Cleaning Up the Puffy Mess

==Plot==
Since "A Pal for Gary" is one of the most despised episodes of SpongeBob SquarePants, I wrote a sequel episode to it, titled "Cleaning Up the Puffy Mess", taking place after the ending of the aformentioned episode, where Puffy Fluffy wreaks havoc in Bikini Bottom and SpongeBob is arrested for pet neglect. 
==Transcript==
(The Krusty Krab)
SpongeBob: Ah, this is more like it. From now on I'm taking you wherever I go. No more lonely days alone at home. (puts Gary down)
Mr. Krabs: (gasps) What's that filthy animal doing in me kitchen?
SpongeBob: (laughs) It's me, SpongeBob. I brought Gary along to help out. (puts a Krusty Krab uniform hat on Gary)
Mr. Krabs: Free... labor? Why didn't ya say so? (takes out a spatula) Serve em' up, snail! (hands Gary a spatula)
Gary: Meow...
Johnny Elaine: We interrupt this highly anticipated program to bring you breaking news. (Puffy Fluffy Monster causes mayhem in Bikini Bottom) A horrific creature is destroying everything in Bikini Bottom!
Fred: MY LEG!
Johnny Elaine: So much destruction...this reporter asks, "Why?" Local consensus places the blame on a seller of these exotic pets called "Nudibranchs".
Store owner: Well, it's not my fault. These pets can be very unstable. especially around other pets, and one of my customers, heck, MANY of my customers never listened to me. Here's a picture of the person that I've sold the most recent Nudibranch to. (shows a picture of SpongeBob to the news group)
Johnny Elaine: It looks like we found our culprit: his name is SpongeBob SquarePants!
Mr. Krabs: WHAT?! SpongeBob, is there something yer not telling me?
SpongeBob: I don't know what you're talking about, Mr. Krabs.
(two cops enter the Krusty Krab)
Officer Malley: There he is! (she and officer Slugfish run to SpongeBob; Malley puts handcuffs on SpongeBob)
SpongeBob: What's the meaning of this?!
Officer Slugfish: Mr. SquarePants, you are under arrest.
SpongeBob: For what?
Squidward: Well, for causing a monster to run amok Bikini Bottom and for animal cruelty!
Mr. Krabs: What do you mean by that, Squidward?
Squidward: Allow me to explain. (cue flashback; Squidward is playing on his clarinet; present Squidward narrates) I was practicing my clarinet when I heard some noise coming from SpongeBob's home. (looks out the window; Puffy Fluffy runs roaring and crying, and destroys Patrick's rock house) That thing went on a rampage, starting with destroying Patrick's house!
Flashback Patrick: HEY!
Squidward: (narrating) And then I noticed SpongeBob scolding Gary.
Flashback SpongeBob: Well, Gary, what do you have to say for yourself?
Squidward: (narrating) That's when I had the urge to call the cops. (picks up a phone and dials on it; end flashback)
SpongeBob: You snitched on me?
Squidward: I'm sorry SpongeBob, but I was doing this for your own good. I did what I had to do.
Mr. Krabs: Well, SpongeBob, Squidward has a good point. I may be greedy, and sometimes mean, but even I wouldn't treat my pets like that and buy those Nudiwhatsits.
Officer Slugfish: We're confiscating your pet too! (picks Gary up and puts him in a pet cage)
Gary: Meow?
SpongeBob: But who's gonna look after him?
Officer Malley: Don't worry, we'll look after Gary. I can assure you that we know how to look after pet snails.
Mr. Krabs: If me best cook is not around, then who's gonna cook up me food and protect the Krabby Patty secret formula?
Sandy: (offscreen) I will! (enters the Krusty Krab)
SpongeBob: Sandy?
Sandy: Don't you remember? We actually cooked Krabby Patties together once after Mr. Krabs offered me a job.
SpongeBob: Yeah, I remember that.
Sandy: (takes SpongeBob's hat) I'll take your hat. And SpongeBob, good luck.
(the cops drag SpongeBob away from the Krusty Krab while Sandy is heard karate chopping food; bubble transition to Bikini Bottom Jail)
SpongeBob: (sighs) What have I done? I've not only scolded the snail who saved my life, but I've also unintentionally set free a monster to destroy Bikini Bottom! Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy couldn't possibly fight Puffy Fluffy off, he'll eat them both! I wonder how Gary's doing?
(cut to officers Malley, Slugfish and Johnson feeding Gary with Snailpo. Johnson tastes some Snailpo, then gags)
Officer Johnson: I can see why snails like Snailpo.
Gary: Meow.
Officer Slugfish: Your owner said it was the worst thing he ever tasted? In my opinion, I think the Chum Bucket food is worse.
Gary: Meow.
(cut back to SpongeBob's cell. Patrick and Sandy approach SpongeBob's cell)
Patrick: Hi, SpongeBob!
SpongeBob: Hey, Patrick.
Patrick: What are you doing in the slammer?
SpongeBob: I got arrested for unleashing Puffy Fluffy to cause mayhem in Bikini Bottom and for neglectful behavior towards Gary!
Patrick: You mean that thing that destroyed my house earlier today was the green thing you set free?!
SpongeBob: Yes. I'm sorry, Patrick, I was an idiot at that time, and now I realized my mistake. If only there was some way to rectify it...
Sandy: I know it sounds bad, SpongeBob. We need to do something about this.
Patrick: Yeah, like pushing Bikini Bottom somewhere else!
Sandy: Last time you tried that, that Alaskan Bull Worm destroyed it.
Patrick: Oh, right. Nevermind.
SpongeBob: And Sandy, aren't you supposed to be back at the Krusty Krab?
Sandy: Yeah, but Mr. Krabs fired me after I've made a mess in there.
(cut to the inside of the Krusty Krab, with ketchup and mustard stains and food splattered all over the place)
Mr. Krabs: This is gonna take forever to clean up!
(Cut back to Bikini Bottom Jail)
Sandy: Note to self - never use karate when cooking.
Officer Malley: Alright, visiting time's over. (Sandy and Patrick leave)
Officer Slugfish: It's judgement time.
(bubble transition to Downtown Bikini Bottom; SpongeBob is being trialed in front of the citizens)
Officer Slugfish: As we all know, Puffy Fluffy is causing havok all over Bikini Bottom, and attacked everything, from the Jellyfish Fields to the Goo Lagoon and even the Chum Bucket!
Plankton: How am I supposed to compete with Krabs if I have no business?
Karen: You can start by reassembling your restaurant.
Plankton: Who asked you, Karen?
Officer Slugfish: Bring out the wheel of punishment!
(the other officers bring out the wheel of punishment near SpongeBob)
Patrick: What?!
Officer Malley: The accused will now spin the wheel of punishment to determine his sentence.
SpongeBob: Alright, time to face justice. (spins the wheel. The camera pans down the amphitheater.)
Plankton: Send him to work for me!
Mr. Krabs: NEVER!
Fred: Send him to Rock Bottom!
Sandy: Community service! Please stop on community service!
(Sandy and Patrick look very worried as the wheel starts to slow down. It passes by "1 month doing time" and "Pay damages with Mr. Krabs' money". SpongeBob anxiously awaits his punishment. The wheel comes to a halt.)
Officer Johnson: Looks like it's spending 2 weeks in Rock Bottom.
(Patrick, Sandy and Mr. Krabs gasp; the other citizens cheer. Suddenly, Puffy Fluffy attacks the citizens, who then flee.)
Fred: MY LEG!
Patrick: Do something, SpongeBob!
SpongeBob: (deadpan) Gee, I'd love to help, but I'm supposed to be spending my sentence in Rock Bottom right now.
(Officer Malley tips the wheel one slot further. It now rests on "Community Service".)
Officer Malley: There, community service! Now serve our community and get rid of that thing!
SpongeBob: With pleasure.
Sandy: I'll help you out. (grabs Gary) Come on, Gary, let's kick Puffy Fluffy's butt!
Gary: Meow.
(Sandy and Gary use lassos, while SpongeBob corners Puffy Fluffy)
SpongeBob: I should've done this since the moment you turned into a monster!
(Sandy and Gary hit Puffy Fluffy with their lassos, and Sandy uses her lasso and puts it through Puffy Fluffy's four long tongues and pulls on' em really tight. Suddenly Patrick comes in with a sword, gives it to SpongeBob)
SpongeBob: Where'd you get that sword?
Patrick: Trust me, don't ask.
(SpongeBob yells, jumps and stabs Puffy Fluffy; killing it)
SpongeBob: The beast has been slayed.
(The citizens cheer; the Nudibranch store owner approaches SpongeBob)
SpongeBob: It's you? Oh, I'm very sorry about this, I'll never buy a pet from you ever again!
Store owner: It's okay. I forgive you. In fact, I should thank you for slaying this Nudibranch creature.
SpongeBob: Why?
Store owner: Because apart from acting unnatural with other animals around, Nudibranchs make some good, tasty meat, especially when they turn into monsters.
Mr. Krabs: Really? (his eyes turn to dollar signs) That gives me an idea!
(bubble transition to Krusty Krab, SpongeBob is cooking purple colored patties on a grill, everyone minus Mr. Krabs, Squidward and SpongeBob eats Puffy Fluffy Patties)
Mr. Krabs: Get yer limited edition Puffy Fluffy Patties before they're taken off the menu!
Officer Malley: That lady was right, Nudibranchs do make good meat!
Officer Slugfish: I can't disagree there. But what if we turn into monsters like those things do around other animals?
Officer Johnson: Don't worry, I'm sure that won't happen.
(All the officers laugh)
Squidward: SpongeBob, isn't there something you'd like to say to Gary?
SpongeBob: Yes, there is, Squidward.
Gary: Meow.
SpongeBob: I'm terribly sorry for what happened when Puffy Fluffy came into your home, Gary. I was a big barnaclehead.
(Gary hisses)
SpongeBob: I know, I know, bringing in Puffy Fluffy was a bad idea. Tell you what, I'll never buy those Nudibranch creatures again.
Gary: Meow?
SpongeBob: And I'll allow you to have fun alone at home while I'm gone.
Gary: Meow.
SpongeBob: Agreed. Let's never speak of that ever again. Here you go, enjoy this Puffy Fluffy Patty!
(SpongeBob gives Gary a Puffy Fluffy Patty. Gary takes a bite out of it and burps, smiling)
