Things all went downhill from there.

On the first day, Edward and Rai were trying to row the boat to a suitable island coast, when a storm hit. Many of the supplies were lost, okay all of them, but by some miracle, the boys and their fat companion survived. Danny was not happy about this. "We lose, what, all of our supplies, and the fat starfish stays?" He looked heavenward. "WHY DO YOU MOCK ME?"

After many days after the first one, the three were lying in a heap on their boat, weak from hunger. Coincidentally, a dying seagull just so happenedto land on one of their oars. Edward looked at the bird, then at Rai, raising his eyebrows.

"Oh, no!" cried Rai, lifting his hands up. "I'm not eating a dead bird!"

"C'mon, Rai. It won't be that bad…" Edward reached a hand out to grab the bird, but unfortunately for him, a sharpedo rose up out of the water and ate it whole, taking some oar with it.

Edward sat there in shock for a brief moment before flinging himself on the floor of the boat and sobbing hysterically.

"There, there," said Patrick giving Edward a pat on the back. "There'll be other birds…"

"Oh, just shut up…"

Two weeks later…

Edward rowed frontward as Rai rows backwards, making the boat not move forward but turning around.

"That Rock looks very familiar, I wonder if it knows squidwards house?" Patrick muse looking at the rock he seen the thirtieth time in the circular pattern there going.

three weeks later

Edward and Rai sat back to back in their rowboat, Patrick lying on the floor, looking pathetically into the sea. Rai's stomach rumbled and he put a hand over it. "Shut up," he groaned. He moved his head slightly, looking at his weak friend. "Edward, can you hear me?"

"yeah…"

"Did you ever think it would end this way?"

"Well," whispered Edward pathetically. "The Starfish is a pretty big surprise."

Rai kicked him feebly with his foot. "Do you have any regrets?"

"Besides dying, you mean? Yeah…" Edward held up one hand to tick them off on his fingers. "I never had enough…Gold…"

"Well, my regret…besides dying, is that our greatest adventure is over, and it never really began." Rai paused to think before continuing with "that, and I never got Goo Zombie X."

Edward rolled his eyes. "Rai, we never had the money, I told you."

"Yeah, but you could've bought it for my birthday…"

Edward sighed. "Well, hey Rai, if it's any consolation to you, you made my life…an adventure…"

Rai swallowed. "And…if it's any consolation to you, you made my life…Rich…"

Down on the floor of the boat, Patrick rolled his eyes.

Edward and rai both sighed as they lowered their hands to the sea, lifting out handfuls of…sand?

Edward's face broke out into a mad grin, but Rai only looked at it sadly and let it drift back out. Edward groaned and nudged Rai with his elbow.

"Ow, what!" Rai looked down, and saw exactly what his friend saw. "IT'S LAND!" he cried, leaping to his feet, apparently forgetting his earlier weakness. "Sweet land! Oh, rejoice with me, Patrick & Ed!"

both shrugged, laughing as they joined their friend in…erm, kissing the ground in joy.

Rai felt something that was distinctively not sand. He opened his eyes and saw…a skull.

Both boys, and starfish leapt to their feet, screaming loud enough to wake the Dead. They saw two skeletons, in rusted armor, ghost blasters at their sides.

Patrick stared in horror. "Oh my god…Spongebob an Double D would have a heart attack if they saw how filthy this armor is…" he said.

Rai was hurriedly wiping his tongue on his sleeve. Edward cleared his throat. "Okay, all in favor of getting back in the boat, say "Aye". Aye."

"Aye!" cried Rai.

"Aye!" Patrick cried.

Edward turned and shoved patrick toward the boat (which was no easy feat, let me tell you) yelling "Go, go, GO!"

Rai turned to make a mad dash for the boat, but stopped. Slowly, he turned around, taking out a rolled-up piece of parchment form his pocket. Slowly he unfurled it, looking form the terrain to the paper.

Ed looked up from his work of pushing the boat out to sea. "Yo, Rai! I could use a little help!"

He got no answer, unless you counted Rai's rapid looking from paper to real world an answer.

Ed sighed, approaching his friend. "Hello, Raimundo! Rai! Hello-"

"Edward!" roared Rai, whirling around and facing Edward. A wild look was in his eyes. "WE'VE DONE IT!"

"We've done what?" Edward asked. Then he saw the map in Rai's hand. "Wait, is that the map?"

"It's all right here!" continued Rai, oblivious to Edward.

"You still have the map?"

"The very same rock…the stream!"

Edward was practically pulling out his hair by now. "You kept the map, AND YOU COULDN'T GRAB A LITTLE MORE FOOD?"

"Edward, you said so yourself! It could be possible!" Rai rushed to Edward and shook him by the shoulders in excitement. "AND IT IS! IT TRULY IS! THE MAP TO EL DORADO!"

Edward stared at his friend before sighing. Pointing to the sea behind him, he said "You drank the seawater, didn't you?"

Rai exhaled impatiently. "Oh, come on!"

"I'm NOT coming on!" cried Edward. "I wouldn't set foot in that jungle for a million bucks!"

Rai smirked as he watched his friend go towards the boat. "How about a hundred million?"

Edward stopped dead in his tracks. "Say that again."

Rai shrugged his shoulders, rolling up the map. "I just figured, 'Hey, El Dorado is the city of gold."

Edward turned around. "Rai, what are you saying here?"

"Well, you know. Gold dust, gold bricks, and a very temple! Where you can pluck gold from the walls with your fingers."

Rai grinned to himself when he saw Edward was beginning to get a far-off look in his eyes. He had him right where he wanted… "But you don't want to go, so let's just get back in the boat and row back to Toon-spain! After all, it worked so well last time!"

"Hey, hey, hey! WAIT! Wait…" said Edward, stopping Rai immediately. "New plan: we find the city of gold, we take the gold," he continued. "And then we row back to Toon-spain."

"And buy Toon-spain!" exclaimed Rai.

"Now you're talking!"

"Come on, Edward!" said Rai. Leaping forward and picking up one of the ecto-blasters near the skeletons. "We'll follow the trail!"

Edward looked into the jungle. It was so dense, he couldn't see an inch into it. "What trail?"

Rai began blasting away at the jungle. "The trail…that we blaze!"

The smoke caused form the ecto-blasts cleared to reveal…that Raimundo had been blasting away at a stone wall covered in moss.

Edward sighed, Patrick just look at it and said "You want us to smack our body on rocks?"

Raimundo kept his smile. Pointing to another area, he yelled "That trail that we blaze!" He ran off to blast away at more jungle to clear a path.

Edward sighed, regretting he had ever jumped into that barrel and wound up on the ship. Patrick walked off, but Edward caught him. "Oh, no you don't! I suffer, you suffer!"

As he led away Patrick, following Rai, Pat retaliated by kicking Edward in the rear. "OW! Hey, your new friend, the starfish just kicked me in the butt!"
