Beauty and the Squid

Chapter Five: Squilliam!

Not long after the Phantom and Maddie's departure, the door to (Y/N)'s cell suddenly opened. But (Y/N) had seen no one come by so she was unsure

"Forgive my intrusion, mademoiselle but I have come to escort you to your room," a high-pitched, childish voice said.

(Y/N) grabbed a stool, ready to defend herself, "My room? But I thought..."

"Oh, what? That 'once this door closes it will not open again'?" the voice imitated a growl, "I know. He gets so dramatic."

(Y/N) finally saw who was talking. It was the sea sponge, hanging onto the lever that opened the cell door.

"HeIIo!" The sea sponge said, struggling to keep hold of the lever

Gasping at the talking ornament, the sea sponge dropped down before it was attacked by the stool (Y/N) was holding. But the sea sponge sat up, shaping itself back to normal

"Oh, you are very strong. This is a great quality," the sea sponge complimented.

"What are you?" (Y/N) asked it

"I am Spongebob Squarepants!"

"And you can talk?

"Well, of course, he can talk," an old, pirate voice said coming from the stairs. It was the crab

"It's all he ever does," the crab took a breather before walking over to Spongebob, "Now, Spongebob, as head of the household, I demand that you put her back in her cell at once."

(Y/N) went back into her cell to grab a metal jug.

"What do you want to be for the rest of your life, Mr. Krabs? A man, or a crab figurine?" Spongebob whispered to Mr. Krabs before looking back at (Y/N) who was holding the jug, "Ready, miss?"

Spongebob stood up, starting to lead (Y/N) and Mr. Krabs to her new room in the East Wing. Unsure of what to do, (Y/N) just followed him. On a bridge from the dungeon to the East Wing, Spongebob continued to talk while (Y/N) held him.

"You must forgive first impressions. I hope you are not too startled," Spongebob said

"Why would I be startled? I'm talking to a sponge," (Y/N) said, showing how ridiculous the concept was.

"Sea Sponge, please. Enormous difference," Spongebob informed her, "But consider me at your service. The castle is your home now so feel free to go anywhere you like."

"Except the West Wing," Spongebob silently told Mr. Krabs to correct himself, "Which we do not have."

But this got (Y/N) curious, "Why? What's in the West Wing?"

"Oh, nothing," Spongebob said

"Nothing," Mr. Krabs added

"Storage space."

"Storage space."

"That's it."

"That's it."

"Yes, that's it."

"This way, please. To the East Wing."

"Or as I like to call it, the only wing," Spongebob laughed

They continued to walk into the East Wing. Spongebob jumped out of (Y/N)'s hand and opened a door to her new room. Inside was a small but decent-sized room with a ceiling painted like a sky with golden vines coming down from it. It was a truly beautiful room, albeit a little dusty. They all weren't expecting guests for a long time. But a squirrel in a spacesuit flew in, promising to lean up her room. Not before flying down to her lover, Spongebob, to be all lovey-dovey together for a quick moment. In the moment, it was revealed that her name was Sandy.
