mine’s moving,” Plankton observed.
    â€œMine too!” SpongeBob added.
    â€œThis doesn’t seem right,” Plankton said. “Should we call Bubbles?”
    â€œLet’s give him a minute. He’s been holding it for ten thousand years.”
    BOOM!
The two planets crashed into each other and exploded! Little pieces of the planets fell all around Plankton and SpongeBob. “I’m pretty sure THAT wasn’t supposed to happen!” SpongeBob gasped. “C’mon, Plankton! We’ve gotta clean this up before Bubbles getsback!” He tried to sweep the debris under the carpet with a broom.
    Bubbles came back. “Ah, much better, yes,” he said, smiling. “You two are free to go….” But then he noticed the dirt and pebbles on the floor. He also noticed SpongeBob’s broom. “What have you done?” He looked up in the sky. “What happened to Saturn and Jupiter? You were supposed to keep them from smashing into each other!”
    â€œSorry!” SpongeBob said.
    â€œNow I’m going to lose my job!” Bubbles cried. He stared at SpongeBob and Plankton. “And YOU will lose your LIVES!”
    Bubbles fired lasers at SpongeBob and Plankton!
ZAP! ZAP!
They turned and ran away, screaming. They headed for the time machine.
    â€œQuarter me!” SpongeBob yelled. Plankton tossed him a quarter, but SpongeBob missed it! It landed near the time machine.
    SpongeBob and Plankton dove into the machine. SpongeBob reached out, snatched the quarter, and dropped it into the slot.
VRROOM! WHIRR!
    Inside the time machine, Plankton said, “Okay, so the RED button wasn’t right, either….”
    â€œLet’s be scientific about this!” SpongeBob said. He stared at the complicated control panel. “Eeny, meeny,miney, mo!”
    He pushed a button.
VRRRRROOOOMMM!

    Back in the not-very-distant past, Past SpongeBob walked into Mr. Krabs’s office. He gasped when he saw the open safe. “Plankton?” he said.
    Past Plankton heard SpongeBob and turned around, knocking over the fake formula bottle with the real formula bottle. “SpongeBob!” he cried.
    FLASH!
The time machine appeared in a burst of light, distracting Past Plankton and Past SpongeBob.
    Plankton stepped out of the time machine.
    â€œPlankton?” asked Past SpongeBob, confused.
    SpongeBob stepped out of the time machine.
    â€œSpongeBob?” asked Past Plankton, equally confused. “Who are you two supposed to be?”
    â€œI’m you, from the future,” Plankton explained.
    SpongeBob pointed toward his past self with his thumb. “And I’m HIM, from the future.”
    â€œSo you traveled back through time to help me?” Past Plankton asked. “Great thinking!”
    SpongeBob shook his head. “Nope,” he said. “He’s helping ME!”
    â€œBut he’s the enemy!” Past SpongeBob gasped.
    â€œWAS the enemy!” SpongeBob corrected. “Now we’re a TEAM!”
    â€œA what?” Past Plankton asked. “A
tee-am
?”
    â€œA TEAM!” Plankton corrected him. He turned to SpongeBob. “All right. Go get the formula!”
    â€œAll right, Plankton!” his teammate answered. SpongeBob ran toward the safe.
    Past SpongeBob couldn’t believe what he was seeing. “What have I become?” he asked.

A s SpongeBob groped in the safe, trying to take the bottle with the secret formula from Past Plankton, his past self talked to Plankton.
    â€œDo you have flying boatmobiles in the future?” he asked.
    â€œWe only came back from the day after tomorrow, nitwit,” Plankton said scornfully.
    â€œDid they outlaw clothes in the future?” Past SpongeBob asked.
    â€œNo!” Plankton snapped.
    â€œThen why are you naked?”
    â€œBecause they don’t make clothes in my size,” Plankton explained.
    SpongeBob kept trying to grab Past Plankton, but Past
