(Scene cuts to Nat walking into his kitchen where Shubie and Susie are already eating breakfast)
Susie: "Good morning, Dad!"
Nat: "Good morning, Susie!"
Susie: "Are you coming to my game on Sunday?"
Nat: "Of course, Susie! I wouldn't miss it."
Susie: "Yay! Can we go to park and practice after school today?"
Nat: "Oh I'm sorry, Susie, but I have to work late today. Don't worry though, I'll be home tomorrow since it's Saturday. We can practice then."
Susie: "Okay!" Shubie checks her watch.
Shubie: "I'd better take you to school, Susie. We don't want to be late. Don't forget your lunch."
Susie: "Okay, Mom." Susie grabs her lunch and skips out of the room. Shubie grabs her and Susie's plates and puts them in the dishwasher.
Shubie: "Okay Nat, I'll be heading straight to the mall after I drop Susie off at school. Have a good day at work today."
Nat: "Thanks, Shubie. You too." Shubie walks out of the room. Nat finishes eating and puts his plate in the dishwasher. Nat walks outside and notices Martha Smith planting flowers in her garden. 
Nat: "Good morning, Martha!"
Martha: "Good morning, Nat!" Nat walks over to his boat. Sadie Rechid walks past Nat's house pushing her baby in a baby carriage. Sadie waves at Nat.
Sadie: "Hi Nat! Have a great day at work!"
Nat: "Thanks, Sadie!" Nat gets in his boat and drives off to work.
Sadie: "Oh he's so charming!"
(Scene cuts to Nat at a business meeting)
Boss: "Hey guys! Thank you all for arriving on time today. It's time for everyone's favorite activity, reviewing our quarterly report! Unfortunately we were once again one of the lowest performing Snail-Po branches. Our branch's sales were down for the eighth quarter in a row. In fact, this past month's sales were the lowest we've had in over twenty years. Not to panic though, our marketing team has come up with many new ideas to increase sales. Starting with…" Nat falls asleep.
(Scene cuts to a teenage Nat running down a football running down a football field) Nat scores a touchdown.
Announcer: "Nat Peterson scores! Bikini Bottom defeats Rock Bottom and is headed to the state championship! Bikini Bottom is going to state!" Nat takes his helmet off and throws it away in celebration, The crowd cheers. A teenage Shubie jumps out of the stands and kisses Nat.
Crowd: "Nat! Nat! Nat!"
(Scene cuts back to the meeting)
Boss: "Nat? Nat? Nat!" Nat wakes up.
Nat: "Huh?"
Boss: "Did you hear what I just said? Are you done with the reports I assigned you?"
Nat: "Oh, no. I'm not done with them yet."
Boss: "I'm going to need you to come to the office and work on them this weekend. Headquarters needs them by Monday."
Nat: "Monday?! You told me that they weren't due for another week."
Boss: "Change of plans, Nat. Headquarters wants those reports by Monday. Well actually, they wanted those reports last week but I pushed them off to the side. This branch is kind of behind on everything as you all know."
Nat: "I don't know if I can come in this weekend. I already promised my daughter that I'd go to her baseball game on Sunday."
Boss: "Nat, I don't think you understand how critical it is that we hand in those reports by Monday. If we miss another deadline, who knows what will happen! Headquarters could shut this branch down and put us all out of the job! We all know that they've been thinking of doing exactly that for months now." Nat sighs.
Nat: "Okay. I'll have those reports ready on Monday."
Boss: "Thanks, Nat."
(Scene cuts to Nat eating breakfast the next day) Shubie puts a plate of eggs in front of him.
Shubie: "Here's your breakfast, Nat."
Nat: "Thanks, Shubie." Susie runs in the room.
Susie: "Daddy! Daddy! What time are we going to the park today?" Nat sighs.
Nat: "I'm sorry, Susie. I can't go to the park today. I have to go to work and then I have plans tonight. I won't be home until after your bed time."
Susie: "But you told me you would practice with me today."
Nat: "I know, but my boss needs me to work today. I have important work to finish."
Susie: "Oh okay. You're still coming to my game tomorrow, right?" Nat sighs.
Nat: "Sorry, Susie. I won't be able to go to your game. I have to work tomorrow too." Susie frowns. Shubie walks over to Susie.
Shubie: "Why don't you go play with Isabel, Susie? I'm sure she would love to have you over at her house."
Susie: "Okay." Susie opens the front door and leaves. Shubie walks over to the front door. Shubie sees Fred Rechid and Monroe playing catch in their front yard across the street.
Monroe: "Thanks for playing catch with me today, Dad! You're the best dad ever!"
Fred: "You're welcome, Monroe! I'm so glad that I took the day off from my high paying job to spend time with you today!" Susie frowns and runs over to Isabel's house. Shubie frowns. Shubie closes the front door and walks back into the kitchen. Nat finishes eating and gets up.
Nat: "Alright, well I'm off to work."
Shubie: "Nat, wait. You should really try to spend some more time with Susie." Nat sighs.
Nat: "I can't, Shubie. I'll be working all day today and then I have plans tonight."
Shubie: "Why can't you cancel the plans?"
Nat: "Shubie, I made these plans over a week ago. I can't just cancel them now. It's not like I'm avoiding Susie on purpose. I thought I'd be able to spend a lot of time with her this weekend. I had no idea I would have to work on the weekend again."
Shubie: "I know it's not your fault, Nat, but this separation has been really hard for Susie. She hasn't been as cheerful as she used to be. Even her teacher at school, Mrs. Anchovy, has started to notice. Not seeing you often lately has only made her more upset. Are you free after work tomorrow? Why don't we all go to the Krusty Krab for dinner? I'm sure Susie would love that."
Nat: "Yeah I should be free tomorrow night. That sounds like a great idea, Shubie."
Shubie: "Perfect. Susie will be thrilled when I tell her." Nat walks outside and over to his boat. Sadie walks past his house pushing her baby in a baby carriage.
Sadie: "Hi Nat!"
Nat: "Hi Sadie!" Nat gets in his boat and drives away.
Sadie: "Oh he's so handsome! If only he were mine."
(Scene cuts to Nat walking into Snail-Po) Nat walks up to the front desk.
Octopus woman: "Oh hi, Nat! I didn't know you were coming in today."
Nat: "Yeah neither did I until I was told that I needed to yesterday. Do you have those reports I need to finish?"
Octopus woman: "I left them in your office." Nat walks into his office and sees that it's filled with large stacks of papers. Nat sighs.
Nat: "This is going to take a while."
(Scene cuts to Shubie walking over to Nancy and Frank's house where Susie and Isabel are playing outside)
Shubie: "Hi Nancy! Hi Frank! I'm here to pick up Susie."
Nancy: "Hi Shubie! It's so nice to see you! So are you seeing anyone right now?"
Shubie: "Oh no, I haven't been with anyone since Nat and I separated. I'm not really looking to jump back into the dating scene right now."
Nancy: "Oh come on, Shubie! You and Nat have been separated for two years now. It's about time you give someone else a chance. There's plenty of single guys in the neighborhood to choose from!"
Shubie: "Well I don't really think there's that many single guys…"
Nancy: "Nonsense! There's Pilar!" Nancy points at Pilar who walks straight into a street sign.
Pilar: "Ow!"
Nancy: "Clayton!" Nancy points at Clayton who is picking his nose.
Clayton: "Duh… Oh! I wasn't picking my nose! I swear!"
Nancy: "Scooter!" Nancy points at Scooter who is driving by in his boat. Scooter waves at Nancy and Shubie.
Scooter: "Cowabunga ladies!" 
Shubie: "Scooter, watch out!" Scooter crashes his boat into a fire hydrant because he wasn't paying attention to where he was driving.
Scooter: "Aw man! My surfboard has a scratch on it."
Nancy: "And Harold!" Nancy points at Harold. Debbie walks past Harold.
Harold: "Hey Debb-aye! How 'bout you and me get some grub later?"
Debbie: "O-M-Gross! That is like so totally not coral! Ew!" Debbie pepper sprays Harold.
Harold: "Ouch! My eyes!"
Nancy: "And there's plenty of other single guys out there!"
Shubie: "Thanks, Nancy, but I'm really not looking for another relationship right now."
Nancy: "Come on, Shubie! Don't you think Nat has been with other people since you two separated?"
Shubie: "No, not really. He briefly dated Sally a little while after we separated. Then he dated Tina. Oh and he also went on a few dates with Martha but that's it."
Nancy: "Sounds like Nat's jumped back into the dating scene. Speaking of Nat, where is he?"
Shubie: "He's at Snail-Po right now. They made him work this weekend. Then he has plans later tonight so he won't be home for a while."
Nancy: "Ooooo! Are these 'plans' with a girl?"
Shubie: "No. He's probably going bowling with some of the guys tonight. He isn't seeing anyone right now. At least not that I know of."
(Scene cuts to Nat and Abigail at a restaurant)
Abigail: "This food is delicious. I'm so glad you could make it tonight, babe."
Nat: "Of course. I wouldn't miss our six month anniversary. So how has work been?"
Abigail: "It's been good. I'm working on a script right now for a romantic comedy about a librarian who falls in love with a circus clown. Hopefully Reef Cinema or BBTV will pick it up. I think it has a lot of potential."
Nat: "That sounds like a great film! I would definitely see it if it was playing at Reef Cinema."
Abigail: "Thanks, Nat. So how has work been for you?"
Nat: "You know, same old, same old. My boss is having me work the whole weekend because the branch is behind on some stuff."
Abigail: "That's just awful! They really overwork you there, Nat."
Nat: "I know but it's a good job and I need it to support Susie."
Abigail: "Well that makes sense. Do you have anything fun planned for next week?"
Nat: "Not really. Shubie organized a dinner for me, her and Susie at the Krusty Krab tomorrow so that I can spend some more time with Susie. I haven't spent much time with her lately since I've been working so much."
Abigail: "Oh that sounds like so much fun! I'm sure your daughter will love it." The waiter walks over to them.
Waiter: "Here's your bill! Have a wonderful evening." The waiter walks away. Nat grabs the bill.
Nat: "I got it."
(Scene cuts to Shubie and Susie standing outside of the Krusty Krab the next day)
Susie: "Where's Dad?" Shubie checks her watch.
Shubie: "I don't know. He said he'd be here by now." Nat walks over to Shubie and Susie.
Nat: "Hi guys! Sorry I'm a little late! I just had to finish up those reports for work. Let's get some Krabby Patties!"
(Scene cuts to Nat, Shubie and Susie eating in the Krusty Krab)
Nat: "So how was your game today, Susie?"
Susie: "You should've seen me, Dad! Our team won and I hit a single!"
Shubie: "Yep, Susie played pretty well today."
Nat: "That's great to hear, Susie! I'm sorry I missed your game. I'll try to make the next one."
Shubie: "I'm stuffed. Those Krabby Patties really hit the spot."
Nat: "Yeah I can't eat another bite."
Susie: "Can we get some ice cream, Mom?" Shubie looks at her watch.
Shubie: "I'm sorry, Susie, but Goofy Goober's closes in 10 minutes and we still have to pay for the food. I don't think we'll make it there in time."
Susie: "Oh okay."
Nat: "Why don't you take Susie to Goofy Goober's, Shubie? I'll take care of the bill."
Shubie: "Okay. You still want some ice cream, Susie?"
Susie: "Yes!" Susie gets up and skips joyfully out of the Krusty Krab. Shubie gets up and places her hand on Nat's shoulder.
Shubie: "Thanks, Nat. Dinner was wonderful. I haven't seen Susie this happy in weeks."
Nat: "You're welcome, Shubie. It was a great idea for us to do this." Shubie walks away.
Nat: "Alright, it's time to pay the bill. Oh no, what's this?" Nat looks through his wallet but can't find any money.
Nat: "Oh no! I must've spent all of my cash on me and Abigail's dinner last night! And I already maxed out my credit card for the month! Barnacles! I don't have any money to pay for the food! NOOOOOO!"
Martha: "Ugh! Will you pipe down? You're ruining my romantic date with Tom." Nat looks over and sees Martha and Tom at the table next to him.
Nat: "Oh sorry. Hey, Tom."
Tom: "Hey." Martha sighs.
Martha: "How much was it? $12? Here. I'll pay for your meal if it'll get you to stop causing such a ruckus in here." Martha hands Nat some money.
Nat: "Are you sure, Martha?"
Martha: "Yeah, why not? I'm rich. I have plenty of money to spend. Plus, you and Shubie have always been good neighbors."
Nat: "Thanks, Martha!"
Martha: "You're welcome. Now let me get back to my date!" Nat puts the $12 on the table and leaves the restaurant.
Nat: "Well, that's a relief. Now I can head home and enjoy the rest of my night. Wait, what's this? $5 for parking?! It used to be free to park here! NOOOOOOOOOO!" Nat falls down on his knees. Sadie walks out of the Krusty Krab with a to go order.
Sadie: "Hi Nat. What seems to be the problem?"
Nat: "I didn't know it costs $5 to park here now, and I don't have any money."
Sadie: "Oh, here's $5." Sadie grabs a $5 bill out of her wallet and hands it to Nat.
Nat: "Really?"
Sadie: "Of course! I'd do anything for my great and incredibly handsome neighbor."
Nat: "Wow! Thanks Sadie! You're the best!" Nat puts $5 into the payment machine and drives away.
Sadie: "Ah, he's so dreamy."
