My second Spongebob Fan fiction story. I do not think it is as good as my first, but I'll see what you think. Once again it is in script format: I think it works best like this as Spongebob is a cartoon.

A gripping novel in 500 words: Part 1

-Spongebob is out grocery shopping, when he sees an advert on the window.-

Spongebob: 'Story writing competition. Write a short story, no more that 500 words (excluding the title).' Hmmm.. 'Must be posted by the end of June to the following address... Big cash prize!' Sounds fun!

Patrick: Hi Spongebob!

Spongebob: Hi Patrick! I'm going to enter a competition to write a story.

Patrick: Good luck Spongebob! I like stories! Read me your when you're done! I gotta go Spongebob: I got some important business to take care of down at my house. See ya!

Spongebob: Bye Patrick!

Squidward: Spongebob?

Spongebob: Hi Squidward! Have you seen this? You could write a story! You're all arty... and stuff.

Sqidward: Well... I don't like stories. And since when could a sponge write a story?

Spongebob: Since we grew arms. Speaking of arms, whats that in your arm-err-hand-err-tentacle?

Squidward: Nothing. Goodbye.

Spongebob: O.K. Bye Squidward!

-Back at the pineapple-

Spongebob: Hmm... story. Story story story...

Gary: Meow.

Spongebob: I know I haven't written a story before, Gary, so this is the best time to start!

Gary: Meow.

Spongebob: No I don't have an idea.

Gary: Meow.

Spongebob: A biography? The entire story of my life in no more than 500 words?

Gary: Meow.

Spongebob: Of course I live a fulfilling and interesting life, Gary.

-The next day, after a sleepless night thinking about stories-

Spongebob: -yawn-

Gary: -yawn-

Spongebob: Ugh... I am not ready.

-The Krusty Krab-

Mr. Krabs: Spongebob? You look tired. Oh well, nothin' a li'l work won't fix!

Spongebob: I've got a story to write Mr. Krabs.

Mr. Krabs: Good, good. You do what you gotta do. Here's your hat.

Spongebob: Mr. Krabs, I don't think you're -

Mr. Krabs: Of course I am, me boy. Now, get to work! -Leaves-

Spongebob: -listening.

-Later that day-

Squidward: Spongebob! There are people waiting! How long can it possibly take to write a story? And you should be doing you're job. I have to, so it's only fair that you have to endure yours, too. In fact, why don't you handle the customers today? See HOW YOU LIKE IT!

Spongebob: I will in a minute, Squidward! Just got one more... couple of... paragraphs... to go...

Squidward: -Snatches the peices of paper from Spongebob- I'm not going to work in these conditions. I'm handing these in to Mr. Krabs, no matter how annoying he is.

Spongebob: NO Squidward, no! I spent ages on those, I'll be good, I promise! Look, I'm putting my pen away, see? I won't write anymore Squidward. PLEASE!!

Squidward: Spongebob, look: I'll give you a hint: you are NOT going to win this competition. I... know the guy and he doesn't like you. And the prize... is not very good anyway.

Spongebob: But... who could not like me? I didn't do anything!

Squidward: Trust me, Spongebob. You're very annoying!

Spongebob: Me? Annoying? -cries- I TRY Squidward, I TRY! PLEASE Squidward! I'll be good!

Squidward: -sigh- Fine. -Gives back papers- Just... get back to work.

Spongebob: O.K. Squidward!
