In the Krusty Krab; Mr. Krabs was cooking some krabby patties in annoyance.
"Where the barnacles is Spongebob? He should have been here this morning." said Mr Krabs.
He looked outside and saw that a line was all the way to Antarctica.
"Unusual." said Mr Krabs.
Squidward poked his head in the kitchen.
"He's at a frycooks convention." said Squidward.
Mr Krabs became shocked.
"Frycooks convention?" said Mr Krabs.
Squidward pulled out a post card that had a picture of the Statue of Liberty and gave it to Mr Krabs.
"This just came today." said Squidward.
Mr Krabs looked at the post card.
"Dear Mr Krabs, enjoying the frycooks convention happening in New York City, wish you were hear, Spongebob." Mr Krabs read.
The crab sighed.
"How could I have forgotten about it?" said Mr Krabs.
Flashback
In Mr Krab's office two days ago; Mr Krabs was counting his money as Spongebob entered.
"Mr Krabs, I need some time off due to being invited to a frycooks convention and-"Spongebob said before being interrupted by Mr Krabs.
"Yeah sure, take all the time you need boy." said Mr Krabs.
Spongebob chuckled.
"Thanks." Spongebob said before leaving the office.
End Flashback
Mr Krabs started crying.
"How am I so easily distracted by money?" said Mr Krabs.
He then sighed.
"I need a new Fry Cook." said Krabs.
"What about Bobby Santiago?" said Squidward.
Mr Krabs became confused.
"Who?" said Mr Krabs.
Squidward sighed.
"Roberto Alejandro Martinez-Millan Luis Santiago. Jr, he's been working here for months now." said Squidward.
Mr Krabs was still confused.
"Who?" said Mr Krabs.
Then Bobby entered the resturant and pulled out a time card before punching in to work.
"Whoo, school is becoming a bitch." said Bobby.
He then saw Squidward.
"Hey Squidward. I heard your Clarenett music and your getting good." said Bobby
Squidward chuckled.
"I know I am." said Squidward.
Mr Krabs groaned.
"Am I the only one who doesn't pay attention to all the going on's around here?" said Mr Krabs.
"Yes. Yes you do." said McFist who walked by
Mr Krabs sighed.
"I've got to pay more attention." said Mr Krabs.
Bobby then put on his Krusty Krab hat.
"So how's Spongebob doing at the convention?" said Bobby.
Squidward smiled.
"He's doing good, so am I." said Squidward.
"Okay, enough chit chat, we've got work to do." said Mr Krabs.
He walked in his office, but poked his head out.
"Bobby, a word with you?" said Mr Krabs.
Bobby nodded and went to the office.
"Yes sir?" said Bobby.
"Why did you start working here?" said Mr Krabs.
"Well it started out as a mentorship deal under Spongebob's wing, but then it became a full time deal." said Bobby.
Mr Krabs sighed.
"That would explain having to give out three paychecks everyweek." said Mr Krabs.
Bobby nodded.
"Anyways, due to Spongebob being gone for who knows how long. I'm going to need you to take over all his shifts." said Mr Krabs, "That means showing up every morning as well."
Bobby became shocked.
"Wait, every morning? But I've got school." said Bobby.
"Does it look like I care? This is going to be our most busiest week ever, so we'll need all hands on deck." said Mr Krabs, "Besides, I'm going to making tons of money off of this week."
"But my school work-"Bobby said before being interrupted by Mr Krabs.
"I got that covered." said Mr Krabs.
He then walked out of the office with Bobby where Huey, Dewey, and Louie were standing on each other and Huey was on top his two siblings and putting on a trench coat.
"I'm Bobby Santiago." said Huey.
Bobby is shocked.
"That'll never work; three ducks who sound like very famous people won't be able to pass off as me." said Bobby.
Mr Krabs chuckled.
"Yes they will." said Mr Krabs.
"When're we getting paid?" Louie said from under the coat.
"The guy's a cheapskeat, he'll never pay us." said Dewey.
Huey then farted.
"OH GROSS!" yelled Dewey.
"Yeah that was the chili burrito I had for lunch." said Huey.
"Don't go telling us that." said Louie.
Krabs looked at Bobby.
"Then again." He said.
The crab shook his head.
"Anywho; just report here every morning to take over Spongebob's shifts so that I'll only have to write two paychecks and three nephews of a nightclub co manager will be you for however long it takes." said Mr Krabs.
"The ducks are also the nephews of the richest duck in Duckberg." said Squidward.
Mr Krabs became shocked.
"What?" said Mr Krabs.
"Yeah, they're the live in nephews of nighclub co manager Donald Duck and of Scrooge McDuck; the richest duck in Duckberg. If they found out what you were doing, it wouldn't be pretty." said Bobby.
Krabs nodded.
"Good point." He said. "Maybe we can clone you."
Bobby became confused.
"You've got a cloning machine?" said Bobby.
"No, it was just a suggestion." said Mr Krabs, "I'm not about to lose some money for a machine that any genius could make."
"You're no genius, Scrooge is." said Squidward.
Huey then removed the coat and he and Dewey climbed off their brother.
"Yeah he's right, Uncle Scrooge got his name by being smarter then the smartest and tougher then the toughest." said Dewey.
"But I do have a idea." said Huey and took a camera out and a picture of Bobby appeared and it turned into Bobby.
The teenager became confused.
"Where did you get that camera?" said Bobby.
"Gyro Gearloose." said Huey.
Bobby nodded.
"I see." said Bobby.
Mr Krabs chuckled.
"Looks like I'll be making more money and not giving more money this week." said Mr Krabs, "Me prayers have been answered."
