minute!” he said. “Repeat that! Slowly!”
    â€œNot … without … a … time … machine,” SpongeBob said in a slow, deep voice.
    â€œYes!” Plankton shouted. “THAT’S IT!”

“S pongeBob, you’re a genius!” Plankton cried, clapping him on the back.
    â€œI am?” SpongeBob asked, puzzled.
    â€œIf we build a time machine,” Plankton explained enthusiastically, “we can go back to before the formula disappeared! Before society broke down! Before we became the hunted!”
    SpongeBob looked doubtful. “That sounds great, Plankton,” he said. “But how do we build a time machine?”
    Plankton paced back and forth, thinking. “Well,” he said slowly, “first we’ll need a computer powerful enough to calculate the intricacies of time travel.”
    â€œWhere would we get one of those?” SpongeBob asked.
    â€œI just happen to be married to one,” Plankton answered with a smile.

    High on another cliff at the edge of Bikini Bottom, SpongeBob and Plankton looked down at the Chum Bucket. It was surrounded by guards. And they looked angry.
    â€œThose thugs have got Karen tied up in the back room,” Plankton said. “We’re going to have to sneak by them. You know, it’s funny. I’ve never seen this many people at the Chum Bucket.”
    â€œI know!” SpongeBob exclaimed. “I’ve never seen ANYONE there.”
    Plankton looked exasperated. “Now, was that really necessary?”
    â€œBecause the food’s really bad.”
    â€œOh, come on! REALLY?”
    â€œSHH!” SpongeBob said. “How are we gonna sneak past those guards?”
    â€œHmm …,” Plankton said, thinking of a plan.
    Moments later, a tire rolled down the cliff toward the Chum Bucket. When it reached the bottom of the cliff, it kept going, rolling right into the middle of a group of guards.
    â€œWell, what do we have here?” asked one guard.
    The guards pulled out some wooden sticks and metal rods and started beating the tire!
    Behind them, SpongeBob and Plankton sneaked over to the Chum Bucket, hidden in a stack of tires. “We’d better hurry,” SpongeBob whispered. “Those guys really hate tires!”
    Plankton tried to open a small door, but it was locked. “We’ll never get in!” he cried. “The door’s locked!”
    â€œA team doesn’t give up that easily,” SpongeBob reassured him. “Let me take a closer look.”
    SpongeBob climbed out of the stack of tires and examined the side of the Chum Bucket more carefully. When he looked up, he saw an open window.
    â€œThere!” he said. “That window’s open! C’mon, Plankton. Time for some real teamwork. Gimme a boost.”
    â€œOkay …,” Plankton said uncertainly. Then he saw SpongeBob’s shiny black shoe coming down at him. “Wait a minute! NO!”
    Plankton tried with all his might to hold up SpongeBob by his shoe, but he just didn’t have enough strength.
SQUISH!
    Not realizing what had happened, SpongeBob was still straining to reach the open window. “Just … a … little … higher, Plankton,” he said. Then he realized Plankton wasn’t answering him. “Plankton?”
    When SpongeBob lifted his shoe and looked at itssole, he saw Plankton flattened across it.
    â€œWhy don’t YOU boost ME up instead?” Plankton suggested sensibly.
    â€œOh, yeah,” SpongeBob said. “Good thinking!”
    SpongeBob lifted his shoe up to the open window and scraped Plankton off. Groaning, Plankton landed on the windowsill. Then he jumped through the window into the Chum Bucket. As soon as he hit the floor, he ran to the small door and opened it.
    â€œCome on, SpongeBob!” he whispered intensely. “Come on!”
    SpongeBob squeezed through the small door and into the restaurant. “We’re
