[The basketball team assembles for practice, early one morning]

LeBron: Welcome, team!

Gary: Mowwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!

LeBron: SpongeBob! How many times do I have to tell you? Stop bringing your stupid snail to practice!

SpongeBob: Coach, but he's our mascot! He deserves to stay!

Squidward: Kick the stupid thing out!

Larry: You betcha! (picks up Gary, and throws him out of the gym)

LeBron: No further distractions. Time to focus on playing strategies.

Patrick: (pulls Larry's pants down)

Larry: (grabs Patrick by the neck) YOU WANNA FIGHT, BUSTER???

Patrick: Sorry, I was checking something out.

Larry: I don't care how sexy I am. DO NOT PULL MY PANTS DOWN!!!

[Larry slams Patrick into the wall]

LeBron: Larry! We need him for the tournament! Kill him after the season ends!

Larry: Pfft. We don't need him. I'm the only important person on this team. (flexes his muscles)

Squidward: Whatever...

Krabs: I hate you, Larry.

Patrick: (gazing at his muscles) I love your six pack, Larry.

LeBron: Larry, just because you're the point guard doesn't make you better than anybody else!

Larry: (punches LeBron in the face) I DO WHAT I WANT!!!!

SpongeBob: (whispering to Squidward) One of these days, someone's gonna teach that arrogant jerk a lesson!

Squidward: I need a gun.

SpongeBob: Squidward! We're not gonna shoot him!

Squidward: No, I was gonna shoot myself.

SpongeBob: Ohhhhhh, now I get it. (hands Squidward a gun) Here ya go!

Squidward: Thanks. (holds the gun beside his head, and fires) Whoops! I missed!

Krabs: (his face covered in black smoke) You could say that, Mr. Squidward....

[Meanwhile, outside]

Gary: Moww!!!! (slithers down the street)

(A big white van pulls up near Gary)

Nerdy Guy: (hops out the car) What a perfect specimen!

Gary: Moww?

Nerdy Guy: Yes, you. Come along, now.

(Puts Gary in a small box, and throws him in the van)

Gary: MOWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!

Nerdy Guy: It's okay, little creature, you're safe with me! Everyone knows: Always trust a man in a big white van! (wink)

(He hauls Gary off to a secret laboratory)

Various Scientists: (they place Gary on a tray, and conduct various experiments on him)

Gary: Mowwww...

Scientist: Don't worry, little guy, this won't hurt a bit.... (gives Gary a shot)

Gary: Moww....(falls asleep)

A PERIOD OF TIME LATER

Gary: (waking up) Oh.....oh......what happened.....

Scientist: Good morning, Specimen......how do you feel?

Gary: (looks down at himself...he has a full, muscular body, with arms and legs)

Scientist: This may be a lot to take in at first, but-

Gary: I have an awesome body....

Scientist: Yes, Specimen, but, uh....

Gary: And I can talk!

Scientist: Yes, but, uh....

Gary: HELL YEEAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(everyone crowds around him)

SpongeBob: You rock!!!!!

Patrick: (swooning) Can I have your autograph????

Squidward: Can you sign my face????

Gary: Guys, guys, one at time. Haha.

(Larry is watching from the other end of the court)

Larry: Grrrr....why is he getting all the respect? I'm better than he is!!!

LeBron: Because of the purity of his heart, young one.

Larry: Really?

LeBron: No way, man! He's freakin' awesome!!! Woo-hoo!!! (runs towards Gary)

Larry: Grrrrr....I'll kill 'em! I'll kill 'em!

(The team is crowding around Gary)

LeBron: Please join my team, dude! PLEASE!!!!

Gary: Sure thing, dawg!

Everyone: Yaaayyy!!!!! (applauds)

LeBron: WOO-HOO!!! Looks like we've got a new point guard!!!

Gary: Point guard? Sweet!

Larry: Whoa, whoa, whoa, NEW pointguard?????

LeBron: Oh yeah, Larry, I forgot...you're off the team.

Larry: …...(cough).....WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT??????

LeBron: You've been an arrogant, violent jerk. Lately I've been wanting someone new.

Krabs: Yeah, you ARE a douchebag, bro.

Larry: Fine! I'll just go somewhere that people APPRECIATE me! (storms out of the gym)

(The rest of the team continues to scream over Gary)

Larry: (outside the gym) I can't believe my own friends would turn on me!

(A mini-angel appears on Larry's shoulder)

Angel: Now, now, Larry. You know you've been a douchebag to your friends.

Larry: Yeah, but I'm the point guard! I'm their leader. I'm responsible for leading them to victory in each and every game.

Angel: Well, you've still been a dick head. You need to go back into that gym and apologize!

(A mini-demon appears on Larry's other shoulder)

Demon: You haven't been a douchebag! They've been douchebags to YOU!

Larry: Hmmm....

Angel: Don't listen to that crap bucket! Listen to me!

Demon: No! Listen to me!

Larry: I know what I must do. (charges back into the gym)

(Inside, the team is admiring their new point guard)

LeBron: It's gonna be an honor to coach a non-arrogant point guard for once!

Gary: Well, I just do what I do, dawg.

[Larry bursts inside]

Larry: I OBJECT!!!!!!

Patrick: Me too!!!! Uh....who's getting married?

Larry: No one! Not if I can help it!

Patrick: Dang it!

Larry: I've come to take my position back.

LeBron: Well, well, well.....look who came crawlin' back!

Larry: Look, Coach, I know I haven't been the nicest person in the world. I understand that. But the truth is...every time I'm hard on you guys....or every time I puch you, or try to chop your head off with a battle axe......it's because I care. As point guard, I feel....like it's my geniune responsibility to make sure each of you is the best you can possibly be. (tears run down his cheek) Sometimes I feel like a failure, and I'm hard on myself....so I try to push you guys, because.....well......I love you guys.

(The team stares at him in awe)

Patrick: (sniff) That was beautiful.

SpongeBob: Yeah, that was a heart-felt speech.

Patrick: No, I mean this taco I'm marrying. (shoves a muffin up his nose)

LeBron: Larry, that was an extremely heart-felt apology.

Larry: And I meant every word of it.

LeBron: But there's just one little thing....

Larry: What's that?

LeBron: We like GARY BETTER!!!!!

Gary: AWWWHHHYEEAAAHHHH!!!!

SpongeBob: Woo-hoo!!!! (The team marches away, cheering with Gary)

Larry: (left alone in the gym) So....I'll see you guys around Christmas? (sigh)
