SpongeBob grabbed the notebook. He didn’t fight it. He added to it. He wrote one sentence in the glowing book: “ And then, they all worked together and made the best Krabby Patty ever, right there on the pirate ship. ”
The gang was hopeless. Sandy’s lasso snapped. Squidward’s clarinet solo was so bad it actually healed the seagull’s jetpack. Patrick tried to distract Burger Beard by showing him his belly button.

SpongeBob felt his arms shrivel. “No! He’s rewriting us!”
