Author's note

Hey guys! I am sorry for not updating you guys for a while! However, I am back! This fanfic is not that important. It's just an idea that popped into my head. Nevertheless, the first several chapters will be short, but I guarantee it will get longer at the end. This story was also heavily inspired by the SpongeBob SquarePants Movie 2004. This story also contains some spoilers, so if you have not watched the movie. I highly recommend you not to read this fanfic. And also, a big thank you for Dreamer1920. For the excellent encouragement, you gave me. Moreover, I also apologize for the long note. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I do not own Spongebob Squarepants. But, I do, however, own this story.

(2/4/21) Update: fixed grammar and clarity issues.

Chapter 1

A new day

It had been 16 years since plankton took over bikini bottom. He needed a plan to come up with. So, he can retain his position. However, every project he tried was a failure. He would typically get laughed at by his ex-best friend. Mr. Krabs. Who obtained a successful business in bikini bottom. He also possesses the Krabby Patty secret formula. Plankton had tried and failed at retrieving the formula. He would constantly come to the Krusty Krab regular to try to steal the recipe. However, this time he did not come. Mr. Krabs, however, was suspicious of plankton. He knew something was up. He ordered his employees to keep an eye out for plankton.

Meanwhile, at the chum bucket...

at the chum bucket. Plankton sat at the counter and Thought of an idea to overtake the Krusty Krab. Nothing came to his mind at first. But then, ideas started flooding in. He wrote the schemes in a journal to look at them later. Karen looked at her husband. Knowing he would likely fail.

"Karen! I have done it! I have a master plan to rule bikini bottom," Plankton said to his wife.

'Well, I hope it's not a failure. Because all of your other plans either did not work or you just gave up on them,' Karen said to her husband.

"Well, this time, it won't fail."

Meanwhile, at the Krusty krab...

'All right, lads. Plankton is up to something. So, I am asking you to keep an eye out for the little pest.'

'Ey ey sir!' Spongebob said to Mr krabs in a cheerful tone.

'Whatever.' said Squidward. he did not care about his job or his reputation. The only thing he cared about was his clarinet. He was also dull and arrogant. Spongebob, on the other hand, loved his job. He was funny and sweet and was optimistic.

'All right, Squidward. I have something to tell you."

'Well, what is it?"

'Well, Squidward, I will be out of town for a while. And if you are wondering where I am going. I am going to visit a friend. I am also asking you to keep the formula safe from plankton.

'Well, ok, Mr krabs.'

SpongeBob was around the corner. Listening to every word Mr. Krabs and Squidward said in the conversation. He asked Mr krabs where he was going. He said he was going to visit a friend. SpongeBob asked 'Well, who is going to be the boss while you're gone?"

'Well, I guess, Squidward's boss until I get back, so you better take his orders seriously."

'Ay ay, sir!' Spongebob said as the bus came to a stop at the Krusty Krab.

'Well, that's the bus. I will see you, lads, again in three days.

'Bye, Mr k! I will see you again, in three days,' SpongeBob said as the bus vanished into the mist.

5 hours later.

Squidward glanced at the Krusty krab clock. It was 6:30 pm. The time SpongeBob and Squidward were supposed to go home. Squidward shouted to SpongeBob, saying, 'SpongeBob, it's time to go home. Are you coming?"

'Oh, I am coming—Squidward.' SpongeBob replied.

After a few minutes, later SpongeBob and Squidward got out of the Krusty Krab. They walked to their homes. SpongeBob was the first to reach his house while Squidward came in last.

SpongeBob opened the door to his pineapple home. Only to be welcomed by his pet snail, Gary.

'Oh, hey Gary, how was your day?'

'Meow.' (my day was fine, how was yours?)

'It was fine, Gary." SpongeBob replied.

The next day

The irritating noise of beeping came -once again- from his nightstand. A tired SpongeBob slammed the snooze button. He got up, opening his eyes a tiny bit. Just to see the red numbers 6:30 glowing in the dark and quickly shutting his eyes again.

To put it simply, SpongeBob was exhausted. After a minute of sleeping, The Sea-sponge decided to Get up and take a quick shower knowing it would refresh him. After a quick shower, the naive sponge went slowly to his kitchen. He was opening a cabinet and taking out a bowl and a box of Kelpos. He poured the cereal into the bowl and then the milk. He took a spoon and began to eat his cereal. After a while, he finished lifting the bowl and putting it into his sink.

'Oh, Gary, I am sorry for not feeding you,' SpongeBob said as he opened the cabinet to take out Gary's favorite snail food. He opened the can with a can-opener and poured it into Gary's bowl. He sat down in his chair. Turning on the tv, he switched from channel to channel. Nothing seemed to appeal to him today. However, one specific channel caught his eye. It was a news channel. He turned on to the channel. Only to see big red letters "EMERGENCY BROADCAST." he was confused. but kept on watching.

To be continued...

*sigh* Sorry if some parts of the story looked rushed or cheesy. It's my weird writing. If You have any suggestions or just want to roast me on how bad my writing is. Then feel free to do so. It helps me improve. Anyhow, chapter 2 will come out in mid-April

so stay tuned for that too.
