And yes, I did write a Spongebob Squarepants fanfiction. It takes place in an alternate "Spongecano" timeline where the ancient warrior dolphin never appeared and there was no solution for the volcano. On with the story!
Volcano Shelter, Bikini Bottom, 3 PM
"Well, how are we going to stop this, mayor?!" yells a citizen.
"Please remain calm, we are working to fix this crisis," says the mayor, his calm voice straining,"Now, the city of Bikini Bottom would like you to all please stay here at the Volcano Shelter tonight. Tomorrow, you can check on you homes. Can anyone with pets and/or small children please speak to officer Nancy after the meeting. I know you all are concerned for your well-being and that or your pets and families. This will be resolved quickly and efficiently so there is no need to worry."
"Mayor! You need to stop this! Is it the end of the world? What aren't you telling us!" a blue shark yells. He starts to walk up to the mayor's podium. A police officer of the BBPD "escorts" him away.
The mayor walks off of the stage while officer Nancy keeps the room under control. In a small conference room, administrator Flotsam, mayor Mliffly, and Police Chief Priss discuss the current situation.
"Look, the whole volcano thing is getting worse and we have no solution. How many people are still outside? And why hasn't this place burned?" asks Flotsam.
"Administrator, shouldn't you be thinking of providing medication to anyone here with medical needs? However, to address your questions, A) I'm not sure how many people are outside. I'll send people out to look. B) This building was designed to withstand fallout. It is impervious to basic biologic attacks, fire, and water damage. Anything else, mayor or administrator?" says Priss.
"We are going to need to compile a list of resources. Food, water, generators, medical supplies, etc. Administror Flotsam, we are going to need to know who has special medical needs and how many supplies do we have to give them. How many diabetics do we have? Hundreds? People on anti-depressants? Do we have any communications, Al?" rants Mliffly.
"Look, mayor, I know you are nervous. We all are. This is going to be handled. First I need you to calm people down. The higher-ups of local authority are all in a back conference room while officer Nancy has to handle most of the town. We have a few hundred people out there. This is a town of 550,000."
"Well put, Al. Let's go conclude this meeting."
"After you, mayor. Thanks for your insights, Al." says Flotsam. The three walk out of the room.
Thank you for reading. There will be more, dont worry. The main characters will be in too.
