(Scene cuts to Shubie putting groceries away in her kitchen) Nat walks into the kitchen.
Shubie: "Hi Nat! I just got back from the Barg 'N Mart. I hope you like meatloaf! They had a buy 3 for the price of 1 sale."
Nat: "That's great, Shubie! I love meatloaf! You're never gonna guess what I bought today."
Shubie: "What was it Nat?" Nat pulls out three tickets.
Nat: "Three tickets to go skydiving next weekend! They were on sale."
Shubie: "Ooo! That sounds like fun! I've always wanted to go skydiving! Wait, why did you buy three tickets?"
Nat: "One for me, you, and Susie!"
Shubie: "Nat, Susie's only 5. She's way too young to go skydiving. It's okay though. Why don't you just invite one of your friends to come with us?"
Nat: "That's a great idea! I'll call Pilar."
French Narrator: "The next weekend."
(Scene cuts to Nat, Shubie and Pilar standing in Nat and Shubie's driveway)
Shubie: "Wow that week really flew by! I can't believe it's already the weekend!"
Nat: "I know, I'm so excited! I can't wait to go skydiving!" Sadie walks by pushing her baby in a stroller.
Sadie: "Hi Nat!"
Nat: "Hi Sadie!"
Shubie: "Hi Sadie!"
Sadie: "Yeah, hi Shubie. So Nat, do you have any plans this weekend?"
Nat: "Me, Shubie and Pilar are going skydiving today!"
Sadie: "Did you say skydiving?" Sadie runs over to Nat and grabs him.
Sadie: "Promise me you'll be safe, Nat! I don't what I would do if I lost you!"
Shubie: "Why are you so worried, Sadie?"
Sadie: "Fred took us skydiving for our anniversary last year. I know, what a terrible anniversary gift! You would never get me an anniversary gift like that, right Nat? Anyway, when we went skydiving, this happened." Sadie pulls out her phone and shows Nat, Shubie and Pilar a picture. Nat, Shubie and Pilar gasp.
Sadie: "The doctors said it was the worst leg related injury they had ever seen. Fred was in the hospital for months while they put his leg back together. Promise me that won't happen to you, Nat! I don't know how I could go on without your handsome face and muscular body in my life! Well, I'd better get going. Be safe!" Sadie walks back over to the baby stroller and walks away. Nat looks at his watch.
Nat: "We should probably head over. Our skydiving appointment is in 30 minutes." Nat walks over to his boat. Shubie and Pilar don't move as they are still horrified by the photo Sadie showed them.
(Scene cuts to the skydiving place) Nat, Shubie and Pilar get out of Nat's boat. Nat points at a plane sitting in a field.
Nat: "That must be our plane!" Nat, Shubie and Pilar walk towards the plane. Shubie notices Jennifer-Millie standing near the plane.
Shubie: "Hi Jennifer! What are you doing here? Are you going skydiving too?"
Jennifer: "Oh, hi Shubie! No, I'm not going skydiving. It's much too unsafe. I'm here with the paramedics team in case there's a skydiving related injury. You wouldn't believe the types of injuries we've seen out here." Shubie and Pilar gulp. Nat, Shubie and Pilar walk over to the plane.
Skydiving instructor: "Hey guys! You must be our next group! I hope you're all ready to skydive!"
Nat: "You bet!" Shubie and Pilar nod their heads nervously.
Skydiving Instructor: "Great! I'll be your instructor today. Before you're ready to go skydiving though, you'll need to learn a few things! First, when you jump out of the plane, pull on this cord right here to release the parachute. If the parachute doesn't open, pull on this other cord to release the emergency parachute. Ok, that's everything! It looks like you guys are ready to go skydiving!"
Shubie: "What do we do if the emergency parachute doesn't open?"
Skydiving Instructor: "Pray to Neptune that you land on something soft. Now hop in the plane, guys! We're ready for takeoff!" Nat, Shubie and Pilar get into the plane. The plane takes off. Shubie looks down at the ground far below.
Shubie: "Wow, it's really high up here."
Skydiving Instructor: "Ok guys, we've reached the diving zone! Feel free to jump!" Nat gets out of his seat and runs towards the open door.
Shubie: "Nat! Wait!" Nat doesn't hear Shubie and jumps out of the plane.
Shubie: "I pray his parachute opens."
Pilar: "I'm not jumping! I don't want to get an injury like Fred!"
Shubie: "I know. I'm too nervous to jump too."
(Scene cuts to Nat falling through the air) Nat pulls on his parachute cord and the parachute opens. Nat glides through the sky.
Nat: "Wow! This is awesome! Bikini Bottom looks so different from up here!" Nat lands on the ground.
Nat: "Hey, where's Shubie? I don't see her up in the sky. Maybe she landed already." Nat pulls out his cellphone.
(Scene cuts back to Shubie and Pilar sitting in the plane) Shubie cellphone rings.
Shubie: "Hello?"
Nat: "Hey Shubie! Have you landed yet? I can't find you."
Shubie: "I'm still on the plane, Nat. I can't jump. I'm too scared."
Nat: "You can do it, Shubie! Skydiving was one of the greatest experiences of my life! You can't miss out on this!"
Shubie: "But what if the parachute doesn’t open, Nat? I don't want to go to the hospital or even worse."
Nat: "You'll be fine, Shubie! You need to do this. You'll regret it if you don't."
Shubie: "But Nat…"
Nat: "Do you trust me, Shubie?"
Shubie: "Yes. Of course I trust you."
Nat: "Then jump!" Shubie hangs up the phone and takes a deep breath. Shubie jumps out of the plane. Shubie pulls on her parachute cord and the parachute opens. Shubie glides through the sky. Shubie laughs.
Shubie: "Hey, I can see our house from up here!" Shubie lands next to Nat and gives him a hug.
Shubie: "Nat, you were right! That was the most fun I've ever had in my life! Thank you for getting us these tickets."
(Scene cuts back to Pilar on the plane)
Skydiving Instructor: "We're about to leave the diving zone, dude. This is your last chance to jump." Pilar walks over to the open door. Pilar looks down and sees the ground far below him.
Pilar: "I can't do this!" Pilar walks back over to his seat and sits down.
French narrator: "The Next Day."
(Scene cuts to Pilar walking down the street) Pilar walks past Nancy and Martha who are eating at a cafe.
Martha: "Oh look who it is!" Nancy and Martha start giggling.
Pilar: "What are you two laughing about?"
Nancy: "Wouldn't you like to know, wimp!" Nancy and Martha laugh.
Pilar: "Huh?" Pilar shrugs and continues walking. Pilar notices Charlie and Tina walking towards him.
Charlie: "Oh look honey, it's the chicken!"
Tina: "Gonna lay an egg today, Pilar?"
Pilar: "What?" Tina and Charlie laugh as they walk past Pilar. Pilar continues walking towards his house. Pilar sees Harold and Clayton.
Harold: "Hey, it's the wimp himself!"
Pilar: "Ok what is going on? Everyone's been acting so strange today."
Clayton: "Have you not seen the video?"
Pilar: "What video?"
Clayton: "Show him the video, Harold!"
Harold: "Yeah you're gonna want to see this." Harold pulls out his cellphone and shows Pilar a video of himself being too scared to jump out of the plane the day before.
Clayton: "Look at your face!" Clayton and Harold laugh.
Pilar(in the video): "I can't do this!" Clayton and Harold howl with laughter.
Pilar: "Where did you get that video?"
Harold: "It's all over social media! Someone posted it this morning and now it's everywhere! The whole ocean has seen it!" Harold and Clayton walk away laughing. Sally's Daughter and Sally who is pushing a baby carriage walk past Pilar.
Sally's Daughter: "Hey look Mom! It's the wimp!"
Sally: "It's not funny to make fun of others, sweetie. Oh, who am I kidding? It's hilarious!" Sally and her two children laugh as they walk away. Pilar sighs.
(Scene cuts to Nat and Shubie standing in their driveway) Nazz-Mimi and Frankie-Billy walk by pushing their baby in a baby carriage while laughing at something on Nazz's phone.
Nazz: "Hi Nazz! Hi Frankie!" Nazz looks up from her phone and sees Nat and Shubie.
Nazz: "Oh, hi Nat! Hi Shubie! We didn't see you there."
Shubie: "What are you two laughing about?"
Nazz: "We're just laughing at a viral video. Have you seen it? It's so funny! It's all over the internet." Nazz shows Nat and Shubie the video of Pilar.
Frankie: "This is the best part!"
Pilar(in the video): "I can't do this!" Nazz and Frankie burst out laughing. Nat and Shubie look at each other with concerned expressions.
(Scene cuts to Pilar leaving his house for work the next morning) Evelyn walks over to Pilar's house and hands him a package.
Evelyn: "Hey wimp! I have a package for ya! Don't worry, it's not for skydiving lessons!" Evelyn laughs and hands Pilar the package. Mabel and Lenny walk past Pilar.
Mabel: "Come here, stud." Mabel kisses Lenny.
Lenny: "Mabel, what has gotten into you?"
Mabel: "I don't know. It's almost as if being around someone who's less manly than you are makes you seem even more attractive to me. Oh, Lenny." Mabel and Lenny kiss. Pilar sighs.
(Scene cuts to Pilar walking to a bus stop)
Charlie: "Hey everybody! It's the wimp from the skydiving video!" Everyone at the bus stop laughs. A bus stops in front of them. Pilar gets on the bus.
Female bus driver: "That'll be 50 cents, sir. Oh, you're that dork from the internet! What are you doing taking public transportation? If I were you, I'd never show my face in public again. Ooo! Can I get a picture? My son will be thrilled when he hears that you were on my bus today!" The bus driver takes out her phone and takes a photo of herself and Pilar.
Pilar: "How much is it for the bus again?"
Female bus driver: "For you it's free! You're a viral sensation!" Pilar sits down on the bus.
(Scene cuts to Pilar sitting on the bus while all of the other passengers laugh at him) Pilar gets hit with a crumpled piece of paper.
Tom: "Loser!" Everyone on the bus laughs. The bus stops at a bus stop. Pilar gets up and walks past the driver who is counting a large amount of money. The driver looks up and notices Pilar getting off the bus.
Female bus driver: "Do you really have to go, wimp? I don't think I've ever had this many people on the bus before!" Pilar gets off the bus. Everyone on the bus gets off as well and follows Pilar. The crowd continues to laugh at him.
Pilar: "Don't you people have jobs?!" Pilar runs away. The crowd chases after him.
(Scene cuts to Pilar working at his job) Two of Pilar's coworkers walk by and laugh at him. Pilar sighs. Pilar looks out the window and sees the crowd of fish standing outside. Pilar sighs. Pilar's boss walks up to him.
Boss: "Pilar!"
Pilar: "Yes? I'm just filling out that paperwork like you said, sir."
Boss: "Forget about that! I'm sending you home!"
Pilar: "What? Why?"
Boss: "The other employees can't focus with that huge crowd outside! Plus, it's a bad look for the company!" Pilar sighs and leaves the office.
Tom: "Hey look, everyone! There he is! It's the wimp!"
Pilar: "Oh no!" Pilar runs away. The crowd chases after him.
(Scene cuts to Nat driving home from work)
Nat: "It was so nice of Sadie to close the store early today so that she could buy a new dress for our coworker bonding activity at Fancy! later this week."
Pilar: "Get away from me!"
Nat: "Is that Pilar?" Nat looks over and sees Pilar running away from the crowd.
Pilar: "Leave me alone!" Nat drives his boat over to Pilar.
Nat: "Pilar, get in!"
Pilar: "Nat! Thank Neptune you're here!" Pilar jumps into Nat's boat. Nat drives away.
Nat: "Why were all those fish chasing you?" Pilar sighs.
Pilar: "It's because of that stupid skydiving incident. Everyone in town won't stop making fun of me for it. I can't even go to work without people harassing me! I don't know what to do! Maybe I'll have to move to Rock Bottom and hope that no one recognizes me there."
Nat: "I have an idea! I know exactly what you should do, Pilar."
Pilar: "What's that?"
Nat: "You should go skydiving!"
Pilar: "What?!"
Nat: "If you don't chicken out and actually skydive this time, everyone will see that you got over your fears and will stop ridiculing you. Then your life will go back to normal!"
Pilar: "Nat, that's a great idea! I'll do it!"
(Scene cuts to Nat and Pilar in the parking lot of the skydiving place) Nat and Pilar walk past a crowd of fish.
Charlie: "Hey look! It's the wimp!"
Shubie: "Good luck, Pilar!"
Tom: "Don't chicken out again this time, loser!" The crowd laughs.
Pilar: "What are they doing here?"
Nat: "They have to see you face your fears so they'll stop making fun of you." Nat and Pilar walk over to the skydiving instructor.
Skydiving Instructor: "Oh hey, I remember you! You're that guy from the viral video I posted!"
Pilar: "You posted the video?!"
Skydiving Instructor: "Well yeah, it was really funny. Plus, it brought a lot of attention to this company. I should really thank you for being such a wuss!" Pilar looks over his shoulder and sees the crowd chanting.
Crowd: "Wimp! Wimp! Wimp! Wimp!"
Pilar: "I don't think I can do this."
Nat: "Sure you can! Tell you what, I'll even go up in the plane with you for support." Pilar sighs.
Pilar: "Okay. Thanks, Nat."
Skydiving Instructor: "Great! I think we're ready for takeoff!" Nat, Pilar and the skydiving instructor get in the plane. The plane takes off.

Tom: "I gotta get a video of this!"
Martha: "Do you think he'll actually jump this time?"

(Scene cuts to Nat and Pilar in the plane)
Skydiving Instructor: "Okay guys, we've reached the diving zone!"
Nat: "You ready to jump, Pilar?" Pilar looks at the ground far below.
Pilar: "Nat, I can't do this."
Nat: "Come on, Pilar. I believe in you!"
Pilar: "Nat, I can't! I'm terrified." Nat sighs.
Nat: "Look Pilar, I know we're really high up right now, but you have nothing to fear. Why don't I jump first to price to you that it's safe? Then you'll jump after me."
Pilar: "Okay."
Nat: "Great. See you on the ground!" Nat grabs a parachute and jumps out of the plane. Nat pulls on the parachute cord but the parachute doesn't open.
Skydiving Instructor: "Pull on the emergency cord!" Nat pulls on the emergency cord, but the emergency parachute doesn't open. Nat screams.
(Scene cuts to the crowd)
Tom: "Look at Pilar! He's shaking like a leaf! This is great content! Hey, Nat just jumped out of the plane. Oh dear Neptune, his parachute isn't working!" The crowd gasps.
Shubie: "WHAT? Give me that camera!" Shubie grabs the camera from Tom and looks into it.
Shubie: "NAT! He's going to die! My husband!" Shubie starts to cry. The crowd begins to panic.
(Scene cuts to Pilar and the skydiving instructor in the plane)
Skydiving Instructor: "Welp, that guy's definitely a goner."
Pilar: "No he's not!" Pilar jumps out of the plane. Pilar torpedoes through the air towards Nat.
Nat: "I'm going to die!"
Pilar: "Don't worry, Nat! I'll save you!" Pilar catches up to Nat and grabs him. Pilar pulls on his parachute cord and opens his parachute. Pilar and Nat glide through the air safely.
Nat: "Pilar, you saved my life!"
Pilar: "I wasn't going to let my friend die because of my stupid skydiving fear." Pilar and Nat land on the ground. Shubie sprints over to them.
Shubie: "Pilar, you saved my husband's life! You don't know how thankful I am! I thought I was going to lose him! I don't know what I'd do without him by my side." Shubie squeezes Pilar.
Pilar: "You're hurting me."
Shubie: "Oh, right. Sorry." Shubie lets go of Pilar. Shubie and Nat kiss. The rest of the crowd gathers around Pilar and cheers.
Frank: "Wow, Pilar! That was amazing!"
Nancy: "Yeah Pilar! You're a hero!"
Tom: "I got the whole thing on camera! Sorry for those things we said before. You're not a wimp. You're far from one actually."
Pilar: "It's okay, guys. I forgive you."
Harold: "Do you need a ride home, Pilar?" Pilar looks over at Nat and Shubie who are still making out.
Pilar: "Yeah, I don't think these two will be done anytime soon."
