Now for the last chapter, I'm impressed at how popular it was. Just because I'm curious, what review would you give it outta 10? Enjoy!

Chapter 17: Happy Ending

After the defeat of DarkEvil LaserPants, SpongeBob's friends came up to him.

"Wow, SpongeBob." Sandy said in awe. That was SOME stuff that just happened."

"That was the best game of space pirates ever." Patrick said, still thinking it was all a game.

"SpongeBob!" Squidward yelled. "What just happened?"

"I demand an explanation about this!" Mr. Krabs demanded.

"Well, you see, I…" When SpongeBob was about to explain, Plankton came in.

"Hey what's going on," Plankton asked. "Who's the crazy guy in the evil costume?"

"Oh, speaking of evil…" SpongeBob remembered and leaned down to Plankton. "I quit!"

"What?" Plankton yelled surprised.

"What?" Mr. Krabs and Squidward yelled surprised.

"What?" Patrick just said.

"You can't quit!" Plankton told SpongeBob.

"Yes, I can!" SpongeBob then kicked Plankton outta the restaurant. "That's for almost hurting my friends!"

"You'll pay, SpongeBob!" Plankton said as he flew back to the Chum Bucket. "Ow."

As SpongeBob was happy at himself, he saw his friends weren't happy at him.

"You started working for Plankton after I fired you?" Mr. Krabs asked.

"Yes, yes I did." SpongeBob solemnly spoke, "But that was before my life changing journey that I realized that my friends are more important than having some stupid job. The next time I get a job, it'll be one that won't turn me into some evil dictator, and if it does, I'll stop it all over again."

As SpongeBob was about to leave, Mr. Krabs got his attention. "Uh…SpongeBob?"

"Yes, Mr. Krabs?" SpongeBob said, on the verge of tears.

"For doin' the right thing and saving the Krusty Krab, I herby award you with your job back."

SpongeBob gasped, but smiled. "Really?"

"Yes, besides who else is gonna make me money?"

SpongeBob jumped for joy. "Yippee!" Then SpongeBob ran over to the boxes and saw DarkEvil was gone and so was the beamsword in his pocket. 'Gee, I wonder if things are back to normal now.'

"Meow."

SpongeBob looked behind him and saw Gary. "Gary, you're not talking!" SpongeBob picked up Gary and started hugging him.

"Meow?" Gary asked.

"I've never felt better, buddy." SpongeBob replied, but soon remembered something, "Patrick!"

SpongeBob dropped Gary and ran toward Patrick. "Patrick, we're still best friends, right?"

"We sure are, SpongeBob." Patrick replied.

They both hugged, and Squidward walked up to them.

"And Squidward, I'll hang out with you everyday for the rest of our lives." SpongeBob walked away leaving Squidward with a worried look on his face.

"Oh, what did I do to deserve this?" He asked himself.

"Hey SpongeBob!" Sandy said. "How about showin' me that karate move you did."

"Sure thing, Sandy."

"Uh, SpongeBob." Mr. Krabs said, pulling SpongeBob away. "You're acting a bit strange…er. Did something happen?"

"Something did happen, and I can't wait to tell you about it."

20 years later…

"And that's how I saved the future. Which is actually now." said old man SpongeBob, telling his story to everyone at the Krusty Krab.

"SpongeBob!" Squidward shouted. "You've been telling that same story over and over for the past twenty years. Give it a rest already!"

"Well…" SpongeBob said thinking it over.

"I like it." Patrick said. "Tell it again!"

"Okay."

Sandy, Squidward, and Gary groaned in annoyance.

"It all started twenty years ago…" SpongeBob started.

"SpongeBob!" Mr. Krabs yelled from his office. "Get cookin' those patties, the lunch rush is a comin'!" Mr. Krabs went back into his office.

"Sorry, guys. Gotta work." SpongeBob said as he went back into the kitchen.

Everyone sighed with relief.

"I'll just tell the story from in here then." SpongeBob shouted from inside the kitchen.

Everyone groaned in annoyance again.

"It all started twenty years ago…"

The End

I hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I had fun writing it, I think this is my best work so far. The way this all started out was when I kept thinking SpongeBob should do a Star Wars episode and then I started working on this, remember to review.
