Chapter 4
In which Plankton burps
loudly and Patrick explodes.
Squidface smiled. He was in a plane heading for Bikini Bottom, where he and his parents agreed to go to for the family reunion. He wasn't exactly going to use Tom's plan, he had something more complicated in mind to get his parents to like him…
Plankton
waited. He watched impatiently at the computer screen showing
Patrick sleep.
"Oh, this is taking too long!" shouted
Plankton. "Karen!"
"Yes?" said Karen.
"Wake him
up!"
"I can't do that."
"Why not?"
"He's
under his rock and I'm in here." Said Karen.
"Then
install a microphone there!"
"Yes, your majesty."
"And
make me some holographic meatloaf while you're at it." Said
Plankton.
Karen sighed. The work of a computer/wife to an evil
amoeba is never done.
She sent emails to the nautical
microphone company to install a microphone at 120, Conch Street,
Bikini Bottom, connected to the microphone in Plankton's
laboratory.
She then put up a holographic image of a meatloaf
on Plankton's table and using a robot hand, put a can of soda on
it, too.
Plankton went out of the bathroom. He went to the
table.
"Holographic meatloaf? My favourite!" he said as he
ran to the table, grabbed the fork and started "eating"
it.
"By the way," said Plankton. "When will that
microphone be installed?"
"About two hours," said
Karen.
"Great," said Plankton sarcastically. He continued
with a loud belch that didn't stop for another hour.
For the
past few months Plankton was experimenting on a new item for his
fast food menu. So far it was only like this:
The Chum
Bucket
Chum Burger
Chum Fries
Chum Shake
Chum on
a Stick
Chumbalaya (New)
Chum Chilli
Chum Pie
He
needed an item on the list that didn't have any chum. So for
weeks he researched on how to make a soda that could make the
loudest burp.
After weeks and weeks of hard work and repetition
(he sometimes got calculations wrong and that resulted in starting
again, and an eternal scar on his left leg), he finally got it
right on the day before where we are now.
Karen put the special
soda on Plankton's table as a joke.
When the microphone was
set into Patrick's home and after Plankton had stopped belching,
Plankton got the microphone that hung from the ceiling and
shouted.
"WAKE UP!" Plankton shouted into the microphone.
On the computer screen Patrick woke up and sat up.
"What?"
he shouted as he woke. "Where's the fire?"
"Calm down,"
said Plankton into the microphone. "Now, I want you to…"
"Who
said that?" said Patrick. "Huh?" Patrick yelled so loud that
the chip inside his brain exploded.
"Ahhh," yelled Patrick.
He suddenly exploded too.
Plankton just watched the screen. He
couldn't believe it. His crony, his guinea pig, had just
died.
Well, not really. The real Patrick wasn't dead. All
your questions will be answered.
