Squidward's Silent Love (Squidward X Silent! Reader (Broadway version))

Chapter Eleven: Burger Beard

We looked up to see the edge of the ocean floor. Everyone groaned. All this walking for nothing!

"How do you expect us to go up to the surface?!" I asked, "we won't be able breath!"

"All right. All secondary characters, come with me," somebody said walking off with everyone else.

"Yeah, I'm with you guys," I said following them.

"No way Squidward," Mr Krabs said grabbing the back of my shirt, "you're going up there with us."

"My feet hurt," Patrick complained.

"Patrick, you don't have feet," Spongebob told him.

"Well, it's not fair! You have feet. Sandy has feet. (Y/N) has feet. Squidward has feet."

"Actually, I have four feet," I corrected.

Patrick grunted and sat on the floor with his arms crossed.

"It's not about feet," Spongebob told him.

"What is it about then?" I asked.

"It's about being a team and sticking together no matter what."

"The only way we're going up there is if some fairy godmother shows up and helps us breathe air."

On cue, a ball of light floated towards us. It surrounded us and in an instant, the light disappeared forming a crater around us and a dolphin wearing a light blue cape and piece of toilet paper attached to its tail.

"Bubbles!" Spongebob exclaimed in fear.

"Spongebob, you know this guy?" I asked.

Spongebob fell to his knees before Bubbles, "don't hurt us! We're sorry we got you fired!"

"Hurt you?" Bubbles questioned clicking, "why, I travelled back through time to thank you. I've been stuck in that job for eons. I need a change, but I was too afraid to go for it."

"Well, Bubbles, I'm glad we could help." 

"Now, it is my turn to help. I can get you safely to the surface. Now--" Bubbles clicked again, "quick, all of you. Get in my mouth."

"Come on, guys. Let's go." 

"There's no way I'm climbing into some dolphins mouth," I said.

"Yeah, this guy just wants a free lunch," Mr Krabs agreed.

"Guys, if Bubbles has the courage to quit his dead-end nowhere job and travel back through time to help us, then we need to have the courage to--"  Bubbles captured us in his mouth interrupting Spongebob.

So this is how we die. But Spongebob told us that, if Bubbles really wanted to eat us, he'd be chewing us up and we'd go down his throat. There's not a lot of leg-room in here. (Y/N) took my hand and gave it a squeeze. I looked at her to see a worried look on her face so I gave her hand a light squeeze and a reassuring smile. Bubbles' blowhole opened shining sunlight inside his mouth. Bubbles shot us out of his blowhole and hit us with his tail to the shoreline.

I got up and rushed over to (Y/N) making sure she was alright which, thankfully, she was. Bubbles told us that he had done all he could and now the rest was up to us. He said goodbye to Spongebob before flying off to a triangle that suddenly appeared in the sky. Sandy took off her air helmet and breathed in the air. This place honestly smells worse than the Krusty Krab and that's saying something.

But time to continue forward. We wandered through a crowd of creatures that looked like (Y/N) following Spongebob to the secret formula. We went to someone's foot and Patrick and Spongebob asked it where they could find a Patty. Spongebob went behind the foot to see, and I quote, 'a giant hairy Porpoise'. Spongebob told us it was beached and we needed to put it back in the ocean.
