Zee Surface

Zee Surface is the twentieth episode and the second episode of Season Two in Welcome to Fancyland!. It was written by FireMatch.
==Plot==
Zee French Scientist is desperate for a new breakthrough in the field of science, but then a freak accident gives him an idea. However, another freak accident causes him to be stuck above the surface. 
==Synopsis==
Zee French Scientist is mixing chemicals in his secret lab. They explode all over him, corroding his lab suit.
“My only lab suit!” he exclaims. “Just joking, I have another pair in my closet.”
Transition to Zee French Scientist attempting to build a giant robot.
“Oh, who am I kidding? Zis robot is too generic.” He kicks the robot over with his foot, making all the parts tumble down to the ground. “I could use zis to make a new frying pan.”
Zee French Scientist is now creating a new species.
“Once I combine zese animals with my handy-dandy fusing machine, I will make my newest breakthrough!”
He pulls a huge lever, which causes the two animals in their chambers (a sea lion and a sea chicken) to fuse together into a single creature.
“Behold: Ze Sea Chion!” he declares. “Okay maybe I should’ve come up with zee better name. But who cares? It is a new creature!”
The “sea chion” comes out of its chamber and roars at Zee French Scientist.
“Sorry I gave you such a bad name!” ZFS screams before hiding under a table. The creature finds him under the table, and a cartoony chase scene plays over kooky music. Eventually ZFS hides in the bathroom and the chase scene ends.
“Phew, good thing zis thing is bulletproof,” ZFS says. “I needed to use zee bathroom anyway.”
ZFS is about to finish up washing his hands when he feels the ground shake.
“Okay, that’s normal, it’s fine, totally normal,” ZFS tells himself as the ground shakes harder and harder. He hears his glass beakers shatter onto the ground. “MY BEAKERS!”
He quickly bolts out of the bathroom, forgetting about the creature, and sees that half of his beakers left sitting on the table on the ground, broken.
“Zey were like my children…”
ZFS plays Taps on his phone as he picks up the broken glass pieces off the floor and into the trash. Then, the creature appears out of the trash bin and swallows ZFS whole.
“Well isn’t zis nice,” ZFS remarks. “Time to play zee waiting game.”
One long digestive tract later…
ZFS is covered in slimy goo as he is free again.
“What is zis stuff?” He sniffs the goo and is revolted, but inspired. “I think I know what zis is! My latest breakthrough! Seriously, zoh, I have no idea what zis is.”
The sea chion then runs out of the secret lab, leaving a gaping hole in the wall.
“I’ll have to patch zat up later,” ZFS says to himself.
Cut to ZFS putting a couple drops of chemicals into the mysterious goo.
“Yes, yes, it’s all coming together now!” he says. “It’s gonna be revolutionary! A breakthrough! A… I should really think of more words before saying stuff like zis!”
Cut to back in Bikini Bottom, where Sandy is doing welding in her treedome. She takes off her welding gear and sighs.
“This isn’t doing me any good,” she says. “I still need new ideas before the big scientist convention tomorrow. And I’m still stumped.”
Sandy lays on her picnic bench and sighs. “Can’t be any worse than whatever that French scientist has cooking up in his ‘lab’...”
Cut back to Zee French Scientist’s lab, where he is putting the finishing touches on his newest invention.
“Time to unveil my latest invention… zee sliming machine!” ZFS says confidently. “Maybe I should’ve come up with a better name. Oh well, the convention is tomorrow.”
ZFS sits in the leather seat in his “sliming machine”, and starts the engine.
“If my calculations are correct, the slime should be strong enough to hold itself up in the air with zis boat engine.”
The machine propels itself up into the air, causing another gaping hole in the lab’s wall.
“I’ll patch that one up later as well.”
The machine carries ZFS far into the air, and eventually near the surface.
“No! NO! Not zee surface!” ZFS yells.
The machine carries on flying, and eventually ZFS is above the surface. ZFS drops out of the flying machine, which goes into the sun and burns up.
“Welp, there goes zat idea,” ZFS says. “Now I’m stuck on zee surface.”
Zee French Scientist gasps for water, and looks around him for any sign of water. He sees an aquarium, and rushes over to it. He dips his head in the water and sighs a sigh of relief.
“Oh, H20, how I've missed you,” he says.
“Hey, this guy’s taking up all the space!” a pufferfish says.
“Hey, I need my thinking space!” a starfish says.
“Do you even have any? You’re a sea star,” the pufferfish says.
“Of course I do! Why else would I be talking?”
“Good point.”
“I’m not from around here,” ZFS says. “Is zere a way back to zee ocean?”
“The ocean? Sorry man, we don’t know,” the pufferfish says. “But it would be great if we could go back. This place is a fishsty.”
As the pufferfish finishes talking, the lights suddenly shut off in the building.
“Looks like it’s closing time,” the pufferfish says.
“NO! I HAVE GOTTA GET OUTTA HERE!” ZFS yells, and tries to find an exit, only to find them all blocked off. “Great, now I’m stuck here.”
“Join the club,” the starfish says. “We’ve been here for Neptune knows how long.”
1 hour later…
“So… anyone have any sevens?” ZFS asks.
“Go starfish,” the starfish says.
“Very funny.”
Cut to the trio snoring inside the aquarium. A clam makes a rooster sound, waking them up. ZFS stretches.
“Is the dream over already? Oh. So it wasn’t a dream.”
“Yeah, you’re gonna think that a lot around here,” the pufferfish says.
“When does the aquarium open up again?”
“Right about…” As the pufferfish says this, the aquarium opens. “Now.”
“Yippee!” ZFS rushes towards the now open doors, but they don’t budge. “Maybe I’m not as strong as I once thought.”
“Ya think?” the starfish says.
“C’mon, you two, can you help open zee door?”
“Sure, whatever,” the pufferfish says. The pufferfish and the starfish go over to the door and help ZFS attempt to push the door open, to no avail.
“Welp, we tried,” ZFS says. “Gotta think of something else.”
“Wait! I think I have an idea,” the starfish says.
“Your ideas never work,” the pufferfish says. “If I come up with an idea, it’s probably better.”
“As if.”
“Well let’s see what your idea is first.”
“Okay then.”
The starfish pulls out a safety pin and tries to reach for the door, but can’t jump high enough.
“You realize the door isn’t locked, right?” the pufferfish asks.
“Oh. Dang it. Can’t even get high enough anyway.”
“You’re pathetic,” ZFS remarks as he is seen on top of a fish tank, about to jump on the doorknob.
“Whoever you are, don’t do it!” the pufferfish yells.
“Relax, I have zis all under control!” ZFS jumps onto the doorknob and sticks the landing. “See, nothing to be afraid of.”
The doorknob starts wiggling, and the door opens up. ZFS falls flat on his face as an employee of the place walks through.
“It’s the land creature!” the starfish yells. “Hide!”
The trio jump back into their tank just in time, as the employee is double checking to make sure all the fish are in the tanks. They all sigh of relief as the employee goes into the next room.
“I think the coast is clear,” the pufferfish says. “Let’s go, guys.”
The trio jump out of the tank and approach the door again.
“Hey, look! A gap,” ZFS says excitedly. “If I can do zis correctly, I can-”
ZFS attempts to slide under the door, but fails miserably. ZFS and the pufferfish look at the starfish.
“What are you looking at me for?” he asks.
“Slide under the door, flat face,” the pufferfish says.
“Fine.” The starfish slides under the door, and succeeds. He pushes the door open from the other side.
“Success!” the pufferfish yells. “Wait a second. I’ve never seen this room before.”
The trio realize they’re in a restroom.
“So that’s why I heard water flushing sounds,” the pufferfish says.
“I’ve seen plenty of action movies before,” the starfish says. “Surely there’s a-” 
As he says this, Zee French Scientist is already climbing up a vent.
“-vent.”
The starfish and pufferfish follow ZFS into the vent, and see that there are two ways they can go.
“I’ll go this way, and you go that way,” the pufferfish says.
“Aw, do I have to be the loner here?” the starfish complains. “You always ditch me.”
“I’ll go with him,” ZFS says. “Or else my name isn’t Zee French Scientist.”
“My name’s Pinch, but okay,” the pufferfish says.
“I have no idea what my name is,” the starfish says.
“Your name is Starfish Number 3452.”
“How do you remember that?”
Pinch shrugs, and he goes to the right alone, while ZFS and the starfish go to the left. Off-screen, the starfish is heard screaming as shredding noises are heard. The starfish is then seen without one of his limbs.
“Maybe don’t use zee can opener,” ZFS says.
“How was I supposed to know?!”
Meanwhile, Pinch finds an opening to the main lobby.
“Hey guys! I found an opening!” he yells.
“Sorry, too busy trying to grow a dang limb back!” the starfish yells back.
A title card appears on the screen that says “One Limb Later…”
“Ah, much better,” the starfish says in relief.
“Let’s keep going. We can’t have much longer to go now,” Pinch says.
The three of them notice the abundance of people in the lobby.
“We could get trampled out there!” Pinch says. “We need to be carefu-”
Before Pinch can finish his sentence, the starfish starts screaming again.
Transition to the starfish with a cast on one of his legs.
“Do I really need this?” he asks.
“Oui,” ZFS says.
“I don’t see very many people in here right now,” Pinch says. “Let’s get going.”
The trio jump onto the ground, and run across the ground, dodging water puddles, wads of gum, and a bottle cap.
“What’s this, a frisbee?” the starfish asks. He picks up the bottle cap and throws it across the room, clinking against one of the front doors. “I think I found our ticket to freedom.”
The starfish sees that he’s been left behind, and the other two are already outside.
“Why do you guys always leave me behind?”
Cut to the starfish catching up with the other two.
“Anyone see sand?” Pinch says.
“Ooh, ooh! I see some!” ZFS says as he points to nearby sand. “And there’s a wave!”
“Well what are we waiting for? Let’s go!” Pinch shouts. The trio run into the sand and into the sunset- wait that’s way too predictable.
The trio dives into the ocean and end up in Fancyland.
“What is this weird place?” the starfish asks. “And why is everyone wearing clothes?”
“Zis is a town called Fancyland. I live in that secret lab over the-”
“Yeah, well, it was nice meeting you, French Scientist,” Pinch says. “However we gotta get going. I wanna see if my parents are alive.”
“My parents are dead!” the starfish says as he runs off, and Pinch follows.
ZFS sighs as he heads back to his lab. He is then seen fidgeting with a test tube.
“Oh well, another loss,” ZFS says. “Sandy probably won again.”
Cut to Sandy being thrown tomatoes at the convention.
“But I said sorry!” she yells.
Sandy’s new intention is throwing nuts and bolts at everyone’s faces.
“Aw, nuts!” the mayor says as a nut goes down his mouth and chokes on it.
“Oh well, back to microbiology,” Sandy says to herself as the episode ends.
