The next day, the chimps found Sandy's message. They were terribly afraid that they were too late to help her but went ahead and opened the dome. Back in the dome SpongeBob and Sandy were laughing at a joke he had told. It was very funny but it was the kind of joke that you laugh at because it's so stupid. That's when they heard the alarm bell start to go off. Blinking red lights flashed everywhere and the snow started to melt.

"I got through to them! SpongeBob you might want to put on your helmet. I'm not sure what will happen when they open up the dome. I'll be right back." Sandy ran for her tree to put on her suit too. But she was too late. All the metal, including the doors, suddenly evaporated into thin air. Water came rushing in from the opening. Sandy was only half way to the tree house and would never make it in time. SpongeBob had just enough time to reach her and grab on before the dome began over flooding. They were rising with the water and he quickly slipped off his helmet and placed it over Sandy's head.

"Sandy are you alright?"

"Yea, I'm fine now. Thanks SpongeBob. But it'll take a while to drain my dome. I need my suit. Do you think you could swim down and get it out of my tree house?"

"Of course Sandy. But how will you get the water out of it?"

"I still have that plunger device inside there. I'll be able to hold my breath long enough to get it all on and let it drain." SpongeBob nodded his head and began to swim down to the tree house. Once inside it was pretty easy to find his way around. It was just like walking inside his house normally except it was Sandy's. He missed being able to walk around under water without a helmet on. As he went through her house he tried to hurry to her bedroom. He finally found her suit inside the closet. As he lifted up the suit a picture floated out. He stared as it floated to the top of the closet. It wasn't a picture he could remember. He was in it though. It was a picture of him leaning on the picnic bench looking drunk. He gasped and blushed as the memory suddenly came back to him. He had never thought about it before now. The flashback happened quickly.

He was still feeling all woozy as he walked out of Goofy Goober's. He was on his way to the Krusty Krab to give Mr. Krabs part of his mind when Sandy's tree dome came into view. He knew he should hurry to work but who cared? "Stupid Mr. Krabs probably doesn't even notice me missing." He turned down the road to go to Sandy's house. The part of his mind that was still working properly told him to put on his helmet. He shoved it on and walked inside without even knocking.

"Hey SpongeBob, you don't look to good. Are you alright."

"Yea sure Sandy." He replied as he wobbled unsteadily towards the picnic table. "So how's about you and me get together some time? I'd clear my schedule for you anytime."

"Uh SpongeBob…? Aren't you late for work?"

"Ah who cares? I'm spending some quality time with hottest girl in Bikini Bottom."

"Well gee thanks SpongeBob but you better get off to work now." She walked over to him and started to push him out of the tree house.

"I'm not leaving till I get a kiss."

"SpongeBob snap out of it!"

"You know you want it just as much as I do Sandy!" Sandy gave a hard enough shove to get SpongeBob passed the doors.

"Why don't ya'll come back when you're sober SpongeBob!?" She slammed the door in his face and walked back to the tree house. SpongeBob half walked half wobbled down to the Krusty Krab.

The flashback ended. SpongeBob was shocked and ashamed at his behavior. He didn't know how long he had been standing there so he quickly grabbed the suit and raced back to Sandy.

"What took you so long?"

"I just had a little trouble finding the suit that's all." He was blushing a deep red. Sandy knew him better but had to think about other matters at the moment.

"Well anyways, I need a place to stay while my dome drains. Do you think it could stay at your place for a while?"

"That would be great Sandy! It would be like a big slumber party again, except this time it would be at my house!" sandy laughed as she pulled on her suit. Once she had everything on she quickly pulled out the plunger like device and flushed the water out of the suit. She could finally breathe comfortably again. SpongeBob's helmet may have saved her life but it was too big for her. Now that she had her own helmet on she could finally relax.

"It's already getting late out so I guess we should head out to your place now."

"Let's go! I'm ready, I'm ready!" SpongeBob dashed off into the distance and Sandy had to run as fast as she could to keep him in her sight. She never really thought about how excited he would be to get to his own comfortable home.
