The dawn met SpongeBob's eyes and he gently shook his friend, Patrick. He woke up, a bit startled.
Patrick said, "Oh Spongebob I had a terrible nightmare!"
"Oh," Spongebob asked, "What about?"
"I dreamt that bully Natalie had persuaded you to abandon me," Patrick said, clearly shaken.
"It's okay Bud," Spongebob reassured, "It was just a dream, I'm still here."
They both got up, climbed out of the bowl, and went to grab the crown, but it wasn't there anymore!
"It was right here yesterday," Spongebob said.
"Hey," Natalie shouted, "Morons!"
The two friends turned to look and Natalie was standing at the window still. The crown was in a blue bubble and tethered to Natalie by a reddish chain.
Natalie yelled, "I have Neptune's Crown!"
Patrick shouted in turn, "Give it back!"
"No," Natalie replied loudly.
SpongeBob reached out, focusing his eyes on the bubble. The bubble began to float from behind Natalie to in front of her. However, The chain prevented it from completely leaving Natalie.
"Hey get back here," Natalie said pulling on the chain. Then with a shutter, the Bubble popped, and the crown fell to the ground. Reacting quickly, SpongeBob and Patrick ran over to the Crown to lift it and rushed away. The red chains disappeared and Natalie chased after them as they left the Gift Shop.
They rushed across the beach with Natalie hot on their tails, she blasted the crown with some dark magic. It was denied by Spongebob's protective shield. Patrick worked quickly and pulled out a bottle of bubble soap.
"What are you going to do," Spongebob asked breathlessly, "With that Pat?"
"We need to get home fast," Patrick replied panting, "What better way but with Bubble travel?"
He stopped at the edge of the beach, the waves of the sea lapping his legs. Spongebob kept his protective shield up as Patrick blew a big bubble around them.
Patrick cheerfully declared, "Tada!"
"Wow," SpongeBob said, "Pat that was some great thinking!"
They started floating away when suddenly, a red chain wrapped around the bubble.
Natalie screeched "Get back here you cowards!!"
"I mean," Patrick quipped, "I'll her some credit she is quite persistent."
SpongeBob sighed, "Yeah, but we're running out of time for this."
SpongeBob knelt on the bubble's floor, closing his eyes in concentration.
"Okay Aquarius," Spongebob whispered, "Show me what you can do."
Suddenly, storm clouds formed above them in the sky. Lighting flashed, thunder rumbled and the wind started picking up. The tide quickly decreased, making Natalie laugh a little.
Then big waves were forming as Spongebob opened his eyes, they were glowing bright blue. He slowly lifted his hands, and from the ocean came a huge tsunami tidal wave, which quickly pulled their bubble into the ocean, and Natalie off the beach.
Patrick cheered, "Good job buddy, we got rid of her!"
"For now," SpongeBob replied with a sigh, "Come on, let's focus on finally getting the crown back to Neptune."
