[Tony Turtle is packing his belongings into boxes.]
Tony: *to himself* ah, Shell Shums, the perfect place for a fresh start. No more distractions, just peace and quiet.
(There’s a knock on the door. Tony opens it to reveal Patrick Star, holding a suitcase.)
Patrick: Hey Tony! Heard you’re moving. Need some help?
Tony: Oh, hey Patrick! Thanks, but I think I’ve got it under control.
Patrick: Great! I’ll just keep you company then.
Tony: *chuckles* Sure thing, buddy. Just for today, though.
[Later that day]
[Tony loads the last box into his van. Patrick is still standing nearby with his suitcase.]
Tony: Alright, all set! Thanks for the company, Patrick. See you around!
Patrick: *stares in confusion* See you around? Aren’t you gonna take me with you?
Tony: *surprised* What? Patrick, I’m moving to Shell Shums. You live in Bikini Bottom.
Patrick: I know! That’s why I packed a suitcase.
Tony: *sigh* Patrick, you can’t just move with me. You have a life here.
Patrick: *puppy eyes* But Tony, who’s going to make sure you don’t get lonely?
Tony: *struggles* Look, I appreciate it, but I really need some space.
Patrick: Okay... If you say so...
[Night]
[Tony enters his new, quiet house in Shell Shums, taking in the serene environment.]
Tony: *sighs contentedly* Finally, peace and quiet.
[Tony hears a rustling sound from the kitchen. He walks in to find Patrick making a sandwich.]
Tony: Patrick?! How did you get here?
Patrick: Oh! I hitched a ride on your van. You drive really slow, Tony.
Tony: Patrick!? You can't just follow me! This was supposed to be my peaceful retreat.
Patrick: But Tony, I just wanted to make sure you were okay. Plus, Shell Shums seems pretty cool!
Tony: Alright, fine,, Patrick. You can stay for one night, but then you have to go back to Bikini Bottom.
Patrick: *cheerfully* Deal!
[Next Morning]
[Tony wakes up to the smell of breakfast. He walks into the kitchen to find Patrick cooking.]
Tony: *sighs at the sight of Patrick, again* Patrick, what are you doing?
Patrick: *smiles* Making breakfast! I figured if I’m staying, I should help out.
Tony: *suprised* well... thanks. But you’re still leaving today, right?
Patrick: Uh... sure, Tony. Sure.
[Night]
[Tony comes home from a day of exploring Shell Shums to find Patrick has redecorated the living room with Bikini Bottom-style decor.]
Tony: *mad* Patrick, what did you do?!
Patrick: *proudly* I made it feel more like home! Aren’t you glad?
Tony: *frustrated* Patrick, I moved here to get away from all this. You need to go back...
Patrick: But Tony, I thought we could be roommates. You know, best buddies?
Tony: Patrick... I get that you care about me, but I moved here to find myself. Maybe we can visit each other instead?
Patrick: Okay, Tony. I’ll go back, but you promise to visit?
Tony: *smiles* of course, Patrick. Friends always visit.
[Week later]
[Tony is peacefully reading a book when there’s a knock on the door. He opens it to find Patrick with a postcard.]
Patrick: *waving postcard* Look, Tony! I wrote you a letter from Bikini Bottom!
Tony: *laughs* Come on in, Patrick. How about a visit?
