THE FOLLOWING DAY (AFTER SCHOOL)

Spongebob walked home from school, head down, very sad. Patrick and Sandy were by his house waiting to greet him.

"Howdy, Spongebob." Sandy greeted him, Spongebob payed no attention so he accidentally bumped into her. "Sorry.." He said, still walking. "Whats wrong, Spongebob?" Patrick asked. "No luck with your girlfriend?" Spongebobs head hung lower, though he stopped walking. "Shandra is a championship fish eater..." (Well, use to be.) "Whos Shandra?" Sandy asked. "Shes his girlfriend." Patrick said, still clueless. Sandy looked confused. "Girlfriend..?" She sounded dissapointed. "Shes not my girlfriend..." Spongebob said, sadly. Sandys face lit up a bit, but still looking confused. "She is just a friend, but she use to always eat fish, so I dont know anymore.." Spongebob said, still hanging his head. "She ate lil critters?" Sandy asked. "Thats just plain cruel! Ill teach er a thing or two!" "No, dont!" Spongebob stopped her.

"I think she may be sorry for what she has done, but no one believes her! They hurt her, they whip her, Please dont hurt her!" Spongebob begged. Sandy just looked at him. "Oh, alright.."

"They whip her? DOES SHE TASTE LIKE WHIPPED CREAM?" Patrick said stupidly.

"No, Pat."

"Darn."

"I need your guyss help. She is being torchered and we gotta bust er out!" Spongebob declaired.

"So...You really DO like her." Sandy said.

"Whats with you guys?" He said. Shes just a friend, and I dont want her to be hurt."

"Yeah, ok." Patrick agreed. "And, since you arent going out with her.."

"Right..." Sandy said.

"Well get her out of there tonight." Said Spongebob. And then went into his pineapple.

10:00 P.M.

Spongebob, Sandy and Patrick went to the school, they were wearing masks, Patrick, though, was wearing a coconut over his head. "The doors are locked, Sandy, open it Sloooooly."

Sandy knowcked down the doors and it made a huge BANG. Shandra woke up terrified.

"Sandy, go get Shandra, Patrick and I will keep watch." Spongebob told.

"Oh, suure..." Sandy went in. She saw many things that she has never seen in the surface world, she moved on. She saw a room with a dirty window.

"Hello?" She opened the door.

"Who are you? What do you want?" A scared voice asked.

"Are you Shandra?"

"Yes.."

"Follow me, Spongebob, Patrick and I came to rescue you."

A smile came across Shandras face.

"T-thanks." She said.

"Yeah, whatever.." She led her out.

"Why is she upset? Did I do something wrong..?" Shandra thought.

"Uhhmm.. Are you allright? You seem mad at me.."

"Im not mad.." Sandy said.

"..."

"Seems that Spongebob really likes you.." Sandy said. Shandra blushed a bit.

"N-no, we are just friends. I must remember to thank him greatly."

"Yeah, because he went to ALL that trouble to save you.." Sandy said sarcasticly.

"Oh, Im very sorry, I..."

"Just come on."

"Im sorry, thank you." Shandra said.

"Just come on."

Sandy opened the door to the outside, Spongebob and Patrick were playing cards.

"Go fish." Patrick said.

"Barnacles.." Spongebob said.

Patrick noticed Sandy and Shandra were standing right next to them.

"Hey Spongebob, look, its that girl...Person.." Spongebob quickly turned his head.

"Sandra!" Spongebob exclaimed. He quickly jumped up and grabbed hold of her. Shandra giggled. "Hello, Spongebob. Thank you for coming to get me." She said. "No problem, come on, lets get out here."

"Okay." She said. But as they were walking home, Spongebob noticed Shandras dress was ripped in the back, and her skin looked as if she was bleeding from being whipped.

"So, where is she gonna stay?" Patrick asked.

"She aint staying at my dome." Sandy said.

"Im not really sure shell fit under my rock." Patrick said.

"Well then, I guess shes gonna stay with me..." A smile came across Spongebobs face.

"SLEEPOVER!" Spongebob said filled with happiness. Shandra smiled. "He always seems to be happy about something." She thought. "Come on, lets go!" Spongebob said pulling Shandras hand inside his house.

"Hmm... Do you think Spongebob likes her. alot?" Sandy asked.

"Yeah.." Patrick answered, not really paying attention.

"I wonder if she likes him back..." Sandy thought.
