Stealing the Show

This is the second episode of Into the Spongyverse.
==Transcript==
(Young SpongeBob and Patrick are playing hide-and-seek in their cabin)
Young Patrick: Come out, come out, wherever you are!
Young SpongeBob: (in Counselor Squidward’s room, giggling) Nope!
Counselor Squidward: AHHHH! You do realize I’m naked, right?
(A shot of Counselor Squidward naked is shown, with a censor bar)
Young SpongeBob: Oops, lemme just take that off-
Counselor Squidward: OUT!
(Young SpongeBob gets kicked out of his room, and also the cabin)
Young SpongeBob: Oh yeah, forgot. We live in Bikini Bottom now. I miss the camp… (tears up)
Young Patrick: Don’t worry, SpongeBob, as long as we have each other, we can do anything!
Young SpongeBob: (sniffling) Yeah, like that one time we finally got food from that food truck.
Young Patrick: Yeah! And uhh… that one time where… uhh… d’oh, my memory is just a sack of peanuts!
Young SpongeBob: Lemme check.
(He opens up Young Patrick’s head to see that it really is just a sack of peanuts)
Young Patrick: You wanna know the worst part? I think I’m allergic! (starts crying)
(In the distance, Fentin is spying on the cabin with a pair of binoculars)
Fentin: Heheh, those guys are pathetic. Time to put this plan into execution.
Crabina: The Crabina Show lives on!
Fentin: Indeed it does, sister. Indeed it does.
(Bubble transition to Dr. Plankenstein’s house, where he, SpongeMonster, and Patgor are watching TV like usual)
Dr. Plankenstein: Do you really have to chew so loudly?
Patgor: (chewing loudly) Nope!
SpongeMonster: So what you're saying is… I'm made from several people’s body parts?
Dr. Plankenstein: Precisely, my dear monster.
SpongeMonster: Cool. And gross.
Patgor: I wish I was made from people’s body parts. All I got are these stupid stubs for limbs. I can't even reach the remote! (He tries to grab the remote from Dr. Plankenstein, who moves back)
Dr. Plankenstein: Nice try, kid.
Patgor: D’oh…
(Fentin sticks his head out of one of the house's windows to see the trio watching TV)
Fentin: Hehehehehe… you got that hijack working, Crabina?
Crabina: (on the phone) Yup. (does hacker stuff at the TV station)
TV station manager: (tied to the ground) HELP ME!
Fentin: Awesome. (he turns on a camera, which starts recording)
(The Plankenstein household notices the channel has changed by itself)
Patgor: Hey! What happened to the pink guy?
Plankenstein: How do you even know what color he is? The TV is in black and white!
(Patgor shrugs)
Fentin: (on TV) Salutations, members of the local multiverse. My name is Fentin Finkle, and I have an announcement to make. I am taking over the show!
Plankenstein: Wait what? You mean we’re… a show?!
Fentin: Well duh, obviously. And I’m here to put a stop to this shenanigans and bring back… The Crabina Show!
Crabina: Woohoo! Bravo!
SpongeMonster: Boo! (growls)
Patgor: He's right, master. He already took over the TV.
Plankenstein: Gimme a second. (he tries to change channels, but it always switches back to The Crabina Show) Drat! It really is hijacked!
Fentin: What can I say? (Scene cuts to SpongeBob’s house, where he is watching TV as well) I'm a true master of television.
SpongeBob: (gasps) Stealing the show is he?
Gary: meow meow. (Roll credits)
SpongeBob: I don't think anyone asked for your opinion, Gary.
(SpongeBob suddenly feels a sharp pain)
SpongeBob: Ow!
(SpongeBob’s tie disappears)
SpongeBob: Oh no! My tie!
(On the TV, Fentin is wearing SpongeBob’s tie)
SpongeBob: Hey! Stealing is against the law!
(Young SpongeBob runs into the pineapple)
Young SpongeBob: Hey, do you have a spare shoe by any chance? (He shows his right foot which is now barefoot) My shoe disappeared.
SpongeBob: Looks like it's not just me.
(TPSS Patrick barges in)
TPSS Patrick: That stupid crab guy stole my show again! Stupid Crabina show…
SpongeBob: (sniffs) I smell a takeover.
Fentin: Hahaha! That's because this IS a takeover! SpongeBob SquarePants is no more!
SpongeBob: Hey, you can't get rid of me!
(Just then, SpongeBob’s nose disappears)
SpongeBob: HEY! You’ll pay for this, evildoer!
Fentin: So what? I'll already be filthy rich with all the TV ratings the Crabina Show is getting!
(He pulls up a chart that shows he's getting 0.40 million viewers)
SpongeBob: That's not very many people.
Fentin: Hey, kid, cable’s dying, I'll take what I can get.
SpongeBob: That's it. (SpongeBob turns off his TV) There, finally some peace and quiet. No more Fentin.
(The TV turns back on)
Fentin: I'm back.
(SpongeBob screams)
Fentin: There's no escape, SpongeBob. Your show is officially toast.
(SpongeBob then unplugs his TV)
SpongeBob: There, finally. For real this time.
Young SB: Yeesh, that guy’s a nut job.
TPSS Patrick: For sure. I thought that guy would just screw off after one episode. Guess not.
Young SB: So, what's the plan?
(Squidina enters the pineapple, furious)
Squidina: I know what our plan is. We go to that stupid crab, and KNOCK HIM OUT TO SEE HOW HE LIKES TO SEE HIS LIFE IN SHAMBLES! (pants)
SpongeBob: Whoa.
TPSS Patrick: I think little sis has a good idea on her hands. Or tentacles.
Young SB: Yeah, we need to get to him and sock him!
SpongeBob: I didn't think my younger self would resort to violence. Ow! (his right eye’s eyelashes disappear)
Young SB: Sorry, was just following the mood.
SpongeBob: We should really get going before I disappear for good.
Young SB: Yeah, good idea.
(Bubble transition to the four of them walking in the middle of nowhere)
TPSS Patrick: Are you sure you know where we're going? My tummy has a bad feeling about this…
SpongeBob: Trust me, it'll be fine. Besides, it's not like the TV station isn't somewhere we can't find.
Squidina: You mean it's the station that holds all of your shows?
SpongeBob: Exactly. And Fentin has hijacked them.
(TPSS Patrick’s pants disappear, and he uses his arms to cover himself up)
TPSS Patrick: Dang it, I left my spare suit at my house!
(SpongeBob hands him a spare pair of square pants)
TPSS Patrick: Well, uh, this'll have to do. (He puts on the pants, which fit him very awkwardly)
SpongeBob: C’mon, it can't be that far away from here…
(In the distance, they all see a blip)
Squidina: That's them! Let's get 'em!
Young SpongeBob: Yeah! Less goo!
Squidina: Please never speak again.
(The four of them make a mad dash to where the blip is, which reveals that is where the TV station is at. In front of it, several TVs broadcasting the Crabina Show are present)
Squidina: Yeesh, what a cringe fest. Let's just get this over with.
(They open the double doors, and immediately run upstairs)
Lobby lady: (with a gag on her mouth) Hlllp! My btttt iittchhs!
TPSS Patrick: We should help that lady. Seems she has a serious issue.
SpongeBob: Not right now, clothed Patrick. Our shows first, then everything else later. Up the stairs we go!
(They all keep going up the stairs, increasingly getting exhausted, until they finally reach the top floor)
Squidina: Oh hey, an elevator. (deflates) How convenient.
(Fentin is seen in a spinny office chair, and turns around to face the group)
Fentin: Here to confront me, huh? Well it's not going to be that easy. CRABINA!
(Crabina presses a button on the wall to put a net over the four of them)
Squidina: I think I've run out of witty comments to use here.
TPSS Patrick: Darn, now I'm gonna have to come up with some!
Fentin: Looks like you guys just got canceled!
SpongeBob: Barnacles, I knew cancel culture was up to no good.
Fentin: Enough of your whining, SpongeBoob. Your show is finally over. Finally, after 22 years of waiting…
TPSS Patrick: I’m no math wizard but I’m pretty sure you’re younger than 22.
Fentin: SHUT UP! You know you can’t do anything now, it’s too late! Why bother making smart talk when I’ve already won?
(Suddenly, Sandy crashes into the nearby window, along with her nieces)
SpongeBob: Sandy?!
Sandy: Hi-yah! I’m here to save y’all!
Fentin: Oh no you don’t! Crabina!
Crabina: The trap is single use, brother. It’s no use!
Fentin: Barnacles!
Sandy: Let’s get this show back on the road!
(Sandy karate chops the net that was trapping the four of them, and they all escape)
Fentin: Uhh… hi?
(Sandy roundhouse kicks Fentin out of the same window she jumped into)
Crabina: Please! Not me!
Sandy: Oh, I’ll save you… for now. Now to get the shows back up and running…
(Sandy does a lot of typing on the supercomputer holding the TV stations, and all of SpongeBob, Young SpongeBob, and TPSS Patrick’s missing parts come back)
TPSS Patrick: Hooray! I’m not naked anymore!
SpongeBob: Oh tie, how I’ve missed you!
SpongeBob’s tie: Help me
SpongeBob: (laughs) You’re funny. Let’s go home, guys.
(Everyone exits the TV station building, leaving Crabina alone)
Crabina: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-
(Meanwhile)
Fentin: Ugh… where am I?
(He looks around to see he is in Kelp Forest)
Fentin: Gross, nature! I’m allergic to nature!
Random clam: Squawk!
Fentin: I hate you.
(The scene cuts to the Plankenstein household, where Patgor and SpongeMonster are laughing at Fentin’s suffering)
Dr. Plankenstein: Oh, I love the suffering of others.
Patgor: You’re telling me, master! (bashes Plankenstein’s head in, and it pops back up)
Dr. Plankenstein: Ugh, barnacles…
(end)
