Prompt 26- Ribbon
A/N: This was inspired by a 'memo mobile' I made to keep track of engagements/chores, and the Best Day Ever episode.
...
Spying that blue ribbon dangling limply in the tree of her Treedome had been meant to remind Sandy of something important- but what? She'd been busy the past few days- especially when a waterspout struck a huge rock against her polyurethane walls, causing a crack.
Sandy was able fix the leak herself, easily- but her constant vigilance against the leak had taken over everything else. After all, if the leak – and worse, if the Treedome was damaged further, she could drown.
The only problem had been that she hadn't been able to leave the leak alone long enough to get what she needed to fix it.
Until SpongeBob unexpectedly dropped by, trying to persuade her to do karate with him. As much as she enjoyed doing that with her little square dude, she couldn't- not until the Treedome was fixed. Her friend's visit later came to be a blessing in disguise when he accidentally got his adhesive karate mitts stuck to her roof, stopping up the leak.
...
Now with a potential life threatening crisis averted- and a disappointed SpongeBob leaving to go and find Patrick, she stared high at the barely visible ribbon, trying to remember what it was for. It was important, she knew that.
Well, it wasn't anything to do with her work- she was up to date on that at the moment, and her bosses weren't due down here until 2 months from now. It wasn't family, or she would have heard about it from the surface.
Well, what was it?
Blue...well, she could think of a lot of things that were blue- the ocean. Nope. Mr Krabs' shirt- definitely not. Though...
It dawned on her, accompanied by a loud gasp of shock.
"Sweet Texan acorns! I was meetin' Mr. Krabs and Patrick for Squidward's concert tonight!" She exclaimed. "That darn leak put it out of my mind! If the little square dude didn't help me with the leak just now, I mighta missed it! I'll make our missed karate session up to him when we can both manage!" She decided, and went to go and check on her air suit for tonight.
"I owe ya, little square dude," She whispered to herself with a smile. "Thanks again!"
