With Patrick gone and still a long way to go, SpongeBob, Sandy, and Squidward prepared themselves for their next battle.

A young girl in a pretty orange, polka-dotted dress stood before them. Her skin and hair were a strange shade of green and she wore a snobbish expression on her face. She looked to be about Pearl's age.

"You're one of that crazy count's minions?" Squidward asked, puzzled. "You look like an adolescent grasshopper!"

"Shut your ugly mouth!" the green girl snapped. Then her voice became sickly sweet. "I'm Mimi, but you can call me Mimikins if you want! Tee-hee!"

SpongeBob giggled. "Hi there, Mimikins! I'm Sponge-"

Squidward smacked SpongeBob on the head.

"Ouch," SpongeBob muttered.

"We don't need any of your smart-aleckness!" Sandy said to Mimi. "Now, let us through before I send you to time-out!"

Mimi scoffed. "As if! Please, take a bath before those fleas in your fur cause an infestation." Sneering, she added, "Oh, wait…they already have!"

Sandy's fur bristled and her tail flicked. Baring her teeth, she growled, "Ooh, you've got a lotta nerve! Step aside, boys…I'll show this lil' brat what a real Texas whoopin' looks like!"

"Sandy, are you sure?" Squidward worried.

"Sure as ever!" Sandy whooped, grinning. She ripped off her air suit to show her disturbingly sinewy, bikini-clad body.

Mimi's face burned red. "TRUE MIMI, COME FORTH!" she screamed.

At once, her head jerked to the side, and her neck bones cracked. Her eyes became hollow and black.

"What in Neptune's name…" Squidward whispered.

Mimi's head began to spin around completely, with her neck bones still cracking hideously. The head stopped spinning while upside-down.

Suddenly, six long- spiderlike legs sprouted from Mimi's head.

"EWW!" Squidward and SpongeBob yelled simultaneously.

Even Sandy was disgusted. She took a few scared steps back.

"Mimimimimi…" the she-spider hissed.

The squirrel regained her confidence. "HIII-YAAA!" she yelped, leaping into the air and karate-chopping one of Mimi's legs. The leg fell to the floor and Mimi wobbled slightly.

"Ugh!" the creature groaned. "How did you…"

"Hi-YA! Hiiiiii-YA-ya!"

Another leg was severed.

"Filthy squirrel!" Mimi shrieked. She birthed a sharp-ended, ruby-red jewel and launched it at Sandy.

"Oof!" The jewel had stabbed Sandy in the leg.

"Oh, no! She's hurt!" SpongeBob cried.

"I'm fine, SpongeBob! It was just a little cut!" Sandy was laughing and having the time of her life; she had never battled anything quite this big.

But her delight was short-lived. Mimi sent an entire wave of the rubies and Sandy had to weave in and out of them to avoid being impaled.

"Let's go before things get ugly!" Squidward urged SpongeBob toward the next door.

"But what about Sandy? She'll be killed!" SpongeBob was on the verge of tears.

"I promise I'll make spider stew outta this freak!" Sandy called, standing on Mimi's head. "I can beat her with a blink of an eye. It's just like a rodeo!"

"She's right! Come on!" Squidward agreed, taking the little yellow sponge by the shouders and ushering him into the next room.

"Yee-haw!" Sandy hollered behind them, snapping another one of Mimi's legs.
