Chapter 4: History of Horror
Later on, after meeting the Alternate SpongeBob SquarePants and returning the money Alternate Vlad had stolen, Timmy, Danny, and the fairies reach a large orange apartment that Alternate SpongeBob led them to.
"Well, here we are." Alternate SpongeBob pointed. "My own pad."
"This is really where you live?" Danny asked in disbelief.
"That's right." Alternate SpongeBob nodded. "Just follow me inside and we'll get this all straightened out."
As Alternate SpongeBob walked inside, Timmy looked at Danny and said, "I guess this SpongeBob doesn't live in a pineapple under the sea." Danny narrowed his eyes dully at this.
Danny and Timmy walk in and look around the living room to see it was not much different than the real SpongeBob's place, though a lot less colorful and lively.
"Just take a seat on the couch and I'll be with you in a moment." Alternate SpongeBob told the two.
Danny and Timmy obey and both take a seat on the old worn out red couch by the wall. Then a snail which resembled Gary, slithered over to them.
"Aw, it's Gary." Timmy said in a cute babyish voice. "Does he want to be petted?"
"Could I get you anything, sirs?" Alternate Gary actually said in a sophisticated British accent, causing the two boys to yelp in shock.
Just then, Alternate SpongeBob walked over to them with his goggles over his helmet. "I see you guys have met my butler, Garold." He introduced. "Every great superhero needs one. Is there anything you boys would like to drink?"
"Uhh…" Danny stammered. "Two purple flurps?"
"Of course, sir." Alternate Gary responded before slithering away.
"Is he supposed to talk?" Timmy asked Alternate SpongeBob.
"Of course, why wouldn't he?" Alternate SpongeBob asked, looking rather confused.
Danny covered Timmy's mouth as he answered, "No reason."
Alternate SpongeBob shook his head. "Boy, you two are all too weird."
When the sponge walked away, Timmy whispered to Danny, "Other than talking snails, this universe is pretty cool."
"How can you say that?" Danny whispered back. "What makes you think we can even trust this guy?"
"It's SpongeBob," Timmy replied bitterly. "He saved us and he's still the same happy and cheery SpongeBob we know."
"Well, Jimmy is still the genius kid we know, and he turned out to be a psychotic loon who tried to kill us."
Timmy turned his head to see Alternate SpongeBob absent-mindedly staring out the window for some reason. "Maybe." He responded unsure. "But this SpongeBob doesn't seem bad so far, otherwise he would've already tried to kill us. Let's just give him a chance."
"Okay," Danny reluctantly agreed. "But I still think there's something off about him."
"What can be so different about him from the real SpongeBob?"
At this, they see Alternate SpongeBob remove his helmet, and from out of it fell long red hair attached to his head. Danny and Timmy's eyes slowly widen and jaws lower as they see Alternate SpongeBob close his eyes and shake his head in what looked like slow-motion to the boys as they see his long elegant red hair move left and right in the air. Cosmo, Wanda, and Poof were even stunned by this, but Wanda couldn't help but grin.
"Is that what you were talking about?" Timmy asked Danny, still in shock.
"No," Danny responded, just as shocked.
Then Alternate SpongeBob's hair finally stopped behind his shoulders and he turned around to notice Danny and Timmy still staring at him with their jaws still lowered. "Hey, are you guys okay?" he asked them in concern.
The two finally shake their heads back to reality and nervously respond. "Oh, I…just…" Danny tried to say.
"We…were just…" Timmy also stammered.
"Thinking that…"
Just then, Alternate Gary returned with two glasses of purple flurp on a tray attached to his shell, and the two quickly grabbed a glass and drank it quickly.
Danny then turned to Alternate SpongeBob and said, "So why don't we talk now?"
Later on, Timmy, Danny, and Alternate SpongeBob were sitting at a table, discussing things as Alternate Gary slowly went around the table, placing dishes of food in front of them. Wanda was feeding Poof a bottle as Cosmo drank some purple flurp.
"Another universe, huh?" Alternate SpongeBob questioned at what the two had told him. "Hmm, that's tough. It really explains a lot."
Then Timmy added, "Not to mention we appeared right in the lab of an evil Jimmy Neutron."
Right after Timmy's sentence, Alternate SpongeBob suddenly crushed a glass of purple flurp in his hand with the liquid sliding down his hand and onto the table.
"Uh…SpongeBob?" Danny asked in concern. "Are you okay?"
Alternate SpongeBob loosened his grip on the crushed glass and shook his head as he put on a smile, "Oh yes, I'm just fine. Don't worry about me."
"But you just freaked out when I mentioned Jimmy Neutron." Timmy pointed out.
Just like last time, Alternate SpongeBob's face winced and this time pounded his fist on the table, causing all the glasses and plates to clang on the table.
"SpongeBob, relax." Danny quickly said. "We're sorry, but we wanna know more about this universe, even if it has to do with Jimmy Neutron."
Alternate SpongeBob gritted his teeth and seemed to growl quietly. But then, he quickly calmed down and responded, "Very well."
Danny and Timmy go silent as Alternate SpongeBob begins saying, "From what you told me, your universe is nothing compared to the one here. In this universe, we don't have any disease called 'Rickmoons'."
"Uh…that's Nicktoons" Danny corrected. "And it's not a disease; it's a team that Timmy, me, you, and a good Jimmy Neutron formed in our universe."
"Nicktoons, huh? Alternate SpongeBob understood until he muttered quietly, "Dumb name for a team if you ask me." But then he coughed in his fist and said, "Well, you see, around here we don't have separate worlds or multi-dimensions; just one."
"That explains why we saw everyone here." Timmy realized. "This is pretty cool, having all our worlds merged together and everyone living in one place."
"You may think that." Alternate SpongeBob said in a solemn tone. "But not many are happy with the way things are, especially with 'him' around."
"'him'?" Timmy questioned.
"You don't mean Jimmy Neutron, do you?" Danny asked, which made Alternate SpongeBob wince again.
"Yes," Alternate SpongeBob answered. "His intellectual brain has made him a mad man. Anyone who comes in contact with him may never be seen again…or worse."
Danny and Timmy gulp in shock. "That can't be right." Danny said in disbelief. "Jimmy would never do that."
"Maybe in your universe he wouldn't." SpongeBob replied with an angered look. "But I'm sure you saw just how he is when you encountered him first hand."
Danny looked over at Timmy and frowned, while the younger boy frowned back at him. "Have you ever run into him yourself?" Timmy asked Alternate SpongeBob.
Alternate SpongeBob frowned and averted his eyes away from them. "A few times…to stop him from doing what he does best."
"Which is…?" Danny wanted to know.
"Experimentation." Alternate SpongeBob answered. "Neutron always experiments with things he could use for his own gain and would take out anyone who stands in the way of that."
"By experiments," Timmy nervously began asking. "What kind do you mean?"
"That depends. Sometimes, it's been said that usually his experiments are to test his inventions on his captives to see if they're successful." Alternate SpongeBob sighed sadly. "And who knows if they were successful or not…especially to the one he's testing it on."
Timmy looked at Danny and said, "Our Jimmy would never experiment on other people."
Alternate SpongeBob pounded his fists on the table again. "Well, our Jimmy would not even consider the safety of others!" he yelled at the top of his lungs, startling the boys.
"We're sorry." Danny uttered out of his mouth. "If…you don't mind me asking, do you know anyone who Jimmy has captured?"
Alternate SpongeBob was silent for a bit until he finally answered, "A few…but I couldn't save them. His lab is heavily guarded with tight security. Every time I try to break in, I'm only barely able to escape myself. So far…I've only managed to go in and save one."
"Who?" Timmy asked.
Alternate SpongeBob looked at Danny for a moment, but then shook his head. "Nobody important." Then he turned to a snail clock on the wall and he stood up. "Oh, is it that time already? We better get some shut eye."
"But we still have so many questions." Danny pointed out.
"Like how we can get back home." Timmy added.
But Alternate SpongeBob stood up and said, "That can all wait until tomorrow. Besides, with the day you boys have had, you need all your strength back. In the morning, I can show you around this universe."
Danny and Timmy didn't look sure about that until Alternate SpongeBob opened a door. "You can both stay in this room. I usually use this room for when guests stay over anyway."
The two boys walk in and see one large bed set in the middle of the small room. "I guess this is fine." Danny responded.
"Well, I'll see you guys in the morning." Alternate SpongeBob smiled as he left the room. "Pleasant dreams."
Once the door closed, Danny turned to Timmy and quickly said, "See, I told you there was something off about him."
"I know," Timmy nodded and put one hand on his head. "Did you see his hair?"
Wanda appeared and smiled dreamingly. "It was the most beautiful hair in the entire world."
"And what is that supposed to mean?" Cosmo asked, looking annoyed.
"It wouldn't kill you to grow hair as gorgeous as that." Wanda replied with a glare.
But Danny just interrupted, "Will you guys forget about the hair! I'm talking about SpongeBob's attitude. You did notice how he flinched every time we mentioned Jimmy."
"Yeah, that's true." Timmy agreed. "Despite his cool and appealing doo, he does act funny like everyone else in this universe."
Danny frowned sadly, "Yeah…and that's what worries me. If Jimmy's supposed to be the bad guy, and SpongeBob is still a hero; what are you and me like…and what about everyone else?"
Everything has been learned for the better and for the worst, what else will be found out in this strange universe. Please review what you think and stay tuned for the next chapter.
