to avoid a metal trash can. “Events here have this reporter wondering—what IS the secret ingredient in Krabby Patties, anyway?”
    An angry fish ran up, waving a metal pipe. “It’s love!” he yelled. “The secret ingredient is LOVE!”
    Perch Perkins ran away screaming. The angry fish swung his pipe at the camera, and Sandy’s TV screen went blank.
    â€œNo more Krabby Patties?” she said.
    Suddenly, the inside of the treedome went dark. Sandy looked up and saw a huge shadow covering the curved glass. “Huh?” she said. “What the corn dog is THAT?”
    The page from Burger Beard’s book with THE END written on it had drifted down and landed on Sandy’s treedome.

    Up in their bubble, SpongeBob was still trying to teach Plankton about teamwork. “Come on, Plankton! It’s easy! It means I help you, you help me, and when we accomplish our goal, we do ‘hands in the middle’!”
    â€œHands in the middle?” Plankton said doubtfully. “No, no. Sounds idiotic.” He looked down through the bubble to the town below. “Besides,” he added, “the two of us are no match for that cranky mob!”
    Down in Bikini Bottom, the angry horde was destroying a doughnut shop. They pushed on the side of the building until it tipped over and burst into flames. Doughnuts flew everywhere. People from the mob frantically gathered up doughnuts and carried them off, laughing hysterically, madness in their eyes.
    â€œWe could probably use a few more
tee-am
works,” Plankton suggested.
    SpongeBob brightened. “That’s exactly what I was thinking!” He pulled a pin out of his pocket.
    â€œWait!” Plankton said, holding up both hands. “What are you doing?”
    SpongeBob jammed the pin into the bubble.
POP!
He and Plankton plummeted through the air with Plankton screaming all the way!

W HUMP!
SpongeBob and Plankton landed right next to Squidward’s house. Plankton groaned, lying on the ground. SpongeBob quickly got to his feet and looked around.
    What he saw surprised him.
    Patrick was sitting on top of his house, banging his face against the rock. But instead of his usual shorts, he was wearing a futuristic-looking leather outfit.
    Between face-bangs he said, “I. Need. Krabby Patties. I! Need! Krabby Patties!”
    â€œPatrick!” SpongeBob yelled. “What are you doing?!”
    Patrick stopped banging his face against his house and looked over at SpongeBob and Plankton. “Vandalizing stuff,” he answered.
    â€œBut isn’t that YOUR house?” Plankton asked.
    â€œHey!” Patrick snapped. “What’s with all the questions? Who ARE you guys?”
    SpongeBob couldn’t believe Patrick had asked. Theyhadn’t been up in the bubble that long. What was wrong with Patrick?
    â€œIt’s me!” SpongeBob cried. “Your best friend! SpongeBob!”
    Patrick looked skeptical. “Oh, yeah? Well, if you’re SpongeBob, then what’s the secret password?”
    At the same time, SpongeBob and Plankton said, “Uh …”
    â€œCorrect!” Patrick declared with a nod. “It IS you! SPONGEBOB!”
    Patrick jumped off his rock and landed on SpongeBob.
BLOMP!
    â€œSpongeBob!”
    â€œPatrick!”
    â€œSpongeBob, why aren’t you at the Krusty Krab making Krabby Patties?”
    Patrick sat down, right on top of Plankton.
    â€œWell, I’d love to, but the formula is gone. We’re putting together a team to get it back,” SpongeBob explained.
    â€œA team?” Patrick asked. “Ooh! Ooh! Pick me! Pick me!”
    Patrick jumped up to give SpongeBob a big bear hug. Grinning, SpongeBob said, “Okay, Patrick! You’re in!”
    Plankton popped out of the sand. “I don’t know, SpongeBob. What exactly does this clown bring to the
tee-am?
”
    â€œHe brings loyalty, Plankton.” SpongeBob turned to his
