'Thoughts'

"Spoken"

"phone call Squidward/SpongeBob"

"Phone call SpongeBob's cousin"

Last time:

"Well alright. But please please by the other brand of detergent we use this time because I don't know why but this one is slightly irritating." Said Squidward.

And so went the conversation the matter of Mr. Krabs completely forgotten from their minds, for the night at least.

Present!

*RIIIIIINNNNNGGGGG* *RIIIIIINNNNNNGGGGGG*

"Good morning squidy! I've got breakfast ready for you!" called SpongeBob as he saw Squidward head towards the bathroom to do his usual morning routine or at least part of it.

"Alright ill just be a minute." Called Squidward as he poked his head out of the bathroom toothbrush in hand.

After that all was quick except for the running water in the bathroom and the gentle humming of SpongeBob in the kitchen as he cleaned up the dishes and the counters making a list in his head of what he had to do today….number one on his list being to go talk to Plankton at the chum bucket.

In the bathroom about 5-10 minutes later, Squidward had by that point finished brushing his teeth and even washed his face and hands. However he was still in the bathroom, why was simple he was afraid, afraid to talk to SpongeBob's cousin.

"Squidy? Are you ok in there? It's been almost 20 minutes since you went in" said SpongeBob as he knocked on the door.

"Yeah sponge im fine! Just thinking about what I have to do today is all!" replied Squidward as he shut off the water and walked to the door of their moderately large bathroom.

As he stepped out of the bathroom and turned to walk to the kitchen, SpongeBob caught his arm and brought him in for a hug.

"Don't worry too much about how she'll react ok? After all it's been years since she last saw you or even talked to her. It'll be ok." SpongeBob said.

Squidward hugged SpongeBob back and rested his head on SpongeBob's.

"I know but it doesn't stop the worrying. What im wondering is how you're ok with talking to plankton of all people for help." Said Squidward.

SpongeBob let go and grabbed his hand as he walked with Squidward to the kitchen.

"I've never really had as many problems with him as you and….others have had. I mean yes it's going to be a little weird given the history but I think he will help especially considering I have a bargaining chip that could help." Replied SpongeBob as he and Squidward entered the kitchen.

Squidward sat down at the table and SpongeBob plated breakfast for the both of them. Squidward was contemplating SpongeBob's last statement, when it came to him.

"Sponge….when you say you have a bargaining chip….you don't mean….the formula do you?" asked Squidward.

"Oh Squidsy that's exactly what I mean." Said SpongeBob as he took a bite of his breakfast.

"That's….pure evil…I LOVE it!" said Squidward as he was eating his own breakfast.

After breakfast the two went to their room and got ready for their day.

SpongeBob's day started with laundry. He gathered it all from the dirty and wrinkled brown shirts and teal pants {the only pants Squidward will wear because they looked invisible when he wore them} socks and underwear and then the ties and his suit shirts and his brown pants. Then he packed it all up into the boat and headed off {he had gotten his boating license a month or so before}. After laundry he had to go grocery shopping and then come home and clean the house then prepare dinner and some were in the day try and meet up with plankton…..possibly around lunch time.

Meanwhile at the same time.

Squidward was going to go to the department store to pick up some paint and wood among other things because he was going to build a porch swing from scratch and then make a call to his Sponge's cousin. He could do this, if only for his love and the fact that he couldn't stand alienation. He grabbed his wallet and headed out to his boat {they had two but they usually only used one since they worked together} he headed off to the department store.

It was a couple hours later before anything really happened.

SpongeBob pulled his boat up in front of The Chum Bucket. He got out and went inside, it was almost lunch time and he was expecting someone to be there he knew The Chum Bucket wasn't popular but he figured at least someone had to eat there. The doors to what SpongeBob thought was the lab blew open and out walked the man he was looking for.

"Hello and welcome to…..oh it's you SpongeBob what do you want?" Plankton started with his arms enthusiastically raised in the air but as he realized it was SpongeBob his arms lowered and his statement became a question.

"Hi Plankton! I just stopped by to see if we could talk for a bit. I have some issues I would like your help on. If you don't mind that is." Replied SpongeBob.

"oh uh sure SpongeBob just step in the back and let me the closed sign up I mean it's not like it would mater." Said Plankton as he walked over to the door and hit the button by it to flip the sign.

"Alright Plankton" replied SpongeBob.

SpongeBob stepped through the double doors that led to the lab which only confirmed SpongeBob's theory from early.

"Hello Karen" said SpongeBob to Planktons computer wife.

"Hello SpongeBob." Karen replied.

Then Plankton walked in and walked over to a table in the corner were SpongeBob fallowed and sat after Plankton had.

"So what can I help you with SpongeBob?" asked Plankton after he had gotten himself seated so he was at least able to see SpongeBob 'sometimes being small stinks.'

"Ok so obviously you know about me and Squidward especially considering..." SpongeBob stopped and made a gesture between himself and Plankton.

"And oh how I love to be reminded of it but do go on." Said Plankton.

"Sorry but we need your help. You see Mr. Krabs called us in and basically harassed information about our relationship from us and we...we tried to deny it but he wouldn't believe us and he pretty much threatened that if we didn't stop he was going to fire us...now I know given our rocky history and your less then pleasant past with Squidward...it might be difficult or even painful to help us but Plankton we could really use your help dealing with...him" said SpongeBob.

"Why should I help and even if I would what could I do?" replied Plankton even though he already had thoughts on what he could do he was after all a scientist and that required some level of genius.

"You should help us because I have the one thing you've wanted since you were a kid at my fingertips. And why else should you help us? Because even if things ended rocky you should still help us. Also how? You can help us by doing something getting a plan or something but Plankton we need you!" said SpongeBob with his big pleading eyes.

"SpongeBob the only thing I've wanted since I was a kid is the Krabby Patty secret formula and I doubt you have access to that and eve if you did I would need help to get any sort of idea of how to help which would mean you two would be forced to play roles that may put a giant strain on you both." Said Plankton.

"Exactly Plankton and who else but the chief to have the recipe memorized? Also we are calling in someone who can help you maybe even in more ways than one who knows." Replied SpongeBob.

"Alright alright alright! If you can get help and write the recipe down exactly ill help you I owe you that much at least." Replied Plankton.

"Oh thank you Plankton! I really appreciate this!" said SpongeBob as he picked Plankton up and gave him a hug.

"Alright SpongeBob put me down and go do what you have to but call me when you get everything, alright?! When you're help and the recipe get here and get done! Now go" said Plankton waving SpongeBob out of The Chum Bucket.

SpongeBob walked out of The Chum Bucket and headed to his boat ready to head back home.

Meanwhile.

'I should call her and get it over with there really is no use in worrying.' Thought Squidward as he picked up the phone and the contact book and flipped to her page.

'Alright so its 8-5-7-9...alright' he thought as he hit the keys on the phone.

"Hello is this kaley?" asked Squidward.

"This is she who am I talking with?" said the voice on the other end of the line.

"Hi Kaley I don't know if you remember me or not but this is Squidward Tentacles, SpongeBob's uh boyfriend I guess." Said Squidward.

"Oh! Hello Squidward! Of course I remember you! One second *no jenny not that one! The other one!* sorry about that so what can I do for you today?" asked Kaley.

"Ok pretty much what happened is our boss Mr. Krabs is basically trying to split us up or he's going to fire us we really could use your help." Replied Squidward.

"I'll be there by dinner Squidward let my cousin know that ill help however I can alright? I have to go back to work, but I'll see you both later. Is there anything you want me to bring?" asked Kaley.

"No no we have everything and we will see you later! Good bye and have a good rest of the day at work." Said Squidward.

"Alright bye now!" Kaley said as she hung up.

'Alright now to start on the porch swing...or maybe call it a lawn swing...since we don't have a porch!' thought Squidward.

A/N alright guys! That's it for this one! Next one will have the fate full second meeting between Kaley and Squidward and the first meeting between Kaley and Plankton what will happen? Who knows?

P.s can anyone guess what I meant when I said things were weird and "things ended rocky"?
