Squidward: (runs up to Bubble Buddy) Let's get this overwith so I can go home and play my clarinet!

SpongeBob: Noo...

[Squidward charges his needle towards Bubble Buddy in a slow dramatic manner, while SpongeBob begs them to stop. Unfortunately, for the latter, Squidward pops Bubble Buddy, and he maniacally laughs, while the other Bikini Bottomites cheer for him. Meanwhile, SpongeBob becomes depressed over the loss of his new friend, walks over to some sand, and cries. The Bikini Bottomites/Mr. Krabs/Pearl stop cheering for Squidward, notice this, and walk over to him)

Mr. Krabs: SpongeBob?

SpongeBob (depressingly) Just go away. You don't know what it's like to lose a friend.

Mr. Krabs: Aww, SpongeBob, I've known what it's like to lose a friend, and so does everyone else.

SpongeBob: (sniffs) That's not true at all! (Turns back around, and cries some more, while everyone looks at each other with sad looks on their faces)

Nat: (sadly) What have we done?

Shubie: Poor thing. (Both Nat and Shubie hug each other while crying, and the other Bikini Bottomites/Mr. Krabs/Pearl start hanging their heads in shame with tears in their eyes for a few seconds, then they angrily glare at Squidward, who is still laughing for the sponge's depression)

Squidward: (stops laughing, and starts becoming scared/confused when he sees the others angrily walking towards him) What?

(Tom starts making a knuckle sandwich as Mr. Krabs angrily walks towards him)

Mr. Krabs: You've got a lot to learn, Mr. Squidward.

Squidward: (gulps) Whaddya mean by that?

(Scene cuts to SpongeBob (who is still crying as the Bikini Bottomites beat up Squidward offscreen for about 7 seconds. SpongeBob then stops crying, turns around, and is confused by this. Then Squidward (who is now covered in bandages walks up to SpongeBob)

Squidward: Uh, SpongeBob?

SpongeBob: (sniffs) Yes, Squidward?

Squidward: The others wanted to tell me that we're sorry that we got you all sad like that, and that we should never see that- (Gets interrupted by Mr. Krabs, who angrily clears his throat at him) I mean, bring that Bubble Buddy of yours back again.

SpongeBob: (stops being depressed) Y-you really mean it?

(Squidward nods his head yes, and SpongeBob then hugs Squidward, now with tears of joy in his eyes)

Squidward: Could you please get off of me?

SpongeBob: Sure thing. (stops hugging Squidward and gets out a bottle of Bubble Soap, dips his wand in it, and blows Bubble Buddy again, who suddenly comes to life)

Bubble Buddy: Woah! (Everyone except SpongeBob gasps happily at this) Don't I get a say in this? (Walks towards SpongeBob) I'll see you later, SpongeBob. Things are getting a little weird around here.

SpongeBob: So long.

(Bubble Buddy then gets out a hat and suitcase as a bubble taxi appears. He gets in, and the taxi floats away as it drives off)

Bubble Buddy: (chuckles) Happy Leif Erickson Day!

(everybody leaves and then chat with each other about Bubble Buddy's departure)

SpongeBob: (turns to Squidward) Y' know Squidward, they just blow up so fast. (Blows his nose and runs off. As he does, a bunch of bubbles appear and pop near Squidward, except for one)

Squidward: Uh... Hi?

(The last bubble then pops in front of Squidward, who gives out a confusing stare towards the camera)
