A Fun Fund (SpongeBob SquarePants)

A Fun Fund is a fan-made SpongeBob SquarePants episode. In the episode, fed up of Mr. Krabs being a cheapskate, SpongeBob and Squidward create a charity just so they can earn money.

Plot
The episode begins at the Krusty Krab at night, where SpongeBob is cooking Krabby Patties, Squidward is tired and Mr Krabs is counting his money. It is time to go and Squidward eagerly walks to the door before Mr Krabs stops him and gives him his and SpongeBobs paycheck. They both receive an extremely low pay of $8. This is an all time low, and even SpongeBob is angry by it. Squidwards tries to talk some sense into Mr. Krabs, however, Cheapskate Krabs refuses to do anything about it, despite SpongeBob calling him out for it.

On the walk home, Squidward is angry with Cheapskate Krabs, wondering why he still works for him. SpongeBob, however, seems to have completely brushed it off until he sees Fred tripping on a rock and saying My Leg! When Squidward comments on this by saying that that was the seventh time he said it today, SpongeBob gets a brainwave, with Squidward way ahead of him.

The two spend all night developing a charity (which looks like a snack shack you would find at Goo Lagoon) and call it My Leg! Foundation. Once they build it, they declare it open for business. However, it proved to be extremely unsuccessful, not as much as the $8 that cheapskate gave the duo, with only $18 received, by Fred himself and a random Incidental. Squidward is heartbroken by this, but SpongeBob believes that they should work harder and more so that it could make the difference. Seeing Squidward walk away saddened, SpongeBob agrees that it seems like a waste of time to continue.

The next day at boating school, Mrs. Puff notices a depressed SpongeBob and, upon learning of Krabs poor pay and treatment, goes to Mr. Krabs to talk some sense into him, which amuses Pearl to the point where she had a bowl of popcorn. Realizing his mistake, he tries to apologize to SpongeBob and Squidward, both of whom refuse to forgive him, saying that karma got him.

That night, SpongeBob is sitting at a diner, eating a sandwich. He is still saddened. Jobless and lost at what to do next, he goes into a slump. However, upon seeing the My Leg! Foundation becoming successful run by best friend Patrick Star, he becomes determined to continue with the idea. Squidward begrudgingly agrees, but changes his tone when he sees Patrick. It is revealed that he somehow made $70,000. Squidward unfairly fires him and the two continue with their great idea, with only SpongeBob acknowledging the fact that Patrick helped boost the popularity of idea.

Meanwhile, Krabs, struggling at the Krusty Krab, hires Pearl to work the grill (apparently to give credit for her college application later on in life) and Fred to work as the cashier. This fails as Fred leaves, not before tripping and saying My Leg! and Pearl calling the job trashy. Having given up, Krabs considers shutting the Krusty Krab down.

By the end of the next day, over $200,000 were earned. Krabs deposits $5 and tries to let his employees accept his apologies for being such a cheapskate. They refuse initially, but SpongeBob becomes more and more upset over the condition the Krusty Krab is. They reluctantly agree, but not before giving $50,000 to Fred. He then trips and, you guessed it, says My Leg!

The two accept their jobs after Mr. Krabs says that he will try to treat his employees better and gives them a pay of $100. Squidward, while still somewhat annoyed by the low pay, admits that he has had worse. When Patrick comes in, Squidward, under peer pressure from SpongeBob, apologizes to him and admits that the My Leg! Foundation would not have been popular without his help. However he still says they are annoying neighbours, but they are indeed true friends and he could not have asked for any better ones.

The My Leg! Foundation turned into an actual charity organization, unbeknownst to the sponge and squid duo, to help those who have My Legged! However, they admit that, with all the money they received from that initial idea, they are quite happy the way they are (plus, they get paid a heck of a lot of money!)

Idea
Oddly enough, this epsiode idea came from a dream I had.
