Pretty Cure Meets SpongeBob

No Promotion and Neptune's Missing Crown

Later, Mr. Krabs was at a stand in front of the Krusty Krab 2. A huge crowed was gathered there, seated. "Welcome. Welcome, everyone, to the grand opening of The Krusty Krab 2!" said Mr. Krabs. The crowd clapped. "We paid $9 for this?" asked Mrs. Puff. "I paid $10" said Sandy. "Now, before we begin with the ribbon-cutting, I'd like to announce the name of our new manager." said Mr. Krabs. Again, the crowd clapped but SpongeBob was clapping hard and cheering. "Yay! Yeah! Yeah! Now we're talking! Yeah!" he cheered. Megumi held onto SpongeBob. "Calm down SpongeBob. Save your excitement for when you get your promotion" she told him. "Oh, right" said SpongeBob, calming down. "Yes. Well, anyway... The new manager is a loyal, hard-working employee." said Mr. Krabs. "Yes." SpongeBob said, thinking. "The obvious choice for the job." Mr. Krabs continued. "He's right." SpongeBob said, thinking. "A name you all know. It starts with an S." Mr. Krabs continued. "That's me" said SpongeBob, thinking. "Please welcome our new manager...Squidward Tentacles!" said Mr. Krabs. A banner fell with Squidward's face on it. Still thinking that he got the job, SpongeBob cheered "Yes! Yeah!". He shook Squidward's hand and said to him "Oh, better luck next time, buddy. Yeah! All right!".

SpongeBob went up to the stand and talked into the microphone. "People of Bikini Bottom, as the manager of-" he began before Mr. Krabs interrupted him. "Uh, SpongeBob" Mr. Krabs interrupted. "Hold the phone, folks, I'm getting an important news flash from Mr. Krabs. Go ahead, Mr. K." said SpongeBob. Mr. Krabs whispered to SpongeBob and the sponge repeated everything he said into the microphone. "This is embarrassing. Even for SpongeBob" Megumi said to Yuko and Ribbon. "Yeah" Yuko and Ribbon agreed. "Oh, for crying out loud, SpongeBob! You didn't get the job!" Mr. Krabs yelled, frustrated. "What?" SpongeBob asked, disappointed. "You... did not... get... the job." said Mr. Krabs repeated. "But... But why?" asked SpongeBob, sad. "SpongeBob, you're a great fry cook, but I gave the job to Squidward because being manager is a big responsibility. Well, let's face it, he's more... mature than you." Mr. Krabs explained. "I'm not... mature?" SpongeBob asked. "Ah, lad, I mean this in the nicest of ways, but there's a word for what you are, and that word is... now, let's see..." said Mr. Krabs. "Dork?" asked Lenny, from the crowd. "No, wait, that's not right. Not a dork." said Mr. Krabs. "A goofball?" asked Pearl, from the crowd. "Closer, but no, no, no." said Mr. Krabs. "Kid?" asked Ribbon. "Yes! That's the word I'm looking for." said Mr. Krabs. Megumi and Yuko glared at Ribbon. "What?" asked Ribbon. "Look, what I'm trying to say is, you're just a kid. And to be a manager, you have to be a man. Otherwise they'd call it "kid-ager." You understand-ager? I mean, you understand?" Mr. Krabs explained. "I guess so, Mr. Krabs" said SpongeBob, looking down. Then he started to walk away. "SpongeBob, wait!" said Megumi. She, Yuko and Ribbon swam after SpongeBob. "Ribbon didn't mean to hurt your feelings! Really!" Yuko called, while swimming. "Poor kid." said Mr. Krabs to himself. Suddenly, Patrick appeared flying on a banner naked with a "Go SpongeBob" flag on his butt. "Hooray for SpongeBob! Hooray for SpongeBob!" he cheered. Then he accidentally hit the stage which set on fire. Everyone except Patrick ran away. "Let's hear it for SpongeBob! Hello? Where'd everybody go? Did I miss something? Did you see my butt?" said Patrick.
