Timmy felt a shiver crawl up his spine as SpongeBob's finger landed on S.F.
"S.F.?" said SpongeBob.
SpongeBob was surprised to see S.F., but he then remembered that he was a government official.
"Hello, SpongeBob," S.F. said with a friendly smile. "I hope my previous attempt to purchase Bikini Bottom hasn't made anything awkward between the two of us."
"Oh no," said SpongeBob. "We're good."
SpongeBob wasn't one to hold grudges. In fact, it's almost as if most negative feelings he may develop for others go away by the time his next nautical escapade begins. S.F. then turned his attention to the Loud Siblings and Timmy, causing his eyes to flash purple. A sinister smile crept across his face, causing everyone in the room discomfort.
"I believe I haven't introduced myself," said S.F. "I'm S.F."
"What's it stand for?" asked Luna.
S.F. answered her question as a thirteen wheeler drove by the hotel.
"…and that's why I just go by S.F.," S.F. finished. "Anyway, I'm just here to welcome you all to Bikini Bottom and hope you enjoy your stay here."
S.F. then turned around and snickered.
"Of course, it's very unlikely that you will enjoy your stay here," S.F. snickered.
"Um, hello, we're right here and could hear everything you just said," Timmy pointed out.
S.F. simply turned back to Timmy and, without a word, left the room.
"Well that was weird," said Lincoln.
"That was literally the weirdest thing," said Lori. "Anyway, I'll just go unpack in my master bedroom."
It was at that moment when the fight for the master bedroom was reignited. They argued back and forth until Timmy decided that yelling wasn't going to get them anywhere.
"Enough!" Timmy yelled. "There's only one way to settle this!"
Timmy gathered everyone in the room, barring SpongeBob and his fairies, and told them to stretch their hand forward.
"We'll settle this the old fashioned western way," said Timmy. "Rock, Paper, Scissors.
"Okay," Leni nodded. "Where do we get those?"
Her siblings and Timmy shot Leni an annoyed look and SpongeBob explained the game in a way she could understand.
"Let's go!" Timmy announced.
They shook their hands, reciting the game phrase and everyone used rock.
"Again!" Timmy instructed.
They shook their hands again and they all landed on scissors. They played more rounds, each one ending in a draw, until the constant ties irritated them.
"Okay, one more round and this time, don't go with your first choice!" Timmy instructed.
They all stared each other down and suddenly time seemed to slow down to a crawl.
"One… Two… DRAW!" Timmy yelled.
Everyone shook their hands and dramatically raised them for the moment of truth. They dropped their hands and were all shocked by the result.
Meanwhile, Malie and Vrej wandered through Downtown Bikini Bottom, admiring the fun everyone was having.
"Who knew fish knew how to party?" said Vrej. "Why are we here again?"
"Given that mother attacked both Timmy and the Louds, it's fair to assume that she would come here at some point if she wasn't already here," Malie explained.
"I get it," said Vrej. "You want to use them as bait to draw mom out. Should I get the rope?"
"No, Vrej, we're just looking after them," Malie corrected.
"Oh…" Vrej muttered. "Okay, then… Let's do this. Let's split up."
"Split up?" said Malie.
"Yeah," said Vrej. "That way we can cover more ground."
"I don't know…" said Malie.
"Great!" said Vrej. "I'll see you later!"
Vrej ran off, leaving his sister to shake her head. She knew that what Vrej really wanted to do was to enjoy the Summer Festival.
