finding home

In the Medieval Era, Bikini Bottomshire was under the rule of King Krabs (ancestor of Eugene H. Krabs) and was under attack by the evil wizard, Planktonomor (ancestor of Sheldon J. Plankton). SpongeBob SquarePants and Patrick Star were transported to this time after a jousting accident. They were expected to arrive in this era because of a prophecy. According to Princess Pearl, the prophecy was that they (SpongeBob and Patrick) were the ones to save the kingdom. Princess Pearl (daughter of King Krabs) was kidnapped by Planktonomor's fire-breathing jellyfish, and taken hostage at Planktonomore's tower. Fulfilling the prophecy, SpongeBob and Patrick saved Princess Pearl and defeated Planktonomor. Later, during a parade celebrating SpongeBob and Patrick's heroic deeds, King Krabs invented the Krabby Patty, which would be passed down through the Krabs family, the formula being kept secret.^[6]

Even later, somewhere around the 18th century in Old West, one of Plankton's ancestor, Dead-Eye Plankton, takes over Bikini Gulch and renames it Dead-Eye Gulch. A big western-style show down happens between Dead-Eye Plankton, and SpongeBob's Ancestor, SpongeBuck SquarePants.

On November 30, 1942, Eugene H. Krabs was born, along with the birth-friend, Sheldon J. Plankton.^[9] In his childhood, he immediately became a financial genius as he is known today. In 1947, his father gave him a dollar, which he loved dearly. However, he spent it on a soda, which was upsetting to him. Soon, he went to Poseidon Elementary. The two opened up a restaurant and, after accidentally knocking Old Man Jenkins out with their tainted patty, they had an argument and became bitter rivals. Not long after, a war occurred, in which the events are unknown. After the war, Mr. Krabs fell into a deep depression, which seemed endless; however, a bankrupt retirement home, gave him hope. Mr. Krabs decided to buy the building and rename it, marking the establishment of the Krusty Krab. The financial success of the Krusty Krab took off and became a premier eating facility in Bikini Bottom.

In the present time, Bikini Bottom has had various occurrences of destruction. In "Dying for Pie", a bomb pie fell on Squidward's face, causing a nuclear explosion (with Squidward dead center). In "Sandy, SpongeBob, and the Worm", an Alaskan Bull Worm struck Bikini Bottom, which made Sandy hunt it down. Bikini Bottom was moved away, but the worm crushed it. In "Wormy", while Sandy was out of town, SpongeBob and Patrick were given the duty of taking care of her pets, one of which was a caterpillar named Wormy. Wormy grew into a butterfly overnight, which caused SpongeBob and Patrick to freak out, thinking Wormy is dead. They then proceeded to cause a mass hysteria that lead to the city's destruction. Global warming also took effect in the short, "The Endless Summer." Then another atomic explosion happened when SpongeBob set his nuclear cleaning gun to maximum power in "The Krusty Plate".

Years later, Mr. Krabs opened a second restaurant, named the "Krusty Krab 2." Plankton initiated his evil Plan Z, and stole King Neptune's crown, thereby framing Mr. Krabs. He was frozen because of this; however, SpongeBob and Patrick set out toward Shell City to retrieve Neptune's crown, and then saved the day. These events are depicted in the SpongeBob SquarePants film.^[10]

In the future, the jellyfish will migrate every year to a spot in Jellyfish Fields, as seen in "SpongeHenge," SpongeBob built five porus stone decoys that make the same sound he does when it is windy, but apparently the people of Bikini Bottom would soon forget who made them, and claim that they "do not know who built these or for what reason". This is potentially a rather intriguing reference, as these statues have a similar background to the infamous Easter Island statues (which appear in the show themselves, in the form of Squidward's house). Even further in the future, around the year 4017, everything will be made of chrome, and whatever isn't gets sprayed with chrome paint. Also, time travel will have been invented, and SpongeTron, distant relative of SpongeBob, will have 486 clones. Three of the clones have names SpongeTrons X, Y, and Z.

Many more years later, it is revealed that SpongeBob and Squidward are still alive as skeletons. They are still working at the Krusty Krab to make up for the damage SpongeBob caused in "Squid on Strike". It appears as though they have switched jobs, as SpongeBob is behind the cash register. The Krusty Krabs appears to be worn down, and the use of chrome seems to have been forgotten.
