Hey! I just found out that this was story number 600 in the Spongebob section! Woot! 600th Spongebob story! And I see I've already got some reviews for it... and it's only on chapter 1! (Well, technically it's on chapter 2 now, but you get it.) I'm so excited that I'm going to work on this story. Whee! But unfortunately for those of you who were waiting to see Davy Jones and his crew, you'll have to wait longer because I'm puting him somewhere in chapter 3 due to the fact that I have no idea how I would be able to fit him into this chapter. Sorry. Now, on with the story!

Sandy was sitting on the picnic bench in her treedome working on a metallic-looking acorn machine. The machine she was working on was her newest invention: The Automatic Nut Identifier. It was supposed to work so that you place a nut in the funnel-like device on the top of it, the machine would scan the genetic code of the nut, then give off a full description of what kind of nut it was, where it grows and its average size on the computerized screen on the back of it. To see if her newest device worked, she decided to do a test by puting a walnut down the funnel on top of the device. "I hope this works," she said to herself as she released the walnut and let itt fall into the machine. The machine didn't respond for a few minutes, then it started to make whirring noises. At first, Sandy smiled, thinking that it was working, but then it started vibrating violently.

"Huh? It's not supposed to be doing that!" She tried switching it off, but the small flip switch on the side of it broke off. "Uh oh. That ain't good!" The machine starting jumping and spewing out smoke from the funnel. Sandy didn't like the looks of how her newest machine was reacting and she had to do something quick before anything else happened, so she quickly took out her green karate gloves, put them on and karate-chopped the machine into scrap metal. "Well, looks like I've still got a few bugs to work out before this confounded contraption finally works," she sighed. She took off her karate gloves, picked up a screwdriver and was about to work on it again, then Patrick suddenly burst into her treedome.

"Sandy! Sandy!," he shouted hapilly, "Wanna go play Pirates?!"

Sandy looked at the pink seastar. She knew that Spongebob was usually working at the Krusty Krab by now, and she secretly loved it when Spongebob was there. "Sorry Patrick. I'm a little busy with my newest invention right now," she told him. "Maybe later on when Spongebob's back from work."

"But Spongebob is back from work!"

Her ears perked up at the sound of Spongebob's name. "Back from work? Already?"

"Yeah. Mr. Krabs told him that he and Squidward could have the day off seeing how Squidward drove away all the customers," he explained.

Sandy raised an eyebrow. "Well what in the name of Texas did he do to drive 'em all away like that?"

"He told everyone that he hated the Pirates of the Caribbean movies."

Sandy gasped! She didn't know Squidward hated those movies. Most of the people in Bikini Bottom that she knew of were all fans of those movies. Pearl practially worships Johnny Depp's character of Captain Jack Sparrow. Spongebob has at least half a dozen posters for all three movies inside his bedroom. Mr. Krabs has a model of the chest with cursed Aztec gold sitting at the foot of his bed. Patrick had a life-size manakin of the Black Pearl made out of mushroom and olive pizza until he got hungry and ate all of it. She had even seen Plankton painting a mural of the epic battle between Beckett and Davy Jones's men going against the pirates on the Black Pearl in the raging whirlpool during the storm on the back of the Chum Bucket. It was hard to imagine that anyone in Bikini Bottom hated Pirates, but she shook it off. "Alright then. Looks like yall've roped me in as Elizabeth again," she said as she elbowed Patrick a little and gave him a wink. She put on her air suit and followed Patrick outside. Once they got outside, Sandy automatically asked, "Mind tellin' me which one of you fellers is playin' Will Turner today?"

"Spongebob," he told her. "I already called Captain Jack Sparrow, so he took to being the part of Will today."

Sandy smiled. She liked it when Spongebob got to play the part of Will Turner because she knew that she'd get to be close to Spongebob. Real close. Who knows? Maybe he would even get to kiss her this time. So far they haven't gotten to kiss each other yet because Patrick kept forgetting his lines and they had to keep reminding him so it took three times as long as it usually would. One time they were close to it, but for some reason Spongebob stopped and started making excuses like he had to go home and rest up so he could work tomorrow, he had to feed Gary, it was getting dark, he had to study for his boating exam, et cetra. Sandy's mind went back to that day. She couldn't help but to wonder why he was making all those excuses, but she didn't wonder for long for they were already in Jellyfish Fields and before they knew it, they found Spongebob with Gary and... Squidward?!

"Now remember," Spongebob explained to him, "You have to aim your..."

"Aim my pistol at Patrick, then shoot, then realize that I have wet gunpowder because we were under water bacause we had to be upside down so that we could get out of Davy Jones's locker," Squidward said flatly as if he'd heard it a dozen times before. (Which he actually did in order to know what he was doing seeing how the only one of the Pirates movies he'd seen was the first one.) 'If only this water gun was a real pistol and had real bullets,' he thought to himself.

"Right." Spongebob looked to his right and found Patrick and Sandy. "Patrick! Sandy!," he shouted joyfully! He immediately ran up to the two with Squidward and Gary following him. He came up to Patrick and gave him a hi-five. "I see you've brought Miss Swann with you, Captain Jack."

"Indeed I did. It wasn't easy, but I did it."

"Good! It just wouldn't feel right without Elizabeth here." He turned to Sandy. She smiled sweetly and he smiled back with his usual grin. He secretly wanted to do more than just look at her and smile. He had certain feelings for Sandy that he desperately wanted to tell her, but he always had this hidden doubt that she wouldn't return his feelings for her. Not much later, Squidward finally came and joined the other three in their greetings.

Sandy's smile faded and she changed her attention from Spongebob to Squidward. What in the world was Squidward doing there? Wasn't he the one who openly claimed that he hated the Pirates movies? Patrick expressions were the same. "Hey! What he doing here? Trying to ruin our fun?," he asked grumpilly as he rudely pointed at Squidward nearly poking him in the nose.

Spongebob could see that Patrick wasn't happy, so he decided to explain quickly. "It's okay Patrick; he's going to play with us today. He's gonna be Captain Barbossa and come with us on our journey to bring all nine of the pirate lords together and free Calypso!"

Patrick just stared at Spongebob blankly. For a ten seconds he was completely still until he finally said, "So he's playing with us?"

"Yeah, pretty much. So, onward to the gathering of the Bre-"

"Wait!," somebody shouted! The four of them turned around to see that Mr. Krabs was walking up to the five of them.

"Mr Krabs? What are you doing here?," Spongebob questioned.

"Well seeings how you four be pirates, and pirates have treasure, and I love treasure, I'm in!"

Spongebob didn't exactly understand Mr. Krabs logic seeing how treasure wasn't one of the things he had in mind, but he completely understood that Mr. Krabs said that he wanted to come and play with them, and that meant more people to play with, and that they'd have even more fun! "Alright then! Hmm... Well, I don't think you'd make a good Davy Jones, and you'd make an even worse Cutler Beckett, so I think I'll make you... Mister Gibbs! What do you say, Mister K?"

"Does this Gibbs person get any of the treasure?"

"Uh... Yeah, I guess."

"Then I'm alright!"

"Alrighty then! Onward to the meeting of the-"

"Hold on there, Sponegebob!," a deep voice shouted! Then the six of them turned around again and found Plankton sitting on top of the Dirty Bubble. "Forward float!," he shouted at D.B., and forward he went. He floated all the way over to the other six.

"What do ye want Plankton? Aren't you gonna try to steal me formular today and utterly fail as you always do?" Krabs asked with a smug grin.

"Very funny Krabs, but not today. For you see, I've got nothing better to do and heard that your porous lackey and the dimwitted seastar are playing Pirates, and seeing how I love Pirates, I decided that I want to join too. Charles here was just giving me a lift so that I could catch up in time and play with you guys."

"What?! Surely ye can't be serious!"

"I'm afraid I am. So, do I make your crew?"

"This isn't possible!," Krabs shouted! He turned to the sponge. "Spongebob! Don't tell me your actually buying this bogus suck-up story, lad!"

"But Mr. Krabs, if he was lying to us, then wouldn't that mean that he'd be trying to steal the Krabby Patty formula right now?"

Krabs scratched the back of his head in thought of what Spongebob had just said. 'And if he's here, then that also means that I can keep an eye on him and make sure he doesn't leave to steal me formula,' he thought. Krabs smiled at the thought of this and said, "I guess he can be here."

"Good! Then he'll get to be Marty!"

"Marty?," Plankton asked

"Yeah. He's the short guy that works for Captain Jack. Is that okay?"

"Sure, I guess."

"Um... can I play as someone too?," D.B. asked shyly.

"Sure Dirty Bubble; you can be, uh... Norrington!"

"You mean I get to wear a powdered wig?!," he asked excitedly.

"Sure; you can borrow Patrick's." Spongebob reached into one Patrick's pockets. "I think I got it! No wait, that's a tennis shoe. Let's see... Here it... No, that's a baseball. Let's see, a golf ball, a tree, a pinball machine... Oh, hi Elvis. Um... Aha! Here it is!" He finally pulled out a powdered wig and put it on top of D.B.'s head. "Perfect! Now, onward to the meeting of-"

"Hold on there, sonny!," an elderly woman's voice shouted! Everyone turned yet again, to see that Mr. Krabs mother was coming towards them.

"Mommy?! What are you doing here?!," Mr Krabs asked?

"What? You didn't think I wanted to come with you too? I haven't played pirates since I was a little crab, and since everyone else is playin' pirates, I want to play too!"

Spongebob smiled. He didn't expect so many people to come here to play Pirates. This was a pleasant change in events. "Well then you can be... uh..." It took a while for Spongebob to think of someone that Mama Krabs could play seeing how there weren't that many main female roles in the Pirates movies. Then it suddenly hit him. "I got it! Mama Krabs can be Tia Dalma!"

"Tia Dalma? Who's that?," Squidward asked.

"She's one of the characters from Pirates of the Caribbean 2 and 3 that is a sea goddess named Calypso bound in human form."

"A goddess, you say? Well, this may turn out better than I expected. I'm definitely in now!"

"Great!," Spongebob shouted gleefully. "Now, onward to the meeting of the Bretrin Court!"

Well, there's chapter two. Again, sorry for not showing Jones and his crew in this chapter, but I assure you that he'll show up in chapter 3! Anyway, now it's time for my "Response to the Reviewers":

naruhinafan2010: Wow! First review! Thank you! (Yay! a fellow SpongexSandy fluff lover!)

s.: Thanks. I try my best to keep them in character as much as possible. (It's not that hard for me when it comes to these guys, but it's a bit difficult for other characters.)

lightknight21: Is this fast enough of an update?

K73ditzy: I know. I thought it'd be cute and funny to have Spongebob be Will and Sandy as Elizabeth.

Mitchie: Good to hear from you. Thanks!

Well, that's all for now. See ya next time!
