SpongeBob awoke to complete and utter darkness. Upon trying to get up, SpongeBob collapsed as a wave of diziness washed over him. "I think he's waking up!" said a familliar voice. Is that Sandy? thought SpongeBob. He opened his eyes and saw the big texan squirrel standing in front of him. "Sandy!" he yelled out of happiness. The two friends then hugged each other joyfully. "How long have I been here?" asked SpongeBob. Sandy looked at the calendar. "About 2 and a half weeks" she replied. Wow thought SpongeBob I've been out for a while.

The next day, SpongeBob got to leave the hospital, and over the next few days he recovered. Then it was monday, and it was time to go back to work, unless Mr. Krabs had replaced him. When he arrived at the Krusty Krab he was surprised to find Mr. Krabs waiting at the door. "SpongeBob, your back!" he exclaimed happily. "Squidward told me that you were coming back today, so I whipped you up a Krabby Patty" he said. "By the way, the price of that is coming out of your paycheck." he added. SpongeBob hungrily gulped down the patty. "Squidward, how'd you know I was coming back today?" SpongeBob asked after swallowing. "You whispered it in my ear last night while I was sleeping!" Squidward yelled angrily. "And if you dont mind, I'd rather you not do that again! In fact, i'd rather you not talk to me at all!". Mr.Krabs grabbed SpongeBob and walked him towards the door. "Go on into the kitchen, your replacement's getting tired" said Mr. Krabs as they walked into the restaurant. I wonder who my replacment was thought SpongeBob. He was surprised to find that his replacement was Patrick. "Patrick, your cooking!" said SpongeBob happily as he walked into the kitchen. "Cooking? Mr. Krabs said that this was how you learn Spanish!" said Patrick in a surprised tone. SpongeBob looked at a guilty Mr. Krabs, who had followed him into the kitchen. "Hey, it was the only way to get him to take the job" said Mr. Krabs.

Over the next week, SpongeBob got back into his daily routine. Things had gone back to normal. But SpongeBob knew that things would never be the same. The scars that had been made by his journey would never go away. The bonds he had made would never be broken. The memories that he had would never be forgotten. And, for better or for worse, he would never be the same person again.
