Spongebob yawned as he sat up on the couch, stretching his arms and cracking his back, he rubs his eyes, that had to have been one of the best nights that he had slept in weeks! Spongebob looked to the bed, but found that Sandy wasn't in her bed, but where could she be? Maybe she went to take a shower, but the water wasn't on, she had to have taken a walk, she'd back.
Spongebob strutted to the kitchen to make some coffee. Spongebob sat in a seat across the bar of the counter with a glass of sweetened coffee, watching as his friend slept on her 'work', slightly disappointed, he sighed while he brought the mug to his lips.
"Morning sleepy head." he says as he lowers his glass down to the counter, Sandy yawns, "M, mornin, oh, what time is it?" she asked as she looked at the clock on the wall that read one P.M, "There's some coffee behind you if you want any." he pointed as he reached for a sugar cube, dropping it in the glass.
Sandy yawns as she makes herself a glass, "So, what are you working on?" he asked as he pointed to her paper, Sandy looks at the paper full of pencil writings, "Oh, it's just something I'm working on." she answered before she closed the book and her laptop before putting them away in her bag.
"I thought we weren't going to work on our vacation." Spongebob said as he looked down at his mug of coffee, Sandy scratched her head, "I, I'm not working, I'm just adding some notes fer this thing-" "But, that's still working, I booked this trip to-"
"Spongebob, it's too early ta start this, ok, just let it go, i'm done, ok, after a shower we can go do whatever ya want, ok?" she asked, Spongebob sighed chugging the last bit of his coffee, he smiled, "Ok."
Spongebob pulled Sandy along with him, "Come on Sandy, before the line gets too long." Spongebob said as he pulled Sandy along with him to a roller coaster. It looked pretty exciting.
"Next!" the ride operator called out to the next few riders, "This is gonna be-" "Hold it!" the man stopped them, "Is there a problem sir?" Spongebob asked, "You can't wear that on the ride, ma'am, you've got to take it off." the man pointed to Sandy's helmet, "I can't take it off." she spoke up, "If you won't take it off that I'm afraid that you can ride, we've had to repair the ride too many times because some careless people can hold onto their belongings." the man shook his head.
"But it won't come off, I, I need it ta breathe-" "I don't know what to tell ya-" "Please sir, can't you let it slide? Sandy's helmet won't cause any trouble." Spongebob shook his head, the man sighed, "Listen, I don't make the rules ok, I'm just supposed to follow them, sir I could get fired, and not be rehired."
"So, we can't ride?" Spongebob asked, "No, you can, but, she can't." the man pointed at Sandy, Sandy sighed, "Well, have fun Spongebob-" "No, come on Sandy, there's plenty of rides here, this one probably sucks anyways." Spongebob rolled his eyes as he took Sandys hand and left.
…
Sandy looked to Spongebob who made his way over to her, he handed her a caramel apple with sprinkles on a stick, she smiled at the sticky treat, he sat beside her with his, he rubbed the back of his head, "Sorry-" he spoke up, Sandy looked up at him from her apple, how on Earth was she gonna eat this? Oh don't start, he's tryin his best to make this trip good. "Fer what?" she asked, "I didn't know this trip would be such a bummer." Spongebob shook his head, they had gone to every ride in the park, either there was something wrong with them, or Spongebob was too short, or Sandy's helmet was a big no no.
Sandy smiled, "Oh, that, it's alright, I had fun." she said, Spongebob smiled looking up at her, "Really?" Sandy glanced away, "Eh, not really, but, at least I got ta spend the day with y'all, I couldn't ask for a better day, and plus, this apple is pretty good." Sandy smiled as she elbowed him.
Spongebob smiled hugging her, "Youre the best." and she hugged back, "Ya know, we could totally go to the spa, I could use a good massage." Spongebob said as he cracked his back, Sandy smiled, "That sounds just, great." she stands up with him, throwing the stick in the trash before following him out of the park.
Spongebob stepped out of the bathroom after changing into a pair of swimming shorts and a loose T-shirt, he turned to Sandy who was sitting at the kitchen table with her laptop, "Are you ready to go?" Spongebob asked her, but she didn't answer, maybe she didn't hear him, so he walked over to her.
Tapping her shoulder, she took a second to look at him, she smiled, "Oh, hey Spongebob." Sandy greeted, "Are you ready to go?" he asked her, Sandy glanced at her screen, "Actually Spongebob, ya know I'd love to, but, I, I really should get this done, I'm almost done, I just got-" Spongebob nodded, "You're busy working, I get it, i'll, see you later, I guess." he smiled before he turned around and walked towards the door, sighing under his breath.
"Welcome to the spa." said a beautiful woman at the front desk as the sponge walked in, "How many? Just one? Where's your girlfriend?" the woman asked, Spongebob glanced off to the side, "It's just me Cassy, and, she's 'not' my girlfriend, and, she's busy working." Spongebob rolls his eyes, "Working?" she questioned, Spongebob sighed taking the items she gave him, "Yeah, and I thought this was supposed to be a vacation." he said under his breath before heading to a changing room.
"Ok, Mr. Squarepants, lie down and just relax." said another woman, who gestured for him to lie down on the table, "Oh, and remove your robe." she said as she pointed to the thing covering his body.
He couldn't be mad at her, she was just being herself, but, this was a vacation to get away from work, he felt like he'd been lied to, but how? Sandy didn't say she wouldn't work, she just said she'd go, but with her working, she was missing out on this incredible massage. His eyes rolled to the back of his head, he let out a moan as his back was cracked, this woman's hands were like magic, and he could give good massages but, this, man Sandy was missing out, oh, now she was working on his feet.
Spongebob walked back to the room, a bag of food he'd picked up along the way, knowing that Sandy would just love these homemade pastries. "Sandy, I'm back." he announced from the door, but stopped when he seen that she was still in the same spot she was when he had left, only she was asleep, he placed the bag on the coffee table before approaching her, he made a small smile, running his hand on the back of her helmet head.
What was she even working on? Spongebob peeked over her shoulder, but was pushed back slightly when she woke up, yawning, she looked at Spongebob, "Oh, yer back." she said before turning to her computer, she closed it, "How was it?" she asked, Spongebob glanced at her papers, "It was, great." he answered, looking back at her as she got up and carried her things back to her bag.
"Really?" she asked, Spongebob scratched the back of his head, "It would've been better if I had someone to go with." he said, Sandy sighed, not turning to look at him, "but there were a lot of pretty women, that one lady, she has some magic hands, and she was pretty too, she gave me a number and told me to come back anytime I want, with that massage, I don't think I can refuse." he laughed.
Sandy gritted her teeth, "Though, they were nothing compared to this one girl I know." he spoke up, looking at her, "But, I don't think she even knows how beautiful she is, I mean she's so busy- I don't even know what I'm saying, I shouldn't really be telling you this." he shook his head, Sandy looked at him, "Y'all like someone?" she asked him, Spongebob looked back up at her, she had no clue.
Spongebob looked away, and Sandy smiled, turning herself around, "Awe ya do! So, who is it? Who's the lucky gal? Do I know er, what's her name, what's she like?" Sandy asked, Spongebob's face turned a bright shade of red, "I, I really can't say." he covers his face, "Aww, how come?"
"Be, because it's a secret, it doesn't matter anyways, she doesn't love me, not that way, we'll never be together, I mean just look at me, and she, she's just way too beautiful for a nerdy wimp like me, but her beauty isn't the reason why I love her, it's the way she walks, and talks, the way she laughs, the way she looks at me, she's one of the only people to ever get me, but she thinks that i'm too much of a kid to ever- she'd never, even though I know better, this is the longest I've felt for someone, usually a crush would last about a year maybe two, but this, it's been going on for eight years, it took time for me to realize my feelings for her, yet, I can't tell her, if i told her, I could lose it all, and well, I can't lose her, she's the light in my day, I can't live without her." Spongebob shook his head.
Sandy stared down, this had to be some woman, but who could he like? Spongebob had a lot of friends, but he'd never brought many girls around, but then again, she was never really around these days, so he could have met someone, and never got the chance to introduce her. The thought made her heart sink, "Wh, what's the lucky gals name?" gaining the courage to ask such a question.
Spongebob shot a look at her, "her name?" he asked before looking away, shaking his head, "N, nah, I, I shouldn't." Sandy cocks her eyebrow, "Awe come on, who is it, come on, you've told this much, so, who is she, tell me, I wanna know." Spongebob turned away, rubbing his eyes, "I've already said too much, I don't even know what I was thinking, talking about her, now look at me, I'm a nervous wreck, I didn't even mention her name, and-" he sighs, "I, I'm gonna get ready for bed, maybe a good night's rest will take her off my mind." he says as he walks into the bathroom to change, but not before picking up the bag off the coffee table and then tossing it to her.
Spongebob lied awake on the couch, half of his body outside of his blanket as he stared at the dark ceiling, he should really get some sleep, but he just couldn't close his eyes, he watched as his friend slept soundlessly in her bed, she had her back faced towards him, at least she wasn't working. Spongebob sighed as he turned away, closing his eyes and pulling the blankets up to his face, all he could hear was the clock ticking on the wall, and then some rustling sheets.
He turned back to see what was up, and seeing that she, was up, and digging in her bag and taking out her laptop and papers, working, this late at night? What could she be working on that was so important that she had to take it along with her on the trip. It was none of his business, Sandy was her own woman, she could do what she wanted, it was none of his business.
Spongebob and Sandy sat at the kitchen table eating breakfast, Sandy, a muffin in her helmet while she scribbled away in her notebook, and Spongebob a bowl of cereal and a cup of coffee, reading something in the paper, he glances up at her, looking away when she'd catch him staring, "What?" she would ask, and he'd shake his head, looking to her notebook, "How do you feel about going to that pool?" Spongebob asked, Sandy looked up at him, putting her muffin down, her eyes dart off to another part of the room.
Spongebob sighs, "No need to say it, I'll go alone, again, and you can just, work." he says as he gets up from the table and goes into the kitchen to put his dishes in the sink. Spongebob glances at her before walking away. Sandy leaned on her hands, watching as he disappeared into the other room, was she doing something wrong by working? All she wanted to do was to make this thing, and then they could do whatever he wanted, but he couldn't see that, all he wanted to do was have fun. The measurement were all done, now all she had to do was gather the stuff, maybe he could go with her, if he wanted to.
"Shopping? For what?" Spongebob asked, "Well, um... does it really matter? Y'all did want to spend some time together, and this would be a great-" "Ok, ok, forget the water, let's go, hopefully the sooner we get this stuff, the sooner we can both do something fun."
