Author's Note: I hate these stupid exams. Anyway, I hope you enjoy! NOTE: In this story, I say that Spongebob only works for Mr. Krabs part-time. I know that in most shows, Spongebob works an entire day. However, I would not be able to write this story if I followed that rule. That is why I changed it.
Disclaimer: I don't own Spongebob, yadda, yadda, yadda. You can't sue me.
venusgal100: I know Spongebob isn't a dummy! I was just writing from Plankton's point of view. I would never insult our little spongy friend! Thanks for reviewing!
Bladequeen: I have a pretty decent end planned. Thanks for reviewing!
A. Nonymous: I think I have a way how to put your idea in the story. I'll probably put it in chapter 6. Thanks for reviewing!
Flaming-1251: I am SO glad you updated! I like Plankton fics too. Thanks for reviewing!
Chapter 5: The Errands
The next day, Spongebob went to work at the Krusty Krab. He was briefed on how to make a Krabby Patty, and work the kitchen appliances. He soon felt right at home. He knew he was born to do this.
It was the end of the work day and Spongebob was ready to leave. He didn't want to be late for Plankton. (Which he still had yet to tell someone). He put away his spatula and the supplies, and then he started to head towards the Chum Bucket.
Spongebob opened the front door to the Chum Bucket. It was cold and empty inside. "This place could use some re-decorating," thought Spongebob as he made his way across the room. He came to another door and knocked on it slightly.
"Come in!" sang Plankton's voice on the other end. Spongebob opened the door and gave a small gasp of amazement. There were machines everywhere he looked. Some were small and some where massive. The biggest one was on the side wall. Spongebob got an uneasy vibration from the monstrosity. He felt like it was studying and watching him. But that was impossible. It was just a computer. Wasn't it?
Eventually, he ended up standing in front of a tiny desk. It looked like something that would come out of a doll house. (If Spongebob had known how much service the Chum Bucket had, he probably would have thought so). Sitting at the desk, was Plankton.
"I trust you know why you're here," said Plankton.
"You want me to do errands," replied Spongebob.
"Yes, that's right. The first errand I need you to do is to go and get me some milk. I'm all out and even plankton need calcium." Plankton handed Spongebob five dollars. "Here's some money for the milk."
"Okay…" said Spongebob, taking the money. He was surprised that the first errand was so simple.
Spongebob walked to Bargin Mart. He bought the milk and brought it back. Plankton then instructed the second errand. Spongebob was to check his computers over and make sure they were in working order. Spongebob did so. These simple errands continued. They were all basic things. --Except the one that involved the chicken suit and the three jars of mayonnaise--. But even that was easy. Spongebob was starting to relax. All of the errands were easy, good-for-you jobs. He would soon be wrong.
It was evening, and all of the day's errands had been done. Plankton gave Spongebob some pay for the work he did, and then sent him on his way.
It was the next day, and Spongebob woke up to a shining sun. "Another great day!" thought Spongebob to himself. He arose from his bed and bid a fond good morning to Gary. He went about his morning as usual.
He opened his front door, ready for the work day, but then he stopped. He saw a note addressed to him on his front step. He picked t p an opened it. It said:
Spongebob,
Please make sure you come to help me today. I have a very important errand for you to do. Stop by after work at the Krusty Krab as usual.
Plankton
Spongebob was puzzled a little by the note, but Plankton seemed nice enough, so Spongebob made a mental note to make sure that he would stop by at the Chum Bucket today.
The day carried on as usual. Spongebob worked well at the Krusty Krab. At the end of the work day, he put away his spatula and walked towards the Chum Bucket. Squidward was polishing the windows as Spongebob headed towards the Krusty Krab.
"Why would Spongebob go to the Chum Bucket?" thought Squidward to himself. However, he soon abandoned his curiosity and proceeded to the task at hand.
Spongebob entered the restaurant, anxious to learn what the special errand was. He opened the second door to the lab, and approached the tiny desk.
"I have a special errand for you today, Spongebob," said Plankton.
"What is it?" inquired Spongebob.
Plankton smiled to himself. His plan would soon be a success. "I believe you guessed that my restaurant isn't that successful."
"Well…I have never seen anyone here."
"Exactly. So my good friend, Eugene Krabs, has agreed to help me get some business. I trust you work for him."
"Yes," replied Spongebob.
"He agreed to give me the Krabby Patty formula. You know, so I could attract some customers with attractive food."
"I guess that makes sense…" Spongebob said.
"It does. However, I'm too busy to go over there and get it myself, so I need you to bring it to me."
"Don't worry, Mr. Plankton," said Spongebob, enthusiastically. "I know exactly where it is. I'll get that formula for you right away."
