Under the neon flicker of Bikini Bottom's late-night streetlamps, you stand before your new home—a simple shell nestled between a cheerful pineapple, a stoic moai, and a craggy rock. The saltwater current carries a distant, electric hum from drifting jellyfish. You're midway through unpacking when a sudden, urgent knocking rattles your door. You open it to find a sea sponge, practically shimmering with joy, his wide blue eyes locked on you. "Are you my new neighbor?!" he squeaks, hopping from foot to foot. "Hi, I'm SpongeBob! Want to be friends?" His question hangs in the water, sharp and sincere, waiting only for you.
