READER'S HINT! Hi! This is my first reader's hint. My reader's hints are when I tell you about my stories yet to come and what I plan for the future. I hope you readers out there like my stories, because there are plenty more to come. The titles of my expected stories are 'Sponge Kenny', 'Living Big', 'Return Address: None' and 'Spongebob and the Goddess'. Sponge Kenny is a fanfic of when Tom Kenny and Spongebob meet! I'm not sure if I should add Bill Faggerbakke or Roger Bumpass. Please review and tell me if it should or not. Another idea is 'Spongebob and the Goddess'. Spongebob and the Goddess is a tale of when Spongebob meets an underwater Goddess. They quickly become friends, but Plankton steels her power. Will Spongebob be able to save the Goddess? My last ides is 'Living Big'. This story is about Squidward. He finally gets a chance to own a five-star restaurant. Instead of screwing up like last time, he succeeds! However, with his new restaurant being such a success, he starts to put the Krusty Krab out of business! Will he close down and let the Krusty Krab live? Or will he keep his restaurant open to live out his life-long dream? My latest idea is 'Return Address: None'. It is rated K+ for mild murder. Don't worry! It's still a super good story! Return Address: None is a fanfic about Spongebob. He is still living life happily untill he gets a letter forcing him to move out of Bikini Bottom. Spongebob moves, but apparently that's not good enough for the stalker…Those are the only good ideas for stories I have so far. I might also have a Christmas special for Christmas of 2005. IF YOU REVIEW, TELL ME WHICH STORY YOU WANT ME TO POST FIRST! I'm going to take the story that gets the most votes, and then write it. If you don't review, then I won't know which story to post first. PLEASE review and tell me which one you want first.

Chapter 3

Spongebob started to stroll around town. Unfortunately, for him, it was still raining, which meant that no one was out in the streets. He walked around town for about 45 minutes when he decided to take some shelter.

"I'm getting soaked," he thought. "and hungry. Maybe I should stop and grab a bite at the Krusty Krab. Spongebob started to walk towards the Krusty Krab. Soon he broke out in a jog. The rain was coming down harder than ever. He wished he had a jacket. All he was wearing was his square pants and shoes. When he opened the doors the warm and sheltered air was very welcoming. However something about this air was different. It had a stale and old sensation. Like the building was deserted for years. He then realized there were no customers. Spongebob looked at the clock that hung on the wall. The numbers were reversed and the hands were moving counter-clockwise. However, this didn't surprise Spongebob. After what had happened ever since he entered Mottob Inikib, the appearance of the clock was a very mild surprise. Spongebob eventually figured out how to read it. "Twelve o' clock," said Spongebob. That was busy hour. Why would the Krusty Krab be totally empty? "Hello!" said Spongebob. Nobody. No one was even at the cash register. "Something is weird about this," said Spongebob. The he heard a voice.

"Oh no," said the voice. Spongebob could hear right away that it was Mr. Krabs. Spongebob walked up to the door. He slightly tapped on it with his knuckles. "Who's there?" asked Mr. Krabs. Spongebob opened the door. "Squarepants? What are you doing here?" questioned Mr. Krabs.

"Uhh…" started Spongebob. He wasn't sure how he should explain his situation to the crustacean . After all, it's not ever day that someone comes up to you and says he's from another world. "I know you won't believe me, Mr. Krabs, but,"

"Mr. Krabs?" asked Mr. Krabs who cut Spongebob off. "My name isn't Mr. Krabs. It's Mr. Eugene. Krabs is my first name, but shouldn't you know that?" asked Mr. Eugene.

"Well, you see, that's the thing, sir," stuttered Spongebob. I'm not Spongebob, I come from a place called Bikini Bottom and…"

"Wait, let me guess," said Mr. Eugene. "You came here through a mirror." Spongebob was completely flabbergasted at Mr. Eugene's guess.

"How," started Spongebob. "How did you know?"

"Take a look into my mirror," replied Mr. Eugene. He pointed to a mirror that was hanging on his wall. Spongebob looked at the mirror.

"Oh my gosh!" exclaimed Spongebob. He thought that just the puddle was different. Apparently he thought wrong. In the mirror there was a picture of Mr. Krabs.

"Money, money, money," chanted Mr. Krabs. He was sitting at his desk smelling some twenty dollar bills.

"So that's where you came from?" asked Mr. Eugene.

"Ye…yes," stuttered Spongebob. "Do you know why all of the mirrors are like this?"

"Your guess is as good as mine," replied Mr. Eugene.

"Tartar sauce!" said Spongebob.

"If you ever want to return to your hometown," said Mr. Eugene. "Then you should learn as much as you can about Mottob Inikib. I'll fill you in over a Patty Krabby."

"Thanks!" exclaimed Spongebob. "I'm famished!"

Spongebob and Mr. Eugene talked for hours. Mr. Eugene told Spongebob all about Mottob Inikib, and Spongbob told Mr. Eugene all about Bikini Bottom.

"Mr. Eugene," said Spongebob in-between bites of his Patty Krabby. "If you don't mind me asking, why is the Krusty Krab…"

"Krab Krusty," corrected Mr. Eugene.

"Oh, sorry. Why is the Krab Krusty empty? It seems like there hasn't been a customer here in years.

"Sadly, that's the truth," said Mr. Eugene.

"WHAT!" asked Spongebob. "Why?"

"The Bucket Chum from across the street draws in too many customers. There are never any hungry people left to eat at my restaurant."

"Ohh…" said Spongebob. That made sense, after all everything here was reversed. It was only natural for the Krab Krusty to get no customers. Even though Mr. Eugene was used to the sort of business he got, Spongebob couldn't help but feel sorry for the crustacean. Spongebob and Mr. Eugene talked for a couple more hours.

"Thanks for the Patty Krabby, Mr. Eugene," Spongebob said. He reached into his pocket. "Oh no!" Spongebob exclaimed. I don't have my wallet!"

"Har har har har!" laughed Mr. Eugene. "Don't pay me, this is on the house!" Spongebob was surprised. Mr. Krabs refusing money. Well, technically it wasn't Mr. Krabs, but it was still a sight to see. "Oh!" said Mr. Eugene, remembering something. "Take this." Mr. Eugene handed Spongebob a coat. "It'll keep you dry in the rain." Spongebob looked out the window. Mr. Eugene was right. It was raining harder then ever. Perhaps even more then when Spongebob entered the restaurant.

"Thanks, Mr. Eugene," Spongebob said, rather gratefully.

"I hope you find out how the mirrors got wacky!" called out Mr. Eugene while Spongebob exited the restaurant.

"Me too," replied Spongebob.

Spongebob walked in the rain. Despite the coat, he was still soaked. He needed to find out why the mirrors got the way they were. He looked around. All he could see was black. The rain washed away all of the colours of the earth. Wind started to blow. Spongebob shuddered. He was frozen. Suddenly, he felt something hit him lightly on the head. "What was that?" Spongebob asked himself. He looked down. It was a piece of hail. A large piece of hail. More started to fall. Spongebob found himself numb. "I have to find shelter," said Spongebob. "Very soon."
