Chapter Two:

The Freaks and I

As SpongeBob slept peacefully that night, something strange or more like 'strangers,' suddenly appeared in his dark, and sort of empty, living room. The two strange creatures looked around themselves slowly with shocked expressions.

"Ed…" said an older girl to her little brother, "Where the heck are we?"

Ed, The younger kid, squinted his eyes in the darkness to try to see the surroundings better. "I don't know, but I can see a little bit; and this place looks very strange."

The older girl had her hands our in front of her as she walked slowly around the living to try to find some sort of light switch.

"Wherever we are, it must have some sort of light source," said the girl.

As the girl wandered around SpongeBob's living, she accidentally crashed into his table and knocked over a lamp shaped like a clam. The girl, and her little brother hesitated as to what to do, but before they could react, they heard someone not that faraway hurriedly come down some stairs.

The two creatures gasped as SpongeBob quickly flicked a light on to light up the living room. SpongeBob's jaw nearly dropped when he saw the creatures. The first one he starred at for awhile was the younger boy Ed. From which SpongeBob saw, the boy had brown hair and light brown eyes, and the skin was the color peach, not green or even blue!

Then SpongeBob's eyes shifted to the older girl, who had brown hair like her brother's, but she also had black hair too. Instead of brown eyes, she had dark green eyes that starred coldly into SpongeBob's.

The younger boy turned to his sister and asked, "Are we dreaming?"

"There's no way we can have the exact same dream, at the same exact same time, Ed," said the girl in a monotone voice, but then she said to herself quietly, "If this isn't a dream though, than how in the heck did we end up in this cartoon?"

"You're not dreaming!" Said SpongeBob happily, as he ran up to the two creatures and hugged them tightly, but the girl shoved him away quickly.

"Get off me!" She said angrily, and then she crossed her arms.

Ed looked at his sister and then back at SpongeBob, still being hugged by him. "If we're not dreaming, then "

"You're my wish come true!" Said SpongeBob excitedly, "You're my new alien friends; and we're going to be the bestest buddies EVER!"

"ALIENS!" Said Ed and the girl in unison, and then Ed wiggled his way out of SpongeBob's hug.

"We're not aliens!" Said the girl angrily, "We're humans!"

SpongeBob looked confused, "What's a human? Is that some fancy word for 'waste dump?'"

"No! That's what we are!" Said the girl even more angrily and impatiently.

"You mean you're waste dump?" Asked SpongeBob, who looked even more confused.

"No, that's what we we…"

With all the excitement and anger that the girl was facing at the moment, she suddenly started to feel very light headed and dizzy, and a few seconds later she fell to the ground unconscious.

SpongeBob starred at the girl for awhile and then at Ed. "Uh… 'we-we?'"

"Don't ask," said the boy.

When The Morning Came…

The girl had woken up from her unconsciousness, and realized that she wasn't lying on the floor anymore, but is now on SpongeBob's oddly shaped couch. As she sat up, she saw that her brother was standing next right to her.

"Finally you're up!" Said the boy, "SpongeBob kept asking me all kinds of questions about us, but I didn't want to say anything until you woke up."

"Wha…?" Said the girl, and then she saw SpongeBob coming toward the two.

"You know what, for that split second I was like, 'Oh thank gosh, I'm just dreaming!' but then I see SpongeBob coming, and now I'm like, 'Oh great, I'm not dreaming.'" Said the girl disappointingly.

"Bet you had a good night's sleep here, huh alien?" Said SpongeBob to the girl.

The girl looked around herself and replied, "No, not really."

SpongeBob then put on a very wide smile, "Since you're finally awake, can I ask you a million questions now!"

"You definitely ain't asking a million questions!" Said the girl a little irritated, "But you can still ask some questions."

"Okay… first off, what are you're alien names!"

The girl got off the couch and stood beside her brother, and she gestured her hand to him and than herself, "The kid next to me is my little brother Adam "

"Eddie!" Said the boy very angrily.

"Okay… anyways, this kid is Eddie, and my name is Kyle."

"Isn't Kyle a boy's name?" Asked SpongeBob.

"Please don't go there," said Kyle depressingly, "It's just to painful."

All three people were quiet for a moment before SpongeBob started talking again, "Okay, where did you guys come from?"

Kyle pointed upwards. "We come from the 'surface world.'" She said oddly, "And we're not aliens."

SpongeBob gasped. "The surface! Then how come you're breathing down here!" He asked excitedly.

Kyle shrugged, "I don't know, but we are," she said, "And whatever you did to bring us here, we really like to go back home now!"

SpongeBob started to look sad, "But you can't go home now, you just got here! I want all my friends to meet you!"

Eddie than tugged on Kyle's arm, "Come on Kyle! I want to stay here for awhile!"

Kyle pulled her arm away and grunted angrily, "Fine! We'll stay here for awhile, but will you promise to take us home after that!"

SpongeBob smiled. "Promise kept, but even if you wanted to go home, you couldn't without us."

Kyle and Eddie looked at each other confusingly, than Kyle sighed and clapped her hands together, "Okay, so what should we do now?"

"I'm going to call Patrick, so he can come over here to meet ya before we show everyone you guys!" Said SpongeBob excitedly as he rushed to his phone.

As he dialed Patrick's number into the phone, Eddie went over to SpongeBob's TV and turned it on. On the TV screen, Eddie could see Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy chasing down Man-Ray and the Dirty Bubble. Kyle went over to him to see what he was watching.

"I think that show is so stupid," Said Kyle grumpily.

"What are you talking about! Mermaid and Barnacle Boy is the best show on TV!" Said SpongeBob happily.

Kyle turned around to see SpongeBob standing right behind them with that goofy smile on his face.

"It's the only thing on TV!" Said Eddie sarcastically as he tried to change the channel, but couldn't.

Kyle noticed that SpongeBob just kept starring at her oddly, so she rolled her eyes, crossed her arms, and starred right into SpongeBob's eyes with her own cold ones.

"Why are you starring at me like that!" She asked testily.

"I've been wondering… why is there black marker around your eyes?" Asked SpongeBob pointing to her eyes.

"It's not marker, it's make-up," said Kyle quietly.

"What's make-up?" SpongeBob asked raising an eyelid, "Is that another word for waste dump?"

"Are you that stupid?" Said Kyle to SpongeBob.

"Are you kidding? I have an I.Q. of thirty; I'm smart!" Said SpongeBob proudly.

"Uh… sure, whatever," shrugged Kyle, and at that moment, the three heard the doorbell ring. SpongeBob jumped excitedly and rushed to the door to greet whoever was on the other side, which was Patrick… right?

"I never knew cartoons had a mind of their own," whispered Kyle to Eddie.

"Um… what?" Said Eddie confused.

"What I mean is, that I didn't know that cartoons could do stuff like this! You know, taking us away from our house and dragging us into their crazy world?"

"I like it here," said Eddie, "It's better here than being home bored."

Kyle sighed, "Yeah I guess."

SpongeBob then walked back to the two with Patrick walking right along side of him. SpongeBob stopped in front of them and gestured his hand to them.

"These are the aliens Patrick! The ones I've told you about over the phone! Aren't they cool looking!" Squealed SpongeBob.

Patrick starred at the two humans hard.

"I'm Eddie," said Eddie, "I think you're the best Patrick!"

Eddie and Patrick started to jump in place happily.

"Ha ha! This alien is great SpongeBob!" Said Patrick happily, but when he turned to Kyle, he had a shocked and frightened look on his face. Kyle sighed and crossed her arms.

"Oh no, here we go," sighed Kyle, as she looked away from Patrick.

"I don't like this one SpongeBob, she's scary looking," Patrick said nervously, "She has black marker around her eyes!"

"I know. Maybe it's Halloween on her planet or something," Said SpongeBob.

"Oh, and by the way, my name is Kyle," said Kyle.

"Even her name is scary!" Said Patrick, "Why is her name a boys!" He cried.

"This is one freaky alien," said SpongeBob, but then he looked at his watch and gasped. "Oh my gosh! It's getting late! We better leave now or I'll never get through the day showing you guys to all my friends!"

Kyle and Eddie looked up at one of SpongeBob's wall clocks and saw that is was only 7 o'clock in the morning!

"It's only 7 in the morning," said Kyle.

"I know, it's late! We better get moving!" Said SpongeBob, and then he grabbed Kyle and Eddie's hands and wouldn't let go.

He dragged Kyle and Eddie to his door, with Patrick following along behind. When they got to the door, Patrick opened it up and SpongeBob held onto the two humans' hands as they all turned right and headed for Squidward's house.

"First stop: Squidward's house!" Said SpongeBob happily.

"Yeah!" Cried Patrick.

"Woo-hoo!" Cried Eddie.

"Oh boy," said Kyle sarcastically.

"Squidward is one of our best friends!" Said SpongeBob.

"What are you talking about, Squidward hates you and Patrick," said Kyle in that 'I don't care' tone of voice.

"And what are you talking about!" Said SpongeBob, "Squidward is our bestest buddy in the world!"

"'Bestest' is not even a word."

"In our ocean it is!" Said SpongeBob happily, and just then they all stopped in front of Squidward's door. SpongeBob finally let go of Kyle and Eddie's hands.

SpongeBob knocked on the door for about five minutes before Squidward finally answered it. He looked awfully grumpy as usual.

"Do you mind, SpongeBob!" Complained Squidward as he rubbed his eyes, "It's not even 8 o'clock in the morning! Why are you here with…"

Then Squidward looked oddly at Kyle and Eddie.

"… These weirdoes?"

SpongeBob pointed to Kyle and Eddie as he said happily, "I just want you to meet my new alien friends: Kyle and Eddie."

"We're not aliens!" Kyle said angrily, "and we never said anything about being your friends."

"Who would want to be?" said Squidward crossing his arms, and then he got a better look at the two humans. "I'm guessing that this little shrimp here is Eddie then?" Asked Squidward, looking at Eddie.

"Uh… what's a shrimp?" Eddie said confused.

"And what's with this girl wearing black marker all around her eyes?" Squidward asked, pointing to Kyle's eyes.

"I'm through trying to explain that," said Kyle irritably.

"I think it's Halloween on her planet," replied SpongeBob.

Kyle rolled her eyes and crossed her arms.

"Are we through here?" Said Squidward.

"Don't you think they're the coolest aliens?" SpongeBob asked happily.

"I think they're the freakiest things I've ever seen!" Squidward said sarcastically, "And now I would like to go back to my beauty sleep if that's alright with you!" And then Squidward slammed the door in their faces.

"Actually, it wasn't alright, but anyways," SpongeBob said happily, and then he grabbed Kyle and Eddie's hands again. "It's time to visit our other friend Mr. Krabs!"

"What about Sandy?" Eddie asked.

"Sandy's still 'hibernating' right now, so maybe another time," said SpongeBob.

"Hopefully, there won't be another time!" Kyle said sternly, and then SpongeBob started to drag them toward the Krusty Krab, with Patrick following along like before.

"Mr. Krabs is one of my best buddies too!" SpongeBob said happily.

"How many 'best buddies' do you have anyway?" Kyle asked.

"I have 3,568,123!"

"Holy crap! And they are…"

"Oh, there's Gary, my books, my TV, Patrick, Sandy…"

And SpongeBob just kept going on, and on, and on, and on… but when they all got closer to the Krusty Krab…

"… my toothbrush, my toilet brush, my poo "

"Okay! That's enough!" Said Kyle.

Patrick pointed to the Chum Bucket, which was right across from the Krusty Krab. "Hey SpongeBob! What about Plankton?"

"Oh my gosh, that's right! Plankton! I almost forgot about him!" SpongeBob said shockingly, and then he started to head there instead of the Krusty Krab.

"You're kidding right?" Said Kyle nervously. "Please don't take us their, Plankton is evil you know!"

"Oh, no he's not!" Said SpongeBob happily, "He's a good friend of mine too!.

Kyle and Eddie groaned as SpongeBob let go of their hands and started to knock on the doors to the Chum Bucket.

"You need to quit holding our hands before I beat you!" Kyle said angrily to SpongeBob, as she rubbed her wrists.

"I like holding SpongeBob's hand," said Eddie oddly.

"What!"

"Nothing."

"Plankton, are you in there!" Called out SpongeBob as he banged on the door furiously.

"We shouldn't be here," Kyle whispered to Eddie.

"Why not?" Asked Eddie.

"What if Plankton starts to get ideas about using us in his evil plans, or even his experiments?"

"Oh yeah…" said Eddie quietly.

About a couple minutes later, Plankton angrily swung the door open, and looked up at SpongeBob so angrily, that it looked like Plankton's one eyeball was about to pop out of his jellybean body.

"WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME!" He screamed at SpongeBob. "I'm busy right now; busy with plans that will allow me to STEAL THE KRABBY PATTY FORMULA!"

"Hey Plankton! You have to meet our alien friends!" Said Patrick happily, ignoring what Plankton had just said, "They're so freaking looking!"

"Aliens?" Plankton said slowly and curiously, raising his one eyebrow.

Patrick pushed the two humans closer to Plankton.

"Plankton looked a lot bigger on TV," said Eddie to Kyle.

"Plankton, this is Kyle…," SpongeBob gestured to Kyle, and then to Eddie, "And this little alien is Eddie."

Plankton smiled evilly at Eddie, and that just made the little boy nervous. "I'm Plankton of the Chum Bucket, and if you want, you can always come inside and buy something from me!"

Kyle shook her head and waved her hands, "That's okay, we… uh, just ate."

"No we didn't!" Said Patrick angrily, "I haven't eaten since lunch time!"

"You didn't eat anything for lunch, Patrick," said SpongeBob.

"I don't think it's even lunch time," said Eddie.

"Yes I did eat something! I ate my invisible donuts!"

"Uh… okay," said Kyle oddly, "Patrick has definitely lost it."

"Yes, I agree," said Plankton grumpily, but when he looked up at Kyle, his eyes grew wide. Kyle found this very weird.

Plankton spit into his stubby little hands, and slicked back his antennas. "Hell-o, my name is Plankton, cutie."

Kyle looked at Eddie nervously and asked, "He's talking to you, right?"

"Nooo, I'm talking to you!" Said Plankton, pointing up at Kyle.

"Wow," Eddie said to Kyle, "No one has ever called you cute before."

"If I wasn't married to my computer wife, Karen, I would marry you in a heartbeat; and together, we would TAKE OVER THE WORLD!" And then Plankton began to laugh manically.

Everyone just starred down at Plankton, but then SpongeBob said, "Well, good luck with that, but my alien friends here still need to meet Mr. Krabs. See ya later, Plankton!"

"We're not aliens!" Said Kyle and Eddie in unison.

As SpongeBob, Patrick, Kyle, and Eddie started to walk away from Plankton and the Chum Bucket, the little jellybean thing quickly ran out in front of them all.

"Wait! Is that human girl… for sale?" Plankton asked slowly.

"What! I ain't for sale!" Kyle said angrily, and then she walked away from the Chum Bucket, but not before saying, "And I never will be!"

Before SpongeBob, Patrick, and Eddie followed her, Plankton said, "If you ever want to get rid of her, I'll be happy to take her in!"

Eddie looked at Plankton angrily, while SpongeBob shook his head saying, "I'm not selling my friends, Plankton! That's mean!"

"Of course it's mean, you dope!" Said Plankton, "But human kids are perfect for my new evil plans that I'm… planning at this moment!"

"Well… find some other aliens," said SpongeBob, and then he walked away from the Chum Bucket and to the Krusty Krab, where Kyle was standing by the doors impatiently. Patrick and Eddie followed behind.

Plankton screamed something, but no one could hear him clearly anyway.

"That took you long enough," said Kyle impatiently, as the three boys finally reached the Krusty Krab.

"Are you two aliens ready to meet Mr. Krabs?" Said SpongeBob excitedly.

"Yeah!" Cried Eddie happily, "Bring him on!"

Kyle shrugged, "I guess."

SpongeBob rushed into the Krusty Krab with the rest walking in slowly. Everyone saw Mr. Krabs behind the cash register counting the money inside.

"MR. KRABS!" SpongeBob yelled.

Mr. Krabs jumped in surprised, and as he did, he dropped all the change that he had in his claws. Mr. Krabs angrily went out from behind the register and confronted SpongeBob.

"SpongeBob! I hope you realize this is coming out of yer paycheck; you made me drop all me register change!" Said Mr. Krabs angrily.

SpongeBob's eyes became wide with innocence and sadness, "I'm sorry Mr. Krabs," said SpongeBob apologetically, "But I just wanted you to meet our new friends."

"The aliens!" Said Patrick.

Mr. Krabs raised in eyelid in curiosity and said slowly, "Aliens?"

SpongeBob and Patrick pushed the two kids out in front of them so Mr. Krabs could get a good look at them. Mr. Krabs scurried a little closer to the children and eyed them hard.

"Where the heck did you get kids like these?" Mr. Krabs asked as he looked at Eddie carefully.

"They came from our wish with Patrick's magic, black box," replied SpongeBob happily.

"Magic, black box?" Said Mr. Krabs, Kyle and Eddie in confused unison.

"Yeah! I have this magic, black box that grants wishes! You take the box and make a wish, and put a crumbled piece of paper inside, say the magic words, and WAH-MOO! You get your wish!" Said Patrick.

Mr. Krabs just starred at Patrick as if he was very stupid, which he already was. "Uh… okay," said Mr. Krabs slowly, and then he eyed Kyle, "Maybe they came from a radiated waste dump."

Kyle sighed and crossed her arms.

"I've never seen, in all my years, alien creatures that looked like this!" Said Mr. Krabs shockingly.

"How do you even know what an alien creature even looks like?" Said Kyle rudely.

"Whatever they look like, they must be looking like you kids," said Mr. Krabs, and then his eyes lighted up with an idea.

Mr. Krabs turned to SpongeBob smiling, and asked, "Have you ever thought about selling these here aliens to the Black Market in town?"

SpongeBob and Patrick gasped loudly at Mr. Krabs' ridiculous idea.

"We would never think about doing that!" Said SpongeBob, "They're our friends!"

"But just think about all the money you can get, me boy! I bet these two put together are worth about… 400 or even 500 dollars!" Said Mr. Krabs.

Kyle and Eddie looked at each other nervously, and then back at Mr. Krabs. SpongeBob and Patrick shook their heads.

"They're not for sale," said SpongeBob sternly, "Not as long as they're with me."

"With you or not, we're not for sale anyway!" Said Kyle, looking at SpongeBob to Mr. Krabs, "So you can forget the idea, dude."

Mr. Krabs sighed and scratched his head. "Suit yourselves," he said calmly, "But anyways, would any of you alien freaks like to buy yourselves a Krabby Patty?"

"Yeah!" Cried Eddie happily.

Mr. Krabs turned around and scurried into the kitchen and quickly came back out with two warm Krabby Patties for Kyle and Eddie.

Before he gave the two each a Krabby Patty, he asked, "You got any money?"

Kyle shook her head, "No."

"Then get lost, you losers!" Said Mr. Krabs, and then he walked away in the opposite direction to put the Krabby Patties back in the kitchen.

Everyone just starred until SpongeBob said, "Well, no use staying in here! It's almost bedtime you know! I want a good nights rest for tomorrow, so you two aliens can meet more of my friends!"

As everyone (except Mr. Krabs) left the Krusty Krab, Kyle looked at SpongeBob and said, "I thought we get to go home after meeting your friends."

"I said when you meet all my friends," said SpongeBob, "I promise though, that if you don't meet all of them tomorrow, you can go home anyway."

Kyle sighed and replied quietly, "Alright."

SpongeBob and Patrick jumped in place in happiness, and then the four all started to head for their homes, but Kyle and Eddie had to sleepover at SpongeBob's place though. On the way home, all SpongeBob and Patrick talked about was how cool Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy were, and what episodes they liked the best, which was basically all 569 of them!

When they got closer to SpongeBob's house, Patrick said his good-byes and went under his rock to go to bed, while the other three went inside SpongeBob's house. As they went inside, Kyle looked up at the wall clock and saw that it was only 6 o' clock in the evening!

Kyle turned to SpongeBob and asked slowly, "You said that it was almost time for bed, right?"

"Yeah, getting late," Said SpongeBob."

"But it's only 6 o'clock!" Said Eddie, "It's too early!"

"We need to get up early if we're going to meet all my friends!"

"You're not talking about your toilet brush and your books, are you?" Asked Kyle nervously.

SpongeBob smiled and rolled his eyes at Kyle, "Oh, no I'm not! I mean all my other friends in town!"

Kyle and Eddie sighed at his answer. SpongeBob did his strange laughter and then started to head upstairs to go to bed.

"Wait a minute, what about us! I'm hungry!" Said Eddie angrily, "What are we supposed to do!"

SpongeBob turned around and shrugged happily, "Just go to bed, and we'll all eat in the morning!" Well, good-night my alien friends!"

As SpongeBob went into his room and shut the door, Kyle and Eddie looked at each other with confused expressions on their faces.

"Where are we supposed to sleep?" Asked Eddie, looking around the almost bare living room.

"Well, I guess you'll have to sleep on the couch while I sleep on that weird lounge chair across from it," said Kyle, as she gestured to the couch and than the lounge chair.

As Eddie laid on the couch and Kyle went over and relaxed in the lounge chair, Eddie said, "SpongeBob better feed us in the morning, with food; real food."

"Probably fish food," Said Kyle disgustingly, and then the two kids shivered at the idea of SpongeBob feeding them that.

Around Midnight…

While SpongeBob slept quietly and peacefully in his bed, and while the two kids slept uncomfortably in SpongeBob's living room, someone was right outside the house trying to break in! The perpetrator took a lock pick from out of his pocket and picked the lock to the door. When the lock clicked open, the perpetrator very slowly opened the door as to not make any noise.

With the door still open, the perpetrator tiptoed on over to Eddie and brought out masking tape and rope. Very quickly, the perpetrator used masking tape on Eddie's mouth and quickly tied the poor kids arms and legs. Poor Eddie didn't have time to react when all of this happened, because it all happened so fast!

As Eddie squirmed around on the couch, the perpetrator went on over to Kyle and did the same. When Kyle was all tied up, the perpetrator grabbed the two by the arms and dragged them out the door. When the kids looked up at the perpetrator's face, they weren't all surprised that the kidnapper… was Mr. Krabs.
