Episode1 Let's Try Something New

It was a beautiful sunny day in Jellyfish Fields, where SpongeBob Squarepants and his best friend

Patrick Star were trying to enjoy the day doing going Jelly fishing. I say trying because today just was one of those days where things just weren't seeming like the old times. No, these weren't feeling like the days where the two could waste entire days just cruising Jellyfish fields almost aimlessly. It just felt like the day was just being wasted entirely and not in a good way. SpongeBob wonders if Patrick feels the same way, so he decides to ask his buddy.

"Patrick, you having fun today?" He asked.

"I don't know. I enjoy doing pretty much nothing, but at the same time I would like to experience a new sort of euphoria."

SpongeBob was surprised Patrick was as efficient at using that word as he just demonstrated.

"I feel the same way. Let's just stop what we're doing and go give a new activity a shot."

The friends then threw up their jelly fishing nets that always seemed to disappear anyhow and prepared for a new adventure.

The two decided before going to a new adventure that they would get some snacks as one can't start a brand new adventure without some extra fuel. Entering the Bargain-Mart, the store was mostly empty, sans the store clerk and the two pals who were entering. The clerk looked like a high school aged student, but had a look on his face that practically yelled "I don't want to be here." SpongeBob brought in with him $7, Patrick bringing $3. SpongeBob planned on getting a chocolate bar and a soda, which together were about $6. Patrick just got a new belly button cleaner as it was overflowing with dandruff again. SpongeBob couldn't stand staring at that thing half the time. As they collected their items, they went up to the store clerk to pay. SpongeBob went up first.

"That'll be $6 please." The clerk asked.

Just then SpongeBob saw an offer on the chocolate bar in front of the counter: it said "2 bars for $5."

This would fit his budget as long as the sign wasn't a lie he believed, so he added it on.

"That'll be $8 please." The clerk said.

"But that's not what the sign says. It says 2 bars for $5. I want that deal." SpongeBob demanded.

The store clerk looked considerably annoyed at this point.

"Look these two bars are two completely different brands and if you had read that ad there closely, you would have seen where the deal only applies to that brand. So no."

SpongeBob wanted to stand his ground at this point, so he decided to keep the fight on.

"Well you should make that more obvious and since it was difficult to see I want the deal to apply in this case."

The clerk looked as if he was about to implode.

"There you go, now you're banned. Get out of the counter."

So in the end SpongeBob got nothing but a fistful of being pissed off. Not a great start to the new adventure. Patrick went up next.

"Hello, I'd like this belly button clean thing."

"Alright, $3.01 please." The clerk said.

Patrick realized he had no pennies in his pockets or even the dandruff land in his belly.

"I have $3, can we let the penny slide? I mean it's just a penny." Patrick asked.

The store clerk was unamused. "No. $3.01 or no belly button cleaner."

"Are you related to that sweaty old guy at the Krusty Krab? You two would be good friends." Patrick said, making himself laugh.

"Tubby, I want that penny or you get your pink, tubby ass out of here."

Patrick's face suddenly grew serious.

"Did you just call me Tubby?" The clerk nodded back.

Patrick's eyes soon grew blood red in anger. Nobody called him Tubby and got away with it. He then stood on top of the counter and hit the clerk in the back of the head, knocking him out instantly. SpongeBob was simply a stunned bystander to all this. Patrick then signaled to SpongeBob to get his items.

"We're just going to take these things without paying?" SpongeBob asked in a sort of disbelief. Patrick didn't even offer a response as he walked out the door, setting off the alarm. SpongeBob hurried out too, not wanting to be caught somehow someway.

That night SpongeBob was unable to control himself. He had to talk to Patrick about what they would do. As he left his quiet Pineapple house, it was already close to 10 PM. He knocked on Patrick's rock wondering how he was taking the incident from earlier.

"Hey buddy, how are you?" Patrick asked.

It was apparent in SpongeBob's appearance he was not taking it well. His eyes were red and sagging deeply, he had scratches on his arms from various itches and had sweated what could've been rivers through his clothes. He had the look of a meth addict almost.

"What's wrong SpongeBob?" Patrick asked.

"…I was…thinking about the thing from…earlier today." SpongeBob began. After a more seconds he said "… I want to do it again."

Patrick was surprised. "I just did because he called me Tubby, I don't want to hurt people any more."

This made Patrick begin to sob.

"No, not hurt people… Steal from people." Spongebob began. "I haven't such an adrenaline rush as I had earlier in years, maybe even decades. Give it some thought Pat, ok? Ok?"

Patrick nodded in approval. Patrick had a long night that night before giving SpongeBob his answer on a note he attached to the door in the morning.

"Ok, meet me at the shallow cave in Jellyfish Fields. We need a meeting."

And so began the start of the greatest crime duo in Bikini Bottom history.
