Pineapple Fever

"C'mon Squidward, it'll be fun! While the elements rage outside, we'll snuggle in here and pass the time by playing board games, and playing tic-tac-toe, and drinkin' hot cocoa, and playing tic-tac-toe, and doing jigsaw puzzles, and watchin' TV, and drinkin' hot cocoa, and doing jigsaw puzzles, and playin' board games, and drinkin' hot tea..."

Plot
SpongeBob and Patrick go outside so they can play jellyfishing. However, when they check the weather on TV, it turns out a severe storm will come, forcing them to stay inside. The two start putting boards around the house to protect themselves, but the noise causes Squidward to get hurt while tweezing his eyebrows.

When Squidward comes to his house to complain, SpongeBob, thinking he came to stay safe from the storm, tells him all the things they'll do. When he tries to leave, he gets struck by lightning and all three are stuck in the house.

The three try to pass the time by playing several games. After Squidward gets annoyed by the way SpongeBob and Patrick try to solve a jigsaw puzzle, he tricks them by drawing a line as a boundary and goes to the bedroom. He gets hungry while up there and finds some food to eat, only for it to be snail food. He tries to get more food, but SpongeBob stops him as he won't allow him to cross the chalk line Squidward made.

He escapes anyways and takes all the food in the fridge, leading to all three going crazy over the food. After awhile, Squidward thinks the storm has stopped and runs out, only to fall down a large height as the storm was under SpongeBob's house.
