Gone two

Chapter 1: Missing?

A sunny morning in Bikini Bottom. Every citizen in this town was busy doing the exact same thing. Packing. Packing up to leave the town for "National No Spongebob

Day" That one day of the year where the people of Bikini Bottom leaves the yellow porous sponge we all know and love. Spongebob Squarepants. It was that day

precisly and while a certain Bikini Bottomite was packing, a doleful octopus by the name of Squidward was packing, and he noticed something. "Hmmm...strange..."

Squidward mumbled to himself. "No noise. No horn alarm, no high pitched giggling...in fact no sign if Spongebob whatsoever..." He did not let his guard down though.

He was very sure that any second Spongebob would come bursting in at any given moment. Every three seconds or so Squidward stopped to listen and look around
for his little yellow headache, as he would call him. Squidward was at his front door, suitcase in tentacle, and still no Spongebob. Squidward took no chances. Before he
left, he looked through the windows of Spongebob's pineapple house. No lights. No TV on. Nothing...Nothing but pure silence.

Squidward scratched his head in curiosity, but did not care after that. He then left the neighborhood and went to a bus stop where about the entire population of

Bikini Bottom was there waiting to leave. "Squidward! Where ya been lad? You're usually the first one here." said Mr. Krabs. A money-loving crustacean, owner and

founder of the Krusty Krab, home of the Krabby Patty. Mr. Krabs was also Spongebob and Squidward's boss. "I normally would've been here already if Spongebob was

there to wake me up with that blasted alarm. But he isn't" said Squidward. "How's that?" Krabs asked almost confused. "I said...Spongebob is no where to be seen."

said Squidward. "Hopefully he'll stay that way..."

"Ah...I'm sure the boy's around here jellyfishin' or something." said Mr. Krabs with barely any worry. "Whatever..." Squidward said in is 'I don't care tone.' Soon a fellow
by the name of Patrick Star came to the scene. Patrick was Spongebob's very best friend but even he was attending the 'No Spongebob' festivities. "Hi Squidward!!" he
said in a very loud voice which almost permanently damaged his eardrums. "Patrick!!" Squidward yelled. "You almost permanently damaged my eardrums." (Hey I just

said that...what gives!? lol) "Sometimes I think you're about 30 times more annoying than Spongebob. Speaking of that, have you seen him?" "Yes..." Patrick said but

then went silent. "Patrick..." Squidward said. "What?" "Where is Spongebob?" the octopus asked. "I don't know?" the slow starfish replied. "But you said you saw

him!" "Well duh I've seen him." Pat said. "He's my best friend...I see him about everyday..." "I meant TODAY YOU BARNICLE-HEAD!!" Squidward shouted which caused

everyone else to become silent. "Nope not today..." Patrick said. "Why?" "Because he is MISSING!!" Squidward shouted. Everybody heard this (who couldn't? XD)

"Ummm..." Squidward said laughing nervously because everyone's attention was on him. "Wait a sec..." said a random fish in the crowd. "Spongebob Squarepants is

missing? As in disappeared...vanished...basically gone?" "Uh...yeah..." Squidward said with his arms crossed. "Then apparently we got packed up for nothing..." said a
female fish. "At least we don't have to deal with Squarepants in our hometown." said Squidward. Soon he looked up. "He's not here to bug us..." Squidward began to

laugh almost maniacally. "He's gone!! YES!!WHOO-HOO!!" Squidward was running off into the hills by now. Then everyone looked at each other and smiled. Soon, they

were cheering because Spongebob was not there to bother them any more. When the crowd was acting like maniacs, as if they were at a huge party. Unaware to the crowd, a strange pair of eyes from a mysterious red fish dressed in black was watching them from behind a rock...
