Chapter One: Taunting at the Krusty Krabs

It was a another beautiful day in Bikini Bottom. The sun was beaming it celestial rays down on the soft, sandy floor. It was a Saturday afternoon, at the peak of Noon. Inside the Krusty Krabs, the restaurant was a packed house. There was a long line, people waiting to order there Krabby Patties. Squidward was at the cash counter, taking the orders and giving them to Spongebob and Melissa, who were busily working up a sweat, grilling the patties, preparing the smoothies, and taking the order to the customers. Mr. Krabs was watching the whole routine, grinning happily at all the money that he was making. The customers happily sat at their tables, eating the Krabby Patties.

Melissa was delivering one of the Krabby Patties to a group of teenagers that were hanging around, with Pearl seated in the Group.

"Hey, Melissa. What's up," Pearl greeted.

"Hi, Pearl. It's been a mad house in here today," Melissa greeted back, wiping sweat from her forehead. She served the tray filled with Krabby Patties to Pearl's group. "There's you order. All of you enjoy the food, okay," Melissa said.

"No, wait! Why don't you hang out with us for a while," Pearl asked.

"Sorry, but I can't. There's a lot of customers in here and I have a lot of orders to give out. Maybe I'll hang out with you later, after my shift is done, okay?" Melissa replied, looking at the line of people waiting to order their food.

"Oh, o-okay. I understand. Hey, maybe we can go to the movies tonight. I heard there's some pretty good flicks on tonight. It's gonna be so coral," Pearl said excitedly.

"That's sounds like a plan, but I have to get back. I'll see ya later Pearl," Melissa shouted, running back toward the kitchen.

Pearl just shook her head, giggling at Melissa.

"Hey, who was your friend, Pearl? She's so coral," a teenage girl asked.

"Oh, her name is Melissa Jackson. She's so coral. She helped me one time pick out an outfit for the sady's Hawkins's dance. As she said, "It was totally Texan." That's where she's from," Pearl answered.

"Didn't she used to date Squidward," a teenage boy questioned.

"Well, yeah, she did date him but their just good friends, now," Pearl replied.

"Huh! Why did he let her go? She's hot!" the teenage boy said.

"Yeah! She totally coral and Squidward needs a girlfriend. He's in hiatus," the teenage girl responded.

"Well, I don't know. They don't see anything other than friendship. They just can't go back to being.....together! What if Squidward or Melissa breaks each other hearts. That would be so uncoral," Pearl said.

"I'm not saying that they need to fall in love with each other. I'm just saying that they should go out and have a good time on a date," the teenage girl said, rolling her eyes.

"Hey, I have an idea. Just follow my lead," the teenage boy replied, smirking.

Squidward was finishing taking an order from the last customer, the line finally subsided. He gave the order to Spongebob, who quickly started to grill the Krabby Patties. Melissa had just delivered a tray full of food to a family of four. She walked back to the kitchen smiling at Squidward. Squidward smiled back at Melissa, then tended back to cash counter, seeing if anymore customer were coming to place an order.

"Hey, Squidward!" the teenage boy shouted, gaining Squidward's attention, "Come over here, please. We need some napkins." Squidward stepped out of the cash register and went to the counter on his right and grabbed a couple of napkins. He went up to the group of teens and passed the napkins to the teenage boy.

"Here's your napkins, sir," Squidward said flatly.

"Hey, Squidward. Have you noticed how hot Melissa is today," the teenage questioned, pointing to Melissa, who was moping the floor.

"What are you getting at? She always looked good but today she's been working a sweat. There's been a lot of customer coming to this restaurant," Squidward spurned at the teenage boy.

"Hey, Squidward. I was just commenting on how hot she looked. You two had a thang going on, huh?" the teenage boy said smirking.

Squidward glared at the teenage boy, irritated at him for poking into his personal life. "Yes, we did date before...and....it's none of your buisness," Squidward angrily said.

"None of our business? Most of the town knows that you once dated Melissa," the teenage boy pointed out. The rest of the group, including Pearl nodded their heads, confirming his reply.

"Is that true Pearl?" Squidward meekly asked. "Oh, yeah! Rumors floated around for weeks about the two of you," Pearl responded. "This town needs to get a new hobby," Squidward whispered to himself. "Ya know, Squidward. You should ask her out on a date. I bet she'll say yes," the teenage boy said. Squidward seethed at the teenage boy, glaring at him darkly. "Me and Melissa are just friends. There's nothing between us....only friendship," Squidward firmly replied, rubbing his head with his hand. He slowly walked back into his cash counter and step inside the small boat. Waiting for on. You just can't, like, walk away from her. You should just at least take her out on a date. Just once and that's it. It could be just a friendly date," the teenage boy shouted out to Squidward.

"Yeah! It would be so coral. You've been in hiatus for too long. This will be good for you," the teenage girl sided with the teenage boy.

"If I said it once I'll say it again! I do NOT have feelings for Melissa. Me and her are just good friends. THAT'S IT!!!!!" Squidward shouted, losing his temper. Melissa came out of the kitchen with Spongebob behind her, both hearing the commotion.

"What's going on?" Melissa asked.

"You're just in time, Melissa," the teenage boy replied, running up to her, "Squidward would like to ask you something."

"Really Squidward!?! What did you have in mind?" Melissa asked, looking at Squidward. Squidward just slapped his head with his hand, exasperating at the embarrassment that he felt.

"It's nothing, Melissa. Nothing at all," Squidward replied, sending an icy glare at the teenage boy. "Oh, come now. I know that you wanted to ask her out," the teenage girl gestured, standing next to Melissa.

"I do not," Squidward shouted angrily.

"You know you do. The whole restaurant know about it, don't you everyone," the teenage boy said, looking at all the customers, who gave cheers and whistles to Squidward.

"No, I don't," Squidward seethed, gritting his teeth in anger.

"Come on, everyone. He's a little shy. Let's encourage him," the teenage boy shouted out to the crowd of customers. Suddenly, everyone started to chant out, "DATE!" to Squidward. Squidward was sweating profusely, wanting this nightmare to end. He covered his ears to drown out the customers chanting, but to no avail, for they chanted even louder to Squidward.

Spongebob looked at all the crowd, who was still chanting at Squidward, pressuring him. Spongebob walked up to him and pulled him down, whispering in his ear.

"Don't give in to them. You don't have to do this, Squidward. Me and Melissa know that you're only friends, good friends. Don't listen to them for they don't know anything about you or Melissa," Spongebob softly said. Squidward nodded but the chanting grew even more louder and more rapidly, as the crowd was now stomping their feets, trying to pressurize Squidward in asking Melissa out on a date. Melissa looked at the crowd, feeling sorry for Squidward and what he is going through. "Poor Squidward. The crowd are just taunting him. They shouldn't pressure Squidward like this. He and I are just good friends and nothing more. I feel bad for what's he going through. I would feel the same way he is feeling right now, if I was the one they were taunting at," Melissa thought, looking at Squidward sorrowfully.

"Oh, why are they torturing me? Make it stop! Can't they see that me and Melissa are just friends? This is so embarrassing! When will this end?" Squidward thought, cringing at the chanting.

The teenage boy and girl walked up by Squidward side, standing next to him, while the crowd continued to chant.

"What are you waiting for? Ask her out. She won't bite. Look, she waiting for you right there," the teenage boy said, gesturing towards Melissa.

"Come on. Ask her out. You'll enjoy it and so will she. It'll be totally coral, just you and her.....together," the teenage girl said, trying to convince Squidward.

Squidward was pissed off at both the teenage boy and girl. "Will you two leave me alone and get out of my sight?" Squidward shouted angrily at the both of them.

"Not until you ask her out," the teenage said, smirking at Squidward.

Squidward covered his ears, a headache forming of all the chanting and noise that the crowd was making. "I can't take this anymore. I don't want to give in, but I have no choice," Squidward thought, rubbing his head. The chanting grew even louder as everyone, with the exception of Spongebob and Melissa, continued to shout at Squidward, irking him to no end. Squidward couldn't take the pressure any longer and decided to end the torturous chanting.

"ALRIGHT!!!!!!" Squidward screamed, stopping the crowd from chanting. All eyes were fixed upon him, as he exhaled and relunctingly walked up towards Melissa. He looked at Melissa, briefly smiling at her, rubbing his head.

"Um.....Melissa. I-I wanted to ask you," Squidward started to say nervously.

"Yes, Squidward," Melissa responded, knowing the stress and pressure that Squidward was under.

"I-I wanted to know, I-If you would.....like.....to.......go out with me, tonight," Squidward asked, nervously looking at Melissa, ready to hear her rejection.

"I would love to, Squidward. But, only as friends, okay?" Melissa replied softly, patting his back gently.

"Give her some flowers," a man shouted from the crowd.

Squidward just scowled at the crowd. He turned his attention back to Melissa. "So, what time do you want me to pick you up?" Squidward softly asked, rubbing his back nervously.

"Eight o' clock is good," the teenage girl suggested. Squidward sharply turned and send an icy glare at the girl. He turned around back to Melissa.

"So, is eight o' clock fine with you, Melissa," Squidward asked. "Sure, Squidward. That's perfect," Melissa answered back, smiling at Squidward. Squidward sighed, the stress finally leaving him.

"Give her some candies," another voice from the crowd shouted. "Don't forget to give her a coat," another voice from the crowd shouted. Squidward had enough.

"Look, I'm already asked her out. Are all of you happy now?" Squidward shouted angrily at the crowd. The crowd cheered and applauded at Squidward, then continued to go back to their activities. The teenage boy and girl went back to the table, looking back at Squidward.

"You have a good time tonight, Squidward," the teenage boy said, winking at him.

"Yeah! It'll be so coral," the teenage girl responded, giggling.

Squidward walked towards the kitchen, wanting to get an aspirin for his tremendous headache. Melissa and Spongebob walked with him, with Melissa gently grabbing his shoulder.

"Are you alright, Squidward," Melissa asked concerned.

"I'm fine, Melissa. Don't worry. I just have a lot of stress. I'll see you tonight, okay?" Squidward replied softly. "What are we going to do?" Melissa asked. "I'll surprise you. Excuse me while I go and get some aspirin," Squidward said, smiling at Melissa. Melissa smiled back at Squidward and watched him as he left through the kitchen doors to get some aspirin.
