'''Hello! So, I am back with another chapter. Hopefully it wont be too crappy XD Enjoy :)'''

                                                                                       Lovesick Sponge

The little sponge left the clinic, feeling down in the dumps and confused from everything the Doctor had told him.

He slowly walked towards his pineapple home, slumped over and dragging his feet.

As he slowly walked past Patrick's rock, Patrick jumped out at him from nowhere. "HEY SPONGEBOB!" He shouted.

"WHOA! Patrick, don't scare me like that!" stated SpongeBob, holding onto his chest from becoming frightened.

"Sorry. So how'd it go?" asked his pink friend. "are you gonna need an operation?" He continued.

"I wish. But no, I'm afraid not, buddy"

"Did you have the runs?"

"What? no, the Doctor said-"

"that you had toe fungus"

"No, He said-"

"you have a belly ache"

"something like that, but no-"

"You were infected with a monkey virus and now you're gonna start growing fur and a tail and turn into a monkey and you'll have to leave Bikini Bottom! Oh, THIS IS TERRIBLE! Why, SpongeBob?! WHY'D YOU HAVE TO ITCH YOUR NOSE OUT IN PUBLIC! WHY?!" Patrick cried.

"Patrick! I'm not leaving Bikini Bottom or turning into a monkey" said SpongeBob, trying to calm his friend down.

"Oh. why didn't you just say so?" asked Patrick, using his usual tone of voice again.

SpongeBob sighed. "it's hard to explain. I can't even understand it myself" He said while staring at the ground, his large blue eyes filled with sadness and confusion.

"Well come on, you can tell me!" said Patrick.

"Well... have you ever looked at someone for a moment, and all of a sudden within that moment, everything changes?" asked the serious sponge.

"Well, yeah! all the time".

"Really?" asked the sponge, hope ringing in his voice.

"Sure! the moment I see a slice of pizza, everything feels like an alternate universe. a universe filled with cheesy goodness" said Patrick, staring off into space.

SpongeBob's face drooped at his friend's utter stupidity. Sure, SpongeBob wasn't the brightest creature in the sea, but he at least had some common sense (most of the time).

"Never mind, Patrick. thanks for your help" He said in a gloomy tone, continuing on to his own house.

"Anytime, buddy!" Patrick shouted with a wave. "Mmm, I think I'll have that pizza now" He said. He turned to go back down inside his rock, but ended up slipping on a banana peel and falling into it instead.

SpongeBob opened the solid steel door to his pineapple, and shut it behind him. He leaned against it and slid down to the floor. Gary slithered over to him.

"Meow (How did it go?)"

SpongeBob let out another sigh "not very good, Gare bear" He said sadly, getting up from the floor and plopping down into his chair. Gary followed behind him.

"Meow (well, what happened?)"

"I'm.... Lovesick, Gary" He quietly and sadly stated.

"Meow (what do you mean?)" asked the interested snail.

"The Doctor said all of the odd things that have been happening to me lately means I have a crush on someone"

"Meow (Who is making you Lovesick?)"

"Sandy" He said, shaking his head.

"Meow! (I knew it!)"

"I just can't believe it, Gary. I like Sandy... how could this have happened? how am I going to face her at the science convention?" He said on the verge of tears, his little yellow hands covering his eyes.

"Meow (you've gotta tell her how you feel!)"

"Oh, Gary I can't do that! it'd ruin our friendship. She probably doesn't even feel the same way" He sighed. He spotted her picture that sat on top of the Television. "I've never felt this way before.... it's just like those romantic movies we watch where the guy likes his best friend. Those usually have happy endings, what's my ending gonna look like?" He asked himself.

~Imaginary Sequence~

He walked up to Sandy's treedome, sweating buckets. He cleared his throat, and rapped on the very outside door.

"Just a minute!" He heard through the speaker.

A moment later, She came out wearing her air helmet.

"Howdy Spong- Whaaa...?" her eyes widened at the sight before her.

There stood a well dressed SpongeBob, holding a gigantic heart-shaped card in front of him. Squidward stood in the background, playing a silly romantic tune on his clarinet, not doing a very good job with it.

"Heh heh, Hiya, Sandy!" he said, poking his head out from behind the massive card. "I was wondering-" before he could finish, Sandy slammed the door in his face. moments later, she came back out wearing her air suit and carrying two pieces of luggage. Suddenly, the red bus pulled up on the street and the automatic door opened in front of her.

"Get me outta here as soon as possible!" She shouted, stepping up onto the bus. And just like that, she was gone.

"B-b-b-but...." The sponge cried. "You mean I came all the way over here for nothing?! how pathetic! come on, Clary. let's go take our musical genius elsewhere" said Squidward, leaving poor little SpongeBob in the dust to sit and weep.

~End Imaginary Sequence~

SpongeBob shrieked at the images flashing through his head. "I guess I'll just have to keep this to myself" He said in a sad tone.

~French Narrator~ 

"Three days later".

'''I'm taking a quick break for a few hours before finishing this! I've got a headache and a bit of writer's block XD I know nobody's going to read this chapter anyway because obviously they'd have to read the first four chapters first. which I know hasn't happened yet so XD Be back soon to finish this.'''
