Blood Moon is the twenty-fourth episode and the sixth episode of Season Two in Welcome to Fancyland!. It was written by FireMatch.
==Plot==
After a blood moon, Squidward starts noticing that the days are now going in reverse instead of forwards. Eventually, he ends up back in the Krusty Krab and tries everything he can to get back to the present.
==Synopsis==
Squidward is just getting home from yet another shift at the Krusty Krab. He takes off his work hat, drops it on the floor, and sighs.
“Yet another misery filled day at the Rusty Krab,” he says to himself.
Squidward walks up to his bedroom, sighs again, and gets comfy in bed. He turns on the flat screen TV up on the wall.
“Maybe a little late-night television is what I need to cheer myself up,” he says.
The TV is on the news channel, and Perch Perkins is speaking.
“Breaking news! The world’s first blood moon in 27 years is happening tonight, and everyone is freaking the heck out because this time it lands on Halloween.”
“Pfft, what does it being on Halloween matter any?” Squidward says.
“Some have said that weird things will happen tonight when the blood moon rises. What kinds of things, we don’t know… yet.”
Squidward turns off the TV and tucks himself into bed.
“That’s enough TV for tonight. Geez, the one time the news is political it’s another natural disaster.”
Squidward closes his eyes and falls asleep. When he wakes up, he looks at his phone to see that it’s October 30.
“October 30?! But that’s supposed to be yesterday- or uh two days ago!” he exclaims. “Am I having a nightmare?”
He notices that the time on his phone is also going backwards. It goes from 8:07 AM to 3:07 AM.
“Oh no, 3 AM! Everyone knows what can happen at 3 AM!”
Squidward looks out the window to see the sun rising in reverse.
“Ah, a reverse sunset. I’d enjoy this a lot more if time wasn’t going BACKWARDS!”
He runs outside to see anything else weird going on. SpongeBob and Patrick are playing a board game normally.
“At least those boneheads aren’t in reverse. I’d be going insane,” Squidward says.
“Oh hey, Squidward. Why is my watch going backwards in time?” SpongeBob asks.
“Something something red moon,” Patrick says.
“Oh good, so it isn’t just me,” Squidward says.
“It’s weird time travelling. It’s like a time machine, without the machine!” SpongeBob says.
“Yeah, fun,” Squidward says sarcastically. “Now how about we get it to move forwards again?”
“The moon kinda scares me,” Patrick says. “It’s all red and… red.
“You really need to work on your adjectives,” Squidward remarks.
“Shut up, you… uh… okay good point.”
“Uh, guys?” SpongeBob says. Everyone looks around to see that they aren’t in Fancyland anymore.
“What happened?” Squidward asks. He checks his phone, and sees that it’s now a regular cell phone. “My luxury!”
“And look, we’re in the Krusty Krab!” SpongeBob says.
“You better quit your blabberin’ and get to work, boys,” Krabs says from his office.
“I’m not even supposed to be here, you crustaceous cheapskate!” Squidward yells.
“Don't back sass me, boy!”
Squidward grumbles.
“We need to find a way to get back to the present, otherwise-” SpongeBob is cut off by another time change. This time they're at Kamp Koral.
“I'm sorry what?” Squidward says. “I haven't been here since I had to wear glasses. I still have no idea why I had to.”
“This is where continuity goes to die,” SpongeBob says. “And also it's where I met Sandy.”
“I thought you met Sandy later,” Patrick says.
“I honestly have no idea,” SpongeBob says, scratching his head.
“Guys, think!” Squidward urges. “There has to be a way to bring time back forward.”
“Well how is time going backwards in the first place?” SpongeBob asks.
“The blood moon, duh,” Squidward says.
“Oh right. Well then, would a water sun bring time forwards?”
“A water su- have you lost your marbles? A water sun is physically impossible!”
A young Mrs. Puff comes to greet the time travelers.
“Welcome to Kamp Koral! Enjoy your stay!” she says.
“We- but I- never mind,” Squidward stammers.
“Need assistance with zee time, eh?” a familiar voice says.
“Zee French Scientist?” Squidward asks.
“I see I'm not zee only one noticing zis. My lab disappeared and I think I misplaced my lab coat. Come with me.”
“Uh, okay…”
Squidward follows ZFS to a broken down shack, which is apparently the lab.
“I can see your budget wasn't as good back then.”
“Oui. The past isn't always a good zing, you know.”
“Yeah. Now how about forwarding time so we can go back to normal?”
“It won't be easy, Mr. Tentacles. First, I need the needle of a pufferfish.”
Squidward looks unamused. “How convenient.” He exits the lab and approaches Mrs. Puff, and quickly plucks a needle off of her.
“YOWIEEEE!” she yelps.
Cut back to the shack.
“Yes, yes. This should work,” ZFS says.
“That's all I needed? If I remember correctly you said ‘first’,” Squidward says.
“Oh right. I also need an octopus’ tear.”
“You mean I have to cry?”
“Indeed you do. This'll only pinch a little.”
ZFS quickly drops a bowling ball on Squidward’s feet, making him yelp.
“You did NOT need to do that,” Squidward says, shedding a tear. ZFS collects the tear with a funnel, and a machine activates.
“Is that the key to getting home?” Squidward asks.
“Uhh I believe it works,” ZFS says nervously. He kicks the machine, and it starts working. However, it stops working a few seconds after.
“What's wrong with it?” Squidward asks.
“I think I still need a few more ingredients.” ZFS checks his pockets and pulls out a list. “Aha! I finally found the full list! Let's see here: an octopus tentacle, an octopus heart, and an octopus nose.”
Squidward looks pale.
“Mr. Tentacles?”
Squidward bolts out of the shack and runs away in fright. He bumps into SpongeBob and Patrick, oblivious.
“What are you so scared about, Squidward?” SpongeBob asks.
“Zee French Scientist…”
A shadowy figure pops up behind them. It turns out to be… the Hash Slinging Slasher.
“T-T-The HASH SLINGING SLASHER!” all three of them scream at once.
“Wait a second! Isn't he an octopus?” Squidward says.
The three of them look at one another.
Cut to ZFS putting the three ingredients into the machine, and the machine fully functions, bringing everyone back to their normal time period.
“And that's how your grandfather saved the world,” Squidward says to himself.
“Squidward, I think you're going insane, SpongeBob says.
“Woo, grandpa, you go old man!” Squidward says. “Woop woop woop!”
“Yep he's going insane.”
(The end?)
