Whale of a Birthday chapter 4

Chapter 4, Everything Trying to Tell You

Mr. Krabs and Squidward were admiring an ice sculpture of Pearl. "It took 400 pounds of ice to make this true majesty," Squidward said. "Yeah," Mr. Krabs said exhaustingly. He looked at Pearl's list. "Well, Pearl's birthday!! Now how about the entertainment shows?? We ran out of those ones where you put on 3D glasses & shrink, then it'd be very big." Squidward replied, "I think...we have 2 of those left. I remember one of them with snakes & lions. We still have that one, it's a great one." "Then, there's Boys Who Cry," Mr. Krabs said knowingly. "They charge a million dollars just to show up," Squidward said, "and if you want them to lip sing, it'll run into real money!" Mr. Krabs said, "I'll have BOTH!" He and Squidward laughed.

At the mall, Pearl was looking at a party dress. She begged SpongeBob to buy her it, and it reminded her of her prom dress. He did. Platform shoes, jewelry, a party crown, and makeup were all bought. Pearl looked at herself in the mirror of the Fashion Lounge's fitting room. She remembered seeing Billy Fishkins earlier. A love fantasy began...

It began when the fitting room turned into a church decorated in white and pink. Pearl looked and found herself wearing a wavy white dress with a veil on her head. She turned and saw Billy Fishkins in a tuxedo and top hat. They walked down the aisleas bells rang. An elderly fish with a book stated, "You may now kiss." Then they kissed...flowers were showering upon them, and the church whirled into a technicolor nightclub. It was their reception! "Stadium Rave" was playing as they danced to the beat.

Then the club whirled to an island with naive girls doing the hula. A honeymoon! Pearl played a waikiki. Then it whirled to a hospital, where Pearl was holding a baby fish. She and Billy kissed...and then the hospital whirled back to the fitting room. SpongeBob tapped her on the shoulder. They walked to a boat. "My dad shoulda got THIS for my birthday," Pearl said. Judy said, "He probably got another box of staples." They walked out of the mall.
