Spongebob was following the footprints carefully; to make sure he didn't miss any. Squidward was watching this from his house and laughing. It couldn't get better! Spongebob and Patrick were wearing ridiculous outfits and searching for their little rabbit, when even Squidward had no idea where he had gone! Tomorrow would be the best Easter ever!

Spongebob followed the prints until they stopped. He didn't see any in the distance, so he kept walking forward until he came to a large cliff. His first instinct was to climb it and look for Jimmy from up there, but he dismissed the idea when he saw a cave. He stepped cautiously into the cave and investigated with his flashlight. Suddenly, the walls around him started to tremble, and a rockslide from the top of the cliff blocked the cave entrance! Spongebob ran over and tried to move the rocks but it was no use. He decided to tell Patrick to go get help.

"Patrick! Patrick? Do you read me?" Spongebob asked. Patrick's walkie talkie must have a jam, because Spongebob heard Patrick confronting a fish.

"OK ma'am, have you seen Jimmy?" he asked.

"Why, I'm married to a Jimmy." She answered.

"Oh you sick person!" Patrick yelled in rage. "Why would you marry my rabbit?" Spongebob eagerly listened for more, but all he heard after that was static. He sighed. All there was left to do was see where the cave went. Spongebob walked through the cave until he reached a ledge. He was too busy paying attention to the walls of the cave, that he stepped right off the ledge. He was falling quickly, and it didn't look like he would be done any time soon. He grabbed some of the rope from his shoulder bag and a hook, and swung it up onto the cave ceiling. He was safe as long as he held onto the rope. He tried to climb the rope to freedom, but he was too weak.

"Spongebob, Spongebob, do you read?" came the reassuring voice of Patrick over the walkie talkie.

"I can't really talk now Patrick; I'm trapped inside a cave!"

"No Spongebob, you don't need to shave!"

"No, I said I'm trapped inside a cave!"

"You're trapped inside a cave!? What are you talking to me for!?"

"Patrick, just go back to your rock and follow the prints until they stop. I'll guide you from there!" Spongebob said, his hands starting to slip. "And Hurry!"

Spongebob let go of the rope with one hand and reached for his flashlight, which he now realized he had dropped when he fell. He reached into his bag for anything else useful. All he found was some extra rope, his whip, and a hook or two. He firmly grasped the rope with both hands. He had no hope of ever escaping this cave. He would die here, may it be of hunger, or letting go of the rope.

"OK Spongebob, the tracks have ended."

"Keep going forward until you get to a big cliff."

"OK, I'll be there soon!"

"See you then." Spongebob answered weakly. The few minutes it took for Patrick to reach the cave felt like hours. Eventually, Spongebob heard the hopeful sound of Patrick's voice.

"What next?"

"See if you can find any cave exits on the other side."

"OK" Spongebob waited eagerly for the chance that there may be another exit.

"Nope" Spongebob was on the verge of tears.

"OK buddy, you were always a good friend. Remember me as I was. Could you do one last thing for me?" All Spongebob heard in response was a loud bawling noise.

"Patrick, could you try to climb the cliff and see if you can see Jimmy from the top?"

"Can do buddy!" Patrick sniffled as he began to climb.
