On the Run

"Ah, what a wonderful day in Bikini Bottom. It looks like SpongeBob and Patrick are in Jellyfish Field. Yet again SpongeBob and his best friend, Patrick are temping to catch another jellyfish."

"La La La" sang SpongeBob. He skipped along behind a swimming jellyfish.

"SpongeBob. It's almost noon." said Patrick. He stared at his crayon drawing of a watch on his wrist.

"You know what that MEANS!" said SpongeBob with a big smile across his face. He was ready to jump in the air for excitement. "Wait for it…"

Patrick starting to get nervous. "Uh…uh…Can I have a hint?" He started to fiddle with his fingers.

"Two words. Mail……" SpongeBob moving his hands in forward circle motions.

"Mail……" Patrick said slowly. He was thinking real hard "Uh…I…uh" Then the first word came to his mind. "…Ice cream?" said Patrick showing a small smile.

"Ah, never mind Patrick. Lets see what the mailman brought us today."

.: SpongeBob SquarePants :.

When SpongeBob and Patrick returned back to their homes, the mailman was in front of SpongeBob's pineapple house. SpongeBob saw that the mailman was carrying a stack of mail. He screamed for joy. "Patrick LOOK! The mailman is HERE, and at MY house!"

SpongeBob couldn't hold back his theme song. That song was the mailman song.

Mailman. Mailman. You brought some mail for me today? Mailman. Mail-

The mailman slapped his fin over SpongeBob's mouth to make him stop. The sad thing was that the mailman has been listening to this annoying song ever since he got hired. "Please SpongeBob. Never sing that song again." then a thought popped into his head. "Why didn't I think of this along time ago?!"

"You know what SpongeBob…I QUIT! YOU CAN TO GET A DIFFERENT GUY TO DELIEVER YOUR MAIL FROM NOW ON!!" screamed the mailman running down the street. He screamed in joy.

SpongeBob stood there speechless. His mouth was hanging open.

"What's his problem?" said Patrick trying to have a serious look on his face.

"I…don't know? Well, anyways lets see what I got in the mail." SpongeBob said. He had already gotten over the whole situation with the mailman. He looked through the mail. What caught his eye was that there was a letter from his cousin, SpongeDude GreedyPants. SpongeDude is the cooler version of SpongeBob, himself. SpongeBob has heard so many stories about him.

One story was that one time SpongeDude beaten up the toughest bullies there was. He had beaten up Flance, the Strangler and the people of the Salty Spa tune. SpongeBob even heard rumors that SpongeDude beat Sandy Cheeks at arm wrestling. SpongeBob had always looked up to his cousin, he had always dreamed of being just like him. But, he hasn't seen SpongeDude for a long time that he forgot what he looked like.

Before entering his pineapple home, he said goodbye to Patrick.

.: SpongeBob SquarePants :.

When entering through the door his pet snail Gary cried. "Meow".

"Guess what Gary. I got a letter from cousin SpongeDude Greedypants. Lets see what he wrote." SpongeBob ripping the letter wide open.

Dear cousin SpongeBob,

It has been a while since I last saw you. Cousin, I need your help. I'm planning to come and stay at your place for a while. I did something bad and I'm on the run. And oh yeah, SpongeBob can you kept it on the down low. That means don't tell anyone.

Later. SpongeDude.

SpongeBob was so excited that his favorite cousin was coming. He totally had forgotten about the whole 'bad' thing his cousin mention. He screamed for joy. "WOO-HOO!"

Gary looked up at SpongeBob. He saw SpongeBob was standing in shock mood. "Gary, I don't know what to wear. I'm not that cool enough to even be seen by him. I mean, look at me."

Seeing SpongeBob dressed in his Krusty Krab uniform that he wears everyday. With the white collared shirt and red tie. Wearing his short brown pants, black shining shoes, with long white socks. "I think I need to buy some cooler clothes."

"Meow" Gary said. He crawled back to the kitchen to finish his snail food that he started eating earlier.

What SpongeBob didn't know was that his cousin was on the run. He was on the run from state prison for identity theft.

.: SpongeBob SquarePants :.

Later, at the mall SpongeBob spotted a wig store in the far corner where nobody goes. SpongeBob walked inside the store and to see there were so many different types of wigs. He thought it was like a dream come true.

"SO MANY WIGS! But which one will make me look cool like cool cousin SpongeDude? Hmmm."

"May I help you sir?" asked the store clerk.

"Yeah, what hippest cool style you have?" said SpongeBob trying to act all cool.

"Right this way." The sales clerk led SpongeBob to the front window. In the window display there was a style wig that was black. It was completely shining. "This one might be the one you're looking for."

"Was it really worn by the King of Rock himself?" asked SpongeBob looking at the price tag with huge sparkly eyes. Price tag: $5.00

The store clerk thought he would actually buy the wig if he said yes. "Um, YES it was worn by the King of Rock himself." Though he didn't know who the King of Rock was.

SpongeBob got really excited that he was going to wear the 'coolest' wig. "I'll take it!"

After buying the wig, the store clerk thought that guy need some help. Serious help. Still the store clerk was happy that he got his first buyer in the last 2 years.

Just before SpongeBob was about to leave, the store clerk gave him some advice. "Hey, make sure you get some cologne with that." He began to snicker, but SpongeBob didn't get it. Neither does us.

.: SpongeBob SquarePants :.

So after leaving the store SpongeBob stopped by the food court to see Patrick.

"Hey SpongeBob, look what I got over there!" SpongeBob looked where Patrick was pointing. The store was Sea Bottom Clothes Store. SpongeBob was wondering if he can get some clothes that were cool. Also SpongeBob was wondering what Patrick got there.

"Hey Pat, what did you get there anyway?" Patrick turned toward SpongeBob and showed him what he got.

"Pretty snazzy huh?" said Patrick opening the bag. SpongeBob looked inside but he was surprise by what he saw. Inside the bag was a pair of shorts that looked exactly like the one Patrick was wearing right now.

"They were on sale for $35.95!" Patrick showing SpongeBob the price tag.

SpongeBob suddenly realized something. "Hey Patrick, What time is it?" Patrick looked at his watch. It was the small watch and same time Spongebob had asked earlier.

"Uh, it's almost noon." said Patrick taping the 'watch' on his wrist.

"Oh NO! He might already be waiting at my house!" SpongeBob quickly wave Patrick goodbye and left. His cousin would be coming any time soon. So after leaving the mall, SpongeBob rushed home to meet his cousin.
