Chapter 5

"Bum Da De dum, Dum." Squilvia hummed as she stared into her vanity mirror as she stretched her face to apply some mascara.

"Oh, I can't wait!" she said as she got up to run into the closest in Squidwards room before emerging a few minutes later in a beautiful red dress. Squilvia stepped into the view of a standing mirror to examine herself.

"My Squilvia, you are one hot octopus, I just hope Squiddy will like it." she said as she straightened out a few wrinkles when she heard the front door open.

Squilvia squealed with excitement before she ran down the stairs to greet her boyfriend who had just returned home from work, she could hear him cursing up a storm it must've been a bad day, but that wouldn't matter in a few minutes.

"Squiddy? Is that you, dear?" she called from the stairs.

"Huh? What are you doing here?" he asked as Squilvia appeared from the staircase when he saw the outfit that she was in, his anger soon disappeared and he smiled, yet he didn't know what he should be happy for, why was she dressed up so nice?

"What do you mean, what am I doing here? You promised to take me out tonight." Squilva said, frowning a little, but she couldn't be too upset, he often forgot a few times whenever he worked at the greasy spoon.

"Tonight?" Squidward asked as he set his Krusty Krab hat on the hook, "you mean you're coming with me to that Jazz meeting tonight?" Squidward asked with an excited smile.

"While there is no need to dress so fancy, I still love the effort, hah, if I show up with you at my side wearing that, the other men will get jealous." Squidward laughed as he wrapped his arms around her.

"Jazz meeting?" she asked as she pulled his arms off her, "You never mentioned you had a jazz meeting, we were supposed to go on a date tonight, to that new frou frou place on the other side of town." she said as she stepped back a little.

Squidward gasped, "You know, I Totally forgot about that! Why didn't you say anything earlier?" Squidward asked, "I did tell you earlier, I even asked before you left to work." she explained.

"I must've not of heard you, you know these ears aren't as good as they used to be." Squidward said as he began to scratch his ear.

"So what now?" Squilvia asked, clearly annoyed.

"So? You know I can't miss those jazz meetings, honey. Look, why don't you come with me tonight and be my arm candy." Squidward began to smile as he snaked his tentacles around her waist to pull her in closer.

Squilvia gasped as he squeezed her rear which she responded with pushing him off and a slap to his face.

"I have been looking forward to this night for weeks, you said it would be a special night!" Squilvia said as tears threatened to fall but she refused.

"Well, it could have been a special night, if you hadn't slapped me! You better hope this doesn't swell!" Squidward pointed to the mark on his face as he turned to go upstairs.

"We Haven't gone out in months! You Promised! You can miss one Jazz club meeting, it's not like they're even going to notice your absence!" Squilvia followed up the stairs after him.

Squidward stopped once he got to the middle of his bedroom after hearing what she had said, "and what's THAT supposed to mean?" Squidward spun around in defense as she entered behind him.

Of course he had to take it the wrong way, like everything else.

"Squiddy, I didn't mean it like that, I just-" "You just what? Want me to be a loser like you? Miss a jazz meeting, you are out of your beautiful dumb mind!" Squidward spat before he turned and went into the bathroom.

Squilvia stood back as she watched Squidward slam the door shut to the master bathroom, she refused to show him that she cared, she was tired of feeling like shit for the stupidest reasons. Squilvia shook her head before she ran towards the door.

As she ran from the house the tears began to fog her vision, "Stupid jerk!" Squilvia sniffled before she tripped on her feet and came tumbling to the ground. Yet she found the impact to be much softer and squishier then she had expected.

"Oh, Spongebob!" Squilvia gasped as she rushed to get off the sponge she had run into by accident, he had been walking Gary and didn't notice each other.

"It's alright, pretty lady, are you ok?" Spongebob asked as he started to examine her arms for any skid marks from the fall but she was ok, thankfully.

Squilvia smiled as she tried to dry her eyes, when the sponge noticed her tears, "Oh, you're Not ok, do you want to talk about it, Squilvia?" Spongebob asked, genuinely concerned.

Squilvia shook her head, trying her best to dismiss her feelings but was failing to do so as the tears kept flowing.

"Oh, what's the use, stupid mascara!" Squilvia cursed as her make up ran, it saddened the sponge to see her in such distress, he smiled and gently reached up to wipe her tears, cleaning her face of the mascara that had run, benefits of being a sponge.

Squilvia chuckled softly, "Thanks, Spongebob you're so sweet." she said and he just smiled before he turned and instructed Gary to go home.

"Where are we going?" Spongebob asked her as he held out his hand.

"We?" Squilvia asked, and the sponge nodded, "It's obvious you're heading somewhere, but it's after dark and I can't let my friend's lady go out alone at this hour, it's dangerous there could be monsters." Spongebob insisted, but Squilvia just shrugged, laughing at such make believe, what's the worst that can happen?

"I don't know, I was just gonna head home for the night, it's been a rough night. Squidward is such a jerk, I can't believe I even gave him a chance. We were supposed to go on a date tonight, it was our anniversary and I'd been looking forward to the night for weeks, and he bailed at the last minute to go to some stupid jazz meeting." Squilvia said as she cleared her tears again before the sponge reached for her hand and began to drag her behind him.

"W, wait where are we going? My home is the other way I- "" I'm not taking you home, you look like you could use a triple gooberberry sunrise right about now." Spongebob said as he let her walk beside him.

"Wait, you're taking me to Goofy Goobers?" Squilvia asked but didn't really question it further, and instead she laughed and found his immaturity to be funny and kind of cute.

"Waiter! Two more please!" Spongebob sang as he and Squilvia finished their first round of ice cream.

"Two more?" Squilvia laughed, "I don't know if I can eat another!" she admitted, shaking her head.

"Here ya go." the waiter said as he set down two more towers of ice cream.

"Nonsense, of course you can! I believe in you." Spongebob wrapped his arm around her shoulder before he turned toward his ice cream and started to scarf it down until he noticed that Squilvia was staring at him, instead of the usual angered look she shared with Squidward, she seemed to be confused, did she like this?

Squilvia watched as he licked the chocolate off his lips.

"Mm, feeling better yet?" he asked her with a smile on his face.

Squilvia chuckled a little, "I think so, thanks." she said as she started to slowly work on her ice cream.

"Even though your friend can be a real dick sometimes, or am I in the wrong?" She looked at the sponge.

"Well, I think you have every right to be upset, I'm a little surprised. If you were my girlfriend, I'd always put you first." Spongebob said as he reached for another spoonful of ice cream.

"Especially if it were an anniversary." he said before he gasped.

"Wait a Minute, if this is your anniversary with Squidward, then this would also be OUR Friend- anniversary.. Friendversary? Friendersary? Hum, we gotta come up with a name for that." Spongebob chuckled.

"To Us! And may Squidward step on the lego set Patrick and I left in his art studio!" Spongebob raised his spoon to toast which earned a laugh from Squilvia.

"Thanks." Squilvia smiled softly as she reached for her spoon, maybe Spongebob wasn't as bad as she had thought, he was sweet and funny, the fact that he stopped what he was doing to take her to a place to cheer up was sweet, maybe this night wouldn't be so bad after all.

A few hours later

Spongebob and Squilvia hadn't planned on staying out as late as they had, they both indulged in quite a bit of ice cream until it was nearly two a.m. Who knew that eating that much ice cream would be so intoxicating?

"Thanks for walking me home, Spongy." Squilvia slurred a little as they stumbled up her driveway.

"You're welcome, anything for a fr, friend. I'll wait for you to, nn get inside and then I'll get outta yer hair." Spongebob hiccuped as he waited behind her as she proceeded to try and unlock her door but was failing to do so, her vision being blurred from the ice cream.

"I can't get it!" Squilvia began to laugh before the sponge gently took her hand and led her to unlock the door. Squilvia couldn't help but to stare down at his soft yellow hand, he was such a sweet young man, and admittedly he was kind of handsome, much better looking than Squidward.

"There, you just needed a little help." He laughed as he stumbled back a little as she unlocked the door, "would you care for some coffee, Sponge?" Squilvia turned to look at him once she opened the door.

Spongebob began to shake red stained face, "N, No I better not.. It's late and I should be getting back to uh.. Gar, Gary." Spongebob began to point in the direction behind him. A hint of sadness washed over Squilvia at his refusal.

"Oh, come on. Just one cup? I want to thank you for being so good to me, no one has ever made me feel like you did in a while, inviting you for coffee is the least I can do." Squilvia insisted.

Spongebob continued to hesitate but with looking at her, and the way she looked at him, she was still sad and even though the sponge was an animal deep down, he couldn't help but to pity her, and who knows? This Might be the start of something fun.

"Ok, just one and then I really need to get home." Spongebob said as he walked past Squilvia and into her house. Squilvia followed behind after shutting the door, "let me show you to the kitchen." Squilvia said as she began to walk towards him when she suddenly tripped over the corner of the rug in the living room.

Just as predicted, she had landed on top of the sponge, it was an honest accident really it was. Squilvia lifted herself up as she heard him groan from her weight.

"Oh, shoot I'm sorry, Sponge. I don't know how I keep falling on you like this." she began to apologize while she still remained above him, leaving him pinned to the carpet beneath him.

"It's ok, accidents happen." Spongebob laughed a little, and at the sound of his laugh Squilvia froze a little, looking down at his soft features, she ran her tentacle down the side of his face. She didn't know if it was the ice cream talking but he was beginning to look more and more appetizing.

Spongebob didn't say anything as Squilvia leaned down and placed her lips on his, she just wanted to know what they were like, what it would be like to kiss him. Unlike Squidward's, his lips were soft.

Spongebob didn't protest as he drunkenly raised his arms to pull her in closer, their mouths opening to accept the other. Squilvia moaned as she sucked on his tongue, which tasted sweet and kind of minty, compared to Squidwards robust wine flavored lips. It was hot and refreshing.

Squilvia pulled from their make-out session as she removed her pink dress before she went back for more, pulling at his clothes almost like she was desperate for some kind of love and affection that Squidward was failing to give.

After a few minutes, the two had shifted towards the single bedroom. Squilvia was unwilling to let go of the small sponge who tossed her on the mattress. With determination he chased after her, pinning her to the mattress as he proceeded to make out with her.

FIVE MINUTES LATER

Spongebob plopped down beside Squilvia with a look of satisfaction, he'd just made a woman finish and felt proud.

"Mm, happy Frienderverasry, You were great." Spongebob said as he turned on his side to look at her, she was also covered in sweat and tears, the post-nut clarity finally registering through her mind, she'd just cheated on Squidward, who even after their fight, was still the love of her life.

She cheated on him, with Spongebob fucking Squarepants, who Squidward could barely stand, and the worst part about it was that, she loved every second of it. She loved Squidward but Squidward had never done the things this sponge had done, Squidward in fact was surprisingly vanilla when it came to the love making and usually only stuck to one round which usually ended when he finished.

After a few minutes, Spongebob had climbed out of the bed and started to get changed, he looked back at Squilvia who had passed out and he smiled, he pulled the covers over her shoulders before he left.

A few months later

It didn't take Squidward very long to come running to Squilvia's house to apologize the day after their fight, claiming that he had totally forgotten about their anniversary, and for Squilvia to accept his apology. In reality the only reason he probably came around was because the Jazz meeting didn't turn out so good. Of course, she and Spongebob never brought up what had happened.

Although the guilt of what she had done ate at her from the back of her mind, she couldn't force herself to tell Squidward. It wasn't like what happened between her and Spongebob would ever happen again.

It was an ice cream intoxicated mistake.

Yet, on occasion, Squilvia would notice herself staring at him as he played outside, or when she came to visit Squidward at work, and she would watch the sponge, like today.

Spongebob and Patrick were outside now, playing tag, their screams of play could be heard through the stone walls of Squidward's house.

"When will those Buffoons ever shut up? I can't focus on my music!" Squidward shouted from his music and art studio while Squilvia stood at the window watching them.

"I can't stand them sometimes, can you?" Squidward asked as he looked towards his girlfriend.

"Huh? Oh, yea I can't stand them either, that idiot starfish and, Especially that, silly little sponge." Squilvia said as she turned to look back out the window as Spongebob stopped in Squidward's yard to catch his breath.

"What's he doing in my yard?" Squidward began to bicker before the window flung open and he began yelling.

"Get Off my Lawn you little creature! You have your own yard to play in, leave mine out of it, or the next time I will call the Authorities!" Squidward waved his fist in the air.

Spongebob turned to look towards Squidward, and as usual the kid smiled and waved, "Ok, Squidward." he said as Squidward marched back towards his music station as Squilvia looked out the window she couldn't help but to lock eyes with the sponge next door who only winked at her before returning to his house.
