In the last two chapters there were hints to past episodes. Those episodes were Chimps Ahoy and Texas.

Chasing After Her

Chapter Three

(After Spongebob had made his decision to leave, he packed up some clothes. Squidward watched Gary just like he promised. He then wondered how he was going to get to Texas. He went up to the Bikini Bottom Bus Station to ask someone.)

"Excuse me sir."

"Yes how may I help you?"

"Well I had a question… My friend lives on land and I was wondering if the Bikini Bottom buses even go on land."

"No they do not. They let a passenger off just before you reach the land. The bus driver has never been on land before because it is said to lead to certain death."

"I have a long journey ahead of me, but I don't even know how to get there I've just got to find my friend."

"Oh… Is it a girl?"

(Spongebob then gets embarrassed a little and blushes.)

"Yes."

"Well if you have money the bus driver will take you to the edge of the land. Then you will be on your own."

"Ok thank you."

(As Spongebob leaves the Bus Station Manager says…)

"That kid is dead meat."

One Spongebob paid for his bus ticket he gets on a bus and takes a long three hour journey. He looked out the window and saw the country side. Then he soon became tired and fell asleep. He dreamed of Sandy and soon woke up upset again. He realized that it was just a dream and fell back to sleep a few minutes later. The bus driver woke him up once he got to his stop.

"Excuse me sir but we are at you're stop."

"Oh thanks for waking me up."

(The bus driver pointed above the water and said…)

"So you're going up there?"

"Yes. I'm going because I need to go to Texas to find my friend."

"Is it a girl?"

(Spongebob then gave him a weird look but said…)

"Yes it is."

"Oh… well good luck then."

(Spongebob then took out his water helmet that he had with him, put it on his head, and walked on shore saying…)

"Well here goes nothing."

Spongebob had absolutely no idea where he was going. He wasn't exactly sure if he would ever find Sandy but he was still going to try. Then he thought of something. Just because he went to see Sandy doesn't mean that she would come back. She said it herself… she was never coming back. If he did find her he was planning on telling her how he felt about her, but if she didn't feel the same way then he would have traveled for nothing. He did not lose hope, he had this crazy feeling that kept him going, and that crazy feeling was love. It was something that he did not fully understand yet.
