Sandy

Why, it's SpongeBob! What's he doing here so early? He must've gotten off work early. No, that's not possible; Mr Krabs would never do that! So how is the little square dude outside my house right now?

I hope Sandy doesn't mind me being early, or coming to her house instead of meeting her at the cinemas like we agreed, but I couldn't just go and wait there! Sandy wouldn't be expecting me early, so she wouldn't come until seven!

I guess I'm not that early, I was only let off work fifteen minutes before the usual time. But even if I had been let out at the usual time, I still should've gone home to freshen up…

I'm glad Frank didn't close as early as usual today; otherwise, I wouldn't've been able to get flowers and chocolates!

At least I chose to do that before I came here, cuz you can't just turn up early at a girl's house without gifts…

"Aww, shucks, Spongey, you shouldn't have!" is what she says when she sees the flowers.

"I know those are your favourites…" I blush. I knew she'd love them.

"And chocolates as well! That's mighty sweet of ya!"

"Well, I couldn't just turn up, could I? Without something nice for my Sandy!"

Sandy looks confused. Have I done something wrong?

Oh, stop being so worried, SquarePants! It's probably because she wasn't expecting me early, or because I brought her flowers and chocolates! I should apologise for coming without any notice.

"I'm sorry I'm early, and for coming here without telling you I was going to…"

"Why SpongeBob, that's perfectly alright!"

"W-well, you looked shocked…"

"I'm just surprised you got off work early, is all!"

"O-ok, well if that's all…"

"Come on, Spongey, let's go see that movie."

Boy, I was so worried about Sandy being upset with me that I completely forgot why I came in the first place!

So, here we are. Reef Cinema.

I've been here before, but not at this time of day. It looks so lovely in the evening, with the glistening lights, and the underwater sun setting in the distance. The floodlights flick on as the sun disappears behind the horizon. I sigh. It just looks so nice!

"The Reef always looks its best at sunset." SpongeBob seems to read my thoughts.

"Ain't it just gorgeous?" I agree.

A fish comes out the back door and climbs on the roof to light the torches on the rooftop. I still haven't been able to figure out how they light fires down here. Surely it's impossible?

SpongeBob opens the door for me and we go in.

"What movie do you want to see, Sandy?" SpongeBob asks.

"Gee, I don't know SpongeBob, maybe we shoulda thought about that before we came!"

"Well, uh, there's 'Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy'-" SpongeBob says, looking at the posters on the wall.

"I thought you promised Patrick you'd see that with him?"

"Oh, yeah, I guess…"

"What about the new 'Starfish Wars' movie?" I ask. I've been longing to see it.

"Nah, I'm more of a Trekkie." SpongeBob says. I should've guessed. I can imagine the little dude playin' around with laser guns, shoutin' "Pew! Pew! Pew! Bang!"…

"Sandy!"

Oops! "Sorry SpongeBob, I was imagining you playing with the Fleet's toys!"

"Wha- toys? Why would they play with toys?"

"Oh, you silly, naïve little sponge!"

"Really! They're adults! They wouldn't-"

"Never mind, Spongey, just pick a movie!"
