[SpongeBob ends his shift at the Krusty Krab, not realizing that everyone's gone.]
Slow day. Good night Squidward. Good night Mr. Krabs.
[Door opens, revealing that Mr. Krabs is not in there. Cuts back to SpongeBob's house at night.]
Gary, I'm home! Gary? You here buddy? [walks into the kitchen, realizing that the big pile of food is still there] Gary? [gasps] He hasn't touched his food! [runs over to Squidward's house screaming, and then pounds frantically on the door] SQUIDWARD! OPEN UP! [door opens by itself] Squidward, Have you seen Gary?! He's gone missing! [no answer] Squidward? Not a sign of Squidward anywhere. Squidward? [walks upstairs] You up here? Hmm, Squidward's clarinet. [puts the clarinet in his mouth a few times] It's not even warm. SQUIDWARD'S MISSING TOO! [runs over to Patrick's house] PATRICK! Open up! Squidward and Gary are missing!
[SpongeBob lifts up Patrick's rock, revealing that there's nobody there.]
[shocked] Patrick's gone too. What if everybody's gone?
[SpongeBob runs out of the theater, he grabs an ax and looks for Boaty, he sees a bus coming toward him, SpongeBob strikes at it with his axe. The bus stops, and everyone in Bikini Bottom steps out]
You're all still alive? Well, where did you go?
It was National No SpongeBob Day!
"National No SpongeBob Day"?
Yeah. A whole day dedicated to getting away from you!
A day? But you guys have been gone for weeks!
Uhh... heh heh, yeah well... we kinda milked it a little.
[Patrick comes out of the bus, he has balloons and a t-shirt with SpongeBob crossed out on it, SpongeBob sees this and gasps in shock]
Yeah. Everyone needs at least one day away from... [laughs like SpongeBob imitating his face]
[sadly] I'm... glad you had fun. [sobs]
Aww, cheer up, boy. It's a whole day inspired by you.
Of course! [cut to a scene of everyone in Bikini Bottom except SpongeBob around a SpongeBob made of wood] First, we build a giant wooden effigy of you, then we burn it to the ground. [the citizens burn it] Whoo-hoo! Burn, baby! [cut to everyone dancing on the ashes of the effigy] And dance on the ashes like there was no tomorrow. [cut back to the present time]
Wow. A whole day dedicated to me! [blushes]
Big deal. Wait 'til you see "No Patrick Day"! Come on, everyone. Let's go!
[Everyone gets back on the bus. SpongeBob knocks Patrick off when he tries to get on. The bus drives off and Patrick immediately forgets what happened and what he said]
Where'd everybody go? Hello? Hello [looks around and the episode ends as a heartbeat is faintly heard]
