Cinematic Adventures: The Spongebob Squarepants Movie

Onward to Shell City

As the day continued, business began to boom at the Krusty Krab 2. Mr. Krabs was on the lookout for new customers, spying on the town with a periscope. It was the start of a very busy day for the finest restaurant in Bikini Bottom... The second finest since the original. At this moment, Mr. Krabs was teaching Squidward all the tricks of becoming a manager.

"Now, pay attention, Squidward," Mr. Krabs informed. "As new manager, you've gotta keep a sharp eye out for paying customers."

"Yawn," Squidward spoke sarcastically.

As Mr. Krabs peered through the periscope, an enlarged light cerulean eye was caught in his sights.

"Mr. Krabs?" A squeaky voice asked.

Mr. Krabs gasped like a girl, dropping the periscope. In that moment, the office door swung open as six very anxious sea ponies, along with a pufferfish, swam inside.

"Mr. Krabs, we need to speak to you!" Twilight said urgently.

"Sorry missy," Krabs responded. "There's a talking fee of about five bucks."

Rainbow Dash growled, swimming toward the greedy crab and spun him around. She grabs him with her hooves and pins him against the wall with great force. The way the seapony snarled made Mr. Krabs utterly terrified.

"I think you can make an exception for us, don't you?" She growled angrily.

"Uh... No problem, me dear," Krabs nodded quickly.

Rainbow put the frightened restaurant owner down, before swimming back toward the rest of her friends while trying to cool off.

"Ya alright there, Dash?" Applejack asked concerned.

"Yeah sure," Rainbow huffed. "Sometimes that Krabs makes me wanna hit something... Preferably him."

"Well... I didn't wanna say nothin', but... I kinda felt the same."

"I'm really sorry about my friend, Mr. Krabs," Twilight apologized. "But have you seen Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, or Scootaloo?"

"No why?" Mr. Krabs asked.

"They never returned to SpongeBob's home last night," Rarity stated worriedly. "We are ever so worried about them."

"Well, where did ye leave 'em last?"

"Last time we saw them, we left them to hang with SpongeBob and Patrick," Spike answered. "We were meeting them at Goofy Goobers, and they promised they'd look out for them."

Squidward snorted slightly, which drew their attention towards him.

"Well, there's your problem right there," He chuckled. "You left them with two of the biggest idiots in the entire town. If I had to guess, they're probably lost in the Kelp Forests... Again."

This made the girls very nervous, the possibility that the three little fillies were lost in this huge ocean was a terrifying thought. Mr. Krabs just shrugged Squidward off.

"Ah don't pay any attention to Squidward now," He assured. "I'm sure they'll turn up somewhere."

He returns to his periscope, keeping a close watch for more customers. Suddenly, something caught his attention.

"What's this?" He asked.

His eyes were not deceiving him: There he was, King Neptune, riding a carriage pulled by a pack of sea horses. Next to the king himself sat his only daughter, Princess Mindy.

"King Neptune is riding right toward the Krusty Krab at lunchtime!"

"Uh-huh," Squidward mumbled, unimpressed.
