"Two days later".

It was a gorgeous day in Bikini Bottom. Little SpongeBob Squarepants whistled happily on his way to work, feeling his usual self. His pet snail, Gary had sensed there was something wrong with him the other night after Sandy and Patrick came over to watch a scary movie. His master was acting.... weird. Not his usual weird, but just a different kind of weird.

He burst through the doors of the Krusty Krab, happily marching towards the kitchen to start the day. "Good morning, Squidward!" He said cheerfully. "Good? Heh. How can it be good when you're being your usual barnacle brain self? and thanks for waking me from my beauty sleep last night" Spat Squidward as he eyed SpongeBob in disgust. "No problem, Squidward!" Replied SpongeBob as he slid into the kitchen. The octopus fumed in anger at his co-worker's oblivious nature.

Just then, Patrick came through the door walking alongside another starfish. A starfish that looked a lot like ''him. ''"Hey Squidward! I want you to meet my cousin, Ron....Ron...uhhh... what's your last name again?" Asked a confused Patrick. His cousin shrugged "How should I know?" He replied, his voice similar to Patrick's. "Oh great, two buffoons with pink coneheads. Heh heh Coneheads heh" Chuckled Squidward at his own insult. Silence filled the air (Or, water) as the two just stood there staring at Squidward. "What? what are you looking at?!" He asked in a grouchy tone. They wouldn't answer him. They began to drool. "WHAT DO YOU WANT YOU BUMBLING-" Squidward began to yell when Mr Krab's office door flew open.

"What's all the commotion, Mr Squidward?" Asked Mr Krabs. "These two pea brains wont stop staring at me!" "We just want to order some food!" Said Patrick. "Well then why didn't you say so?!" "Say what?" Asked Patrick. Squidward growled in frustration "THAT'S IT-" He began, when suddenly SpongeBob stuck his head through the window "Hey Patrick, How about a couple deluxe Krabby Patties with extra onion?" He suggested.

Patrick laughed his usual clueless laugh, "Hey, great idea SpongeBob!" He said. SpongeBob went to work. Patrick and his cousin went to go find a table. "Morons" Muttered Squidward. "I heard that, Mr Squidward" Said Mr Krabs. "Well it's true!" He spat. "I don't care if it is true. Time is money, and I ain't going to lose a single penny just because of your temper!" They started throwing quick, unintelligible insults at each other.

"Two hours later".

Long after Patrick and Ron had left, The Krusty Krab was booming with costumers. SpongeBob was flipping patty after patty, never tiring out.

He was happily whistling to himself, but just loud enough to annoy Squidward. Just then, SpongeBob had another order ready. He rang the bell that sat on the ledge of the window. "ORDER UP SQUIDWARD!" He sang. "SPONGEBOB! I'm busy, why don't you deliver the order?" He said as he flipped through his World's Most Beautiful Clarinets magazine. "Okie Dokie, Squid!" He said, grabbing the customer's order and bringing it out of the kitchen.

He brought the order over to a purple fish wearing a red hat. "Here you are, my good sir. One deluxe Krabby Patty with medium kelp fries, extra ketchup" Said SpongeBob as he set the tray in front of the fish. "Thanks" Said the smiling customer. "Nooo problem! Dashing hat, By the way" SpongeBob complimented. "Thanks! I like your uh..." He paused, Examining him from head to toe. "....Holes" he finished. SpongeBob chuckled "Why, thank you. I try to keep em' in tip top shape!". The customer's eye twitched "...That's.... nice..."

Just then, Sandy walked into the restaurant, and sat down at a table. SpongeBob spotted her, and he walked over. "Howdy, SpongeBob!" She said with a smile. "Hiya Sandy! what brings you here on this fine day?" He asked. "Uhh... hunger?" She replied. He suddenly burst out laughing. "Dah ha ha ha ha ha! Good one, Sandy! Dah ha ha!" He slapped his knee. She played along with a little chuckle. "Ha ha.... yeah..." He didn't notice the weirded out look on her furry face.

When he finally pulled himself together and stopped cackling, He wiped away drops of sweat from his forehead. "Whooo..... got anymore jokes?" He asked her. "JUST TAKE HER ORDER!" Yelled Squidward from across the room. "Oh, right" SpongeBob pulled out a pencil from under his hat, and a notepad from his back pocket.

"What would you like?" He asked with a smile, with his eyes closed momentarily.

"Hmm... I think I'll have..." She began to speak. But when SpongeBob opened his eyes, He suddenly zoned out. Her words fell on deaf ears as he felt the overwhelming urge to stare helplessly at her face. His pupils suddenly grew larger the longer he stared.

"And one medium kelp soda" She finished. When she finally stopped rattling off her order, She was taken aback by the Sponge's humongous sparkling eyes, staring dreamily at her.

"Uhh.... SpongeBob..." She was snapping her fingers. He just sighed happily as a smile crept its way onto his face.

"SpongeBob!" He finally snapped out of it. "Huh? wha-" "Did you hear anything I was sayin'?" She asked, getting a bit flustered.

"OH! N-no, Sorry Sandy I wasn't listening. What was it again that you wanted?" He asked, ready this time to take her order. She told him once again. "Got it!" He said, Dropping the notepad on the floor. "You feelin' alright, Little buddy?" Asked Sandy with concern in her voice.

Sweat poured off of him as he stood back up from grabbing the dropped notepad. "Who, me?! Ah ha ha, Never better Sandy. Never better..." Concern was written all over her face. He gulped, and pulled at the collar of his shirt. "I'll just uh.... get this going for you, Sandy" He slowly backed up, moving towards the kitchen. Running into a few customers in the process. "OOPS! Sorry, OOP-Pardon me, Ha ha my bad..." He said as he bumped into multiple fish passing by.

Squidward watched with his tentacles on his hips as his co-worker walked backwards into the kitchen. "What is wrong with that dunderhead? other than what's usually wrong with him" He said to himself.

SpongeBob finally made it into the kitchen. He stood with his back against the door. "What is wrong with you?! PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER, SQUAREPANTS!" He shouted in his thoughts.

He breathed very quickly as he attempted to get her order together. "Patty, Pickles, Lettuce, Tomatoes, Cheese, Ketchup, Socks-WAIT A SECOND" He thought, "She didn't want socks on her patty! OH WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!!" He shouted. "SPONGEBOB!" "AHHHHHHHHH!" He screeched. Squidward had stuck his head through the window. "WHERE is that order?!" Demanded Squidward. "D-don't worry Squidward, it's almost done!" "Look at this mess! why are you being a bigger lunatic than usual?!" He asked as he noticed all of the spilled condiments all over the grill.

"I don't know, Squidward. Something's wrong with me" Said SpongeBob in a scared tone. "Now you realize that? just get that order done!" "Yes, Squidward". He managed to calm himself down a bit, and fixed her order the correct way.

He rang the bell in the window. Luckily Squidward got off of his lazy behind, and delivered the order to Sandy himself.

"WHEW, Boy am I glad that's over" SpongeBob uttered to himself. He thought he was relaxed enough, Until he heard the sound of Sandy's laughter in the distance.

He slowly stood on his tippy toes and peeked out the window. A fish lady had joined her at her table. Whatever joke the lady had told her must have been pretty darn funny, Because Sandy was laughing hysterically like she did the other night. SpongeBob felt a sudden powerful surge of emotions wash over him, with what felt like a swarm of butterflies or, in this case jellyfish, swim around like crazy in the pit of his stomach.

"Ughhh... boy, I don't feel so good...HUH?!" He then jumped away from the window, crouched to the floor and clenched onto his chest. He looked down, And saw his heart literally beating through his shirt. He began to hyperventilate. "'I've got to get outta here!!!" 'He screamed mentally.

He burst out of the kitchen, everyone staring at him. He gulped, turning fifty shades of red. He laughed nervously. "Just uh... checking up with the boss..." He said as he slowly went into Mr Krab's office.

He slid into his office, breathing like a maniac. "What's gotten into ya, Me boy?" Asked Mr Krabs as he sat at his desk, money in hand. "M-Mr Krabs I was uh.... just wondering... heh heh.." He pulled at the collar of his shirt once again. "Well, spit it out lad!". "Oh, Mr Krabs.... could I go home early? I don't feel very well..." Asked Spongebob in a rather dreary tone.

"Well.... I suppose if you're feelin' bad. Go home, get some rest. But this'll be coming out of yer paycheck".

"Oh, Thank you Mr Krabs! THANK YOU!" He said with great relief. "Yeah Yeah. Now go on, Boy-o. I've got an important date with Milly Money" He said dreamily, staring at the ten dollar bill in his hand.
