Cool Guy Chronicles, Book 3 - "Back Home"
Chapter 1: "Striking News"
It was Monday, and a very quiet day in Bikini Bottom.
Spongebob Squarepants stared mindlessly at his television set, stroking the shell of his sleeping pet snail, Gary.
The TV droned on, when Spongebob was startled out of his trance by the ringing of his telephone. He jumped off of the couch, and raced to answer.
"Hello?"
--
Meg was busy in her kitchen, preparing her evening meal.
Meg Treez had moved in next door to Spongebob not two months ago...and had already attended one social event. But...truth be told, things were a bit too peaceful around here. Sure, Meg enjoyed the quiet from time-to-time, but, to be quite honest...she was bored out of her mind. She craved adventure, experience!
Her next question would be, did Bikini Bottom hold that for her?
--
Another day droned on for the quiet likes of Squidward Tentacles, who, like most of Bikini Bottom's citizens (around this hour) was contemplating what to do about supper.
Pizza would be nice, but...he didn't know who delivered. Spaghetti sounded easy—but he had that last night.
"I'll make a sandwich." he mumbled. There, and easy solution.
He walked into his tiny kitchen, and switched on his CD player. Soothing Celtic melodies drifted from it's speakers, and in just moments, Squidward found himself dancing on the linoleum with an invisible partner.
As the song ended, Squidward sighed and let his shoulders droop He knew he was getting lonesome, and yet--wasn't quite sure what to do about it. No decent girl would have him, that was for certain.
He finished making his sandwich, and walked back into his living room. This could be a long, lonely spring.

Spongebob walked swiftly down the road toward Sandy's house. She'd phoned him a few minutes ago, telling him that she'd rather explain her situation in person.
So, Spongebob had grabbed his coat and headed out the door.
Sandra Cheeks (Sandy, as she preferred to be called) was a land squirrel who had moved to Bikini Bottom almost nine years ago. Her and Spongebob had been best friends for nearly that amount of time, but now Spongebob was beginning to think that maybe he had other feelings for her. Other feelings than just friendship.
--
Sandy heard a knock on her door, and immediately knew who it was.
She rushed to let Spongebob in, and invited him to some hot tea and cookies.
"What's up, Sandy?" Spongebob asked, after they had settled in.
Sandy sighed, unwilling to share the news...and yet desperate for someone to help her bear her fear.
"Sandy?"
Sandy realized she'd been staring silently at the ground.
"Spongebob..." she whispered. "Spongebob, it's...it's my Ma. She's in the hospital. They say it's cancer."
