        Something in the shadows was moving. "Mr. Krabs is just playing a joke." SpongeBob thought nervously. "HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA!" The thing laughted evilishly.

      The only thing SpongeBob could see is a small, oval shadow. ""HA! HA! HA!" The thing laughed again. "Mr. Krabs? Is that you?" SpongeBob said nervously. "NO! HA! HA! HA! HA!" The thing answered. "W-WHO A-ARE YOU?!? W-WHY ARE YOU HERE?!? SHOW Y-YOUR-YOURSELF!" SpongeBob yelled still nervous.

       He bravely walked towards the shadow… "HA! Ha! HA! HA! HA! HA!" SpongeBob suddenly howled with laughter. "Hey! I'm suppose to laugh!" The thing said. "You almost got me goin' there Plankton!" SpongeBob said still giggling. Plankton! Of course! The only thing that SpongeBob only knew that was green, small, and shaped like an oval had to be Plankton!

Plankton was a small, greenish little oval with only one eye and eyebrow and had a long antennae  that always wanted to steal the *COUGH!*'famous' Krabby Patty recipe.

         "Hey! Where's Mr. Krab?" SpongeBob asked. "Oh, he's outside eating." "Why?" SpongBob asked. "Oh, I uhh… was in here ever since last week hiding in the apple over there. Then I would always come out whenever that 'KRABS' comes out-er-no that's not it….. I dunno-" Plankton said looking down and sctaching his head.

         Suddenly the door swung open and an old red crab entered.

He had a blue shirt and pants and red pointy claws swining whenever he walked. He had a pirate's accent and had triangle-like feet. His black eyes were on two red stalks and his nose was like a dark red squiggly-like worm . "Hey me lad! Why'a here? Ya' suppo- PLANKTON!!" He said looking at SpongeBob then Plankton furiously then back to SpongBob then back to Plankton.

          There was silence.

 It was so quiet that you could hear a pin dropping. "PING!" Suddenly a pin fell down out of nowhere.

          "SPONGEBOB!!!!!!!!" Mr. Krabs ordered. "Y-Yes sir?" SpongeBob bravely asked nervously. "I want to GET out!!" Mr. Krabs said in his maddest voice. "Y-Yes sir."SpongeBob replied. "AN' GET THAT PIN!"

            SpongeBob left the mad crab's office, carrying a tiny silver pin. And as for Mr. Krabbs, he walked towards the door and closed it SHUT! Then he stared at his enemy for about twenty minutes and Plankton stared back.

             SpongeBob, however, was not yet in the kitchen, he was standing on his tippy toes, watching what was going to happen between his boss:Mr. Krabs  and his arch enemy: PLANKTON! 'DUM! DUM! DUM!'

           All he saw was Mr. Krabs standing paralyzed on the green floor squinting his long stalks and saw Plankton still standing on Mr. Krabs' desk. "Their probably gonna stay like that forever!" SpongBob thought. He was about to leave until he heard Mr. Krabs' voice shout, "Plankton. I challenge YOU to a Squirt Duel!" SpongeBob never ever heard of a what-you-call 'Squirt Duel' but then again he could always ask Mr. Krabs later.

            SpongeBob put his face closer to the glass window the door had with excitement. "OH BOY! THIS'LL BE GREAT!!!" He whispered to himself. He saw Mr. Krabs grab 2 large containers full of red ketchup. He turned his head and saw Plankton do the same but this time he grabbed 2 tiny containers full of a sea of yellow mustard.

           "I WONDER WHAT THEIR GOING TO DO!!"SpongeBo said with excitement.

"YOUR GOIN' DOWN BOY!" Mr. Krabs yelled. "WELL WE'LL SEE ABOUT THAT!" Plankton replied.

             "ARRRRRRRR!!!" Mr. Krabs yelled angrily just like a pirate. "HO! HO! HO! MERRY CHRISTMA-ER-HA! HA! HA! HA!" Plankton laughted evilishly,"HA! HA! HA! HA!" he continued.

              They were both squinting their eyes, then….

SQUIRT! Mr. Krabs let out a wave of red lava er-ketchup and hit Plankton's whole body.  "HA! YA' WON' SURVIVE!" Mr. Krab's yelled to his opponent with a big grin on his face.

              Then….

SQUIRT! Plankton made a tiny splash of yellow mustard and hit Mr. Krabs' nose.

Now both were squinting their eyes looking for a good target to hit with their ammo.

               Their eye's where so squinted that it looked like they were both asleep!

Plankton made his first move with a loud SPLASH! And missed Mr. Krabs and the mustard landed in front of Mr. Krabs.

               "HA! YOU CAN NEVER HIT THE OL' MR. KRABS!!" Mr. Krabs yelled happily with an even larger grin on his face. "OH YEAH???!!!!" Plankton said, "YEAH!!!!" Mr. Krabs was now giggling.

                SQUIRT!

Another sea of yellow mustard flew into the air and hit Mr. Krabs on the face!

"AHHHH!!!"He yelled, waving his claws everywhere. "AHHHHH!! IT BURNS!! IT BURNS!" He continued. "HA! HA! HA! HA!" Plankton howled with laughter, and fell onto the desk.

                SQUIRT!

"OWWWWWW!!"

SQUIRT!! Flew a wave of ketchup.

SQUIRT!! Flew a sea of yellow mustard.

    SQUIRT!

              SQUIRT!

                          SQUIRT!

                                    SQUIRT!

      The Squirting Duel kept on going for three hours! The whole kitchen was filled with red ketchup and yellow mustard.

   SQUIRT!

The last squirt! Plankton's squirt. Mr. Krabs dived behind a table that had fallen during the duel.

      "YOUR OUT KRABS!!" Plankton yelled all the way across the room. "NO MORE KETCHUP FOR YOU!!!" Plankton yelled all the way across the room, "BOTH YOUR CONTAINERS ARE OUT KRABS!! FACE IT!! IT'S A TIE!!!"

"YOUR AL' OUT TO PLANKTON!!!"Mr. Krabs crawled out of his hiding place and stood up.

        "IS' A TIE!"

"WOW!!!" SpongeBob said with a huge smile on his face. Once the talking was over, Mr. Krabs grabbed his towel that was lying on the chair.

"Oh No! Mr. Krabs is comin' back…" But it was too late. The door swung open furiously and out walked a yellowish reddish, angry crab.

         SpongeBob fell to the ground with a THUD! "Huh? O' SpongBob! Watcha doin' on the ground like that??" Mr. Krabs asked looking suspiciously at his employee.

          "Oh-uhh….just cleaning the beautiful green floor!" SpongBob lied as he pretended to clean the floor. "Right!" Mr. Krabs said still look suspicious at SpongBob,"Keep up the good work me lad!"

            It was night time. SpongeBob said good-bye to Mr. Krabs. Squidward had already left. "Good night me lad! Get a good night sleep cause it's inspection time tamorrow!" Mr. Krabs reminded SpongeBob as he faded away on the dark ocean.

           As SpongeBob said, he would stop back at Patrick's rock. He opened the rock quietly and saw that Puny Pat was now sleeping on the ground. Patrick was not sceaming anymore. Suddenly Puny Pat woke up and saw SpongeBob. "He woke up while you were at work. Said he had a nightmare." Puny Pat said. "Oh, ok. Good night!" SpongeBob replied with a smile and ran to his pineapple.

         SpongeBob got itto his pj's and went fast asleep. SmallBob and Gary was now snoring.

         One thing SpongeBob learned at work was that: always run away when someone is coming.
