Chapter 1 The Disappearance

Squidward Tentacles was finishing up his job for the night at the Krusty Krab. He was eager to get back home, as usual. Spongebob Squarepants was just finishing up for the night too. He whistled a tune as he put his spatula back up at its spot as he got ready to go. Spongebob left the kitchen."Goodnight, Squidward. I'm going home" Spongebob said as he walked past his neighbor. Mr. Krabs came out of his office with a smile on his face." I just locked up the safe, so Plankton doesn't get his grimy little hands on it" Mr. Krabs announced.

"That's great, Mr. Krabs" Spongebob cried in his usual exciting tone."Yep, you know, it's been two days since I last seen him try to steal the secret formula" Mr. Krabs said."Well, I'm sure he'll be back again soon. Goodnight, Eugene" Squidward remarked as he put his hat back up and left the restaurant."See you tomorrow, Mr. Krabs" Spongebob said and left."Goodnight, me boy" Mr. Krabs said. When Squidward got home, he decided to spend some time to himself before he went to bed that night. Later that night, we see Squilliam Fancyson walking on the streets. He seemed nervous."Alright, you have to do this or else Squiddy might get hurt… or worse" Squilliam panicked as he approached his high school rivals house.

Squilliam took a deep breath and knocked on the door, and rang the door bell. A minute later, Squidward opened the door, looking grumpy and tired."Squilliam. What the barnacles are you doing here? It's 4:15 in the morning" Squidward grumbled. Squilliam took another deep breath before he spoke."Oh, Squiddy. You have to come with me or else something bad might happen to you" Squilliam cried."What!? How come?" Squidward demanded.

"I don't know. They wouldn't tell me. They just wanted you and me" Squilliam told him, looking distressed."Please. You have to trust me". Squidward saw the distressing look on his rivals face. He didn't look like he was kidding around. Squidward kneeled down towards Squilliam."Are you sure this isn't some trick" Squidward wondered in a calmer voice.

"I'm positive. They sounded serious and threatening. Please come with me, Squiddy" Squilliam pleaded."I'll be right back" Squidward said and went back inside. He came back out wearing his normal, light brown t-shirt."Alright, lets go" Squidward told him."Oh, thank you, Squidward" Squilliam thanked and stood up. The two started to walk away."I promise, I won't be mean to you during this time. But, no one must not know about this" Squilliam told him."You mean we're going missing" Squidward said. Squilliam nodded with a sad look on his face."I'm afraid so… and I'm not sure when we'll be back" Squilliam told him."So, I'm gonna miss work while we're gone" Squidward said.

When they got farther away from Squidward's house, Squilliam turned towards Squidward."Look. What you're about to see may be frightening. This guy really frightens me. So, I will look after you" Squilliam warned him."Wait, what frightening guy?" Squidward wondered, right before they turned a corner to see a boat mobile. Squidward and Squilliam walked to the boat. The window rolled down to reveal a big tough guy with a creepy smile on his face. Squidward was immediately terrified.

"Ah, good, you got him" the man said in a creepy voice."How nice of you to join us, young Tentacles".

The guy grinned. Squilliam opened the back door and the two slowly got into the boat.

The big, tough guy started to drive away.

Late, that same day at work, Spongebob realized wasn't their today. Spongebob decided to ask Mr. Krabs in his office if Squidward called in sick or something."Hey, Spongebob. What's up, me boy" Mr. Krabs said with a smile."Uh, Mr. Krabs… did Squidward call in sick or something?" Spongebob asked in a worried tone."No. He didn't. Why do you ask?" Mr. Krabs wondered."Because, Squidward isn't here today" Spongebob answered. Mr. Krabs sat there with a surprised expression on his face.

"Oh, really. Did you check the usual spots?" Mr. Krabs wondered.

"Mhm" Spongebob nodded."The register?" Spongebob nodded.

"Any tables?" Mr. Krabs asked. Spongebob nodded.

"The restroom" Mr. Krabs asked. Spongebob nodded.

"Yes, Squidward is no where to be seen" Spongebob cried."Oh! So, he decided to take the day off, did he!" Mr. Krabs shouted. decided to call Squidward to give him a piece of his mind, but Squidward just wouldn't pick up. No matter how many times called Squidward just wouldn't pick up. Spongebob and just gave each other a look.
