  1. I enjoyed this episode. I definitely got a "Nutty Professor" vibe from it, especially when SpongeBob did a Jerry Lewis impression at one point. I did like how SpongeBob while still being smooth was his nice guy self and didn't turn into a jerk like how most people expect this formula to play out. While I wish there could've been more that happened in this episode, I still enjoyed it.

  2. Chapter 11: Family Reunion

    Outside, where the sun seemed to be setting, the cover of a manhole on the street started opening up. Future SpongeBob poked his eyes out and looked around as if seeing if there was anyone nearby.

    “The coast is clear.” He called as he stepped out, followed by his past self and Buster.

    “Glad to finally be out of there.” SpongeBob smiled as he stretched out his arms.

    “Come on, gentlemen.” Future SpongeBob signaled. “We have to hurry and get back to my house before DarkEvil tries anything dirty that we’ll need to clean up.”

    He ran up ahead with SpongeBob and Buster following him. On the way, SpongeBob walked next to Buster and asked, “Hey, Buster, I was wondering… If you were the one who released DarkEvil LaserPants, why didn’t you tell anyone?”

    Buster looked away from him and replied, “Because this was my fault, SpongeBob. I knew everyone would hate me for causing this and putting my dad in trouble. I thought if I went into the past and brought you here, my dad would be saved. But…it just made things worse.”

    “I don’t hate you, Buster.” SpongeBob assured him. “In fact, it’s actually my fault for becoming the guy in the first place. But, everyone knows you didn’t do it on purpose.” Buster stared at SpongeBob in surprise by his understanding. “But you know…I’m sure we can-“

    Before he can continue reassuring his future son, a female voice called out, “SpongeBob!”

    SpongeBob stopped when he saw Sandy running up to him. “Sandy!” he called out.

    Sandy ran over and hugged him in joy and relief. “Oh, SpongeBob, I was so worried! After Rocky told us you were snatched, I thought I’d never see ya again!”

    SpongeBob looked surprised that she was worried for him after he disappeared given that the last thing he said to her was unpleasant. But he smiled and asked, “Really?”

    “You bet.” Sandy replied until she noticed Future SpongeBob. “Who’s this?”

    SpongeBob giggled in amusement, “Ha ah ah ah!” and answered, “This is me. Well, me from the future that is.”

    “Sandy, if you’re here, where’s everyone else?” Future SpongeBob asked. “Where are the kids?”

    “They’re with my future self.” Sandy explained. “Sometime after you went and disappeared, these miscreant robots dun showed up and attacked us.” The sponges gasped at this, realizing that DarkEvil was already attempting to harm their friends and family. “Then my future self came and helped us. Afterwards, I left to try and find you.”

    “Oh, barnacles!” Future SpongeBob shouted as he held his head. “I hope they’re alright.”

    Afterwards, he ran as fast as he could to Conch Street with SpongeBob, Sandy, and Buster following him.

     

    When they finally reached the neighborhood, Future SpongeBob gasped in horror to see his house nearly destroyed by the mayhem that Sandy said had occurred.

    “Oh, barnacles,” Future SpongeBob cursed as he quickly went inside through the hole in the wall. He saw the living room was completely destroyed with no one around. “Where is everyone?”

    SpongeBob, Sandy, and Buster come in through the wall to see what’s going on, and was just as disturbed by the damage as Future SpongeBob was. “Future Me?” SpongeBob asked in concern.

    But unbeknownst to Future SpongeBob, a large PlankEvil bot was coming at him from behind and was about to attack him.

    SpongeBob saw this and quickly warned, “Future Me, look out!”

    “DADDY, NO!!!” Junior cried out as he came out from his hiding place, and then to everyone’s surprise, he picked up the heavy couch in panic and used it to smash the PlankEvil bot into pieces before it can attack Future SpongeBob.

    Future SpongeBob gasped in surprise, but smiled in relief to see that his child was safe. “SpongeBob Jr., you’re here.”

    “Daddy, you’re here!” Junior smiled also as he hugged his father in joy.

    Then Crash came out through the hole in the ceiling with Twitchy. “Pa!” Crash shouted with joy as he ran over to hug Future SpongeBob.

    “Youescapedtheevilvarmint’sclutches!” Twitchy rapidly shouted as he followed Crash to hug his dad.

    “Daddy!” Sally shouted with joy as she and her sisters came out from another room.

    “You’re back!” Dolly also shouted in the same manner.

    “Finally!” Ally shouted lastly.

    Future SpongeBob smiled happily as he hugged his group of children while SpongeBob, Sandy, and Buster watched.

    “It’s great to see you kids are safe and sound.” Future SpongeBob said happily, but then got a concerned look as he asked. “But, where’s your mother?”

    “SpongeBob!” Sandy’s voice called out with Future SpongeBob, along with SpongeBob and Sandy, turn to see Future Sandy standing by the other hole in the wall.

    Future SpongeBob stood up and shouted happily, “Sandy!”

    Future Sandy ran over to him happily with Squidward and Patrick peeking out from behind the large hole in the wall.

    Soon, both the Future SpongeBob and Sandy embrace happily as the present SpongeBob and Sandy watch in shock by their future selves loving affection towards one another.

    “Oh, SpongeBob, I was so worried when I found out you went missin’.” Future Sandy cried as she held Future SpongeBob.

    “I felt the same way.” Future SpongeBob smiled also, “About you and our kids.”

    As the others continued staring at the couple along with the young sponges and squirrels surrounding them, Sandy still has a shocked look as she began to realize something, “Wait a minute…are all those youngins supposed to be…mine?”

    “And if Sandy’s supposed to be the mother of my future kids…and I’m the father of her future kids…” SpongeBob also began to realize.

    “Then that would mean…”

    Before Sandy could finish, both SpongeBob and Sandy glance each other in shock, not saying a word to each other, and both started blushing.

    Squidward became baffled as he commented, “Just when I thought things in this future couldn’t be any weirder.”

    But when the two look away from each other, SpongeBob got a happy grin and laced his fingers together in joy.

    ‘It’s true!’ SpongeBob gleefully said in his inner-thoughts. ‘Sandy and I ARE married in the future and we have seven adorable kids. Oh, it’s just too good to be true. And the best part… no Ro-’

    Before he could finish, they suddenly hear the sound of a pair of hands clapping, and they turn their heads to see DarkEvil LaserPants coming in while applauding in sarcasm. “What a happy family reunion.” He coldly states.

    ‘DarkEvil!’ SpongeBob shouted in his thoughts while frightened. But then, he shook his head and got a determined look. ‘I have to face him like a man. I can’t let him ruin this wonderful future I have.’

    Future SpongeBob walked away from his wife and children, and stood before DarkEvil with a brave face. “What are you doing here, LaserPants?”

    “Isn’t it obvious?” DarkEvil asked before explaining, “I’m here to finish what I started.” Then he looked at SpongeBob. “And that means finally getting rid of you.”

    But SpongeBob just stood there next to Sandy with a serious frown as he shouted, “I will not be defeated by you! Especially when it comes to protecting my friends!”

    DarkEvil just stood there as he looked around seeing Buster standing there next to SpongeBob, Junior trembling with fear, Crash trying to look tough with Twitchy, and Sally, Dolly, and Ally huddled together in fright.

    “Well, well, well,” DarkEvil said as he looked at SpongeBob and Sandy after seeing all their kids. “It looks like you two got busy.”

    While Sandy looked embarrassed by this comment, SpongeBob, however, just boldly shouted, “Of course we got busy! We totally got busy! With all this going to the future, keeping those kids safe, saving the future me, and trying to stop you, we haven’t had time for anything else!”

    Awkward silence fell when SpongeBob noticed Sandy sigh in annoyance, Buster stare at him, his future self push his glasses up awkwardly, Future Sandy shake her head in frustration, Squidward slap his forehead, and the rest of the kids just looking confused by all this.

    “What?” a clueless SpongeBob asked with a shrug.

    “Wow.” Patrick said in surprise. “You really have been busy.”

    DarkEvil just laughed in enjoyment as he said, “I love messing with your pathetic mind. But, now I think it’s time to get down to business.”

    “And just what do you plan on doing?” Future SpongeBob demanded to know.

    DarkEvil lifted his mask up to show an evil smirk while replying, “Oh, I’m not doing anything.”

    He snapped his fingers and suddenly, Rocky walked up next to him. “Rocky?” Sandy asked in shock at seeing her good friend next to DarkEvil LaserPants.

    “Rocky!” SpongeBob shouted in concern. “Even though I never really liked you, watch out! DarkEvil’s next to you!”

    Rocky just growled as his eyes turn completely red. Sandy became even more shocked as she asked, “Rocky? What’s goin’ on?”

    “Sorry, Sandy.” Rocky responded with his eyes still red and his expression vicious. “I do like you, but I must destroy!”

    Rocky’s body suddenly split apart like armor and revealed his true form. He was a silver, brown, and green muscular armored robot with large bulky arms, giant fist-like hands, and a large tail with sharp spikes on it.

    “Behold…” DarkEvil introduced with his mask once again down. “My latest creation…the Rocky-Bot 3000, a powerful robotic weapon I designed to send into the past and destroy you. Even though things didn’t go according to plan, it’s still intelligent enough to serve its purpose well.”

    SpongeBob stared in shock by this revelation. “Rocky’s actually an evil robot?” he continued to stand there in shock until he started cheering again, “YES!!! HE ISN’T A SUPER-HUNK GUY AFTER ALL!!!” he stopped when he noticed his future self, Sandy, Buster, Squidward, and Future Sandy all glaring at him. “Heh eh eh eh…Of course that is a bad thing also.”

    “Now that you’re all acquainted…” DarkEvil said as he snapped his fingers which made the Rocky-Bot growl and stomp toward the group. “Let’s get down to destroying you all.”

     

  3. Chapter 10: Future SpongeBob

    Inside the dungeon where DarkEvil LaserPants locked up SpongeBob, everything seemed peaceful at the moment despite it being a dark dungeon. SpongeBob seemed to have dozed off and was lying on the ground asleep. While he was snoring, he suddenly heard a strange noise.

    SpongeBob suddenly opened his eyes and asked in a drowsy tone, “Huh? Who’s there?”

    He suddenly heard what sounded like a metal door opening. SpongeBob fully woke up and held his knees as he cowered against the wall, fearing it was DarkEvil LaserPants.

    “Don’t…Don’t come any closer.” SpongeBob trembled.

    Then a mysterious yellow hand suddenly pulled a switch that shut off the laser bars of SpongeBob’s cell.

    “Huh?” SpongeBob wondered as he opened his right eye and did not see DarkEvil threatening his life. “What’s going on?”

    The figure pushed a red button that made the metal bars go up, allowing SpongeBob to go free.

    SpongeBob had a puzzled look as he stood up and slowly walked out of his cell with no repercussions. “Okay…” he wondered. “What’s going on here?”

    He turned around to see his savior, and it happened to be…Buster.

    “Buster!” SpongeBob shouted in happiness. “You’re here!”

    Buster just cocked his left eyebrow and said nothing until SpongeBob just continued to ask him, “How did you get here anyway?”

    Buster just gave a little shrug as he replied in a shy tone, “I just…followed that robot who captured you. I…thought you could use a little help.”

    “Oh, boy did I need help.” SpongeBob said with a thankful smile as he grabbed Buster and hugged him. “I thought I was a goner as DarkEvil’s prisoner.”

    But, Buster just pushed himself out of his past dad’s grip and said in an awkward tone, “All I came here for was to just get you out of here so you can go back to the past. You don’t understand what I have to do.”

    “Well…actually…” SpongeBob tried explaining. “I really do.”

    Buster seemed surprised that he knew what was going on, and he turned back around with SpongeBob continuing, “You were the one who brought back DarkEvil LaserPants.” Buster frowned in guilt as he crossed his arms and turned away from SpongeBob. “I guess I can see why you wanted to try and fix this by yourself.”

    Before Buster can explain himself, they suddenly heard a voice call out, “Hey, fellas!”

    SpongeBob and Buster look around until the older sponge recognized it. “It’s the voice who said he was me.” SpongeBob pointed out. “Where are you?”

    “Over here!” the voice called as a yellow hand waves out from one of the cells.

    Buster gasps in shock, recognizing who it was, as he runs over to another control panel on the wall. He pulls a lever and pushes a red button that disarms the laser bars and opens the cell.

    They run over to see the cell unlocking like SpongeBob’s and they see the figure stepping out. “Glad I’m finally out of there.” He said as he came into view.

    The figure looked like an older version of SpongeBob. He was an inch taller, wearing brown pants with suspenders, a white shirt, red tie, and a pair of large black glasses.

    “Hey!” SpongeBob said with an amazed smile. “You’re the one DarkEvil said he was holding prisoner before! That would mean…”

    The sponge chuckled in flattery. “That’s right. I did say I was you before…just from the future.”

    “That makes a lot more sense.” SpongeBob said as he scratched the back of his head sheepishly. “How did you end up here anyway?”

    “Well…” Future SpongeBob replied when his expression turns to one of seriousness. “I do love a good flashback…”

     

    As the Future SpongeBob explains his story, as flashback goes to the early morning with Future SpongeBob happily walking down the street.

    ‘I was on my way to work the other day when I suddenly came across something odd.’

    He stopped with a confused look on his face as he turned his head towards an alley, and spots something against the wall. Future SpongeBob walked in and picked it up to see it was a beamsword hilt.

    “That’s strange.” Future SpongeBob said as he straightened his glasses. “Why does this look so familiar?”

    “Maybe because it’s mine.” A cold voice stated as Future SpongeBob turns around and gasps as something punched him further into the alley.

    Future SpongeBob opened his eyes as he lied in a pile of garbage bags. But he gasps in shock and gets an angered look in his eyes when he sees who it is. “You!”

    DarkEvil LaserPants started walking toward Future SpongeBob. “That’s right, SquarePants.” He said to him with mockery in his voice, “Thought you’d seen the last of me, huh?”

    Future SpongeBob easily pushed the garbage bags off of him, and stood there with a serious expression. “What are you doing here?” he demanded to know before suddenly jumping in the air, landing behind his foe, and karate chopping DarkEvil in the back, knocking him forward. “How did you come back?”

    “You really wanna know?” DarkEvil asked as he sat up, slide across the ground, and then swept his feet at Future SpongeBob, knocking him onto the ground. He then picked Future SpongeBob up by his tie and answered, “You should thank that son of yours.”

    Hearing that DarkEvil interacted with one of his children, Future SpongeBob’s eyes widen in shock. “What?!”

    “Yes.” DarkEvil flipped Future SpongeBob onto the ground and aimed his wrist ray at him as he lied there defenseless. He lifts up his mask and showed an evil smirk. “But this time, things are gonna end differently.”

    ‘As hard as I tried to defeat him…alas, I was defeated.’ Future SpongeBob explained. ‘He fired a paralyzing beam at me and I was unconscious for hours.’

     

    Back in the present (or still the future), Future SpongeBob continued explaining, “After that, he brought me here and held me prisoner so he can complete the rest of his plan. He wanted to destroy my past self, which is you, with a new weapon he has. I just haven’t figured out what it is yet. But what I do know is that with you here, he’s gonna try and destroy all of us at once.”

    After he finished, SpongeBob and Buster just stood there silently in awe over the story they just heard.

    “Whoa…” SpongeBob uttered in shock until he suddenly smiled and raised his fists in the air. “I KICK BUTT IN THE FUTURE!!! WHOOO!!!”

    When he opened his eyes and stopped cheering, he noticed a disappointed look on his future self’s face. SpongeBob giggled sheepishly, “Heh, eh eh eh…I suppose what you just said is bad too.”

    The Future SpongeBob then turned to Buster and crossed his arms. “And as for you…I can’t believe you didn’t tell anyone about the fact that you released an evil alternate version of me into our time period.” He scolded in a serious tone. “I’m also utterly shocked that you brought my past self here when you know how dangerous this could affect our timeline.”

    Without a word, Buster just put his hands in his pockets and looked away with guilt. But Future SpongeBob just sighed and calmly stated, “Well…I suppose we’ll just have to discuss this with your mother later. Right now we have to get out of here and stop DarkEvil before he does anymore damage. Buster, you have to show us the way out of here.”

    Buster nodded and started running off to the exit while the two SpongeBobs follow him.

  4. Chapter 9: Truth Revealed

    “And that’s what happened so far.” Crash explained to Sandy, Squidward, and Patrick about how he and his brothers came to the future after they lost their father, bringing SpongeBob to their time period, and DarkEvil LaserPants being the one responsible for their father’s disappearance. “It was totally rad when we crashed through the ceilin’ of Sally, Dolly, and Ally’s room!”

    Then Junior started explaining, “And then you came in and it started all that yelling, causing Daddy to leave, and then that big Rocky guy went after him, and then you asked who we were and Crash started talking about how we went into the past to find our dad, and-”

    “You’re telling the story all over again!” Sally, Dolly, and Ally all shouted, who were there listening from the top of the stairs.

    “Oopsie,” Junior smiled with an embarrassed chuckle.

    Sandy started to ponder over all the information she just received, “Well, that explains as much as an ox with no horns.”

    “Or a robot with gears sticking out of his nose!” Crash added with a laugh as Sandy stared at him.

    “Well, the only thing that caught my attention is that these two are SpongeBob’s spawn.” Squidward said as he pointed at Junior and Crash.

    “What’s a spawn?” Junior asked with a confused look.

    Patrick easily answered, “It’s that little piece you move on a board when you play chess.”

    “Really?” Junior asked with a smile, believing him. “I knew it was something like that.”

    “We got no time for games, you two.” Sandy snapped at Patrick and Junior. “We gotta work on gettin’ SpongeBob back home. If this future is really in danger by some whackjob alternate version of him, he could be in serious danger. But first we gotta find that critter.”

    “Sandy!” a voice called out and Sandy turned to see Rocky come inside, and was running toward her, out of breath. “It’s horrible!”

    Concerned by her friend looking so distressed, Sandy asked, “Rocky, what’s goin’ on?”

    Rocky answered while panting in exhaustion, “It’s SpongeBob…he’s in trouble.” Everyone seemed to gasp in shock while Rocky continued to explain what happened, “Something knocked him unconscious and dragged him away somewhere. I tried to stop them, but they were too fast.”

    “Oh no,” Sandy gasped in worry.

    Sally, Dolly, and Ally all looked at each, feeling just as shocked as everyone else.

    “It couldn’t be that masked varmint, could it?” Crash asked in shock while Twitchy trembled in fright.

    Junior started tearing up in sadness. “Daddy…”

    Patrick seemed to be tearing up too over the loss of his best friend. “Daddy?”

     

    Meanwhile, in a dark area, a pair of blue eyes opened up that belonged to SpongeBob, who was starting to wake up.

    SpongeBob groaned in pain and held his head while he sat up. “Where am I?” he wondered as he looked around and noticed he was in some type of dimly lit futuristic dungeon with red laser bars. “What am I doing here?”

    “I had you brought here.” A cold familiar voice answered.

    SpongeBob gasped and turned to see through the bars was none other than the villainous, DarkEvil LaserPants, walking toward him. SpongeBob gasped and shivered in fright. “DarkEvil LaserPants…” he muttered.

    “SpongeBob…long time no see.” DarkEvil coldly greeted as he pushed a button on the wall that made the laser bars of the cell turn to regular metal bars. This allowed him to reach through the bars and grab SpongeBob by his tie and pull him against the bars as he stared him in the eyes.

    SpongeBob yelped in fright as his body was pulled against the bars just inches from his evil future self.

    DarkEvil just stared him in the eyes and asked “Have fun while I was stuck floating in a universe of nothing after you defeated me back in the past?”

    Feeling stunned and frightened as he was held at the mercy of his evil self, SpongeBob struggled to even form a sentence, “Uh…well, I…”

    But DarkEvil just let go of SpongeBob’s tie, dropping him on the floor. “What does it matter? I’m gonna destroy you anyway.”

    SpongeBob stood up and gulped before asking, “But…But how DID you come back? I thought you weren’t supposed to exist anymore after I changed the future.”

    DarkEvil gave an evil chuckle and lifted up his mask to show an evil smirk on his identical yellow face. “It’s quite an interesting story actually.” He answered with a calm smirk as he puts his fists on his square hips. “It all begins yesterday afternoon down in your basement…”

     

    Just like DarkEvil said, a flashback goes down to SpongeBob’s future house, down in his basement where a bunch of boxes and old junk were stored.

    “Buster!” a female voice called from upstairs. “Go take my old tools down to the basement!”

    The door opened and Buster walked down the steps to the basement while carrying a large box full of tools. When he got to the bottom, he set the box down on the ground and wiped his forehead. He quickly glanced around at all the stuff that was in the room, but then he spotted something suspicious behind two towers of boxes.

    Curious, Buster walked over and pushed the boxes aside until he spots Sandy’s old time machine. He curiously stared at it and touched the metal to see what it does. He took his hand off the machine and noticed some dust he caught on his hand. Then Buster looked on the ground and saw an old remote lying there.

    He picked it up and pushed a large red button, causing the remote to spark with electricity, and even the machine to spark as the center of the arch got a strange glow when a portal started to form.

    Buster got a nervous look on his face and slowly backed away as the machine continued to spark even more as a black boot emerged from inside the portal. Buster’s eyes widen and jaw lowers as he saw it was DarkEvil LaserPants who had emerged from the portal.

    DarkEvil was hunched over and he held his head, looking weak. “Tartar sauce…Where am I?” he lifts up his mask, showing an exhausted look on his face. He glanced around with his vision blurred, and when it became clear, he saw Buster sitting on the ground with a stunned look on his face.

    DarkEvil suddenly began to glare with a look of hatred. “You…” he lowered his mask back down and started to walk toward Buster.

    ‘At first I thought that kid was you when I first spotted him.’ DarkEvil’s voice explained to SpongeBob.

    Still sitting on the floor, Buster backed away as far as he could against the box behind him with a frightened look on his face while DarkEvil walked over to him, tightening his fist.

    But Buster just sat there with a terrified expression as he put his arms over his face in fright. “Dad…” he whispered.

    DarkEvil lifted up his mask as he stared at Buster. ‘With closer observation, I was able to realize that he wasn’t you, but your very own son.’ Then he smirked and lowers his mask back down before he walked away.

    When Buster opened his eyes, he saw DarkEvil standing a few feet away from him as he laughed evilly. “Soon you’ll regret ever bringing my out of time. You and your father.” Then he once again laughed evilly and shot his laser up at the ceiling.

     

    Back in the present (or future) time, DarkEvil finished his story, “So, if it weren’t for that pathetic kid of yours, I wouldn’t have been brought out of time to wreak my revenge.”

    SpongeBob was in shock over the story. “Gee…So, it was Buster who caused all this.”

    “Of course it was.” DarkEvil replied as he put down the mask over his face. “It seems to run in the family. Especially when he chose to make the stupid mistake of bringing you here to me even when I had already sent a weapon into the past to destroy you.”

    “You’ll never get away with this!” SpongeBob yelled as he gripped the bars. “Ow!” he shouted in pain when the lasers around the bars turn on, burning his hands.

    “Think again.” DarkEvil retorted with his hand on the switch. “I won’t just ruin your future…I’ll destroy it.”

    DarkEvil walked away while SpongeBob just gave a defeated sigh as he sat on the ground with his elbows on his knees and his palms on his cheeks. “This is hopeless.” He complained with defeat.

    “You’re not gonna give up like that, are you?” asked a voice that sounded similar to SpongeBob’s but a bit deeper.

    “Huh?” SpongeBob wondered as he listened, but couldn’t see where the voice was coming from. “Who’s there? DarkEvil?”

    “Almost.” The voice responded with SpongeBob’s laugh, “Ha ah ah ah! I’m actually you.”

    “Me?” SpongeBob questioned, feeling more confused than ever. “I never thought I’d be talking to myself before. Where am I anyway?”

    “You can’t see me now, but I’m in the cell that’s three cells away from yours on the right.”

    “Oh,” SpongeBob understood with a shrug and smile. “I guess that makes sense. But, how can you be me if I’m me? How did you get here anyway?”

    The voice explained, “DarkEvil LaserPants captured me while I was on my way to work. I did my best to fight him off, but he was too much. Now that he has me, there’s no telling what he’ll do to everyone else, especially my family.”

    SpongeBob had a look of sympathy, feeling sorry for the stranger. “That’s terrible, Me. Even though I have no idea how you can be me. We have to get out of here so you can help your family. Plus we have to find Crash and Junior’s dad and save him from DarkEvil. Plus there’s no telling what he’ll do once he finds Buster out there.”

    The voice sighed sadly. “I’m just as worried as you are. But, don’t you worry about their dad…”

    In another cell that was three cells away from SpongeBob’s right, the figure speaking picked up a pair of large black glasses that were on the floor next to him. He put them on over his blue eyes as he finished his sentence, “…He’s just fine.”

  5. This movie was truly wonderful in terms of Steven Universe. I wouldn't call it as grand as Change Your Mind was, but it was still enjoyable coming off of that special.

    Spoiler

    First off, the animation was gorgeous. The opening was impressive with the storybook narration, it was like I was watching a Disney movie.

    All the songs were of course really well done. I found myself singing along like Let Us Adore You, Happily Ever After, and True Kinda Love.

    The part with the Crystal Gems reverting to their original program was amusing, especially Pearl becoming Greg's slave, though I never expected Amethyst becoming a blank slate. Her behavior in the flashback episodes kinda makes sense now.

    The reveal of the fusion "Steg" was such a surprise, it was also hilarious. While I would've rather have seen that Peridot/Lapis fusion and I was anticipating more new fusions, I still enjoyed seeing this new one.

    The main villain, Spinel, was an interesting threat, though I was able to figure out her purpose as the movie went on. The reveal of her backstory was interesting as it also showed what a selfish person Pink Diamond really was despite learning to be more compassionate after going to Earth. The final fight between her and Steven was great. I know people here are gonna complain that Spinel was yet another enemy who was redeemed by Steven, though you could argue that it took him longer than White Diamond, and we all know that Steven Universe is a show that tries to show that there is good in everyone and it's Steven's goal to change them for the better. Course if you think about it, the Diamonds may be better, they still can't completely get over their loss of Pink Diamond since they want Steven to be with them to fill the void and them taking Spinel cuz she reminds them of her shows that.

    Still this was a very beautiful and entertaining movie, and I would definitely watch it again and listen to the soundtrack. But I can't help but be curious of how they will continue to series since it still leaves everything concluded. Maybe show what happened between the last episode of the series and the timeskip since we still don't know what happened to Jasper and Pink Pearl. But I'd still be interested to see how they would continue to the series further.

     

  6. Chapter 8: Reunited For a While

    Later on, SpongeBob was sitting in his future living room on his future chair with his future kids playing in front of him. Crash was jumping on a small trampoline while Junior was playing with a Krusty Krab playset with Twitchy

    “Monsterattack!” Twitchy playfully yelled as he growled and kicked the playset across the room while Junior just giggled in excitement.

    SpongeBob didn’t pay attention to the kids since he just sighed and slumped in his chair, trying to ponder how exactly he was gonna stop DarkEvil LaserPants and save the kids’ father. “Gee, it was one thing defeating him once…but again?”

    “Relax, relax, relax!” Twitchy rapidly said as he sped over to SpongeBob’s side. “Justgetyourselfsomehelp!”

    “’Help’?” SpongeBob questioned since that was the only word he can make out from Twitchy speech. “I don’t know. Where can I get help around here?”

    Suddenly, banging was heard on the front door which startled everyone.

    “What in tarnation is that?” Crash wondered as he hopped off his trampoline.

    SpongeBob gasped in shock since he knew there would only be one person who would try to force their way into his home. “Oh no…” he muttered in horror, “He’s here.”

    The banging got louder as the hinges started to come off the door. Junior shrieked in fright as he hopped onto SpongeBob’s lap and held onto him, asking in a frightened tone, “What do we do?”

    SpongeBob held onto Junior as an equally frightened Crash and Twitchy come close to them as well. “We can…try and think of something.” He answered in a scared tone as he closed his eyes.

    As the sponges and squirrel tremble in fear, the door finally broke down and Sandy stood there with her held foot out as Patrick, Squidward, and Rocky came inside.

    Sandy quickly spots SpongeBob huddled with the kids. “SpongeBob!” she called.

    SpongeBob opened his eyes and got a surprised look to see who it was. “Sandy?”

    “SpongeBob!” Patrick called happily.

    “Patrick?” SpongeBob asked, even more surprised to see his two best friends. “Squidward?”

    Squidward just shrugged, uninterested. “Whatever.”

    Rocky gave a friendly smile and wave, greeting the sponge, “SpongeBob.”

    Just seeing the tall buff squirrel made SpongeBob grow angry, “Rocky?!”

    “SpongeBob Jr.!” Junior suddenly shouted as he jumped in the air cheerfully. Everyone just stared at him until he giggled and shrugged innocently. “What? Shouting out names sounded like fun.”

    Sandy went up to SpongeBob, and smiled. “We’ve been lookin’ everywhere for you, SpongeBob.”

    “You have?” SpongeBob asked with widened eyes since he didn’t anticipate Sandy coming all the way to the future with everyone just to find him.

    “Oh, yeah we did.” Patrick agreed happily. “Sandy and Rocky got me and Squidward to go to the future and find you so we can bring you back.”

    “They did?”

    “Uh huh,” Patrick said with a nod. “Rocky was the one who tracked you down. We were all impressed, especially Sandy.”

    Suddenly, SpongeBob felt all his anger returning. “Oh, really?” he asked in tranquil fury.

    “That’s what he said.” Junior added, smiling at SpongeBob. “But, didn’t you say that Rocky wasn’t a nice guy?”

    “Junior.” SpongeBob whispered loudly, not wanting his hatred of Rocky to be publicly known.

    Sandy approached him and stated, “Well, SpongeBob, it’s great that we found ya safe and sound, but it’s time that we get ya back home.”

    “No can do, Sandy.” SpongeBob denied. “I made a promise to Junior and his siblings, and I intend to keep it.”

    Unimpressed that SpongeBob was refusing to return to his own timeline after they came all this way, Sandy informed him, “Well, ya have no business struttin’ around the future. We have to leave now before you cause any damage.”

    However, SpongeBob retorted, “There is already someone causing damage around here and its not me! Well…technically it is me…but, I’m the only one here who can stop him!” he then crossed his arms and turned away from Sandy. “Besides, why don’t you take Rocky back? I’m sure you two have a future that’s waiting for you.”

    “What does any of this have to do with Rocky?” Sandy shouted angrily.

    “Because you think he’s so great!” SpongeBob turned back around and yelled at Sandy’s face.

    Squidward, Patrick, and Rocky stared in surprise to see SpongeBob blowing up at Sandy. Junior began to quietly whimper at seeing the confrontation while Crash hid behind Twitchy as both boys felt the awkward tension.

    Still arguing with SpongeBob, Sandy yelled, “I don’t know what any of that has to do with anything!”

    “I DON’T EITHER!!!” SpongeBob screamed at the top of his voice before he started stomping away, but then turned back to Sandy, “And I am never going back! Not now, not ever!”

    When SpongeBob stormed out the front door with everyone watching, Squidward scoffed, “What’s up with him?”

    Twitchy held the sides of his head as he panicked, “Thatwashorrible! Horrible, horrible!”

    “Miss. Sandy,” Crash calmly asked as he turned to the older squirrel, “Can ya go and bring him back for us?”

    “Yeah,” Junior agreed as he started shivering in fright. “What if that mean scary guy in the mask gets him?”

    Sandy groaned in frustration as she smacked her helmet. “Alright, I’ll go get him. And we’re draggin’ his square behind back home even if I have to kick it there myself.”

    When she was about to walk away, Rocky grabbed her shoulder and said, “Actually, Sandy, why don’t I go and get him?”

    “You wanna do it? Gee, I don’t know. He acts sorta nutty when he’s around you.”

    Rocky just continued to have a confident look. “Oh, don’t worry about me, Sandy. I’m sure once SpongeBob and I have a nice chat, everything will be alright between us.”

    Sandy smiled and nodded. “Alright, if you think it’ll work.”

    “Swell.” Rocky said with a sly smile as he walked away to find SpongeBob.

    Squidward just scoffed and said, “Well, while he tries to get that over-dramatic yellow freak under control, I’m gonna go see the clarinets of the future.”

    When he tried to walk away, Junior suddenly popped up in front of him. “Oh, can I come too? It’ll be fun! After that, we can play tag, blow bubbles, eat ice-cream, play Duck, Duck, Hermit Crab, watch TV, make a sandman, buy some candy, go to the petting zoo, throw the…” but before he could go on, Squidward suddenly covered Junior’s mouth.

    “Please don’t tell me you’re the SpongeBob of the future.” Squidward groaned hopefully.

    However, Junior was muttering some unintelligible words with Squidward’s tentacle over his mouth.

    “Hmm…” Sandy thought as she stared at Junior, Crash, and Twitchy as she felt some sort of strange familiar connection with them. “‘SpongeBob of the future’…”

     

    Meanwhile, SpongeBob was walking down the street of his neighborhood as he slumped over and sniffled like he had been crying after his terrible confrontation with Sandy.

    “I can’t believe it.” SpongeBob cried as a tear fell out of his eye. “This future is just as miserable as it was before.”

    But unbeknownst to him, something was stomping up behind him and eyed him through a high-tech screen, moving a snipe target on SpongeBob’s body.

    “I can’t even believe myself for saying all that stuff to Sandy. Oh, what am I gonna do now?”

    However, SpongeBob stopped and looked up to see his oldest future son walking towards the distance ahead.

    “That’s odd,” SpongeBob said, confused to see Buster outside when he knows how dangerous it could be at the moment. “I wonder what Buster could be doing out here all by himself…especially with DarkEvil lurking somewhere around.”

    Then a large metal foot stomped behind him. “SpongeBob…” it said with a deep voice.

    “Did somebody call me?” SpongeBob wondered as he turned around, but a large metal hand suddenly sprung out and grabbed him, knocking him out before he even had time to gasp.

  7. Chapter 7: No Help Necessary

    SpongeBob held Junior’s hand as they walked out of the alley in order to find help in rescuing Junior’s father from DarkEvil LaserPants. “Which way to your house from here?” SpongeBob asked Junior.

    Junior tried to think. “Uh…um…uh…” he stammered, obviously not knowing the answer.

    “You…don’t know where to go, do you?” SpongeBob assumed.

    Shrugging, Junior responded, “Usually Crash and Twitchy lead the way home and I follow them.”

    SpongeBob sighed sadly as he said, “I guess my future is as doomed here as it was before.”

    But then, something landed in front of them, nearly hitting them. It was Crash, who was riding a hoverboard.

    “Well, there y’all are.” Crash cheerfully said as he stepped on the ground. “Ma went out lookin’ for ya.”

    “Crash,” SpongeBob said in relief to see his other future son was still safe from DarkEvil. “I need you take us to your house. Your dad’s in huge trouble- your other dad anyway.”

    “Holy krabby patties!” Crash shouted as held his head. “We better head on home and come up with a strategy.”

    “Hooray! A strategy!” Junior cheered until he turned to SpongeBob. “What’s a strategy?”

    SpongeBob then asked Crash, “You think you can show us the way to your house?”

    “Ya darn tootin’ I can!” Crash replied as he pulled SpongeBob and Junior onto his hoverboard.

    “Wait a minute!” SpongeBob shouted. “Couldn’t we just walk there?”

    “Walk?!” Crash questioned as he laughed. “Walkin’ is for safe people!”

    He pushed a button on the hoverboard with his foot, and the board began to fly in the air. SpongeBob shrieked a bit as he held onto Junior and Crash.

    “Extreme!” Crash called out as he pushed another button with his foot and the hoverboard took off at fast speed with SpongeBob and Junior screaming and holding on to Crash for dear life.

    Meanwhile, Sandy, Rocky, Squidward, and Patrick were still walking down the sidewalk, looking for SpongeBob.

    “We’re wasting time.” Squidward groaned. “We haven’t seen sight of that yellow nit-wit anywhere.”

    “We just need to keep searchin’.” Sandy encouraged. “He’s bound to show up anywhere.”

    Just then, the hoverboard with Crash, Junior, and SpongeBob zoomed right passed them with SpongeBob screaming in fear, and Crash cheering.

    “What the barnacle was that?” Squidward wondered.

    Patrick squinted his eyes as he pondered, “It looked like a futuristic skateboard.”

    “Hmm…” Sandy pondered as well. “I coulda sworn I saw SpongeBob on that thing.”

    “We better follow it, Sandy.” Rocky suggested. “There’s a chance it might lead to him.”

    “Great idea, partner.” Sandy said as she began to run ahead. “Let’s hurry and catch up to it.”

    As Sandy, Rocky, and Patrick run ahead, Squidward comments, “Makes sense he would ruin everyone’s lives in this timeline.” He then runs off to join the others.

    Crash drove the hoverboard through Bikini Bottom over the street with SpongeBob screaming, “Do you know how to ride this thing?!”

    “Sure do!” Crash excitedly shouts back. “I do this every Monday!”

    “Look!” Junior pointed as the two look to see they were about to crash into a hovertruck.

    The three screamed loudly as Crash pulls up the hoverboard, having them safely fly over the truck. While SpongeBob and Junior looked horrified, Crash just smiles and cheers, “Whoo! We were almost road scrap back there!”

    SpongeBob just gulped and muttered, “This sponge is trying to kill me.”

    As they flew high in the air, they were over Conch Street and spotted what normally would look like SpongeBob’s pineapple house, only it now look expanded with extra rooms attached to it.

    “I see our house from up here!” Junior gleefully pointed out.

    SpongeBob stared at it as well, taking a few seconds to actually recognize it as such. “Hey, that is my house! Although…there’s something different about it that I just can’t put my finger on.”

    “Come on, y’all!” Crash yelled as he lifted up his foot. “Let’s head in!”

    “No wait, Crash!” SpongeBob tried to warn. “I don’t think that’s such a good-”

    But Crash had already pressed down on a button with his foot and the hoverboard went flying toward the house with SpongeBob screaming in panic. While Junior just buried his face in Crash’s back so he won’t have to look, Crash just grin, not realizing how terrified his passengers are.

    “I’m havin’ fun too!” Crash shouted over SpongeBob’s screaming.

    They then crash through the top floor of the house and both land through the ceiling of a room. SpongeBob coughed from all the dust while he was stuck in the wall with Junior and the hoverboard.

    “Uh oh,” Junior said with the bottom half of his body sticking out from the wall, “We broke the house.”

    Crash had his head stuck in the pink wall as he tried pulling himself out. When he did, he landed on a small round white table where a bunch of tea stuff was placed.

    Crash looked up to see three seven-year-old squirrels that were sitting around the table. The first squirrel had brown fur, wore a light blue shirt and dark blue dress with blue shoes, and her hair tied in a blue flower. The second squirrel had blonde fur, wore a pink shirt with a red plaid dress and red shoes, and had her hair tied in a pink heart clip. The third squirrel had brown fur with her hair and tail blonde, a light purple shirt and dark purple dress and shoes, and a purple bow tied in her hair.

    The first squirrel stood up and yelled, “Crash!”

    “We’re tellin’ Mom…” the second squirrel shouted in a southern accent.

    “You crashed through the ceiling again!” the third squirrel finished.

    Crash stood up on the table and enthusiastically replied, “I know! Wasn’t it awesome, Sally? I know you’re thinkin’ that, Dolly! Don’t pretend you don’t think so, Ally!”
    Then, SpongeBob managed to get himself out of the wall and he landed in a small pink chair in front of the table. Seeing the older sponge surprised the three young squirrels, but they smile and surround him with curiosity.

    “Hey there,” the brown squirrel, Sally, greeted.

    “Who are you?” the blonde squirrel, Dolly, asked.

    The mixed squirrel, Ally, observes SpongeBob as she asks, “And why do you look so familiar?”

    SpongeBob looked a little uncomfortable as he rose from the small chair, but politely answered their questions, “Well…In order: my name is SpongeBob, and I’m here to save Junior and Crash’s dad from a terrible fate. As for why I look familiar, well…I’m not entirely sure. I don’t think we’ve ever met.”

    However, Ally just glared. “Well, whoever you are…”

    Crossing her arms, Dolly added, “You, Crash, and Junior just ruined…”

    Sally concludes, “Our tea party!”

    “Gee, we sure are sorry, girls.” SpongeBob apologized.

    Junior finally pushes himself out of the wall and lands safely in SpongeBob’s arm. He smiles and apologizes to the girls like SpongeBob did. “Uh huh.” He added with a smile

    Crash just hopped off the table and carelessly shrugged while saying, “Nah…”

    “Come on, Crash,” SpongeBob urged as he pushed him forward. “Be nice and apologize.”

    Crash gave a relenting sigh and apologized, “I’m sorry.” Then he scowled while shifting his eyes away and whispered to SpongeBob, “You’re just like Pa.”

    Smiling at the sponge’s apologizing, Sally states, “That’s okay.”

    “At least you didn’t wreck this.” Ally mentioned as she held a small bottle with glowing blue liquid inside.

    “Hmm…” SpongeBob said as he stared at it. “That’s some strange futuristic tea.”

    Dolly giggled in amusement and pointed out, “That ain’t the tea, silly.”

    “Yeah, it’s our latest invention.” Sally explained.

    “The High Inducing Energy Potion.” Ally finished.

    “We all just call it the Energy Potion for short.” Dolly added.

    Junior smiled in interest. “Ooh, what does it do? Can I try it first?”

    Sally held it out of his reach and explained, “If anyone were to drink this, it would give them the energy to do anything.”

    “Even if that person don’t have any energy at all.” Dolly added.

    SpongeBob stared at the drink in just as much excitement as Junior. “Sounds like my kind of energy drink of the future. Mind if I have a bottle? Maybe I can use it while working out.”

    “Sure. We need a test subject anyway.” Sally replied as she gave SpongeBob the bottle. “If it works on you, we can make a whole bunch.”

    “Thank you.” SpongeBob smiled, stuffing the potion into his pocket.

    As he walked out of the room with the two sponge kids, the three squirrels watched the sponges leave as Sally mentions, “You know…”

    Dolly holds her chin as he ponders, “He does kinda look like…”

    “Dad…” Ally finished with a confused look.

     

    As SpongeBob walks down the hall with the kids, he asks, “Who were those three adorable girls anyway?”

    Walking away, Crash nonchalantly answered, “Oh, they’re just our sisters.”

    “Your sisters?” SpongeBob asked with his eyes widened, wondering how in the heck the two sponges could be related to three squirrels.

    “Uh huh!” Junior agreed as he gleefully skipped away to where Crash went.

    SpongeBob just stood there with a confused look on his face by everything he just learned. “Hmm…there are some things in this future that are just so confusing.” The he noticed Crash and Junior no longer with him. “Whoops, better go find Crash and Junior, and maybe even see what future improvements have come upon SquarePants Manor.”

    But when SpongeBob took a step forward, a door slammed open in his face and knocked him down to the ground. SpongeBob groaned in pain as he saw Buster poke his head from behind the door.

    “Oh, hey, Buster.” SpongeBob weakly greeted as he sat up. “Didn’t see ya there.”

    Buster just narrowed his eyes and stood there silently. As SpongeBob stared at the teenage sponge, he realizes that he hasn’t heard Buster say a word since he met him.

    SpongeBob just stood there awkwardly until he tries to make conversation with him, “So…I guess since I’m Junior and Crash’s dad in this future and you’re their brother, I guess that makes me your dad too. Ha ah ah ah!” he laughed until Buster slammed the door closed in his face.

    SpongeBob had a concerned look on his face, having not expected Buster to be unexcited by meeting a past version of his father. SpongeBob knocked on the door and called, “Okay! But, I think I should tell you that your dad has been captured by DarkEvil LaserPants! He’s my…evil future self, you know. But not to worry; I’m not anything like him!”

    Buster then opens his door and continues to stand there, still not saying anything.

    “You don’t have to be afraid, Buster.” SpongeBob gently assured him. “I promised Junior that I’d fix everything, and I promise I’ll help you too.”

    Buster then glared at SpongeBob, and finally SAYS in a quiet voice, “I don’t need your help.”

    SpongeBob had a look of surprise at hearing Buster finally speak until he chuckled, “Ha, ah ah ah! So that’s what you sound like.”
    But, Buster slammed the door in SpongeBob’s face again, only this time SpongeBob held it open.

    “Wait, Buster!” SpongeBob called to him as he struggled to keep the door open. “I really wanna help you too!”

    Buster just continued to try and close the door as he replied, “I told you…I’ll handle this myself.”

    “But, if you really can handle this by yourself, then why did you bring me here?” SpongeBob asked until Buster opened the door, causing SpongeBob to fall to the ground in Buster’s room, yelping until he lied at Buster’s feet.

    “I just need you to watch Crash, Junior, and the others.” Buster answered as he crossed his arms while scowling. “I’ll defeat DarkEvil on my own.”

    “But, I’ve beaten DarkEvil before.” SpongeBob pointed out. “And I can do it again.”

    “Yeah, right.” Buster dismissed as he walked out of his room. “You don’t even understand what’s going on.”

    SpongeBob stood up with a confused and saddened expression on his face as he watched his oldest future son disappear and reject his offer of help. “Gee…he’s nothing like Crash and Junior.”

  8. I thought this movie was really amazing! After not seeing Invader Zim on tv for years, this special did not disappointment and had me laughing throughout the whole thing. Out of both Enter the Florpus and Static Cling, I think this one was my favorite.

    Spoiler

    When I saw the previews, I could tell that the movie would be adapting the first issue of the comic, which it did. But up until the part where Dib gets back into shape, the plot divulges from the comic and goes off to do its own thing, but still ends up being very good. The opening part was really funny with Dib's narration over the anime style animation. I also really enjoyed Gaz's characterization, while this too is actually adapted from the comics where she is no longer the emotionless uncaring sister, but takes interest in Dib's antics just so she can torment him about it and shows more emotions. The side plot of Dib wanting to make his dad proud him was very nice and sweet, never thought IZ could be capable of being sweet. Dib comparing his situation with his dad to Zim's situation with the Tallest was good, I didn't even notice it before. It was great to see Zim get the upperhand over Dib and finally accomplishing his goal to take over the earth. While I remember there were episodes where Zim would one-up Dib, he seemed to really be on his game this time by pretending to be pathetic and unleashing his plan when both Dib and Gaz had their guards down. GIR's peace song was annoying catchy, and of course seeing Zim being completely oblivious to the danger everyone was in and being in denial to the fact that he screwed up was nothing new since that has been seen in the show numerous times. I also didn't expect the Florpus to be some kind of deadly wormhole. The last act was the best part for me with the Membrane family teaming up against Zim to save the earth from the Florpus, all while Membrane himself is oblivious to the fact that alien life is real despite being face to face with it and him being the one to save everyone. The changing art styles while in the Florpus was amazing, and this being the fate of the Tallest was hilarious. Overall, this was an amazing special with great jokes, humor, and characters.

     

    • Happy 3
  9. Finally got to watch this and I loved it. It was great having Rocko back after all this time and I enjoyed all the little references they made to the series. Spunky with his obsession for mops, Chewy Chicken has gone back to being good ol Chokey Chicken, the cameos from past characters, and a lot of other stuff you'd have to look hard for. I liked the results of Conglomo trying to reboot the Fatheads with CGI, that was a nice little take-that at poor executive handled reboots. Also the whole Ralph becoming Rachel was handled really well. Ed not accepting her at first was understandable given he was already stressed with all the changes in his life and he has never been accepting of his son's choices before, but them reconciling at the end was sweet, along with Rachel taking her parents on the road. It was also an interesting twist that Rocko did not enjoy the Fatheads due to the addition of a baby, but it cemented the lesson that you have to move on from the past and look towards the future. This was wonderful follow up Rocko after 20 years and the special was worth the wait.

  10. Chapter 6: Father/Sponge Bonding

    In the town of Future Bikini Bottom, a large portal appeared and out of it came Sandy, Rocky, Patrick, and Squidward.

    Patrick laughed in enjoyment. “That was fun. Let’s do it again.”

    “Nit-wit. I still can’t believe I was talked into doing this.” Squidward complained as he frowned. He looked around in wonder, “Where are we anyway?”

    Sandy answered, “We’ve landed twenty years into the future. This has to be where SpongeBob is.”

    “The future, eh?” Squidward said with sudden interest as he looked around at all the high-tech stuff. “Well, since we’re here, I wouldn’t mind having a look around to see what awaits me.”

    “I wonder what future pizza tastes like.” Patrick wondered.

    “We don’t have time to look around.” Sandy stated with seriousness. “We have to find SpongeBob before he gets into trouble and messes up somethin’ around here.”

    “She’s right, boys.” Rocky said as he put his hand on Sandy’s shoulder. “After all, you two were recruited specially for this mission. So, it’s best to stick with the assignment you were both given.”

    “Yes, sir!” Patrick said as he saluted while Squidward just groaned in response.

    “Now come on!” Sandy signaled as she began to run off. “He could be anywhere.”

    When Sandy and the others ran off in one direction, they went past an alley with a dumpster in it. Unbeknownst to them, crying was heard next to it.

    Sitting next to the dumpster was SpongeBob as he wiped a tear out of his eyes after having run away from Future Sandy and the kids from the future, having just learned that his future with the Sandy from his timeline may not be the one he hoped for, and he just couldn’t take it.

    “Mr. SpongeBob?” a small voice asked as SpongeBob gasped to see Junior standing next to him.

    “Oh, Junior, it’s you.” SpongeBob realized until he lowered his head. “If that is your real name.”

    “Uh…is it?” Junior wondered as he sat down next SpongeBob.

    “Well, I heard Sandy call you something else like…‘SpongeBob Jr.’.” SpongeBob mentioned. “You have the same name as me.”

    “I know! Isn’t that great?!” Junior enthusiastically asked as he hugged SpongeBob. “My mommy and daddy named me that. My daddy said it was mostly his idea, but they only call me that when they’re mad at me. Also, they usually just call me ‘Junior’ like the way my brothers and sisters call me that.”

    SpongeBob couldn’t help but giggle. “Sounds fascinating, Junior, or should I say…SpongeBob Jr. Ha ah ah ah ah!”

    “Ha ah ah ah ah!” Junior giggled also, which was a lot like SpongeBob’s own laugh. “Buster wonders why you cry so much. So…why DO you cry so much?”

    SpongeBob sighed sadly and explained, “Well…I don’t normally cry so much, but…I’ve known Sandy for a long time and she’s always been my best friend. But, there are times when I secretly think she could be the love of my life.”

    “I know exactly what you mean.” Junior suddenly said.

    “You do?”

    “Yeah, Crash and Twitchy are kinda like my best friends and I love them.” Junior said as he smiled. “So, I guess that makes them the love of MY life.”

    SpongeBob chuckled a bit. “Well…this is a bit different.” But then, he sighed sadly again as he pulled the small box out of his pocket. “I just never realized how impossible it was to win that love of my life, especially with Rocky standing in my way.”

    “Ooh…” Junior said, amazed by his story. “That Rocky guy doesn’t sound very nice.”

    “You’d be surprised.” SpongeBob said as he opened the box to let Junior see the pearl. “If only Sandy could see that.”

    “Wow…” Junior stared at the pearl with big glowing eyes. “It’s so pretty.”

    “You really think so?”

    Junior nodded. “Uh huh, Mommy has one just like that. She said Daddy gave it to her a long time ago.”

    SpongeBob stared at the pearl, a bit puzzled by what Junior said, until he closed the box and put it back in his pocket. “I guess your dad and I think a lot alike.”

    But then, a small metal ball suddenly dropped in front of them.

    “Hey, someone dropped something!” Junior smiled as he was about to pick it up until SpongeBob grabbed his arm and stopped him.

    “I don’t know, Junior.” SpongeBob said in uncertainty. “There’s something suspicious about it.”

    Suddenly, the ball opened up and let out a holographic screen. “Wow, you’re right!” Junior agreed as he stared.

    Then the screen turned on to show a picture of none other than DarkEvil LaserPants, who still looked the same as he did last time with his black outfit and Darth Vader mask. SpongeBob gasped in horror at seeing the thing he very nearly became in the future.

    “Oh no…” SpongeBob uttered in terror as he trembled against the wall. “It can’t be…it just can’t be!”

    “It is.” DarkEvil coldly responded to his past self. “You feeling scared?”

    “N-N-No.” SpongeBob answered in a trembling voice, showing that he was indeed frightened by the very sight of his evil future self. “But…how is it that you’re back? What do you want?!”

    In a careless tone, DarkEvil casually responded, “Oh, I already have what I want.” With a pause he stared closely at the screen, “You.”

    “Me?” SpongeBob questioned, feeling confused. “But…you don’t have me.”

    “Don’t I?” then the screen changes to show an image that makes SpongeBob and Junior gasp in shock.

    SpongeBob couldn’t believe what he saw on the hologram screen. “He looks kinda like…”

    “No!” Junior cried as his eyes started to water and he bit on his fingers after seeing the image as well and instantly recognizing what he saw. “He’s got my…he’s got my…he’s got my daddy! WHAAA!!!”

    “‘Daddy’?” SpongeBob asked in a surprised tone, never guessing that the person he saw was Junior’s father- which to him could only mean one thing.

    The screen switched back to DarkEvil LaserPants. “That’s right, SpongeBob.” He gloated in an icy tone, “I already have your future.”

    As SpongeBob saw Junior still crying, he suddenly stood up with a determined frown and he stared DarkEvil in the face. “Let Junior’s daddy go, DarkEvil! It’s me you want!” but then he got a confused look and retracted, “Wait, that didn’t come out right.”

    DarkEvil just laughed in mockery and retorted, “Oh, don’t you worry, SpongeBob. You’re the one I really want to destroy. So, I’ll be coming for you soon. I’ll be in touch.”

    The screen shut off, and SpongeBob saw the ball close up and gave a small self-destruct. He then turned to Junior, who was still crying over finding out that his father is being held hostage by a madman.

    “Hey, don’t cry, Junior.” SpongeBob gently said as he kneeled down to him. “It’ll all be alright.”

    “But, SpongeBob, he has my daddy.” Junior mentioned as he continued crying.

    “But, Junior, I think I’m starting to understand that I’m your daddy also.” SpongeBob pointed out, “Just…from another time.”

    Junior gasped in shock at this revelation as he smiled. “Really?” he asked, jumping to his feet.

    “Oh yeah,” SpongeBob said as he then raised his hand. “And I promise as your dad, I’ll save your other dad from DarkEvil LaserPants, and fix everything the way it’s supposed to be.”

    Hearing this, Junior smiled with joy and hugged SpongeBob. “Oh, thank you, Daddy!”

    “Sure thing, Junior.” SpongeBob replied as he returned his embrace. “But where can we start?”

    “We can go to my house.” Junior suggested as he let go of SpongeBob. “Maybe my mommy or my brothers will know what to do.”

    While not sure how Junior’s brothers or Junior’s mother, whoever she may be, would be able to help, SpongeBob scratched his head when he realized he didn’t have a lot of options at the moment. “Well, I guess it’s worth a shot.” He ultimately replied, “Let’s do it!”

    “YEAH!!!” SpongeBob Jr. shouted as he jumped in the air.

  11. A never expected an episode with this plot to be so great. I really enjoyed PlanKrabs as a character, being a fusion of Plankton and Mr. Krabs. He has Plankton's cunning and Krabs's deceitfulness, which is so good that he can even get SpongeBob to accept him as a boss and forget about Mr. Krabs and the Krusty Krab when it's changed to the Krusty Bucket. Seeing Plankton and Krabs joining forces was great and it goes a lot better than the last few times they worked together. I liked the whole handshake thing and how it apparently has the power to manipulate anyone into doing what PlanKrabs wants. I don't get it, but it's funny. Plankton coughing up hair I could take it or leave it, but the whole episode was great from the get go.

    • Like 1
  12. I really liked this episode. I thought the Karen getting  a baby in the mail, turning her and Plankton into parents was great. Plankton not caring about being a father until the end was interesting too. Chip growing rapidly was pretty humorous to see as well. I especially laughed at the 4445 joke. I enjoyed the ending where Plankton and Chip save each other and what may be the first time in years where we get a reference to the fact that Plankton went to college- seeing that his son is now going to college. I do hope we see Chip Plankton again.

  13. Chapter 5: Squirrel Attack

    In the future of Bikini Bottom, SpongeBob, Buster, Crash, and Junior were walking down the street to direction of the home where the three sponge children lived.

    “Wow…” an amazed SpongeBob said as he continued to walk with the others and take in the sights of the futuristic Bikini Bottom. “Last time I came here to the future, I never wanted to come back. But now that I see the future is a wonderful place after all, I can’t wait for it.”

    “Ya don’t have to.” Crash said as he cart-wheeled over to SpongeBob. “Later on, Junior and I can show ya around. I can even perform a stunt to your likin’.”

    SpongeBob got a confused smile as he asked, “You really like to live on the dangerous side, do you?”

    “Sure do.” Crash contently answered, “Mama and Daddy think I should take it easy with it all, but I LOVE it!”

    “He LOVES it!” Junior shouted as he jumped next to Crash.

    SpongeBob couldn’t help but laugh. “Well…I guess I can’t-” but he was suddenly interrupted when a fast blur sped by him, nearly knocking him off his feet. “Whoa, what was that?”

    However, none of the sponge children looked surprised like SpongeBob. Junior simply smiled with excitement as he announced, “He’s here!”

    Crash got a determined look as he stood in place with a widened stance until the same fast blur crashed into him, tumbling on the ground on top of Crash until they both come to a complete stop. It was actually a young eleven-year-old squirrel that wore a red long-sleeved shirt, blue overalls, had some brown fur sticking up on his head, red freckles, and was wearing an air helmet.

    Crash smiled as he hugged the squirrel. “Twitchy!” he shouted with joy, “You came!”

    “I knew you would!” Junior cried as he joined in the hug.

    “OfcourseIcame! Iwaswatin’foryouallthistime!” the squirrel, Twitchy said at incredible speed. “Waitin’, waitin’, waitin’!”

    Not understanding a word that the squirrel said, SpongeBob scratched his head in confusion. “Uh…I didn’t get that the first time. Can you repeat it please?”

    Then Twitchy spotted SpongeBob, and he sped all around him as he stared at all his corners. “Whoisthisguy? I’veneverseenhimbefore! Whoishe?” Twitchy rapidly asked.

    However, SpongeBob still could not understand his fast speech pattern. “Uh…Can you run that by me again?”

    But then, Crash got in front of Twitchy and explained, “This here’s SpongeBob, us three found him in the past.”

    “The past, the past, the past?!” Twitchy asked as he jumped up and down in excitement while twitching his right eye. “Thatcanonlymeanonething! One thing!”

    But before anyone could respond to whatever it was Twitchy asked, a laser suddenly shot above their heads as they yelped and quickly ducked down. SpongeBob looked up and spotted a bulky robot holding a trident.

    “I know that robot.” SpongeBob whispered to himself; recognized the attacking droid as he stood up in shock.

    Behind the robot that shot at them were six other robots just like it. Junior’s eyes started to water as if about to cry. “They’re gonna eat us!”

    “I knew robots would invade the world!” a panicking Twitchy shouted as his right eyes twitches. “I knew it!”

    “I knew it too!” an equally panicked Crash shouted at Twitchy.

    But then, SpongeBob intervened and started pushing the two boys in the opposite direction. “Come on, guys! We gotta get out of here!”

    Buster grabbed Junior’s hand, and started running away with the others. When Twitchy and the sponges were running away from the robots while they fired at them, SpongeBob accidentally tripped on a rock and fell on his face while the robots advance towards him. Buster gasped in fright, and Crash, Junior, and Twitchy all shouted, “SpongeBob!”

    SpongeBob trembled with his eyes closed as the robot was about to fire a beam at him. Suddenly, a voiced shouted, “Hi-Ya!” and a fist sliced the robot in half.

    “Huh?” SpongeBob wondered as he opened his eyes to see who saved him. It was the Future Sandy, who now wore a sliver top and skirt, and air helmet, and still retained her ironic future hairstyle of two buns on the sides of her head. “Future Sandy…” he said with big glowing eyes, remembering her from his last visit to the future.

    Seeing the adult female squirrel as well made Junior, Crash, and Twitchy all smile happily as if they knew her personally.

    Future Sandy then karate kicked another robot, and punched two other robots with her fists. SpongeBob then got an idea and took out his bubble soap as blew a bubble at a robot, which caused it to short-circuit. Then Future Sandy karate sliced through the last robot and broke it into pieces.

    As SpongeBob watched the robot go down, he couldn’t help but wonder, “What are those PlankEvil bots doing here in the good future?”

    He knew that in an apocalyptic future version of Bikini Bottom, Plankton used those robots to overrun the city and conquer it for himself. But this future looked free and lively, so evil robots wouldn’t have any reason to exist.

    Future Sandy wiped her hands clean as she stated, “That’ll teach ya varmints to attack innocent children.”

    “Wow, Future Sandy!” SpongeBob greeted as he walked over to her. “You really saved us.”

    “SpongeBob!” Future Sandy joyfully shouted with a smile as she turned to him, “I was wonderin’ where you-” but before she could embrace him, she stopped and got a perplexed expression when she noticed something about the sponge from the past.

    Future Sandy continued staring at him until she noticed the kids standing in the back. Her expression turns to anger as she marched past SpongeBob and went towards the kids.

    “Uh…Sandy?” SpongeBob tried calling, but she ignored him.

    When Future Sandy reached the kids, she put her hands on her hips and stood in front of them, sternly asking, “Do y’all have an explanation for this?”

    Junior got on his knees and cried, “It wasn’t my fault!”

    “Yeah,” Crash agreed before pointing at the older sponge, “Buster was the one who dun talked us into goin’ to the past. Junior and I just agreed cuz it sounded like fun.”

    Future Sandy glared at Buster while asking, “Is that true?”

    Buster just shifted his brown eyes in one direction, looking guilty and not saying anything.

    Then, Future Sandy turned angrily towards Twitchy, “And how long have YOU known about this?”

    Gulping nervously, Twitchy answered, “Ijustfigureditout! I mean…I just figured out they came back.”

    SpongeBob watched the whole confrontation, viewing it as a scene of a mother scold her children for doing something naughty. “Hmm…I wonder why Sandy’s so mad at them.”

    Future Sandy looked at the three sponges in disappointment, still scolding them, “Buster! Crash! SpongeBob Jr.! Y’all are gonna have a word with your father when he gets back!”

    “‘Father’?” SpongeBob questioned out loud. He had heard the boys mention their father a couple times, but has yet to see the man. What confused him even more was hearing that the Junior shared the same name as him.

    “And you, Twitchy,” Sandy scolded, turning to the young squirrel. “I’ll deal with you later.”

    Hanging his head in shame, Twitchy responds, “Yes, Ma.”

    “‘MA’?!” SpongeBob questioned even louder upon hearing this. “You mean Sandy is Twitchy’s mother?!”

    Afterwards, Future Sandy turned to SpongeBob with a friendly smile. “Sorry, SpongeBob, I know you’re from the past, but don’t worry. I’ll have you back soon ‘nuff.”

    Suddenly, SpongeBob had a heartbroken expression and turned around, slumping over as he responded, “No thanks, Sandy.”

    “’No thanks’?” Future Sandy questioned. “But ya gotta go back.”

    “I can’t, Sandy.” SpongeBob sadly explained, still not facing her. “The past holds nothing but pain and misery. It’d be better for me…and everyone else…if I were to stay here.”

    Not pleased with the past SpongeBob’s decision, Sandy demanded to know, “What do you mean?”

    All of a sudden, SpongeBob faces forward and screams at the top of his voice in anger, “GO ASK ROCKY!!!” without another word, SpongeBob runs off in tears.

    “SpongeBob, wait!” Future Sandy called, but to no avail.

    The kids looked at each other in bafflement as they watched SpongeBob run away until Future Sandy turned to them with a look of disappointment. Despite this, Crash, Junior, and Twitchy just give her sheepish grins.

    “Y’all are grounded for three months.” She dully says.

  14. Chapter 4: Back to the Future

    In what looked like Bikini Bottom, a portal appeared behind the back of a building. From out of the portal came SpongeBob as he fell flat on his face followed by Buster as he landed on SpongeBob’s back. When Buster got off of him, Crash landed on top of SpongeBob.

    “What a ride!” Crash shouted with his fist in the air.

    Then Junior fell out of the portal and landed on top of SpongeBob also. “We made it.” Junior smiled.

    The two sponges looked around, noticing the adult sponge nowhere in sight. “Where’s SpongeBob?” Junior asked.

    They heard a muffled sound as they kept glancing around, hoping to find out if SpongeBob came into the time machine with them. Crash held his chin and pondered, “I do believe I hear him, but I don’t see him anywhere.”

    Crash and Junior hear a cough as they look at Buster, who just dully frowns and points downward. The two sponges look down to see they’re on top of SpongeBob.

    “Oh no!” Junior gasped as he and his brother quickly got off of SpongeBob and helped the dazed and battered sponge up. “We’re sorry, Mr. SpongeBob! Please forgive us!”

    “It’s okay, guys.” SpongeBob weakly smiled. “I didn’t even feel anything.”

    Crash took a peek from behind the building, and he smiled with joy, “Hey, everyone! We’re home!”

    SpongeBob, Buster, and Junior come out to look, and SpongeBob reacted with surprise to see Bikini Bottom looked a little different. There were flying boats, some people were walking their snails that had jetpacks on their shells, and one fish was holding a laser gun as he walked over to a trashcan and zapped it, causing the whole thing to disintegrate.

    “Wow…” SpongeBob said in awe. “Is this the…”

    “The future!” Junior answered for him.

    Still, SpongeBob was shocked to see how wonderful the future looked compared to the last time he time traveled. “But, I’ve been to the future before, and it was never like this.”

    “Really?” Junior questioned. “I’ve lived here a LONG time and it’s always been like this.”

    “Not unless you remember the Bikini Bottom we were just at.” Crash mentioned, “Where the danger there is just kid stuff.”

    “So, you guys live here?” SpongeBob asked, not even realizing that the three young sponges came from the future.

    “Uh huh,” Junior answered with a loving smile. “Daddy says it’s the best place to live ever.”

    SpongeBob laughed in amusement. “I agree with him one hundred percent there.” Then he looked around to spot the Krusty Krab. He suddenly smiled widely to see the restaurant still existed and looked like it was still in business. “Hey, it’s the Krusty Krab! And it’s still standing!”

    Buster frowned in annoyance as he whispered something into Crash’s ear. Crash gets a disappointed look as he asks, “Do we have to?” Buster eyed him sternly until Crash sighed in defeat, “Alright.”

    Crash went over to SpongeBob, and informed him, “Buster thinks we should head to our house.”

    “Aww...I just want one look at the Krusty Krab.” SpongeBob got on his knees and begged, “Please, please, please, please, please, please!”

    “Please!” Junior also begged on his knees in the exact same way SpongeBob did.

    Unable to take the whining from both sponges, Buster just rolled his eyes and silently shrugged in response.

    Taking this as a ‘yes’, SpongeBob and Junior both jumped in the air for joy as they cheer, “Whoo-hoo!”

     

    When the sponges go inside the Krusty Krab, SpongeBob was amazed that it looked a lot better than it did during his last visit to the future. There were many customers sitting at tables, eating krabby patties like they did in the present day Bikini Bottom.

    “Wow,” SpongeBob said with a heartfelt smile as he looked around the restaurant. “The Krusty Krab hasn’t changed a bit.”

    “I always bring my own spatula.” Junior mentioned to SpongeBob as he held up his own plastic toy spatula.

    SpongeBob chuckled in amusement, “Maybe someday you can be a great fry cook like me.”

    Junior smiled until he spotted someone familiar and started running away as he leapt through the air onto someone and gave him a bug hug. It was the Future Squidward, who still wore his regular shirt and had a long white beard.

    “Uncle Squidward!” Junior cried happily. “I’m so happy to see you!”

    Future Squidward just had an annoyed look. “Do you have to say that every time I see you?” he snapped as he pulled Junior off of him. “And haven’t I told your father that Bring Your Kid to Work Day is a dumb-” but then he gasped in horror when he saw SpongeBob walk up with Buster and Crash. “You…” he sneered with his face scrunching in anger.

    “Hi Squidward from the future!” SpongeBob cheerfully greeted with a wave. “Long time no see.”

    “What are you doing here?” Future Squidward asked SpongeBob in a furious tone, and then pointed at the three young sponges, “What did you three do now?”

    “Don’t yell at them, Squidward.” SpongeBob intervened. “I’m glad they brought me to this wondrous future. It takes my mind off…of…” then he suddenly got a heartbroken look and started crying loudly, “WHAAAA!!! What’s he got that I don’t got?!”

    “Gee, he cries a lot.” Junior noticed until his eyes started to water. “It kinda makes me wanna cry too.”

    Future Squidward’s anger turns into a look of annoyance at hearing the past sponge cry like a baby. “Just like old times.” He muttered.

    Buster handed SpongeBob a tissue to blow his nose with while he calmed down. Then SpongeBob asked, “Squidward…is the Mr. Krabs of the Future around? Maybe he can give some advice on how to handle my situation.”

    “Unfortunately, you’re a little late.” Future Squidward answered. “Mr. Krabs is no longer here.”

    “‘No longer here’?” SpongeBob asked as he covered his mouth in shock.

    But Squidward proceeded to explain, “Of course not, he’s retired. So unfortunately, we have a new manager in charge here.”

    “We do?” SpongeBob asked with an excited smile, believing that if the Krusty Krab was as fully functional as it is now, the new manager must be as great as Mr. Krabs. “Where is he? Can I meet him?”

    “He’s not here right now. He never even showed up for work today.” Future Squidward answered until he smiled with an idea forming in his mind. “But…he specifically told me to keep anyone from the past out.”

    “Really?” a disappointed SpongeBob asked, obviously buying the lie, “I don’t think I like that rule the new manager made up.”

    Future Squidward shrugged with a fake smile. “Well, who am I to argue? I’ve never even liked that manager for years myself.”

    SpongeBob sadly sighed as he continued to believe Future Squidward’s story. “Well, if those are his rules.”

    “And like he said, rules are meant to be followed…”

     

    SpongeBob, Buster, Crash, and Junior are suddenly kicked out of the restaurant and flung across the street.

    “That wasn’t very nice.” Crash groaned as he got up. “If only our pa were here. He always lets us in.”

    When the other three sponges got up, SpongeBob assured, “Don’t worry, kids. There’s still other places in Future Bikini Bottom to see, is there?”

    Buster then whispered something into Crash’s ear, and Crash suggested, “We can all go over to our house now!”

    “Hooray!” Junior cheered as he jumped in the air. “You’ll love our house!” then he started pulling on SpongeBob’s arm. “Come on! Come on!”

    SpongeBob giggled and responded, “Okay, I wouldn’t mind seeing where you live.”

    “Well, come on already!” Junior shouted as he pulled SpongeBob away.

    “Don’t y’all leave without me!” Crash shouted as he ran off to follow them along with Buster.

    While the four sponges ran down the street, they were unaware that there was a small strange camera with mechanical spider legs that was walking alongside the Krusty Krab wall and was spying on them.

    The image was being broadcast to a mysterious place and where someone was sitting in a futuristic chair as he tapped his black gloved hand on the arm rest. He saw the image of SpongeBob, Buster, Crash, and Junior.

    “Well, well, well,” a cold voice stated, “Looks like he’s back for another visit.”

     

    Meanwhile, back in the present day Bikini Bottom, Sandy was in her treedome with Rocky as they stared at the time machine that was turned on.

    “Hmm…I wonder how my time machine got started up.” Sandy wondered as she rubbed her chin.

    “This is quite a mystery.” Rocky also said as he stared at the time machine also, “And an amazing discovery that you were able to build a working time machine.”

    Then Sandy’s eyes widen as she looks down to notice that she stepped in a small puddle of water. “Huh?” she wondered as scooped it up with her paw and took a sniff of it. “Salt water. It could only mean one thing.”

    “What would that be?” Rocky asked curiously.

    “It has to be SpongeBob. He’s the only one who knows about my time machine.” Sandy answered until she grits her teeth in anger. “First he makes a fool of himself in public, and then he sneaks into my treedome and runs away into the future.”

    “That sponge is definitely one troublemaker like you said.” Rocky agreed. “But there is only one thing to do.”

    “What might that be?”

    Rocky pulled Sandy close and answered, “We have to go through that time machine and get him back.”

    “’We’?” Sandy questioned. “You mean us go into the future after SpongeBob.”

    “That’s right. He could be in huge trouble where ever he is, and it is up to us two strong squirrels to bring him home.”

    After taking it into consideration, Sandy stepped back and got a look of determination, “You’re absolutely right, Rocky! We have to get SpongeBob back before he does anything troublesome!”

    “Right!” Rocky smiled as he turned to the time machine. “Let’s go!”

    “Wait a minute, partner.” Sandy signaled him to stop. “We’ll be goin’ alright, but I think it’d be best if we got some other help as well.”

    Rocky stopped as he got a surprised look by her suggestion. “Other help?”

    “Of course.” Sandy nodded as she walked away. “I know the perfect team I can call for assistance.”

    When Sandy left to call her friends for help, Rocky secretly frowned in annoyance since he was secretly hoping for a mission where he and Sandy could be alone in rescuing her friend. But not wanting to disappoint Sandy, he decided to go along with it.

  15. I thought this was a really cute episode. Gary and Spot make a pretty good duo with all the fun things they do just to hang out. Sandy narrating their actions kinda gave it a nature documentary vibe to it. The stuff with the animal control officer was okay, but kinda too random to me. Also I could've sworn I saw Puffy Fluffy in there, but I could've been imagining it.

  16. I thought this was a pretty good episode. It definitely didn't go the way I expected. I enjoyed Gary beating the other animals and their owners in the park. I had thought that SpongeBob would feel jealous of the fact that Gary is more limber now that he can move, but didn't expect SpongeBob to get so sluggish that he turns into a snail and his and Gary's roles would be reversed. I thought seeing Gary work at the Krusty Krab was funny and the random appearance of Patrick at the end was really funny too.
