Spongebob and the Case of the …
|BP Oil Leak|
It was a bright and beautiful Wednesday afternoon . April 28th to be exact . Spongebob took a day off of work to hang out with his best friend , Patrick Star , before he went for his annual fry-cook convention . The convention lasted for a week so Spongebob and Patrick were spending every moment they could together .
Today , Spongebob and Patrick decided to go jellyfishing , their favorite activity . Spongebob and Ol' Reliable were catching jellyfish with ease while Patrick was having a hard time with his regular jellyfishing net . Both soon realized that all the jellyfish disappeared .
" Pat , where did all the jellyfish go ? " Spongebob asked .
" I'm not sure, Spongebob, but I think it has something to do with that , "
Patrick was pointing at a dark mass floating towards them . It was something they had ever seen before . Spongebob was getting really worried and decided it was time to leave Jellyfish Fields . The large mass was moving quite quickly so Spongebob and Patrick ran as fast as they could .
" Come on, Patrick ! Run faster ! " Spongebob yelled .
" Spongebob ! I'm running as fast as I can ! "
" We have to get to my house before this THING catches up to us ! "
" Okay Sponge ! "
Spongebob and Patrick bolted for the house to escape the path of the mass . They made it just in time .
As soon as Spongebob closed the door , the mass covered the window with a slimy substance . Patrick turned the television on & turned to the news . The news broadcast went like this :
" This just in ! A dark mass has been moving through Bikini Bottom rapidly over the course of the last 30 minutes . Whole towns have been covered with the goop and some of our fellow residents are trapped outside ! It is believed that the residue is oil but we are not completely certain ! This is a big problem and the government is working hard to find a solution . One resident explains ' One minute I was cleaning my seahorse stable , then all of a sudden I was absolutely covered in this gunk ! I've never seen anything like it in all my years of living . I'm scared ! ' There you have it , folks ! A tragic story caused by this mysterious material . We will be covering this story all night . Stay safe and stay tuned . "
" Sponge … , " Patrick said with a quiver in his voice .
" Yes buddy ? " Spongebob asked .
" Are we gonna be okay ? "
" Of course we are ! We have to keep our minds off of it and stay in the house until this whole thing blows over ! "
Spongebob and Patrick soon began to do what ever it took to keep their mind off the situation . It was working until they got an unexpected knock on the door .
* knock knock *
Spongebob was wondering who was at the door considering the oil was still outside . So , he opened the door and standing there was a slime covered Squidward .
" Spongebob ! Please let me in ! "
" Uhh sure Squid . What were you doing outside ? "
" I was coming home from the Bargain Mart and I got locked outside . All of a sudden I was covered in this oily substance … "
" Well that wasn't a good idea . You should've had an umbrella ."
" Spongebob I didn't know I was going to get covered in oil ! How was I possibly supposed to predict that ?"
" Well … you should've looked at the weather before you left . "
" They don't tell you that kind of stuff on the weather ! Just tell me where the bathroom is ! Gosh ! You're so annoying !"
" Upstairs and to the right ! "
* 45 minutes later *
" All clean ! Time to go now !"
" No Squidward you can't go out there ! It's too dangerous you have to stay here until this whole thing is sorted out ! "
In the corner he saw Patrick picking his nose .
" I'll take my chances , " Squidward retorted .
Squidward walked out the door and came back almost instantly completely covered in oil from head to toe . He didn't even bother to look at the excited look on Spongebob's face. He just went upstairs and took another shower .
* 45 minutes later *
" Are you going to stay this time , Squidward ? "
" *sigh* I guess Spongebob ! Just don't bother me , okay ? "
" Sure thing , Squidy ! "
3 agony filled months later and the leak is still going on . Will the leak ever stop ? Will Squidward ever get to go home ? Will Patrick ever stop picking his nose ? Read on next time for more of Spongebob and the Case of the … BP Oil Leak !
