[Suddenly, Spongebob finds himself teleported back to Bikini Bottom. To everyone freaking out over the volcano. To everyone looking to find an excuse. He knows it can't be real but everything feels so real.
"...If you keep going like this, it won't matter either way. There won't be anything left to save!"
"Deep thoughts, SpongeBob, but we’re kinda busy here —"
"I’m not finished! At a time like this, we should be coming together. Instead, you're all looking for someone to blame, or to follow, to exploit, or control!"
"You're all so scared for yourselves that you're turning against each other! And that's just as dangerous as any volcano."
"It doesn't have to be like this. We might only have seven minutes left, but we could make them the best seven minutes ever,"
"Like I said before, SpongeBob, the world's a horrible place filled with fear, suffering and despair. And you didn't believe me!"
"I still don't! Just look at the sun... It's still shining! And look at the kelp... It's still... kelp-y. Look at us... We still have each other!"
When he's brought back, Spongebob finds tears running down his face again, this time tears of joy. How foolish was he, to remember that and see it as a sign to give up, and not a sign that there's still hope in the world. That no matter what happens they're still friends who love each other.
He rests his head on Peregrine's shoulder, quiet for a moment. Just savoring the fact that they still have time together.]
I love you too, Per. Thanks for not giving up on me.
