'I QUIT.'
Spongebob sighed putting the last of his items in what had to be the 10th box.
His parents would be by tomorrow to pick him up.
It was weird to be leaving Bikini bottom. But when your so called friends and employees and pretty much the whole town turned on you.
It changed your mindset.
A soft knocking prompted spongebob to jolt out of his thoughts, looking at the window his lips twitched at the familiar face who had been the only one on his side.
"Plankton". Spongebob greeted opening the window closing it after. "What are you doing here?".
"I heard screaming earlier today. Come to find out you quit". Plankton cleared his throat. "Wanted to make sure you were ok".
"Thanks Plankton". Spongebob's smile tired. "I'm doing as well as can be expected given the circumstances".
"You didn't waste anytime packing".
"Well when your friends go to sacrifice you for a sandwich". Spongebob shrugged.
"I never thought I would hear you out of all people use the term for a sandwich with the krabby patty".
"This whole adventure has put things into perspective for me. The last several years I have worked for a boss who I thought cared about me. Someone who I looked at as a father figure. But not only did he not listen when I told him you didn't take the formula. But he and everyone else went as far as trying to sacrifice me for it. Maybe my krabby patty being gone. Will show the town just how much they changed because of it".
"Wow that's deep".
"So what about you?". SpongeBob sat on his chair. "Any luck with karen?".
"I gave her parts to sandy. Unfortunately I don't have the equipment to even remotely try to bring her back together and to be honest I think she'd be better off with sandy. They got close. Truth is they harboured feelings for each other".
"Well that's new". Spongebob blinked. "But honestly not surprising".
"I honestly don't know what I am going to do now. With the krabby Patty's fate unknown. And Karen gone.". Plankton trailed off.
Spongebob gazed at Plankton whose features looked exhausted. This was a every day thing for him wasn't it?
It has been so hard to accept that his friends, employees, his boss had turned on him like this.
But this was a everyday thing for Plankton.
"Come with me". Spongebob blurted out.
"Come with me. I will be bringing my home. Starting a new life in my parents hometown. It's small more country". The Sponge shrugged. "But there are a lot nicer people there. You talked about at one point having a flower shop. You could do well in a town like this.
"You really think we'd do well living together?".
"We've been through the apocalypse". Spongebob grinned. "I think living together would be a cake walk. Sides i think some of the folks there would appreciate your inventions".
The air was silent.
"You don't have to of course". Spongebob's voice soft. "I know it's a lot of change. You made me feel safe, protected. I don't want to be without you in my life".
Plankton's eye softened jumping onto spongebob's arm, pressing into his face.
"Count me in. I don't want to be without you either kid."
Plankton jumped off the Sponge before leaping onto the windowsill pulling a few suitcases out that had been hidden.
"I had hoped you would invite me".
Laughing quietly Spongebob offered a hand to Plankton who hopped onto it.
"Guess where doing this then". His eyes shining ever so little.
"We are a te am". Plankton grinned. "A team".
"A team". Spongebob agreed.
Pressing their heads together they enjoyed the quietness before
"C'mon we got a lot to do tomorrow we should get some rest".
"Stay the night?".
"Well given we leave tomorrow that makes the most sense". Plankton shrugged. "Sides". His lips twitched. "I wouldn't leave you alone tonight even if I wasn't coming".
"Thanks Plankton". Grinning sleepily spongebob took his new roommate to his room, but not before brushing his teeth.
Flopping into bed SpongeBob nuzzled into his pillow.
His eyes fluttered open when he felt somthing press into him.
"Get some rest kid". Plankton rubbed the Sponges head who let out a sleepy sound. "We have a long day tomorrow".
Eyes fluttering shut spongebob snored softly, exhaustion finally winning over.
A rare genuine smile crossed Plankton's face gazing up at the moon shining through the window.
A new start
A new life.
