Nicktoons Unite: Turning the Tables

2: 𝔖𝔦𝔩𝔢𝔫𝔠𝔢

Danny POV

     That's weird, Spongebob is never late. He is always on time. Always. I looked back at my phone to double-check the day and time. Yup, Wednesday, 5:09 pm. I scooted over to the other side of my bed. I pulled out the top drawer and started rummaging through it. When I finally found the communicator Jimmy built for us, I quickly checked Spongebob's messages to see if he left any messages. Nothing.

     Maybe something came up and he can't come, but he would've left a message or at least told me in some way. I know Spongebob, he wouldn't just leave without any notice. It might not be a big deal but I can't help but worry. I decided to ask the others if they'd heard from Spongebob. Maybe Spongebob messaged them. "Nothing happened. Everything is fine, maybe Mr Krabs made him do overtime..." I tried to reassure myself.

Jimmy POV

     It was a normal Thursday. Nothing new happened exactly. I was busy adding some new updates to Goddard when suddenly Sheen busted down the door. Before I could yell at him for almost breaking down my door, the sound of an alarm filled my ears. "WE ARE UNDER ATTACK BY ALIENS JIMMY!!! WE NEED TO HIDE!!!" Sheen screamed as he ducked under a nearby table. I shook my head, "No Sheen, that's just my alarm" I told him. He replied with an 'Oooohhhhh' and crawled out of the table. I checked the clock on my wall, and 4:55 pm showed. I went upstairs to search for my phone.

     I found it in the living room. I quickly checked what alarm I decided to set up. "Jumpin' Jupiter!", Spongebob is coming over! I completely forgot! "What's wrong Jimmy? Did the aliens come this time?" Sheen asked as he walked behind me. "Uhh not exactly Sheen, I'm expecting someone. Gotta blast!" I said as I ran back into my lab.

     I went back downstairs and quickly checked the portal to see if it was still in good shape. Yup, ready to go. While waiting for Spongebob, I tried finishing up Goddard. When Spongebob arrives, he can help me with Goddard too, or maybe help me clean up the lab. It's been a mess these days. When I finally finished, I switched Goddard back on. He gave me a happy bark when I petted him. "Wait, how long have I been working?" I asked myself. I looked back at the clock, 5:30 pm. Spongebob didn't show up. He is always on time so I knew if he was late, that means he was not coming.

     Such a shame, I wonder what kept him from coming. I mentally scolded myself for not checking the communicator beforehand, he always messages if he wasn't gonna come over. He even apologises for it. I looked around for the communicator, I almost gave up if it wasn't for Goddard who came to me with it in his mouth. "Good boy," I said as I petted him. I quickly opened the messages and realised I didn't receive any message from Spongebob. Strangely enough, I received a message from Fenton yesterday.

     I found this very unusual, especially from Spongebob. I quickly replied.
