Chapter: 5 Home at last!

"Meow?" meowed a familiar voice I looked; it was my pet snail, Gary!

"Gary!" I said with joy coming to hug him. "Yes it's me, your owner and Sponge. Boy, have I missed you." I kissed him on the head. "Is Flats giving you a tough time?"

"Meow?" Gary looked at me, puzzled. I was shocked.

"Flats, remember? Scolding you, and making you into a volleyball?"

"Meow Meow." Gary said, shaking his head.

"You don't remember a thing?"

"Meow. Meow." Again, shaking his head.

"Hmmmm," I said scathing my chin. "How can you not remember?" I snapped my fingers."Unless, Dutchie made it so things never happened the way they did."

"Meow?" Gary sounded puzzled again.

"I better see the rest of the town." I said putting Gary down on the ground and patting him.

"I'll be right back." I promised him, and went outside. Outside I saw Squidward.

"Squidward!" I hollered rushing up and hugging him.

"Of course, this is what I need every mourning." He sighed.

"Boy, have I missed you." I told him.

"SpongeBob, in case you haven't noticed I saw you yesterday, and the fact that we're neighbors we see each other every day." Then he whispered to himself. "Through I wish we didn't have to." I laughed.

"But I still miss you, it feels like forever since we seen each other."

"I still wish it was forever." Squidward murmured to himself.

"Well, I got to check the Krusty Krab is still in good condition." I said, walking away. "See you soon." \

"Whatever." Squidward said, and then hopped onto his tanning bad and tanned.

"Gee, I hope the Krusty Krab is all right." I said, passing by Pearl and Mr. Krab's house.

"Hey SpongeBob!" Pearl shouted to me.

"Hey Pearl." I said, still walking. Suddenly I stopped, and rushed over to Pearl.

"Pearl, I'm sorry what your dad did last night."

"What did he do?" She sounded confused.

"He destroyed your prom last night, remember?"

"SpongeBob, what are you talking about?"

"Oh, don't you remember? Your dad destroyed that booth, and attacked a man at your school."

"SpongeBob, don't be silly, my daddy won't do that! He loves me, and he is the best daddy in the whole sea."

"Yesterday you said he was the worst daddy in the whole universe."

"Why would I say a postpasterous thing like that? I'm his teenaged daughter for crying out loud. I'm supposed to love him, just like another teenager would."

"Oh, I haven't thought about that." I confessed. "Well, see you Pearl! I started on my way.

"Bye SpongeBob!" She waved to me. To herself she shook her head and sighed.

"My dad may be crazy, but SpongeBob's right! What if he? Oh, that could never happen. My dad won't do that." She went inside "At least I hope not!"

I saw Sandy passing by me. I stopped, and turned around.

"Hey Sandy! I'm so glad that you didn't move to Texas after all."

"Huh?" She wondered. "Why would I do a silly thing like that when I have all of my friends right here?"

"Oh, it's nothing Sandy, I'm just glad you're back!" I hugged her then left.

"Sometimes that SpongeBob is crazier then a dozen walnuts." She told herself, and left.

"Patrick!" I said when I saw him in Jellyfish fields. "I'm sure glad you're not in the hospital"

"What's a hospital." He asked. I laughed.

"I hope you're not still mad at me about what happened last night." Patrick scathed his head.

"What happened last night?" I laughed some more.

"Nothing Patrick, well I got to go, see you Patrick!" I left.

"See you." Patrick still looked confused. "I still don't know what a hospital is. Oh well, guess its not important now." He shrugged, and then continued jelly fishing.

Finally, I reached the front doors to the Krusty Krab. Mr. Krabs was already there, unlocking the door.

"Hey Mr. Krabs." I said, nervously.

"Hey, SpongeBob." He said, turning around.

"So, are you still mad at me?"

"For what?"

"For destroying the Krusty Krab, and slamming the door in your face."

"What in blue blazes are you talking about lad?"

"You used the F word on me sir." Mr. Krabs gasped.

"I thought you and your pink friend of yours were done with those horrible words!" Mr. Krabs sounded mad again. "I guess you're not!"

"No No! Mr. Krabs, not that F word!" I said." "The other F word, fired."

"Why in the world would I say that to me best fry cook?"

"Oh thank goodness, thank you! Thank you! I hugged him, and rushed inside.

"Hey Spats!" I told him in my kitchen. "Remember me? You ol' pal SpongeBob?" I cradled my special specula in my arms. Mr. Krabs looked confused as I said hi to a bunch of inanmanite objects in my kitchen.

Afterwards, every one of my friends came to the Krusty Krab that night They came to wish me a happy "I'm back" reunion party.

"Why are we doing this crazy party about SpongeBob's ridiculous story again?' Squidward asked Mr. Krabs.

"I don't know, Squidward." He answered, dancing to the music. "But let's boogie!" Squidward sighed.

"Wow SpongeBob!" Patrick told me. "This party is so awesome!"

"Yeah, Totally!" Sandy agreed. "I just can't stop dancing to the beat!"

"Thank guys!" I told them. "But, I couldn't have done this party without such great friends like you are."

"What do you mean?" Sandy asked. She stopped dancing

"Well, you guys are always there for me, and I respect that."

"Ah, you really mean it?" Sandy started dancing again. I smiled as Gary slithered on my head.

"Yes, I really do." Everyone surrounded me in a huge circle.

"Can we have some cake now?" Patrick asked randomly. Everyone looked at Patrick and laughed, except Squidward.

I didn't care about cake, I just was glad to be home. My home, Bikini Bottom! Filed with all my friends, I was happy to be home.
