Chapter 10 Gotta get out

After the torment, the three girls were sent to bed early.

"But we don't want to go back in that ::dolphin noise:: hole you call a basement," protested Pearl.

As she cocked out her gun, Mrs. Puff then threatened, "Get your ::dolphin noise:: in that ::dolphin noise:: basement or you will be whale and fish stew. NOW!"

This scared the girls into the basement and Mrs. Puff locked the door.

To the audience Mrs. Puff said, "And that's how you punish three troublemakers. Now I am going to spend some well deserved relaxing time."

Mrs. Puff then sat carefully on the couch and turned on the TV.

In the basement, Anna said, "I don't know how much I can take it anymore. That crazy lady is ruining our lives. I just want to commit suicide."

"Well don't," Lana said, "There is a better way out."

"Yeah," Pearl said, "I brought us in this situation and I can fix it."

"How? Mrs. Puff has us locked in here," Anna pointed, "And she can catch us escaping."

"We'll just have to escape at night," Pearl said, "I am strong enough to bust down the doors and if Mrs. Puff does catch us, we will fight."

"But what if she has a gun?" Lana asked.

"We will throw stuff at her and I mean heavy stuff. Now get packing," Pearl said.

Anna and Lana obeyed and Pearl packed her stuff as well. After that, Pearl set an alarm on her phone and they all went to sleep until it went off at one AM.

"Wake up," Pearl whispered to the girls as she shook both of them, "We got to escape Mrs. Puff's house."

Pearl, Anna, and Lana then got up and grabbed their stuff.

"Are you ready, Pearl?" Lana whispered, as soon as they got to the basement door.

"Ready," Pearl whispered back.

They then counted quietly, "One . . . Two . . . Three." Pearl then pried the door open and they ran to the front only to be caught by Mrs. Puff.

"What are you doing up?" She asked rather bitterly.

"Nothing," Pearl replied nervously.

"I don't believe you," said the puffer fish, "I know you were trying to escape."

"How did you know?" Lana wondered.
Anna then whispered, "Lana, shh."

"There is no use in trying to hide it," Mrs. Puff said, "I have my ways and because you disobeyed me, I have a surprise for you."

Mrs. Puff then cocked out her gun and in response, the three girls ran; but Mrs. Puff was quick to pull the trigger. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Each girl fell one by one.

Three days later, they woke up in the hospital.

"What happened?" Pearl wondered.

"I don't know," Lana responded, she then looked at a mirror hanging on the wall and could not believe her eyes.

"My face is back!" Lana exclaimed, "And so are your's. Pearl and Lana, look in the mirror."

"Thank Neptune," Pearl said, "This is like a blessing from Heaven."

"I know right," replied Anna, "I thought we were going to be faceless for the rest of our lives. Say, I wonder who did this for us."

A doctor fish, who was standing in the room along with Mr. Krabs, Lana's parents and Anna's parents, explained, "A young man by the name of SpongeBob Squarepants told me he was on his way home from a late night shift and saw the incident. He called the ambulance and paid for your face transplants and for the surgeries for your wounds," he then looked at his clipboard and said, " According to the charts, you should make a good recovery. You will just have to spend two weeks in the hospital. Now I have to go check with another patient."

The doctor fish then left the room.

"We are so glad that you are okay," Lana's mom said.

"So what will be happening to Mrs. Puff?" Lana wondered.

Mr. Krabs then explained, "Mrs. Puff is in a mental health facility for a month and then she will be sent to this hospital to have an inflation sac transplant."

Anna's mom then said, "SpongeBob has set a Go Fund Me account to raise money to help Mrs. Puff and had raised more than enough. He has also asked people to help and pray for Mrs. Puff."

"Help and pray for her?" Pearl cringed, "Why would we help and pray for her. That woman is the spawn of Satan. Do you know what she put us through?"

"Yeah," Lana added, "She should be doing more than a month in a mental institution. She should be in prison for life or executed."

"Now girls," Lana's mom explained, "Mrs. Puff is a puffer fish and when she is deflated and can't puff, she will turn psychotic, but once she regains her puff, she will regain her sanity."

"Also," Lana's dad added, "I don't want to say this in front of SpongeBob but he has tormented Mrs. Puff for years. He was the one who cause her inflation sac to pop for the first time as well."

"Then why didn't Mrs. Puff do this stuff to him?" Lana wondered.

"Because," Lana's dad explained, "SpongeBob never meant to torment her and he is a redeemer. Lately, he's become less annoying and troublesome."

"I still don't understand," Lana said, "But please can we not go back to her house?"

"Why of course," Lana's mom said, "While you were in a coma, we had a talk and decided that you can all go home after you three are checked out."

"Thank Neptune," Lana explained.

And so, Pearl, Anna, and Lana returned home to their normal lives. Three months later Mr. Krabs said to his daughter with enthusiasm,

"Pearl, I have some wonderful news."

"What is it, dad?" Pearl wondered.

"Mrs. Puff and I are engaged and we are getting married," Mr. Krabs replied.

Pearl then responded, "Oh crap."

Three weeks later, at the wedding, Mrs. Puff was off her walker and her inflation was back. She wore a beautiful white frilly dress and a veil with roses on it and Mr. Krabs wore a tux. After they walked down the aisle, a priest said, to Mr. Krabs,

"Do you take this woman to be your wife?"

"I do," Mr. Krabs answered and to Mrs. Puff, the priest said,

"Do you take this man to be your husband?"

Mrs. Puff responded, "I do."

"You may kiss the bride," the priest finally said and Mr. Krabs and Mrs. Puff both kissed.

They were finally happily married and Mr. Krabs became less obsessed with money. Not only that, but a month after the wedding something else happened.

At the Boating School, Mrs. Puff said to SpongeBob, "Okay SpongeBob. Are you ready for you boating exam?"

SpongeBob replied enthusiastically, "Ma'am yes ma'am."

"Good," Mrs. Puff said and the test began.

Mrs. Puff panicked, but only for a while. She could not believe what she saw when SpongeBob, for once, drove perfectly.

It's a miracle, Mrs. Puff thought, It's like something invaded his mind, thus making him a better driver.

As soon as the test ended, SpongeBob parked the boat.

"SpongeBob," Mrs. Puff said happily, "I can't believe I'm saying this, but you passed!"

"I did?" SpongeBob wondered.

"You certainly did," Mrs. Puff said, showing him the grade he made. As she gave SpongeBob his driving licence she said, "Here is your licence."

"Thank you, Mrs. Puff," SpongeBob said as he hugged her.

Mrs. Puff did not know how things could get any better. She fully recovered from that boating accident, got married, and finally got rid of SpongeBob.

That afternoon, when it was time to go home, Mrs. Puff drove home, to Mr. Krabs' house, feeling the happiest that she did not feel in a long time. All the hardship was behind her. She had a new life; a life that she had dreamed about. Sure she would still deal with a few problems from time to time, but for the most part, her life was changed for the better.

The End
