Chapter 8

Spongebob was lying on his bed in his cell, utterly bored. Mostly when he was alone, he would think about Squarepants and how he would get around the city without people mistaking him for Spongebob. Spongebob rolled over. He tried and tried, but he couldn't think of a way, so he just gave up. It was 24 hours since Patrick's visit. Ever since he left, Spongebob vowed that he would figure out as much as Squarepant's plan as possible. He already knew most of it, but he still didn't know what Squarepants was doing now. Spongebob stared at the mirror. "How can you hide who you are?" he thought. "A disguise! But who would he disguise into? Maybe someone else he wants to frame? But I'm his only enemy in Bikini Bottom…" Spongebob's thinking got cut off by some noises coming from his left jail wall. "What's that?" he said out loud. It sounded like voices. Then Spongebob noticed that there was a small hole in the wall. "A peephole!" he exclaimed. He jumped off of his bed, and examined the hole. He peered into the other room. There were three wardens standing inside. The room looked like some sort of lounge.

"I'm bored!" complained one of the wards. "Turn on the T.V.!" A different ward reached for a remote and a small T.V. turned on.

"The Squirrel Honour Award has been awarded to our very own Sandy Cheeks," announced the T.V.

"I don't know what to say!" exclaimed Sandy. "I can't wait to go to Texas for the awardin' ceremony!"

"The squirrel will be gone for a week and…" but then the T.V. turned off.

"Boring!" said one of the wards. "Nothing good is ever on!" Spongebob sat back down on his bed. He wasn't interested in what the wards had to say. He laid back down on his bed and closed his eyes. It was getting late, and Spongebob was too depressed to stay awake. Slowly, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

It was two days later, and Spongebob was soaking in a deep depression. His days were filled with despair, and his nights were filled with dread. He tried over and over to think of what Sqaurepants might be doing. He even looked into the peephole, in case something came up on the T.V. Nothing ever came. He was staring at the mirror which hung on the wall from across his bed, when a voice rang out from across the hall.

"Hey, Squarepants! You have visitors!" the ward escorted Patrick and Sandy to Spongebob's jail cell. Spongebob was about to say hi when something occurred to him. Patrick and Sandy? Sandy was supposed to be in Texas because of that award.

"Aww, Spongebob, I've been so lonely lately because…" started Patrick. He was rambling, but Spongebob didn't listen. Instead he was staring at Sandy. The flower that was usually on her helmet wasn't there, and instead of having the usual picture of an acorn on her suit, it was just a yellow patch. Very faintly, Spongebob could hear her say,

"How do you like misery, Spongebob?" It was then that he knew. Spongebob gave a yell of rage and reached through the jail bars and started ripping up Sandy's suit. Patrick and the warden were paralyzed by Spongebob's sudden outburst. After Sandy pulled away, there were many tares in her suit. Through the tares, Spongebob could see patches of yellow skin. Before the warden could react, Spongebob swiped his keys, and opened his jail cell door. He then tossed the keys aside, and fought with Sandy. The two fighters made a cloud of dust which hid them from the warden and Patrick. When the dust settled, two very peeved sponges were staring at each other. They looked identical. A pile of ripped cloth and shards of glass were in a heap on the ground.

"What the?" questioned the warden and Patrick together.

"Patrick!" said one of the sponges. "This guy is and imposture! Lock him up!"

"No I'm not!" replied the other sponge. "You're the one who copied me!"

"Are you nuts? Patrick can clearly see that the real Spongebob is me!"

"Patrick and I have been friends ever since we were babies!"

"Patrick and I have been best friends ever since we were babies!"

"No you weren't!"

"Yes we were!"

"No you weren't!"

"Yes we were!"

"Quite!" screamed Patrick. Both sponges froze at Patrick's outburst. The warden was still standing shocked at what had happened in the last few minutes.

"Hmmm…" said Patrick, rubbing his chin with his hand. He examined both sponges for several minutes. The one on the right looked exactly like the one on the left. Except for one thing. Many people don't know this, but Spongebob has a certain pattern to his holes. There are two holes in every corner of his face, except on his upper right corner. Patrick examined the first sponge. He had two holes in every corner, except the upper right. Patrick looked at the second sponge. There were two holes in every corner except the upper left. Patrick froze. The upper left? "That's the imposture!" Patrick pointed to the sponge with the one hole in the upper left. Spongebob cheered. Squarepants cried out in frustration. The warden finally snapped out of his trance. He cuffed Squarepants and threw him in Spongebob's old cell. He picked up his keys, and locked the door.

"Since I'm not entirely sure of this," the warden said. "We'll have a trial tomorrow." Squarepants took the mirror from the cell wall, and smashed it into tiny shards. Spongebob and Patrick cheered. The chaos was finally over.

EPILOUGE

Squarepants sat on his cell bed. Earlier that day he had the trial and lost. Spongebob was probably celebrating with his friends. The squirrel had returned from Texas and was glad to hear the news. Squarepants was anything but glad. He was moping when he heard a familiar voice.

"Squarepants…buzz…you…there?" buzzed the voice. Squarepants looked at the ground. The shards were still there. Squarepants could see Star on the other side. Immediately he jumped to his feet. "Opening…portal," buzzed Star. Apparently the transmission was bad because the mirror was shattered. Squarepants saw the portal. He tried to enter, but the shards were too small. He cursed through his rage. In the end, he brought misery upon himself.

The End
