Story
LeBron enters the Bulldogs' gym early one morning, to begin practice.

LeBron: Good morning, team. As you all know, we have a game tonight against the Tomahawks!

Squidward: Yipeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!! (starts twerking)

Larry: What are you so happy about? The Tomahawks are our archenemy! I especially hate that AWFUL SQUIRREL!

Squidward: Well that "awful squirrel" happens to be what I'm so excited about!

LeBron: Don't tell me you're still in love with her!

Squidward: Of course not! But....so what if I am?!

LeBron: I know you two had a thing for eachother.

Squidward: A thing? Yeah right! We didn't have a thing! But....so what if we did?!

LeBron: Because if I ever found out that you were dating someone from the Tomahawks, I would personally SUSPEND you from the team!

Squidward: (gulp) There's nothing between us, Coach. I swear!

LeBron: Good. I expect you to not be distracted by her in the game tonight!

Squidward: Yes, sir! Heh-heh...

[After practice, walking home]

Squidward: (sigh)

SpongeBob: What's got you down, Squidward? I thought practice was great today!

Patrick: I had LOTS of balls in my mouth!

SpongeBob: Okay Patrick that just sounds disgusting.

Patrick: Dang it.

Squidward: Listen, I'm just having romance problems, okay?

SpongeBob: Maybe we can help you!

Squidward: Bahahahahhah! What do you two clowns know about romance?

SpongeBob: Well, nobody's had more girlfriends than Patrick!

Patrick: Yeah! I was dating 2,000 cheerleaders at the same time!

SpongeBob: And they attacked him and tried to kill him.

Squidward: That doesn't help anything! Listen, just leave me alone, guys. (he gets home, and slams his door)

SpongeBob: (standing outside) .....see ya at the game tonight!

[That night, right before the game]

The Toon Tomahawks were stretching and getting warmed up on their side of the court.

Adam: Listen up, everyone. Today, we CRUSH the Bulldogs!

Michael: Exactly, COACH!!!

Adam: We beat them in the first game of the season. In the second game, they BEAT US! But this time, we're ready for a COMEBACK!!!!

Michael: Woo-hoo! You rock, COACH!

Venice: I know right? Doesn't he? (staring lovingly at Adam) He's sooooooooo sexy.

Adam: Venice, you're my assistant coach. Not my bae.

Venice: Dang it.

Adam: (turns to his players) So, does anyone remember the game plan?

Sun Jeong: Keikakude wa, jū, naifu, soshite bakudan de sorera o korosu kotodesu!

Michael: (on his phone, using Google Translate) It means "The plan is to kill them using guns, knives, and bombs."

Adam: Pretty sure that's not the plan.

Fat Jessie: The plan is to take out Larry the Lobster. After that, we can kick butt.

Adam: Thank you, Fat Jessie.

Fat Jessie: Why can't you just call me Jessie! Everyone calls me Fat Jessie!!!

Adam: Because you're a fat dude named Jessie. That's why I call you Fat Jessie.

Fat Jessie: (frowns)

Adam: But you're one of my best players!

Fat Jessie: Yay!

Adam: Not as good as my star player Sandy, of course. Ain't that right, Sandy? ....Sandy?

Sandy is sitting on the floor, staring across the court, watching the Bulldogs warm up.

Adam: Sandy! What are you staring at! (looks across the court) Ohhhhh ho ho. You're still caught up on that SQUID, aren't you?!

Sandy: Squid? Heh-heh....what squid?

Sandy and Squidward are making eye contact directly across the court.

Adam: For all we care, the Bulldogs can BURN in a car fire!

Sandy: But...but....

Adam: Sandy! The game starts in 3 minutes! You gotta get focused! (drags her away)

[On the other end of the court]

Squidward: (watching Sandy) Oh, Sandy..... (a tear rolls down his cheek)

LeBron: SQUIDWAAAAAAARD!!!! What did I tell you about the Tomahawks?! They're nothing but trash! Now get over here, the game's about to start!

Larry: Squidward, we need you to focus. You're the second best player on this team, after me.

Plankton: I WOULD be a good player. If I got to PLAY!

Krabs: Benches were invented for a reason, Plankton.

SpongeBob: Indeed.

Plankton: Barnacles!!!

'Buzzer beeps. The game begins.'

Larry, Squidward, Krabs, SpongeBob, and Patrick ran onto the court.

Michael, Sun Jeong, Sandy, Fat Jessie, and Nebuchadnezzar ran onto the court.

Referee: Jump ball! (throws the ball into the air)

Larry and Michael jump for it, and Larry gets control. Larry dribbles down the court, being guarded by both Michael Clownfish and Nebuchadnezzar Jones.

Larry: I need some help over here!

Krabs runs over to Larry, and gets the ball. He throws it across the court to SpongeBob.

SpongeBob: (guarded by Fat Jessie) Squidward! Squidward! (throws it to Squidward)

Squidward and Sandy are standing under the basket together.

Squidward: Soo....heh-heh....hey, Sandy. (blushes)

Sandy: Good to see you again...(they both lean in for a kiss)

The ball smashes Squidward right in the face before they kiss.

Larry: SQUIDWARD!!! What the hell, man?!

Michael then got control of the ball, and dribbled down to the other end.

Larry: (guarding Michael) It's all over now!

Michael: We'll see about that! (passes to Nebuchadnezzar)

Nebuchadnezzar: (speaks in French accent) Here, take it Sandy!

He passes it to Sandy who is staring at Squidward. The ball knocks her out cold.

Michael: Sandy!!!! What's going on with you???

Sun Jeong: Watashi wa, anata ga daikiraidesu. Saiakuda na!

Sandy frowned, and looked at Squidward. The two of them stayed focused on eachother the entire game.

[After the game]

Adam: (fired up) We lost!!!! I can't believe we lost to the Bulldogs, AGAIN!!! Grrrrr, Sandy, this is all your fault!!! I told you not to stare at Squidward the entire time!!!

Sandy: (sigh)

[On the Bulldogs side of the court]

LeBron: We beat the Tomahawks! Yes!!!! Woo-hoo!!!!

Larry: This is freakin' awesome!!! We crushed them!!!!

Patrick: Why are we celebrating?

SpongeBob: WE JUST WON, PAT!!!

Patrick: Oh, HELL YESH!!! (steps on Plankton)

Plankton: Augh, my SPINE!!!

Squidward: (staring at Sandy) I know what I must do.

Squidward proceeds to run over to Sandy.

LeBron: Squidward, why are you going over there? Squidward? SQUIDWARD!!!

Squidward runs over to the Toon Tomahawks.

Squidward: (without saying a word, he and Sandy look into eachother's eyes and kiss)

Adam: (enraged) SANDY!!! YOU PIECE OF SHIT, THIS IS WHY WE LOST!!! (throws a chair at the couple) I'm coming for you! (runs at them)

Squidward: Your coach is gonna kill us!

Sandy: I know!

He turns around and sees LeBron running towards him.

LeBron: Squidwaaard!!!! I've told you a million times, not to be dating the enemy!

Squidward grabs Sandy's arm, and runs away with her.

Adam and LeBron crash into eachother.

LeBron: Ouch....

Adam: I hate you.

LeBron: I know.

[Outside]

Squidward and Sandy run together outside, through the stormy night.

Sandy: Where are we going?

Squidward: I don't know! Anywhere to get away from our coaches!

[Dramatic music plays]

Squidward and Sandy check into a hotel. They enter a room to spend the night.

Squidward: (sits on the hotel bed) We'll be safe here for the night.

Sandy: (jumps into the bed) Yeah, I guess so.

Squidward's phone rings.

Squidward: (looks at his phone) It's LeBron. Not answering.

Sandy: I'm not talking to Adam either. That man will murder me.

Squidward: Not on MY watch! I'll protect you!

Sandy: (gives him a sexy look, and they make out)

[Afterwards]

Sandy: Well, I'm gonna go downstairs and get some towels at the front desk.

Squidward: Okay, sounds good.

Sandy walks downstairs, and is surprised to see Squilliam Fancyson at the front desk.

Squilliam: Good day, Miss Cheeks.

Sandy: Hello....?

Squilliam: How can I be of service, here at the Fancyson Hotel?

Sandy: Some towels would be nice...

Squilliam: (chuckles) Oh ho ho, I can give you MORE than just towels....(grins)

[Upstairs, in the hotel room]

Squidward: What's taking her so long? Hmm....maybe ADAM kidnapped her. I'm gonna go check it out.

He walks downstairs, and sees Sandy and Squilliam making out, sitting on the front desk.

Squidward: AHHHHH!!!!!! SANDY!!!!!!! (bursts into tears) HOW COULD YOU??!!

Sandy: Squidward!! I'm so sorry...it just kinda.....happened.

Squilliam: Mwahahah! It's all over, Squidward! She's MINE now! I'm better looking, AND there's a bonus....I'm joining The Toon Tomahawks!

Squidward: What??!!! You're joining the Tomahawks???

Squilliam: (looks at Sandy) Come on, darling. Let's go back to the Tomahawks, and forget this ever happened. I'm better looking than Squidward, AND I'm not on your rival team. I'm on your team, babe. If Squidward truly loved you, he would leave the stupid Bulldogs, and come to the Tomahawks! But he hasn't! He obviously doesn't love you enough! I love you so much, I would do anything for you.

Sandy: (thinks for a minute)

Squidward: (crying) Sandy! Don't do it! (sniff) Don't do it!

Squilliam: Quit your whining, Squidward. She deserves much better than someone like you! A member of the Bulldogs! Your love is forbidden, anyway!

Sandy: (stands up) I've made my decision.

The hotel grew silent.

Sandy: Squilliam, let's go. (takes his hand)

Squilliam: So long, Squidward! I guess we'll see you next time the Tomahawks crush you!

Sandy and Squilliam leave the hotel. Sandy turns around and takes one last glance at Squidward.

Squidward: (falls on his face) NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

[Squilliam and Sandy go to the Tomahawks gym, and enter]

Adam: Sandy! You're back! ......and your squid boy has a uni-brow now!

Sandy: This is Squilliam. A new squid boyfriend.

Adam: Stop dating squids!

Venice: Yeah! Adam is sooo much hotter! Tee-hee.....

Adam: Not now, Venice. Go get me some coffee.

Venice: Dang it.

Sandy: Anyway, Squilliam wants to JOIN the Tomahawks!

Adam: A new player? Interesting. Are you skilled?

Squilliam: I am skilled.....

Adam: Great!

Squilliam: .....at soccer. I have a lot of feet.

Adam: Oh ...that doesn't do us any good. But, atleast Sandy won't be distracted by Squidward anymore! Welcome to the Tomahawks, my squidy friend!

Sandy: Yay! (she kisses Squilliam)

Squilliam: We will destroy the Bulldogs, that's a promise! Especially Squidward!

Adam: I like this guy! Sandy, he's a keeper!

Sandy: I know, Adam. I know.
