Episode 8: The Make or Break
3:02 PM
Outside of Patrick's rock
Saturday night came, and the four bandmates walked out of Patrick's rock with their instruments. They were wearing those coats that detectives use, and bags on their heads with holes of the eyes and nose.
"Why are we wearing this?" Sandy asked.
"That's because we are still in shunning." Spongebob said.
"Then how did you get these coats?" Patrick said.
"I got them off the set of CLUEDOnit. Sandy is wearing Scarlet's coat, Patrick is wearing Plum's coat, Spongebob is wearing Mustard's coat, and I am wearing Peacock's coat." Squidward said.
"Why are you wearing Ms. Peacock's coat?" Sandy asked again.
"Because I'm a blue man! And you are the color of light crap." Squidward started to panic after having multiple flashbacks to the times he said something without thinking.
"Um, narrator?" Squidward asked. "I have a disorder that gives me constant flashbacks. Please shut up about them."
Um… Okay. I'm guessing the studio needs another fourth wall. Back to the story, Sandy punched Squidward.
"Now that you have a big red mark on your face, I think you'll want to wear Scarlet's coat." Sandy yelled.
"Hey guys, stop your stupid fight! I called a Boat-Taxi-Van, and its right around the corner. Hide your voices!" Spongebob told them. The BTV pulled up, and they put their instruments in the trunk and they went into the van.
"So, kids and their new-fangled weird bands," The old grey haired taxi driver told them. "I'll never understand music."
"Oh, we are dancers." Sandy said in a low-pitched voice.
"We are a dance group called, um…" Spongebob said in a high pitched voice.
"The Suspects!" Squidward said in a non-nasal voice. "You know, like as in Clue, or in international countries, Cluedo, as they say on that Mikipedia website, we're wearing the detective/suspect's clothes."
"Yeah. We are wearing the coats of Ketchup, Amarillo, Grape, and Bird." Patrick said in a Patricky voice. How people know his voice, I don't know, but the driver shoved them all outside.
"You guys will have to pay for new leather seats, because mine now have shun on them! Curse you!" And the bus driver pulled away, without even picking up their shunned money.
Sardine Street
3:10 PM
"Ugh! This street! I hated this street! I had to get a DUI here!" Sandy yelled.
"I hate to ask, but what exactly happened then?" Spongebob asked, ready to get torn up into little sponges. But instead, she just said it in a calm voice.
"Spongebob, I'm sorry, but I don't talk about why I got arrested. No one wants to. It's kind of personal." Sandy said calmly and unusual. "I'm sorry guys for that. I had just gotten over a break up with… never mind. HE won't be mentioned." Sandy said that last sentence irritated.
"You mean that guy who poisoned us?" Spongebob wondered/spoke.
"You mean that guy whose sister saved us?" Squidward said as well.
"You mean that guy WHO IS THE MAIN REASON WE ARE SHUNNED, WALKING DOWN A BAD MEMORY LANE?" Patrick was about to have a full-sized rant when Sandy shut him up by covering his mouth.
"Patrick, that alliterated initial person might be around us. You never know. I never knew either." Sandy said.
"What do you mean?" Squidward asked Sandy.
But Sandy just looked forward, and said, "I can't tell you. It's too big to tell you. Or anyone." She didn't talk for the rest of the walk, and it took quite some time before getting to the Krusty Krab.
"Guys. We need to keep these costumes on. Eugene will try his best to prevent people knowing The Suspects are actually four people on Bikini Bottom's Most Unwanted." Spongebob said.
"Yeah, I hope Eugene does all those things those Ghost Pranksters did to his restaurant." Squidward laughed. (NOTE: The pranksters are not Spongebob and Patrick, who were the pranksters in Pranks-A-Lot.) Time passed, and they eventually got to the Krusty Krab. The Krusty Krab was closed for them, and the walls were covered with waterproof construction paper to hide the fact a shunned group of people were in there.
4:34 PM
Krusty Krab
"Well, now what?" Sandy asked. They had a bunch of cool effects like lasers and smokes machines were set in place, they had all the lighting and stuff done, and they rehearsed every song so much they just wanted to forget about them.
"We should go in the kitchen. Maybe we can cook up some grub." Spongebob said. They went into the kitchen and started eating Spongebob's Krabby Patties.
"This is nice. But I need to do my usual cigarette things. Better now than later." Sandy said.
4:36 PM
Outside
Sandy went outside and lit a cigarette. That was when a guy wearing the same type of coat as they were, but a regular detective one, came up.
"You Ms. Cheeks?" He said.
"Um, I'm not confirming anything." Sandy said.
"I've watched you perform twice. I've also heard you on the news. Remember? Way back on October 6? The day you drove the wrong way for ten minutes?" He said again. "I know you. You're Sandy N. Cheeks. 16, and part of a band. And to prove I know you, I can tell you everything about your ex. You know, RR?" Sandy felt herself starting to break apart, slowly fading to dust. RR was basically a sign of bad luck to her.
"Okay, okay! I'm Sandy Cheeks!" Her voice broke.
"Now, now, don't cry, miss. You don't want your mascara to smear." He added.
"What brings you here anyway? Are you one of the police? Here to arrest me for smoking?" Sandy asked. The man gave her an envelope. It read, "VICTORY. By Bigslayerguyman" (Thanks for the song! It finally hits the limelight!)
"Is this you?" Sandy asked.
"No. I'm Benny. I went to Poseidon High with you." He finally spoke. "This is a song."
"Well, thanks Benny. I'll look at it right now." She went back into the restaurant.
4:40 PM
Kitchen
"… And the punchline is, Saltines!" Squidward chuckled. Patrick and Spongebob started to laugh.
"Um… guys?" Sandy asked.
"What?" Patrick and Spongebob asked. "Jinx!"
"I have this song. We need to learn it now! We have two hours, which I bet is enough. Let's go! To the stage!" The envelope had the lyrics to a song, and in perfect sheet music.
7:59 PM
About to start
"Ladies and Gentlefish! I give you, Superst- I mean, Suspects! The Super Suspects!" Mr. Krabs yelled. A big present box onstage burst open, and "The Suspects" started with a dance number to "The Reel Deal" By Daisy Luigi. The crowd went wild. Then, they started to sing VICTORY.
"This song goes out to Bigslayerguyman, who wrote this song!" Squidward un-nasally yelled.
Song: Victory
Sung by: Spongebob (Peter Amarillo)
Written by: Bigslayerguyman (A couple changes by Maximagination [Basically spell corrections and an extra line])
"I'm not gonna fight with you anymore," Spongebob (Or Mustard) sang, "This is my night, I know what's in store, Cause this is my, VICTORY! This is my night, just don't fight no more, We've got something going on, Don't make me fight no more, we can do it, and make our VICTORY!" Sandy's (Or Scarlet's) guitar solo came on and the crowd went wild! The lasers and the smoke machines turned a dull, dusty, restaurant, into an epic stage. The crowd roared and roared, and any slight thought that they were a shunned group faded away. "Because this is our, VICTORY!" Spongebob continued, "This is my night, just don't fight no more, We've got something going on, Don't make me fight no more, we can do it, and make our VICTORY! VICTORY! VICTORY!" And the crowd went wild.
8:57 PM
About to end
"Show up or don't, because we won't tolerate those who eight! Those who eight, those who hate, cuz' if you have nothing nice to say, shut your mouth up." They sang, ending with their first gig song. Nobody seemed to realize that The Suspects were SSSCS. The crowd was so excited, they were too happy for an encore. The band went into the Kitchen to divide up the money.
"It wasn't quite up to maximum occupation," Eugene yelled, because the noise in the restaurant was still voluminous. "We only got 35 people. That means you got $244.65. But if I still get 45% and the $70, you guys get $64.56." He gave them the money.
"If we subtract the money we used for renting all the machines for the lasers and stuff," Squidward said, "We get, umm…" Squidward took Eugene's calculator and added all the renting of stuff. "Unfortunately, We lose $36.83 cents (I didn't do the research, but they rented A LOT). Not bad! But I think we might be a different band now." Squidward kind of joked around on the last sentence, but he was kind of right. SSSCS is now The Suspects.
9:16 PM
In the back
"So… this is where you got that new song?" Patrick asked.
"Yeah, there was this guy named Benny. He seemed nice, but kind of like a stalker." Sandy told him. Spongebob took a table out, placed four Krabby Patties on the table, and yelled, "To The Suspects!"
"The Suspects!" They ate their patties and just sat there, chatting. That was when Stingrayman showed up. Yeah, that's right! THE Stingrayman Hev.
"Oh, it's you," Squidward said kind of sarcastically.
"Yeah, it's me," He said in a similar voice.
"Sorry for the un-enthusiasm." Sandy said. "You labeled us as shunned."
"I'm sorry about that, but I fixed it." He answered back.
"How?" Spongebob questioned.
"I know how you guys sound. I knew it was you guys all along. When you four went off stage, I told everyone that The Suspects were SSSCS, and that they rocked. I'm not sure if I have inexplicitly said it, but I also un-shunned you guys."
"Really?" SSSCS said in unison, happy.
"Yeah. When you have as much of a status as I do, it can happen. But I'm really sorry. It was never your fault." He told them.
"We have to leave now. We'd love to stick around with an icon like you, but we have to get back. Thanks a billion." Squidward said. They put everything away. Sandy, Spongebob, Squidward, and Patrick started to walk back in, when they heard a gunshot. They quickly turned their heads, and they saw Stingrayman Hev, mouth open, falling to the floor.
"Is he?" Sandy asked. Spongebob started to cry. Squidward checked him for a pulse.
"Yes. And I think I know who it was." Squidward said.
"Who?" Patrick asked.
"It was RR." And Squidward felt Mr. Hev's hand turn cold.
That wraps up this week's SSSCS! Here's a sneak peek to what's next on SSSCS:
Sandy walked up to the podium. She wasn't dressed like a punk. No eyeliner, no fluffed up fur, and no ripped up clothes. Just a mature, 16-year old girl wearing a plain, black dress. She tapped the microphone, and started to speak.
"I loved him. Way back when his first single came out on the radio, I wanted to be him. EVERYONE wanted to be him. Then, we went to one of his clubs, where me and my bandmate got poisoned. It hurt to get accused by someone I looked up to. But then we made up, and I felt, for a second, we were friends. Not because he was a big icon, or because he had a lot of money, because he realized what he had done and fixed it. And for him to die, right behind us..." Her voice started to crack. "Especially by an ex of mine, it's just," Her voice broke, and tears rolled down her face. "I can't say this. It's too sad." She started to cry, but she ran off before anyone could see much. Her three friends followed her.
A note from Maximagination: Much more about the show to come in the future! Keep an eye out for the next episode! The next episode is kind of sad, and if you don't want to sit through it (you should, it's kind of deep) skip the next chapter. It isn't that necesary in the canon, but it might be in the future. C U L8R!
Oh, and by the way, I'm planning on making a lot of offseason (Not that much time) things between season 1 and 2. Should it get it's own fanfic entry or should it be part of this one? Comment please. Good Night.
