The next morning, SpongeBob and Sandy woke up in each other's arms. They were both cuddled up in bed. Last night was just a big blur.

"Sandy?"

"Yea SpongeBob?"

"You know how I said I would still love you just as much when we got out of the tree dome?"

"Yea, what about it?" Sandy started to get a worried look on her face.

"I lied. I love you even more now."

"Thanks SpongeBob, that means a lot to me." She cuddled closer to him and he kissed the glass where her forehead would be. "I guess that means I lied too. I love you more than ever right now." For a while they just laid there, holding each other. SpongeBob looked over at the clock and realized he needed to start getting ready for work or else he would be late.

"I got to get ready for work." He jumped out of bed and quickly started to dress in his usual brown pants, white shirt, and red tie. Sandy got up and yawned. She had woken up in the middle of the night and went out to start working on her dome so she was already completely clothed.

"I guess I should go get started working on my dome some more too. I'll see you later tonight SpongeBob." He was already running out the door towards work.

"Bye Sandy!" he yelled from halfway down the road." They both went on their own way. SpongeBob went to the Krusty Krab and Sandy to her dome. As SpongeBob ran in the front door, Squidward stared at him.

"So SpongeBob how was your night?"

"Just fine, thanks for asking Squidward."

"How are you and Sandy getting along then?"

"Oh we're just great. In fact, I think I'm going to ask her to marry me."

"Marry YOU? Why in the world would she want to do that?"

"Well she told me that she loved me a lot this morning. And I love her a lot too. You don't think she would say no do you?"

"Look at yourself SpongeBob. Do you seriously think she would say yes?"

"Don't listen to em' SpongeBob. Squidward's just jealous that he never found love."

"Thanks Mr. Krabs. Do you think Sandy would say yes?"

"Of course I do. But why don't you ask her for yourself. She's almost here." With that, Mr. Krabs walked back into his office and Squidward started to read his dancing magazine again. All of the sudden SpongeBob started feeling really shy so he ran into the kitchen.

"Howdy Squidward. You seen SpongeBob?"

"He's in the kitchen." He replied without even looking up from his magazine.

"Uh… thanks." She walked into the kitchen and saw SpongeBob flipping patties.

"Oh hi Sandy." He badly wanted to ask her the question but didn't have the ring with him.

"Well, the domes going along great. I should be able to move back in after about a week." She noticed SpongeBob's downcast face. "Of course that is if everything goes right. Who knows, I might be too tired to work on it for a couple days." He started to smile again. It was as if Sandy had read his mind. "Anyways, I was gonna tell you that I'm going to the store. Is there anything you need?"

"I don't think so but thanks anyways."

"Alright then. Oh and by the way, I made you lunch.

"Thanks Sandy! My favorite, seanut butter and jelly! How did you know?

"Just a lucky guess. I got to go. Bye."

"Bye!" Sandy leaned down and tried to kiss SpongeBob on the forehead except her helmet got in the way. They both giggled and hugged instead. She turned around and walked out of the kitchen. As soon as Sandy went out the front door, Squidward leaned through the window and started talking to SpongeBob.

"Wow, maybe I was wrong. She's already acting like she's married to you."

"What do you mean Squidward?"

"She's going shopping for you, making your favorite lunch, kissing you. I hate to admit it but she really does love you."

"I told you. And tomorrow I'm going to pop the question!"

"Good luck with that." He said getting bored with the conversation. He leaned back out the window and started to read again. SpongeBob continued flipping Patties. He was so excited about tomorrow. He just couldn't wait.
