Beginning Author's Note: Hi! Welcome to my Spongebob/Squidward "100-Themed One-shot Collection". I'm sure you'd like to know what made me think of writing this and how. So, before we begin, I will tell you. Over the weekend, like everyone else, I've been watching television. And on my TV screen all weekend was Nickelodeon's long-running, ever-popular, ever-hilarious hit show SpongeBob SquarePants. Now, see, normally I do not watch this show as often as I do the other hit shows on Nick, but I do whenever I need a laugh, or for when I'm bored and can't think of anything else to do. So, anyway, after watching SpongeBob for an hour, I began to contemplate. "What if, all along, Squidward found SpongeBob to be annoying and hated him simply because he was a cheerful fellow, easy to like, and optimistic? What if Squidward had all along had feelings for SpongeBob?" So, that, ladies and gentleman, is what this came about. I do hope that you enjoy this collection, as I'm going to have fun writing them. I already had ths one, and the next few, in my mind for quite some time and felt the need to share them with you. So now, here's to you, my fellow SpongeBob SquarePants fans. Enjoy!
RATING: K - K+ (This will be the rating for all of the one-shots. I don't feel comfortable writing T or M fics just yet. And besides, this is fluff, so fluffy shows and movies are usually rated (in the U.S.) TV-Y7, G, or PG to PG-13. Nothing more over the PG-13 mark. That's it. Okay? Okay. Let's get started!
GENRE: Romance/Friendship/General
My Writing Key:
BOLD: Used for my notes, sometimes narration, and to emphasize a sond effect or movement (though, not all the time!).
REGULAR: Used for writing a good fic, of course!
Underlined: Yaaayyy for more emphasizing!! Whoo-hoo!! (LOL!)
Italicsized: Used for a characters thoughts and/or feelings.
Aaaaaaaand, here we go!!
01. Imagination
It's not that Squidward didn't have imagination or didn't want it, it's just that he simply never used it. He never had to. He didn't have to pretend that he hated his job as co-cashier down at the Krusty Krab. He didn't have to pretend that he was jealous of his long-time rival since high school Squilliam Fancyson. And he certainly didn't have to pretend to hate his annoying, overly-joyful neighbor SpongeBob SquarePants. Nope, no siree. Squidward Tentacles never had to imagine anything. Not at all.
End Author's Note: Wow. That came out shorter than I expected it to be. It was a little bit longer than this when I went through it in my head, thinking about the plot. Whoops! Oh, well. I kinda actually like it this way. Short, simple, and sweet!
More to come soon! Just please press that purplish-blue button there - yes, the one that says "Submit Review" and "Go" - and tell me what you thought about this one. Y'know, what you liked about it, what you didn't like, how I can improve my writing, etc. Just please do not come complaining to me about the pairing. I gave you all a warning.
Also, please do note that I do not own the wonderful Nickelodeon show "SpongeBob SquarePants." Seriously. Do I SEEM like I'm Stephen Hillenburg? Would he REALLY pair Sponge/Squid together? Didn't think so. Now that that's said and out of the way, please review! Thank you.
