Summary: Spongebob and his pals travel back in time to 1912 and set sail on the RMS Titanic, finding themselves in a whole new mess of adventures, and a bit of romance.
First Spongebob fic here! Hello everybody!
Just a few things you should know about this story:
1. Thoughts are in italics.
2. I will post chapter release dates on the bottom.
3. I used all caps on some letters to put emphasis on a word.
Also, I am fully aware of the fact that I started some sentences with "And", "But", etc.. Bad grammatical errors I know; I just wanted to shorten it up a bit. My apologies.
Heylinjack101 presents: Squidward's Cruise Of A Lifetime
Enjoy!
P.S. Don't forget to review!
Chapter 1: As Usual
To Squidward, each day seemed exactly as the next. And to him, why question why it was that way?
Every morning he underwent the same routine. He'd wake up, go to the bathroom, bathe, brush his teeth, dress, eat breakfast, and head out for work; simple as that. All this, plus enduring an unwanted and unanticipated visit from his gruesome neighbor, Spongebob Squarepants, was inevitable, and nothing ever seemed to change kinds of thoughts depressed Squidward.
Not even a beautiful, bright morning in the first week of April could brighten his spirits. "Ugh," sighed Squidward as he gazed at the new morning sun in bed. "Time to go to work...again."
After finding the most minute bit of strength within himself to face the day, he dragged himself out of bed and got ready for work, as usual.
For breakfast, he chose a glass of orange juice, a bowl of oatmeal and a smaller bowl of Kelpo, with skim milk, as usual.
And almost as if on cue, just before sitting down at his table Squidward heard two familiar giggling idiot friends out the window.
"As usual," he muttered. "It's them."
Like every other day he looked out his circular window to see Spongebob and his other annoying neighbor, Patrick Star, and what shenanigans they were up to. Today, the two best friends were eating what appeared to be some kind of hard, colorful candy.
"What are you two simpletons doing?" Squidward asked.
Spongebob, with his usual smiling face and naive disposition, was the first to see and greet him.
"Hey, Squidward! Patrick and I were enjoying some of his delicious rock candy. Do you want some?"
"And have my teeth rot and fall off? No, thank you," Squidward replied.
This time it was Patrick's turn to speak. "Wouldn't that hurt, Squidward?"
"Yes, Patrick."
Patrick began to pout. "But I keep all my favorite foods in here." He then proceededto pull out a piece of moldy candy cane from in between his molars.
"Eew!" Squidward exclaimed.
"Well Pat," Spongebob cut in, "I'd better get going. Got Krabby Patties to flip."
Patrick, after finishing his old candy cane in two bites, said goodbye to his best friend. "Catch you later, buddy."
"Fools," Squidward muttered as he closed his window and walked back to his table to finish eating.
Once he was ready he opened his front door and began his long walk to the Krusty Krab, a fast food eatery where he worked, as a poorly paid cashier.
Every day, another nickel, he thought, remembering one of Spongebob's favorite quotes. Spongebob was also his co-worker, to his sheer displeasure. The thought of working with his annoying neighbor was a constant reminder of how much he hated his job.
As he walked he looked out into the distance. He saw a lone jellyfish, flying solo.
At least he's free, Squid thought. Free to make his own choices. And live without a following a cycle. Not trapped.
Squidward looked farther, and saw the looming buildings of the city of Bikini Bottom just overthe horizon.
I won't stay in this prison called Bikini Bottom forever, he vowed. One of these days, I'm getting out of here for good. Something is going to have to change.
Lost in thought, he continued walking to work, passing Bikini Bottom, as usual.
Little did Squidward know that "something" was brewing Bikini Bottom. Something, that could potentially change lives forever. Something, that involved two packages being delivered by the local friendly neighborhood mailman.
Sorry this chapter's so short! I kind of rushed through it. Don't worry, the other chapters will be longer with fewer grammar errors. EDIT: The first two chapters are mostly introductory.
