Plot

The episode starts out with SpongeBob SquarePants jellyfishing in Jellyfish fields. Suddenly, he spots a young girl wrestling with a giant clam. He takes out his field guide book, and identifies her as a 'land squirrel'. SpongeBob thinks she is in trouble, and goes to wrestle the clam himself. The squirrel manages to escape the clam, but SpongeBob ends up inside of it. The squirrel then rescues SpongeBob, and throws the clam out of the area. SpongeBob introduces himself, and the squirrel says that her name is Sandy Cheeks. SpongeBob inquires about the helmet she wears, and Sandy tells him it's her air helmet. SpongeBob does not know what air is, but does not tell her this, instead saying that he loves it, and it is good, that air is his middle name, and that he can't get enough of it. Sandy, surprised that SpongeBob loves air, invites him to her 'treedome' for Texas tea and cookies. SpongeBob quickly runs over to his best friend Patrick Star and tells him everything that happened. Patrick tells him that 'putting on airs' is fancy talk. He then tells SpongeBob if he wants to be fancy, to hold his pinky high above him. Sandy Cheeks is a fictional animated character in the Nickelodeon animated series, SpongeBob SquarePants. ...

When SpongeBob arrives at Sandy's treedome, he goes inside, and notices that the water level drops. He panics, and tells Sandy that there is no water. She tells him that yes, it's just air. SpongeBob says that there isn't any problem, and then says "That's how I like my air." and breathes. He also does not realise that sea creatures need water. Sandy gives him a tour of her treedome, showing him that she has an oak tree, a bird bath, and other things. During this, SpongeBob quickly goes over to the bird bath, which is filled with water. SpongeBob gives Sandy some flowers, and Sandy decides to get a vase for them. Meanwhile, Patrick, watching from outside the treedome, tells SpongeBob to keep his pinky up. Sandy comes back and puts the flowers in a vase on the picnic table, with ice, cold water. SpongeBob tries to resist drinking the water, while Sandy goes to get the tea and cookies. SpongeBob eventually realizes that he needs water, drinks it, and runs for the door, declaring that he is a quitter. Patrick, thinking he is being shy around Sandy, enters the Treedome and tries to convince him to stay. After a moment Patrick realises that there is no water. The two struggle to get out of the treedome, but fail. When Sandy comes back, Patrick and SpongeBob are dried up on the grass. She helps them by giving them water-filled helmets (which are subsequently used every time they visit Sandy's house except in "Survival of the Idiots" when the air in the Treedome was filled with snow.) In the end, Sandy proposes a toast, to new friends, and they drink tea. SpongeBob and Patrick, of course, drink by gulping the tea-filled water in their new helmets.[1] Image File history File links Tea_at_the_treedome. ...
