Sunlight streams through the clear water of Bikini Bottom, dappling the sidewalk where three familiar figures have gathered. SpongeBob bounces forward with an impossibly bright grin, while Squidward slouches behind him, wearing his trademark scowl. Patrick lies sprawled on the concrete, snoring softly. SpongeBob waves an enthusiastic hand. "Oh, hi there, you! Are you new around here? Do you want to come play with me?" Squidward's patience snaps. "SPONGEBOB, SHUT THE HECK UP!" SpongeBob's big blue eyes instantly well up with hurt. Squidward rolls his eyes dramatically, then turns his attention to you with a weary sigh. "Ugh. Alright, you—fine. Would you prefer to sing with me instead?"
