They saw a giant ship surrounded by fireworks. "Ooh." SpongeBob said with big eyes. Then Squidward came and said, "SpongeBob, what are you…" Squidward saw the ship and yelled, "Holy fishpaste!"
The next thing he sees is SpongeBob swimming toward the ship.
"SpongeBob, Come back now!"
SpongeBob climbed the ship and looked through a hole and saw sailors playing instruments and dancing. He also saw Corneil running from something. SpongeBob was surprised to hear him talk.
"I finally lost her. I can't take anymore of her karate spars."
Corneil then saw SpongeBob through the hole, he walked toward him and SpongeBob got scared and hid. When he looked back, Corneil's nose hit SpongeBob's, and they both got scared. Corneil jumped back, "Who are you?"
"Corneil, where are you?" A girl called out.
"Oh, no. Sandy!"
Corneil ran up to Sandy and tried to tell her what he saw, "Sandy, I saw-" but she wouldn't let him finish.
"Hey Corneil, whatcha doin?"
"While she was playing with Corneil, SpongeBob was watching Sandy with big eyes and a smile like he was falling in love with her. Then Patrick climbed up to SpongeBob.
"Hey SpongeBob, whatcha doing up here?" Patrick asked
"Shh Patrick, they'll hear you." SpongeBob whispered.
"What? I can't hear you!" Patrick yelled.
"Patrick!" SpongeBob loudly whispered as he covered Patrick's mouth. "I've never seen a land creature this close before." SpongeBob sighed and continued, "Isn't she beautiful?"
Patrick scratched his chin and looked at Corneil, thinking he was talking about him. "I don't know, SpongeBob, look at that nose."
SpongeBob just laughed, "Not that one, the one playing the 'snarfblatt'." SpongeBob said as he watched Sandy play her guitar.
"Attention." Bernie called out. "Attention everyone! Listen up people!"
Everyone had their attention to Bernie.
"It is my pleasure to present Sandy with a gift so awesome, so expensive, and so cool that you're gonna thank me later."
"This gift better be as good as you say it is, Bernie." Corneil said.
"Aww, Bernie, you shouldn't have." Sandy said sweetly.
"But I did anyway." Bernie said as he was getting ready to show the present. "Happy birthday, Sandy!"
Bernie pulled off the blanket and showed a poorly sculpted statue of Sandy, looking pretty. Corneil rolled his eyes and Sandy looked embarrassed.
"Gee Bernie," Sandy said trying to think of something to say. "You really shouldn't have."
"Isn't it great?" Bernie said proud of his work. "I made it myself. Of course I was saving it for a wedding present."
"Aw come on Bernie," Sandy said as she grabbed a telescope from Bernie's hands. "Y'all aren't still mad I didn't fall for Secret Squirrel."
"But he was a detective. You have to marry some guy."
"I will. I just haven't found him yet. I know he's out there somewhere."
Unknown to her, SpongeBob was listening to the whole thing and smiling at the same time.
Bernie walked up to Sandy. "How touching and how do you know it will be him?"
"It will just. Hiya," Sandy made a karate chop in the air. "Hit me, like lightning."
And just like that lightning flashed in the sky. "Hurricane a comin!" one of the sailors shouted. The winds were so strong it blew Patrick away.
"Ahhh, SpongeBob!"
"Patrick!" SpongeBob called to his best friend.
Squidward and Gary saw what happened and they hid underwater. On the ship, the crew was doing all they can to keep the ship safe, while Corneil was running around in circles panicking. Then the pole was struck by lightning and was now on fire. It fell down the deck and everybody jumped in the ocean and climbed into the lifeboat. The strong wind blew SpongeBob into the ocean. Sandy helped Bernie into the lifeboat, "I think that's everyone." Sandy heard someone calling for help, "Corneil!" she saw Corneil still on the burning ship; she jumped in and climbed on the ship. "Come on, boy, jump!" Sandy called to Corneil.
"I can't!" Corneil said scared. He then saw a large piece of burning wood behind him. "Okay, I'm coming!"
Corneil jumped as far as he could and Sandy caught him. As she was running, her foot got caught in a hole and Corneil flew out of her arms and into the ocean. Sandy got unstuck and dove into the water just as the ship blew up.
"Sandy!" Bernie called as he picked up Corneil.
SpongeBob saw what happened and looked underwater for Sandy. He then saw her drifting on a piece of wood unconscious, she fell underwater and SpongeBob dove in and put her back on the piece of wood and he started kicking them to shore.
On a little beach outside a castle, SpongeBob was wearing a water helmet, sitting beside the unconscious Sandy. Then Patrick came by also wearing a water helmet, SpongeBob noticed him and asked, "Patrick, are you okay, buddy?"
"That was some ride." He noticed Sandy on the floor. "Who's the dead girl?"
SpongeBob started to panic, "Oh no, she isn't really dead, is she?"
Patrick opened one of her eyelids, "It's hard to tell." Then Patrick put her foot against his ear. "Sorry, SpongeBob, there's no heartbeat."
Just then, SpongeBob saw Sandy breathing. "No wait, Patrick, she's breathing!" SpongeBob took a big sigh. "She's so beautiful."
He started to sing the same song he sang before.
SpongeBob: I'm so busy got nothing to do
I'd rather sit here on the beach with you
While he was singing Squidward and Gary washed up on the beach and saw SpongeBob.
SpongeBob: Soon mister moon will be shining bright
Squidward's jaw dropped in shock as he saw SpongeBob, but Patrick just smiled and closed it back up.
SpongeBob: Cause the best day ever can last all night
Yeah the best day ever's gonna last all night now
Sandy opened her eyes and saw a little blurry vision of SpongeBob in the sun laughing.
SpongeBob and Sandy heard someone and SpongeBob quickly ran back into the ocean. Bernie ran up to Sandy, but Corneil ran towards the ocean.
"Wait, come back!" Corneil called to the little, yellow creature. But he knew he was long gone.
"Geez, Sandy, do you enjoy giving me heart attacks?" Bernie said as he helped her up, but she wasn't listening.
"Did you see him?" She asked, looking for SpongeBob.
"See what?" Bernie asked confused.
"A guy saved my life and he was singing, he had the most adorable voice especially when he laughed."
"I think you swallowed a little too much sea water, Sandy, lets clean you up."
Corneil ran up to Bernie and Sandy. "Wait, I saw-" He didn't finish as Bernie started dragging him by the collar.
"You too, Corneil, you smell like ocean."
Squidward, Patrick, Gary, and SpongeBob watched as Corneil, Bernie, and Sandy walked away. SpongeBob was on top of a large rock daydreaming and Squidward was talking to Patrick.
"Okay, were not gonna mention this to Mr. Krabs, you won't tell him, I won't tell him."
"Tell who, what?"
SpongeBob wasn't listening, he started to sing again.
SpongeBob: 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's gonna last all night now!
A big wave splashed behind him. Unknown to them, SpongeBob was being watched by Manray and the Dirty Bubble, holding a video camera that was broadcasting a signal to Plankton's restaurant. Plankton laughed at the screen. "I can't stand it! It's too easy! The sponge is in love with a land squirrel and not just any squirrel, a princess. Krabs is gonna love this. Wait a minute."
Plankton walked over to a table and on top of something covered by a sheet.
"Krabs' dim-witted fry cook would make a great addition to the chum bucket."
Plankton removed the sheet and revealed a bucket helmet that looked like it could fit a sponge…a square one.
A few days later at the Krusty Krab, SpongeBob and Squidward were busy doing their jobs. Well, one of them at least.
"SpongeBob, is number 8's order ready yet?"
SpongeBob walked out of the kitchen carrying a tray of food while humming the same tune he's been singing. He put the tray on the customer's table, the customer took a bite and said, "I asked for no pickles."
While SpongeBob was skipping, he accidentally bumped into Mr. Krabs.
"Good morning, Mr. Krabs." SpongeBob said politely.
"Uh… good morning, lad."
SpongeBob skipped past Pearl and her friends and ran outside. Pearl and her friends just stared. Squidward panicked and quietly snuck out of the Krusty Krab to follow SpongeBob.
"He's got it bad." Julie said.
"What, what is he got?" Mr. Krabs asked confused.
"Isn't obvious, Daddy? SpongeBob's in love." Pearl answered.
"SpongeBob? In love?" Mr. Krabs said still a little confused and surprised.
In Jellyfish Fields, SpongeBob was laying on top of a rock, picking the petals off a flower, while Squidward was pacing back and forth wondering out loud to himself.
"Okay, so far so good, I don't think Mr. Krabs knows. But it won't be so easy keeping something like this a secret for long."
SpongeBob sighed and continued, "She loves me…Mmm, she loves me not…she love me!" His smile grew bigger as he started laughing. "I knew it!"
Squidward tried talking to him. "SpongeBob, stop talking crazy!"
But SpongeBob wasn't listening. "I gotta see her again…tonight. Gary knows where she lives."
"SpongeBob, will you get your dumb, yellow head out of the clouds and back in the water where it belongs?"
"I'll walk up to her castle, then Patrick will splash around to get her attention, and then we'll go…"
"Down here is your home, you dunce!"
Squidward went in front of SpongeBob's face. "SpongeBob, listen to me. The dry land…it's a mess. Life under the sea is better than anything they got up there." Squidward sat SpongeBob down as he started to sing "under the sea"
Squidward: The seaweed is always greener
In somebody else's lake
You dream about going up there
But that is a big mistake
Just look at the world around you
Right here on the ocean floor
Such wonderful things surround you
What more are you lookin' for?
Under the sea
Under the sea
Down where it's better
Down where it's wetter
Take it from me
Up on the shore they work all day
Out in the sun they slave away
While we're devotin'
Full time to floatin
Under the sea
Squidward+Squillium: Down here all the fish is happy
As off through the waves they roll
The fish on the land ain't happy
Squidward: They sad cause they in the bowl
But fish in the bowl is lucky
they in for a worser fate
One day when the boss gets hungry
Scooter: Guess who's gon' be on the plate dude
Squidward: Uh oh
Under the sea
Under the sea
Nobody beat us, fry us and eat us in fricassee
We what the land folk love to cook
Under the sea we off the hook
We got no troubles
Life is the bubbles
Under the sea (Under the sea)
Under the sea (Under the sea)
Since life is sweet here, we got the beat here
Naturally (Naturalleee)
Even the sturgeon and the ray
They get the urge 'n' start to play
We got the spirit
You got to hear it
Under the sea
Monroe play the flute
Tom play the harp
Flats play the bass
And they soundin' sharp
Bubble Bass play the brass
Fred play the tub
Scooter is the duke of soul
(Yeah)
Larry he can play
The jellyfish on the string
Don rockin' out
Evelyn she sings
Mermaidman and Barnacleboy
They know where it's at
And oh Mrs. Puff blow
Patrick wandered around the singing and dancing fish, looking for SpongeBob. He found him sitting on a rock. Patrick whispered something in his ear and they both ran off.
Squidward: Yeah!
Under the sea (Under the sea)
Under the sea (Under the sea)
When the sardine
Begin to beguine
It's Music to me
What do they got? A lot of sand
We got a hot crustacean band
Each little clam here, know how to jam here
Under the sea
Each little slug here cutin' a rug here
Under the sea
Each little snail here, know how to wail here
That's why it's hotter
Under the water
Yeah were in luck here, down in a muck here
Under the sea
All the fish tipped their fins to SpongeBob, but he was no longer there.
"SpongeBob?" Squidward asked.
All the fish just left.
"Oh, someone has got to nail that guy's feet to the floor."
Just then a police boat pulled up to Squidward. A police officer stepped out.
"Are you Squidward Tentacles?" He asked.
"Yes." Squidward answered.
"Your boss is looking for you."
"Mr. Krabs?"
"He wants to see you right away, something about SpongeBob."
As the boat drove away, Squidward got a panicked look on his face. "He knows." He whispered.
At the Krusty Krab, Mr. Krabs was in front of the counter holding money. Mr. Krabs laughed, "SpongeBob in love." He laughed again at the thought. "Oh, who could the lucky sponge be?" He said assuming SpongeBob was in love with a female sponge. Then he saw Squidward at the front door. "Come in, Mr. Squidward."
"I must stay calm." Squidward quietly said to himself.
He walked to the counter and said, "Yes?" in a high pitched voice.
An obvious sign he was not calm. Then he cleared his throat and said, "Yes, Mr. Krabs?"
"Squidward, I'm concerned about SpongeBob. Have you noticed he's been acting peculiar lately?" Mr. Krabs explained.
"Peculiar? Where have you been for the past few years?" Squidward said, pretending he didn't know anything.
"I'm not talking about peculiar as in normal! I mean peculiar as in moaning about, daydreaming, singing to himself, writing SB+SC on to the patties!" Mr. Krabs lifted up a krabby patty bun and on the patty was "SB+SC" written in ketchup.
"Uh…well...I…uh." Squidward said trying to think of something to say.
"Mr. Squidward."
"Yes?" Squidward said, knowing what was coming.
"I know you've been keeping something from me."
"Uhhh."
"About SpongeBob…in love."
"That's it!" Squidward yelled out loud. "I tried to stop that yellow moron, but did he listen? No! I told him to stay away from land creatures, they are bad, they are trouble…"
"Land creatures? What about land creatures?!"
Squidward then realized the mistake he just made. "Land creatures?" Squidward laughed nervously. "Where did you hear that from?"
Mr. Krabs' claw grabbed Squidward's neck and he forced the truth out of him.
Meanwhile at SpongeBob's pineapple, SpongeBob opened up the secret room and Patrick dragged SpongeBob inside.
"Patrick, can't you just tell me what this is all about?"
Patrick continued to pull SpongeBob along. "You'll see. It's a surprise."
SpongeBob was surprised to see the same Sandy statue from before.
"Oh Patrick, oh Patrick you're the best!"
SpongeBob hugged Patrick and ran over to the statue.
"It looks just like her, it even has her beautiful eyes. "
When SpongeBob was attempting to kiss the statue, he saw Mr. Krabs standing in front of the stairs with an angry look on his face. Squidward was hiding in the stairs and Patrick and Gary hid too, knowing this was not going to be pretty.
"Ahhh! Mr. Krabs!" SpongeBob shouted.
"I said certain rules, and I expect those rules to be obeyed."
"But Mr. Krabs, I-"
"Is it true, you rescued a squirrel from drowning?"
"I had to…"
"Contact between dry land and Bikini Bottom is strictly forbidden. SpongeBob, you know that. Everyone knows that. "
"She would've died."
"One less land creature to worry about."
"You don't even know her!"
"Know her? I don't have to know her! They're all the same. Spineless, savage, harpooning fish eating incapable of any feeling…"
"Mr. Krabs, I love her!" SpongeBob gasped at what he just said in front of Mr. Krabs, so was Squidward.
"No! Have you lost your senses completely? She's a squirrel, you're a sponge."
"I don't care." SpongeBob said angrily behind the statue.
"So help me, boy, I'm going to get through to you and if this is the only way, so be it!"
Mr. Krabs started smashing things on the floor and tossing stuff off its shelf.
"No! Stop! Please!" SpongeBob screamed in horror.
Then Mr. Krabs pushed the statue down and it smashed into millions of pieces.
"Nooo!"
SpongeBob broke into tears and started sobbing. Mr. Krabs felt a little bad, but just left. Squidward also felt bad for telling and tried to apologize to SpongeBob.
"Uh, SpongeBob, I…" But SpongeBob didn't want to listen to Squidward. So he, Patrick, and Gary left as SpongeBob continued crying. Unknown to him, he was being watched by Manray and the Dirty Bubble. They casually walked up to him.
"Poor kid, poor sweet kid." Dirty Bubble said. "He has a very serious problem."
"If only there was something we can do." Manray said.
"But there is something."
SpongeBob looked a little scared, "Manray and the Dirty Bubble? What are you doing here?"
"Don't be scared. We represent someone great." The Dirty Bubble answered. "Someone who can make all your dreams come true."
"Just imagine you and your princess." Manray put his arm around the Dirty Bubble. "Together forever." They both said.
They got grossed out and pulled apart.
"I don't understand." SpongeBob said confused.
"Plankton has great power." Manray explain.
SpongeBob was surprised. "Plankton?" SpongeBob couldn't even speak, "I…I couldn't…I…I…just go away!"
"Suit yourself." Dirty Bubble said as he and Manray were leaving.
"That was only a suggestion." Manray said as he kicked a piece of the statue next to SpongeBob, he looked at it and did some thinking.
"Wait!" He called to them.
"Yes?" The both answered.
Outside SpongeBob's house Squidward, Patrick, and Gary were standing outside talking.
"Hmm." Patrick wondered out loud, "I have an idea. I'll be right back."
The others watched him leave.
"Meow" Gary said sadly.
"I didn't mean to tell, it was an accident." Squidward explained.
They both saw SpongeBob following Manray and the Dirty Bubble. Squidward walked up to him, "SpongeBob, what do you think you're doing with them?"
SpongeBob just kept walking and coldly said, "I'm going to see Plankton."
Squidward was shocked at what he said. "SpongeBob, are you crazy?!" Squidward was holding onto SpongeBob's ankles, trying to get him to stop. But SpongeBob just shook him loose and snootily said, "Then why don't you go tell Mr. Krabs, since that's all you're good at."
"But, I…come on!" He signaled Gary to follow him.
