Ok so apparently I'm supposed to put says instead of said. Will do even though it doesn't really sound right to me.
A Different World
(Chapter Two)
He was at a loss for words when he first saw her. He didn't know what kind of creature she was, but he thought that she was beautiful. She noticed him staring at her and starts talking to him, this brings him back to reality.
"Um hello, my name is Sandy Cheeks." Says Sandy shyly.
"Oh sorry where are my manners? My name is Spongebob Squarepants." Says Spongebob slightly blushing. She knew that he was staring at her.
"That's a nice name." Says Sandy.
"Thanks. So are you part of this group?" Asks Spongebob.
"I'm not sure yet. I just moved here and I'm not very familiar with this town. I moved down here to work with other scientists, but by the looks of things around here I don't know if I really want to stay here. This town is kind of creepy, but I met a few people that told me about how the town wasn't always this way. They needed a special gathering place so I decided that it would be my house since it's pretty isolated, and because if Plankton wasn't to arrest anyone he will have to come into my treedome. It's full of air and sea creatures can't last long without their water helmets. So everyone meets here and they tell me about Plankton's rules and how we are going to fight for the freedom of Bikini Bottom." Says Sandy.
"My friend Patrick is in this group. What is the group called?" Asks Spongebob.
"Well I'm not sure. They all came here yesterday for the first time. The leader is over there." Says Sandy.
They direct their attention to an old krab. Eugene was his name; he fought in a war long before Plankton took control. He remembers when Bikini Bottom was a free city, and has been trying to gather citizens that want to be free again. Spongebob goes over to him and introduces himself.
"Excuse me sir, but are you the leader of this group?" Asks Spongebob.
"Aye lad that I am. My name is Eugene Krabs, who are you?" He asks.
"My name is Spongebob Squarepants." Says Spongebob.
"Well this is no ordinary group; we prefer to be called the Bikini Bottom Freedom Fighters or BBFF for short." Says Eugene.
"Freedom… it sounds too good to be true." Says Spongebob.
"Don't get your hopes up just yet, it's hard to find people that aren't loyal to Plankton, and we are all risking getting arrested. We don't have many people to fight yet. If Sandy decides to join the BBFF then we will have a scientist to help plan out how to take him down." Says Eugene.
"When you say take him down you don't mean killing him do you?" Asks Spongebob.
"We are not out to kill people, but if that's how things have to end then that's how they will end." Says Eugene.
"I'm not sure if I can do that." Says Spongebob.
"Don't worry we have certain people to do the job. You are new here, you're not ready yet. Everyone has to go through special training so they can be placed somewhere that is most helpful to everyone else." Says Eugene.
"Oh ok." Says Spongebob.
Spongebob looks back over at Sandy, she is writing some things down in a book. He has to know more about her so he walks over to her and tries to start up a friendly conversation.
"Hi Sandy." Says Spongebob.
"Howdy Spongebob is there something I can help you with?" Asks Spongebob.
"Actually I just wanted to talk to you." Says Spongebob blushing.
"Ok." Says Sandy.
"I decided that I will join the BBFF. Have you decided yet Sandy?" Asks Spongebob.
"Yes. I was told that Plankton has certain rules like you can't express yourself or you can't fall in love with anyone. I'm joining the BBFF because where I'm from we already have these freedoms." Says Sandy.
"Oh. Where exactly are you from?" Asks Spongebob.
"I'm from Texas. It's a state in the United States; there we have the freedom to do just about anything without worrying about being arrested. You do get arrested for murder or theft, but those are normal crimes, but here Plankton has taken away your rights, and according to Eugene it wasn't always this way." Says Sandy.
"What are you working on?" Asks Spongebob.
"I'm just writing down some scientific formulas." Says Sandy.
"Are there certain things that you like to do?" Asks Spongebob.
Sandy smiled a little because no one had ever really asked her about her life. Seeing Sandy smile warmed his heart, he was even more interested because she was actually talking to him. He loved hearing the sound of her voice.
"Oh yes. I love extreme sports and of course other than science my favorite thing to do is karate." Says Sandy.
"I think I know what that is. Is it some kind of fighting style?" Asks Spongebob.
"Yes, karate is mostly used for self defense." Says Sandy.
"I've tried it before, but I'm not very good. Sometimes when I was in school I would get beat up, sometimes I still do." Says Spongebob.
Sandy felt bad for him and she noticed that something was wrong with his eye.
"Aw I'm sorry about that Spongebob. Hey what's the matter with your eye?" Asks Sandy.
"Oh well that was a black eye that was given to me a few days ago." Says Spongebob.
"I'm pretty good at karate, would you like for me to help you learn how to protect yourself?" Asks Sandy.
"Oh yes please." Says Spongebob.
"So Spongebob tell me a little bit about yourself." Says Sandy.
"Well I don't know Sandy; my life is not really all that exciting." Says Spongebob.
"Can you tell me anything?" Asks Sandy.
"I suppose I could. As you know a lot of people are afraid of being arrested in this town. I'm also afraid of being arrested; they can arrest you at any time for any reason. I talk to my neighbor and co-worker Squidward about my dream. They might even arrest me for talking about my dream." Says Spongebob.
"What is your dream?" Asks Sandy.
"Well right now I work at an office building, which I think is pretty boring, but one day my dream is to become a fry cook." Says Spongebob.
"Interesting, I hope that your dream comes true some day." Says Sandy.
"Thanks Sandy. Well it was nice meeting you." Says Spongebob.
"It was nice meeting you too Spongebob, but I better get back to work." Says Sandy.
"Ok, we should talk again sometime." Says Spongebob.
"Sure, I like talking to you Spongebob." Says Sandy.
He waves good bye. Patrick catches up with him and picks with him for the way he was acting. Spongebob gets a little embarrassed and decides to go home. Before he leaves Patrick tells him to be careful and not let Plankton or anyone on the outside see him or they will arrest him.
"So Spongebob how is "work" going with Sandy?" Asks Patrick slyly.
"What I just met her. We didn't get any work done." Says Spongebob slightly blushing.
"I see the way you look at her. That's the same look my dad gives my mom. Of course they were married before Plankton took over." Says Patrick.
"What look?" Asks Spongebob.
"You like her don't you Spongebob?" Asks Patrick slyly.
"What that's ridiculous. I don't even really know her." Says Spongebob.
"So I still think that you like her." Says Patrick.
Spongebob stayed quiet and looked toward the ground while blushing.
"Oh ha ha you do like her." Says Patrick.
"Patrick keep it down. Yes I like her, but I can't tell her that yet, and besides it's not allowed." Says Spongebob.
"That's one thing we're fighting for Spongebob." Says Patrick.
"I think I should get going. "Planktopolis News" is about to come on and you know what will happen if anyone is late to watch the "Planktopolis News", plus I have to get ready for work tomorrow." Says Spongebob.
"Ok see you later Spongebob, but be careful out there. Don't let Plankton or anyone else see you leave from here or you will give away our location and we will all be arrested." Says Patrick.
"Ok I'll be careful. No one is around so I think I will leave now." Says Spongebob.
He looks out through a hole in the door and did not see anyone around and the security cameras were focused on a different part of town. He quickly makes a run for it and gets to his house before anyone noticed him and just in time for the "Planktopolis News". Little did he know there was some on that was watching him, but who?
(What will happen next? Stick around to find out.)
