(Yeah, I know this is basically Sponge out of Water & Friendship Games combined, which means most dialogue is retained, but there is new dialogue which includes interactions of characters from both movies interact.)
Final Trailer[]
This trailer was released a day after the movie released in America.

[The scene transitions to scenes from the movie focusing on the Mane 6.]
Announcer: Sometimes, you'll need more friendship than you expect. And some of these friends... [cut to the camera passing by a sea of water] can come from the most unlikely of places. The only clue we have to this new ally... [cut to some submarines underwater] is this sound.
[The camera cuts to an audio recorder, which transitions to SpongeBob laughing in Mr. Krabs office as a blaring alarm is heard.]
Alarm: ALERT. ALERT. COVER BLOWN. COVER BLOWN.
Mr. Krabs: Quick, boy! Bar the door!
SpongeBob: [barricades the door with a chair] Got it!
[He gets stomped on by Plankton's robot.]
Mr. Krabs: Me formuler!
[Cuts to the Krusty Krab undergoing lockdown.]
Squidward: Huh? [gets trapped in steel] OW!
[Cut to the Equestrian portal's magic disappearing.]
Sunset Shimmer: Where's the portal!?
EPIC
ADVENTURE
Patrick: [scene cuts to him incorrectly holding the binoculars] I think we have a few minutes before he gets here. [SpongeBob flips his binoculars] HE'S RIGHT ON TOP OF US!
[Cut to CHS, where the weather is dark & cloudy.]
Rarity: WHAT DO WE DO NOW!?
[Cut to SpongeBob & Plankton floating in a bubble around Bikini Bottom, with an apocalyptic looking skyline.]
SpongeBob: Now we work together. You know, teamwork!
Plankton: What's, uh, [air quotes] te-amwork?
SpongeBob: No, Plankton, teamwork. Say "team".
Plankton: Team.
SpongeBob: Now say "work".
Plankton: Work.
SpongeBob: Put 'em together, what do you got?
Plankton: Time bomb... work.
Announcer: Friendship Games... out of Water. [the camera pans to SpongeBob on top of a text that says...] In 3D.
Mr. Krabs: [scene cuts to him negotiating with his customers] I'm not your enemy! PLANKTON is your enemy!
Squidward: So is he an anemone or Plankton?
Mrs. Puff: [plays rimshot] Well, someone had to do it.

Movie[]
[Once the opening logos done rolling, the scene cuts to Canterlot High.]
Sunset Shimmer: [runs to Rainbow Dash's direction] I got your text, Rainbow Dash! Did something come through the portal? Is Equestrian magic on the loose? Did Twilight come back with a problem that only we can solve?!
Pinkie Pie: Has a giant cake monster covered all the cakes in the world in cake?!
Rainbow Dash: Um, not exactly.
Sunset Shimmer: Uh, I don't understand.
Applejack: Well, Sunset, I was just tellin' Rainbow Dash here that a broken guitar string doesn't really qualify as an emergency.
Rainbow Dash: It totally does!
Rarity: Really, Rainbow Dash! I was in the middle of sewing a very complex appliqué on my latest frock.
Fluttershy: And I was just about to tuck everyone in for the night at the shelter. Now we'll have to start stories all over again.
Sunset Shimmer: Why would you send all of us an emergency text for a guitar string?
Rainbow Dash: Well, I was going to pony up & show our fans some awesome guitar licks, but I kinda need all 6 strings to do it. Got any extra?
[Everyone except Rainbow Dash groans.]
Sunset Shimmer: Here. But everyone finished practicing for the day. I'm pretty sure all the music rooms are locked.
Rainbow Dash: No problem. The acoustics in the hallway are perfect for power chords. [plays chord] C'mon! Let's go!
Applejack: You comin', Sunset?
Sunset Shimmer: I'll catch up in a bit. [voiceover as she writes a letter] Dear Princess Twilight, how's life treating you in Equestria? Any cool new magic spells? It's been pretty quiet here at CHS since the Battle of the Bands. We still pony up when we play music, which Rainbow Dash just loves to show off. But I still can't quite grasp what it's all about. I would love to hear what you think about it when you get a sec. Your friend, Sunset Shimmer. [a bus pulls up & drives away as a figure steps out & scans the CHS statue] Hey! What are you doing?! Wait! Stop! [the figure successfully runs away & escapes in a bus] Who was that? [inside, the stranger takes off her hoodie & sighs, revealing Twilight's human counterpart, who enters a room & works on a strange device, as the scene cuts to the opening credits rolling, & after that, the scene cuts to the CHS library] She was definitely doing something to the statue – or was going to.
Fluttershy: Do you think she came through the portal from Equestria?
Sunset Shimmer: No, I'm pretty sure I woulda noticed that. I think she was from over here.
Applejack: Well, that's a relief. The last thing we need is another magical so-&-so bent on world domination comin' over from Equestria.
Rarity: Agreed. I have no interest in another fight against the powers of evil magic. The wear & tear on my wardrobe is just too much to keep up with.
Sunset Shimmer: Still, a mysterious figure snooping around the portal? Don't you wanna know what she was up to?
Fluttershy: [shudders] I don't even wanna guess.
Rainbow Dash: Well, you don't have to. Because I've totally figured out who it was!
Pinkie Pie: Ooh, ooh! A nighttime statue cleaner? A magical portal maintenance maintainer? A gardener?!
Rainbow Dash: Seeing as how they got off a bus from the city & got back on a bus headed to the city, I'll bet they go to...
All but Sunset Shimmer: Crystal Prep.
Rainbow Dash: Yep. With the Friendship Games starting tomorrow, they'd totally try to prank us by defacing the Wondercolts statue.
Sunset Shimmer: Why would anyone take a bus all the way from the city for that?
Applejack: Because the Crystal Prep Shadowbolts are our biggest rivals?
Rarity: Because that's just what the students at Crystal Prep would do?
Rainbow Dash: Because even though they beat us in everything – soccer, tennis, golf – they still have to gloat!
Sunset Shimmer: Seems kinda silly to me.
All but Sunset Shimmer: Silly?!
Rainbow Dash: So I guess you think the Friendship Games are silly, too.
Sunset Shimmer: Well, it's not like we'll be fighting the powers of evil magic.
Fluttershy: No. We'll be fighting against a school full of meanies. Not everything has to be magical to be important.
Sunset Shimmer: You're right, I'm sorry. I know it's a big deal.
Rarity: [scoffs] That's putting it mildly, darling. They're still revamping the playing field in preparation.
Sunset Shimmer: I just don't understand why there's this big rivalry. Aren't the "Friendship Games" supposed to be about our 2 schools getting along?
Applejack: Well, it's kinda hard to get along with someone who beats you at everything.
Rainbow Dash: Not anymore! This time, things are gonna be different.
Sunset Shimmer: What do you mean?
Rainbow Dash: Oh, you'll find out.
[They leave as the camera pans to a book, which transitions into a similarly-colored one with a tied paper roll in a bottle with the opening covered in a cork imprinted. The book opens as a new voice narrates.]
Burger Beard: Once upon a time, under the sea, there was a little town called "Bikini Bottom". In this town, there was a place called, "The Krusty Krab," where folks would come to eat a thing called, the "Krabby Patty." Every greasy spoon has a fry cook, & the one who worked here was named, "SpongeBob SquarePants". [cut to Burger Beard as he is flocked by seagulls who sing a song about SpongeBob] Hold it. Just hold it. STOP! [the seagulls stop singing & playing] There's only one thing worse than talking birds, & that would be... singing birds!
Seagull: Okay, I promise not to ♪ sing! ♪
[Kyle clears his throat & points to 3 skeleton parrots with a bass, guitar, & trumpet, respectively.]
Skeleton Parrot #1: Take it from us.
Skeleton Parrot #2: He really does hate singing birds.
[The seagull poops himself at the sight.]
Kyle: Just keep weading, pwease, Mr. Piwate, sir.
Burger Beard: Come closer, let me tell you the tale.
David: Okay, start reading. [they get too close]
Burger Beard: Not that close! [the seagulls back away a bit] All right, here we go. Now, SpongeBob loved his job as a fry cook more than anything. And that is saying a lot, because he loved everything! He loved his pet snail, Gary. He loved his best friend, Patrick. He loved blowing bubbles, & jellyfishing!
SpongeBob: Whee!
Burger Beard: He loved making Krabby Patties for the folks in Bikini Bottom just as much as they loved eating them. "Why?", you may ask, "do they love this greasy meal sandwich so much? Why did they eat them for breakfast, lunch, & dinner despite the doctor's warnings?"
Dr. Gill Gilliam: [to Shubie] He'll be gone in a week.
Shubie: Oh, Harold! [sobs as she sadly bites into a Krabby Patty as the doctor does the same too, happily]
Burger Beard: Ah, it was a secret. No one was sure what was in those patties that made them so delicious. And frankly, no one cared, except for Plankton.
Plankton: Meh.
Burger Beard: Plankton owned a restaurant right across the street from the Krusty Krab, where no one ate because the food was really bad!
Plankton: Now, is that really necessary?! [the patty beside him deflates a little]
Burger Beard: Plankton had made it his life's work to steal the recipe. [SpongeBob vacuums Plankton up with his reef blower]
Plankton: SpongeBob, please! Let's talk about this! [once he's fully vacuumed, SpongeBob blows the vacuum thereafter]
Burger Beard: But SpongeBob was always there to protect it. But today, things would be different.
[Scene cuts to SpongeBob in his house as he & all the Bikini Bottomites start singing "Thank Gosh it's Monday", & after that, he is seen throwing out the trash at the Krusty Krab when Patrick comes up to him.]
Patrick: Good morning, SpongeBob.
SpongeBob: Morning, Patrick! Are you here for your pre-lunch Krabby Patty?
Patrick: I'm getting 2 today. 1 for me, & 1 for my friend.
SpongeBob: Oh, have I met this friend?
Patrick: [uses his belly as a talking friend] You know me, SpongeBob. [he & SpongeBob laugh, as well as his tummy]
SpongeBob: Enjoy, Patrick's tummy. [as he waves goodbye, he hears the engine of Plankton's airplane, which then drops a big jar of tartar sauce close to the Krusty Krab]
Mr. Krabs: [counting his money] 13, 14, 15...
SpongeBob: Hey, Mr. Krabs, I thought we got our tartar sauce delivery on Thursday.
Mr. Krabs: Tartar... [the tartar sauce splashes everywhere on the Krusty Krab, including SpongeBob & Mr. Krabs] ...sauce?
Plankton: Bullseye! [laughs evilly]
SpongeBob: Plankton!
Mr. Krabs: So it's a food fight he wants, eh?
Plankton: [as he approaches the Krusty Krab] Welcome to Air Plankton! Please put your seat backs & tray tables up as we're now approaching our final destination.
[The Krusty Krab roof spins, revealing a fire weapon & an army-clad SpongeBob & Patrick.]
SpongeBob: Okay, Patrick, load the potatoes!
Patrick: Mashed or scalloped, sir?
SpongeBob: No, Patrick. Raw.
Patrick: Sir, yes, sir! [dumps raw potatoes from a bag into the weapon] Locked & loaded!
Mr. Krabs: [looks at the formula stashed in his safe] Don't worry, little formula. You'll be safe in this... eh, safe. [closes the safe door & yells through a microphone] Fire!
[SpongeBob fires the potatoes towards Plankton's plane.]
Plankton: Potatoes?! [dodges the potatoes side-to-side]
SpongeBob: He's closing in!
Patrick: [incorrectly holding the binoculars] I think we have a few minutes before he gets here. [SpongeBob flips his binoculars, causing Patrick to scream] HE'S RIGHT ON TOP OF US!
[Plankton's plane blades cut some potatoes into fries as they all rain down.]
Sandals: Hey, it's raining fries!
Plankton: It's gonna take a lot more than potatoes to bring this baby down! [more potatoes damage Plankton's plane wings before the whole thing is destroyed] Or maybe not.
[Customers inside the Krusty Krab look at the sight of Plankton's plane crashing down, cheering, then it changes to SpongeBob & Patrick cheering as well.]
Patrick: Whoo!
SpongeBob: [notices something falling from above] Wait a minute, Patrick. [points] Look! He's got a tank!
[As the tank lands from a parachute, Plankton puts a pickle inside a shooter before heading to the controls.]
Plankton: Well, Krabs, you're certainly in a pickle now!
[The tank aims toward SpongeBob & Patrick before they gasp & in slow-motion, jump out of the way just in time & crash]
Sandals: Hey, it's raining pickles! [chuckles] Now, it's raining... [the tank lands on Sandals; muffled] ...tanks.
Plankton: You're welcome!
[The tank drives away as SpongeBob & Patrick get up.]
Patrick: Finland.
[They look up & scream as they notice more pickles coming toward them before SpongeBob dials a telephone.]
SpongeBob: Your order, sir!
Sandy: [at the drive-thru] I'll have two Krabby Patties: extra ketchup, extra mustard, and hold the mayo.
SpongeBob: Wrong channel! [dials the telephone again, redirecting to Mr. Krabs office] Your order, sir!
Mr. Krabs: Extra ketchup, extra mustard, hold the mayo!
SpongeBob: Yes, sir! [holds a big ketchup bottle gun followed by small ketchup & mustard bottles] Extra ketchup, extra mustard!
Patrick: [holds a giant mayonnaise] Hold... the... MAYOOOOOO! [grunts]
Mr. Krabs: Unleash the condiments!
SpongeBob: With relish. [screams while squirting the condiments repeatedly toward the tank before they run out, making farting noises] Excuse me! [he & Patrick laugh before SpongeBob gets another set of condiments & does the same as before, with Patrick joining in the screaming]
Sandy: [still waiting for her order] Hello? Hello?! Guess y'all don't want my money.
Mr. Krabs: Money?! [quickly snatches Sandy's money & gives her the food] Thank you. Come again. [quickly closes the window]
[SpongeBob & Plankton continue attacking each other before Patrick starts getting tired of holding the mayo jar.]
Patrick: I can't hold the mayo any longer! [throws the jar right towards the tank]
Plankton: Mayo?! Well, it's gonna take a lot more than mayo to stop- [the tank crashes into the mayo before it explodes & splashes everything, including SpongeBob & Patrick, then the ground rumbles]
SpongeBob: Now what? [the tank reassembles itself into a giant robot before Plankton laughs evilly]
Patrick: Uhh... I just remembered! I don't work for Mr. Krabs. [gives his helmet to SpongeBob, then runs off, leaving SpongeBob alone, then SpongeBob drops Patrick's helmet & runs towards the Krusty Krab]
SpongeBob: Robot! Robot! Robot! Giant robot! Robot! Robot! [runs into Mr. Krabs' office] Mr. Krabs! Plankton's here, & he's got a giant robot!
Mr. Krabs: Quick, boy! Bar the door!
SpongeBob: [barricades the door with a chair] Got it!
Plankton: [stomps on SpongeBob with his robot as the front wall of Mr. Krabs' office is destroyed] I'll take 1 secret formula... to go! [as the robot's hand comes directly toward the safe, Mr. Krabs screams before the robot stops & Plankton notices it is out of fuel] Oh, barnacles! I'm out of gas?! [SpongeBob & Mr. Krabs both laugh] Well, I'm not through yet. I've got something that will make you hand over that formula: something you can't resist. [takes out his wallet before Mr. Krabs gasps]
Mr. Krabs: Money?!
Plankton: Yes. [notices the wallet empty] That's... that's... that's impossible! [gets caught inside the wallet before coming out of it] Well, it was full of money just last week. Then I bought that airplane, & built that tank-
Mr. Krabs: Sounds to me like someone's just a wee bit broke!
Plankton: [sighs] Well, Krabs, I guess you've won. I've spent every penny I've ever made trying to put you out of business... except this one: my last penny. [starts to cry] Besides, what could I do with one measly cent, anyway?
Mr. Krabs: You could give it to me. Just a suggestion.
Plankton: Here. [throws the last penny to Mr. Krabs] Take it! [Mr. Krabs happily catches the penny & puts it in his safe] You've taken everything else. Why not?! [cries]
[Mr. Krabs & SpongeBob walk towards the exit of wrecked Krusty Krab while Mr. Krabs is holding Plankton in his claws]
Mr. Krabs: Well, Plankton, like a reheated Krabby Patty, you've been foiled again! [drops Plankton and he falls on the floor, sighing]
SpongeBob: I guess this means that the secret formula is safe forever. Right, Mr. Krabs?
Mr. Krabs: It sure does, boy. [Plankton stands up & Mr. Krabs pushs him toward the exit] Why don't you scurry along? [everyone in the Krusty Krab, expect SpongeBob laughs out loud as Plankton is leaving the Krusty Krab while crying] Thanks for coming! Have a nice day!
[The scene cuts to the Canterlot High auditorium.]
Principal Celestia: As I am sure you all know, tomorrow, Canterlot High School will be hosting our fellow students from Crystal Prep Academy as we join together in the spirit of excellence, sportsmanship, & fidelity to compete in the Friendship Games. [flat response from audience] Since the games only happen every four years, I'm sure you're all curious what goes on.
Flash Sentry: You mean other than us losing?!
Principal Celestia: And that is exactly why I've asked Rainbow Dash to come up & give you all a little, um... context.
Rainbow Dash: Thank you, Principal Celestia. [turns to the audience] I know a lot of you might think there's no way we can beat a fancy school like Crystal Prep at anything.
Pinkie Pie: Unless it's a "losing to Crystal Prep" competition! 'Cause we're really good at that!
Rainbow Dash: And I know that CHS has never won the Friendship Games even once.
Rarity: Oh, dear. I hope this speech isn't meant to be motivational.
Rainbow Dash: Crystal Prep students are super athletic, super smart, & super motivated. But there's one thing they aren't. They aren't Wondercolts! [sings "CHS Rally" & the students cheer as it finishes]
Fluttershy: Rainbow Dash, that was amazing! Even I feel like we can win!
Rarity: I feel like my school pride is at an all-time high!
Applejack: Is anybody else wonderin' how Dash ponied up without playin' her guitar?
Rainbow Dash: I know, right? It's probably because I'm so awesome!
Sunset Shimmer: Maybe. I mean, you are awesome, but there's gotta be more to it than that, right? It just seems so random.
Vice Principal Luna: Well, it would be nice if you girls could get a handle on it. We'd like to keep magic as far away from the Friendship Games as possible. We don't want to be accused of cheating.
Rarity: We don't need magic to defeat those hoity-toity Crystal Preppers.
[Everyone else agrees as Rarity slightly giggles.]
Vice Principal Luna: Still, the Friendship Games are serious business. We don't want any surprises. Especially the kind that could cause us to forfeit. Sunset Shimmer, you came here from a world of magic. Perhaps you can get to the bottom of our magical development.
Sunset Shimmer: I'll do my best.
Rainbow Dash: Okay. Anybody have any guesses what the events are gonna be?
Pinkie Pie: Pie eating? Cake eating? [gasps] Pie-cake eating?!
Applejack: They won't even let us see what they're doin' to the field. You think they'd at least tell competitors what they're competing in.
Fluttershy: It could be anything.
Rarity: Anything?! How will I ever pick the right outfit?!
Sunset Shimmer: I really wanna help, but I think I better go focus on figuring out why Rainbow Dash ponied up. See ya later!
Pinkie Pie: Seems like she's got everything under control. Nothing to worry about.
Sunset Shimmer: Ugh! [sighs, followed by voiceover as she writes another letter] Hey, Twilight. Haven't heard back from you yet. I guess you must be pretty busy with your role as princess. But I could really use your advice right now. You see, I've been given the job of keeping magic under control here at CHS, even though I still haven't quite wrapped my head around it. And now after seeing Rainbow Dash pony up the way she did, it makes me think her magic might be... changing. Everyone is looking to me to figure things out & I really don't wanna let them down. But I'm not sure I have enough experience with friendship magic to solve this.
[The scene bubble-transitions to the Krusty Krab. 20 minutes later from when we last left Bikini Bottom, Plankton is still crying outside, while being observed by Mr. Krabs through his binoculars.]
Mr. Krabs: He's been out there crying for 20 minutes. Pathetic. I'm just gonna go out there & gloat a little. [leaves Krusty Krab & while Mr. Krabs' office is seemingly empty, inside of the safe, the real Plankton is exiting from the last penny with a headset on his head while laughing]
Plankton: [contacts Karen] Cyclops to Laptop. Come in, Laptop.
Karen: Laptop. You do realize that nickname is demeaning. I have twice the processing power of a laptop. [cuts back to real Plankton inside Mr. Krabs' safe, walking towards the bottle with the secret formula]
Plankton: Never mind. Maintain radio silence. [throws his headset away] He-he, finally! [notices a light] A pressure plate, eh, Krabs? Amateur hour. [opens the safe] Hmm... [sees a bottle with a pirate ship in it] Perfect. [pushes the ship out of the bottle, then writes "Eugene, Eat My Subaquatic Air Bubbles! Love Plankton" on a piece of paper puts it in the bottle & puts in a cork] Not a bad likeness. Good enough to fool that idiot Krabs. Easy, easy.
Mr. Krabs: [mockingly gloats at "Plankton" while outside] Plankton's broke! Ooh-ooh! Plankton's broke! [laughs]
SpongeBob: Look at Mr. Krabs go! I've never seen him gloat this hard before. Although I'm not afriad to admit, he is going a bit too far there.
Mr. Krabs: [chuckles] Well, Plankton, me bunions are telling me it's time to stop gloatin'. [picks the fake Plankton up] Eh? Looks like you're falling apart at the seams. [chuckles, then pulls a string to reveal the inside of the fake Plankton] Huh?
Plankton Robot: Poor me. Sob, sob.
Mr. Krabs: A robot?!
SpongeBob: [walks inside Mr. Krabs' office, then gasps] Plankton?!
Plankton: Uh-oh. [accidentally drops his decoy] That ain't good.
Computer Voice: Initiating Lockdown Sequence.
Mr. Krabs: [gasps] Me formuler! [sees the Krusty Krab going on lockdown]
Squidward: Huh? [gets trapped in steel] Ow! [everything in the Krusty Krab gets trapped in steel]
Mr. Krabs: [heads toward The Krusty Krab that is locking down] No, no, no! No, no, no! [the doors shut] No! [bangs on the door] Squidward! Open up! Squidward!
Plankton Robot: [laughs in a monotone voice] Victory dance! Booya!
SpongeBob: Give me that! [grabs the formula & pulls it towards himself as he & Plankton engage on a tug-of-war with the formula]
Plankton: Come on, SpongeBob! Join me, & we'll be rich & powerful; until I eventually betray you! Uuhhhh... Join me!
SpongeBob: No! Never! I'm on team Krabs for life!
Mr. Krabs: [opens the doors & shouts in a deep voice] Plankton!
[The 2 continue to tug for the formula, but the formula then magically vanishes.]
SpongeBob: What? Where'd it go?
Plankton: [thinking] Wait a minute... molecular deconstruction? I proved that to be a scientific impossibility 7 times!
SpongeBob: [thinking] Wait a minute... I think I forgot to empty Gary's litter box today.
Mr. Krabs: [opens the door & gasps as SpongeBob & Plankton stare a him for a couple of seconds] Where's me formuler, Plankton?!
Plankton: I-I don't know! It just disappeared!
Mr. Krabs: Why should I believe you, ya lyin' liar?!
SpongeBob: Normally, I'd agree with you, Mr. Krabs, but this time, he's telling the truth! It just vanished!
Plankton: It's true! [Mr. Krabs picks him up & tapes him to his table]
SpongeBob: Mr. Krabs, I'm telling you! He's innocent!
Plankton: W-What are you gonna do, Krabs?! Pour hot oil on me?! Or put bamboo shoots under my nails?!
Mr. Krabs: No. Knock-Knock.
Plankton: Knock-Knock jokes? I can do this all day, Krabs.
Mr. Krabs: Knock-Knock.
Plankton: Oh, boy. Who's there?
Mr. Krabs: Jimmy.
Plankton: Jimmy who?
Mr. Krabs: Jimmy back my formuler, Plankton!
Plankton: Well, that's stupid, but how is it torture?
Mr. Krabs: Hehehehe... You'll see. [puts some headphones on]
SpongeBob: Jimmy... back my formula? Hmm. Ohhhhhhhhh! I get it! [starts to laugh hysterically]
Plankton: [screams in pain, as Mr. Krabs remains oblivious to his suffering with the headphones on] Oh, make it stop, Krabs! Make it stop! [SpongeBob is still laughing, & Plankton is still screaming, then imagines millions of SpongeBobs laughing, which cuts to Squidward opening the door with angry customers behind him]
Squidward: Mr. Krabs? SpongeBob, zip it! [SpongeBob stops laughing instantly]
Plankton: Oh, thank you, Squidward.
Squidward: The customers are getting restless. They're asking for... refunds.
[The word "refunds" goes out of his mouth as it echoes & goes toward Mr. Krabs' headphones.]
Mr. Krabs: [headphones come off & spits the words] Refunds?! [heards the chanting of "Refunds!" & turns to SpongeBob] Listen up boy! Get in there and make me customers some Krabby Patties! All right, Plankton... [sees that Plankton has escaped, then SpongeBob opens up the patty vault & screams like a girl] SpongeBob! What's wrong, boy? [moves SpongeBob over to check the vault & has the same reaction, as the vault reveals that all the patties are gone] We're out of Krabby Patties?!
SpongeBob: How can we make more Krabby Patties without the secret formula?!
Mr. Krabs: You've got to have that formuler memorized by now!
SpongeBob: [puts his hat back on] But as you are aware, sir, the employee handbook clearly states and I quote, "No employee may, in part or in whole, commit the Krabby Patty Secret Formula to any recorded, written, or visual form, including memories, dreams, and/or needle point."
Mr. Krabs: [cries for a second, shakes his fist] Curse you, fine print! Well, can you at least try to remember how the formula goes?
SpongeBob: No, Mr. Krabs! If I do, I might make something displeasing to the customers! And when I do that, this establishment will certainly go down the drain, & I don't want that happening!
Mr. Krabs: [sighs] Let me see what I can do, boy-o.
[Scene cuts to show a few angry customers picking up the order boat and chanting "refunds".]
Squidward: CAN ALL OF YOU BARNACLE HEADS QUIT IT? Can you all just accept that you've missed lunch, dropped your blood sugar, turned into crankier knuckleheads, & I am on my lunch break, which means I DON'T have time for this MADNESS!!!
Mr. Krabs: [bursts out of the kitchen] Stop! [everyone stops rampaging the restaurant] I'm not your enemy! PLANKTON is your enemy!
Squidward: So is he an anemone or Plankton?
Mrs. Puff: [plays rimshot] Well, someone had to do it.
SpongeBob: But... but, Mr. Krabs?
Mr. Krabs: [while flipping the paper to show a Krabby Patty on it] He took this from you. [the customers gasp]
Fred: A Krabby Patty.
Sandals: I can almost taste it.
SpongeBob: Mr. Krabs, I'm telling you now, Plankton didn't take the secret formula!
Mr. Krabs: [while throwing the paper away] Not now, SpongeBob!
Patrick: [sits at a table, catching the paper which had a picture of a normal Krabby Patty] Hey! I ordered a double Krabby Patty.
Mr. Krabs: So, join me, & help me get the formuler back, & I'll give each and every one of ya, a free Krabby Patty! [the customers cheer] Oh, no, wait! Even better: a slight discount! Hoo! [the customers groan] That was close. [he & all the customers angrily run out of the Krusty Krab, chanting] To the Chum Bucket!
SpongeBob: But he didn't do it! Stop!
[Meanwhile, inside the Chum Bucket, Plankton explains the situation to Karen.]
Plankton: [to Karen] I had it right in my greedy little mits, and then: poof! And now it's gone. Gone forever! Oh, I was so close to gaining the people's respect/fear.
Karen: Um, Plankton?
Plankton: Oh, when will my frustration/humiliation end?
Karen: Plankton...
Plankton: Not now, Hun! I'm ranting/raving. [sighs] All right, what is it?
Karen: Well, I was trying to tell you there's an angry mob outside, but now they're inside.
Plankton: Oh... [Mr. Krabs snatches Plankton]
Karen: [while the mob angrily stares at her] I... just work here.
Mr. Krabs: [to Plankton] We'd like to have a word with you.
[The chanting mob burst through the doors of the Chum Bucket while carrying Karen. Krabs slams Plankton on the ground.]
Plankton: [chuckles nervously] You all look very hungry. Can I get anybody a Chumburger?
Mr. Krabs: Enough with that niceties, Plankton! This is the last time I'm gonna ask you. Where is me formuler?!
Plankton: [while crawling away from Mr. Krabs] I told you, Krabs! I don't have it!
Mr. Krabs: Wrong answer! [prepares to stomp on Plankton]
SpongeBob: [offscreen] Stop! All right, Mr. Krabs. Let me get in on this. [angrily walks toward Plankton]
Plankton: What's going on around here?
SpongeBob: You may want to step back a little, Mr. Krabs. This could get messy.
Mr. Krabs: Let's hope so.
SpongeBob: So, you won't talk, eh, Plankton? [gets out a bubble jar] I didn't wanna have to do this. Plankton, here comes the pain!
Mr. Krabs: Soap in the eye, eh? Diabolical.
Plankton: [while SpongeBob blows a bubble & sends Plankton in it] No, stop, don't!
Mr. Krabs: Wait, that didn't look painful.
SpongeBob: Mr. Krabs, you may not understand what I'm about to do today. [gets in the bubble] But someday, we'll look back and have a good laugh. [the bubble floats away]
Mr. Krabs: Wait a minute.
Customer: Hey, they're getting away!
SpongeBob: Sorry, Mr. Krabs!
Mr. Krabs: So, you've been runnin' a long con on me, eh? All these years, you've been working for Plankton?!
Paco: They're in cahoots!
Mr. Krabs: Yeah, I guess that's a short way of saying it. Stop that bubble! [the customers throw stuff (& people) at the bubble, but they get away nevertheless] SpongeBob! Oh, you were like an underpaid son to me. I would have expected Squidward to stab me in the back!
Squidward: Huh, what?
Mr. Krabs: But SpongeBob, me most trusted employee, working with me sworn enemy?! Do you know what this means, Mr. Squidward?
Squidward: We get the rest of the day off?
Mr. Krabs: No! This be but a harbinger of what I fear lies ahead. For you, for me, for all of Bikini Bottom! The Krabby Patty is what ties us all together! Without it, there will be a complete breakdown of social order! A war of all against all! Dark times are ahead! Dark times indeed! [falls on his face]
Squidward: Seriously? Aren't you overreacting a bit? [Bikini Bottom & its citizens shift to a post-apocalyptic wasteland à la Mad Max]
Mr. Krabs: I wish I were. Welcome to the apocalypse, Mr. Squidward. I hope you like leather. [Bikini Bottomites run away angrily]
Squidward: I prefer suede.
Burger Beard: And so, Bikini Bottom became an apocalyptic cesspool forevermore. The end! [closes the book]
Kyle: Wait a minute. That's a terrible ending!
David: Oh, this is bad. Really bad! SpongeBob's in trouble, & the story's over?!
Andy: [hits his head on a bell] Ouch, Ouch, Ouch!
Henry: There is no way that that's the end of the story.
Burger Beard: Oh, of course it is. I'll show you. Just turn around.
Henry: Oh, all right. [Burger Beard takes a feather off of the seagull & uses it to write in the book] Hey, I need that to fly, you jerk!
Burger Beard: [says it as he writes it] The end! [the false credits start to roll]
Henry: That's not the end.
[The false credits are quickly interrupted by ripping itself to the scene that shows Burger Beard & the seagull fighting against the book.]
Burger Beard: Of course, it is!
Henry: Unhand that book!
Burger Beard: You let go of that!
Henry: Let go, you numbskull! [he rips out the fake ending page, causing Burger Beard to fall]
Andy: You'd better keep reading, Mr. Pirate... [he & other seagulls aim their butts at Burger Beard] ...or else!
Henry: [while he drops the paper in the ocean] I know I shouldn't be littering, but that ending was rubbish!
[The paper falls in the ocean as the scene fades to the Crystal Prep hallways.]
Sci-Twi: Excuse me. Sorry. Pardon me. [opens the door but accidentally slams it open on Spike] Spike? Spike? [finds him the trash bin] There you are! Okay, okay! Last night's field test confirmed it, Spike. With this device, I can track & contain the bizarre energy coming from Canterlot High. I know you didn't like me going over there, but I just couldn't wait. And soon, I'll have all the time I need. All of Crystal Prep is gonna be there for the Friendship Games. I just hope all that "rivalry" nonsense doesn't get in the way of my research. If I can collect enough data on these EM frequencies, I should be able to extrapolate the waveforms to determine their origin. That would practically guarantee my entrance into the Everton Independent Study Program! Whoa!
Dean Cadance: [knocks on the door] Twilight, you know the rules against pets.
Sci-Twi: Well, Spike isn't a pet, Dean Cadance. He's the focus of my research project. Human-canine cohabitation: effects and implications.
Dean Cadance: If you say so. But Principal Cinch is highly allergic, so I suggest you put on a clean shirt.
Sci-Twi: Why?
Dean Cadance: Because she wants to see you.
Sci-Twi: Ooh! Maybe she has news about my application to Everton!
Dean Cadance: I've been meaning to talk to you about that. Are you sure that's what you really want?
Sci-Twi: Why wouldn't it be? A program that allows me to focus all my attention on my own advanced math & science projects? What a dream come true!
Dean Cadance: But there aren't any classrooms with other students. You'll be doing everything on your own.
Sci-Twi: That is why it's called an "independent study program".
Dean Cadance: I just don't want you to miss out on anything. That's all. Being around other people isn't a bad thing. Sometimes it's how you learn the most about yourself.
Sci-Twi: I guess.
Dean Cadance: Meet you in Principal Cinch's office in a few minutes? [closes door]
Sci-Twi: [to Puppy Spike] What's she so worried about? Everton is exactly what I need right now. [sighs] It's not like I have anything left to learn at Crystal Prep. ["What More is Out There?" plays as she makes her way to the office & sees...] Shining Armor? Why is my brother here?
Dean Cadance: As an alumni, Principal Cinch thought he could provide some unique perspective.
Sci-Twi: Perspective on what?
Principal Cinch: Why, the Friendship Games, of course. You competed in the games, did you not, Shining Armor?
Shining Armor: I did.
Principal Cinch: And you happen to recall who won?
Shining Armor: Ha ha, Crystal Prep did. We always win.
Principal Cinch: We always win.
Sci-Twi: Why did you ask to see me?
Principal Cinch: Twilight, I'll be honest. It doesn't matter whether or not Crystal Prep wins or loses. The important thing is we are expected to win because Crystal Prep has a reputation. And it is that reputation... my reputation that is responsible for everything we have here. For everything you've done here. And you've done quite a lot, haven't you?
Sci-Twi: I don't know. I guess.
Principal Cinch: Oh, don't be modest. You're the best student this school has ever seen. What I can't understand is why my best student wouldn't want to compete.
Sci-Twi: In the Friendship Games?
Shining Armor: Look, Twily, I know it's not really your thing, but representing the school is kind of a big deal. Plus, they could really use your help.
Principal Cinch: It seems Canterlot High is undergoing something of a renaissance. Test scores are up, grades, even athletics are on the rise. You see, they are developing somewhat of a reputation. This can not happen!
Sci-Twi: Principal Cinch, I can't possibly participate in the games. My work here is very—
Principal Cinch: Ah, yes. Your work. Cadance, could you & Shining Armor find my contact sheet for the Everton Independent Study program?
Dean Cadance: Of course.
Principal Cinch: I understand you've applied. You see, one of the advantages of having a reputation is a certain amount of influence in such things. So, let me offer you a deal. In return for contributing your agile mind to these games, I will use my influence to guarantee your application is approved. Though, I suppose I could also have it... denied. What do you think I should do?
[Meanwhile, Sci-Twi is packing up.]
Sci-Twi: Ugh! Come on, Spike! I was always gonna go to Canterlot High for the Friendship Games. The only difference now is that I have to compete. Besides, it's not like Principal Cinch gave me much of a choice. I know, Spike. I don't like it either. I probably won't be able to collect anywhere near as much data as I thought. But maybe I can still get some. Spike, I wouldn't leave without you. Just remember to be quiet. And try not to shed. [she goes outside to see Dean Cadance] Dean Cadance, I'm not really sure where to go.
Dean Cadance: One second, Twilight.
Sour Sweet: [sourly] You could try the end of the line!
Sci-Twi: What did you say?
Sour Sweet: [sweetly] Just that someone as smart as you should definitely go first.
Sci-Twi: I... I didn't mean to. I was just asking.
Dean Cadance: This is the right bus, Twilight. Go ahead.
Sci-Twi: But... I didn't mean to cut in front.
Sour Sweet: [sourly scoffs] Well, it's too late now.
[The bus door opens.]
Indigo Zap: Are we gonna win?!?!
Sci-Twi: I... I don't know.
Indigo Zap: Wrong answer!! Try again! Are we gonna win?!?!
Sci-Twi: Um... I guess? I-It's just... I mean... I heard that CHS is doing well now. With their reputation. And, I mean, it's not better than ours, of course. But we can't let them do it, you know? Win, I mean? Right?
Bus Driver: You're gonna have to take a seat!
Sci-Twi: Hi, Sugarcoat.
Sugarcoat: That was a really bad speech. You should consider not speaking in public.
[Bus engine starts.]
Sci-Twi: Well, Spike, at least I've got you with me.
[Rock music is heard playing on headphones.]
Lemon Zest: Dude, you have gotta hear this!
[The scene cuts back to the Krusty Krab, destroyed from all the ruckus. Yet, Patrick casually walks in.]
Patrick: Good morning, Squidward. I'll have the usual. [a fiery boat crashes in the Krusty Krab] With cheese.
Squidward: We're out of Krabby Patties right now!
Patrick: [as he backs away slowly] No... Krabby Patties?! NOOOOOOOO!!! [turns into a post-apocalyptic version of himself with a hammer duct taped to his head]
SpongeBob: [as he & Plankton still float in the bubble through the destroyed Bikini Bottom] Look what's become of Bikini Bottom. We've really gotta get that formula back.
Plankton: Hmm... Get the secret formula, you say? Excuse me, I...need a moment. With that formula, I could rule the world! [Plankton laughs evilly, then clears his throat]
SpongeBob: You know I can hear you, right?
Plankton: Well, what do we do now?
SpongeBob: Now we work together. You know, teamwork.
Plankton: What's a te-amwork?
SpongeBob: No, Plankton, teamwork.
Plankton: Te-amwork.
SpongeBob: Teamwork.
Plankton: Ti-am work.
SpongeBob: Teamwork.
Plankton: Ti-am work.
SpongeBob: Say "team", like a sports...
Plankton: Team.
SpongeBob: Now say "work".
Plankton: Work.
SpongeBob: Put 'em together, what do you got?
Plankton: Time bomb... work.
SpongeBob: Gettin' better.
[The scene cuts to show Sandy in her treedome about to eat a Krabby Patty while turning on the news.]
Johnny: [on TV] Now, Bikini Bottom action news!
Sandy: [gasps to see Patrick slobbering on the glass] Oh! Hey, Patrick!
[As Sandy gets closer to eating the Krabby Patty, Patrick angrily knocks on the glass & repeatedly shouts "Krabby Patty!" until she eats it & Patrick sadly walks away.]
Patrick: Come on, tummy. It's gonna be a long day.
Johnny: [on TV] We interrupt your regular program for an important news bulletin!
Perch Perkins: [cuts to him in the post-apocalyptic street of Bikini Bottom] Perch Perkins reporting live from Downtown Bikini... [ducks from a boat being thrown at a building] ...Bottom. Complete chaos here today as our town attempts to deal with a sudden & complete shortage of Krabby Patties. [the building falls down] Whoa! Events here have this reporter wondering, what is the secret ingredient in Krabby Patties, anywaaaaaaayyyy?! [runs away]
Fish: It's love! The secret ingredient is love! [swings a flail at the camera, static, Sandy's TV shuts off, Sandy gasps]
Sandy: No more Krabby Patties?! If I'd known that, I'd have chewed it slower. Huh? [sees a piece of paper falling from the surface] What the corndog is that?! [the The End page lands on her treedome as the scene cuts back to SpongeBob & Plankton floating in a bubble through the Post-apocalyptic Bikini Bottom]
SpongeBob: Come on, Plankton, it's easy, It means I help you, you help me, & when we accomplish our goal, then we do hands in the middle.
Plankton: Hands in the middle? No, no, sounds idiotic. Besides, the two of us are no match for that cranky mob. [scene cuts to show a couple fish knocking down a donut sign, then back to Plankton] We could probably use a few more... te-am-works.
SpongeBob: That's exactly what I was thinking. [prepares to pop the bubble]
Plankton: Wait, what are you doing?
[SpongeBob & Plankton fall & land between Patrick & Squidward's houses. All 3 are badly damaged. The duo come across Patrick smashing his head on his house.]
Patrick: I... need... Krabby Patties!
SpongeBob: [gets up] Patrick, what are you doing?
Patrick: I... need... Krabby Patties! [stops smashing his rock] Vandalizing stuff.
Plankton: Isn't that your house?
Patrick: Hey, what's with all the questions?! Who are you guys?!
SpongeBob: It's me, your best friend, SpongeBob.
Patrick: Oh, yeah. Well, if you're SpongeBob, then what's the secret password?
SpongeBob & Plankton: Uhh...
Patrick: Correct! It is you! SpongeBob! [dogpiles on SpongeBob, squishing Plankton] SpongeBob.
SpongeBob: Patrick!
Patrick: SpongeBob! Why aren't you at the Krusty Krab making Krabby Patties? [sits on Plankton]<be>SpongeBob: Well, I'd love to, but the formula's gone.
Patrick: Yeah, Mr. Krabs says you & Plankton took it.
SpongeBob: No, that's not what happened. It just disappeared. We're putting a team together to find it.
Patrick: A team? Oh, oh, pick me, pick me, pick me!
SpongeBob: Okay, Patrick, you're in.
Plankton: I don't know, SpongeBob. [pops to normal] What exactly does this clown bring to the te-am?
SpongeBob: He brings loyalty, Plankton, loyalty. Isn't that right, Patrick?
Patrick: Yeah, yeah, loyalty. I've got SpongeBob! He's over here! [makes a siren noise]
Mr. Krabs: Let's go get him! [he and the Bikini Bottomites run toward SpongeBob]
Plankton: Come on, SpongeBob. Let's get out of here!
SpongeBob: Patrick- [Patrick throws SpongeBob onto Plankton, sits on them, then resumes making the siren noise] Patrick, why are you doing this?!
Patrick: Because I! NEED! Krabby Patties! Hurry up! I'm hungry! Over here! [SpongeBob digs out from under Patrick's butt, grabs Plankton, then runs away from the angry mob] Guys? Am I still on the team? [to his butt] Hey, what are you looking at?
[The scene cuts to SpongeBob & Plankton running away from the angry mob, then it cuts to Sandy's treedome, then SpongeBob presses the "Air Lock" button and grabs his water helmet]
SpongeBob: Sandy! [as the water drains, he puts his water helmet on, gets out a cup and scoops up Plankton] Sandy? [pans down on her tree as Sandy jumps down] Sandy. Sandy, are you home? Gee, Plankton, I wonder where she is. What is all this stuff? [Sandy runs to the right] Sandy? [starts to touch a paper showing a drawing of a Krabby Patty]
Sandy: [jumps on SpongeBob] Don't touch that! [jumps away from SpongeBob, then reads a book. She starts mumbling.] Incoherent muttering...
SpongeBob: Sandy, are you okay?
Sandy: Okay?! [pushes a chalkboard away from the window, revealing the post apocalyptic Bikini Bottom] Have you looked outside?! Does that seem okay to you?! I'm trying to figure out what happened to society. If we don't fix it soon, there won't be anything left to fix! [runs to the right]
SpongeBob: Sandy! The lack of Krabby Patties has driven her mad.
Sandy: And I think I figured it out. Look! [clears a bunch of papers, revealing the page from Burger Beard's book, with the words "THE END!" written on it] When this came down from above, I knew it could only mean 1 thing.
SpongeBob: And that would be?
Sandy: It means it's the end! The sandwich gods are angry with us!
SpongeBob & Plankton: Sandwich gods?
Sandy: I just don't know how we're going to appease them! [SpongeBob and Plankton look at each other, then Sandy puts the papers back on the wall as SpongeBob slowly walks away to her front door]
Plankton: You got any other friends who aren't dim bulbs or nut jobs?
SpongeBob: Well, I have one friend who's loyal to the very end. [bubble transition to SpongeBob & Plankton at the former's house] Gary, I'm home. [he starts looking everywhere] Gare-Bear? Gary? Gary? [a little bit of snail slime falls on SpongeBob's face] Huh?
Plankton: Revolting!
SpongeBob: But it means Gary is close by. Gary, I'm back! Whoa. [scene cuts to Gary wearing a crown on his throne] Oh, hey, Gary. Plankton and I need you to help us find the Krabby Patty formula and fix Bikini Bottom.
Gary: Meow.
SpongeBob: What do you mean you don't have to do as I say anymore?!
Gary: Meow.
SpongeBob: What do you mean king of snails?! Gary, the, Snail! You get down here right now and join this team!
Gary: Meow.
SpongeBob: What do you mean seize them?! [the other snails pop out of their shells & roar as SpongeBob & Plankton flee]
Plankton: Why are you running?
SpongeBob: Because they're right on our tail. [sees the snails coming after them slowly] Oh, right, snails.
Plankton: Well, so much for your te-am.
SpongeBob: Putting together a team is a lot harder than I thought it would be.
Mr. Krabs: This way!
Plankton: We better get out of here until things cool off.
[The pair run off as the camera cuts to the Rainbooms preparing for the Friendship Games.]
Rainbow Dash: I hope the Friendship Games have a music competition, because we would totally rock it! [plays chord]
Sunset Shimmer: Um, we're supposed to keep magic out of the Friendship Games, remember?
[RD scoffs.]
Rarity: Easier said than done, darling. I'm sure in Equestria, magic does whatever you want. But...
Sunset Shimmer: This isn't Equestria.
Applejack: Well, when it comes to magic, I'm sure you'll figure it out.
Rarity: And while Sunset works on keeping the magic out of the games, I've been working on what to put in! [giggles]
Applejack: Rarity, what'd you go an' do?
Rarity: Well, I had a little time on my hands, & since we don't know what the Friendship Games' events are, I made a few options for uniforms!
Rainbow Dash: You really didn't have to do that.
Rarity: I know.
Applejack: No. You really didn't have to.
Rarity: I know! [giggles as Principal Celestia negotiates with Principal Cinch]
Principal Celestia: Vice Principal Luna can help your students get settled if you'd like me to show you around, Principal Cinch. There have been quite a few changes since your last visit.
Principal Cinch: Oh, yes, Principal Celestia. I'm sure that would be fascinating.
Vice Principal Luna: Oh, it's always such a pleasure to see you, Dean Cadance. Even if it means another defeat.
Dean Cadance: Thank you, Vice Principal Luna, but I hear it's not going to be so easy this time.
Indigo Zap: Comin' through!
Sci-Twi: [she & Sunny Flare thud down to the ground] Oof!
Sunny Flare: Seriously?
Sci-Twi: Oh, sorry. I didn't mean to. [groans, turns to Sour Sweet] Oh, sorry. Why don't you go ahead?
Sour Sweet: [sweetly] You are such a sweetie! [sourly & hushed] I am watching you!
Lemon Zest: [still rocking out] Ahh! Yeah!
Sugarcoat: You are kinda being a doormat right now.
Sweetie Drops, Sweet Leaves, & Mystery Mint: Hi, Twilight.
Cherry Crash: Hey, Twilight!
Scribble Dee: Hey, you. Lookin' good.
Sci-Twi: Um, hi.
Sophisticata: Hey, what's happenin'?
Blueberry Cake: Really nice to see you.
Velvet Sky: Twilight, how ya doin'?
Starlight: Twilight, yo! [clicks tongue]
Sci-Twi: Hi. Hello. Uh, good. [bumps into Flash]
Flash Sentry: Twilight? I almost didn't recognize you. When did you start wearin' glasses?
Sci-Twi: Um, like, since forever.
Flash Sentry: Oh, so how long are you here for?
Sci-Twi: Just for the Friendship Games.
Flash Sentry: Right. Of course. We'll totally win with you here.
Sci-Twi: Uh, I gotta go.
Flash Sentry: Uh, okay. Bye? Aw.
[The scene bubble-transitions to somewhere far from Bikini Bottom, as SpongeBob & Plankton witness their home deteriorate into nothing.]
SpongeBob: Everything we know & love has been destroyed.
Plankton: Well, yeah, looks like they're gonna have to change the name of Bikini Bottom to Dirty Bottom! [laughs] Right, SpongeBob?
SpongeBob: Now's not the time for jokes, Plankton.
Plankton: Yeah, yeah, too soon, huh?
SpongeBob: This feels like it really is the end.
Plankton: Don't worry, SpongeBob. We'll find the secret formula & everything will go back to the way it was. You know, all happy & junk. [pushes a rock near SpongeBob] Now let's try and get some sleep.
SpongeBob: Yeah, I guess you're right. [rests his head on the rock, Plankton pulls a coral & gives it to SpongeBob as a blanket.]
Plankton: There you are, feel comfy?
SpongeBob: You know, Plankton? I think you might know a little bit more about teamwork than you lead on.
Plankton: Good night, SpongeBob.
SpongeBob: Good night, Plankton. [falls asleep]
Plankton: [laughs evilly] Good night, indeed. [jumps on SpongeBob's head] That's right SpongeBob, sleep. You're hiding that formula in there somewhere. [jumps inside SpongeBob's head, scene cuts to inside SpongeBob's head] Huh? [jumps on his brain] Well, here goes nothing. [he digs his way into SpongeBob's brain, & emerges in a cotton candy forest] Huh? What... is this place? [Plankton runs through the forest as a waffle chases a bottle of syrup]
Ice Cream Boy: Fudge fight! [he & his partner squirt fudge at each other & laugh] It's all over me.
Plankton: Ew! It's so sweet in here. I think my eyeball is getting a toothache.
Popsicle Twins: Hello, Plankton. Come and play with us. [Plankton is shocked, eyes shrinking] Hurry. [Plankton's eyes widen] Before we melt. [Plankton sweats, as they laugh & start to melt]
[Plankton screams, runs away trying to escape, slips & falls off a cake, falls to the ground, white cotton balls emerge from the ground, Plankton screams as the cotton balls join together to form a cat.]
Giant Fluffy Cat: Meow.
Plankton: So much sweetness! I think I'm gonna be sick! [barfs up a rainbow] Huh?
Rainbow: Daddy!
[Plankton pops out of his head covered in cotton candy, SpongeBob wakes up.]
SpongeBob: Plankton? Oh, Plankton, I just had the craziest dream, and you were in it.
Plankton: I'm sure it was nothing. [throws a lollipop stuck on him] Now, go back to sleep.
SpongeBob: Were you in my brain?
Plankton: What? No! That's crazy talk!
SpongeBob: Then why is there cotton candy on your antennae?
Plankton: Because uh... because uh... okay, fine, I was in your brain.
SpongeBob: [gasps] What were you doing in there?
Plankton: What do you think I was doing? Looking for the secret formula.
SpongeBob: What?
Plankton: Don't act so innocent! You know what I was up to. That's why you're pretending not to know the formula.
SpongeBob: I'm not pretending. I can't believe you thought I was lying.
Plankton: Hey, don't take it personally, I just assume everyone is lying.
SpongeBob: That is a horrible way to live your life.
Plankton: Whatever.
SpongeBob: It is. And if we're gonna be on the same team-
Plankton: Maybe I don't wanna be on a te-am! Ya think of that!?
SpongeBob: But, Plankton, everything's better when you're part of a team. [gets out his pitch pipe & plays a tune on it]
Plankton: You're not gonna start singing, are you? [SpongeBob starts singing the Teamwork song] Oh, brother.
Plankton: [as they sing] All right, you can put me down! [SpongeBob sets him down] Well, [sigh] that's one minute of my life I'll never get back.
SpongeBob: Not without a time machine.
Plankton: Wait a minute, hold that thought. [SpongeBob grabs a thought bubble with a question mark on it.] Now back up.
SpongeBob: Enihcam emit a tuohtiw ton.
Plankton: Slow down.
SpongeBob: [slow voice] Not without a time machine.
Plankton: Hmm. Yes. SpongeBob, you're a genius!
SpongeBob: I am?
Plankton: If we build a time machine, we can go back to before the formula disappeared. Before society broke down. Before we became the hunted.
SpongeBob: That sounds great, Plankton, but how do we build a time machine?
Plankton: Well, first we'll need a computer powerful enough to calculate the intricacies of time travel.
SpongeBob: Where would we get one of those?
Plankton: Hmm. [bubble transition to SpongeBob & Plankton skulking The Chum Bucket guarded by the Bikini Bottomites] There she is, my computer wife. They've got her tied up in the back room. I've never seen this many people at The Chum Bucket.
SpongeBob: I've never seen anyone there.
Plankton: Now was that really necessary?
SpongeBob: 'Cause the food's really bad.
Plankton: Oh, come on, really?
SpongeBob: [silences Plankton] How are we gonna sneak past those guards?
Plankton: Hmmm...
Fish: [notices a tire thrown in fromt of the Chum Bucket] Well, what do we have here? [he & 2 other fish beat it with sticks, while SpongeBob comes in from behind]
SpongeBob: We better hurry. Those guys really hate tires. [he walks further to a tiny door, Plankton jumps down]
Plankton: [tries to open the door but it's locked] We'll never get in, the door's locked.
SpongeBob: [throws tire] Hmm.... wait. The window is open. Come on, Plankton, it's time for some teamwork. Give me a boost.
Plankton: [SpongeBob is about to step on Plankton] Okay. Wait a minute. No! [SpongeBob steps on him, but he manages to hold him for a while]
Plankton: Ya there? [he gets smushed]
SpongeBob: Just a little higher, Plankton. Plankton? [lifts up his foot, to see Plankton squashed on the bottom of his shoe]
Plankton: Why don't you boost me up instead?
SpongeBob: Oh, yeah, good thinking.
Plankton: [gets scraped onto the windowsill & goes down to open the door] Come on, SpongeBob, come on!
SpongeBob: [squeezes in the tiny door] We're in.
Plankton: [silences SpongeBob] There's a guard over there. Let's get the key from around his neck. We're gonna have to be very quiet. Let's walk on the tips of our toes. [SpongeBob plays a tiny piano as he tiptoes] Will you stop playing that tiny piano?! [whispering] You're gonna get us caught.
SpongeBob: Sorry.
Plankton: Now just reach over and grab it. [SpongeBob prepares to grab the key when he steps on a squeaky metal board]
Patrick: [waking up] What? Huh? Who goes there? [falls back asleep, then SpongeBob gets closer]
Plankton: Stop! Pull it over his head!
SpongeBob: Oh. [pulls the necklace up, choking Patrick]
Plankton: Stop. Stop. Stop! Let me get up there. [jumps onto Patrick's tummy, chews the rope around his neck, the key starts slide down & tries to grab the key, he lands in Patrick's belly button & starts sinking] Help me.
SpongeBob: [gasps, grabs Plankton & the key out from Patricks belly button]
Patrick: [gets up] What? Huh?! [he prepares to blow a whistle but SpongeBob jumps him]
SpongeBob: No! Plankton, help! I'll rock him, you tell him a bedtime story. [cradles Patrick]
Plankton: Uh, uh... once upon a time, there was a big, fat, pink idiot who went to sleep. The end!
Patrick: Nice try, but it's gonna take more than that to-
[Patrick falls asleep. Cut to Karen in a room, being held prisoner.]
Karen: [notices the door open] I told you, I don't have the formula, you monsters!
Plankton: Hey, baby, how are you?
Karen: Plankton! My hero! You must need something, otherwise you wouldn't have come back.
SpongeBob: Plankton has a plan to save Bikini Bottom. [frees Karen]
Karen: Doesn't matter, Plankton. Krabs knows all your plans. He's been through my hard drive looking for the secret formula.
Plankton: Eh, I never had it, but we're going to get it. We're gonna go back in time & steal the formula before it disappeared.
Karen: Time travel. Where are you gonna find a computer that can do that? Wait a minute.
SpongeBob: [holds Karen's head] I've never carried a head before.
Plankton: You'll get used to it.
SpongeBob: It's still warm. [sees a spotlight coming towards him & runs away from it]
Fish: So you won't talk, huh? Let some air out of it. [another fish does so as the scene zooms in on Taco Haüs]
SpongeBob: Is this where we're gonna build our time machine?
Plankton: Sure. It's got everything we need. A photo booth, a cuckoo clock, some day old chips. Now all we have to do is build it. [SpongeBob plays his pitch pipe again but takes it into the photo booth] Oh, no, you don't.
SpongeBob: Hey, my pitch pipe!
Plankton: Uh, I need it for the time machine.
SpongeBob: Oh, okay.
Plankton: [smashes pitch pipe & flushes it, then walks out of the photo booth] Installed! [they start building the time machine, & once they're done...] I did it!
SpongeBob: No. We did it.
Plankton: Wait. We did do it. As a te-am.
SpongeBob: A team.
Plankton: Whatever.
[They sing the last verse of the teamwork song again & we cut back to SpongeBob carrying Karen in the time machine once the song is over.]
SpongeBob: Okay, now for the brains. [pushes Karen into the opening & powers up]
Karen: Okay, Plankton, this is it. It's gonna take all my processors and energy to power this time machine. So, if you have anything you wanna tell me, you better tell me now.
Plankton: Well, Karen. I know I've taken you for granted all these years and I... I just wanted to say... I'm glad you're on my te-am.
Karen: Oh, Sheldon. That's the sweetest thing you've ever s- [Plankton shuts her off, crying]
SpongeBob: Plankton, are you crying?
Plankton: No, no, no, it's just one of the hazards of having a giant eyeball. There's always stuff getting in there. Anyway, where were we? Say "cheese."
SpongeBob: [inserts a quarter in the coin slot] Cheese!
[They travel through a time space vortex where Squeeze Me by N.E.R.D. plays & they appear in a desert part of Bikini Bottom 4 days in the future, they step out & explore after the song.]
Plankton: According to my calculations, the Krusty Krab should be right here.
SpongeBob: What's that over there?
[They notice a figure stuck in the sand.]
Future Patrick: [turns around] SpongeBob?
SpongeBob: Patrick?
Future Patrick: Is it really you?
SpongeBob: Yes, Patrick. It's-
Future Patrick: Finally! The Great Krabby Patty Famine is over!
SpongeBob: Great Krabby Patty Famine? Oh, what year is this?
Future Patrick: It's Thursday.
Plankton: According to my calculations, we've only gone 4 days into the future.
SpongeBob: Where is everybody?
Future Patrick: They all gave up on you! But not me! 'Cause I'm not very smart.
SpongeBob: Where is the Krusty Krab?
Future Patrick: Right where it's always been. [the wind blows a bunch of sand away revealing him sitting on The Krusty Krab sign]
[SpongeBob gasps, then he & Plankton run back into the time machine, they travel back through the time space vortex where they soon appear in Bubbles' Interdimensional spacecraft, SpongeBob opens the curtain & sets foot on Bubbles' Interdimensional spacecraft which lights up, the scene zooms in on Bubbles watching the void of space between Saturn & Jupiter.]
SpongeBob: I think we may be lost in time, Plankton. Maybe we should ask this guy for directions. Excuse me, sir. Can you tell us when we are?
Bubbles: Who dares disturb the one who watches?
SpongeBob: The one who watches? Your name is "The one who watches"?
Bubbles: No! My true name is "Bubbles."
Plankton: "Bubbles"? [chuckles] Wha-what kind of a name is "Bubbles"?
Bubbles: It is my ancient dolphin name.
SpongeBob: So what's a dolphin doing out here in the middle of space?
Bubbles: My kind have been watching and protecting the galaxy for- [clicks] Hmm. 10,000 years.
SpongeBob: Oh, so you're the one keeping the meteors from hitting us.
Bubbles: Yes, I am; & I could really do with a potty break, would you mind keeping an eye on things?
SpongeBob: Sure thing but uh, what am I keeping my eye on? [Bubbles swims over to the restroom, SpongeBob watches the void of space between Saturn & Jupiter]
Plankton: What are you doing?
SpongeBob: I'm watching.
Plankton: We don't even know what we're even watching for.
SpongeBob: Maybe we should split up the work load. You watch the one with the big red eye, & I'll watch the one with the ringy thingies, like a team. [they watch the planets when Plankton notices that they're getting closer to each other]
Plankton: Okay, mine's moving.
SpongeBob: Mine, too.
Plankton: No, this doesn't seem right. Should we call Bubbles?
SpongeBob: Let's give him a minute. He's been holding it for 10,000 years. [the planets smash into each other; SpongeBob gasps] I'm pretty sure that wasn't supposed to happen! [picks up several rocks] Come on, Plankton we gotta clean this up before Bubbles gets back! [sweeps the rocks under the floor, Bubbles exits the restroom with toilet paper on his fin]
Bubbles: [sigh] Much better, yes. You two are free to go. [SpongeBob ditches the broom & makes an innocent face] What happened to Saturn and to Jupiter?! You were supposed to- keep them from smashing into each other!
SpongeBob: Sorry.
Bubbles: Now- I am going to lose my job! And you... will lose your lives. [tries to destroy SpongeBob & Plankton as they make a run for their time machine]
SpongeBob: Hey, quarter me! [Bubbles' laser blasts SpongeBob into the time machine & SpongeBob grabs the quarter before getting struck by Bubbles' laser & they travel through the time space vortex again; once they are done travelling, they step out] Where are we? [as the 2 venture, they seemingly notice Patrick] Oh, look! It's Patrick! ["Patrick" turns around] Hey, Patrick! ["Patrick"'s head grows longer, revealing it is not Patrick, but...] It's a Patrickasaurus! I think we went too far back! [runs away with Plankton in hand]
Plankton: Gee, ya think so?
[They run back, but a Squidasaurus Rex stops them in their tracks. SpongeBob screams.]
SpongeBob: Squidasaurus Rex!
[They run back to the time machine.]
Plankton: Quick, you got a quarter?
SpongeBob: Yep! Just cashed my paycheck!
[The duo scream as the Squidasaurus Rex picks the time machine up with his mouth & tries eating it, but it vanishes before he could do anything. They travel in the vortex yet again, as the scene cuts back to Krabs' office 2 days in the past.]
Past SpongeBob: [walks in, gasps] Plankton?!
Past Plankton: SpongeBob!?
Past SpongeBob: [time machine appears & SpongeBob & Plankton walk out] Plankton?! [gasps]
Past Plankton: SpongeBob!?! Who are you 2 supposed to be?
Plankton: I'm you from the future.
SpongeBob: [points to his past self] And I'm him from the future!
Past Plankton: So you traveled back through time to help me? Great thinking!
SpongeBob: Nope. He's helping me.
Past SpongeBob: [gasps] But he's the enemy!
SpongeBob: Was the enemy. Now we're a team.
Past Plankton: What, a te-am?
Plankton: A team! All right, go get the formula. [SpongeBob runs over to the safe]
Past SpongeBob: What have I become?
SpongeBob: All right, Plankton. [tries to grab the secret formula from Plankton's past self]
Past SpongeBob: Do you have flying boat mobiles in the future?
Plankton: We only came back from the day after tomorrow, dimwit.
Past SpongeBob: Are there rocket packs? [briefly cut back to SpongeBob trying to reclaim the formula] Did they outlaw clothes in the future?
Plankton: No!
Past SpongeBob: Then why are you naked?
Plankton: 'Cause they don't make clothes in my size.
SpongeBob: Hold still you! [tries to grab the formula when Plankton's past self runs away]
Past SpongeBob: If you're from the future, what am I gonna say next?
Plankton: Something moronic?
Past SpongeBob: Wow!
Plankton: Hey, hurry up over there!
Past Plankton: [SpongeBob knocks the decoy formula bottle off the pressure plate and the light goes on and it beeps; screams] Uh oh, that ain't good.
Computer Voice: Initiating Lockdown Sequence.
Plankton: Come on, SpongeBob. We gotta get outta here.
SpongeBob: [he grabs the fake formula thinking it's the real one] Got it!
Plankton: Come on! [SpongeBob runs into the time machine & they return to the present as they laugh together]
SpongeBob: Oh, that was crazy.
Plankton: So that's what teamwork is. All those years, I tried to make you mine & I finally did it. I mean, we did it!
[The scene fades back to Burger Beard's book.]
Burger Beard: And so, it would seem that our heroes have accomplished all they had set out to do.
Andy: Now that's an ending.
Seagull: Woohoo!
Kyle: Andy, cue the music.
Andy: [he gets out an accordion] ♪ Ooooh... ♪
Burger Beard: Oh, no. That's not the end.
Kyle: So, you mean the ending might be even happier? [Burger Beard gets out his telescope, scene changes to his telescope view of the beach]
Male beachgoer: [from afar] Here we go!
Burger Beard: [points at the beach] Land ho!
[The scene changes to the beach.]
Beachgoer kid: Mom, where's my towel?
Beachgoer: [reaches into his cooler when he notices Burger Beard's ship] What?
[Burger Beard drives his pirate ship, now with tires on the beach while the beach goers look & gasp]
Male beachgoer: Woah! Dude, look at that!
Female beachgoer: What?
Burger Beard: I'm coming! Come on, you lazy people! Out of my way! [everyone starts running away from the ship] I'm coming! Out, out! [notices the things he destroys along the way] Sorry!
Seagull: Too fast!
Andy: Slow down!
Burger Beard: [notices he's about to crash the ship through a lifeguard tower] I'm coming! I'm coming!
Lifeguard: Move, move, move! [leaps out of his post as it is destroyed a boy runs towards the ship]
[The pirate ship lands in the streets as Burger Beard swivels the ship & parallel parks between 2 other food trucks.]
Burger Beard: Yeah! All right, you feathered rats, time to shove off!
Andy: What? Why?
Burger Beard: Well, I can't have you pooping all over my restaurant, can I?
Andy: Restaurant? I thought this was a pirate ship.
Burger Beard: Oh, it is. But it is also... [starts turning his pirate ship into...] A-ha! My very own food truck.
Seagull: A what?
Burger Beard: Uh, you know, a restaurant on wheels.
Seagull: Like a garbage truck?
Andy: Hmm.
Burger Beard: No! Are you trying to scare away my customers?!
Seagull: Well, we're not leaving until we see how the story ends.
Burger Beard: No problem. You guys like a little snack while you wait?
Seagull: Sure, I'll take a curdled milk.
Andy: How 'bout a fish head?
Seagull: And a french fry covered in sand.
Burger Beard: [removes a dish cover to reveal hot wings on a platter] Who wants some hot wings?
Andy: Wait a minute. Where's Kyle?!
Burger Beard: Which one of you is next? [the other seagulls fly away, screaming in terror]
Andy: Let's get out of here! You're crazy, man! You're crazy!
Seagull: He's a mad man! Ahh! [Burger Beard laughs]
Kyle: [inside a porta potty] Bye-bye, Mr. Poop. Now I can get my golden sticker. [walks out & shuts the door] Oh, hey, Mr. Piwate. I wouldn't go in there if I were you. [chuckles]
Burger Beard: [gets out a megaphone which blows off Kyle's feathers] Boo!
Kyle: [screams] I can't fly without my feathers. [whistles for a cab which drives up & Kyle gets in the back seat]
Cab driver: Where to, Mac?
Kyle: Just dwive.
[The cab drives away & the taxi bypasses Canterlot High, where Rarity is giving her friends outfits.]
Applejack: Uh, Rarity, these outfits are great, but why would you put so much time & effort into clothes we might not even wear? You're gonna exhaust yourself before the games even start.
Rarity: Don't be silly, darling! Putting effort into clothes is what I live for, & spending time on my friends fills me with energy!
[Everyone is amazed.]
Sunset Shimmer: And magic, too, I guess.
[Sci-Twi's device takes Rarity's magic, leaving her out of breath.]
Rarity: Actually, Applejack, now that you mention it, I suppose I could use a tiny break. [faints]
Applejack: I told you.
[Sci-Twi opens the door.]
All but Sci-Twi: Twilight?
Sci-Twi: Uh, yes?
Applejack: Well, I'll be. You shoulda told us you were comin'.
Rarity: Darling, those glasses. What are you wearing? It's so... severe.
Sci-Twi: My uniform?
Fluttershy: Your uniform for what?
Sci-Twi: For... Crystal Prep. But why does everyone at this school know who I am?
Rainbow Dash: Did you just say "Crystal Prep"?
Fluttershy & Rarity: [both hear Spike bark] Spike!
Sci-Twi: [gasps] You know my dog's name, too?
[Celestia & Cinch bypass them.]
Principal Celestia: And our music program has especially taken off. [gasps] Twilight?
Sci-Twi: This is getting ridiculous!
Principal Cinch: I must apologize for the curiosity of my prized student.
Principal Celestia: Your student?
Principal Cinch: The smart ones are always curious. I'll return her to check in with the rest of her classmates.
Principal Celestia: I didn't know Twilight had a twin sister.
Pinkie Pie: She doesn't! That Twilight is obviously the Twilight from this world since it couldn't possibly be the Twilight from the pony world since the Twilight from the pony world doesn't go to Crystal Prep or wear glasses.
Principal Celestia: Nevermind.
Sci-Twi: I'm sorry, Principal Cinch. I was just following these strange readings. Actually, they led me to those girls &—
Principal Cinch: Twilight, what you do in your free time is of little interest to me, but while you're here, I... all of Crystal Prep, in fact, require your complete focus.
Sci-Twi: But why does everyone at this school seem to know me?
Principal Cinch: Perhaps they're trying to confuse you. Perhaps they're trying to lure you away.
Sci-Twi: It didn't feel like anyone was trying to lure me.
Principal Cinch: I don't know what they're planning, but I guarantee, it isn't to help us win.
Rarity: I can't believe our world's Twilight goes to Crystal Prep!
Rainbow Dash: You're saying that Twilight's gonna play against us? She'd never do that!
Fluttershy: Our Twilight wouldn't.
Sunset Shimmer: [angrily] Our Twilight is a princess in Equestria and an expert in friendship magic! And if she was here, we'd have already figured out why magic is randomly popping up during pep rallies and costume changes. [deep breath] Sorry. I'm just frustrated that I haven't heard back from her.
Applejack: She's a princess in Equestria. Probably got problems of her own to deal with.
Rarity: We certainly can't expect her to drop everything and pop through the portal whenever. Especially if it's to deal with something as minor as a few random pony-ups.
Sunset Shimmer: But they aren't minor! Magic came into this world when I stole Twilight's crown. It's taken a lot for me to earn everyone's trust. If we have to forfeit the games because I can't think of a way to keep it under control...
Fluttershy: Oh, Sunset, I'm sure you'll be able to figure things out.
Applejack: You're the one who helped us understand what was goin' on with the sirens. Remember?
Sunset Shimmer: I guess. But Twilight was the one who really figured out what we needed to defeat them.
Rarity: But don't you remember, darling? What we needed to defeat them was you.
Sunset Shimmer: [sighs] All right.
Rainbow Dash: [cheers with everyone else] Come on, guys! Let's see if we can find any info about the events & come up with a strategy. You comin', Sunset?
Sunset Shimmer: I'll... catch up with you guys in a bit. [goes outside] Still no reply. [sees Sci-Twi check on the statue] Maybe there's another way I could reach her. [her magic sticks to where the portal is] Hey, let go! [Sci-Twi & Sunset struggle as the portal's magic is captured] What did you do?!
Dean Cadance: Twilight, you have to check in with the others.
Sunset Shimmer: [notices something strange at the back of the statue] Where's the portal? [grunts] Where's the portal?!
[Bubble-transition back at the Krusty Krab.]
Patrick: [turns to Squidward in a begging tone] Uh... Squidward?
Squidward: Still out of Krabby Patties.
Patrick: [licks the picture than holds it up asking...] Does anyone have a picture of ketchup?
Sandy: [walks in] I done figured it out! [everyone gasps as Sandy jumps on a table] We have angered the sandwich gods & only a sacrifice will appease them!
Big Fish: Oh, that sounds reasonable.
Sandy: Soon, our post-apoca-whatchamacallit will be over & Krabby Patties will rain down from above!
Mr. Krabs: Rain down? Well that's no good! How will I get me money?!
Nat: Oh, you don't like that idea? Then we'll sacrifice you!
[The crowd carries Mr. Krabs & Squidward outside chanting "sacrifice," when SpongeBob & Plankton's time machine appears at the entrance as SpongeBob opens the curtain.]
SpongeBob: It's not a good idea to have a sacrifice on an empty stomach. [holds out the bottle] Who wants a Krabby Patty? [the crowd cheers]
Mr. Krabs: SpongeBob, is that me formuler? Oh, happy day! I've missed you so much. Where was it? Where'd you find it?
SpongeBob: Well, Plankton & I built a time machine out of an old photo booth & then we added- [notices Patrick get in]
Patrick: Cheese!
SpongeBob: Patrick, wait! [Patrick disappears in the time machine.]
Mr. Krabs: It's okay, everyone. The post-apocalypse is almost over! [the crowd cheers & Mr. Krabs opens the bottle and gets the formula out of it] Ain't that right SpongeBob? [reads the letter] "Eugene, Eat My Sub-aquatic Air Bubbles! Love, Plankton"?! [the note shows Mr. Krabs saying: "I'm stoopid!" & glances at SpongeBob]
Plankton: You grabbed the wrong bottle!
SpongeBob: I'm sorry, Mr. Krabs.
Mr. Krabs: That's okay, SpongeBob. We'll just have to sacrifice the 2 of you then! Prepare them for the sacrifice!
Patrick: [he reappears in the time machine and walks out] I bring a message from the dawn of time!
SpongeBob: What is it, Patrick?
Patrick: Run! [he runs & a Squidasaurus Rex steps out & destroys the time machine, roaring]
Squidward: Squidasaurus Rex!
[The Squidasaurus Rex wreaks havoc in The Krusty Krab & everyone inside runs away from it.]
SpongeBob: Well, Plankton, I guess we failed to accomplish our goals.
Plankton: We?
SpongeBob: But, even failure hurts a little less when you do it as a team, right?
Plankton: This is all your fault! [everyone pauses & the crowd gasps]
SpongeBob: My fault?!
Plankton: You're the one who stole the wrong secret formula!
SpongeBob: I didn't know there were two bottles.
Plankton: Of course you didn't! 'Cause you got cotton candy for brains! No, seriously, he really does.
SpongeBob: Well, we wouldn't even be in this mess in the first place if you weren't so selfish & evil!
Plankton: I was selfish & evil until you ruined everything with your teamwork!
SpongeBob: [he gasps] You take that back!
Plankton: You are the worst teammate ever!
SpongeBob: [begins screaming] No! [goes mad as Plankton gasps]
Shubie: Oh, my Neptune, he's mixing garbage & recycling!
SpongeBob: [grabs 2 handfuls of goo from the mess he made, then holds over his head, screaming loudly, as the crowd gasps; & he later regains composure] Look at me. Why, I've become like all of you. Savage. Fear-ridden. Selfish. An entire town of formerly good citizens, turned into heartless freaks, bent on their own self-prever...self-preter...
Mob Member: Preservation?
SpongeBob: Yes! We've become alienated from each other. Each one an island unto himself, concerned only with ourselves. And in the name of all fishhood, I am not about to let that happen! [tears a piece of cloth from a fish's shirt, & makes a headband from it] And so, if a sacrifice is needed to restore Bikini Bottom to its former glory, then I am willing to take 1 for the team!
Squidward: You heard him!
[The crowd carries SpongeBob outside where he is shackled on top of a tower & a giant stone is hanging over him as the crowd chants "sacrifice".]
Mr. Krabs: Let the sacrifice begin!
Squidasaurus Rex: [as the crowd chants "patties"] And I thought my friends were primitive.
Mr. Krabs: [as SpongeBob sniffs around] Don't cry, me boy. Everything's gonna be fine. For us.
SpongeBob: Oh, I'm not crying, Mr. Krabs. I smell Krabby Patties!
Mr. Krabs: That's right. Keep thinking happy thoughts. Now! [Squidward puts on an executioner mask & slices the rope dropping the stone on SpongeBob but Mr. Krabs lifts it up & sniffs] The boy's right. [throws the stone]
Fred: My leg!
Mr. Krabs: I smell 'em, too. Okay SpongeBob, go get it! [tears off his apocalyptic outfit]
Squidward: Wait. You mean we can just take this stuff off? [tears off his executioner outfit]
Mr. Krabs: Go find that Krabby Patty! [throws SpongeBob]<nt>SpongeBob: Come on, everybody! I've got some Krabby Patty orders to fill! [everyone tears off their apocalyptic outfits & follows SpongeBob up a hill] It's coming from over there! [everyone follows him through a ship wreck, then through a winter forest, then they're upside down & a customer falls, then they end up on the moon, then riding on an eagle & they're walking up a mountain] Come on, guys! I think it's just over this hill! [he looks up to see the scent vapor continues on the surface & everybody groans]
Squidward: How do you expect us to go up to the surface?! We won't be able to breathe!
Customer: All right. All secondary characters, come with me. [everybody except SpongeBob, Gary, Patrick, Mr. Krabs, & Sandy return to Bikini Bottom]
Squidward: Yeah, I'm with you guys.
Mr. Krabs: No way, Squidward. You're going up there with us.
Patrick: My feet hurt.
SpongeBob: Patrick, you don't have feet.
Patrick: [screams] Well, it's not fair. You have feet. Sandy has feet. Squidward has feet.
Squidward: Actually, I have 4 feet. [Patrick grunts & sits on the floor with his arms crossed & Plankton comes up hiding behind a rock]
Mr. Krabs Think about this, Patrick, I don't have feet, & neither does Gary!
SpongeBob: It's not about feet. [Plankton rolls near SpongeBob's feet]
Squidward: What is it about then?
SpongeBob: It's about being a team & sticking together no matter what. [Plankton jumps into SpongeBob's sock]
Squidward: The only way we're going up there is if some fairy godmother shows up & helps us breathe air. [everyone notices a light coming towards them & Bubbles shows up]
SpongeBob: Bubbles!
Squidward: SpongeBob, you know this guy?
SpongeBob: Don't hurt us! We're sorry we got you fired!
Bubbles: Hurt you? Why, I traveled back through time to thank you. I've been stuck in that job for eons. I needed a change, but I was too afraid to go for it.
SpongeBob: Well, Bubbles, I'm glad we could help.
Bubbles: Now, it is my turn to help. I can get you safely to the surface. Now, quick, all of you. Get in my mouth.
SpongeBob: Come on, guys. Let's go.
Squidward: There's no way I'm climbing into some dolphin's mouth.
Mr. Krabs: Yeah, this guy just wants a free lunch.
SpongeBob: Guys, if Bubbles has the courage to quit his dead end nowhere job & travel back through time to help us, then we need to have the courage to- [Bubbles captures everyone in his mouth & swims around]
Mr. Krabs: Well, I never thought I'd be eaten by a dolphin.
SpongeBob: No, if he was eating us, he'd be chewing us up & we'd be going down there. This is what you call "riding in style."
Squidward: [sigh] Not a lot of leg room in here.
Patrick: Well, maybe if you didn't have four feet!
Plankton: [emerges from SpongeBob's sock] Note to self: Never stow away in a gym sock.
[Bubbles goes out of the ocean, floating in the air, & he opens his blowhole shining sunlight in his mouth]<bbr>Patrick: What's happening? I feel tingly.
[Bubbles shoots everyone out of his blowhole & flings everyone on the shoreline]
Squidward: Ow, my neck.
[SpongeBob flips upward.]
Bubbles: I've done all I can. The rest is up to you.
SpongeBob: Thank you, Bubbles!
Bubbles: Farewell, SpongeBob!
SpongeBob: Farewell, Bubbles!
Bubbles: Now, to update my- hmm-m-m, r-r-résumé!
Sandy: [takes off her helmet] Ah, fresh air. Oh, how I've missed you.
Squidward: Ugh! This place smells awful!
SpongeBob: Come on, guys. Let's get the Krabby Patty formula & save Bikini Bottom. [as they walk around, they start singing "The Music in my Mind"] Whoa, what is this place?
Mr. Krabs: I have a bad feeling about this.
Patrick: [walks up to a bare foot] Maybe this guy knows where we are. He looks smart. He's got 5 heads!
SpongeBob: Uh, sir? Could you tell us where to find a Krabby Patty?
Patrick: Hey, my friend's talking to you! [pokes the foot]
SpongeBob: [peeks from behind the foot] What? [he gasps at a sleeping male sunbather] A giant, hairy porpoise! It's beached! It's suffering. Poor thing!
Sandy: Y'all, those aren't porpoises.
Mr. Krabs: All hands on deck!
[Everyone goes over to SpongeBob.]
Sandy: Oh, brother.
Mr. Krabs: We need to get these guys back in the water!
SpongeBob: Come on, push!
[The gang including Sandy flips the sunbather over to the ocean & Mr. Krabs yells "Heave!" & everyone else yells "Ho!"]
Mr. Krabs: Put your back into it!
SpongeBob: Come on, push! [the sleeping sunbather squishes everyone on his back]
Squidward: Well, I guess this is where that horrible smell was coming from.
[Everyone burrows out from under his back & they run into a shovel, bumping into it. SpongeBob and his friends split up and they pop out of a girl's sand castle and they turn around.]
Beach girl: Whoa!
SpongeBob: Excuse me, do you know where we can get a Krabby Patty around here?
Beach boy: [walks by the sand castle] Invaders!
SpongeBob: Uh-oh!
Beach boy: You get out of my sister's sand castle! [kicks the sandcastle really hard, sending SpongeBob & the others flying]
Beach girl: Mom!
[Everyone starts to fly towards Canterlot High.]
SpongeBob: Brace for impact, everyone! [holds Gary]
[Meanwhile, at Canterlot High...]
Applejack: What do ya mean the portal's gone?
Sunset Shimmer: I mean it's gone. It's closed. It's not there anymore!
Rainbow Dash: How'd that happen?
Sunset Shimmer: I don't know. But it has something to do with that Twilight.
Applejack: What in tarnation is she up to?
Indigo Zap: [notices SpongeBob & crew flying towards her] Huh?
[The window breaks as SpongeBob & his friends (& pet) land on Indigo's face. Everyone checks out to investigate & they all look at the hurt crew.]
Sunset Shimmer: Are you guys OK?
SpongeBob: No...
Pinkie Pie: Hi, I'm Pinkie Pie!
Sunset Shimmer: You know, that's right! We should probably introduce ourselves! Um, my name is Sunset Shimmer.
Rainbow Dash: I'm Rainbow Dash, & I'm awesome!
Fluttershy: I-I'm Fluttershy.
Rarity: Rarity, it's a pleasure.
Applejack: And the name's Applejack! Who're y'all?
SpongeBob: Oh, hello! My name is SpongeBob SquarePants! [holds Gary] This is my pet snail, Gary! [Gary meows, making Fluttershy squee]
Patrick: Uh, I'm Patrick.
Sandy: Howdy, sister? The name's Sandy Cheeks from Texas!
Applejack: [to Sandy] Oh, I'm likin' you already, partner!
Squidward: [deadpan] I'm Squidward, & everyone is horrible.
Mr. Krabs: And I be Eugene Krabs, owner of The Krusty Krab! Now, may I ask ye lassies if ye know where the nearest Krabby Patty is?
Applejack: Krabby what?
SpongeBob: Um, you see, we've been trying to find the Krabby Patty secret formula since our world has uh... been kind of in a pickle for the past day, & we were wondering if you have found it.
Sunset Shimmer: Um, no, actually. Wait, did you guys say something about being from another world? Maybe you guys can help us! Maybe... you guys know how else to get to Equestria!
SpongeBob: Oh, we just came from underwater.
Sunset Shimmer: Oh, okay, then. But how are you all anthophomorphic & breathing air?
Sandy: Well, sometimes there are things in life that shouldn't be questioned.
Sunset Shimmer: Okay, that explains a lot. Now if you'll excuse me... [approaches Sci-Twi] Twilight, what have you been up to?
SpongeBob: [hops on the table with everyone else] Wait, what?
Indigo Zap: [gets up] Who wants to know?
Rainbow Dash: Um, we do.
Mr. Krabs: [to Twilight] Do ye have me formuler? I might have SpongeBob here laugh at a knock-knock joke again to make you talk! [pulls SpongeBob into scene as the camera zooms to his laughing face]
Sunny Flare: Get that maniac away from me!
Sci-Twi: Wait, aquatic organisms who can talk? You can't realistically do that!
Applejack: All right, everyone. Let's not get too competitive before the games even start.
SpongeBob: Wait, what games? The Fry Cook Games? I don't mean to brag, but I could totally win that!
Sugarcoat: The games aren't really competitive since we've never lost.
Fluttershy: That's not a very nice thing to say.
Sunny Flare: Sorry, dearie, but these games aren't about being nice.
Rarity: Well, you might use a little tact.
Squidward: A little clarinet solo may soothe things up! [plays the clarinet horribly, causing everyone to cover their ears in pain, & once he notices, he sings "I Hate People"]
Pinkie Pie: Well, that was sure a sour note! [turns to Sci-Twi] Hi, I'm Pinkie Pie!
Sci-Twi: Oh, hi. I'm Twilight.
Pinkie Pie: I know. You look just like my friend. Her name is Twilight too.
Sci-Twi: That's... heh, weird.
Sandy: [observing the conversation] Technically, it wouldn't really be coincidental because people can legally have same first names.
Pinkie Pie: [gestures to Twilight's device] What's that?
Sci-Twi: It's sort of a spectrometer. I built it to track EM frequencies, but it can also contain anomalies. It measures things.
Sandy: Hoo, nelly! That's mah type!
Pinkie Pie: Like the party?
Sci-Twi: Yeah, though it doesn't look like much of a party to me.
Pinkie Pie: I know. Something is definitely missing. Come on! [drags Sci-Twi]
Sci-Twi: Aah!
[SpongeBob & Patrick go to the concession stand, where they find all sorts of food.]
Patrick: [dazed at the sight of an ice cream] Where have you been all my life? [gobbles up the ice cream]
Sunny Flare: Gross! I'm not eating at this stand!
Patrick: [walks by the other concessions] SpongeBob, you will not believe the size of the ice creams here! I wonder what other giant snacks they have- COTTON CANDY?!
SpongeBob: Wow!
Sandy: If you ate all that, you'd have enough energy to run around the whole world! [SpongeBob & Patrick eat all the cotton candy & go on a sugar rush, laughing as Sandy puts a postcard rack behind them, removing postcard after postcard]
Squidward: Ugh, when is this sugar gonna wear off!?
Principal Celestia: [goes onstage] Hello, everyone! I'd like to take this opportunity to greet all of our visitors from Crystal Prep Academy & welcome them to CHS.
[Sci-Twi & Pinkie enter the venue with party cannons in tow.]
Sci-Twi: [grunts] What in the world is in these?
Pinkie Pie: Party cannons, of course!
Principal Celestia: And lastly, I would like to recognize the 12 students that CHS has elected to compete. I don't think we could have chosen a better group to represent the excellence, sportsmanship, & friendship the games stand for.
Sci-Twi: Um, are you sure this is a good idea?
Pinkie Pie: Absolutely! [fires the party cannon & ponies up] Ooh, floaty!
Mr. Krabs: Barnacles!
Squidward: What is this magic madness?!
SpongeBob: Whoa! That's amazing! [Sci-Twi's device sucks up Pinkie's magic] What just happened?
Pinkie Pie: Aw! Oh. I am party pooped.
Principal Cinch: [goes up onstage] I'd like to thank Principal Celestia for her unconventional welcome. It's been 4 years since the last Friendship Games, but it feels as though nothing has changed. Canterlot High continues to pick its competitors in a popularity contest and Crystal Prep continues to field its top 12 students. It is a comfort to know that even after so many years of losses, your school remains committed to its ideals, however misguided they may be. I wish you all the best of luck, regardless of the inevitable outcome.
Patrick: [jumps up to Cinch] What do you mean, 'inevitable outcome'? [Cinch casually swats him off, but SpongeBob rescues him] Well, she's rude.
Principal Cinch: Disgusting little critter.
SpongeBob: Patrick! You shouldnt've done that! But, I will admit, she is very rude.
Pinkie Pie: Oh.
Applejack: I'm sorry, Pinkie. I thought your party additions were really swell.
Fluttershy: They definitely broke the ice.
Rarity: Yes. If only that Principal Cinch hadn't frozen it again.
Pinkie Pie: Yeah, she's awful.
Patrick: I couldn't agree more!
Sunset Shimmer: Wow, Pinkie, what happened to you?
Pinkie Pie: I don't know. Everyone started having fun after Twilight & I fired the party cannons & I ponied up.
Sunset Shimmer: Of course you did.
Pinkie Pie: But then the magic just drained right out of me.
Sunset Shimmer: Wait, what do you mean "drained out of you"?
Sandy: Now this is just bordering on supernatural!
SpongeBob: "Ponied up"? Magic? I'm confused.
Rarity: Eh, I wouldn't worry too much about that if I were you. Sunset is investigating those, my darling.
SpongeBob: Aw, you're too much.
Applejack: Hey. Where is that other Twilight?
Pinkie Pie: Oh. She's right... Uh, well, she was right here.
SpongeBob: What do you mean, "other Twilight"?
Sunset Shimmer: Hoo, boy. This is gonna be a long day.
Frenchy: 1 inexplicably tiring explanation session later...
Vice Principal Luna: [over P.A. system] Good morning, students. I'm sure you're all thrilled to start the first day of the Friendship Games. Our competitors will face off in every aspect of the CHS curriculum, culminating in the elimination equation finale.
Dean Cadance: Welcome to the first event, the Academic Decathlon! You'll be scored on chemistry, home-ec & everything in between. But remember, only the 6 students from each team with the most points will move on to event number 2. Good luck!
SpongeBob: Good luck, you guys! WOOO! [holds a "#1" foam finger]
[A montage of the Academic Decathlon plays while "ACADECA" plays in the background.]
Principal Cinch: Incorrect!
Vice Principal Luna: That means the winner of the Friendship Games' 1st event is Twilight Sparkle & Crystal Prep!
[Crystal Prep flatly cheers & applauds.]
Rainbow Dash: That was awesome!
Rarity: Truly amazing!
Sunset Shimmer: But we didn't win!
Applejack: That was as close to winnin' as Canterlot's ever been.
Dean Cadance: After a careful tally of the points, we'd like to present the students moving on to the Friendship Games' 2nd event.
[The Mane 6 & SpongeBob's group cheer. Meanwhile, Sci-Twi's team-mates don't have much of a reaction to the results.]
Flash Sentry: Congratulations! You were really great!
Sci-Twi: I'm sorry. Excuse me.
Flash Sentry: Okay, then. Aw.
Squidward: Ha! At least I'm not the only miserable one here. [SpongeBob elbows him] What?
Mr. Krabs: Keep yerselves on high alert. While it wouldn't hurt to adjust ourselves to this new environment, don't forget why we're really here, mateys.
[SpongeBob's group walks off & visits Fluttershy outside.]
Mr. Krabs: Any sign of the scent of Krabby Patties, lassie?
Fluttershy: Uhhhh...
SpongeBob: Mr. Krabs, I don't think she can tell the smell of a Krabby Patty.
Mr. Krabs: Let's keep ourselves on our toes, boy-o. The scent could pop up anytime, anywhere!
SpongeBob: [looks at all the animals under Fluttershy's care] Awwww, they're so cute! [pats Angel]
Plankton: [looks out of SpongeBob's sock & sees Angel] Nope. Not again. [slides back in]
Fluttershy: [notices Sci-Twi approaching] Do you wanna give her a treat?
Sci-Twi: Guess I'm not the only one to smuggle her pet into school.
Fluttershy: [giggles] Not just 1.
Sci-Twi: Oh, wow. All I have is Spike.
Patrick: [to Fluttershy] Am I a good boy? Am I a good boy? Please, give me pats! Give me pats!
Fluttershy: [pats Patrick] It really is uncanny. Does he talk?
Sci-Twi: Um, not that I know of.
Fluttershy: Congratulations on winning, by the way. Though, it didn't seem like anyone on your team was very excited about it.
Sci-Twi: No one at my school gets excited about anything they didn't do themselves.
Fluttershy: That sounds awful. [holds out a bunny] Here. Hold this.
Sci-Twi: Um, why?
Fluttershy: Holding a bunny always makes me feel better.
Sci-Twi: Well, that's ridiculous. But... ooh. It actually kind of works. I'm on the other team and you just lost. Why are you being so nice to me?
Fluttershy: You looked like you needed it. [ponies up]
Sci-Twi: [gasps] Whoa!
[Her device activates, & captures not only Fluttershy's magic, but our underwater heroes' breathing powers, except for Sandy, who can breathe just fine on land.]
Sandy: Hang on tight!
[She puts on their water helmets they use every time they enter her treedome at home, including one for Gary. A portal appears, with a jackalope emerging. Spike tries chasing after it in the portal.]
Plankton: [inside SponngeBob's pocket] I really needed that...
Sci-Twi: Spike! Spike!
[Fluttershy rescue Spike as the device closes.]
Sci-Twi: Spike, are you okay?
Puppy Spike: Um, I think so.
[The 2 scream as Sci-Twi runs off.]
Puppy Spike: Twilight, wait!
Fluttershy: Bye. [turns to SpongeBob's friends] Wait, why are all of you except Sandy wearing helmets?
SpongeBob: We would dehydrate if we weren't anywhere near water! That's why we wear these everytime we go to her treedome.
Fluttershy: Well, as early as I now, I do hope you're able to find what you're looking for. Must seem really important to you, right?
Sandy: You have no idea, sister.
[Meanwhile, Spike was still chasing after his owner.]
Puppy Spike: Twilight, come on! Wait for me! [panting] Why did you run away like that?
Sci-Twi: Um, oh, I don't know. Maybe it has something to do with the glowing girl, or the hole in space. Or my talking dog!
Puppy Spike: Yeah. Weird, right?
Sci-Twi: Are you okay? How do you feel? What happened? Where did you go?
Puppy Spike: Hey, one question at a time! This is pretty new to me, too.
Sci-Twi: Sorry.
Puppy Spike: All I know is I chased that pointy rabbit through the glowy thing & then I was somewhere else. Next thing I knew, I was back in that nice girl's arms & I could talk! I don't really understand why I couldn't before. I mean, it's so easy.
Principal Cinch: Twilight.
Sci-Twi: Quick! Hide in here! [hides him in a locker]
Principal Cinch: Who are you talking to?
Sci-Twi: Um, myself. It's a nervous habit. Were you looking for me?
Principal Cinch: Indeed I was. Quite a coincidence that the CHS students moving on to the next event are the same nice girls who were so interested in you, don't you think?
Sci-Twi: I'm not sure.
Principal Cinch: Perhaps you should get to know them after all.
Sci-Twi: But I thought you didn't want me to.
Principal Cinch: Let's just say I'm covering my bases. Who knows? Perhaps they will reveal to you the secret to Canterlot High's newfound success.
Sci-Twi: I dunno. Spying feels kind of... wrong.
Principal Cinch: Well, it's your decision, Twilight. It's not as if your application hangs in the balance. On second thought, yes, it does.
Puppy Spike: Man, she's awful. What are you gonna do?
Sci-Twi: [sighs] I don't know, Spike. I don't know.
[Meanwhile, Fluttershy & SpongeBob explained everything.]
Fluttershy: All I did was hand Twilight a bunny. Then I ponied up.
Sunset Shimmer: I just don't get it. Rarity's magic came out when she made us outfits. Pinkie's when she fixed the party & now Fluttershy.
Fluttershy: And then Twilight's pendant thingy just pulled the magic right out of me. I couldn't even stand up.
Pinkie Pie: Like me at the party!
Rarity: Or me right before we met Twilight!
SpongeBob: She took our breathing powers too!
Sunset Shimmer: So she's stealing magic?
Applejack: I don't know. She doesn't seem like the magic-stealin' type.
Sunset Shimmer: Yeah, but she had something to do with closing the portal. If her pendant can pull in magic, maybe it stole the portal, too.
Fluttershy: How?
Sunset Shimmer: I don't know. And the pony or person or princess who could help me figure this out is completely unreachable now.
Pinkie Pie: Which is too bad, because Twilight knows everything about magic & portals and magical portals & portable magics!
Mr. Krabs: We're either destroying that device or stealing it to get our abilities back!
Rainbow Dash: For now, let's just focus on beating the Shadowbolts. And as long as this event puts me in a playing field, I don't think we've got anything to worry about.
Mr. Krabs: Or in our case, retrieving me formuler.
Applejack: Oh, it puts you on a playin' field, alright.
[Pinkie gasps at the sight of the field.]
Sunset Shimmer: Am I the only one who thinks this is overkill?
SpongeBob: How big is this place?
Applejack: [to Rarity] I don't suppose you made motocross outfits.
Rarity: Oh, don't be ridiculous. Of course I did!
SpongeBob: Did you say motorcross? DRIVING?! Ooh, I wanna try! I wanna prove to my boating teacher Mrs. Puff I can get my driver's license!
Sunset Shimmer: Um, no, that's not what-
Rarity: Wait, how long have you been taking driving school?
SpongeBob: Been over a decade now! Or longer. Or shorter, I couldn't tell.
Rarity: Wuh-wu-HOW!? [faints]
SpongeBob: I don't know. Although, I think some outside force does not want me to get my license.
[The camera cuts to the scene in the process of being animated, as Stephen Hillenburg & Paul Tibbitt watch in horror.]
Stephen: Does he know?
[Meanwhile, with Crystal Prep...]
Principal Cinch: You will race in pairs. Indigo Zap & Sugarcoat will handle the motocross.
Indigo Zap: Yes!
Principal Cinch: Lemon Zest & Sunny Flare have requested the short track. [the 2 mentioned high-5] Since archery is a standard requirement at our school, any of you should be able to do it. Twilight & Sour Sweet will start us off.
Sour Sweet: [sweetly] Well, that's just marvelous! [sourly] If you wanna lose before we even start!
Principal Cinch: Given that Twilight won the last event single-handedly, I have every confidence that she will be able to pull her weight here. Won't you?
[At the race...]
Dean Cadance: Welcome, everyone to the Friendship Games Tricross Relay! [the crowd & SpongeBob's group cheers] In this event, our qualifying competitors will face off in archery, speed skating, & finally, motocross. So if the competitors are ready... [blows airhorn as the scene cuts to Sour Sweet & Fluttershy getting past obstacles] Each competitor must hit a bullseye before their teammates can start the next leg of the relay.
[As the games go on, with very lengthy descriptions on the events transpiring, SpongeBob starts to smell a quite familiar smell...]
SpongeBob: Hey guys. I smell Krabby Patties! [jumps down] I think it's this way! [SpongeBob and the others dodge speed-skaters all over the track. They run to the side, but Squidward gets caught in the fray; luckily, Sandy picks him up & carries him in her arms to safety] Now what?
Squidward: We're never gonna make it!
[Patrick bumps his head on a bike pedal & SpongeBob gets an idea. The camera cuts back to Sci-Twi, who keeps missing the arrows.]
Sour Sweet: [sourly] Well, that's just fantastic!
Fluttershy: I'm sure glad I don't go to Crystal Prep.
Applejack: You said it.
Dean Cadance: If CPA can't hit another bullseye soon, they'll be out of this race.
Sugarcoat: [to Sci-Twi] You're really bad at this!
Applejack: Ugh! I can't take anymore! Ya have to stop aimin' at the target.
Sour Sweet: [sweetly sarcastic] Oh, that makes perfect sense! Don't aim at the target! Thanks so much!
Applejack: Ya have to stop aimin' at where the target is an' aim at where the target's gonna be.
Sour Sweet: [sweetly sarcastic] Yeah! Definitely take advice from the person [sourly] you're competing against!
Applejack: Do you wanna hit the bullseye or not? Then trust me. Take a deep breath. [Sci-Twi follows her instructions] And let the arrow go... riiiiight.... now! [Sci-Twi releases the arrow, finally hitting it right on the spot]
Puppy Spike: Yeah! That's my girl!
Applejack: See? I was tellin' ya the truth. [ponies up, causing the device to take her magic away] Eh, what... are... you... doing?!
Sci-Twi: I don't know!
[The scene changes to Sunset & Rainbow on the race track, on their motorcycles. SpongeBob & Patrick, meanwhile, are on the track, too, jumping on the pedals of the bike they bumped into as the others steer. SpongeBob says "Heave," & Patrick says "Ho." RD looks back.]
Rainbow Dash: What are you guys doing? Get out of there!
Dean Cadance: What's this? There's a bike going the opposite direction, seemingly being controlled by... a piece of cheese, a pink star, a crab, a squirrel, a tiny snail, & an octopus? Now it's heading to the bleachers!
Principal Cinch That stupid pink star! It's back! [gesturing to the rest of SpongeBob's crew] And what are those... things with it?
SpongeBob: We're doing it, guys!
[As they bike in front of some of the people seated, they accidentally ram over Flash Sentry's legs.]
Flash Sentry: MY LEGS!
[The crew see a stroller in the audience.]
Sandy: Hold on!
[Mr. Krabs hits the bike bell & yells in shock.]
Baby: SpongeBob!
SpongeBob: Huh? Lean!
[They steer the bike away, ride up a ramp, & fall off the bike into a wagon. By the time we cut back, a monster from the Everfree forest in Equestria emerges, nabbing Sugarcoat. Sunset then slips, causing Rainbow Dash to turn around to rescue her friend.]
Sunset Shimmer: Dash, you saved me!
Rainbow Dash: I wasn't about to let my friend become plant food. [ponies up] We can still win this!
[Sunset races with a student from Crystal Prep to the finish line. Sunset manages to cross it first.]
Dean Cadance: Canterlot wins! Attention students, please proceed to the gym.
Applejack: Is everybody alright?
Rainbow Dash: Better than alright! We won!
Sunset Shimmer: Yeah, we won, but somebody could've been seriously hurt. The magic is going haywire & I have no idea how to fix it!
Sci-Twi: Um, excuse me, I didn't mean for any of this to happen. I just wanted to learn about the strange energy coming from your school. I didn't know that it was magic or... how it works.
Rainbow Dash: That's okay. Neither do we.
[Back with SpongeBob & his friends, they notice a pirate ship/food truck abomination.]
Mr. Krabs: What the-?
SpongeBob: What? "Home of the Krabby Patty?" But the Krusty Krab is the home of the Krabby Patty! Mr. Krabs, what are we gonna do?!
Mr. Krabs: [pushes SpongeBob out of the way] $8.99 for a Krabby Patty?! Why didn't I think of that? [scene cuts to Burger Beard making Krabby Patties when SpongeBob and the others climb up on the counter and Mr. Krabs pulls his pants up] You! [Burger Beard turns around] Cease & desist that unauthorized patty flippin'!
SpongeBob: Yeah, that's my job!
Burger Beard: How did you get here? You cannot breathe air.
SpongeBob: Well, there was this magical dolphin from the future who shot us out of his blowhole & then-
Burger Beard: Wait! Wait. That's not in the book.
Mr. Krabs: Book?
[Cut back to Sci-Twi's device, which sucks up Rainbow Dash's pony magic.]
Sci-Twi: Oh, no! Oh, no no no! Not again! I'm sorry! It just started absorbing energy on its own! But I'm not sure how!
Sunset Shimmer: What do you mean you don't know how?!
[Cut back to Burger Beard.]
Burger Beard: There's no magical dolphin in this story.
Mr. Krabs: What story?
Burger Beard: The story of how Bikini Bottom was brought to its knees when its beloved Krabby Patty formula was stolen by me, Burger Beard.
[Cut back to Sci-Twi & Sunset as a portal opens up.]
Sci-Twi: It also causes these corresponding rifts to appear! I don't know how that works either.
Sunset Shimmer: Is there anything you do know?! Like how to get our magic back?! Or how to fix the portal to Equestria?!
Sci-Twi: Equestria?
Sunset Shimmer: You're supposed to be so smart, but did you ever think that you shouldn't be messing around with things you don't understand?!
[The portal closes.]
Sci-Twi: But I wanna understand!
Sunset Shimmer: But you don't! And worst of all, you put the lives of my friends in danger!
Sci-Twi: [voice breaking] I'm sorry. I didn't mean to. [sobbing]
Puppy Spike: Twilight, wait!
[Back with SpongeBob's group confronting Burger Beard. Everyone is shocked, except for Patrick, who's lying on his tummy with a smile.]
Patrick: How does it end?
Burger Beard: Well, let me see. It looks like, um, Burger Beard becomes the richest food truck proprietor in all of the land.
SpongeBob: But how did you steal the formula?
Burger Beard: That was easy. I simply rewrote the story and... [holds the formula in his hand] Poof!
Mr. Krabs: [SpongeBob gasps] Me formuler!
Squidward: What do you mean "rewrote the story"?
Burger Beard: Watch this. [dips a feather in a bottle of ink & as he writes, he says...] The brave & handsome Burger Beard banished our poor heroes to be stranded on Pelican Island!
SpongeBob: Hang on tight, Gary! [Gary meows in fear]
Mr. Krabs: We'll be eaten alive! [everyone disappears to Pelican Island]
Burger Beard: The end!
[He shuts the book, as it cuts to Principals Celesita & Cinch conversing. Celestia clears her throat.]
Principal Cinch: You can't possibly call that a fair race.
Principal Celestia: Principal Cinch, we all saw what happened. You can't think CHS had some kind of advantage.
Principal Cinch: Can't I? Even without your trained attack plants, your students have wings!
Principal Celestia: Well, the race certainly had some... extenuating circumstances. Perhaps we should end the games now & declare a tie.
Principal Cinch: A tie? Was this your strategy all along? To force us into accepting you as equals? I think not. The games will continue and Crystal Prep will prevail despite your antics & whatever performance-enhancing regimen your students are on.
[Cinch leaves, as Sunset talks to Celestia.]
Sunset Shimmer: I'm sorry I couldn't stop all this from happening.
Principal Celestia: It's not your fault, Sunset.
Sunset Shimmer: Isn't it? I should know how to control the magic I brought here. But I don't. I let everyone down. And now Principal Cinch thinks we're cheating.
Principal Celestia: It doesn't matter what Principal Cinch thinks.
Sunset Shimmer: But it does. The students here at CHS don't just wanna win. They wanna beat Crystal Prep. It isn't gonna count if the other side doesn't really think they lost. Crystal Prep is never gonna believe we won fair & square if there's magic around. And that magic is only around... because of me.
[The scene cuts to Pelican Island.]
SpongeBob: Oh, this looks bad! And these guys look hungry! [a pelican swoops in on them] Look out! [everyone ducks] Don't worry, Gary. I won't let these guys eat you! [to the pelicans] Back off from us! We're not chewy!
Squidward: Nice. So this is what teamwork gets you.
Mr. Krabs: Here. Take Squidward, you vile beasts!
Patrick: I wanna be on a new team. This one's broken. [SpongeBob pulls Patrick up]
SpongeBob: Sandy, you're smart. [goes over to Sandy] You have any ideas?
Sandy: I ain't been too smart since I found this old piece of paper!
[She pulls out the torn piece of paper as Plankton emerges from SpongeBob's sock again, laughs evilly & hides back in.]
SpongeBob: What?
Mr. Krabs: Incoming!
SpongeBob: Wait a minute! [he jumps & plucks a feather from a passing pelican] Hope is not lost, everyone! This time, it's our turn to rewrite the story. Now all we need is some ink... [Squidward inks off-screen] oh, which Squidward has helpfully provided.
Squidward: It happens when I'm nervous. [SpongeBob dips the feather in Squidward's ink]
Mr. Krabs: Whatever you're gonna do, make it quick! They're closing in on us! [SpongeBob starts writing on the paper]
SpongeBob: I'm gonna write us an ending.
Patrick: Will it be a happy ending?
SpongeBob: It's gonna be super-powered! [jabs his feather pen on the page & they all return to Burger Beard's food truck, except for Plankton who was left behind]
Plankton: [lifts up the quill & laughs evilly] I'll show you a happy ending. [starts to write on the page as the scene cuts to the Friendship Games tie-breaker]
Dean Cadance: Since the score's tied, the final event will determine the winner of the Friendship Games.
Vice Principal Luna: Somewhere on campus, a pennant from each school has been hidden. The first team to find their school's flag and bring it back wins.
Dean Cadance: And as soon as our teams are ready, we'll begin.
Fluttershy: I don't feel like playing these games anymore.
Rainbow Dash: But we have to play. This is the last event!
Rarity: [scoffs] It's a little hard to focus with all the magic stealing and portal opening.
Sunset Shimmer: And I feel awful about what I said to Twilight.
Fluttershy: Especially since she obviously didn't mean to do all the stuff she did. She's actually really nice.
Applejack: Let's just get through this last event & prove we're not a bunch of cheaters. Then you can go over & apologize.
[Meanwhile, with the Crystal Prep team...]
Principal Cinch: I know I'm asking you to beat a team that isn't playing fair, but Canterlot High must be made to understand that even with magic at their disposal, beating Crystal Prep is simply not an option.
Sugarcoat: What if they grow wings again?
Principal Cinch: A fair question. Though I believe we can now fight fire with fire. I've seen what your device can do, Twilight. Containing magical energy is fine, but have you considered releasing it?
Sci-Twi: But I don't even understand how it works.
Principal Cinch: But you'd like to. And since our opponents have already used it to stay competitive, I see no reason why we shouldn't do the same. Unless, of course, you have no interest in Everton. Though, honestly, I think there's more knowledge packed in that little device than any independent study program could offer.
[The 2 sing "Unleash the Magic" as the device opens & the force pulls Sci-Twi in.]
Sci-Twi: [struggles] Heeeeeeeeeelllllllp... meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! [grunts & screams as she transforms into Midnight Sparkle, evilly laughing, & speaks to Sunset] You were right! I didn't understand magic before, but I do now! [opens portals to places in Equestria]
Sunset Shimmer: Equestria!
Sunny Flare: [sees their principal fleeing] Hey! Where are you going?!
Principal Cinch: Anywhere to avoid that... monster! And I suggest you do the same!
Sunset Shimmer: Twilight, you can't do this!
Midnight Sparkle: Why not?! There's a whole other world right there, & it's just filled with magic!
Sunset Shimmer: But you're destroying this world to get it!
Midnight Sparkle: So what? There's more magic there, & I want to understand it all! [portals open in on students, & the Mane 6 rush to help them]
Applejack: Don't let go!
[After helping a fellow student, Rarity falls into the portal, hanging from the opening with 1 hand.]
Rainbow Dash: Hang on!
Rarity: Obviously! [is about to fall, but...]
Indigo Zap: [holds Rarity alongside Lemon Zest] We got you!
[Sunset uses the device to restore her friends' magic, enraging Midnight, about to attack, but SpongeBob, Patrick, Mr. Krabs, Squidward, & Gary drop down below her, now as superheroes, & as they pose, Patrick faces the opposite direction.]
Mr. Superawesomeness: Da-da-da-duh!
Invincibubble: Patrick!
Mr. Superawesomeness: Huh? [looks at SpongeBob & then turns around] Hey, I got feet!
Principal Cinch: It's those... things! But why are they muscular? And why is the crab metallic now?
[Cut to 2 of Burger Beard's customers. One of them has a disgusted reaction to his burger & tries looking inside.]
Surfer Dude: What's in these things? [his fellow surfer dude shrugs]
Invincibubble: [turns to Burger Beard with the rest of the group] We'll take one secret formula... to go! [Burger Beard turns around as SpongeBob turns his attention to the pirate's customers] Clear the area, citizens. There's going to be some serious... aft-kicking here!
[The customers act surprised, as one of them takes a picture.]
Female Customer #1: Those guys must work out.
Female Customer #2: I know. I think they're in my spin class.
Burger Beard: [angrily grumbles at the sight of SpongeBob & his friends] But... I banished you.
Invincibubble: Sour Note?
[Sour Note activates his clarinet, prepares to blow, & plays it horribly, causing everyone except the Mane 6, Midnight, & Crystal Prep students to leave.]
Kyle: My tiny little eardrums!
Midnight Sparkle: I've had enough of this! [uses her powers to fling Sour Note to a wall]
Invincibubble: Are you okay?
Sour Note: ...No...
Sunset Shimmer: This isn't the way! I know you feel powerful right now, like you can have everything you want! I've been where you are, I've made the same mistake you're making! I put on a crown &, just like you, I was overwhelmed by the magic it contained! I thought it could get me everything I wanted!
Midnight Sparkle: Oh, you're wrong. Unlike you, I can have everything I want!
Sunset Shimmer: No, you can't. Even with all that magic and power, you'll still be alone! True magic comes from honesty! Loyalty! Laughter! Generosity! Kindness! I understand you, Twilight, & I want to show you the most important magic of all... [transforms into Daydream Shimmer] ...the magic of friendship! [goes off to fight Midnight as SpongeBob's group takes on Burger Beard]
Invincibubble: Alright, team! Let's do this! Mr. Superawesomeness, take him down! [Patrick uses his mind powers to summon ice cream, which he eats] Maybe we could've picked a better superpower for you, Patrick.
Burger Beard: [steps out with the book & quill] Let's see you get out of this one! [SpongeBob gasps]
Sir Pinch-a-lot: Ka-ching! [launches his claws at Burger Beard's arms]
Invincibubble: Get ready for the Invincibubble! [he blows a bubble which engulfs the book & floats away from Burger Beard]
Burger Beard: No! My book!
Invincibubble: All right, team. Time for hands in the middle! [Gary meows as to say "I don't have hands."]
Sir Pinch-a-lot: Yes! Huh? [sees that he doesn't have his claws] Oh yeah. [he retracts 1 claw, causing Burger Beard to break free of the other claw & escape]
Pinkie Pie: Hey, count us in!
Sour Note: You didn't even do anything!
Rainbow Dash: So what?
Invincibubble: Great job, guys, we did it! [everyone joins hands, including Sunset's friends as a realistic squirrel hand (belonging to Sandy) joins in, grossing them out as they look at Sandy's superhero form]
The Rodent: What?
Applejack: What happened to ya, sister?
Invincibubble: Is that, you...?
The Rodent: You can call me, THE RODENT! HIIIIIIIII-YA! [does a karate pose]
Mr. Superawesomeness: Hey, where'd the pirate go?
[They all look to see that Burger Beard's ship is gone. SpongeBob licks the grease left behind.]
Invincibubble: Hmm. It looks like Burger Beard forgot the first rule of mobile fry-cooking: always batten down your grease traps.
Sir Pinch-a-lot: Follow that grease, team! [he leaps in the air & his lower body transforms into a jet cycle]
Rainbow Dash: Well, what are we waiting for? Let's kick some pirate butt!
Pinkie Pie: Yeah, we wanna help! It is the magic of friendship & teamwork after all that can help us defeat this party pooper!
Invincibubble: Sure thing!
Applejack: Wait! Why are we going up against someone already without knowing who they even are? Who was that?
Sir Pinch-a-Lot: His name be Burger Beard! He be the one who stole me formuler & made Bikini Bottom an apocalyptic cesspool!
Rainbow Dash: Formu-what?
Rarity: The name of your town is very disgusting, no offense.
Invincibubble: He's talking about the Krabby Patty secret formula! If we don't get it back, our town will revert to its' ruined state! Now, let's roll out!
Rainbow Dash: Wait, I forgot to ask this, but how can a simple food formula be a social stabiliz- [sees Mr. Krabs boost up] You know what, nevermind, let's just go!
[She & her friends follow Mr. Krabs on motorcycles from the motorcross event. Patrick gets on SpongeBob like a surfboard as he blows bubbles to boost them up. Squidward rides Sandy like a cowboy, & all of them give chase to Burger Beard. Back with Daydream & Midnight, the 2 fire energy blasts at each other, both colliding. The latter is busy overpowering her opponent when Spike does his puppy eyes act.]
Sci-Twi: Spike? [transforms back into Midnight realizing it was a distraction, allowing Daydream to advance on her] NOOOOOOO!!! [she & Daydream soon become enclosed in a white void]
Daydream Shimmer: Take my hand, Twilight. Let me show you there's another way... just like someone once did for me.
[Midnight holds her hand as they return back to CHS.]
Midnight Sparkle: I am so sorry... I didn't mean for any of this to happen...
Daydream Shimmer: I know. And going by my own experiences, they'll forgive you. [notices her friends are gone] Wait, where'd everybody go?
Derpy: Uh... they, uh... went that way. [points to a holed wall] I think they're chasing some dumb pirate or something like that.
Daydream Shimmer: [turns to Sci-Twi] What do you say?
[Sci-Twi nods as they get on a motorcycle & chase after Burger Beard, & eventually, meet up with their friends.]
Applejack: Hey, Sunset! How are things goin'?
Daydream Shimmer: Oh, I finally got this world's Twilight on our side! She's changed!
Rainbow Dash: That's great to hear! Now, let's go help our friends!
Daydream Shimmer: Right!
Burger Beard: [looks at his rear mirrors, seeing SpongeBob's crew] Eh... [notices Sunset & her friends] Wait, what? Ugh, my supposed happy story got more crazier! [he takes off with his sails, but our heroes start speeding up as well as Patrick starts holding on to the ship] Oh, no you don't!
[Patrick gets his feet off SpongeBob, almost causing him to fall off had he not used his bubble-boositng abilities, causing him to hit his head on part of the ship. Luckily, he grabs on to Patrick, almost exposing his buttocks. Burger Beard then steps on a contraption releasing an anchor & knocking everyone in the way off. He laughs, & soon sets his sights on the book.]
Invincibubble: Everyone, all hands on deck! [our superheroes & the Mane 7 ride on the anchor] He's after the book! Sandy, use your squirrel powers!
The Rodent: Roger that! [walks on the chain]
Applejack: It's too dangerous, partner!
The Rodent: It's okay! I can manage!
Invincibubble: [notices Burger Beard getting closer to the book] Oh, she's never going to make it! [notices a fish statue] Everyone, lean! [they lean & hook the anchor to a fish statue & fall off as the seagulls watch]
Andy: That's what you get!
[Burger Beard holds on until the bubble containing the book comes closer to him.]
Burger Beard: Come here.
Invincibubble: [notices Burger Beard & the book] THE BOOK! SOUR NOTE! [Squidward's clarinet playing makes the bubble pop, & the book to fall on the grill, burning it] All right, Burger Beard, prepare to be teamworked!
Pinkie Pie: And friendshipped!
Burger Beard: I'm going to scrub my armpits with you.
Rainbow Dash: Ew.
Invincibubble: Uh, I don't get it.
Sour Note: Because you're a sponge.
Midnight Sparkle: Moreso, taking on the general appearance of a dishwashing sponge.
Burger Beard: Duh.
Invincibubble: Oh. What's a dishwashing sponge?
Daydream Shimmer: Gosh, we're gonna be here all day.
Burger Beard: And if you teenagers don't move along, I'll have to use all of you to scrub my armpits too!
Fluttershy: That wasn't nice, you meanie!
Rarity: I have imagined that & now I can never unsee it.
[Gary angrily meows at Burger Beard.]
Invincibubble: Get him, The Rodent!
The Rodent: Consider him roasted! [she buries her face in a Mr. Nutter peanut cart & spits the nuts at Burger Beard until she runs out of ammo] Aw, nuts! I'm all out of nuts!
[Burger Beard goes up to the highest point of his ship & laughs at our heroes.]
Mr. Superawesomeness: Justice is best, soft-served. [uses his mind control powers to fire the ice creams at Burger Beard]
Invincibubble: Patrick, I should have never doubted your powers!
Pinkie Pie: Ooh, I want some ice cream!
[Burger Beard spins around & the cones follow, redirecting them at Patrick's direction as everyone except Pinkie gets out of the way.]
Pinkie Pie: I'll cover for you, Patrick! [in the process, both are plummeted with ice cream until they fall down]
Mr. Superawesomeness: I can't think of a sweeter way to go.
Pinkie Pie: You can say that again.
Burger Beard: Ha! It's all... MINE!
Sir Pinch-a-lot: Not so fast, Booger Beard! [fires both his claws at Burger Beard's mast, sending it crashing down, dropping the formula bottle, which rolls to the street, as Mr. Krabs goes to get it] Me formuler. [notices Burger Beard] Huh?
Burger Beard: [holding a butter cannon aimed at Mr. Krabs] This will make you feel a little butter.
Sir Pinch-a-lot: [gasps] Not melted butter! [Burger Beard fires the butter cannon at Mr. Krabs sending him flying]
Invincibubble: Mr. Krabs!
Sour Note: [to Burger Beard] You're not getting away with this! [Burger Beard throws a 6-pack soda can plastic ring at Squidward, as he gets entangled in the contraption] What is this diabolical thing?!
Invincibubble: Squidward! [notices the bottle on the street & as he turns to pick it up, Burger Beard aims all his cannons at him]
Burger Beard: Voila!
Daydream Shimmer: SpongeBob, look out!
Invincibubble: Uh-oh. [he sheepishly sets the formula on the ground & Burger Beard starts firing the cannons at SpongeBob who dodges them until he catches a cannon ball in a bubble] Huh? [he starts capturing other cannon balls coming his way] Ta-da!
Daydream Shimmer: Alright, girls. Now that Burger Beard is distracted, we should attack. [the girls stand in position as they prepare to release the Elements of Harmony, but once they release it, he fires a big cannon at them, effectively taking both sides out]
Invincibubble: NO!
[Burger Beard gets up & fires at SpongeBob, sending him crashing to the ground as all the bubbles pop & Burger Beard steals the formula, laughing. A furious Gary emerges from behind to kick him with his legs, but not before the pirate kicks him in the tummy first, causing him to get knocked out & yowl like a cat in pain.]
Rainbow Dash: [emerging from the blast] What the? Is everyone okay?
Fluttershy: [attends to a hurt Gary] Almost... barely...
Rarity: I don't understand. He's just a pirate!
Rainbow Dash: Ugh, we don't have time to complain about a pirate trouncing us, even though we're on the same boat. Everyone's hurt!
Mr. Superawesomeness: [rushes over to the defeated SpongeBob] SpongeBob!
Invincibubble: [weakly] Patrick?
Mr. Superawesomeness: Talk to me, buddy.
Invincibubble: I'm... I'm seeing a bright light.
Mr. Superawesomeness: [blocks the sun from SpongeBob's eyes] Is this better?
Invincibubble: Much. Thank you. But the discomfort I feel in my eyes is nothing compared to the shame I feel for letting down the Patty. For letting down Bikini Bottom. For letting down... all of us.
Mr. Superawesomeness: Yeah, SpongeBob, we really blew it.
Pinkie Pie: As a team, no less!
Invincibubble: Hmmm, yeah, maybe, we can defeat him with friendship & teamwork, but I feel like we're missing something. Or... someone.
Daydream Shimmer: Most likely, it's the Twilight of Equestria were missing right now! If she was with us, maybe we could've easily stop him. [sees Burger Beard starting up his ship] Aaaand he's about to flee.
Invincibubble: True, but there's another guy I'm thinking of...
Plankton: [to Burger Beard, behind his ship] Where do you think you're going?
Daydream Shimmer: Who is that?
Pinkie Pie: He looks funny!
Fluttershy: The little critter is so cute!
Rarity: Couldn't agree more!
Burger Beard: [laughs at Plankton's small size] Why don't you get going, little fella, before you hurt yourself? [Plankton slides out of view, then he begins to lift the pirate ship, revealing is now a muscular & gigantic superhero]
Invincibubble: Plankton?
Daydream Shimmer: Who?
Rarity: Hubba-hubba-hubba- he's muscular!
PlankTON: It's PlankTON! [shakes the ship to coerce Burger Beard] Come on down from there, little fella. You wouldn't wanna get hurt! [Burger Beard hides in his quarters, making Plankton spin the ship around in different directions, until he decides to peek inside] Come out, come out, wherever you are! [turns around] Huh? [Burger Beard sprays hot sauce in his eye, causing him to scream in pain] MY EYE! [he drops the ship, causing Burger Beard to get away]
Invincibubble: He's getting away!
PlankTON: [he jumps over to the ship] Ready for a Plank-TON of bubbles? [SpongeBob smiles at the idea]
Daydream Shimmer: Alright, everyone! Let's use whatever power we've got to take this pirate down!
[The fallen heroes get up as they take on Burger Beard. Sour Note plays his clarinet, The Rodent spits nuts at the pirate's direction, Sir-Pinch-a-Lot prepares to launch his claws, Mr. Superawesomeness summons ice creams headed for Burger Beard, the Mane 7 unleash the Elements of Harmony, & PlankTON blows into the Invincibubble's bubble wand, while he is laughing. The heinous pirate gets trapped in the wave as he finds himself held by Plankton with his fingers.]
PlankTON: The formula, please.
Burger Beard: Come on, team up with me! We'll be rich & powerful, huh?
PlankTON: No thanks. I'm already part of a teamwork. [Burger Beard gives Plankton the formula & gets kicked back to Bikini Atoll where he is buried in the sand (although his head is peeking out), as the heroes cheer]
Mr. Superawesomeness: Can we do hands in the middle again?
Invincibubble: Yes, we can, Patrick. But this time there's more hands to go in the middle. [everyone places their hands on top of each other's, & after that, Plankton hands the formula back to Mr. Krabs]
PlankTON: Well Krabs, I think you're forgetting something that belongs to you.
Sir Pinch-a-Lot: Huh? This doesn't have another insulting note inside, does it?
PlankTON: No, that's the old me. The one who turned his back on everything important just to have that formula all to himself. But I realize now that keeping something to myself is... selfish.
Invincibubble: Especially when that something is the Krabby Patty. Okay, everybody! We did it! [everyone cheers]
PlankTON: So, uh, SpongeBob, who are these people? [gestures to the Mane 7]
Invincibubble: Oh, you better prepare yourself for a very long story, my friend...
[Back at CHS...]
Principal Cinch: Principal Celestia, on behalf of Crystal Prep, I demand that you forfeit the Friendship Games! Clearly, CHS has had unfair advantage for quite some time! And it's certainly obvious that your students have been using magic for their own benefit!
Principal Celestia: I'd like to think that saving the world benefits us all.
Sugarcoat: At least they didn't manipulate Twilight into releasing all the stolen magic & turning into a power-crazed magical creature that tried to rip the world apart just to win a game.
Pinkie Pie: [appears as she, her friends, & SpongeBob's group return] Wow! That's a lot to take in when you say it all at once.
PlankTON: Yes, it is.
Invincibubble: Eh, don't worry, you'll understand the full story the more you think of it.
Principal Cinch: Oh, & those... things are back. Great, exactly what we needed to further ruin the games.
Mr. Superawesomeness: [to Cinch] Listen, you! We're not things. We're just like you: animate, emotional, & existent. You're just a big fat jerk! I'll never forgive you for swatting me off earlier!
Puppy Spike: Yep, that's pretty much what happened.
Sour Sweet: [sweetly] Actually, we're all to blame. [sourly] Mostly it was her.
Principal Cinch: Obviously my students have been infected with your magic, but I plan on taking all of this up with the school board!
Principal Celestia: Good. I'm sure they would be very interested in hearing all about the magical students with wings.
Vice Principal Luna: Oh, & the portals to different dimensions.
Dean Cadance: And don't forget to tell them about the talking dog.
Invincibubble: And especially the aquatic superheroes who came to land to find a secret formula that keeps their society from devolving into an apocalyptic wasteland.
Puppy Spike: Because that would never ruin your reputation.
Principal Celestia: Well, I know these Friendship Games haven't been what any of us expected, but given what we've all just been through, I think it's fair to declare us all winners.
[Everyone cheers.]
Invincibubble: It sure has been a weird day for all of us, but I've got the perfect thing to soothe it all up.
Pinkie Pie: And what might that be?
Sour Note: A clarinet solo from yours truly?
[SpongeBob gets on the podium to sing "The Best Day Ever" as the Rainbooms join in with their instruments & singing. Everyone at the venue, except Cinch, but including the seagulls, watch as they perform & sing along. Once the song is done, Sci-Twi is seen sitting at the front of CHS.]
Dean Cadance: I guess that was 1 way to finish up your time at Crystal Prep. Pretty sure Cinch will be fast-tracking your application after all of that.
Sci-Twi: I've been thinking about it &... I'm not so sure now is the time for me to apply to Everton.
Dean Cadance: Really?
Sci-Twi: I may know about a lot of things, but friendship isn't really one of them. And I'm definitely not gonna learn more about it by being alone all the time.
Dean Cadance: So, you're staying at Crystal Prep?
Sci-Twi: Well, it seems the students here at CHS know an awful lot about the subject. I don't suppose...
Dean Cadance: You could transfer to this school instead.
Sci-Twi: Really?
Dean Cadance: You'd certainly be missed at Crystal Prep. But I think that's a great idea! I'll be sure to speak to Principal Celestia about it right away.
[Meanwhile, the Mane 6 & our aquatic superheroes are together near the statue.]
Sour Note: [gesturing to the CHS horse statue] This right here is art! I could just imagine riding on this majestic horse into the great sunset!
Applejack: I'd reckon that horseplay's gonna get you banned from this place.
Fluttershy: [to Sunset] Still no word from Princess Twilight?
Sunset Shimmer: Not yet. But I think I may have figured out how magic works in this world. We pony up when we're showing the truest part of ourselves. I was so busy waiting for someone else to give me the answers that I gave up looking for them myself. I'm sure there will be more magical problems that pop up in this world, but like Applejack said, Princess Twilight has her own problems to worry about in Equestria. We can't expect her to always be around to help us.
Sci-Twi: But maybe I can be?
Principal Celestia: It seems we have a new Wondercolt here at Canterlot High!
Sci-Twi: I'm not sure how much help I could be. But I'd like to try. If you would all give me a chance.
Principal Celestia: I'm sure I can count on you girls to help her feel at home.
Sunset Shimmer: You sure can.
Invincibubble: Well, now that that's all over... [pulls out a tray of Krabby Patties] WHO'S HUNGRY FOR SOME KRABBY PATTIES? Specially made for you guys!
[The girls squee as they feast on the patties.]
Rarity: Oh, darling, these are very delicious! But how exactly are these so good?
Invincibubble: There is only one way a Krabby Patty can be like that: it depends on the fry cook's devotion to his job & making people happy.
Pinkie Pie: That's actually a great insight, SpongeBob!
Twilight Sparkle: [arrives from the portal] I'm so sorry I didn't get here sooner! I didn't get your messages until just now because I was caught in this time travel loop &, honestly, it was the strangest thing that's ever happened to me! [sees her human universe counterpart & SpongeBob's group] Make that the 2nd strangest.
Sci-Twi: Uh, wow! This is, um... awkward.
Invincibubble: Hello! [bows down & develops a more posh voice] Good day, I assume you must be Princess Twilight. My name is SpongeBob SquarePants. May you be interested in a Krabby Patty? [presents a Krabby Patty]
Twilight Sparkle: You know, I am a bit hungry. [eats the burger] Oh, this is so delicious! Thank you, SpongeBob!
Invincibubble: You're most welcome, Princess.
Sci-Twi: Oh, uh, hi! I-I'm... uh... you.
Twilight Sparkle: Oh, uh, hi, me...! I guess...? Sunset, what's going on around here? Why is there another me? And what's with the muscular aquatic beings here?
Sunset Shimmer: Don't worry, we'll tell you everything you've missed out on.
[After she says this the camera fades to the moment when the story has already been told. The Mane 7, Princess Twilight, & SpongeBob's team are seen walking by the beach.]
PlankTON: And that leads us to now.
Twilight Sparkle: Wow! That was, quite a lengthy story.
Invincibubble: Well, we wish we could stay longer, but we also have our things to deal with &- [realizes he doesn't have the page] Oh, no! I don't have the page! It must be back on Pelican Island!
PlankTON: Don't worry, I thought of everything. [hands out the page] All right, SpongeBob, take us home.
Invincibubble: Thanks. [notices Squidward flexing] Squidward!
Sour Note: Oh, yeah!
Invincibubble: Come on, it's time to go back and open up The Krusty Krab!
Sour Note: Are you out of your patty-flipping mind? [grabs SpongeBob by the collar] I'll never leave this place! I mean, look at me. I'm a god!
Invinicibubble: No, Squidward, you're a cashier. [writes "And our heroes returned to The Krusty Krab."]
Sour Note: Wait a minute! What? No...! [everyone else waves goodbye to their newly-found friends (except Gary, who simply smiles at them), who tearfully wave back as the page's magic makes them disintegrate back to the Krusty Krab, where Squidward is back at the cash register, with his Krusty Krab hat on] Well, it was fun while it lasted.
SpongeBob: Don't be sad, Squidward. I left you a little surprise under your shirt!
Squidward: [he lifts up his shirt] Rock-hard abs! [puts his shirt down then playfully punches SpongeBob's arm] Aw, SpongeBob, you're okay in my book.
SpongeBob: Aw, shucks.
Scooter: Excuse us! We'd like 3,000 Krabby Patties Please!
[Everyone at Bikini Bottom has gathered outside for Krabby Patties and Mr. Krabs' eyes turn into dollar signs.]
Squidward: That must mean things are back to normal.
SpongeBob: [walks out with a huge platter of Krabby Patties] Who wants 3,000 Krabby Patties? [the crowd cheers & hands Gary the first Krabby Patty] First one's for you, Gary. Extra mayo, just the way you like it. [Gary meows "Thank you, SpongeBob!" & takes the Krabby Patty in his mouth] A-ha! Caught you red-handed! Gary hates mayo! [opens up Gary's shell to show Plankton, revealing it was a robot] Plankton! Up to your old tricks again already, eh?
Plankton: Hey, I'm just putting things back the way they were.
SpongeBob: What do you have to say about this, Gary? [the real Gary growls]
Plankton: Oh, shrimp. [he screams as Gary chases him out of the restaurant slowly]
SpongeBob: See you later, te-am-mate! [waves Plankton good-bye]
[Back on Bikini Atoll, a seagull puts Burger Beard's hat on his head.]
Seagull: Now can we sing it? [they start cheering]
Kyle: Pwease, Mr. Piwate?
Burger Beard: Oh, Kyle... how can I say no to you? [a seagull places a picture frame in front of Burger Beard as they cheer] Are you ready, kids?
Seagulls: Aye-aye, Captain.
Burger Beard: Uh, what did you say? There's sand in my ears and I can't hear you!
Seagulls: Aye-aye, Captain!
[They all start singing the SpongeBob theme song as the scene becomes animated, & in the process, Burger Beard becomes Painty]
Bubbles: [as the seagulls & Painty continue singing] Stop it. That's enough! [appears in the scene] SILEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNCCCCCCCCEEEEEEEE!!! [they stop as the music transitions to rap music]
Seagull: Oh, man. I like that song. What happened?
Bubbles: I don't like that song and I put an end to it.
Seagull: Well, this music is terrible.
Bubbles: Well, I suppose you're entitled to your... wait, why am I talking to you?! [starts a rap battle with the seagulls, & after is done he turns his back, arms crossed, grunting] Fine. [rewinds to the part he interrupted, but when they get to the last "SpongeBob SquarePants" the camera zooms out to show a couple of whales emerging from the water, 2 cannons on either side, hillbillies playing banjos whilst riding on elephants as a biplane passes with a banner that reads "SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS", as the elephants honk, the cannons fire, fireworks appear & after that, Bubbles pops up again] That was, pretty good, actually.
[As the closing credits roll, the mashup of Squeeze Me & Right in Front of Me fades into just the former song playing, whilst the Bikini Bottomites are seen in a conga line.]
Patrick: [catching up with the crowd] Oh, sorry!
Pearl: This dance is so last year.
[In the 2nd time the conga line is seen, Mr. Krabs takes Patrick's wallet & throws it once he empties it, making Mrs. Puff inflate.]
Squidward: You know what this needs? A little interpretive dance!
[The 3rd & last time the conga line is seen, everyone is still dancing the same, except for Squidward, who, unlike previously where he was just walking along, dances his "interpretive dance". Once all the credits have finished rolling, Gary is seen still chasing Plankton on his Gary robot decoy as he screams even throughout the closing logos.]
