SOLmaster presents my first parody fic "The Little Sponge" a parody of "The Little Mermaid" except the main character's not a mermaid and is a boy. Dedicated to all the SB/SC fans. Now here it is.
The Little Sponge
It was a great day at sea. The dolphins were swimming happily and a big ship with its crew singing as they were sailing through the ocean.
Sailors: I'll tell you the tale of the bottomless blue and it's a hey to the starboard heave ho look out lad, a mermaid be waiting for you in mysterious fathoms below.
Standing on the ridge of the boat was a squirrel wearing a white dress named Sandy, "Isn't this great, Corneil? The salty sea air, the wind blowing in your face…boy I sure do love be'en at sea!" Sandy said happily. Sandy was speaking to a talking, yellow dog with a genius IQ, leaning over the other side of the boat. He had been at sea for too long and is sea sick.
"Yeah great." Mumbled Corneil.
"Well, these waves are also stirring up customers for Mr. Krabs." Said a sailor.
"Mr. Krabs?" Sandy asked surprised.
"Of course." A teenage boy with spiky blue hair, an orange vest, and green baggy pants named Bernie, agreed as he grabbed a fish. "Owner of the Krusty Krab, the biggest fast food restaurant in Bikini Bottom. You should've known that, Sandy."
"Bernie." Corneil said with a frown. "I can't believe you believe that stuff, just ignore all this nonsense, Sandy."
"It's the truth, Corneil!" snapped Bernie as he waved a fish in Corneil's face. "And someday I'm gonna have one of those krabby patty burgers!"
Bernie waves the fish too hard and it slips out of Bernie's hands, bounces on Corneil's head, and goes back into the ocean.
Sailors: Heave ho. Heave ho. In mysterious fathoms below.
When the fish was at the bottom of the ocean, he gave a sigh of relief and started heading to the Krusty Krab. There were crowds of sea creatures trying to get inside for the show Mr. Krabs was holding, inside they were all sitting at tables and on the stage, Perch Perkins was starting the show. "Presenting, the owner of the Krusty Krab. Mr. Krabs!" Mr. Krabs came out from behind the curtain and said, " Ahoy, remember to buy lotsa krabby patties ar ar ar ar ar."
When Mr. Krabs was done, Perch Perkans continued. "Presenting the cashier and music composer of the Krusty Krab. Squidward Johansson Tentacles."
Squidward came out from behind the curtain and made a pose expecting an applause, but the audience was silent. Squidward got angry and walked off stage with Mr. Krabs.
"Mr. Squidward, this is the greatest money making scheme ever." Mr. Krabs said.
Squidward replied, "Yes, and the debut of my career."
"And I'm especially looking forward to a certain rectangular employee." Mr. Krabs whispered.
"Yes, we all know he's the world's greatest fry cook and singer." Then Squidward mumbled to himself, "If only he would show up for rehearsals once in a while." Squidward went back on stage. "And now, Pearl."
The curtains pulled back and a whale wearing a cheerleader outfit stood there and did a cheer.
Pearl: Gimme a S-P-O! Gimme a N-G-E! B-O-B! What does that spell?
The curtains lifted revealing an empty grill, except someone was supposed to be behind it. Pearl gasped, Squidward gasped, and Mr. Krabs got angry and yelled, "SpongeBob!"
Meanwhile deep in Jellyfish Fields a square, yellow creature named SpongeBob and a chubby pink starfish named Patrick, were jellyfishing and having fun. SpongeBob stopped running, and Patrick bumped into him and fell right on top of him. Instead of getting annoyed, SpongeBob just smiled and laughed, "Look Patrick!" SpongeBob said, pointing.
"Look at what?" Patrick asked confused.
"A ship." SpongeBob nudged Patrick. "There's gotta be some cool land stuff in there, ya think?"
"Yes." Patrick replied.
"Then let's go!"
They went into the ship by climbing through the window. SpongeBob went in first, then Patrick. But he got stuck.
"Uh, SpongBob? Help!" Patrick called out.
SpongeBob saw what happened and laughed. "Aw, don't worry buddy, I'll get you out." SpongeBob pulled on Patrick's arms and he slipped out. Unknowing to them, they were being followed. They went into the next room in the ship and saw something shiny. "Oh my gosh, Patrick!" SpongeBob called out excited. He walked up and picked up a fork. "Have you ever seen anything so wonderful in your entire life?"
"Wow," Patrick said staring at the fork. "But what is it?" Patrick asked.
"I don't know." SpongeBob replied. "But I bet Gary will." He said as he put the fork in his bag. Then Patrick thought he saw something. "Uh, SpongeBob?"
But SpongeBob wasn't listening, he was too busy picking up a pipe, "Hmm, I wonder what this is?" he put the pipe in the bag with the fork.
"SpongeBob." Patrick said still trying to get SpongeBob's attention.
"Yes?" SpongeBob singsong.
"There's something here."
"Patrick, nothing's gonna happen."
As SpongeBob said that, the Flying Dutchman came through the wall and roared. SpongeBob and Patrick screamed in terror.
"I am the Flying Dutchman!"
"Uh hi, Mr. Dutchman sir, we were just..uh…doing a little treasure hunting." SpongeBob said as he laughed nervously.
"Trespassing on a man's ship and for that I'll shall eat you two for dinner!" The Dutchman said. SpongeBob and Patrick screamed in terror and ran away. The Dutchman chased them while spitting fire at them. While they were running, SpongeBob dropped his bag, SpongeBob noticed and went back to grab it and almost got burned by the Dutchman's fire. Patrick ran to the window they came in through, Patrick got stuck again. SpongeBob ran toward him and pushed him out and he got through. While running outside, Patrick bumped into an anchor and got knocked out. SpongeBob went back and tried to wake him up, but the Dutchman was getting closer. SpongeBob held up a sock and the Dutchman looked surprised and said, "What are you doing with my sock, give it here!"
"You want it, go get it." SpongeBob said as he threw the sock and the Dutchman ran after it. Patrick woke up and saw what happened and said, "Ha ha ha, you tricked him, SpongeBob!"
"Shh Patrick, let's get outta here." They both ran home.
When they were getting near SpongeBob's pineapple house, Gary was in the front yard. SpongeBob looked around and saw Gary.
"Hey Patrick, there's Gary!"
Patrick took out a telescope and looked in it the wrong way. "Hey Gary! Whatcha doin way over there!?"
Patrick lowered the telescope and saw Gary was right in front of him. "Wow, you're fast for a snail."
SpongeBob walked up to Gary and dumped his bag out, "Hey Gar, look what we found. Since you use to live on land, you can tell us what these are."
Gary, "Meowed"
"Yup, more land stuff, so what's this thing?" SpongeBob asked as he put the fork in front of Gary, he looked at it and said "meow"
"I knew it!" Patrick said, "This thing is a dinglehopper."
"A dinglehopper?" SpongeBob asked confused.
"Land creatures use it to brush their hair."
SponegBob's eyes lit up as he held the 'dinglehopper'. "Wow, a dinglehopper. But what about that one?"
Gary looked at the pipe. "Meow."
Patrick picked up the pipe and said, "A snarfblatt. It's what land creatures use to make music."
Gary blew into the pipe and a bunch of goop flew on to Patrick's face. SpongeBob then screamed, "Ahhh, music?" he quickly packed his stuff. "The party, Mr. Krabs is gonna boil."
"Mr. Krabs is gonna cook himself?"
"Sorry, Gary, gotta go. See ya later, Gary!" SpongeBob said as he and Patrick were leaving.
Unknowing to them, they were being watched by Plankton in the Chum Bucket on his screen. "Yes. Hurry home, SpongeBob, you wouldn't want to miss Krabs' celebration. Celebration bah in my college days we had 'all you can eat buffet', and now look at me. In the restaurant business and I haven't even had one customer. But soon Krabs will pay with my new master plan." Then Plankton called to his henchman. "Manray! Dirty Bubble! I want you to keep an eye on the fry cook. He may be the key to Krabs' undoing."
Back at the Krusty Krab, Patrick was watching sadly as Mr. Krabs and Squidward were busy scolding SpongeBob.
"I just don't know what I'm going to do with you, boy." Mr. Krabs said.
"But Mr. Krabs, I'm sorry, I just forgot." SpongeBob said trying to cover up his mistake.
"Because of your careless behavior."
"Careless and reckless behavior." Squidward said joining in.
"The entire celebration was-"
"Ruined!" Squidward finished, "The launch of my high paying career gone and it's all because of you, and now I'm the laughing stock of Bikini Bottom! Still!"
"And all me paying customers along with it!"
SpongeBob looked a bit guilty, but Patrick came and said. "But it wasn't his fault…we were on our way to the party when the ghost of the Flying Dutchman came and was like ooooh!" Patrick continued as Mr. Krabs and Squidward looked like they didn't believed one word of Patrick's story even though some of it was true. "And then we were safe and then SpongeBob's chatty snail came and then it was this is this and that is that"
"Snail?" Mr. Krabs said as he knew Gary once lived on land before being adopted by SpongeBob.
"Oops." Patrick said realizing the mistake he just made.
"You were gonna go to the surface again, weren't you, weren't you?"
"Nothing happened." SpongeBob said sheepishly.
"Oh SpongeBob, how many times must we go through this? You could've been seen by one of those monsters, by one of those land creatures!"
"Mr. Krabs, they're not monsters!" SpongeBob yelled.
"They're dangerous. You think I want to see me best fry cook snared by a fish-eaters hook?"
"I'm 19-years-old and I'm not a kid anymore!"
"Don't you take that tone of voice with me, lad. As long as I am your boss, you will obey my rules!"
"But Mr. Krabs…"
"Not another word! And I am never to hear you going to the surface again! Is that clear?"
SpongeBob tried to talk, but just broke into tears and ran into the kitchen.
Squidward just took out a magazine and said, "Hmph, sponges… they think they know everything,
"You think I was too hard on the lad?" Mr. Krabs asked Squidward.
"Frankly, I don't care whether you fire him or not. But if you ask me, if I was his boss and I'm so glad I'm not, I'd teach him who's in charge. No flittering to the surface. I'd keep him under constant supervision."
"You're absolutely right, Mr. Sqiudward."
"I am?" Squidward asked confused.
"SpongeBob needs constant supervision and you are just the squid to do it."
Squidward looked shocked, but Mr. Krabs just went to his office.
Squidward yelled out to his himself. "There is no way I'm-" Squidward saw SpongeBob and Patrick sneaking out, "Hmm, what are those two up to?"
Squidward went out of the Krusty Krab and followed them to SpongeBob house. He peeked through SpongeBob's door and saw SpongeBob and Patrick standing in front of the wall, a secret wall opened up and showed a speaker, SpongeBob whispered loudly, "Jellyfishing" and a secret door opened up, they cheered and went downstairs with Gary. The door was closing and Squidward hurried inside, but the door caught his leg, he pulled it out and fell down 20 steps. When he reached the bottom, he was surprised to see a bunch of land stuff on top of shelves and then he saw Gary, Patrick, and SpongeBob playing with the 'dinglehopper'.
"SpongeBob, are you okay?" Patrick asked.
"I don't know. I just wish I can make him understand. I had a dream one time of what it'd be like to live on land…"
SpongeBob: Mister Sun came up and he smiled at me
He said, "It's gonna be a good one just wait and see."
Jumped out of bed and I ran outside
Feeling so extra ecstatified
Squidward looked through a pair of glasses that made his eyes look big.
SpongeBob: It's the best day ever (best day ever)
It's the best day ever (best day ever)
Squidward listened more closely to what SpongeBob was saying.
SpongeBob: I'm so busy got nothing to do
Spent the last two hours just tyin' my shoes
Every flower, every grain of sand
Is reaching out to shake my hand
SpongeBob grabbed Patrick's hand and started dancing with him.
SpongeBob: It's the best day ever (best day ever)
It's the best day ever (best day ever)
Sometimes the little things start closing in on me
But when I'm feeling down I wanna lose that frown
Squidward saw his reflection in a funhouse mirror, got scared and fell down a hill.
SpongeBob: I stick my head out the window and I look around
Those clouds don't scare me, they can't disguise
This magic that's happenen right before my eyes
Soon mister moon will be shining bright
So the best day ever can last all night
Yeah the best day ever's gonna last all night now
It's the best day ever (best day ever)
It's the best day ever (best day ever)
It's the best day ever (best day ever)
It's the best day ever (best day ever)
When SpongeBob was done singing, Squidward got tangled in SpongeBob's stuff and fell right in front of him, scaring Patrick and Gary.
"Squidward!" SpongeBob said surprised.
Squidward got untangled and really mad, "SpongeBob, what did you…how could you…what is all this?"
"Uh…it's uh…discovery." SpongeBob said making up some lame excuse.
"Oh right, discovery." Squidward said like he understood. "Wait'll Mr. Krabs finds out about this!"
"You're not gonna tell are you" Patrick asked.
"Oh please Squidward, he'll never understand." SpongeBob begged.
"Oh, no!" Squidward took SpongeBob by his arm and started dragging him out. "You are coming right with me and you are gonna explain to Mr. Krabs all about this!"
But SpongeBob wasn't listening. He saw a shadow on the ceiling.
"What is that?" SpongeBob took off his arm to get free from Squidward and he grew another one.
"SpongeBob?" Squidward said as he realized he was holding an arm now and he screamed in horror. SpongeBob didn't listen as he, Patrick, and Gary (on Patrick's head) went to the surface.
The song that SpongeBob sings is called The Best Day Ever, and I decided to use it instead of Part of Your World. I decided to rewrite this to make it easier to understand. It'll be the same story though.
