Summer. Warm water where our underwater residents swim. SpongeBob, as always, is grilling patties, Squidward is at the cash register taking orders from unhappy customers, and Mr. Krabs... Wait, where is Mr. Krabs?

We're closing! Mr. Krabs burst into the hall, starting to chase the customers out.

Get out of here!

Come on, finish up and get lost!

Seal the hatches, close the deck!

Mr. Krabs, what's going on? the guys asked in unison.

SpongeBob, Squidward, this is very dangerous. I can't expose you to this.

But what happened?

I'm giving you all a two-week vacation. Now get out of MY RESTAURANT!!!

And is the vacation paid?

Squidward, get out!

Gary, we've got a two-week vacation. I think it would be silly to stay home and do nothing.

Meow.

So, I've decided to enroll in Mrs. Puff's driving school. It's the best school in Bikini Bottom.

Meow.

The lessons start tomorrow. Today, I need to relax and get a good night's sleep so I can be fully ready.

Good morning, Gary! Today is going to be a great day, I'm finally going to start my lessons!

Meow, Gary replied sleepily.

I need to get ready quickly. I don't want to be late for school.

Hello, dear students. My name is Mrs. Puff. This is my boating school.

Good afternoon, Mrs. Puff.

During the lesson, the teacher explained how to press the buttons correctly, how to switch gears, and how not to confuse the gas with the brake. SpongeBob sat, not getting distracted, and listened carefully to everything the teacher said.

We've finished the theory. Now let's move on to the practical part. Bernie, you'll go first.

Phew, at least I can watch how it's done. Don't worry, SpongeBob, you'll do fine.

Bernie had barely sat down at the wheel when he immediately drove onto the bike path and crashed into a pole. Mrs. Puff was angry, but still held it together.

Alright, Bernie, that's enough for today. Come back tomorrow for an extra lesson.

SpongeBob SquarePants, are you here?

Yes, Mrs. Puff, I'm here and ready.

Good, SpongeBob, I'm glad to hear that. Bring me my folder from the office.

Th-the folder? Alright, Mrs. Puff.

SpongeBob waited and waited for his turn. The students were showing good results, and three of them drove well and received their long-awaited driver's licenses.

So, who's left?

Mrs. Puff!

Let's see... Aha, Larry, great, and...

Mrs. Puff!

Alright, it seems that everyone has done well, everyone has passed, and...

MRS. PUFF!!! I'm still here.

Oh, right, SpongeBob, how could I forget about you? Get in the boat and show me everything you've learned today.

SpongeBob got behind the wheel. Mrs. Puff sat next to him with a clipboard, ready to note everything SpongeBob did.

Turn left, great, SpongeBob.

Yes, that's right, a bit smoother.

Roundabout, very good, excellent!

Now, just park the boat.

Okay, Mrs. Puff, right away.

SpongeBob parked the boat exactly where it needed to be. Mrs. Puff's face showed relief — she definitely didn't want to spend another couple of hours teaching SpongeBob. They got out of the boat.

Well, SpongeBob SquarePants, I think you're fully ready. Today, you showed better results than anyone else. Be careful on the road, SpongeBob, these are your licenses.

Mrs. Puff handed him an envelope containing SpongeBob's driver's license.

Are these really my licenses? I've waited for this moment my entire life! Thank you so much, Mrs. Puff, I'll be very careful.

Have a great day, SpongeBob.

SpongeBob was incredibly happy. As soon as he got home, he called his parents to share the news. They were happy to hear it and said they would help with the money for a boat.

The next day, SpongeBob asked Squidward to go with him to the boat shop to buy his long-awaited vehicle. Squidward was happy to hear it and didn't mind helping.

Let's see which of these boats is better.

SpongeBob, the consultant said they're the same, just one is red and the other is white.

Oh, could you take a picture of me with each one? I need to see which one looks better in the photo.

Sigh Alright, I'll do it. Give me your phone.

Take it on yours.

Squidward took a few shots, and SpongeBob decided to go with the red boat. They went to the seller's desk.

Seller! Where's the seller, Squidward? Hello...

Good evening, a small adult woman said in a monotone voice.

Oh, hello! You're so small, I didn't notice you. I want to buy the Ultra-Boat 3000 in red.

That'll be twenty thousand three hundred dollars.

Stepping outside, SpongeBob couldn't contain his joy — his boat was already parked outside.

Squidward, want to take a ride?

With pleasure.

Wow, we've got a full tank! How about we go to the beach? It's so hot today!
