Synopsis

The episode begins with SpongeBob walking barefoot with Patrick, out on a nature walk into the forest. SpongeBob then decides to go explore a nearby ice cave. Inside the cave, Patrick gets his tongue stuck on the ice. SpongeBob uses hot chocolate to melt the ice, and Patrick is freed. However, the hot chocolate melts all the ice and Spongy Spongy emerges out of it. He then follows SpongeBob, fascinated by the squeak of his shoes. He then hides in SpongeBob's bag for the rest of his trip.
