I just want to say this right now, this story is based off of a video by EmperorLemon. I do not own the video, nor do I own Spongebob Squarepants or Futurama. As for this chapter, it's basically just a prologue set before the video. This is just to set up the story. Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy the chapter and the story that lies ahead.
It was another good morning on Conch Street. At least it had been before Spongebob's alarm clock started blaring and his laughter began to grate on Squidward. Squidward did his usual morning routine, brush his teeth, eat breakfast, and suffer another day working at the Krusty Krab.
"Oh Squidward!" Spongebob called from outside.
Squidward put on his KK hat on and began to head to work. All the while Spongebob was telling him random nonsense as usual.
The two arrived at work, Spongebob immediately took his position behind the grill. Squidward's day at work was the same as it usually was, dealing with ungrateful customers, having Krabs berate him just for doing his job, and having Spongebob annoy him.
Then suddenly... something snapped. Squidward suddenly made his way towards Mr. Krabs' office, he looked angry.
"What is it Squidward?" Mr. Krabs asked.
"I've had enough! Day in and day out working with an irritating sponge, dealing with ungrateful customers, and getting barely any pay out of it!" Squidward shouted, Mr. Krabs looked unfazed, from outside the room, the customers all heard Squidward shouting and went over to better hear the commotion. Even Spongebob began to look nervous about the situation.
"You're not getting a raise Squidward." Mr. Krabs said flatly, Squidward looked like he was about to have an aneurysm.
"I QUIT!" Squidward yelled, everyone in the building heard this, the customers looked a but surprised at this. Spongebob however looked heartbroken, his friend (at least he saw Squidward as a friend) just quit his job! Squidward stormed out of the Krusty Krab and went back home, Spongebob followed him out of the restaurant to try and stop him.
"Squidward wait! Please don't quit!"
Squidward turned to face him, "Don't try and stop my Spongebob, I'm not working there again!"
Before Spongebob could say anything else, Squidward was long gone, his hat was laying on the ground by his feet. Mr. Krabs approached Spongebob.
"He'll be back me boy, get back to work we've got orders waiting." The two of them went back to the Krusty Krab and continued working.
Squidward spent the rest of his day relaxing at home, playing his clarinet, and practicing his painting and dance. Meanwhile Spongebob couldn't help but think about Squidward, Mr. Krabs took over at the register.
Over the next few days, Squidward enjoyed his time away from Spongebob while the latter was working. But Squidward still needed to earn money somehow, he looked at the daily newspaper and saw an ad.
'Pizza Castle: Help Wanted'
Squidward searched the rest of the newspaper for other job advertisements, but sadly there were none. Squidward sighed in defeat and headed over to Pizza Castle.
Squidward entered the fast food joint and showed the manager the ad. The manager of the restaurant was a thin clownfish, according to his name tag, his name was Chris.
"Oh, you're here for the job? Great! You can start now!" The manager said, he tossed Squidward an apron and went with him to the kitchen. The two approached a teenage flounder who wore a Pizza Castle apron, he wore a name tag as well, his name was Mario.
"Hey Mario, show this kid the ropes!" Chris said, leaving the two.
"Uh... alright dude, here's what you need to do." Mario said, the two began to make pizzas. Squidward didn't really like this new job, but anything would be better than working at the Krusty Krab...
And so ends the prologue! I know this chapter seems a bit short, but it'll get better soon, and the 'Future' part of the title will also make sense soon. Remember this is just the prologue. Hope you enjoyed!
