SpongeBob sighed. "What does it take for a sponge guy to just get out of here?"

"I have no idea," Dukey said.

"Everything," Susan said.

"Let's just go to that bus station over there," Johnny said.

"Only to find a bus that will just screw with us again and never let us on? I don't think so," Dukey said.

"We're not going to a bus station. And this time, it's going to have to let us on," Mary said, walking towards the vending machine that Dukey was messing with earlier.

Mary did the same thing Dukey did. She reached towards the vending machine, and the bus came as a result. However, the bus just kept going when Mary pulled back.

"Wow, it doesn't work anymore?" Mary said.

"This doesn't make any sense at all," Susan said. "It worked before."

"Isn't it possible for you guys to go back to wherever you came from and come back with something that will help me with getting out of here?" SpongeBob asked.

"Wow, why didn't we think of that before?" Dukey said.

"No idea. Anyways, let's go," Johnny said. "We'll be back in a second, SpongeBob."

Everyone except SpongeBob went back to the lab in Porkbelly, got a pair of rocket shoes, and went back to Rock Bottom.

Susan gave the pair of the rocket shoes to SpongeBob. "These will lift you out of here."

"Yeah, they sure will," SpongeBob said with optimism as he put them on. After he put them on, he asked, "So…how do I turn them on?"

"They're activated by voice commands," Susan said.

"Voice commands?"

"Yeah," Mary said. "Just tell it to turn on, then it will lift you."

"Okay," SpongeBob said. He looked at the rocket shoes. "Rocket shoes, get me out of here."

Flames came from the rocket shoes and they gave SpongeBob more and more altitude. "Yeah! It's working!" SpongeBob exclaimed.

However, it didn't work. The rocket shoes ran out of fuel before SpongeBob could get to the top of the cliff, and as a result, they stopped working, and SpongeBob started falling. "Aaaaaaaahh!" SpongeBob screamed.

He crashed onto the ground. "I'm okay," he said, and he actually was somehow okay.

"I know that those rocket shoes had the maximum amount of fuel in them," Susan said.

"It's not enough though, and rocket shoes can only hold so much," Mary said.

"It's time for Plan B," Johnny said.

Johnny tried to think of a good Plan B, but he couldn't. He said, "Anyone have any ideas?"

"What about a trampoline?" SpongeBob asked.

"Not bad," Dukey said.

Everyone except SpongeBob went back to the lab and brought back a super-trampoline that launches objects and people 14 times higher than a normal trampoline, according to the twins.

The trampoline was placed onto the ground. "Are you ready?" Johnny asked.

"Yeah, I am definitely ready," SpongeBob said with an optimistic tone. He jumped onto the trampoline, but once again, this was a failed plan.

That was because he didn't go flying up in the air as expected. When SpongeBob jumped onto it, he ripped through the trampoline.

Everyone just stared at the ripped trampoline for a moment. Then SpongeBob said, "Come on! I'm not even fat."

A bus came to the bus stop.

"Oh, no way," Johnny said. "It's just going to take off when you are really close to getting on it. Don't even try to get on it."

"You know what? I call this Plan C. I'm going to try to get on that frickin' bus," SpongeBob said, emphasizing the word 'fricking'.

"And fail," Susan added.

SpongeBob went towards the bus. This time, unbelievably, it actually let SpongeBob on and it took him up the 90-degree hill to Bikini Bottom without a problem.

The Test kids and Dukey just stared at the top of the cliff in disbelief. Then they said, "Wow…Seriously?"

"I think we all had enough of this episode today," Mary said, pulling out the remote and sending Johnny, Susan, Dukey, and herself back to their house in Porkbelly.

STORY ENDED.

Author's note: Well that was the end of my fanfiction. I apologize for ending the story so early and making it anti-climactic as a result. The reason why I did that was because I couldn't think of a way for the story to go to anywhere interesting after Chapter 2. I hope there wasn't too much disappointment, and maybe I'll get better with the next story I'll write in the future.

Also, thank you for all of your support.
