Short, I know.

I could feel the coldness. I didn't try to get warm. I was useless in this form. This form so close to death.
Pearl had left a long time ago. Right when she turned eighteen. I don't know if she knows or cares. I wouldn't blame her if she didn't care.
I heard the door open and managed to open my eyes. The short man I hated all my life walked in, his one red eye showing question as his other one, the one covered by an eyepatched, was hidden from the world.
"What's this about, Krabbs?" he asked, crossing his arms as his cyborg wife, Karen, stood next to him.
"I want you...ta have me formuler...." I said, weakly, as I rolled to my side, not facing him.
"....What?"
I could hear the shock in his voice.
"I'm old, Plankten," I said, "Pearl is never coming back...that, and she wouldn't do a good job with the Krusty Krabb anyway...Spongebob ain't no leader, either..."
Spongebob. I think he's the only one that really cares. I felt bad for him, all alone at the Krusty Krabb while Squidward stayed at his house, seeing no point in coming when I'm dying.
"You're...you're not going to die, Krabbs..."
"We can't fool ourselfs, Sheldon. It's time to realize this sailor has ended his days...."
He didn't reply. His wife, as usual, stayed silent. I was a little shocked she didn't snicker when I said her husband's first name.
"....Don't...say that Eugene..." he murmured.
"Sheldon, our fighting days are done for me..."
He didn't answer.
I heard the door and flinched, thinking it was Spongebob. I could hear his sobs, but I also heard another, softer, voice say, "Is what Spongebob said true, Eugene?"
"....Aye...Mrs. Puff..."
I turned over and looked at her. Beautiful golden hair trailed down while her lovely blue eyes showed sadness.
"...Why didn't you tell anyone? Do you know how sad Pearl or I am?"
I raised a brow and she quickly blushed, saying, "More Pearl than me, but..."
"No need for apoligizing."
I laid on my back. I blinked before saying, "I'm...real tired...Can ye all just leave me be for now...?"
I felt a sob from Spongebob as I heard them left, closing my ears.
I flinched when I felt a tear on my cheek. I opened my eyes and looked up into the beautiful eyes of Mrs. Puff.
"Please....don't die...Pearl still needs you..."
I shook my head. "Pearly don't need me. She's tough as nails. Just like her old man."
She let a small sob out as she said, "I...I still need you..."
I didn't say anything. She leaned down and gave me a small kiss before leaving.
That was the last thing I saw before darkness fell over me....
