SpongeBob and Patrick decide to visit Fancyworld, Fancyland's world-famous amusement park. However, things go awry when the power source is mysteriously cut.
==Synopsis==
SpongeBob is eating a box of Cap’n Kelpos while watching cartoons on the sofa.
“Gary, I can’t explain how addicted I am to these things,” SpongeBob says with his mouth full. “They taste SO GOOD!”
“Meow meow.”
“Yeah yeah I know, don’t chew with your mouth full.” SpongeBob swallows his cereal. “It’s Sofa Sunday, which means manners are off the table. Literally.”
A commercial break occurs, and the first commercial to play is one about…
“Fancyland’s most famous amusement park: Fancyworld!”
SpongeBob’s eyes are now glued to the TV screen.
“That’s right, an amusement park for the royalty. Assuming you’re residing there, you can get the most luxurious roller coasters, cotton candy, and yes, even teacup rides that will make you want to vomit! All for no price at all… if you live in Fancyland of course. If you don’t, well too bad! You’re a peasant!”
The commercial ends, and one about stamps starts playing.
“I need to go there!” SpongeBob yells as he gets off the sofa and out the door. He runs up to Patrick’s golden rock and rings the doorbell.
“Ding dong!” SpongeBob says as he rings the bell.
Patrick’s rock opens up, and Patrick yawns as he falls on top of SpongeBob.
“What is it, SquareBob?” Patrick says, still not awake.
“We need to go to Fancyworld today,” SpongeBob says excitedly.
“Fancyworld? Sounds like Glove World with extra steps.”
“Yeah, but it’s even better. I think I even saw golden ice cr-”
“Well then what are we waiting for?! Let’s go now!”
“Patrick, you’re not even wearing any pants.”
“Oh yeah.”
Patrick goes back into his rock, puts on a pair of shorts, and opens the rock back up and hops out.
“Wait! I forgot about something.”
“What is it, Patrick?”
“We need to use our manners. Remember: when in doubt, pinky out.”
“Patrick, it’s Sofa Sunday, remember?”
“But we aren’t even on the sofa!”
“Whatever, let’s just go, Patrick.”
Cut to SpongeBob and Patrick walking down a golden-paved sidewalk. They then see a large sign that says “WELCOME TO FANCYWORLD!”. They approach the sign.
“It’s here!” SpongeBob says excitedly.
“No, it’s actually over there,” Patrick says, pointing to the actual place.
“Wow, for once you’re actually intellectual.”
“What?”
“Never mind.”
They then enter the amusement park to see all the things they can do.
“Look, Patrick! A royal teacup ride!” SpongeBob says. “Eels and Escalators: The Ride! I’ve only heard that one in rumors. Ooh, looky here, it’s the Fancy Fist O’ Pain! Patrick, we have to get on that one!”
“The Fancy Fist O’ Pain? What can be so fancy about a fist?” Patrick asks.
“Beats me. Let’s go!”
SpongeBob grabs Patrick by the arm and rushes over to the ride. They get in the roller coaster cart, and the ride manager presses the big “GO” button on the machine. The roller coaster starts. SpongeBob and Patrick go through several loop-de-loops, hoops of fire, and even the…
“Fancy Fist O’ Pain! The real one!” SpongeBob yells as it passes by.
“Too bad it didn’t hit me,” Patrick says.
“If they did that, Patrick, they’d get sued.”
“Who’s Sued?”
“Never mind, again.”
They finish the ride, and their spines pop out of their bodies. The ride manager pops them back in.
“Wow, that felt good!” Patrick says. “Let’s go again!”
“Let’s switch things up, okay, Patrick?” SpongeBob says.
“Oh, fine.”
“Let’s go to the teacups, they look fancy!” Patrick says. “And made of butter!”
“Patrick, for the last time, it’s gold,” SpongeBob corrects him.
“Aww…”
Cut to the duo getting in a teacup. The operator turns on the ride, and the teacups start spinning. SpongeBob and Patrick scream with joy.
“This is awesome!” Patrick screams.
“We’re invincible!” SpongeBob screams.
Then, the ride suddenly stops. SpongeBob and Patrick are thrown out of their seats and land on the ground.
“Mommy?” Patrick says.
“No Patrick, I’m your friend,” SpongeBob says.
“Aww.”
“The ride stopped for some reason. But why?”
SpongeBob notices that all the other rides have stopped as well.
“SpongeBob, look! The popcorn stopped popping!”
“You’re right. We’re gonna starve.”
They see several people leaving Fancyworld.
“People are leaving. This is a disaster!” SpongeBob says.
“Hey, at least we have the place to ourselves.”
“That doesn’t matter if we can’t even do anything here. We need to find out why the power went out.”
“You’re right. We need to start mining.” Patrick puts on a miner’s helmet, but SpongeBob takes it off his head. “Hey! I got it for a bargain!”
“Patrick, we’re royalty. But royalty can’t fix Fancyworld.”
“Then what will?”
“Solving this mystery.”
“Oh yeah. Hey, remember that horse you had that you named Mystery?”
SpongeBob has flashbacks, with gunfire noises in the background.
“You okay, buddy?”
SpongeBob shakes his head, getting the flashbacks out of his head.
“Yeah, uh, I’m fine. Let’s go find out what… or who… cut the power.”
“How do we know it’s a who?”
“That’s what mystery TV shows are always like. Mysteries are always caused by other people.”
“People can’t be that bad, can they?”
“They invented spam email, Patrick.”
“Good point. Let’s get crackalackin.”
Patrick tries to crack his knuckles, but breaks his hands in the process.
Cut to SpongeBob and Patrick investigating each and every ride in Fancyworld. They check the teacup ride, the Fancy Fist O’Pain, and even the popcorn machines.
“We’ve checked pretty much everything in this park, and still no clues or anything,” SpongeBob says. “Maybe this mystery will be left unsolved.”
Patrick then sees something run in the distance.
“Come back, you stupid green jelly bean!” he yells as he goes after the thing.
“Patrick, where are you going?”
“Not important! I’m starving and I think I’m starting to hallucinate.”
SpongeBob runs after Patrick, and sees that he isn’t hallucinating.
“Patrick, that’s a little kid. All alone.”
“Aw man, now I’m gonna starve.”
The little kid pulls out a pair of wire cutters from his pocket, and goes over to the last remaining thing with power: the park’s sign.
“Are you thinking what I’m thinking?” SpongeBob asks.
Patrick’s thought bubble appears, playing https://youtu.be/2kp8B3x28pM.
SpongeBob taps on his shoulder. “Patrick. Patrick. Patrick.”
Patrick’s thought bubble disappears. “Oh yeah, my brain just went into autopilot there for a second.”
“I’m taking that as a no. That kid’s been the one cutting all the power!”
“How do you know?”
“Why else would he carry a pair of wire cutters in his pocket?”
They both observe the little kid going up to the back of the sign, cutting the power from it.
“Great, now we have ZERO power in this place,” Patrick says.
The little kid hears Patrick say this, and giggles loudly.
“We can hear you!” SpongeBob shouts at the kid.
The kid blows a raspberry and runs off.
“After him!” SpongeBob yells. SpongeBob and Patrick run after the kid.
They eventually wind up at Fred’s house.
“Not Fred!” SpongeBob says. “He already broke his leg yesterday!”
The kid jumps into an open window in Fred’s house, and off-screen, Fred yells “MY LEG!”
“That was a bust,” Patrick says.
The kid runs out again, and the duo run after him. The kid goes out into the street where there’s busy traffic, purposefully.
“He’s gonna get killed!” SpongeBob says.
“Let him,” Patrick says.
“Cynical, and I don’t think I like that,” SpongeBob replies. “We need to get him.”
SpongeBob carefully steps into the road, and his foot gets run over by a limo.
“YOUCH!” SpongeBob’s scream is so loud that it scares nearby clams on a clothesline.
“Maybe we need to take a different way,” Patrick says.
They see that the little kid is already on the other side of the street.
“Wait, I have an idea,” SpongeBob says.
SpongeBob blows his nose, making his body inflate into a hot air balloon.
“Hop on, buddy.”
“Oh, boy!” Patrick says as he gets on.
SpongeBob flies along the street, catching up to the little boy. He notices, and the boy cowers in fear.
Patrick falls out of the “hot air balloon”, and lands belly-first on the boy.
“That wasn’t on purpose,” Patrick says.
The boy groans from under Patrick's belly, and gets himself out from there. He is about to run off again, but SpongeBob catches him just in time.
“Explain yourself, little guy,” SpongeBob demands.
“Fine…” the boy says reluctantly. “I may have decided to trash Fancyworld while my parents went out on date night.”
“Ooh a date night!” Patrick says.
“Not now, Patrick,” SpongeBob says. “Now, kid, where are your parents?”
The boy has an unamused expression. Cut to SpongeBob and Patrick at the kid’s house… erm, entire mansion.
“Wow, so elegant I could eat it,” Patrick says.
“Shut up, nerd!” the kid says.
“Well that was… hurtful,” Patrick says, whimpering.
SpongeBob opens the mansion’s doors, and the three of them walk inside. When they get inside, the kid instantly runs to his parents and cries.
“They were being mean to me!” the kid whines.
“Billy, what did you do this time?” the mother asks.
“Nothing…”
The mother sees Billy’s wire trimmers in his pocket.
“So that’s where those have been this entire time. C’mon, you’re grounded for the rest of the month.” The mother drags Billy upstairs.
“All’s well that ends well, am I right or am I right?” SpongeBob says confidently.
“Thanks for helping find our son,” the father says. “He’s been missing all day.”
“No problemo,” SpongeBob says.
Suddenly, the power goes out.
“Billy!” the mother screams.
