ alright alright five four dinner tonight." Said SpongeBob with a glance at Gary.

"Alright sounds like a plan" replied Squidward, as he headed to start tidying up in preparation for vacuuming then entertaining later.

Meanwhile SpongeBob wrote the formula and called Plankton to come over for dinner for the dual purpose of collecting the formula and meeting Kaley, he then went on to prepare and cook dinner having it all ready by 7:30 when the first knock happened on the door.
