Disclaimer: I do not own Spongebob Squarepants or any other Character. I do own the character of Melissa Jackson and Aquarius.

A/N: There'll be action later on in future chapters. Please review on my fanfic. Also, for Gary's Dialogue, the ( ) parenthesis next to his dialogue is his translation of what he's saying. Only three characters understand what Gary is saying. No one else understands what Gary is saying. Also, there is a bath scene with Spongebob, but don't expect much out of it.

Chapter One: Stranger In The Sea

French Narrator: " Ahhhh!!!!!! Here we are at the bottom of the sea, overlooking beautiful Bikini Bottom. A beautiful city beneath the waves. But today, a mysterious stranger will visit this delightful town."

The sand stretched for miles on the ocean floor with a soft melodic sound that flowed through the underwater current. A main road filled with soft gravel paved the way forward to a new underwater town. A young woman continued walking down the road passing by a sign that said, "Welcome to Bikini Bottom! Population: 150,000 Sea Creatures and One Nutcase." As she continued to walk along the road, she noticed a pink jellyfish floating by a bed of Kelp Leaves. The young woman quickly trotted down toward the jellyfish. She stopped briefly to take off her backpack, which contained many items that she needed. She kneeled down five feet away from the jellyfish with a drawing pad and a pencil on her hand.

"Hello, there. You sure are a beautiful jellyfish," she replied as the jellyfish nervously floated next to her. "Don't be afraid, little one. I won't hurt you. I just want to make a sketch of you." The young woman starts to make a sketch of the jellyfish, who continually floats curiously next to her.

Across from where the young woman was sketching was a 2-story pineapple house with a multicolored flower fence surrounding the pathway. Inside the pineapple house, up the stairs inside a bedroom was a sleeping, little sponge, who the town residents of Bikini Bottom called by his name Spongebob Squarepants. This young, little sponge at the age of 20, was the most spontaneous, optimistic sponge in Bikini Bottom. He was sleeping soundly on his bed which had three mattresses and two pillows for comfort. Next to him was his pet snail and best friend, Gary. Gary was fast asleep on the floor next to Spongebob. As the clock on a small table hit eight o'clock, the alarm foghorn started to go off. The foghorn could be heard for miles away.

Outside, the jellyfish that was floating next to the young woman heard the foghorn and out of fear hastily scurried away.

"Awwww.........That jellyfish floated away," she pouted. "Oh well. At least I was able to sketch it before it left. But I wonder where that foghorn came from?"

Back inside the pineapple, the foghorn was still going off. Two blue eyes opened up. Spongebob sat up and turned off his foghorn. He then threw the covers off of him and stood up. With one quick action, he leaped out of his bed and into the floor, smiling happily.

"Good Morrrrrning, Bikini Bottom," he gleefully replied, stretching his arms. "What a beautiful day!" Spongebob looked beside him and saw that he almost leapt on Gary. "Oops! Sorry, Gary. I guess I should've looked before I leaped. Bahahahahahahaha. Well, Gare-Bear. I better scrub myself down."

Spongebob left his bedroom and went across with a towel in hand. Spongebob's bathroom was very simple with a bathtub in the middle, a pink curtain for covering, a sink with a mirror that was also a medicine cabinet, a toilet, and a couple of towel racks. Spongebob went up to his bathtub and turned the water on. He adjusted the water temperature to his liking. Then, he hung his towel to a rack closest to him, took off his white briefs and stepped into the hot shower. Taking his vanilla fragrance soap in his hand, Spongebob starts to lather his body in the fragrance. Scrubbing his body from his ears down to his toes, Spongebob blissfully continues to rub the soap against his soft, spongey skin enjoying the hot, steamy water that gently washed the fragrant substance away. Soon, Spongebob rinsed himself off all of the soap in his body. He made sure that the hot water flowed all the soapy suds down the drainage, then he turned the water off. Wrapping a towel around his waist, Spongebob trotted off back to his bedroom but not before putting his white briefs in the dirty laundry sack.

As Spongebob reentered his bedroom, he got a pair of clean new briefs from his dresser drawer. He quickly dried himself off with the towel, put on his white briefs and put his towel in the dirty laundry sack. Spongebob went in his closet grabbed one of his dress pants and slid them on. Spongebob made sure that his shirt, tie, pants and belt was neatly arranged and tucked in place. Spongebob then got a pair of his black, polished shoes and a pair of socks and put them on, making sure that his shoes were tied to a perfect knot. After making his bed, Spongebob headed downstairs toward his kitchen, where Gary was waiting to be fed. Spongebob grabbed a can of snail food and opened up the lid.

"Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, served up Gary's way," sang Spongebob as he served Gary's food in his bowl. "Here you go, Gare-Bear." "Meow?(Got Milk?)," replied Gary.

"Sorry, Gary. I ran out of milk yesterday, "Spongebob replied. "I have to go to the Barg-n-Mart later on today." "Meow. (Oh, well.),"Gary sadly replied. "Awww, don't worry, Gary," Spongebob said while patting Gary, "I promise you'll have a fresh bowl of milk by this evening." Gary slithered next to Spongebob and gave him a loving, purring sound. Spongebob in return hugs Gary affectionately.

"Ok Gary. Eat up your breakfast," Spongebob said as he placed a bowl of water next to Gary. Spongebob walks up to his frig and opens it, looking from something to eat.

"Oh, wait a minute. Silly me," as Spongebob talked to himself, closing the refrigerator. "I forgot. I'm supposed to go over to Patrick's for breakfast. How silly of me. Ba ha ha ha ha. I better go upstairs to brush these pearly whites."

Spongebob quickly went up to his bathroom and brushed his teeth. After rinsing his mouth, Spongebob quickly grabbed his wallet and headed downstairs toward the door.

"I'll see you later, Gary," Spongebob shouted through the hallway. "Don't rip up the sofa, again."

Spongebob walked outside and into the beautiful morning air, err.......I mean, water. ( author blushes.) "Ah! What a beautiful morning," Spongebob exclaimed, sniffing the water and stretching at the same time. "I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm......." Immediately Spongebob stopped skipping along his pathway, staring across from him at a unique creature that was currently standing, looking at a jellyfish floating away. Suddenly, the creature turned around, Spongebob agape at the wondrous beauty that this creature possessed. The creature was tall, had ravishing brown wavy hair, hazel eyes that glittered in the ocean, moist beautiful lips, and a slender toned body curved to perfection. Spongebob recognized that this creature was a beautiful human girl but something was disturbing about her. A million questions started to piling up in Spongebob's head, making him sweat nervously, continually staring at the human girl.

The young woman looked across from her and saw the most beautiful sea sponge that she had ever encountered. The young woman was enthralled at the bright, yellow color the beautiful sea sponge glowed on and the beautiful blue eyes that sparkled an essence of innocence coming from the little sea sponge. Clearly, the young woman could tell that this sea sponge was a male, despite the long eyelashes that brought out his eyes even more.

"Hi there!," replied the young woman, breaking the ice and waving to Spongebob. Spongebob's eyes widen upon hearing the girl's beautiful voice. Slowly, Spongebob started to walk backwards, toward his pineapple house, nervously smiling at the young woman.

"Is something wrong, little feller?," she asked, with concern. Spongebob stopped walking and looked up at the young woman with fear in his eyes. He gulped as he continued to look at her beauty, still pondering a million questions in his mind. Spongebob, listening to his fear, quickly dashed to his pineapple house, going inside and shutting the door behind, breathing heavily. Gary, hearing the door shutting loudly, slithered in the living room, seeing Spongebob breathing heavily.

"Meow?(What's Wrong?)," Gary questioned. "I.....I........was just getting ready to go to Patrick's rock for breakfast when I saw this girl.," Spongebob replied to Gary. "She is incredibly beautiful and she's human. But, that bothered me since, I know that humans can't breathe underwater without a diving suit and this girl is out there like she's breathing air. So, I just ran because I was afraid of her, Gary. Do you understand?" "Meow, meow, meow! (You shouldn't have ran out on her, Spongebob. That's rude!)," replied Gary. "Sigh......I know, Gary! She probably thinks that I'm the worst sea creature ever. I couldn't help it. I was really scared!," Spongebob sorrowfully replied. "Meow, meow. (Don't worry about it, Spongebob.)," Gary said. Spongebob then sat on the floor, sadden that he rudely blew off the human girl.

Outside, the young woman stood on the pathway, confused about the events that just happened.

"I wonder what happened?," she thought, "Perhaps he's never seen a human before. Well, at least not one without a diving suit. I probably scared him. I should apologize for frightening him."

The young woman went up to Spongebob's house and gently knocked on his door. "Hello. Anybody there?," she said while Spongebob was listening on the other side, "Look. I'm sorry I frightened you. I didn't mean to cause you any harm. I just wanted to draw a sketch of you. You're a handsome sea sponge. This is my first time visiting this town and I wanted to see what kind of sea creatures lived in this town and make some friends along the way.," she continued talking while Spongebob's tears were swelling up from her speech. "Anyway, I apologize for scaring you. I would never hurt you or any other sea creature. I'll just leave you alone, now. It was nice seeing you, little sponge. Goodbye." The young woman slowly starts to walk away from Spongebob's house.

Inside, Spongebob wipes away his tears and gets up from the floor. "Oh, barnacles!," he thought, "That girl is leaving. She didn't mean any harm to me!?! Ohhhh........Why was I so frighten of her? Well, I'm going to fix this problem right now." Spongebob walked up to his door and started to turn the knob. "Wait!," Spongebob shouted. "Meow, meow? (What are you doing?)," Gary asked. "I have to stop her.," replied Spongebob, facing Gary. "I must apologize to her from my rude actions."

"Meow? (Why?)," Gary questioned. "sign......Because of my vow with Patrick.," responded Spongebob. Gary looked at him perplexed. "Sigh....When me and Patrick vowed that if someone new ever came to Bikini Bottom that we would try our best to make them our friend, no matter who it was.," explained Spongebob, "I broke that vow by blowing her off and now I must make up for it. I want her to be my friend."

Spongebob opened his door and saw that the girl was slowly walking away from her. "Wait. Waaiiiiit!!!!!!!!!!," shouted Spongebob to the young woman. The young woman turned around and looked at Spongebob. "I...I'm sorry for frighting you earlier. I didn't mean too....," she apologized. Spongebob held up a hand at the young woman, abruptly interrupting her. "No. I must apologize to you.," replied Spongebob. "I was rude to you and I didn't even give you a chance to explain yourself. I....I'm sorry." Spongebob extended a hand out to her. "But, let me make it up to you by introducing myself.," he said to the young woman. Clearing his throat, he spoke, "My name is Spongebob Squarepants." "Well hello, Spongebob. My name is Melissa Jackson. ," she said to Spongebob, shaking his hand. "Welcome to Bikini Bottom where the fun never ends, Melissa.," said Spongebob. "Come inside my home where we can get comfortable and chat."

"Are you sure that's alright?," Melissa questioned. "We just met."

"Are you kidding? In my house, anyone is welcomed, especially a new friendly face that's visiting this town.," replied Spongebob. He walked up to his door and opened it for Melissa. "After you, my dear."

"Oh, you're such a gentleman, Spongebob. ," Melissa giggly replied.

"Yeah.," Spongebob slyly responded.

"Oh, get over yourself."

Spongebob laughed at Melissa's remark and closed the door after she entered the pineapple house.
