That fish finally finished talking and left us alone. I don't know what it is about citizens from Bikini Bottom but whenever they tell you a story, it is like you're in a trance and you can't do anything to get out of it. And before you know it, 8 hours have passed. We collapsed onto the sandy floor, our legs could barely hold our weight anymore. Even Cozmo and Wanda fell to the floor. We decided to take a break and just sit until we can feel our legs again.
"Did anyone pay any attention to that guy talking?" I asked, hoping for someone to give me a synopsis of the whole story. Jimmy rolled his eyes, "Luckily Turner, I did. A week ago, all the townspeople were supposed to have their daily breakfast at the Krusty Krab but it was closed. They assumed it was closed for the morning so they went on with their day. Unfortunately, the Krusty Krab never opened and the town spiralled out of control without their daily Krabby Patty" he explained. My face turned into a frown, "Wait, so why didn't that reporter just explain it to us the way you did? Why did it take almost eight hours?!" I asked again ad I rubbed my legs trying to get the blood flowing.
"He proceeded to explain every detail of what happened in their daily lives when the Krusty Krab was closed. Some tried to break in but failed," he added. "What happened to the Krusty Krab? Why did it suddenly close?" I asked. "He said he wasn't sure but an inside man that works at the Krusty Krab told him that their fry cook didn't show up for work." Jimmy said in a whispering tone, "Spongebob.." I said. "Exactly," Jimmy said "..but what confuses me is why Mr Krabs didn't call in a new fry cooker? All he cared about was money, so why wouldn't he mind replacing-" "Because he's too good" A voice said. Danny who was quiet the whole time finally spoke, his voice sounds tired. I mean we were all tired. "What do you mean by that Fenton?" Jimmy questioned.
Danny flopped his back onto the sand to get more comfortable, "Spongebob is the only one that can cook the Krabby Patty perfectly. Other fry cookers have tried, but they still can't outmatch Spongebob's way of cooking. So even if Mr Krabs replaces Spongebob, the food won't taste the same. The townsfolk won't be satisfied and another riot will start" Danny casually explains. "How do you know all this?" I asked looking down at the ghost boy. "Spongebob said one time he left Bikini Bottom because he felt like he was not needed, after he left Bikini Bottom went downhill and his friends had to get him back" he explained. I looked over to Jimmy to see what he thought of it, it looked like he had his thinking hat on.
I realised we already wasted eight hours, we need to start looking for Spongebob. I turned to Cozmo and Wanda who were sitting next to me, "Cozmo, Wanda, are you guys done resting?" I asked. "Don't worry Sport, we're well rested. What do you need?" She asked for their wands at the ready. "Turner, please don't-" "I wish we were at Mr Krabs's house," I said. A loud POOF was heard and we were gone.
Danny POV
I was blinded by glitter and dust before my face met with the sandy floor. Jimmy was on the ground next to me while Timmy stood in front of us with his fairies by his shoulders like angels. "Who to question first then none other than the boss himself," he spoke. I and Jimmy pulled ourselves up and glared daggers at Timmy. "This is the third time Turner, one more time and I'll-" "Shhh, what's that sound?" I said. We all listened carefully, from outside the giant anchor house we could hear loud footsteps walking around. They sound very heavy, it must be Pearl. Spongebob says Mr Krabs has a daughter named Pearl who's a whale.
I was about to ask Timmy something when he was blasted back by a water gun. I and Jimmy looked at where the water gun was shot from, "NO PEARL- wAiT! Dont attack! We're harmless!!" I yelled as we got in between her and Timmy. Pearl lowered the water gun she had, "What do you want?" she asked as she fixed her blonde hair. "We came to look for Spongebob. Have you seen him?" Jimmy asked, she frowned as if many people had asked her this question before. "For the last time, how would I know! It's not like he's my boyfriend!" she yelled, "Now get off my property you freaks!!" she stomped the ground making the earth shake, we lost balance and before we fell to the ground she shot the water gun at us. We fell back onto the road soaking wet which makes no sense because we were underwater! Pearl slammed the door shut and I heard the click of the locks.
"Well that went great" Timmy sarcastically said. I frowned at him telling him to shut up. I went ghost and flew through the wall and into the house. Pearl was still at the door when she saw me she just sighed. "Great, a ghost. I knew that weirdo was making weird friends" she stated. "Listen, Pearl, we just want to know where our friend is, we mean no harm," I spoke calmly. She raised a brow, "I'm listening", I landed on the wooden floor a few feet from her "..do you know where Mr Krabs is?" I asked. She groaned, "he is living somewhere near the bank. Ever since Spongebob left he didn't earn any money. So he decided to stay near the one place where there's lots of money". I nodded and thanked her, I flew quickly out of the house and landed next to Jimmy and Timmy.
"Got anything?" Jimmy asked, "Mr Krabs is staying somewhere near the bank.". "Well I'm not gonna question that. What's next?" Timmy asked. "We should visit the bank then." Jimmy replied, "Shouldn't we go ask Squidward and Patrick? Spongebob said his house and Mr Krabs's house aren't that far." I asked, Jimmy, thought about it and nodded "you're right. We can get more clues to where Spongebob went at his house too," he added. "Doesn't he have a snail? Maybe the snail knows where he went!" Timmy said, "I'm not sure, but it's worth the try?" I said.
