NOTE: I don't own Spongebob Squarepants nor any of the restaurants parodied.

NOTE: In the end of the story, I'll reveal to you what the restaurants parody. Some of the restaurants may be in only one city and not anywhere else, which makes it harder, like Sweet Coral.

NOTE: There is going to be a moment from an actual episode here, and I'm not perfect in what is said here, so it's best if you don't criticize me on what I missed or messed up.

Chapter 5 – Now Spongebob needs to get a Job in Two Days

Outside the Krusty Krab, Mr. Krabs was looking at the road for customers who haven't visited ever since Spongebob was fired. Suddenly, a fish came, and he looked hungry.

"You're hungry, so welcome to the KRUSTY KRAB! Please! Come in!" said Mr. Krabs.

"What? With that diabolical squid or that weird and hyper and money loving crab cooking the patties?" asked the fish.

"Hey! Hey! Hey! I'm the weird and hyper and money loving crab! And I say be a customer!" ordered Mr. Krabs, "Before I use these claws besides hand purposes!"

The threat made the fish dash away and go to a restaurant yet safe from Spongebob's bad luck.

"SQUIDWARD! GET ME A SHAKE!" ordered Squidward as Squidward came with the shake.

"Where's the straw?" asked Mr. Krabs as Squidward gave him one, "This is the last straw!"

"Yes it is," agreed Squidward, "We don't have anymore straws in the restaurants, since we don't have that much money anymore. Can I retire? And live playing my clarinet?"

"No, go back in there and cook as best as you can!" ordered Mr. Krabs.

"But…" began Squidward when he saw fire in Mr. Krab's eyes, literally, "Aye, aye sir!"

Then Mr. Krabs began talking to the sky, or the ocean surface, "As Neptune as my witness, I will never go customer less again! But I don't know how to do that."

Soon, the panicky music was playing at fast speed as Spongebob was running as fast as he can to any restaurant he hasn't went to yet, nor destroyed. First, he went to Mountain Mike's Patties. Mountain Mike's Patties was a restaurant shaped like a mountain. Spongebob furiously knocked on the door and a fat looking fish answered.

"Yeah, welcome to Mountain Moke's, I mean Mike's Patties, I'm Moke, Mike's brother, I mean I'm Mike, Moke's brother, who I am not, since I'm definitely not Moke, right Moke, I mean Mike?" asked Moke or Mike.

Just then, another fish, thin and smart-looking, came.

"Moke, are you trying to impersonate me, again, for the thirty-seventh-thousand time? Get lost and get to work!" ordered the real Mike, "So, what can I do for you?" Mike asked Spongebob.

"Can I have a job? I'm a perfect fry cook," said Spongebob.

"Sure! We just opened up our restaurant in Bikini Bottom, and it's great to have an expert fry cook, come on in!" said Mike.

"Hey Mike! Have you read today's newspaper? Really important!" said Moke as he ran to Mike and showed him the newspaper.

Both fishes stood there, reading the newspaper and looking at Spongebob for like, a minute and a half. Then their eyes popped out, literally.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" screamed Mike and Moke as they ran into the building and crashed into each other.

Suddenly, Mountain Mike's Patties began sliding away from Spongebob and it slid away from Bikini Bottom and to the San Francisco Bay for no apparent reason.

"Jeez, what did that newspaper say?" wondered Spongebob when today's newspaper flew and landed on his face, "Oh, what are the chances of that happening? Actually, I find that pretty high."

Then he began reading the newspaper in shock.

MANIACAL SPONGE STRIKES TERROR TO BUSINESSES

Over the last few days, businesses were destroyed, buildings were destroyed, and customers have been hospitalized. Who did this? Why, it's none other than the somewhat hyper, but now more hyper than usual, Spongebob Squarepants, currently unemployed from the Krusty Krab for being absent for a few days and blowing up the Krusty Krab (we had witnesses everywhere). The Patty Prince, Patty Bell, Beach Shack, and the infamous Chum Bucket have been spared as they only fired or not accepted Spongebob into their employee crew. The others have been burnt, blown up, went out of business (especially when we learned Domino Burgers' secret ingredient), or had the prisoners released and endangering other lives (they are still not caught). So this is a word for all businesses, restaurants especially, beware of Spongebob Squarepants!

By Fishy Jones

"Oh man! This Fishy Jones made me unpopular! But still, as Neptune as my witness, I will never be unemployed starting today!" shouted Spongebob as he held up his fist, and then dashed off to different businesses that refused to hire Spongebob.

Soon, he went to Patrick's rock in defeat.

"I think I'll go visit Patrick today, and see if we can play with the ashes of his board game 'The Board Game that takes about 12 Hours!', if we can find them, although they ruined my life," muttered Spongebob as he knocked on the rock.

Patrick didn't answer. Instead, he heard voices inside. So Spongebob knocked harder, and got no answer. Then he heard this.

"So Cousin Mel how was the chili?" asked the muffled voice of Patrick inside his house.

"Well, it was okay, you know, take-out chili isn't the best, but at least it's better than having one with nitroglycerine. I heard that Spongebob Squarepants blew up the fire department with that. By the way, I think he's outside to play with the ashes of that board game you use to have," said another muffled voice.

So Patrick opened the rock.

"Spongebob! Wanna go play something?" asked Patrick.

"Patrick, who were you talking to? I already told you that you don't have a Cousin Mel!" argued Spongebob.

Then a fish who was dressed up like the ice cream fish came out of the hole. He was a pink fish with a professional look on his face, and he was not related to Patrick in any way, besides the color of their skin.

"Oh, I forgot! Everyone calls him Cousin Mel! You know, the Cousin Mel from that one TV show, where he was chugging all of his Cousin Mel Ice Cream," explained Patrick.

"What? Cousin Mel Ice Cream?" asked Spongebob.

"Yeah, it's a new ice cream place, and I'm sure it's a great place for all beginning employees who just entered Employee Land!" said Cousin Mel.

"I remember that day!" said Spongebob as he had a flashback.

FLASHBACK

Spongebob ran into the Krusty Krab after shouting "I'm Ready! Go Spongebob! Go self!". He also saw Squidward, who screamed and ran into the restaurant. Then he saw Squidward talking to Mr. Krabs.

"Permission to come aboard captain!" said Spongebob before talking in a deep voice, "I have been waiting for this moment," and Spongebob began talking in his normal voice, "And now I'm ready!"

Then Spongebob tripped over a loose nail on the floor and began ricocheting all over the restaurant painfully while Squidward and Mr. Krabs watched until Spongebob stopped in front of them.

"So, can I join?" asked Spongebob.

"Well lad, it looks like you don't even have your sea legs," replied Mr. Krabs.

END FLASHBACK, FOR YOU CAN KNOW WHAT HAPPENS BEFORE AND AFTER IN THE EPISODE "HELP WANTED".

"So, wanna become an employee? I heard you're having some trouble getting a job," offered Cousin Mel.

"SURE! YOU JUST SAVED MY LIFE! NOW I CAN STAY IN BIKINI BOTTOM!" shouted Spongebob.

"Yay!" cheered the clueless Patrick.

"Come on, let me take you to Cousin Mel Ice Cream!" said Cousin Mel as he walked away with Spongebob following and Patrick just standing there, clueless until four hours later when he topples over.

That's it for now. But the story will continue. This is just the beginning of the end.
