Chapter 2: Pearl and Sandy

"Where are we?" I asked as the portal dropped me on the ground.

"We are at the entrance to Bikinni Bottom High." Answered the Flying Dutchmen. I stood up and looked around.

"Why are we at a high school? I asked.

"Doesn't one of your friend's daughter go here?" I knew what friend he meant.

"Why did we go to Pearl's school? I didn't do anything terrible to her."

"Come, I'll show you." The flying Dutchmen flouted to the entrance.

"Wait! You'll scare everybody inside." I shouted following him inside.

"Whoa!" I said inside. "Must be prom night. The gym's crowed."

"Do you recognize her?" The flying Dutchmen said pointing to Pearl. She was alone and she was crying.

"What's the matter with Pearl?" I asked the Flying Dutchmen.

"She's sad because she had to take her dad to the prom."

"What's the matter with that?" I had no clue what was going on.

"Her dad, Mr. Krabs embarrasses her in front of her friends."

"How is that my fault then?"

"If it wasn't for you, Pearl wouldn't have taken anyone special to the prom." Then we heard Mr. Krabs and Peal talking to each other.

"Why are you crying Pearl?" Mr. Krabs asked his daughter. "Aren't you having fun?" Peal shook her head.

"No" she said sadly.

"Why not?"

"Because you're embarrassing me dad. You've always have."

"I can be a fun dad. Do you want some punch?"

"No thanks." She sighed.

"Nonsense, I'll go get you a little punch. Pearl stood up quickly.

"No dad! Please don't!" she bagged while her dad went to get some punch. But it was too late.

"Hello sir, can I give my daughter some punch?" Mr. Krabs asked a male fish behind the counter.

"That'll be 5 dollars." The man said. Mr. Krabs laughed.

"Arg Arg Arg! Good one, but seriously you don't expect me to pay my money do you? This is a high school for heaven's sake, not a grocery store." Mr. Krabs laughed again.

"No, I'm serious. That'll be 5 dollars." The man replied. Mr. Krabs stopped laughing.

"What? You can't be serous. What kind of high school expects their students to pay their parent's money?"

"This high school does. Now can you please move, you're holding up the line." Mr. Krabs looked at the line of people waiting for some punch.

"Fine." He said pointing at the man. "But you'll be sorry that you coned me into some money." Mr. Krabs walked toward his daughter.

"See daddy, I told you not to do it." She reminded her dad.

"Don't worry Pearl, I'll get you some punch or my name isn't Eugene H. Krabs!" He rushed towed the man, and pinned him to the ground.

"Daddy! What are you doing?" Pearl shouted.

"Now give me daughter some punch or else!" Mr. Krabs threatened.

"Sorry, school rules. You have to pay like everyone else." The man said freighted.

"That's it! I have had enough!" Mr. Krabs walked over to the punch stand, and broke it to bits.

"Daddy! Don't do what I think you're doing!" Pearl shouted. Mr. Krabs started going crazy, and began breaking everything at the prom!

"Daddy stop it! Pearl pleaded, but her dad was too busy breaking everything to listen.

"Daddy Please!" Pearl's friends came by.

"Wow Peal!" One of her friends said. "If there was a "Craziest dad contest", your dad will win first prize." Then her friends broke out laughing and left. Poor Pearl had no chose but to cry loudly. She cried until everyone had left the building.

"Come on Pearl, don't do this." Mr. Krabs coaxed her daughter.

"Dad, you've ruined everything." She wailed.

"Calm down, Pearl! I didn't ruin everything."

"Yes you did!" She cried some more. I wanted to say something to cheer her up, but The Flying Dutchmen interrupted.

"Come on SpongeBob, there's plenty more to see." I took one last look at the crying Pearl; I sighed and then followed the Flying Dutchmen out of the building.

"Gosh, poor Pearl, I knew Mr. Krabs was violent at times, but not that violent." I told the Flying Dutchmen walking to the portal.

"Yeah, me neither," the Flying Dutchman confessed.

Then, I heard Pearl stampeding behind me. I looked behind me crying while she ran. I tried to run, but she was too fast and she ran over my spongy body.

"You're the worst daddy in the universe!!" She cried all the way home.

"Pearl come back! I can change!" Mr. Krabs shouted then sighed.

"I bet she'd be happier taking a sponge to a prom rather then me."

"Come on, nothing more to see here." The flying Dutchmen said, picking me up and away we went to our next destination.

Next, we went to Sandy's treedome. I got up and brushed myself off, and looked around.

"What are we doing at Sandy's Tree dome?" I asked.

"You'll see." The Dutchmen replayed. Suddenly the door to Sandy's Tree dome opened, and out walked Sandy with her suitcases.

"What is Sandy doing with those bags?"

"She's moving away." I quickly turned around and gave the Dutchmen a worried look.

"Why?" I wanted to know exactly what was going on.

"She misses her home back in Texas, so she's going home." I looked at him again.

"But, I thought we showed her that here is where she belonged."

"Correction, you did. You didn't want her to leave, and with you never being born, it never happed." I watched in terrier as Sandy left her house.

"That's it!" I said. "I can't let this happen to my friend, I got to stop her!" I started towards her.

"Aw SpongeBob, where are you going?" Dutchmen asked.

"What's it look like I'm doing? I'm going to talk to Sandy, and convince her to stay."

"I wouldn't do that if I were you."

"And why not?"

"Because she won't listen to you."

"Yes she will."

"No she won't." I put my hands on my hips.

"Dutchie, she's been my friend for almost 9 years, so she'll listen to what I have to say."

"Well ok, but I doubt it." I scowled at him, and then made my way up to Sandy.

"Hey Sandy." I waved to her. There was no response.

"Hey Sandy." I repeated more loudly this time. Still, I herd nothing come out of her mouth.

"HEY SANDY!!! WHY ARE YOU MOVING?" I harrored with my loudest voice. Still there was nothing to hear.

"Why is Sandy not hearing me?" I asked, finally giving up.

"I told you, you don't exist."Duchmen told me. Suddenly, I heard a familiar voice.

"NO! Sandy, please stay here! Patrick shouted rushing toward Sandy's bus stop, and grabbing her feet.

"Please Sandy; if you leave I won't have any friends! Patrick sobbed.

"Don't be silly Patrick, you still have Squidward." Sandy reminded him.

"Yeah, but Squidward's is too busy with Clarie all the time."

"Look Patrick, Squidward just wants some peace and quiet is all. Now I'm leaving, and that's final! That when Sandy's bus came, she shook Patrick off, got on it, and left.

"NO SANDY!!!!"! Patrick fell on the ground and cried and cied.

"Poor Patrick." I said with a frown. "Left without a friend in the world.

"What about Squidward?" Duchie asked.

"Squidward's busy with Claire." I reminded him.

"Well come on." Duchie said. "There's nothing more we can do." He ordered me to follow. I followed him, still frowning. I sighed.

"It's just that, I feel bad when my friends are sad, espcaelly Patrick. I just wished I could talk to him, and you know cheer him up a bit." I said walking towards the portal.

"Yeah, well no one's perfect." He said, and then we went into the portal, going to our next destination, and my next depression.
