Krusty Kradle

[Doogle.]

Many years have passed in Bikini Bottom, and things have changed for everyone. SpongeBob is no longer as fun as he once was, after his best friend Patrick moved away. He made other friends, and still played with the others, but nothing felt the same. Squidward only grew grumpier with age too; in fact even the slightest little noise made him very annoyed. Mr. Krabs unfortunately passed away not long after his daughter Pearl gave birth to her beautiful daughter Kay Krabs, and SandyÔÇÖs time as a scientist was finally up as she packed her bags and left home for Texas. Even Plankton gave up when Mr. Krabs passed away, and he decided to pursue a career in art, much to SquidwardÔÇÖs dismay.

The Krusty Krab however stayed the same for all of the years, despite it going bankrupt. So when busy Pearl, a single mother barely earning enough to look after her little one, needs someone to look after Kay, SpongeBob is more than happy to help. He turns the ancient Krusty Krab into the Krusty Kradle, a local playschool for babies and toddlers, thinking itÔÇÖll be an easy job. However are SpongeBob and Squidward really experienced enough to run an entire business?

The first season will have 6 episodes. If people like it, it will get a second season.

First episode will be posted sometime tomorrow.

Hmm....the summary leaves a lot to wonder about. Can't wait to read more!

[Wumbo]

Sounds like an awesome spin-off, but I'm experiencing deja vu here. Did you post this somewhere else?

I posted the summary in the Spin-Off News and Announcements thread a few months ago.

Oh.

[Clappy]

I agree about the summary being mysterious and I have been waiting for you to make a new spin-off for about two and a half years

Anyway, I am kinda excited and can't wait to see what you have in store for us

[CartoonCF]

Sounds interesting. Can't wait to read it.

Meh.

S1.E1-The Grand Opening

The episode begins with the outside of SquidwardÔÇÖs Easter island head house, and a loud alarm going off. Squidward quickly throws the alarm clock at the window, and the camera zooms in to the inside of SquidwardÔÇÖs house. He walks over to a picture of Mr. Krabs, with a note next to it saying, ÔÇ£Dear Mr. Squidward, if I die, youÔÇÖd better not touch my cash register! ÔÇôMr. KrabsÔÇØ. Squidward sighs and goes into the bathroom.

Next door in the pineapple, SpongeBob wakes up to the familiar alarm that always used to wake him, and he straight away gets washed, dressed and eats breakfast. As heÔÇÖs about to leave, he goes over to a desk, with pictures of Gary and Mr. Krabs, and a plaque in between the two pictures reading, ÔÇ£You may be gone, but you will forever be in my heart.ÔÇØ SpongeBob sighs and leaves the house.

As he is walking, Squidward notices SpongeBob on the other side of the road. He quickly hides behind a large boat, not wanting to talk to the annoying little sponge so early in the morning. SpongeBob keeps walking, but passes the derelict Krusty Krab building, and heads to a nearby restaurant, named ÔÇ£The Sandwich EateryÔÇ. As he enters the modern restaurant, he puts on his apron, heads to the kitchen, and greets his boss, Mrs. Sandwich.

Elsewhere, Squidward is seen entering a large building. He asks the receptionist, a very small shark, where he needs to go for the job interview, and she leads him to a large circular room, where he waits alone in silence. Squidward sits there and a time card reading 30 minutes later appears, showing Squidward snoring in his seat. Finally, an elderly fish enters through the narrow door at the other side of the room, and begins asking Squidward some questions.

ÔÇ£What attracted you to this job then, since our competitor has a much larger building and a bigger budget,ÔÇØ the fish asks, laughing.

Squidward forces a laugh and replies, ÔÇ£Well, I donÔÇÖt really want anything too big. IÔÇÖve been stuck in a fast food restaurant for most of my life, but the manager recently passed away, and the place closed down, so I decided to go for something different.ÔÇØ

ÔÇ£Hmm, interesting,ÔÇØ he mumbles, jotting down a bunch of notes.

Back at The Sandwich Eatery, SpongeBob is busy at work when all of a sudden he gets a phone call from Pearl. In the middle of making a sandwich, SpongeBob accepts the call, but puts it on speakerphone.

ÔÇ£Hey Pearl, how are you doing? Sorry to sound rude, but IÔÇÖm in the middle of making a bunch of sandwiches. ThereÔÇÖs an entire birthday party with at least 50 hungry kids out there!ÔÇØ

Hi SpongeBob. Listen, Im really sorry about this, but Ive got no one else to go to, and the rest of my friends are out with their boyfriends

ÔÇ£You want me to look after Kay again, donÔÇÖt you?ÔÇØ

Ç£Uh..yeah. Sorry, SpongeBob. SheÔÇÖs being a nightmare again. All she does is cry! I never realised how difficult being a mother would be, especially when Kay hasnÔÇÖt got her father around to help out! I have so much work to be getting on with, and Kay is going to get me fired at this rate!ÔÇØ

SpongeBob finishes the last couple of sandwiches, starts making some drinks, and tells Pearl to bring Kay round to the restaurant. Kay is a small baby whale that looks a lot like Pearl. Pearl drops her off in the kitchen of the restaurant and leaves, without another word. Immediately, Kay starts to cry. SpongeBob goes over to her pram when he suddenly slips on a mustard bottle and goes flying and Kay instantly starts laughing.

SpongeBob stares at Kay, deep in thought. Kay giggles and begins to fall asleep. Suddenly, Fred, the cashier, shouts through to SpongeBob that the eels on Table 8 are waiting for their meal. SpongeBob jumps up and delivers the food to the table.

In the following scene, Squidward is walking out of the building and makes his way to The Sandwich Eatery for lunch. As he walks in, he notices SpongeBob cleaning tables. He turns to leave, but SpongeBob sees him before he can get away.

ÔÇ£Hey, Squidward!ÔÇØ he yells, startling the customers.

Squidward waves back with a fake smile, and reluctantly takes a seat at one of the 2-seater tables. He notices Kay crawling over towards SpongeBob, and he asks if Pearl needs help again. SpongeBob sighs and sits down next to Squidward. They begin talking about Mr. Krabs, and their old jobs. SpongeBob suddenly remembers something, and asks Squidward, ÔÇ£how did the job interview go?ÔÇØ. Surprised, Squidward wonders how he remembered, and then replies ÔÇ£I didnÔÇÖt get the job. IÔÇÖm not qualified enough.ÔÇØ Squidward then proceeds to cry.

SpongeBob calms Squidward down, and makes him a seanut butter and jelly sandwich. Meanwhile, Kay is causing havoc in the kitchen, knocking over all of the pots and pans, and SpongeBob grabs her and puts her in her pram. SpongeBob sits back down at the table with Squidward and they start talking again.

ÔÇ£SheÔÇÖs a bit of a handful, isnÔÇÖt she?ÔÇØ Squidward laughs.

ÔÇ£Yeah, but I donÔÇÖt mind. SheÔÇÖs really sweet. I end up doing a better job looking after her than making sandwiches though,ÔÇØ SpongeBob replies.

SquidwardÔÇÖs face lights up, and he stares at SpongeBob.

ÔÇ£You donÔÇÖt like your job, do you?ÔÇØ he asks SpongeBob.

ÔÇ£To be quite honest, no. Why?ÔÇØ

ÔÇ£Well, IÔÇÖm unemployed, you hate your job, Pearl needs people to always look after Kay, and IÔÇÖm sure thereÔÇÖs loads more critters in Bikini Bottom that need a hand with their kids. And it just so happens that the Krusty Krab is empty.ÔÇØ

SpongeBob suddenly smiles and laughs.

ÔÇ£So, you think we should turn the Krusty Krab into a daycare for little kids?ÔÇØ

ÔÇ£ThatÔÇÖs exactly what IÔÇÖm thinking.ÔÇØ

And the episode ends with SpongeBob and Squidward hard at work inside the Krusty Krab, building and decorating a beautiful nursery for baby critters. The camera zooms out of the building and we see a brand new sign, with big pink letters reading, ÔÇ£The Krusty KradleÔÇØ.
