Prologue: One Year Later
A year had passed since Sienna and Junior joined the Squarepants family. Business was its usual in Bikini Bottom, despite everything that it went through.
SpongeBob and Sandy Squarepants, Squidward Tentacles, and Patrick Star, despite years and years of nonsensical adventures and wacky mishaps, still lived peacefully in their respective homes. Even after Plankton’s latest few plans, both of which jeopardized and endangered the lives of them and all of Bikini Bottom’s other inhabitants, SpongeBob and his friends still held strong, defeated Plankton, and grew closer and closer as friends.
SpongeBob and Sandy were practically inseparable together since their marriage. They hardly ever fought or argued other than sporadic karate matches and playful bickering over who did the chores, who cooked the food, and who watched the kids. Many Bikini Bottomites viewed them as an ideal couple because of how close and loving they were, even though some of them were still weirded out that a land squirrel and a sea sponge settled their differences using science and love and got together into an extremely loving relationship.
SpongeBob matured quite a bit since he got married, yet he still cherished his inner child. He still often behaved as a kid, especially when he was around his kids. He was still proud manager and fry cook for the Krusty Krab 2 and he still loved spending time with Patrick for playing their usual set of games. He even started teaching Sienna how to jellyfish. He also learned to be mature and serious when he really needed to, such as a crisis in the Krusty Krab 2. Most of all, SpongeBob loved spending time with Sandy. Other than their parental duties, they spent most of their time watching movies, reminiscing old memories, taking vacations together while Mindy babysat the kids, and many other activities together.
Sandy was a whole different story. She became a lot nicer and changed her lifestyle. She still did some of her usual activities such as exercising and karate, but because she was a mother, worker, and wife, she did them less and less. The flower on her old air helmet was now worn on her head. Also, on the same night that SpongeBob came home with Sienna and Junior, after SpongeBob went to sleep, Sandy made a promise. This promise would change everything about her for the benefit and well-being of the family and to maintain the loving atmosphere of her relationship. She decided to have an all-around personality change. No longer would she be overly arrogant, ill-tempered, angry, competitive, or prideful. From that day forward, Sandy would be nothing but loving and faithful to her family. She gave up her once prioritized interest in science because she believed that she now only needed it to help the family and because she promised to put family before all else. For example, she came up with a unique milk formula mixed with healthier nutrients and quicker growth formulas for her kids to drink. Sandy also changed her definition of being tough. Shortly after getting married, her mother told her that toughness as a mother and wife was to protect and support her family through even the toughest and most difficult obstacles of life. Sandy also took her promises from the journey to Planktopolis 2 into heart. She wanted to make sure that she would never get angry or annoyed at SpongeBob ever again. This personality change did take three weeks for Sandy to completely adjust to, but ultimately it was worth it. SpongeBob didn’t even notice this change; at least not right away. He never complained anyways because he never cared for any change to Sandy because he loved her too much.
Patrick once again returned to eating and sleeping, but he never forgot that Mindy kissed him on the cheek two years ago. He was still the happy lazy starfish that he always was. He was also happy that SpongeBob never neglected him even though he was married and had a family. In fact, Patrick was treated as family by SpongeBob, and Sienna and Junior really loved hanging around him, especially when they bounce on his stomach. Sandy was slightly disgusted by Patrick as she always was, but she kept her mouth shut because the rest of the family enjoyed his company. She still could not really trust Patrick because of his tendency to fall asleep while babysitting the kids, worrying the squirrel that something may go wrong as he slept. SpongeBob then reluctantly gave the babysitting job to Mindy, who was really happy to take the job because she loved kids.
Squidward was also considered family to SpongeBob. Surprisingly, Squidward enjoyed being company. SpongeBob was rarely annoying and his house was no longer being constantly destroyed by his neighbors so Squidward had hardly any complaints. He could still get a bit annoyed at Junior’s crying though. Squidward was also slightly jealous that SpongeBob got married before he did, but he tried not to show it, though constantly seeing SpongeBob and Sandy so happy made him miss Squilvia. Squidward still rather unwillingly worked at the original Krusty Krab as an underappreciated cashier. Fewer customers came in because it was getting more and more dull. Many of the customers preferred the much higher-energy Krusty Krab 2, where SpongeBob, his kids, Patrick, Mindy, and Sandy all work and have fun in. One things that never changed was that Squidward was still terrible at the clarinet. Whenever he played it, Junior would start crying and an annoyed Sandy would storm up to his doorstep.
Mr. Krabs was starting to grow older as time passed, but he was still easily able enough to work and fight. He was still quite cheap, but he finally learned to put his friends, workers, and family before his love for money. He was still on the fence on whether to expand the Krusty Krab more. Mindy was also considered family to SpongeBob and Sandy. She worked part-time at the Krusty Krab 2 as both a waitress and a babysitter for Sienna and Junior. She really enjoyed her time with SpongeBob and his family. Gary enjoyed playing with SpongeBob and his kids. They all got along well.
As for Sienna, she was turning twenty-two months old. She could walk and mainly says words like “Mama” and “Dada.” She was still babbling and did not speak complete sentences yet. Sandy assumed that Sienna would grow to be intelligent because she read that smarter babies talked later. Sienna almost never cried except when she got hurt or scared. Sienna also had a very high pain tolerance and tended to be very curious. She also got along really well with her little brother. Junior recently turned a year old. He crawled and laughed a lot. He got along well with Sienna and, like her, tended to be very curious. From his sense of humor to his sensitivity to his love for Krabby Patties, Junior was a lot like SpongeBob.
Plankton was even more depressed and hopeless than ever before. He always believed that he was a failure but after his Perfect Plan failed, he knew he was a complete failure. He gave up hope for world domination and contemplated whether to quit the fast food business altogether. The Krusty Krabs were more successful than ever, his enemies thrived even more than before, Mr. Krabs was richer and happier than ever before, and now not just Bikini Bottom, but the whole sea and even the world was mocking him and his most recent failure. Plankton was hopeless and powerless. He wanted help but couldn’t because everybody was too busy mocking and cursing him, all of his best guys were jailed forever, his own computer wife was even mocking him repeatedly, and even if he did come up with a plan, SpongeBob and his friends would beat him without any difficulty.
Bikini Bottom thrived once again. SpongeBob, his family, and his friends all lived happily and energetically, and there didn’t seem to be any sort of threat for a long time. But they were wrong. Oh so wrong. Miles and miles underground, a monster with glowing red eyes, a skull head, and glowing blue armor made of skeletons recently got the news of the Perfect Plan and its defeat. He chuckled creepily and, in a deep and scary voice, spoke indirectly to Plankton, “Foolish protozoa. Everybody knows that only a god can truly slay another god. Plankton may be a failure, but he is very resilient, and because of this, I will help him in achieving world domination, and I will use him as an advantage to become the new god of the sea. In two weeks, Neptune will be up in Mount Olympus to discuss to the other gods what happened last year and what he plans to do to prevent another situation of the same magnitude from ever happening again. So I have two weeks to ready my army and to help Plankton in achieving world domination before Neptune even has time to notice. Neptune will fall, and I, Pluto, the God of Death, shall be god the sea, and soon, the earth!” Pluto then started laughing evilly as his army of skeletons, zombies, and underworld monsters started to take formation, all getting ready to strike.
So that was the prologue! Sorry if some of these descriptions seem untrue to the show, and I'm a lot more sorry about completely changing Sandy's personality to almost a polar opposite on how she actually is based on the show, but she'll reach a medium between both in time. Also, I'm not sure whether to keep the name Pluto or change to Hades. I figured that I should keep the gods consistent in mythology since Neptune is the Roman name, but I always preferred the Greek names for most of the Gods. Anyways, hope you guys enjoyed this little prologue, and chapter one will be up whenever I get around to it.
