Plot

SpongeBob SquarePants introduces Gary the Snail to Patrick Star, and they have a sleep-over together. The next morning, Gary doesn't want to leave Patrick. Out of jealousy, SpongeBob gets a new pet, just to show to Gary that he doesn't mind Gary not being with him. At first, he gets Rex, a worm. He also leaves him. Next, he gets Larry, who's very rude and arrogant. He also leaves him. Later, when Patrick does his laundry, at SpongeBob's house, Gary crawls in to the washing machine and Patrick thinks that Gary liked him for his shorts, but SpongeBob finds out that Gary only wanted the cookie that was inside Patrick's pocket. As SpongeBob and Gary, now reunited, go outside for a walk, a heartbroken Patrick stares after them and shouts, "Gary? I thought what we had was special!"
