Patrick climbed the cliff solemnly, trying to stop the flood of tears flowing from his eyes. He had to focus on saving one friend, though it may cost him another. No, he couldn't think like that. Spongebob had to make it out, he just had to! Patrick had severe trouble climbing the cliff, seeing as he had no climbing gear. He got about half way up before he stepped on a very weak rock, and fell right through into a large, hollow chamber that seemed to be part of a cave. He fell for a few seconds, and when he felt that he would lose himself because of Jimmy, something grabbed him around the ankle and caught him. He was now suspended upside down over a seemingly endless cavern. But who had caught him?
"Spongebob!" Patrick yelled, seeing the Sponge above him.
"Patrick!" Spongebob yelled. The two buddies burst into tears, so happy to see each other. However, their celebration was cut short when Spongebob realized the rope was on the verge of snapping.
"Patrick, we have to try and climb out of this, or die trying!" Spongebob said.
"Let's do it!" Patrick said enthusiastically. Spongebob used all of his strength to swing Patrick over him. Patrick saw that Spongebob was about to let go of the rope, and grasped his hand. Patrick awkwardly inched his way up the rope while hanging onto his buddy. The rope snapped when they were about half of a foot from the top, and Patrick lunged for the ledge, barely grasping it. He swung Spongebob to safety, but his own strength was about to give out. Spongebob quickly grabbed Patrick's mitten-hand and helped him over the ledge. The two friends lay on the cave floor, gasping for air. After about a minute, Spongebob stood up.
"We have to find Jimmy!" he coughed. "Or this whole adventure will be meaningless!" Patrick too stood up.
"Let's go!"
"Slow down Patrick, first we have to find a way out of this cavern!" Suddenly, an idea struck Spongebob.
"I think I still have a hook and rope we can use to climb out of the hole you made!" Spongebob took out the rope and tied it to the hook. He then swung it around his head several times before tossing it up to the cave ceiling, and to their luck, it stuck! Spongebob and Patrick climbed out of the cave one at a time.
"Now, we have to get to the top and find Jimmy!" Spongebob panted. Patrick nodded. They used the last of Spongebob's equipment to climb to the top of the cliff. Spongebob took out a pair of binoculars and surveyed the land below them.
"I see him!" Spongebob yelled. Jimmy was in a cage and being loaded into a truck that said "Pound" on it.
"He's being taken to the pound!"
"We have to get down there fast!" Just then, Patrick had an idea.
"I have an idea Spongebob!" he said. Spongebob was shocked.
"Good for you Patrick!" he applauded.
"You can be happy for me later, right now we have to save my rabbit!" Patrick ran over and grabbed a loose chunk of rock and put it on the cliff edge. He jumped on it and it started sliding down the cliff. Spongebob quickly did the same. The cliff was very bumpy, and staying on the rock was a challenge.
"Not too crazy about this idea!" Spongebob said as they bumped down the cliff.
"Look out, a group of scallops!" Spongebob yelled. Patrick leaped up into the air, bringing his board with him and getting quite a bit of height. Spongebob attempted to do the same, but flew off his rock board and started sliding down the cliff.
Patrick pulled the hook and rope out of the hole they had climbed out of the cave from as he passed by. Patrick grabbed Spongebob as they got to the bottom of the cliff. With his free hand, he swung the hook onto the truck just as it was pulling toward downtown Bikini Bottom. The truck began to pick up speed, pulling Spongebob and Patrick behind it. Before long, it made it onto the streets of Bikini Bottom. Patrick had to leap over fire hydrants and the occasional pedestrian as the truck pulled them swiftly through the streets of Bikini Bottom.
"Patrick, throw me to the truck, I can un-hook the back!" Spongebob cried. Patrick wordlessly threw Spongebob at the truck as if he were a javelin. Spongebob grabbed onto the handle on the back of the truck and unlatched it, swinging it open. Patrick then lunged into the truck and unhooked the rock-board from the truck. Patrick searched through the various snails and snarling worms until he found Jimmy. Patrick ripped the door off of the cage with his bare hands, freeing Jimmy from it. The two buddies jumped out of the truck, and Spongebob swung the door closed and re-latched it before joining Jimmy and Patrick.
"Jimmy! You're safe!" cried Spongebob as he embraced his two friends.
"Yep, safe and sound." Patrick said. They walked back to their houses as the sun set. They walked up to Squidward's house and knocked on the door. It swung open.
"Look who we found!" Spongebob and Patrick cheered simultaneously. Squidward froze, and fainted right there, in his doorway.
"This is going to be the best Easter ever!" Spongebob cheered.
