Synopsis[]
SpongeBob and Patrick are ready to go jellyfishing, but Patrick suggests they look at the weather first. The weatherman says that there will be a terrible storm. SpongeBob and Patrick hear this, and they start covering the windows and front door with wooden boards. Squidward hears this, so he bursts into SpongeBob's house. SpongeBob and Patrick tell him there will be a storm, but Squidward doesn't believe them. He walks away, but then lightning strikes him and he walks back into SpongeBob's house. The three then start playing games like tic tac toe, but they say you need to play rock, paper, scissors to see who goes first, and they all do paper. Later, they play with a jigsaw puzzle, and Patrick has to put the last piece of the puzzle, but it's too hard for him. Squidward says it can only go one place, but SpongeBob said that was cheating. Squidward then comes up with a game called "Boundaries" where Squidward would stay on his side of the boundary and SpongeBob and Patrick couldn't cross a line he drew. When Squidward gets on his side, he realizes that he's starving. He then finds a bag of food, but its snail food. He tries to get downstairs to the fridge, but SpongeBob is in a border guard uniform, and won't let Squidward cross. Squidward then runs to the fridge, and takes all the food.
But SpongeBob leaps on him, and they bump into Patrick. Then, SpongeBob, Squidward, and Patrick are all scrambling for food. Squidward then thinks that the storm stopped, and he runs out of SpongeBob's house and falls off SpongeBob's house, which was on top of a tornado.
