Sorry for those who enjoyed the previous story I had for this, but I thought that it would be a good idea to rewrite it because, well the last one was a little bad, but anyways, thank you.

It was the start of of a brand new day that Neptune himself had given him, thankful for being able to live another marvelous Monday morning. Not only had Neptune blessed him with a wonderful life, but the day itself was beautiful. Jellyfish were buzzing around, singing their own songs since the little creatures loved music, Purple Scallops chirped along the joyful buzz as they were either perched on powerlines or a coral tree.

Spongebob woke up smiling, of course he did this every morning, he stood at his window in his green pajamas, watching the flowers blow by with the jellyfish and scallop parade, "Ahh, what a beautiful day!" he admired as he took in a relaxing breath, "I hope that this day never ends." he said, "Meow." says his snail companion.

Spongebob poked his head back inside, "What was that Gare-bare?" Spongebob asked, "Meow" "Oh, breakfast is ready?" he asked, "Meow." Spongebob smiled jumping in the air and than landing directly in front of Gary, now dressed, "Meow." "I know wasn't it, I think I broke my record." Spongebob said looking at a stopwatch in his hand.

Squarepants put the stopwatch down and looked at Gary, "Well, let's go eat!" Spongebob said picking Gary up and rushing down stairs to get whatever breakfast his snail had made.

"My Gary, that was one of the best cups of french toast I've ever had," Spongebob said thanking Gary, "Meow." Spongebob looked at his wrist watch, "Oh, no sorry Gare-Bare there's no time for a walk today, I have to go to work," Spongebob said tapping on his watch, "but, I promise I'll make it up to ya tomorrow," Spongebob said placing his hand on his chest.

Spongebob left the house and began to walk to work, he whistled instead of singing. He walked into the restaurant, Squidward was already at his station, reading one of his daytime magazines, to keep him from focusing on what was around him he just had his face planted onto the book. Spongebob greeted Squidward who bitterly shoed him away.

"I'm going to see Sandy today." Spongebob told Squidward from behind the order window.

"Should I care whether or not you see your girlfriend or not?" Squidward questioned.

Spongebob's face turned red, "S, Sandy isn't my g, girlfriend, Squidward." Spongebob informed him.

"But you like her though don't you?" Squidward questioned

"W, What no, she's just my friend." Spongebob stuttered

"Whatever, just hurry up and fill those orders like you're supposed to." Squidward said rolling his eyes and turning back to his magazine.

Spongebob didn't say anything afterwards, already feeling embarrassed about their little conversation, he just went back to work and stayed quiet, for a little bit anyways.

Spongebob made his way to Sandy's tree dome, he hadn't seen her in a few days, and thought that it would be a great idea to see her. A few knocks at the door was enough to get her attention, her voice was heard.

"Hello?" she answered

"Hey Sandy, it's me." Spongebob announced

"Spongebob!" she gladly shouted rushing to the door.

Spongebob stood back and waited for her to open the door. The sponge had picked up a bouquet of flowers along the way, knowing that she'd like them, after all wild sea flowers were her favorite.

Sandy opened the door and greeted her friend, "Evenin' Spongebob, I'm glad y'all actually came over, I was startin' to think that y'all had forgotten about your ol' pal Sandy." she said, "No, what No Sandy, I'd never forget about you, how could I?" Spongebob said, Sandy laughed, "I know I was just kidding', well aren't y'all gonna come in, or are y'all gonna stand there all day?" Sandy asked as she ran back inside.

Spongebob laughed and followed after her, "So, what brings y'all here?" Sandy asked turning around to see him as she walked backward, "Oh, well um, I just missed you, I mean I haven't seen you in days and I wanted to come check on you." Spongebob said handing her the flowers.

"Those flowers for me! Oh how sweet" she said taking the gift from him and smelling them, they sat down at the picnic table, Sandy placed the empty vase in the middle of her table.

"So, Spongebob where were y'all this week that made y'all decide that y'all didn't want to come visit me?" she asked, "I didn't mean to not see you Sandy, honest." he said.

Sandy smiled, "I know, y'all are a busy sponge, I mean y'all work almost everyday and have boating school," Sandy said, Spongebob relaxed a bit, "Yeah, I would've came to see you but I was really busy." he said feeling like he had let her down.

"Awe, Spongebob don't feel bad, I was joking," she said placing her hand over his, making his face turn red, her hands were so soft and warm, he just wished he could hold them back, but knew if he did, it would make everything seem, awkward.

"How's um, science and inventing going?" Spongebob asked, "Boring, there wasn't as much to study today, so I've been sittin' around doin' really nothin'" Sandy said, "Oh, wow, have you came up with any new inventions, or experiments, or came across new research?" Spongebob asked.

Sandy shook her head, "Nah, even if I had, my bosses won't fund anything." Sandy said rolling her eyes, "Oh." Spongebob said looking at the water in the vase.

"How's life at The Krusty Krab?" Sandy asked, "Oh same old same old, flipping patties and cleaning what's new?" he questioned rolling his eyes, "No new spatula, or uniform changes?" Sandy asked, "Nah, only thing that changed was the billing of our existence." Spongebob said.

"Billing of Existence, what's that?" she asked, curious because she hadn't heard this story yet, Spongebob sighed, "It's when Krabs charges us for little things, like standing, breathing, breaks, um, what else is there?" he asked himself but he just shrugged it off, "Oh whatever it is, it doesn't matter, I mean it's just money." Spongebob smiled.

That's Spongebob alright, he's never in it for the money he says, he's just there to work and provide food for the good citizens of Bikini Bottom.

"Well, sounds like fun." Sandy sarcastically said with a smile.

"I guess you could say that," Spongebob shrugged picking up a glass that Sandy had brought out, but put it down, remembering that he couldn't really drink it with his helmet in the way.

"To be honest though, it can get pretty boring sometimes." Spongebob said, "boring, hm that's new." Sandy said handing Spongebob a tea packet to place in his helmet.

"but, I bet it's not as boring as sittin' around all day doin' nothin', sure there are times when the work gets interestin' but, the other times it's not" Sandy said.

"but, I think that your job is kinda fun, with mixing acids and bases together to make something new, like with mixing citric acid and baking soda." Spongebob said with a smile.

Sandy laughed, "Yea, but thats just baby science" Sandy rolled her eyes

"There's levels? see I didn't know that, you are just so smart, and that one of the things that I lo…" he covered his mouth to keep anything else he was bond to say back.

"Y'all what?" she asked

'Oh no, she caught me, wait no, I, I can turn this around,' he thought.

"Thats one of the things I love about being your best friend." he said with a nervous chuckle.

"Oh, well thanks, I guess." she laughed. The two friends just laughed and talked the rest of the day, until Spongebob realized how dark it was getting, and he had to go home.

Now alone Sandy walked inside her tree house, she cursed under her breath, "Dang that stupid sponge, why does he have to make things so difficult? Does he think I'm that stupid, I know what he was going to say, he knows that I love em, I swear he does, so why doesn't he come out and say it already?" she said aloud.

"Or why don't I come out and say it, I mean, but I'm too scared to tell em though" she said looking at the hard wooden floor, "Whatever, I just need to focus on getting some sleep." she said.

Spongebob slowly walked through the front door, once the door was shut behind his back, he fell to his knees, and punched the ground.

"Why am I so stupid! I would've ruined our friendship if I had confessed, and I nearly did. Why had I even said anything, why am I so careless?" he said to himself, "Why had I ever gone over there in the first place, whatever, I don't have time for this, I've got to get to sleep, it's getting late and some of us have to work for a living." he said standing back on his feet and walking up the stairs to his bedroom.

The two creatures went to bed, feeling hopeless, while thinking of each other, dreaming of each other.

Sandy's Dream: Sandy woke up, but she wasn't in her room, she was somewhere else, looking around she seen green grass all around her and orange sky above her, the sun was setting and she was in Jellyfish Fields.

Why was she in Jellyfish Fields?

Sandy sat up and looked around once again until she seen someone sit up next to her, and she realized that it was her friend, her best friend.

"Spongebob?"

Spongebob looked at Sandy and smiled, "Sandy." he said

"Y, yea?" she asked

Then one of the weirdest thing happened, he leaned close to her and kissed her, his lips were so soft and, warm, his tongue tasted of mint, which was a bit surprising since he was a sea creature and lived in Salt water, and she was kissing him back, and how was that possible, where was her helmet?

Spongebob pulled back, disconnecting their mouths, "Sandy." he whispered before he lightly bit her bottom lip.

He finally stopped and pulled back, he looked into her eyes while he reached into his pocket, pulling out a tiny white box.

Sandy gasped, he wasn't, was he? "Sandy Cheeks, I love you," and those three words just lingered around in the air, 'I love you, Sandy cheeks, I love you,' this has to be a dream.

"Will you Marry Me?" he asked opening the tiny box, but before he could finish opening the box, she woke up.

Sandy looked down at her covers, sad that, "It was only a stupid dream." she said laying back down she looked up at the ceiling, "but it felt so, real." she said as she touched her lips.

Spongebob's Dream: Screaming, why was there screaming? Why was there a crowd gathered around him, with pitchforks and torches, what had he done this time?

The city was trashed, buildings knocked down and burned, and here he was, in the center of it, surrounded by angry citizens.

"Kill It!"

"Get out of town!"

"Monster!"

"No, wait!" he said, but no one listened as they began to throw rocks, bricks to be exact.

"Die!" they shouted

How harsh? What did he do.

"Please, no, stop I'm sorry I didn't do anything!" he cried, but no one listened.

Among the crowd were his friends, and neighbors, boss, they too were angry and throwing things demanding for something horrible to be done to him, but the only one that wasn't doing anything was Sandy, she was crying, and trying to actually help him, but with so many fish, they held her back.

"Wait, no stop, let me see him!" she yelled

"Sandy!"

"Spongebob!" she shouted holding her hand out.

"That's not Spongebob, Sandy, that is the monster that killed him!" Krabs said, Sandy looked at Krabs.

"No!" she cried.

What was going on? Why is my face bleeding, what happened?

Spongebob woke up, shocked, scared, what kind of dream was that, more like nightmare if you asked me. He had never had a dream such as that one.

Spongebob just sat back in his bed, there is no way he is going to go back to sleep, knowing that he's probably have to same nightmare again.

"Why is my room so cold?" he asked himself pulling his blanket closer, but it wasn't much help, but the coldness wasn't the only thing he felt. Why did his room feel so dark and heavy? The feeling in his chest was just so unreal.

Spongebob turned his lamp on, he looked around for Gary, but found that his snail was nowhere in sight, "Gary." he whispered, but no answer, which isn't something you'd want to not hear.

Spongebob grabbed a flashlight from his nightstand, and then cautiously stepped down from his bed, but when he did he felt something grab hold of his ankle. Spongebob screamed, kicking and chopping at whatever had him, but whatever had him wasn't letting go.

Spongebob was then picked up, and dangled upside down, struggling to get loose, "Let go of me!" he screamed, "Put me down, where's Gary!" he shouted, but the figure holding him just laughed.

Immediately recognizing the tone, the flying dutchmen, why was he in his house, at this time, and why was he tormenting him? "You, let me go! I said put me down, and where's my snail!" Spongebob shouted.

"Shut up! and stop asking so many stupid questions!" the dutchmen yelled, "NO, where is he! What did you do to him, and why are you even here!" Spongebob shouted, "The stupid snail is fine, now shut up so I can focus!" he yelled again, but Spongebob wasn't having it, he would fight, he kicked and screamed, he punched and chopped.

The sponge however stopped talking and moving when he felt the sudden sharp pain feeling pass through his entire body, and the main place that it hurt was in his chest, he couldn't breathe, why couldn't he breathe! He then was dropped, the dutchmen was gone, but that didn't fix his current problem right now.

Spongebob ran, bursting out of his house, he instinctively ran to Sandy's treedome, knowing that's probably the only place that could help him.

He had made it just in time, he rushed into the tree dome, once he made it inside he fell, passing out on the green grass of the dome.

Sandy woke of to the loud sound of her door slamming shut, her front door, it was the middle of the night and no one lived there, except her, and so that meant that someone was trespassing into her home, in the dead of night, in her home.

Sandy jumped onto her feet, and rushed to the window to see who was outside, looking she seen something laying at her door, but she couldn't see who, or what it was.

Sandy rushed outside her tree house to get a closer look, and what she saw was something shocking, she had never seen one of these creatures down here, and especially in her home, why was there a human in her home? She didn't know but she was bound to find out sooner or later.

Thank you, good people for reading, and please tell me what you think of this chapter so far, until next time.
