Pirates in Bikini Bottom

"Im ready! I'm ready!" Spongebob sang running to work.

Spongebob walked into the Krusty Krab.

"Hello Mr. Krabs." Spongebob said putting his hat on the rack. "I see we still don't have any customers."

"Say that again, boy, and you're fired."

"My lips are sealed."

"Anyways Spongebob, we haven't been having many customers lately."

"Aye aye sir!" Spongebob said saluting.

"Well I'm gonna have to make a few, er, changes to get some more money."

"And customers?"

"Yeah, yeah them to. Well, I'm gonna go fishing." Mr. Krabs said walking out.

"Bye Mr. Krabs!" Spongebob said waving. "Isn't Mr. Krabs the best, Squidward?"

"If making us work for 12 hours straight and only getting paid 10 dollars a day, than Mr. Krabs is the best." Squidward said sarcastically.

"Yeah."

"Well I'm going home."

"But what about the customers?"

"Have you not been paying attention the past few days? There haven't been customers. I'm going home."

Squidward walked out, leaving Spongebob alone.

"Well I'm alone. Still alone. Alone. Let's watch some T.V."

Spongebob turned on the T.V. and watched the news.

"This just in." the news reporter said.

Spongebob watched closely.

"Apparently pirates have robbed a merchant's ship in Goo Lagoon. There was only one survivor, and he's with us now. Mr. Marlin, did you get any glimpse of the pirates?"

"I did see a fin, but we're fish everyone has fins."

"The police have informed me that if you catch these pirates you will get a huge reward. Well there you have it. Now I think Karen has a story on the food poisoning in local candy bars."

Spongebob turned off the T.V.

"I'm gonna go get Patrick, Squidward, and Sandy to see if they want to be part of my crew!"

Spongebob ran to his neighborhood to get Patrick and Squidward.

"Patrick! Patrick!" Spongebob said banging on his rock.

"Yeah Spongebob?"

"I was watching the news and it said that there were pirates in Goo Lagoon and that if you catch them you get a huge reward and will you be part of my crew?"

"Awesome we're gonna be pirate hunters!"

"Let's go get Squidward."

Spongebob and Patrick walked over to Squidward's house.

"Oh Squidward!" Spongebob said in a high voice.

"What do you morons want?"

"We want to know if you will join my crew to capture the pirates in Goo Lagoon."

"No."

"But..."

"Spongebob I said no."

"But..."

"Spongebob go home."

"But the news guy said that if someone catches the pirates we'll get half their plunder."

"Call me lieutenant!" Squidward said, jumping out with a feathery hat.

"Hey where'd you get that hat?"

"And what's a lieutenant?" Patrick asked.

"I got this hat from the hat store downtown."

"We'll go get a hat after we get Sandy."

Spongebob, Patrick, and Squidward walked toward the tree dome. Sandy was outside watering her garden.

"Howdy Spongebob, Patrick, and Squidward."

"Hi Sandy. Do you want to join our crew to catch pirates and get half their plunder if we do?"

"Sure. I'll be the skipper."

"What's a skipper?" Patrick asked.

"A skipper is the one who steers the boat or ship."

"Oh."

"Well let's go downtown to get outfits." Spongebob said.

"What's wrong with what we're wearing?" Sandy asked. She looked over at Patrick, Spongebob, and Squidward. "Oh..."

"Hey! What's that supposed to mean?" Squidward asked.

"Um, nothing."

They all walked toward town to get their outfits. Little did they know a huge adventure was in store for them.
