Next Chapter XD Please R&R! I don't own anything apart from the story.

"I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready!" SpongeBob chanted as he ran down the road to work.

"Pfft." A figure said as he watched the over excited sponge race down the road to work. "How can anyone be so excited for work? I hate Mondays."

The voice belonged to none other, than Squidward Tentacles. Unlike SpongeBob, Squidward was not looking forward to another day at work. "Why couldn't weekends be longer?"

Squidward reluctantly put on his brown shirt, got washed, and headed down the stairs.

Meanwhile, SpongeBob was nearly at the Krusty Krab. His running had turned into a prance and a huge smile beaming on his face. The delighted Sponge came to a halt right beside the building's wooden frame and wrapped his arms around it.

"I missed you soooooo much! I know you hate the weekend as much as I do and I'm so happy to be here!" SpongeBob said to the restaurant, half of what he was saying muffled by his cheek pressing against it.

"Uh…lad?" A familiar voice said from behind SpongeBob.

SpongeBob quickly let got of the Krusty Krab. "Oh um…hey Mr. Krabs. Daahahahaha, I was just um…telling the Krusty Krab how much I missed her over the weekend.

"Snap out of it lad! You're here to make me money-uh-Krabby patties for me-I mean, the hungry customers.

"Aye-aye, Sir!" SpongeBob replied, standing upright and saluting his boss. Mr. Krabs nodded, and SpongeBob rushed into the Krusty Krab, grabbing his Krusty Krew hat and rushing into the kitchen.

Mr Krabs however, was entering his office. "Ah, hello money." He said to the dollar bill that was sitting on his desk. "Did ye miss me?"

The last to enter the Krusty Krab that morning was Squidward. He pushed open the door, which knocked a bell, making it give off a delightful twinkle noise. He merely grunted, grabbed his hat, and slouched off behind the cash register.

"Hi Squidward!" A to-familiar voice boomed from behind. "Seen any customers? Or should I say, 'Krustomers'?" Huh, huh? Or how about Sandy, or Mrs. Puff, or Fred, or Scooter or-"

Squidward sighed and turned around to see that annoying square sponge through the ordering window. "Look, SpongeBob. I've not seen any of your….friends. So why don't you just get what you need and-"

"Good morning Krusty Krew!" A deep voice greeted, interrupting Squidward.

"Patrick!" SpongeBob greeted the starfish, zooming out of the ordering window causing Squidward to duck.

"Just when I thought the day couldn't get any better." Squidward muttered under his breath, perhaps a little too loudly.

"See Patrick? Even Squid's happy that you're here today. Everyone is in such a good mood." SpongeBob said, gleefully.

"Oh boy! Hey Squidward!" Patrick greeted the bored looking octopus, rushing over to the ordering boat.

"What is it today, Patrick?" Squidward asked, giving Patrick the "I can't be bothered right now" look, which he hoped the obese starfish would buy.

Patrick looked at Squidward surprisingly, "Oh yeah! I forgot that I came here to order! Silly me!" He chuckled.

"Stupid you more like!" Squidward said under his breath, and started to laugh quietly.

"I'll have a…..a…..aaaaaaaaaaahhh…" Patrick said, staring up at the sign which read 'Galley Grub', trying to read what it said.

"Just remember training." Squidward thought. "Right, POOP. Pink Oblongs On People. No, that's not right…I knew I should of paid attention in training. Oh well." Squidward just looked at Patrick dully, thinking about his dancing magazines as the starfish continued to ponder aloud over what he would order.

"Psst! Patrick!" SpongeBob whispered in his ear. "How about a Krabby Patty?"

"Oh boy, I know what I'll have!" Patrick announced at the top of his lungs.

"I knew it would work!" Squidward said, quite pleased with himself.

"One Krabby Patty please!" Patrick said, puffing out his chest and looking proud that he had managed to order his breakfast. The two proud gentlemen stood there for a moment, backs straight and eyes closed.

Squidward, still quite full of himself, wrote down his order in a small notebook, and handed the page through the window. "One K-"He began, but stopped as he saw a fresh Krabby Patty on a plate.

"Gotcha covered, Squidward." SpongeBob said, overhearing Patrick's order.

Squidward's pride had worn of and he handed Patrick the plate.

"Gosh Squidward! I knew that we were second best friends and all, but you really shouldn't have gotten me this delicious Krabby Patty. Thanks!" Patrick said, surprised with the gift he had just been given, and walked out the door. A blue fish looked through the window of the Krusty Krab after Patrick had left, directed his gaze to something near Squidward, and walked across the street.

"Patrick!" Squidward called after him, "That'll be two doll…ars." But he was already heading up the road.

"Boys! Boys!" Mr. Krabs said, bursting out of his office door. "Look!" He grabbed SpongeBob and Squidward, carrying them to the window, before putting them down.

SpongeBob's eyes were wide in amazement, and ever Squidward was taken aback. Mr. Krabs was in shock as they all gazed out the window.

Across the street was a blue fish. But no ordinary blue fish, for he was ringing the bell on the Chum Bucket's cold, metal surface.

Hehe! That's chapter 2 for ya! Who is the strange fish that has the sense to pay the Cum Bucket a visit? What is Plankton up to? Why do Goofy Goobers like peanuts so much! Find out soon! Please R&R!
