Sandy's Vacation in Ruins

(on a bus)
SpongeBob: (turns around to Sandy) I can't wait to see the ancient rains. I even brought an umbrella. (shows umbrella)
Sandy: (takes the umbrella and tosses it behind her) Ancient ruins...not rains. (bus stops and everyone gets out to take pictures of the ancient ruins)
SpongeBob: Gee, Sandy, I can't wait to see the inside. (cut to inside of the ruins)
Sandy: Behold the Uncharted Ruins of Lumeria. Now remember, SpongeBob. This placed is filled with delicate artifacts. Don't touch anything!
SpongeBob: Hey, look! An ancient Lumerian toilet plunger. (pulls back on it and it glows, revealing a portal through the wall) Sorry. (both walk through the portal) This place sure is a brain twister.
Sandy: I'm losing track on which way is up in here.
SpongeBob: Oh, I'd say up is... (licks finger and puts it above his head then points behind him) ...that way.
Sandy: Up is that way?
SpongeBob: Yup.
Sandy: Then that means... (place turns upside down) Oh, boy... (both fall through the portal, screaming, but stop mid-air before hitting the ground. SpongeBob is still screaming) Uh... we're ok, SpongeBob!
SpongeBob: Oh, ok. (both walk through a doorway) Wow!
Sandy: Oh! (sees a green model of something) Looks like some sort of control module. Or maybe a holographic projector! (Sandy's hands causes something to react) Whoops! Well, I guess we're going to find out what this doohickey does. (the hat on top of the model opens up and up comes a diamond)
SpongeBob: Ooh! Purdy...!
Sandy: (stops him from touching it) SpongeBob, no! (the diamond shoots a laser across the room then straight up into a bigger diamond that causes two other lasers to connect in the middle of the room)
SpongeBob: What's it doing? (two cylinder blocks join together in the middle)
Sandy: This place sure for unfriendly in a hurry. (three balls shoot out at SpongeBob and Sandy) Duck! (they do and the ball connect to some blue noses and then form into a creature with robotic legs)
SpongeBob: Aww, look! Cute! (the creatures shoot a beam that surrounds both Sandy and SpongeBob) Kind of reminds me of bubble blowing. (they hover through a hole in the ceiling and into another room)
Sandy: Whoa! What is this place?
Creature #1: You not stand in the most secret place in all Lumeria.
SpongeBob: (staring at a molecule model in a hoop) Mesmerizing.
Creature #1: I see that you are an art lover. The sculpture of sphere laser dichotomy, it really holds the room together.
Sandy: I didn't realize the Lumerians were a race of robots.
Creature #1: Not originally. (flashback to the creatures using plungers) The Lumerians actually created us as a legion of janitor bots and that's what we did until the great disaster. (a flash of light comes and goes) But when we realized that we were the only survivors we took it upon ourselves to maintain the technology and customs of the once great civilization. That's not to say that it's been easy. It's been a couple of millennia.
SpongeBob: (still staring at the molecule sculpture) Ooh! Really, really mesmerizing. (touches the molecule and it explodes causing everything else to shake and crumble)
Creature #1: You fool. What have you done? We told you. It really holds the room together.
SpongeBob: Sorry! I didn't think you meant it literally! (view of outside as the ruins collapse and everyone gasps)
Narrator: Two days later...
SpongeBob: Gee, I feel bad for those poor robots. They worked so hard to keep this place clean.
Sandy: Speaking of which. (points over to the creatures roasting a weenie over a fire)
Creature #1: Those two idiots...
SpongeBob: Oh, please forgive me, robots! I didn't mean to ruin your ruins.
Creature #1: Oh, what's the point? Our way of life has been destroyed. We no longer have a purpose. Looks like a good place to just dry out in the sun. (pop their faces off onto the ground)
SpongeBob: Hey, hey! Don't be down. I know just the thing to get you out of this funk. (cut to Krusty Krab where SpongeBob & Mr. Krabs open the bathroom door and see the robots cleaning)
How's it going, guys?
Creature #2: Wonderful!
Creature #3: Very fulfilled!
Creature #1: Thank you. You have restored our dignity.
Mr. Krabs: Eh, how much are these tin cans going to cost me?
SpongeBob: Not a penny. They're just doing what they were made to do.
Mr. Krabs: No thanks, SpongeBob. I'm already not paying you to clean the toilets.
SpongeBob: Aw! But Mr. Krabs, I did accidentally destroy their way of life.
Mr. Krabs: (laughs) Just foolin', Sonny. And besides why would I start saying no to free labor now? (SpongeBob, Mr. Krabs, and the robots laugh)
