Characters[]

Synopsis[]

Squidward arrives at the Krusty Krab as happy as ever because of his upcoming clarinet recital. He repeatedly gets pummeled, such as Incidental 64's morning breath punching him in the face, or getting the door slammed on him, but since his clarinet is safe in a suitcase, he is happy. But when Incidental 46 comes to the Krusty Krab, and her baby drools on the clarinet, Squidward becomes furious. He demands Mr. Krabs to give him a place to store his stuff, Mr. Krabs gives him his Navy locker, and SpongeBob single-handedly cleans it.

He stores his toothbrush in the locker, while Squidward puts his clarinet in it, not risking it getting soiled before his presentation. While Squidward is going through his daily routines, he discovers SpongeBob is always doing something to the locker. In fear for his clarinet, he goes to see what happens, and leaves change on the floor when he was giving it to a customer. Just then, Mr. Krabs jumps out wildly and acts like a gorilla, scaring everyone away from the loose change.

"My clarinet!"

When Squidward crawls inside the locker, it is revealed that SpongeBob had converted it into a whole room, and the second time he visits it, he finds his clarinet gone, as SpongeBob relocated it elsewhere, and goes looking for it. He discovers a small door near the floor and crawls through it, only to enter a mysterious forest made of clarinets. He spots his clarinet just before he is picked up by a large eagle head, "The Keeper" of the Horned Forest, or Clarinetland, who tells him to learn respect, to grant peace to clarinets, and that a clarinet cannot be owned. Feeling intimidated, he claims he has learned respect and tries to escape, but "The Keeper” refuses to believe him and swallows him.

"Hmm... I was just going to bring his clarinet."

Squidward then finds himself chasing SpongeBob for his clarinet into a giant pinball machine, where a gigantic Patrick finds Squidward as a prize. Patrick later says it is a giant vacuum cleaner called "The Pressure" that is doing all of this. Suddenly, the vacuum sucks up Squidward and explodes. Squidward is now finding himself chasing SpongeBob literally through space, finally grabs him, and returns to inside the locker. Mr. Krabs and SpongeBob return to the kitchen, and Squidward realizes that it was just a dream. SpongeBob reveals to Squidward that he had the clarinet the whole time after seeing Squidward upset. Before Squidward goes to the presentation, he locks SpongeBob into the locker as payback for stealing his clarinet. However, at the presentation, he finds SpongeBob in his case, and runs from the stage right before the presentation, revealing that SpongeBob was just giving him the clarinet.
