Cheater!

Cheater! is the thirty-seventh episode and the nineteenth episode of Season Two in Welcome to Fancyland!. It was written by FireMatch.
==Plot==
SpongeBob finds out that a student at his boating school is bribing his way out of doing anything, so he investigates and tries to expose him.
==Synopsis==
At Fancyland’s boating school, a grainy slideshow is shown on the whiteboard. In the slideshow, a demonstration on the right of way while driving is playing.
“And what do you do on a four-way intersection?” the slideshow says.
Several students groan.
“You go in order of who has stopped first. If you stop first, you get to go first. If you stop second, you go second. If you…”
SpongeBob lets out an audible yawn.
(Twelve minutes of yawn-inducing driver’s ed later…)
The slideshow finally ends, and nearly everyone is asleep. Mrs. Gulf sighs and pulls out an airhorn. She uses it, and everyone wakes up.
“Mommy?!” one of them yells, and everyone laughs at him.
“I hope all of you paid attention to this demonstration,” she says. “Because that’s what tonight’s homework assignment is. I’ll pass out the papers now so you can take a look-see.”
Mrs. Gulf starts passing out the stapled homework assignments to all the students. None of the students look impressed, but for some reason one student has a smug look on his face.
“What’s with the smug face there, Billy?” SpongeBob whispers.
“None of your business, NERD!” Billy says. The others snicker at his remark.
“Well, time to get to work,” SpongeBob says to himself. A montage of him writing down stuff onto notebook paper plays, and everyone else is doing the same, except for Billy. SpongeBob glances at Billy every now and then to see him just sleeping in his seat.
The montage ends, and around half the class is finished with their homework and turns it into Mrs. Gulf.
“Wow, done already? I guess it must not have been enough for some of you,” she says.
“Please Neptune no!” a student says. “I have blisters on my blisters!”
“Pfft… loser,” Billy remarks. “This homework is easy… no, easier than pie!”
“Well, if you’re so confident that it’s easy, why don’t you do it right now?” the student says to him.
“I- I focus better at home,” Billy stammers.
“Ha! Weenie!”
“I am not a weenie!”
“Alright, you two, that’s enough,” Mrs. Gulf says. “It’s almost time for class to end, so have a good rest of your day, everyone.” The bell then rings, and everyone rushes out the front doors of the boating school. When she’s sure nobody is around, Mrs. Gulf sits at her desk and swoons at a picture of a handsome man.
“Oh, Marty. Oh, Marty!”
The janitor comes in with a cleaning machine.
“Are you doing something I shouldn’t be seeing?” he asks.
“GET OUT!” Mrs. Gulf yells.
“Okay, okay.” The janitor quickly runs away from the classroom.
Bubble transition to SpongeBob eating breakfast at his breakfast table.
“I love having separate tables for every meal,” he says. “Don't you, Gary?”
Gary meows in agreement. SpongeBob then finishes up his caviar and gives a toothy black smile. After that, he gets up and leaves for school.
“Not even infinite wealth can prevent me from having a normal life. See you in the PM, Gary!” SpongeBob then rides his old bike to school.
Cut to the boating school, where Billy is having a discussion with Mrs. Gulf about the assignment.
“So, Billy, what do you have to offer today?” Mrs. Gulf asks.
“A rare jellyfish stone,” Billy answers. He gives it to the teacher, and she examines it.
“Deal! Automatic A+! Marty will love it!”
SpongeBob then enters the classroom, and Billy flees immediately.
“What's going on here?” SpongeBob asks.
“Oh, Billy just wanted to ask a question about the homework assignment. Not really anything important,” the teacher answers. “Class starts pretty soon, by the way.”
“I thought I got here early!”
Just then, a stampede of students enter the classroom and trample SpongeBob.
“At least I beat the crowd…”
The school bell rings and everyone is seated.
“Alright, class. Today's agenda is simple: more homework!”
Everyone except Billy groans.
“Today's assignment is an interesting one. It's a project! And what's this project, you may ask? Your project is to design your very own boat! The deadline is tomorrow, and you have all day today to work on it. Let's hop to it!”
“So, what's your boat gonna be?” a student says.
“I'm just gonna make mine a convertible,” another says.
“Pfft, a convertible? I'm gonna do a full-on limo!”
“Oh please, limos are so cliche in Fancyland. If you really wanna get unique, do a submarine… sandwich!”
“Quit making me hungry!”
Mrs. Gulf sips her cup of coffee as the projects are being worked on. Then, Billy approaches her holding a pack of something.
“What is it Billy?” the teacher asks.
“It's a… umm… peace offering. For the project.”
“Thank you, Billy. Automatic A+.” Mrs. Gulf takes the mysterious object from Billy’s hands. “Marty’s favorite flavor of gum too. Goldenrod!”
SpongeBob overhears this conversation, and stops working on his project to approach Mrs. Gulf.
“Uh, Mrs. Gulf?” he says.
“Yes, SpongeBob? Is there a problem?”
“Well, I heard the conversation you had just now. Is bribing like that allowed?”
“Oh please, SpongeBob, it's not that big of a deal. It's normal. You must not know how Fancyland works. Now go back to your project please, I'm very busy.”
SpongeBob goes back to his project and starts thinking of a plan.
(One project later…)
SpongeBob’s project is revealed to be a dinghy boat. Everyone else has finished their boats, except for Billy.
“Billy? Seriously?” SpongeBob says.
Billy blows a raspberry to SpongeBob, and this time the other students just groan.
“What? I thought you'd laugh!” Billy says.
“Yeah, but the fact that you're just doing nothing while we just finished our projects is just pathetic,” a student responds to him.
“He gave the teacher a ‘peace offering’ or something,” SpongeBob says, “I overheard a conversation with the teacher.”
“What?! THIS IS BLASPHEMY!” the student yells. “GET HIM!”
Billy is now frightened and runs into the hallway to hide in the boys’ bathroom.
“Okay, which one of you guys wants to go and get him?” the student says.
Everyone except for a short student named Ernie touches their nonexistent noses and says “Not it!”
“Dang it!”
Ernie reluctantly goes into the boys’ bathroom to confront Billy.
Meanwhile, the students are glaring at Mrs. Gulf, who is sheepishly looking back at them.
“Umm… this is normal, I promise…”
A student throws a diamond at her, which leaves a dent in her face.
“Alrighty then… No more Mrs. Nice Eel!” Mrs. Gulf shouts as she lifts her desk, aiming it at the students.
“Run!” one of the students yelps, and Mrs. Gulf hurls the desk at the students, causing a crashing noise. The janitor then appears again.
“For Neptune's sake, this is the fifth time this month...” the janitor complains. He then uses the cleaning machine to suck up the desk and put it back in its proper place, good as new.
Mrs. Gulf then gets on all fours as she growls like a wild animal.
“I think my resignation letter is long overdue,” the janitor says as he steps away and leaves.
Ernie comes out of the bathroom with Billy putting his head down.
“Whoa, how'd you do that?” SpongeBob asks.
“Being bullied for so long teaches you a few things,” Ernie responds.
Mrs. Gulf charges towards Ernie, and Billy runs to the left. SpongeBob and the other students run toward him while Gulf attacks Ernie in a fight cloud.
“Whoa whoa, easy, teach. I didn't even do anything!”
“You get your hands off my star student!” Gulf yells.
“You mean my 74 good noodle stars don't count for squat?” SpongeBob asks.
“Your what? Anyway, Billy is my star student because he gives me- I mean giiiiives me valuable… advice!”
“Yeah, we're not buying it,” a student says.
Mrs. Gulf sighs. “Okay, fine. It's an entire bartering scheme so I can give Marty some love gifts.”
“Are you two even dating?” SpongeBob asks.
“No… t… yet…” Mrs. Gulf blushes.
“Well I can't say no to true love,” SpongeBob says. “But I also can't say yes to fraud. Which to choose? Love or fraud? Hmm...”
“I know the answer.” The superintendent shows up behind all of them.
“Oh, um… superintendent, I'm sure this is all just a huge misunderstanding…” Mrs. Gulf tries to say, but gets cut off.
“I'm not hearing any of it. I already have a wife at home. I'll give you two choices: either you're fired or you're arrested.”
“Wait, I actually get a choice?”
Suddenly, a police officer shows up behind the superintendent.
“No, you do not. Mrs. Gulf, you're under arrest for assaulting a student.” The officer then handcuffs her.
“Wait! No! Not again! NOT AGAIN! MY PERMANENT RECORD!” Mrs. Gulf yells as she is escorted out of the school by another officer.
The janitor is seen looking at the scene as he puts away the phone he dialed 9-1-1 with.
“Again? What's up with all the crime in Fancyland?” SpongeBob asks.
“That's a story for another time, kiddo,” the officer says.
“Will we have a substitute tomorrow then?” a student asks.
“I'll be the substitute,” the officer answers.
Literally all students groan.
“Don't worry, with her immense riches I'm sure she'll be back in no time.”
The students groan again.
“It's a lose-lose situation!” Ernie says.
“Real life chess at my house!” one of the students announces. Everyone cheers and runs out of the building.
(Meanwhile…)
BlackJack is seen inside a cardboard box.
“That Jellien trade deal was a bust. I'm gonna need to think outside the box.”
BlackJack pushes the cardboard box out of the way to reveal he is in a jail cell. He pulls out a shovel as the episode ends.
