A/N: Here's Chapter 3! I don't think the beginning is great, but oh well. You decide.

"Man, that is something…" Parappa said.
He was sitting on the roof of the base where everything was going on. He was gazing up at the stars, which were everywhere, shining brightly. Jiminy leaped onto Parappa's shoulders, startling him. "Geez Jiminy! Give a guy a warning!"
"Well sorry Parappa. Didn't mean to startle ya like that." Jiminy said. Jiminy gazed up at the stars and whistled. "Sure is a pretty sight. Don't get a view like that in the city."
"Yeah, well, it's probably this good because there isn't anything around here for miles." The base was located in the middle of nowhere. There wasn't anything there; it was just the base and miles of land. "So, is Ximian still steaming?"
"He's starting to cool down. But you know he gets that way because he just to help all those people."
"Yeah, he has a lot to be stressed about. It's not like he has a lot of help or anything, seeing as though nobody but us cares!"
Jiminy sighed. "This again? Look, people are probably too busy t-"
"Too busy!?" Parappa got up and Jiminy hopped off his shoulder. Jiminy sensed Parappa was getting angry as he started to pace around. "They're not too busy, Jiminy. They just don't care at all! I mean, thousands upon thousands of people could possibly be killed and nobody but us wants to anything about it! You know why? Because to everyone else it doesn't matter! It doesn't affect them! Well maybe someday this exact thing will happen to them. They'll be begging for somebody to come and rescue them, but those people don't care either!"
"Look Parappa, I'm sure people do care! It's just that they have other things to do."
"Yeah, that's just it! People go around, hear the news and go 'Oh, that's too bad,' but do they do anything? No! They go back to their lives while those people are out there, suffering. You know, at some point people will wish they cared just a little god damn bit!" Parappa left, and Jiminy sighed. Parappa wigs out every once in a while about how he and Jiminy, out of millions of people, were the only ones who agreed to join the Nicktoons Restoration Committee: A group of people formed by Ximian who agreed to help the connected worlds called Nick. Their residences were referred to everyone as Nicktoons. Everyone except for them.
Parappa stormed into the base. It wasn't much of a sight: It was a huge room with a huge computer at the end of it. The walls were made out of metal and the floors were covered in concrete. The only other thin it the depressing room was a couch and an end table with a sheet over it. "Don't touch it!" Ximian would say every time Parappa tried to remove the sheet or asked about it. "What's under it is my business and mine alone." Parappa hopped on the couch, put up his hood and started to take nap. Jiminy followed Parappa to the base. He jumped onto the computer, which Ximian was still typing on it.
"Why was Parappa mad?" Ximian asked.
"The same reason you usually are. Sometimes I think you're rubbing off on him." Jiminy said.
Ximian looked at Jiminy, and he stepped back. He couldn't see through his hood, but he could tell he was scowling. "Is that a problem?"
"N – No. Well, it's just that you two seem to complain a lot about how nobody seems to be helping us."
"Yeah, well, this job is too big for three people, especially for a cricket and a dog."
"Touché."
Back at Amity Park, Timmy, Spongebob, Danny and his friend were sitting on Danny's couch in his living room, gasping for breath.
"Man...We must've searched through every square inch of Amity Park and Dimmsdale…" Danny said, gasping in between words.
"That was the most effort I've put into anything in m whole life…" Timmy said, gasping for air.
"So…now what do we do?" Sam said.
"Well right now it doesn't seem that this whole planet infusing thing seems to be much of an issue. So why do anything?" Timmy said.
"Well, I think there's a pretty good chance Spongebob's world will infuse with us too." Tucker said.
"And?"
"A giant ocean infusing with dry land?" Tucker then started to make wave sounds, making arm gestures imitating a wave crashing into things.
"…Good point. Alright then, we'll start looking again…right after we see what's on TV." Timmy grabbed a remote and turned on the television. What showed up was a news report about the planet infusion. An anchorwoman was standing in front of the green glowing line dividing Amity Park and Dimmsdale, where other people were gathering around it, taking pictures and staring blankly at it.
"…This indescribable event happened not 4 hours ago." The anchorwoman continued. "People are baffled on how this event occurred and top scientists are working feverishly to revert it, but as of now, it seems these two towns will be like this for a while until we come up with a solution."
"You know, whatever happened to the other halves of the towns when the infusion happened?" Spongebob asked.
"Oh god I never thought of that." Danny said, concerned. "You think they're just pain gone?"
"Probably."
"Oh, that's too bad."
"You know, it's getting kind of late." Timmy said. "So, due to this whole ordeal, I guess it would be ok if Spongebob and I stayed at your house."
Danny glared at Timmy. "Dude, I'm not letting a bucktoothed kid and a sponge sleep at my house! And plus your house is only a few doors down!"
"Yeah…but it's dark."
"Well good news: there's a giant green glowing strip to illuminate you journey!"
"Look, we could argue about how far the trip to my house is, or we could live in the moment where I can sleepover here. Now I choose to live in the moment."
"…You're very lazy, aren't you?"
Suddenly what seemed like an earthquake started to stir outside. "Oh no!" Tucker yelled. "You think Spongebob's world is fusing with us!?"
"No!" Danny yelled. "This is different!"
The five starred at the surprisingly still working television, which showed that a giant green glob emerged from the green strip. It plopped onto the ground, growing and growing, people starting to run away. Giant pieces of the streets started to crumble off and wrap themselves around the glob. It soon grew arms and legs, which were also covered by pieces of the street. Once the pieces come together, you get a giant rock monster with a green glow and green eyes. It roared, showing that the inside of its mouth was also green. "Uh oh…"
Meanwhile, in Jellyfish Fields, Patrick was swinging his jellyfishing net around, trying to catch some jellyfish, while Jimmy was leaning against the 'Jellyfish Fields' sign, annoyed and bored. Patrick turned to him and glared. "Come on Spongebob, you're not doing anything!"
Jimmy glared back, and in Patrick's face replied, "I am NOT Spongebob you idiotic invertebrate! My name is Jimmy Neutron!"
Patrick just rolled his eyes. "Whatever. You can join the fun whenever you get over this identity crisis." Patrick continued to jellyfish and Jimmy sighed. "I got to get out of here! The only thing I can do right now is try and get to the surface. Maybe up there thing will make sense. Hey, starfish…Patrick!"
Patrick turned around. "Yeah?"
"Look, I know this sounds weird, but I'm from a different world. I live in Retroville, and my name is NOT SPONGEBOB! I need to get to the surface world and try to find some resources where I could construct a teleportation device to get to my world. Do you know the closest place to the surface?"
Patrick stared blankly at Jimmy for a minute, and then replied "Sure thing Spongebob!" Jimmy sighed heavily. "The closest place to the surface is the island to the south. We could rent a boat mobile."
"Great! Let's do it!"
"Do what?"
Later on, Jimmy was driving in a boat mobile with Patrick in shotgun. "Drivin on the highway!" Patrick sung. "Goin to an island!"
"Could you PLEASE stop singing!?" Jimmy demanded.
"Alright fine…Drivin on the highway…dunnuhnunnuduhnun…" Jimmy sighed. "Are we almost there, Patrick?" he asked.
"You know, something tells me should have taken right, like…30 minutes ago." Jimmy growled.
Later on, Jimmy and Patrick were going down a busy street in an unknown town. "H-Hey, this is my mom's street! H-Hey Spongebob stop the car this is my mom's street!" Patrick pleaded.
"Not until you stop calling me Spongebob!"
"N-No come on that's my mom's house my mom1 is outside no NO!" Patrick started to whine and tears were dripping down his face. "That was my mom!"
Later on, Patrick and Jimmy, bored, were listening to iStill Alive/i on the radio and were singing along. "Aperture Science. We do what we must because we can." Patrick sung along.
"For the good of all of us," Jimmy also sung along.
"Except the ones who are dead."
They both started to sing. "But there's no sense crying over every mistake. You just keep on trying till you run of cake. And the science gets done and you make a neat gun for the people who are still alive."
Meanwhile, back at the unknown base, Jiminy was looking at the computer screen, concerned, when Parappa burst through the doors, running toward him. "Jiminy, did you hear? A guardian sprung up in Amity Park!"
"Yes Parappa, I heard!" Jiminy replied.
"Well, where's Ximian!?"
"He went to Bikini Bottom to fetch Jimmy. He's gonna bring him to Amity Park and we'll all meet there. He told you to finish up the weapons and meet us at Amity Park when you're done!"
"Got it!"
Parappa ran out of the room, while Jiminy put up his hood and jumped off the computer, suddenly fading away before landing.
