Author's Note: Hey everybody! I came up with another story. It's when Squidward and Squilliam switch bodies! Details will be given in the next readers hint. Thanks to everyone who reviewed chapter 5! I know the story seems like it's not really headed anywhere, but I can't just make it so the restaurant starts the first day he gets it. That's unrealistic! (Although, talking sea-life is pretty unrealistic altogether). This chapter is pretty boring, but after this chapter, the plot starts to thicken.

tinks-belle85: Lol. I know. 2 chapters in one day. That's got to be a record for me. I think my typing speed is getting better. I tried to make Squidward's restaurant sound as beautiful as possible. In a later chapter you will find out who the hooded stranger is. Thanks for reviewing!

A. Nonymous: Thanks for the restaurant comment. By all means, YES! You may use the storyline for Spongebob and the Goddess. I would like to see how it would be formed into a story. You can use the story line.

flaming-1251: Thanks for the Patrick comment. I won't tell you if you're right or wrong about the hooded stranger. You'll just have to wait and see. Thanks for reviewing!

WoRdLiFeCeNa4: The hooded stranger is a character from the show. I don't like making up characters because I find it lessens the likeness to the show. Thanks for reviewing!

Venusgall00: Thanks for the comment. I don't think it's perfect, but if you like it then I'm happy! Thanks!

Estelle Rabon: Lol. Thanks for the restaurant comment. Don't worry, the identity of the hooded stranger will come up soon enough. NOOO! Call a doctor! Just make sure Imagination doesn't die! Sorry, it's just I was expecting it to be really good. Oh well. As long as you write the sequel, I'm happy. I guess I can wait. Thanks for reviewing!

Kapow: I'm glad you think it's amazing. Thanks for reviewing!

Chapter 6

Squidward woke up to find himself sitting at a table. "What?" he thought out loud. "Where am I?" he looked around. He was inside the restaurant. Then Squidward realized he must have fallen asleep at the table. He checked a star-shaped clock hanging up on the wall. It was eight o' clock. The task for today was to find staff. Squidward rose from the chair. His first thought was to place a help wanted add in the paper, but that could take days to work. He only had one week to make this work. He decided to use fliers. Just like the ones he had used when he made his marching band. (See episode, 'Band Geeks'). He walked out the restaurant and started to make his filers.

By noon everyone in Bikini Bottom had heard about The Shimmering Star. Squidward was holding interviews at one o'clock. He was sitting in his manager's office that Patrick built along with the restaurant. There was also a kitchen and bathrooms, but Squidward hadn't checked them out yet.

Squidward's office was just as beautiful as the dining room. He had a golden desk with many organized drawers in which to store files. There was a bouquet of white roses on the top. The walls were decorated with tasteful pictures of stars, and the wall itself was decorated with the same wallpaper that was used for the dining room. Squidward was sitting in a big, comfy, golden chair, with a silver star design printed on the back. On the other side of the desk was one of the dining chairs. This was reserved for the interviewee. Squidward was wearing a white suit with a golden star printed on the front. There was a small, elegant name tag on the front that read, 'manager' in big, sparkly letters. Patrick had presented this suit to Squidward earlier that morning.

Sqiudward drummed his tentacles impatiently on the desk. He wanted to get this over and done with. He looked at the clock. It was ten minutes to one o'clock. Squidward had nothing to do, but wait.

Ten Minutes Later

Squidward could hear the front doors of the restaurant opening. His fist interviewee. Squidward folded the sheets of paper on his desk into a neat pile. There was a knock at his office door.

"Come in," Squidward said. A blue fish with a white t-shirt and red shorts entered the office.

"Ya," said the fish. "I'd sorta like a job here…"

Squidward rolled his eyes. This fish would need to read a lot of 'How to Become a Fancy Waiter in Less than 20Minutes'.

"I know you want a job here. That a seat."

The fish sat in the dining chair. Squidward handed him a contract to sign. The fish read it over. It said:

I, the undersigned agree to work for Mr. Tentacles. I freely give him my mind…

"My mind?" asked the puzzled fish.

"It's nothing." Squidward said quickly.

…to shape me into a perfect employee. I agree to follow his instructions during work hours.

The fish continued, reading all of the small legal print that nobody enjoys to read or write.

"Don't you need to interview me first?" asked the fish.

"We'll do that later. Just sign if you want to work for me."

The fish gave one more look-over of the contract. He took a pen Squidward handed him and signed his name.

"Good," said Squidward. "Now I need you to read this." Squidward handed the fish 'How to Become a Fancy Waiter in Less than 20 Minutes'. The fish, (still very puzzled) opened the book and began to read. Squidward peered at the clock. It was two minutes after one. He then heard a knock at the office door.

"Please go into the dining room to read," said Squidward to the fish. "I need to interview more people." The fish took his book and walked into the dining room to read. "Come in," called Squidward. This time, a green fish with brown pants stepped into the office.

Squidward did exactly the same thing he did with him than what he did with the other fish. He repeated this process several more times with other sea life.

At one thirty the last fish was interviewed. Squidward waited until one fifty before entering the dining room. He stepped out of the room to discover a whole school of fish and other sea life hunched over their copies of 'How to Become a Fancy Waiter in Less than 20 Minutes'. Everyone looked up from their books. Squidward was taken aback. He saw a ton of VERY stressed out sea life.

"We all need to relax…" he said carefully as if he was talking to an angry dog. All of the fish in the restaurant relaxed a little bit. "Little more…little more…little more…good." By now all of the sea life had relaxed. "Now," said Squidward casually. He knew that this would be the difficult part. "I need you all to empty your minds."

"Empty our minds?" replied the school of fish.

"Empty your minds of everything except breathing, fine dining, and your name."

Everyone gave a blank stare. Squidward didn't want to wait, so he walked into the private dining room and looked at the fish who had a copy of 'How to Become a Fancy Chef in Less than 20 Minutes'. They too, were stressed out. Squidward told them to empty their minds of everything except breathing, fine cooking, and their names.

He then returned to the main dining room. He was astounded to find that all of the fish were dressed in fancy waiter and waitress outfits. He opened the private dining room door and saw the fish were dressed in white outfits, with one of those puffy chefs hats one their heads.

Squidward couldn't believe it. His restaurant was complete! However, he couldn't open today. The supplies he ordered hadn't come in yet.

"You have the rest of the day off!" Squidward announced to the fish. In perfect unison, they all exited the restaurant.

Squidwad was joyful. His restaurant was finished. He would be opening tomorrow. He still couldn't believe it. Squidward spent the rest of his day soaking in his restaurant.

"Yes," said the hooded stranger. "His restaurant is complete. He was able to hire staff. Everything is going according to plan."

(Note: Yes I KNOW that was completely boring, but I felt like I needed to explain how he got staff somehow! Don't worry; the next chapter is going to be SO much better.)
