SpongeBob heads to the Krusty Krab but ends up creating a mishap that results in getting two dollars fried and reduced to bits, with a furious Mr. Krabs kicking him out of the restaurant and like the others did, Mr. Krabs calls SpongeBob "Idiot Boy". SpongeBob decides to leave Bikini Bottom and tells Gary that he has a year's supply of snail food to eat since SpongeBob will not be there to feed him. After leaving Bikini Bottom, he is frightened by bizarre people and as he runs in fear, SpongeBob falls off a cliff and bumps his head, knocking himself unconscious. Back in Bikini Bottom, Patrick and Sandy enter SpongeBob's house and Sandy finds that Gary's food bowl has a note from SpongeBob, saying he has left so that he will not bother anyone ever again. After Sandy reads it, she and Patrick show remorse. Meanwhile, SpongeBob wakes up with amnesia. He sees two fishes who have found his clothes and express interest in using them; SpongeBob mentions that he cannot remember anything except hitting his head, so the fish tell him that his name is "CheeseHead BrownPants". However, they run away when they find out SpongeBob has a bottle of bubble soap. He wonders what the problem was and spots New Kelp City. Sandy and Patrick arrive at the Krusty Krab where customers have gathered, angered about not getting their orders, Sandy then shows the note from SpongeBob to Mr. Krabs. After he reads it, they all become upset about making him leave (except for Squidward who is happy about SpongeBob being gone). Mr. Krabs has the customers leave the restaurant, so that he and the other can decide on how to find SpongeBob. SpongeBob wanders around New Kelp City and upon getting accused of pickpocketing by a civilian and noticing his hunger, decides he needs to get a job. Each time he gets a job however, he uses bubble blowing, resulting in him getting fired. Back in Bikini Bottom, after Squidward (who is determent to not see SpongeBob again) destroys a device that Sandy made to find SpongeBob, Mr. Krabs orders him to look for SpongeBob. Squidward refuses at first but changes his mind when Mr. Krabs prompts him with his retirement gift: a Fabergé egg. SpongeBob's activity with blowing bubbles, brings up a confrontation with "the Bubble Poppin' Boys", a greaser-like gang who have scared the city into never blowing bubbles because they keep being blinded by the bubbles whenever they pop. After they attack, SpongeBob uses his bubble blowing to trap the gang in a giant bubble that flies them out of town. He is rewarded by getting the position of mayor of New Kelp City. Sandy, Patrick, and Squidward arrive at a gas station and from reading a newspaper article, discover SpongeBob's appointment as mayor of New Kelp City. But when they go to New Kelp City to retrieve him, SpongeBob cannot remember who they are. Squidward hi-jinks SpongeBob's limousine and gets away from the city with SpongeBob, Patrick and Sandy in tow and they return to the Krusty Krab. SpongeBob still does not recall the eatery and wants to return to New Kelp City to resume his job as mayor. Delighted that SpongeBob is leaving again, Squidward requests for his jewel encrusted egg but slips and accidentally throws the egg onto SpongeBob's head, which causes his memory to come back. But even so, SpongeBob still wants to return to New Kelp City. He changes his mind after a breaking news report comes on, saying that the bubbles in New Kelp City are blinding the citizens, and a thug threatens to do something to SpongeBob if he ever comes back. SpongeBob starts cooking Krabby Patties again, much to his friends' delight. With a sigh of happiness, SpongeBob says that it looks like he will be back in Bikini Bottom. Upon hearing this, Squidward takes out his brain and drops it in a trash can. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「WhoBob WhatPants?」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
