How Maximum Ride Should Have Ended

Disclaimer: I don't own anything in this fanfic

It was a dark stormy night. The ocean was plagued by storms, and the undersea life seemed to take notice.

Patrick Star was on his way to check up on his old friend SpongeBob for a favor. Letting himself into the pineapple that was his friend's house, he called out:

"SpongeBob? Can I borrow some bath beads!" He hadn't seen his poor friend since this morning, not since the "incident".

Strangely, there was no response. Continuing across the house, he could hear loud, ominous music that sounded like something out of a cheesy horror movie.

The starfish was worried now. Eventually, Patrick made his way upstairs into the library. There, seated at the grand piano, basked in the shadows and donning a long, black cloak, was SpongeBob SquarePants himself.

"SpongeBob?" Patrick walked up to his friend, and the lights turned back on instantly. His friend turned around, revealing a horrifying truth;

He was covered in green scales and fur. A pair of talons appeared where his hands were supposed to be, and his face was now comparable with that of a monster, complete with large, sharp teeth and yellow-greenish eyes.

SpongeBob turned away. "Go. Run away like all the others!" Breaking down into a sob, "No would want a friend as mutated as I am!" For dramatic effect, he slammed down on the keys one last time.

But Patrick was still optimistic. "Sure they would! It makes them feel better about the way they were born!"

Grabbing his friend, he said, "Maybe a story will cheer you up!"

Pulling SpongeBob out of his cloak, he sat him down on his chair.

"It's called The Annoying Bird-Girl!"

SpongeBob's eyes widened in excitement.

"Once, there was an annoying bird girl! She was so annoying that everyone died! The End!" Patrick smiled widely, thinking he had done his job as a loyal friend.

SpongeBob's happiness was immediately washed away, and his face sank. "That didn't help at all!"

Meanwhile, Maximum Ride was floating over the ruins of her world, now submerged in water, furious beyond belief.

"YOU'RE TELLING ME?!"

Dylan silently whispered to Fang. "Who is she-"

"One more word and you're dead."

Gulping, Dylan flew away in silence, never to be heard from again.

And everybody regretted all of their choices. Except for Fang.

The End

"How long? How long have I been hated, Patrick?" Spongebob exclaimed, crying his eyes out.

"As long as I can remember! You poor, hated thing, you..." Patrick agreed, shaking his head somberly.
