The Search for the Magic Seaweed
Chapter 1: Bad Luck Part 1

Disclaimer: I don't own SpongeBob Squarepants or the tv show but, it would be really cool! I do however, own a pet rock and you can't do nada about it!

Hey, LaLa here. This is my first fanfic, so I hope you like it! Please give reviews (nothing mean) :)

HONK! HOOOOONNNKKKKK!

SpongeBob awoke on a beautiful morning and yawned. "G' mornin' Gary!"

"Meow!"

"Gotta get ready for work! I'm gonna be late!" SpongeBob looked at his alarm clock nervously and raced down the stairs after picking out his clothes (which are the same EVERY day). He filled up a cup of coffee, fed Gary and exited the pineapple in which he lived in. He hopped onto his bike (unicycle) and hurdled down past Patrick's house.

Patrick emerged from his...er...rock and spotted SpongeBob. "Hey there SpongeBob!"

SpongeBob stopped and looked behind him, surprised to see Patrick up so early. "Hey Pat! Sorry I can't talk to ya right now, but I'm kinda runnin late!"

"Oh." Patrick looked confused at SpongeBob. "But, SpongeBob... you're going the wrong way."

"Eh...oh! I guess all the rushing has gotten to my head." SpongeBob looks at Patrick hesitantly and gives a small chuckle. He then turns around and heads toward the Krusty Krab. "Bye Pat!"

When SpongeBob arrived at the Krusty Krab he threw down his bike and pushed open the doors.

Krabs was standing in the middle of the room, tapping his foot, with an angry look on his face. "Where have ye been boy?!? No, never mind that! Time is money! Stop standin around and get to the kitchen! You're late!"

SpongeBob raced into the bathroom, washed his hands, and headed to the kitchen. "Hey Squidward!"

"Hi SpongeBob. Another day with you... technically I'm not spending this day WITH you, but... well... nevermind."

The restaurant opens and some customers come in to order. One fish walks up to the register. "Hi, I would like a Krabby Patty please. But, um, do you think you could just cook me the burger part? I... sorta don't like bread."

"One Krabby Patty with no bread or toppings," Squidward called over to SpongeBob in his boring voice.

The fish said, "But, I want the toppings just no bread."

Squidward looked at the fish. "That's too bad."

The fish glared at Squidward and took a seat at a table.

Meanwhile, in the kitchen SpongeBob smacked a patty onto the fryer and started grilling it. "One Krabby Patty with just the patty coming uuuuuuuuuuppp!" SpongeBob flipped the patty into the air and it landed in the middle of the fryer. "Bulls-eye!" After the side was cooked he flipped it into the air again but he accidentally flung it behind him. The patty bounced off the trampoline on the wall behind him (don't ask why it's there) and the patty smacked Squidward in the back of the head!

"Ow." Squidward fell forward to the ground, smacking his head on the register, making money fly everywhere!

Mr. Krabs' office.

In Mr. Krabs' office an alarm goes off and the room is flashing on and off red.

"Oh no! Someone is meddling with my money!" Krabs raced out of the room and gasped. "My money, it's everywhere!!!" Krabs pounded a red button on the wall and a vacuum opened from the ceiling. It then sucked up all the money floating around and a few customers and some keys.

Krabs noticed this and muttered to himself, "I'll need to get those customers out of there..." Remembering the disaster he turned to Squidward. "Squidward! What in money's name did you do?!?"

"Ow." Squidward got up from the floor. He had a huge red bump on his head from hitting the cash register. "Don't look at me ask SpongeBob."

"SPONGEBOB!!!!!" Mr. Krabs was furious!

"I'm really sorry. I was flipping a patty and then it hit Squidward in the head which caused him to fall and hit the register which caused the money to fly everywhere which caused the people to start grabbing the money which caused you to come out and go nuts which caused me to explain you what happened which caused me to say I'm sorry." SpongeBob took in a big breath after saying all that. He looked at Krabs and put his pretty eyes on.

Mr. Krabs narrowed his eyes at SpongeBob. "Whatever... this is coming out of your paycheck." Mr. Krabs walked into his office and slammed the door shut. He then turned off the alarm and started counting the money, which was coming out of SpongeBob's paycheck.

Squidward glared at SpongeBob and rubbed his head. "Go home SpongeBob. You've caused too much trouble today... you've caused me enough trouble for just living next to me."

SpongeBob walked out of the Krusty Krab and rode on his bike home.
