Wendy meets SpongeBob SquarePants and Patrick Star

In the glade of the forest, Wendy made her way into the center of the woods, calling out his name twice.

"Mister Meerkat! Oh, Mister Meerkat!"

However, Timon was gone again. There was still no luck for the London-dwelling girl to catch the meerkat.

"Oh, dear. I’m sure he came this way,” she said, looking around with her fists on her hips. "Do you suppose he could be hiding somewhere?"

Little did she know that there was a sea sponge and a starfish peeking from behind the bushes.

The sea sponge was a yellow square-shaped one with blue eyes, wearing brown squared shorts, a white short-sleeved shirt, a red tie, a black belt, white knee-high socks with red and blue stripes, and black shoes. His name was SpongeBob SquarePants.

The starfish was a pink one wearing only light green shorts with purple flowers. His name was Patrick Star, SpongeBob's best friend.

"Where could he possibly be hiding?" Wendy wondered, as she looked behind a tree. The sponge and starfish moved between the bushes and the tree, yet they were hidden within a shadow. As Wendy turned toward an open log, the sponge and starfish moved next to the tree and they stood right behind her.

"Not here…," Wendy said, before kneeling down to the log’s level. "I wonder..."

As she crawled into the log, the sponge and starfish looked at each other and skipped on top of the log in unison, before stopping in front of the other side of the log. Once Wendy came out from the log, she stood still for a moment and brushed her nightgown with her hands.

"I suppose he—" she started to say, before she jolted and gasped in shock when she turned and glanced at the sponge and starfish.

"Why… what peculiar sea animals."

Just then, she spotted two blue ribbons with their names embroidered in yellow and read them one at a time: "SpongeBob SquarePants...And Patrick Star!"

Wendy placed a finger on the sponge's nose, and a low honking sound came out of his mouth, surprising her.

"If you think we're made of wax, you ought to pay to see us, you know." SpongeBob said, and he jabbed his friend with his left elbow. As a result, a high honking noise emitted from Patrick's mouth.

"If you think we've come to life, you ought to say something to us." Patrick added, before jabbing his friend with his right elbow. The same low honk came out of SpongeBob's mouth, and SpongeBob bounced into Patrick, the same high honk emitting from him. The sponge and starfish then hopped on the log and made the same honking noises by jabbing one another with their small feet, svelte/heavyweight hips, torsos, and backs before landing on the grassy terrain.

"That's logic!" the sponge and starfish said in unison, holding their left index fingers up.

"Well," Wendy said with a short chuckle, as she gave them a short curtsey. "It's been nice meeting you boys. Goodbye."

Just as she started walking away, however, the sponge and starfish darted and stood right in her way.

"You’re beginning backwards." SpongeBob said to her.

"Aye, the first thing to say actually is,” Patrick added, before the sponge and starfish broke out in song again and took Wendy's hands. They spun her around in a circle, like a game of ring-around-the-Rosie, before they shook her hands rapidly and released her, causing her to fall on the ground.

SpongeBob and Patrick: *How do you do*
*And shake hands*
*Shake hands*
*Shake hands*
*How do you do*
*And shake hands*
*State your name and business*

"That's manners!" the sponge and starfish said to her, holding up their opposite index fingers in front of her.

The two front bangs of Wendy's hair were covering her face, so Wendy flipped them out of the way to give herself a better view.

"Really?" Wendy asked them, and she then stood up on her feet. "Well, my name is Wendy. Wendy Moira Angela Darling, and I’m following a beige meerkat, so—"

As she turned to leave, the sponge and starfish suddenly appeared in front of her again, stopping her in her tracks.

"You can't leave yet." SpongeBob said to her, waving his hands in front of her.

"No, the visit has just started." Patrick added.

"I'm very sorry, but—" Wendy said as she continued walking, with the sponge and starfish still in her way.

"Would you like to play hide and seek?" Patrick asked, as multiple clones of the sponge and starfish popped up from the trees and a single bush. The clones disappeared, and the sponge and starfish then fused themselves into one body, yet their legs and arms were still with each of the sponge and starfish.

"Button! Button! Who's got the button?" SpongeBob said.

"No thank you." Wendy replied to them politely, only to see the sponge and starfish in front of her again in fighting stances.

"If you stay a little longer, we’ll have a battle." Patrick said, and the sponge and starfish began bopping one another in a honking, comical fight.

"That’s very kind of you, but I must get going." Wendy said, as she gently pushed them out of the way. The sponge and starfish then jolted in front of her and stood next to two trees that served as an archway in the woods.

"Why?" they asked her in unison.

"Because I’m following a beige meerkat." Wendy answered them, only to be blocked by them again.

"Why?" the sponge and starfish asked her once more.

"Well, I'm curious to know where he's going." Wendy replied to them, before finally starting to leave again.

"Ohhh, she's curious." Patrick whispered, as he and SpongeBob had inquisitive expressions on their faces.

"The oysters were curious, too, weren’t they?” Patrick whispered to him, causing Wendy to stop and turn around to listen to what the sponge and starfish were saying.

"Aye. And you remember what happened to them."

The sponge and starfish huddled with one another and started crying before Wendy came walking straight back to them.

"Poor things!" they said in sad voices.

"Well, what did happen to the oysters?" Wendy asked them. SpongeBob and Patrick began marching towards the log.

"Oh, you wouldn’t be interested in hearing about it." SpongeBob said to her.

"Oh, but I am." Wendy replied to them, as she followed them and got in front of them.

"Ohhh, no. You’re in much too much of a hurry." said Patrick.

Wendy was still in front of them as she was walking in reverse towards the log, and said, "Well, perhaps I could spare a little time."

"You could?" the sponge and starfish said, smiles of delight forming on their faces. "Well!"

With that said, SpongeBob and Patrick placed Wendy on the log before making back-flips and landed in front of the bushes and trees.
