Out of Control
"BOOM"
"What was that?" says a drowsy Mr. Krabs.
"Oh, no! The Krusty Krab! It's been destroyed!"
He runs out of his house, and to his now destroyed restaurant.
"Arrgh...what could have caused this? Plankton's out of town, Spongebob's home. What could have it been?"
"I saw what happened." says Seth, who walks up behind him, seemingly injured by an explosion.
"What happened to my restaurant, Seth.?"
"I was just walking over to see Spongebob, and I walked by the place, and suddenly, the place blew up right next to me. I think when the blast blew me into the front of the Chum Bucket, I broke my arm."
"Hmmm...it seems the propane tanks exploded." says Mr. Krabs.
Suddenly, he notices a boat wrecked on the side of the road.
"What happened here? Who's boat is this?"
They look around and find the driver.
"Huh, what happened?" says Patrick.
"We were about to ask you the same thing, Pat."
"I was just driving by, and, BOOM, my boat gets blown into a rock." He groans in pain from the impact.
"You ok?"
"I think I need an ambulance."
"I'll go call one, Mr. Krabs, go call Spongebob."
"Ok."
[Ring tone]
"Uhhh....Spongebob?"
"Yeah, Mr. Krabs?"
"There's been an accident at the Krusty Krab. The place blew up, and blew Seth into the front of the Chum Bucket. He thinks he broke his arm. It also caused Patrick's boat to slam head on into a rock, he's on his way to the hospital."
"What's going to happen to the Krusty Krab?"
"We'll rebuild. I'm going to give you time off, based on the estimated time it'll take to rebuild, which might be a long time."
"Paid?"
"...yes..."
"Ok."
He hangs up.
"Great, now what do we do?"
"Meow."
"No, Gary, we're not moving out of town. Wait a minute! I've got an idea!"
[Ring Tone]
"Hello?"
"Hi."
"Oh, hi Spongebob."
"How's it going?"
"Ok, why?"
"Well...there's been an accident."
"WHAT?!"
"Yeah, the Krusty Krab blew up, it blew Seth into the front of the Chum Bucket, and caused Patrick's boat to crash into a rock."
"Really?"
"Yes."
"Great, just great. Your place of work is gone, my cousin was nearly blown to bits, and Patrick's in the hospital."
"Well, the doctor said Pat will be ok, Mr. Krabs gave me time off while they rebuild, and even though Seth thought he broke his arm, he didn't."
"Well, what do we do now?"
"I've got an idea. Let's fire up my boat, and get out of here, just the two of us!"
"Ok, I'll be there in a few minutes."
"Ok, see ya then, Sandy."
