(Scene cuts to Charlie and Clayton walking down the street with another blue fish)
Charlie: "Welcome to the neighborhood, Nathaniel! I’m sure you’ll love it here once you get to know everyone on the block." Tina-Fran and Sally walk past them.
Tina: "Hi Charlie."
Charlie: "Hey Tina! Nathaniel, this is my beautiful girlfriend, Tina. Nathaniel just moved into our neighborhood." Tina waves at Nathaniel.
Tina: "Nice to meet you! This is my friend, Sally." Sally waves hello.
Nathaniel: "Nice to meet you too!"
Clayton: "Hey Sally, would you like to go to the Krusty Krab with me sometime?"
Sally: "Eat sand, dirtbag." Sally and Tina walk away.
Clayton: "Ah, still got it."
Nathaniel: "Wow Charlie, your girlfriend's really pretty. I wish I could find a woman like that."
Charlie: "Yeah, she really is. But don’t worry about that Nathaniel, there are plenty of single women in this neighborhood! You just have to meet them!"
(Scene cuts to Nat walking out of his house) Nat walks past Martha Smith who is gardening on her lawn. Martha looks up and see Nat walking past her.
Martha: "Good Morning, Nat!"
Nat: "Good Morning, Martha!" Nat walks down his walkway and onto the street. Nat walks towards Tina and Sally.
Nat: "Hi Tina! Hi Sally!"
Sally and Tina: "Hiiii Nat!"
Nat: "Good luck with your knew experiments, Sally! Hopefully someday you'll be able to invent a machine that'll make my shorts a different color! Sometimes I get a little tired of only wearing purple shorts." Tina and Sally giggle.
Tina: "He's so funny!"
Sally: "And handsome!" Nat continues walking towards Charlie, Clayton and Nathaniel.
Nathaniel: "Who's that guy?"
Charlie: "That's Nat Peterson."
Nathaniel: "Doesn't it bother you that your girlfriend was just flirting with him?"
Charlie: "Not at all! Every woman in the neighborhood acts like that around Nat, well except maybe Mabel. They just can't get enough of him!"
Clayton: "Yeah, and he's married to the prettiest woman in Bikini Bottom so we have nothing to worry about."
Charlie: "Are you saying that Tina isn't the prettiest girl in Bikini Bottom?!" Clayton gets nervous and looks at his watch.
Charlie: "Well would you look at the time! I have to get my, uh, beauty sleep! Have fun meeting everyone in the neighborhood, Nathaniel!" Clayton runs away. Nat walks up to Charlie and Nathaniel.
Nat: "Hey Charlie!"
Charlie: "Hey Nat! This is my good friend, Nathaniel! He just moved into the neighborhood." Nat and Nathaniel shake hands.
Nat: "Nice to meet you! My name‘s Nathaniel too but my friends call me Nat."
Nathaniel: "Nat."
Nat: "Yep, that’s my name! I live at the house between Evelyn's and the Smiths' with my lovely wife Shubie and our two kids. Feel free to stop by anytime, we'd love to get to know you more. Well I'd better finish my power walk, don't want to be late for work! See you guys later!"
Charlie: "See ya, Nat!" Nat turns around a walks away. Nat walks past Nancy and Nazz who is pushing a baby stroller.
Nat: "Hi Nancy! Hi Nazz! Hello, Nazz's baby! Isn't she just the cutest thing!" Nat continues walking.
Nazz: "Ah, he's so good around children. Someone ought to make him father of the year."
Nancy: "I know right! Sometimes I wish that Isabel would have a father figure like Nat instead of the deadbeat that Tom is. Maybe then she'd get into Whale." Nat walks past Sadie Rechid who is putting a trash bag in her garbage can.
Nat: "Good morning, Sadie!" Sadie looks up.
Sadie: "Nat!" Sadie trips over her garbage can and falls inside. Sadie pokes her head out of the garbage can.
Sadie: "See you at work, gorgeous! Ah, I could sit in this garbage can all day watching that man." Nathaniel smirks.
Nathaniel: "Tell me more about this Nat guy."
(Scene cuts to Nat and Sadie working at Sadie's cookies) Sadie looks at her watch.
Sadie: "It's almost one. You wanna take a lunch break, Nat? I heard there's a new deli store that just opened up in the mall. You wanna try it out?"
Nat: "Sure!" Sadie and Nat walk out of Sadie's Cookies and sees a large crowd gathered outside.
Sadie: "What the barnacles is going on over here? Do people really want to eat Martha's pickles that badly?" Martha walks up to her and Nat.
Martha: "This isn't for my store I haven't had any customers all day. This crowd is for the shop next to yours. I think they're putting up a new desert place here."
Sadie: "A new desert place?! Well good luck competing with Sadie's Cookies! Let’s see what all this commotion is about." Sadie and Nat work their way through the crowd to the front of the store. 
Sadie: "Is that Debbie?!" Debbie notices her and Nat in the front of the crowd. 
Debbie: "Oh hi, stepmom!"
Sadie: "What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be in high school right now?"
Debbie: "Yeah but I'm just about to open my new store! It’s called Debbie's Deserts!"
Sadie: "This is your store? How are you going to run a whole desert store all by yourself?" 
Debbie: "Oh, I'm not running it all by myself. Nathaniel's helping me run it. It was all his idea actually." Nathaniel walks up next to Debbie.
Nathaniel: "Oh hey Nat! Nice to see you again!"
Nat: "Hey Nathaniel! You like baking deserts too? I didn't know that!"
Nathaniel: "Of course I do! Who doesn’t?" Nat laughs.
Nat: "You got me there!"
Sadie: "Okay, but I still don't understand how Debbie’s not in school right now! Did you skip?"
Debbie: "No I went to school this morning. But then in science class Nathaniel came into the room and asked me if I wanted to open up a desert store with him and who could say no to this gorgeous face? At first my teacher got mad and wouldn't let me leave but she pretty soon she changed her mind because she couldn't resist his charm either! So then we went to mall and having been working on the store ever since!"
Sadie: "Oh okay, if your teacher gave you permission then I guess it's okay. Well, me and Nat are off to go get some lunch." Nat and Sadie turn around and walk away.
Debbie: "So after the grand opening of our store would you like to get some lunch, Nathaniel? I heard there's a new deli store that just opened up in the mall."
Nathaniel: "Sure!"
Sadie: "That's a bit odd. Can you believe that Debbie and Nathaniel are creating their own desert store though? Good luck with that! There's no way they'll be able to compete with ours. Although, Nathaniel does look rather dashing without any clothes on."
(Scene cuts to Nat and Sadie standing at the counter of Sadie's Cookies) Sadie looks at her watch. 
Sadie: "Well it's closing time and we haven't gotten a single customer since Debbie's Deserts opened. I never thought that our loyal customers would abandon ship so quickly to try out some new place. But enough about that, what are you doing tonight, Nat? Would you like to go to Fancy! with me? I was going to go with Fred but, um, he has to work overtime tonight."
Nat: "Sorry, Sadie, I can't. My bowling team has a very important came against the Anchovies tonight."
Sadie: "Oh okay, we can always go some other time. Or maybe I'll take a handsome blue fish with me instead." Sadie and Nat walk out of Sadie's Cookies. Sadie locks the front door and her and Nat walk past Debbie's Deserts towards the exit.
Nathaniel: "Here are your cookies, Tina! And here's your brownies, Sally!" Nathaniel hands Sally and Tina their deserts.
Tina and Sally: "Thanks, Nathaniel!"
Nathaniel: "Don't mention it! Say, Sally, you should really create an invention that stops people for getting tired 'cause I sure am tired from baking deserts all day!" Tina and Sally giggle.
Tina: "He's so funny!"
Sally: "And handsome!" Sally and Tina walk toward Nat and Sadie. Tina takes a bite from her cookie and Sally takes a bite of her brownie.
Tina: "You know, those two really can't cook."
Sally: "Yeah these brownies taste awful. I think there's a toenail in this one! But Nathaniel's just so charming that I keep wanting to buy more! I've already bought deserts from him three times today!" Tina and Sally walk past Nat and Sadie.
Nat: "That was odd."
Sadie: "I'll say. But don't worry I'm sure all of our customers will come crawling back by tomorrow. This is definitely just a fad. And then when their store closes down I can hire Nathaniel to work for Sadie's Cookies and then I'll have two gorgeous men working for me!" Nat looks at her confusedly.
Nat: "Uh, Sadie?"
Sadie: "See you tomorrow Nat!" Sadie runs out of the entrance to the mall, jumps in her boat and drives away.
(Scene cuts to Nat walking into the bowling alley)
Nat: "Hey guys! Who's ready to kick some anchovy butt tonight? I've been waiting all week for this game! I am so ready! So what's the order tonight?"
Frank: "Oh hey, Nat. If you don't you mind, um, we were planning on having you sit out this game."
Nat: "What? But we need to have four players! And I'm the best on the team!"
Frank: "Yeah I know but it's just... we kinda found this new guy..."
Nathaniel: "Hi Nat!"
Nat: "Nathaniel?!"
Nathaniel: "I never know you were an avid bowler Nat! This game is so much fun!"
Nat: "This is the guy you want to replace me with?" Frank, Fred and Tom nod their heads. Nat sighs.
Nat: "Okay, well if he's a better bowler than I guess I'll sit this game out. Anything for the team." Tom pats him on the back.
Tom: "We knew you'd understand, Nat."
Announcer: "And it looks like it's game time! Today's match will be between the Anchovies and the Bikini Bottom Bombers! Now let's get started! First up from the Anchovies, it's Mabel!" Mabel grabs a bowling ball and walks up to the lane. Mabel bowls a strike. Mabel laughs at the Strikers as she walks past.
Mabel: "Good luck beating that, boys. We're not losing to you again this year."
Frank: "Don't let them get to you, Nathaniel. You can do this!" Nathaniel grabs a ball and walks up to the lane.
Announcer: "And now bowling for the Bombers, it's Nathaniel Waters who is replacing Nat Peterson today." Nathaniel bowls and knocks down two pins.
Nat: "What?!"
Tom: "Way to go Nathaniel!"
Fred: "You'll get 'em next time!" Nathaniel bowls again and knocks down one pin.
Announcer: "And that's three pins for Nathaniel."
Nat: "Was he this bad before the game?"
Fred: "Oh yeah, he could barely hit five pins when we were practicing."
Tom: "But he just has so much confidence! We couldn't afford to let him sit out the game!"
(Scene cuts to the end of the game)
Announcer: "And the Anchovies win!"
Lenny: "Aha! Finally! You guys had won every single game against us, but that streak ends tonight! I finally beat you guys!"
Mabel: "Yeah, you guys really shouldn't have replaced Nat with that blue guy. Although I understand the decision, he just has some much charm and confidence it's impossible to bench someone like that." The Anchovies walk away.
Fred: "That was our first loss in five years."
Frank: "But it's okay, Nathaniel! You're still getting used to this game! You'll get them next time!"
Tom: "To our newest Bomber!" Frank, Fred and Tom walk away with Nathaniel, leaving Nat all by himself.
Nat: "Newest Bomber?"
(Scene cuts to Nat coming home from the bowling alley) Nat walks into his house.
Shubie: "Hi Nat, how was your bowling match today? I wish I could've stayed around and watched it after my game but my game got cancelled because the surfing team forfeited. Apparently they were too busy surfing at Goo Lagoon."
Nat: "We lost."
Shubie: "You lost?! Did Fred break his leg again and you didn't have enough players? You should've called me, Nat. I would've been more than happy to fill in."
Nat: "No, Fred is fine. I didn't play today."
Shubie: "Oh, did your opponent forfeit too?"
Nat: "No, we have a new player on our team now and the guys decided that he should play instead of me."
Shubie: "What?! But you're their best player! Why would they ever bench you?"
Nat: "Because they liked this guy's confidence. He wasn't even a good bowler we lost our first game in five years because of him!"
Shubie: "I'm sorry, Nat. That really stinks. They were morons for not letting you play. Why don't you come inside and eat? I just finished making dinner." Nat follows Shubie into the dining room and sits down at the table.
Nat: "There's something a little fishy about this new guy though. His name's Nathaniel, he just moved into the neighborhood a few days ago. It's weird, it's almost like he's copying my life. First he opened up a desert store right next to mine and now he's on my bowling team!"
Shubie: "Oh I'm sure it's just a coincidence, Nat. You're just upset about losing that game today. You'll feel better after you eat." Nat sighs. 
Nat: "Yeah, you're probably right Shubie." Nat begins to eat his dinner.
(Scene cuts to Nat and Shubie washing dishes after dinner)
Shubie: "Can you pass me that plate, Nat?"
Nat: "Sure." Nat passes her a plate and Shubie begins scrubbing it. Shubie looks out the window and sees some fish playing football in the street.
Shubie: "Are the guys starting a football game in the street?"
Nat: "Yeah it looks like it."
Shubie: "You should join them! There aren't that many dishes left to clean anyway."
Nat: "Okay! Thanks Shubie!" Nat runs out of his house and over to the guys playing the football game.
Nat: "Hey guys! Looks like you could use and all state running back on your team!"
Pilar: "Oh, sorry Nat, but Nathaniel's already our running back. He was on first team all state in his senior year of high school."
Nathaniel: "Yeah my team should've won the state championship that year but I broke my leg in the fourth quarter of that game so we lost."
Nat: "What?! But that's exactly what happened to me! Don't you guys think it's a little suspicious that me and Nathaniel have so much in common with each other?" 
Harold: "Not really. Injuries happen a lot in football.You can play on the other team though, Nat." Harold points at the other team which is made up of Tom, Fred, Scooter and Lenny. Nat sighs and walks over to the other team.
Pilar: "Everyone ready? Hike!" Charlie snaps Pilar the ball before knocking Lenny onto the ground.
Frank: "Hey! I'm open!" Pilar throws him the ball and he catches it. Frank jukes Fred our which causes Fred to snap his leg.
Fred: "MY LEG!" Frank runs in for a touchdown.
Nat: "It's okay guys, we'll answer back. Ready? Hike!" Lenny snaps Nat the ball. Nat sees that Scooter’s wide open and throws it to him. The ball hits Scooter in the face and lands on the ground.
Nat: "Scooter! Why didn't you catch that? You were wide open!"
Scooter: "Oh, I didn't know I was supposed to catch it." Nat slaps himself in the face.
Nat: "It's okay we'll get them on the next play. Hike!" Lenny snaps him the ball. Charlie bulldozes over Lenny and charges at Nat.
Tom: "I'm open!" Nat throws him the ball. Tom takes too more steps and stops running. Clayton intercepts the ball and scores a touchdown.
Tom (panting): "Sorry, Nat. I'm not as quick as I used to be." Nat sighs.
Nat: "Maybe you should play QB from now on." Lenny snaps Tom the ball and once again Charlie runs Lenny over. Tom panics as Charlie sprints towards him.
Nat: "I'm open! I'm open!" Tom throws him the ball and Nat catches it. Nat runs past Harold and Clayton and scores a touchdown.
Nat: "Nice, we scored! I told you we'd come back!" Nat throws the ball to Charlie.
Pilar: "Hike!" Charlie snaps Pilar the ball. Pilar throws the ball to Frankie-Billy and Frankie catches it. Fred tries to tackle Frankie but his other leg snaps.
Fred: "My other leg!" Frankie scores. Nat sighs.
Nat: "This is going to be a long game."
(Scene cuts to a montage of Nat and players on the other team scoring a bunch of touchdowns) Nat scores another touchdown.
Pilar: "That makes it 49 to 49. It’s getting dark now so this should be our last drive of the game. If we score a touchdown we win, or else it’s a tie. Hike!" Charlie snaps Pilar the ball. Pilar throws it to Harold but Nat swats it away so Harold can't catch it. On the next play, Pilar tries to throw the ball to Frank but Nat swats it away. Pilar then tries throwing it to Clayton but Nat again swats it away.
Pilar: "Okay, this is it. It's fourth down. What should we do? Nat's been blocking all my passes."
Frank: "We should give the ball to Nathaniel!"
Harold: "Yeah, he's our best player! All we have to do is hand him the ball and the game is ours!"
Pilar: "Okay, sounds like a plan."
Evelyn: "Go Nathaniel!"
Nathaniel: "Thanks Evelyn! Oh Nat, I forgot to tell you earlier, me and Evelyn have just started dating! Isn't it great that I'm dating your wife's sister? It's almost like we're the same person!"
Nat: "What?! Same person?!" Nat gets angry.
Tall Billy: "You got this Nathaniel!" Nathaniel runs over and gives Billy a high five!
Nathaniel: "Thanks Billy!" Nazz, who is pushing a baby story, and Nancy walk by.
Nancy: "He's so great with children. I wish Isabel had a father like him instead of a lazy slob like Tom."
Nazz: "Yeah, someone ought to make to make you father of the year, Nathaniel!"
Nathaniel: "No please, call me Nat."
Nat: "Father of the year? Nat?!" Nat becomes infuriated.
Pilar: "Set, hike!" Pilar tosses the ball to Nathaniel. Lenny runs over to tackle Nathaniel but Charlie runs up to block him. Charlie smirks.
Lenny: "I'm not gonna even bother." Lenny turns around and walks away. Scooter runs over to tackle Nathaniel. Charlie grabs Scooter and throws him away. Tom runs over to tackle Nathaniel, but starts wheezing and falls onto the ground. Fred tries to tackle Nathaniel but both of his legs snap.
Fred: "Not again!"
Nathaniel: "I'm doing it! I'm doing it! I'm actually going to score!"
Nat: "Grrrr..." Nat sprints are Nathaniel. Charlie tries to block Nat but Nat shoves him out of the way. Charlie stumbles and falls onto the ground. Nat pounces on Nathaniel and slams him onto the ground.
Nathaniel: "Ow! My arm!" Evelyn runs over to Nathaniel.
Evelyn: "Nathaniel! Oh no, are you okay? We need to get you to a hospital!"
Harold: "Way too take this game way too seriously, Nat."
Nat: "What?! I wasn't trying to hurt him, I swear!"
Tom: "Yeah right. Nice job, jerk." Everyone walks away from Nat. Evelyn lifts Nathaniel up. Evelyn looks back at Nat.
Evelyn: "I don't know how my sister ever fell in love with a monster like you. Come on, Nathaniel, I'll drive you to the hospital." Evelyn carries Nathaniel away. Nat walks back to his house. Nat opens the front door and walks inside.
Shubie: "How was the game, Nat?"
Nat: "Not too good."
Shubie: "Oh, did your team lose?"
Nat: "No, technically we tied. It's just that guy Nathaniel seems to be copying everything about me. First he claimed that his was the star running back at his high school. He even tried to say that his team would’ve won the state championship if he hadn’t gotten injured in the fourth quarter of the state championship game! And now he wants to be called Nat! And he’s even dating Evelyn, my wife’s sister!"
Shubie: "He's dating Evelyn? Evelyn has a boyfriend? Nat, that is wonderful news!"
Nat: "What? No it's not, he's just dating her so he can be more like me."
Shubie: "Nat, do you remember Evelyn's recent boyfriends? First it was Harold and only Neptune knows how many times those two have supposedly 'dated'. Then there was that time she almost married Frank even though he was already married to Nancy! And do you remember her last boyfriend, the one who's now in prison? She made me visit him in jail and tell him that she didn't want to be with him anymore! Even if you think that this guy is only dating her to be more like you, this is certainly a step in the right direction for her! Let's go over to her house and congratulate her!"
Nat: "Oh, she's not home. She's at the hospital right now."
Shubie: "What?! What happened to my sister? Is she going to be okay?"
Nat: "No she's fine. She's there right now because I kinda hurt Nathaniel’s arm in our football game."
Shubie: "You what?!"
Nat: "I don't know, I was just so angry at him for acting like me that I guess I hit him a little too hard and he fell on his arm funny."
Shubie: "Nat! That isn't like you at all! You have to go to the hospital and apologize."
Nat: "Oh come on, Shubie..."
Shubie: "Nathaniel T. Peterson! You hurt my sister's boyfriend! You could've broken the arm of your future brother-in-law! We're going to the hospital this instant so you can apologize!" Nat sighs.
(Scene cuts to Nat and Shubie walking into the entrance of the hospital) Shubie and Nat walk up to the front desk.
Jennifer-Millie: "Shubie! Nat! So nice to see you two again! I see that Nat's sun burn is all better now."
Shubie: "Yes, that lotion you gave me really did the trick!"
Jennifer-Millie: "I'm glad. So what brings you two to the hospital today? Is another baby on the way?"
Shubie: "Oh, no. We were just looking to see Nathaniel."
Jennifer-Millie: "Oh, Mr. Waters? He's right down this hall, three doors to the left. That handsome patient hurt his arm pretty badly, it was bending in the wrong direction when he came in." Nat gulps. Nat and Shubie walk down the hallway and see Evelyn standing outside the door of Nat’s room.
Shubie: "Oh Evelyn, we came as soon as we heard the news! I'm so sorry about what happened." Shubie and Evelyn hug. Evelyn glares at Nat.
Evelyn: "What is he doing here? Your awful husband is the one who got Nathaniel in the condition he's in now."
Shubie: "I know and he feels really guilty about what happened so he came here to apologize. Why don't we go over there and talk for a bit? I think our men should have a little time alone to sort things out." Shubie and Evelyn walk away. Nat walks into Nathaniel's room and sees him lying in a bed with a cast around his arm.
Nathaniel: "Hey, Nat."
Nat: "Hey, Nathaniel."
Nathaniel: "No please, call me Nat."
Nat: "Okay. I’m really sorry about what happened in the game today, Nat. I let my emotions get the best of me and I shouldn't have tackled you as hard as I did.
Nathaniel: "It's okay, the doctor said that lucky it’s only a sprain so I'll be all better soon."
Nat: "Oh okay, that's good. I was really worried that you broke it when you fell down. It's really good that Evelyn took you to the hospital right away."
Nathaniel: "Yeah I'm really lucky to have her, she's like my own version of Shubie. It's actually a really funny story how we met. After work today, I decided to go play basketball in the park because I just love playing basketball. I scored over a thousand points in high school back in the day." Nat raises his eyebrow.
Nat: "Oh, really? So did I."
Nathaniel: "You did? I, uh, never would've guessed. So anyway, there was a game going on at the court so I asked to join and they let me. Evelyn happened to be playing for the other team and she guarded me and when I got the ball I tried going around her but I accidentally elbowed her in the face! I felt so bad that I ran over and got her an icepack. Then we just kept talking while I helped her with her injury and, you know what they say, the rest is history!"
Nat: "What?! That's exactly how me and Shubie met! Why are you trying to copy my entire life?!" Shubie and Evelyn walk into the room.
Shubie: "So have you two made up yet?"
Nat: "He's trying to copy my entire life! He said that him and Evelyn met and fell in love when he accidentally elbowed her in a basketball game! That's how me and you fell in love, Shubie!"
Evelyn: "What?! I haven't played basketball since high school! We met when he came to my house this afternoon and asked me to go out with him! Does our relationship mean nothing to you?" Evelyn storms out of the room.
Shubie: "Wait, you fell in love with someone after he came to your door and asked you to go out with him? Well that doesn't matter, why have you been copying Nat, Nathaniel?"
Nathaniel: "Uh, coincidence?"
Shubie: "Oh no, you're not fooling me! I know for a fact that you've been copying everything about Nat's life since you moved into this neighborhood. Nat told me everything and I'm sorry that I didn't listen to him sooner. Spill it, Nathaniel." Nathaniel sighs.
Nathaniel: "I don't know, I was just worried that no one would like me so I tried to be more like Nat because everyone loves him. He has so many friends and every woman in Bikini Bottom can't resist him. I, on the other hand, have hardly any friends and no girls are ever interested in me. I thought that maybe that would change if I acted more like Nat and it did. Now everyone in the neighborhood wants to be my friend and every woman wants to be with me, even some of the ones who are married. But I know that what I did was wrong so I'm sorry for copying you Nat, I just didn’t know what else to do."
Nat: "It's okay, Nathaniel. I was also wrong for getting so jealous and hurting you. You don't have to copy other people's behavior to make friends, there will always be people who like you for who you are. And even if those people aren't a lot, it's much better to have a few close friends than it is to have a ton of friends that you barely know anything about." Nathaniel smiles.
Nathaniel: "You're right, Nat. Thanks for the advice."
(Scene cuts to Nathaniel returning from the hospital)
Sally: "Hey look everyone! Nathaniel's back!" Everyone runs over to Nathaniel.
Nathaniel: "I have an announcement to make. I’m not the fish you all think I am. Truth is, I'm not good at baking deserts, or bowling, and I was never that good at baseball, basketball or football in high school. I don't deserve to be named father of the year and I think we're taking things too fast, Evelyn. I don't even really go by Nat either. I've just been copying Nat this entire time because I thought that since you like him so much you'd like me too. And while that worked for a while, I know now that that's no way to live. So from now on I will always be my awkward, insecure and unathletic self because I know that’s alway better to be who I really am then to be someone I'm not." Fred pretends to cough.
Fred: "Loser!" The crowd starts laughing.
Nat: "Hey, stop! You shouldn't laugh at Nathaniel for being himself! It takes a lot of guts to admit the things he just did and I’m sure that a lot of you wouldn't be able to do the same if you were in his position. It's great that Nathaniel accepts who he is and acts like himself because authenticity is one of the most important things in a world filled with fake fish."
Tina: "Yeah, it's not like any of us is perfect either."
Sadie: "Except Nat! I mean, Fred! Yep, that's definitely what I meant to say!" The crowd gives Nathaniel a group hug.
Frankie-Billy: "It's good to see that your finally being yourself, Nathaniel. This community will always accept you for who you are, no matter what."
Shubie: "Well said Frankie!"
Nathaniel: "Yeah maybe I should copy Frankie next. Nah! I'm just kidding!" Nazz laughs.
Nazz: "You wouldn't have stood a chance with my sister anyway!"
Sadie: "Depends which one!" Everyone laughs. The screen fades to black.
Fred: "Wait, what?!"
