That's What Friends Do

A friend is a friend,

Til the end of the end

That's forever,

and a day

Stay by your side,

won't hear me say goodbye,

Come what may

Cos that's what friends do,

That's what friends do

Cos that's what friends do,

That's what friends do

Cos that's what friends do,

[edit] Plot

SpongeBob and Patrick befriend Wormy.

Sandy Cheeks is taking a trip somewhere, so she leaves SpongeBob SquarePants and Patrick Star in charge of her pets. Their favorite one is a caterpillar named Wormy. They play with him for a long time. They do not want the day to end, because they want to play more with Wormy. SpongeBob gives him a 'best friend ribbon' and he and Patrick promise to come back the next morning.

Wormy—Butterfly

Overnight, Wormy turns into a butterfly. The following day, SpongeBob and Patrick find the butterfly in Wormy's jar. They let it go, and then come to the conclusion that it must have eaten Wormy (they do not realize that it actually is Wormy having gone through metamorphosis). They start panicking and set up traps, but they do not work, until SpongeBob blows a bubble to trap the butterfly. It goes out of Sandy's treedome and heads towards the Krusty Krab, where Squidward Tentacles is about to take a picture of Eugene H. Krabs with his first dollar. SpongeBob and Patrick go through the 'secret entrance', and hide inside the boat/counter. They tell them about the 'monster', but Squidward and Mr. Krabs think it's harmless. They look closer, and see a frightening buzzing creature (an extreme closeup of a butterfly), and run away. SpongeBob and Patrick think that the butterfly's eaten them, and warn Bikini Bottom. It's only then that the destruction starts, with a conflagration similar to the one that struck London in the 1600s. It's not until Sandy gets back that the terror ends.

[edit] Trivia/Goofs

Wormy is a Monarch Butterfly.
Wormy's stage of metamorphosis could not have been completed in one night; it takes a very long time for it to turn into a butterfly. In this case, Monarch butterflies usually spend ten to fifteen days in pupation.
The close up of the butterfly shows the head of a buzzing horse-fly.
During the news flash about the "monster," the live-action stock footage shown suggests that Wormy is actually a female butterfly, due to the thick veins on its wings.
Wormy as a butterfly is trapped in a bubble blown by SpongeBob while they are in the Treedome. How does he blow the bubble with his water helmet on?
When Patrick is with the people holding up SpongeBob and Sandy, he does not have his eyebrows. And later on at one part there, when Sandy's arm is in the way, Patrick's eyes aren't drawn on him.
In some times, during quick action in Sandy's treedome bubbles are seen, although there cannot be bubbles if there's no underwater.
When Sandy catches the bubble with Wormy inside, it shows her shoving the bubble in the container, thus causing it to pop. Sandy was outside the treedome when she did it, however, no water rushed into the jar.
in the Krusty Krab scene, after Squidward and Mr. Krabs freak out and run away, two pairs of underwear are seen left behind, but Squidward doesn't wear underwear.

[edit] Quotes

SpongeBob: Look at him Patrick! Isn't he great? (to Wormy) Hey little fella.

Patrick: Goochie goochie goo goo.

SpongeBob: Awww, look, isn't he just precious? Let's take him out to play!

SpongeBob: We can't just leave this horrible monster in Sandy's house. It might eat Sandy's other pets!

Patrick: Or worse it might eat Sandy's pets.

SpongeBob: No, it might eat Sandy.

SpongeBob: Patrick! You're alive!

Patrick: I am?

Sandy: (looking around) Shoot! Looks like a twister hit this place!
Sandy: Oh, hi there, Wormy. You were not supposed to change until I got back. (Puts Wormy in a jar) That ought to hold you, little guy! (everyone emerges from their hiding spaces and cheer) Oh, howdy, SpongeBob.

SpongeBob: Sandy caught the monster!

Sandy: Wow, I did not know I was missed so much... Golly! Maybe I should go out of town more often!
