G5 Adventures in Saving Bikini Bottom: The Sandy Cheeks Movie

Phase 1 and Phase 2 had already been put into effect, and Mr. Krabs, Patrick and Squidward had already been put through a kind of terror they were never gonna forget.

Rambunctious human children who were obsessed with toys.

India, Riverstream and Arctic knew there had to be some sort of way to get a message to Sunny, but they weren't exactly sure how yet.

But that didn't stop them from trying to come up with an idea in the meantime.

Maybe, since Pipp's phone worked so well in big places like this, maybe they could get some sort of signal and send it to Sunny and the others!

However, they had to find a way to get the message through soon... and hope that Phase 3 didn't happen before then.

Zipp and Misty offered to help Ma and Pa Cheeks with the dishes after breakfast was over while everyone else went to do their own thing, and needless to say, Ma Cheeks was very impressed by the ponies' work ethic. “Pa and I appreciate y’all takin’ the time to help with the mornin’ supper dishes, girls,” she smiled. “Ya didn’t have to, ya know.”

“No problem, Mrs. Cheeks,” Misty smiled. “We’re happy to do it, especially after what you’ve done for us here recently.”

“Actually… we wanted to talk to you both while we were alone,” Zipp said, an uneasy frown on her face. “You see… I’m not just a pegasus. I’m also the heiress of Zephyr Heights… a title that my mom uses a lot regularly.”

“And… we noticed here recently that you guys seem to be putting a lot of pressure on Sandy,” added Misty, taking note of their surprised and stunned expressions. “In order to get her back to the circus.”

“Well, of course we are,” Ma Cheeks told them. “She’s our star and we love her. We only want what’s best for her.”

“We know that, and Sandy knows that,” Zipp said. “But, she loves what she does back in Bikini Bottom, and we’re sure you don’t wanna take her away from that. Plus… there’s something else. Do you see the little colt that Rosie and Rowdy are playing with?”

Ma and Pa turned to see Volcano, Rosie and Rowdy playing together, laughing and having a great time while Sandy looked on. “Volcano is in foster care right now,” Misty said. “He’s been through a horrible ordeal with his mother passing away, his father mistreating him and his sister… disappearing when he was little. Sandy is in the process of adopting him, and… she needs to be here for him.”

“Our little nut muffin is takin’ that little colt under her wing?” Pa asked, looking at Ma with surprise. “Why didn’t she say somethin’?”

“Well… adoptions can be really complicated,” Misty said with a frown. “It can take a long time, and Sandy probably didn’t wanna get her hopes up in case it didn’t go through.”

“But you should know… Sandy probably won’t wanna think of Volcano as a son if the adoption goes through,” Zipp added . “Volcano sees her as more of an older sister, or so he’s told me. Take all this into consideration. If Sandy is forced to leave Bikini Bottom and Volcano behind… well… I don’t know if…”

“Zipp! Misty! Everyone!” Sunny cried from the front. “Get up here! We just got a message from India… and it’s urgent!”

This got Zipp, Misty, Volcano and Sandy to look at each other in concern.

What could this be about?

“So, don’t hold us in suspense, Sunny!” Pipp said as the Mane 6, Volcano, SpongeBob, Sandy and Tropic sat in front of the earth pony mare. “What’s India’s message?”

“Yeah,” Hitch nodded. “Are our friends okay?”

“I hope so. Here it is,” Sunny said before clearing her throat and reading. “Sunny, me and the rest of our friends are okay… a lot of Bikini Bottomites are scared, and not even the guardians can reassure them. We could really use some help right now, but there’s something else you should know.”

Sunny was just about to continue when she froze, her eyes widening. “Sunny?” SpongeBob tried to shake her. “What is it?”

Tropic glanced over Sunny’s shoulder to read the rest of the message. “Allura and Twitch are here too! They’re working together with some land witch with blue hair for a top-secret project, and in doing so, she’ll help Allura and Twitch get another star shard. They’re gonna get their revenge on you by getting through to us, we’re sure of it. We need you to hurry as fast as you can to save us… Bikini Bottom… AND Equestria while you’re at it. See you soon… India.”

“What?!” Volcano cried. “Allura’s holding our friends captive?!”

“But I thought y’all totally stopped that pussy-cat!” Sandy argued. “We did… for a while, at least,” Hitch sighed. “But if she gets another star shard, she’ll gain even more power!”

“Enough to create a portal,” Zipp muttered out of horror, “that leads all the way to Equestria!”

“Ohhhhhh this is bad!” Pipp panted out of terror. “So… totally… BAD!!!”

“What are we gonna do, Sunny?” Misty asked. “We can’t let Allura win!”

“I… I wish I knew…” Sunny said, sitting down. “We don’t have the secret to defeating Allura yet, and… we can’t keep fighting her like this.”

“Well, if you want my opinion…”

The Mane 6 gasped as they saw Randy climbing up to them from the driving position. “Oh, sugarcubes, Randy!” Pipp huffed. “How long had you been listening?”

“Hey, just happened to be in the neighborhood, Miss Petals,” Randy said before sitting down next to them. “Sunny, I don’t think your problem is that you haven’t found the secret to beatin’ Allura yet.”

Sunny looked confused. “Then… what is the problem?”

“Well, it sounds to me this Allura is right intimidating, and sometimes, you let her intimidate you and your friends with threats of hurtin’ those you love,” Randy said. “Don’t let her. Take everything she says with a grain of salt.”

“Randy, excuse me for saying so, but… that’s just ridiculous!” Zipp said with a serious frown. “Yeah!” Izzy huffed. “Sunny doesn’t let Allura intimidate her! R-Right, Sunny?”

“...no. He’s actually right, Izzy,” Sunny said, surprising the others greatly. “I do let Allura intimidate me, even when I don’t realize it.”

“...wow,” Pipp blinked. “I didn’t see that coming.”

“But you’re the heroes of Equestria!” Tropic pointed out with a frown. “You’re not scared of anything!”

“...that’s actually not true,” Sunny said, shaking her head in response to the claim. “I’m scared of a lot of things. Being the only alicorn left in Equestria… failing magic… failing my friends. I guess we’ve let Allura under our skins a little too much. We just need to focus on doing OUR best. Not letting her threats get to us. Thanks, Randy. I didn’t know how much I needed to hear that.”

Pipp hummed suspiciously in thought, but didn’t say anything as she and the rest of her friends comforted one another due to the harsh circumstances.

Pa had fallen asleep on the gas pedal after a long while, and Ma Cheeks had fallen asleep while Rowdy and Rosie were painting her nails.

The Mane 6 were playing a game of cards in the passenger seat while Sandy sat with Volcano, rubbing his mane as he tried to get some sleep himself.

Tropic sat up on the dashboard with SpongeBob, and both of them were watching Randy pilot the jalopy. “Hey, Randy?” SpongeBob spoke up. “Will you show me and Tropic how to do the Cheeks Family Whistle like you promised?”

Randy flipped off of the steering wheel and hooked a rope to it, sort of an autopilot, then sat next to SpongeBob and Tropic. “Does Texas chili burn yer mouth?”

“Does it?” Tropic asked the Mane 6 quietly, causing them to look up and nod. “Huh, I guess it does!”

“Well,” Randy began, twisting the fingers on his hand into a strange shape, “just put your fingers in your piehole like so…”

SpongeBob tried to emulate him, but he got his fingers twisted all wrong, and Tropic, well, she didn’t have any fingers, being a pony. “All right, there you go,” Randy encouraged SpongeBob as he put his hand in his mouth. “Now just put your lips together and blow!”

“Come on, SpongeBob… you can do it!” Tropic said. “Just pretend you’re blowing up a giant balloon and it should come naturally.”

SpongeBob chuckled nervously before taking a huge breath and blowing as hard as he could. Unfortunately, as he tried to whistle, everyone suddenly heard the sound of sirens, causing them to react with great shock. “Wow, SpongeBob, nice one!” Izzy said with a smile. “You made your whistle sound just like one of those police sirens!”

Tropic then looked in the rear-view mirror with a bit of fright. “Uh, Izzy? I don’t think that was SpongeBob.”

Upon realizing she might be right, Randy looked in the rear-view mirror and saw a police car on their tail. “Wuh-oh. That’s the fuzz. Hold on, everybody!”

“What?!”

“Oh, no!”

Randy immediately swung down from the dashboard and sped the car up… pressing his foot right up against Pa’s face, waking him with a startle. “Keep your foot off my face! What the heck are you doing, boy?” Pa asked. “We gotta pull over!”

“Sorry, Pa!” Randy apologized. “Can’t nearly do that.”

“Why in the Sam Hill not?”

“Well,” Randy admitted, “I might’ve stashed a load of stolen nuts in the back.”

“Seriously?” Pipp said in a deadpan manner, folding her front hooves. “Dagnabbit, Randy!” Sandy scolded. “You let us off right here!”

“Yeah!” Volcano huffed. “You’re gonna ruin everything!”

“Oh, don’t worry,” Randy said confidently, “I been in lotsa high speed chases, and ain’t never been caught once! I'll get you all there in half the time”

Sandy groaned in exasperation before hopping up and grabbing Tropic and SpongeBob. “Then do it,” she said sternly. “Just make sure you drop me and the ponies off at Galveston before you get hauled off to jail!”

“Well then, hold on tight!” Randy shouted as he steered the jalopy to the dirt road. Tropic whimpered nervously beside SpongeBob, worried that if they got caught, they weren’t going to save their friends from the lab and whatever Allura was planning. “Oooh, that’s funny,” SpongeBob said innocently while pointing ahead. “Looks like we're headed straight for a cliff.”

Everyone aboard began to scream as they realized that they really WERE heading for a cliff. “WHY DOES THIS ALWAYS HAVE TO HAPPEN TO US?!!!” Pipp wailed as the car sailed off the cliff toward the valley below, and everyone screamed once more as they fell through the sky, but thankfully, they were caught by a twister. “What do you know?” Sunny asked with a smile. “This is the same twister that caught us before, SpongeBob!”

SpongeBob waved to some cowboys below, who were eating around a campfire and saying, “beans, beans, beans,” over and over again. This caused SpongeBob to giggle. “This time we're downwind.”

Zipp then caught a whiff of the air, causing her to gag and cover her snout. “Definitely downwind…”

Suddenly, police sirens sounded again, and the gang saw that the police car was in ANOTHER twister, chasing after them. “Oh my pony, will this ever end?!” Pipp groaned in frustration. “If only India were here!” Tropic whimpered. “She’d be able to control the twister and get it to stop!”

“Hmm… maybe we don’t need India!” Sandy said, getting an idea. “You ponies follow me to the roof! We gotta get this twister stabilized!”

Not wanting to waste another second, while Sandy's family took cover, Sandy, SpongeBob and all the other ponies ventured through the tube system to the roof of the jalopy, and once they were there, Sandy broke out her lasso and began to twirl it. “Here's a trick Grandpa Cheeks taught me!”

“Ooh!” SpongeBob smiled. “What happened to him?”

“Uh…” Volcano’s ears pinned back nervously. “Eventually, this trick.”

Sandy swung her lasso out incredibly far, far enough to wrap it around the twister. “Okay, ponies, pull as hard as you can to tighten the lasso!” Volcano shouted to the others. “NOW!!”

Everypony pulled the lasso as tightly as they could, tightening it around the twister. Eventually, it caused the twister in its tracks, but Volcano knew their mere force wouldn't hold it in place for long. “Izzy, Misty! Use your unicorn magic to drop the anchor and keep us from moving!”

Taking this as a direct order, Izzy and Misty grabbed the anchor with their magic, and tossed it down to the ground below. And with the anchor in place, the twister holding the group stayed put while the one carrying the police car flew far out of sight. “Yee-haw!” Randy cheered as the ponies, SpongeBob and Sandy re-entered the jalopy and as they watched the other twister sail out of sight. “Theys moving faster than green grass through a goose! Nice work, sis.”

“Wasn’t just me,” Sandy said with a proud smile on her face, wrapping an arm around Volcano. “This little cow-pony sure took charge out there.”

“Really? Me as a cow-pony?” Volcano blushed nervously. “I-I never thought of myself like that before.”

But that’s when he began to wonder… how good WOULD he be as a cow-pony in Sandy’s family?

The jalopy then drove itself down the twister and back onto the main road, and after a few seconds, SpongeBob spotted another sign off the side of the road. “Galveston, eight miles.”

“Yes!” Tropic cheered as she and SpongeBob spun in celebration. “We’re almost there!”

But no sooner than this was said, a whole horde of police cars and helicopters gave the group chase, causing Tropic to sigh. “I’m really gonna have to stop saying stuff that’s motivational…”

“Gee,” Zipp rolled her eyes, “ya think?”

“Shoot!” Randy growled to himself. “We're gonna have to let you off without stopping.”

“Pull over!” one of the police officers shouted. “We have you surrounded!”

However, Sandy was more concerned with what her brother just said. “What are you talkin’ about?!”

“Sandy!” Pa Cheeks exclaimed from the back of the jalopy. “You and your friends get on back here!”

This caused Tropic, Sandy, SpongeBob and Volcano to look at each other and the Mane 6, worried, mind you, before they all followed Sandy’s family into the back, leaving Randy to drive…

…and hopefully get away from the cops before they were caught.
