Chapter Text
Spongebob woke up, ate his special breakfast that was given by the staff, said his goodbyes to Squiliam and went on a nice walk as the golden light of the sun shined on the road to the pineapple house.
It was a pleasant stroll except for the sight of Sandy's treedome still empty and just sitting there, reminding the sponge of the situation.
The grass was overgrown and weeds grew, the table where he would have picnics with Sandy and Patrick had dust on it, the hamster wheel had cobwebs and the tree looked like it was ripe with Acorns.
"Man, it's such a shame that the treedome is so empty."
After walking all the way to the Pineapple, an idea suddenly popped into the yellow sponge's head: He could make an acorn farm!
True, the sponge was anything but a good gardener, but he knew Squidward was good at gardening. Plus, Squarepants couldn't let the treedome just sit there neglected, he needed to do something nice for Sandy.
Opening the door, he was greeted by the sight of Fluttershy and Gary snuggling with each other, sleeping on the couch. "Awwww"
Fluttershy woke up and yawned, "Hello there Spongebob! Gary was a little difficult at times, like when he needed to bathe, but it wasn't nothing I couldn't handle."
Gary woke up as well, meowing and moving towards his owner, "Hi Gare Bear~! Did you enjoy your time with Fluttershy~?"
"Meow!"
"That's good!"
Giving a nice hug to Gary, Spongebob went to the phone to call his neighbor and possibly his new friends for his idea of giving Sandy's home a makeover.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2 hours later, the group arrived inside the treedome with gardening tools while Jimmy and Dexter were mapping out a new area for the squirrel's house, which would be a mini acorn farm, so she could make her delicious nut butter.
The first thing was to clean up the dome so it would look nice for the squirrel should she ever return.
"Alright guys, ready to get to work?"
Many nodded except for the welcome home crew and Y/n, who were looking out of the dome while a muffled argument happened between the boy geniuses about who should build the area.
"Wally? Is everything alright?"
Wally Darling looked towards the concerned sponge and nodded, "Oh yes! We're just waiting for a friend of ours! We asked if he could help out and he agreed to do it!"
"And I also invited a family to help out with this. I hope this is okay with you, Spongebob."
"Oh! Well, I just hope they aren't completely lazy or anything like that. This is a big project."
Eddie smiled, "Rest assured, our good friend is anything but lazy!" The sound of a truck pulling up was heard from the dome, and the puppets smiled. Julie bounced up and down, "He's here! He's here!"
Out of the truck came an apple dressed with a green shirt and white overalls.
He also had brown shoes and vibrant green eyes as he made his way to the treedome, and as soon as the apple farmer entered, Julie ran up and gave him a big bear hug, "ANDY! IT'S SO GOOD TO SEE YOU!"
"Good.....to see you too....Julie....."
Andy was let go, and went to Spongebob, "Hi there! I'm Andy the Apple. What's your name?"
"I'm Spongebob Squarepants! Nice to meet you Andy!"
The two shook hands as a cart with a giant snail pulled up with a family of frogs and a human girl inside: Hop pop Plantar, Spring Plantar, Anne Boonchuy, Polly Plantar and Frobo. They got out of the cart and went inside.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Once everyone got introduced to each other, the work began.
Jimmy and Dexter got beat by Timmy wishing for a new dome area since they couldn't agree on who was going to build the place.
Frobo used vacuum cleaners to clean both the wheel and the table, and hop pop oiled the wheel. Anne, Y/n, and Sprig were deweeding the lawn while Mike Schmidt was riding on the lawnmower cutting the grass down to size.
Spongebob, Andy, and the rest were picking the acorns that were ripe and putting them in baskets.
While everyone was working on the treedome, a bus was driving to Bikini Bottom with a single passenger going back to the city and her home.
She didn't know about the surprise.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
After 4 hours passed, the farm was completed.
Spongebob and the others rested on the tree, proud of their hard work, before noticing the bus pulling up and letting the passenger off.
"Hey Spongebob, who's that on the other side?"
"Huh....." Spongebob gasped excitedly, and got up.
On the other side of the road was Sandy Cheeks, who had suitcases.
