Prompt 37- Guitar

Okay, just to make it clear, Patrick's moved away from wherever he and SpongeBob lived before, and to Bikini Bottom. SpongeBob aspires to leave home when the time is right, and join Patrick in Bikini Bottom.

...

12 year old SpongeBob was in his parents' back garden, his loyal pet snail, Gary, beside him. His ukulele was cradled in his lap, tuned and ready to play.

"Oo-hoo...yeah...Sitting on my parent's back wall with my snail...Missing my best buddy...oo-hoo...I'm ready for my future- look out, Bikini Bottom, cos here we come!" Then, unable to think of anything else to say, put aside his ukulele. Gary took the opportunity to slither into his friend's lap, purring comfortingly.

The young poriferan scratched behind Gary's eyestalks gratefully, and then gave him a hug.

"Aw, thanks, pal. I miss Pat so much."
