Cinematic Adventures: The Spongebob Squarepants Movie

The Dream

We begin our story under calm blue waters, near the beautiful green island of Bikini Atoll. Beneath those tropical seas, we find the town of Bikini Bottom, a peaceful place where everyone is happy and-

Wait a minute! Hold your sea horses!

Things were usually happy in Bikini Bottom, but on this day, panic ensued across the streets. Sirens wailed; frightened fish swam in all directions. Police helicopters buzzed over the town; squad cars blocked the intersections. The situation was so bad, classes at the school of fish were cancelled!

Really?

Oh, come on! You try doing a joke about fish! See how easy that is!

In front of the Krusty Krab restaurant, a crowd had gathered. Mr. Krabs, the owner, was talking to the reporters. They clustered around, waving microphones under his nose, pressing cameras into his face.

"Can you tell us what is happening, Mr. Krabs?" A young Daily Clam reporter asked.

"Wait! Please settle down," Mr. Krabs said, waving his claws. "One question at a time. Please! One at a time!"

"The people of Bikini Bottom want to know – What's going on inside?" Perch Perkins, Bikini Bottom's favorite newsman, asked.

"We've got a situation in there that I'd rather not talk about until my manager gets here."

Suddenly, a sleek black sports car pulled up to the curb.

"Look!" Mr. Krabs cried. "There he is!"

All eyes – and eyestalks – turned to see SpongeBob SquarePants step out from the car. His face was somber, his eyes hidden behind sunglasses. In his hand, the determined sponge carried an important looking briefcase.

"It's SquarePants!" A fish cried out, with awe.

After SpongeBob stepped out the car, proceeding to walk towards Mr. Krabs, a few other creatures swam out from behind him: Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo, all wearing sunglasses and business suits. They swam beside SpongeBob, as he approached Mr. Krabs and tore off his sunglasses.

"Talk to me, Krabs," He said, in a commanding tone.

"It started out as a simple order," Mr. Krabs sobbed. "A Krabby Patty with cheese."

"What went wrong?" Scootaloo asked.

"When the customer took a bite-" Mr. Krabs choked, sobbing. "-there was no cheese! No cheese on the sandwich! This has never happened before!"

Mr. Krabs broke down, covering his eyestalks with his claws and sobbed. SpongeBob slapped him on the snout.

"Get ahold of yourself, Eugene," SpongeBob said. "Agent Bloom, what's the status on the restaurant?"

"Restaurant's secure sir," Apple Bloom responded. "Target is just inside that there door."

"Agent Belle, any others inside the restaurant?"

"None at all, sir," Sweetie Belle responded.

"We're going in."

Mr. Krabs stopped crying, sighing with relief. SpongeBob turned and faced the restaurant. Reporters and innocent bystanders backed away under his stern gaze. The crowd parted, making a path for him – a path leading to the front door of the Krusty Krab.

When SpongeBob and the CMC boldly entered the restaurant, the dining room was deserted. Except for one very frightened fish sitting alone at a table. On a tray before him sat a Krabby Patty with a single bite missing. Fearlessly, SpongeBob SquarePants approached the anxious fish.
