The After Party/Transcript

(The episode starts at the club hangout)

Persondudes: Hey there Squiddy!

Squiddypop: What goes up?

Persondudes: Did you ever find out where Cheesie went?

Squiddy: He doesn't go by that nickname!

Persondudes: Sorry. Where's **Crocker**?

Squiddy: I'm not quite sure—

Crocker: (enters) You needed me?

Persondudes: There you are!

Crocker: Uh okay... (Starts exiting)

Persondudes: Where are you going?

Crocker: I thought you needed me.

Persondudes: I just wanted to know where you were.

Crocker: Oh. (Continues to exit)

Persondudes: Where are you going?

Crocker: (annoyed) Doesn't matter!

Persondudes: Tell me!

Crocker: (Angrily) Fine! I'm leaving!

Persondudes: The room?

Crocker: (sighs) No, Persondudes! I'm leaving this club! Go find another leader now!

Persondudes: Why are you quitting?

Crocker: I don't care what you think! Stay away from me!

Persondudes: But Chees—

Crocker: No! You need a different leader now cause I ain't doing this any longer! (Storms out)

Persondudes: Squiddy, what's going on?

Squiddy: I was afraid you were gonna ask that. It's all because he—

Voice: Wait!!!

Squiddy: Who are you?

Voice: The name's Pen, and I want to join.

Squiddy: Do you even know what we do here?

Pen: Spongebob?

Squiddy: I guess you do...

Persondudes: (thinking) Really? Her? I wouldn't believe her joke. Very coincidental that she would join just after Crocker quit on us.

Squiddy: We were just about to disband.

Pen: What if I was your leader?

Squiddy: Uh go right ahead with the position!

Persondudes: (To Squiddy) Do you actually trust her?

Squiddy: Of course not!

Persondudes: Then why did you—

Pen: O Persondudes! Come over heeeeeere!

(Persondudes steps forward)

Persondudes: How do you know my name?

Pen: (laughs) I know everything about you, dude!

Persondudes: Something's not right here...

Pen: Come on, Persondudes. Everything is how it should be, Persondudes. Just accept, Persondudes, that I'm the new leader, Persondudes, and you, Persondudes, can't change a thing about that, Persondudes! Persondudes! Persondudes! PERSONDUDES!

(In reality)

Pen: Persondudes! PERSONDUDES! Wake up!!!

Persondudes: (Wakes up suddenly) I'm up! What? What? What do you want?

Pen: It's about time you were up!

Persondudes: I was asleep?!?

Pen: Uh yeah. All of us have been up all night!

(Persondudes realizes they are at his house)

Persondudes: Even Krusty too, eh?

Pen: Did you forget he was here?

Persondudes: Umm...

￼Pen: Everyone's looking at you right now.

Persondudes: Wha— (looks at everyone) Oh.

Pen: Anyways, it's time for breakfast! Come over everyone!

Persondudes: It's my party, you know. Anyways, what time is it?

Pen: Nearly 8am.

Persondudes: Wow that's late!

Krusty: (To Pen) Late? That boy's always a morning person.

Pen: (To Krusty) Yeah, a person**dude**. (Laughs)

Squiddy: Well, at least us 4 are here today

.

Pen: (Nervous) Yeah.￼.. (Walks to Persondudes in the dining room)

Pen: (To Persondudes) What's in your head right now?

Persondudes: O nothing (Looks in the distance)

Pen: It's about Crocker, isn't it?

Persondudes: (sighs) I guess so. I only knew him for the past three months, but it feels like a long time. When I joined, it was just him, Tyler, Squiddy, and I. Now everything has changed cause Tyler and Crocker left, and—

Pen: It was probably for the best, at least for them. I never met them, but as long as Squiddy is our leader, we are gonna be a great group together, and we are gonna show our loyalty to our favorite cartoon, SpongeBob SquarePants!

Persondudes: (Suspicious) Yeah, as long as Squiddy is our leader, there is no reason to worry. It's not like you or Krusty could ever be the leader.

Pen: You never know, things can change.

Persondudes: But you said you want Squiddy to stay as leader. He's the most responsible. You and Krusty don't have that. The youngest member can't possibly be leader of someone at least a year older.

Pen: Okay you seem like you're in one of those moods... Maybe I should get ready for more SpongeBob episodes.

Persondudes: You know, Pen? **You** seem in a weird mood. It was never expected that you would want to be leader.

Pen: **Want**?!?!? How have I shown in any way that I want to be leader? Squiddy's our leader, and that's that!!!

Persondudes: **Don't play those tricks on me, Pen!!!** You clearly want the position, but you'll never have it!!!!!

(Krusty steps into the argument)

Krusty: Enough, companions!

Pen: What, Krusty?

Krusty: You guys clearly don't get it, do you?

Pen: O please, Krusty. I know exactly what's going on!

￼Krusty: This club doesn't need arguments right now!

Persondudes: Pen started it!

Krusty: No, it's both of your faults! You're both overreacting guys! Just because Squiddy is our leader, he shouldn't have to split this meeting apart. Let's sit down, eat our breakfast, and watch our next Spongebob episode!

Persondudes: (sighs) Ok. You're right!

Pen: (surprised) Really? I thought you still didn't want me to be leader. I'll be leader if that's what you want!

Persondudes: (paranoid) No it's ok. No need to argue.

Pen: It's all cause your old friends quit.

Persondudes: Can't things be the way they were before?

Pen: Unfortunately not, but I'll be here, and so will Squiddy and Krusty. We're all in this together. It's all about ESB. That's why I joined in the first place.

Persondudes: Of course. By the way, what have you guys been doing the past few hours?

Pen: O we played on the consoles, ate food, drank sodas, and watched Spongebob the rest of the early morning!

Persondudes: (sad) I see. A bum I was the only one asleep, but look at me now, afraid! I'd rather have my sleep rather than a good time.

Pen: (cheers him up) Don't feel left out in any way.

Persondudes: You're right.

(They go to the living room)

Squiddy: Are you ready, teens?

Everyone: Aye, aye, Captain!

Squiddy: Oooooooooooooooooooo

(They start watching Spongebob, ending the episode)
