SpongeBob's foghorn alarm blasted. SpongeBob quickly jumped out of bed and got dressed in his white shirt, brown pants, and ditzy little red tie. The Sponge then dashed out of his pineapple house. SpongeBob, like all other days, was eager to get to work at The Krusty Krab, Bikini Bottom's iconic fast-food place. He burst through the doors of the Krusty Krab, clocked in and preceded to the kitchen, but he hadn't forgotten to greet good ol' Squidward, The Krusty Krab's cashier and SpongeBob's next door neighbor.
"Hello Squiddy!" SpongeBob yelled across the room.
"Shut up!" Squidward said back.
Squidward had never liked SpongeBob, and working for his cheap boss Mr. Krabs. SpongeBob went to the kitchen, turned the grill on, went over to the fridge and got a batch of frozen Krabby Patties, The Krusty Krab's famous dish. SpongeBob plopped each patty, one by one, onto the grill. On the other side of the restaurant a customer walked in. Squidward looked up from his magazine.
"SpongeBob," Squidward said to SpongeBob, "I need one Krabby Patty!"
"Aye aye Squiddy!" SpongeBob laughed as he got the patty ready.
The customer got annoyed.
"Actually," The customer told Squidward, "I just wanted kelp fries!"
"Oh well." Squidward told the fish.
The customer stormed out of the restaurant. Mr. Krabs stormed out of his office, he could sense when a customer didn't spend any money. He waddled up to Squidward, furiously.
"What in Neptune was that?" Mr. Krabs asked Squidward.
"I don't know," Squidward replied focusing on his magazine, "And I don't care."
Mr. Krabs demanded answers. He swatted the magazine out of Squidward's hand and repeated his question.
"Why did that customer leave without giving me money?" Mr. Krabs asked again.
Squidward lit up. Maybe he could finally get that pain in the butt SpongeBob, fired…
"SpongeBob told the customer to get out of here," Squidward lied.
Mr. Krabs turned a darker shade of red.
"SpongeBob," Mr. Krabs yelled, "Get over here!"
SpongeBob skipped through the door and up to his boss.
"What is it Mr. Krabs?" SpongeBob asked
Mr. Krabs grabbed SpongeBob by his collar.
"A certain Squid told me that you were being rude to the customers," Mr. Krabs said to the sponge, "Is that true?"
SpongeBob was confused. He was just about to speak when Mr. Krabs interrupted him.
"SpongeBob, you're fired!" Mr. Krabs announced.
Squidward quietly celebrated in his seat. SpongeBob stood there in shock. How could this happen? SpongeBob asked to himself. SpongeBob felt a need for revenge. And he knew just what to do, even if it defies all logic…
