SpongeBob and Patrick in boating school.

SpongeBob is getting ready for boating school. When he is opening the door, Patrick is there. SpongeBob tells him that he has to go to boating school. Patrick does not like to wait until SpongeBob comes back, so SpongeBob tells Patrick that he can come with him to boating school. Patrick agrees and SpongeBob introduces him to his school. Then SpongeBob tells him about the "Good Noodle" stars (which are for every time you do something good academically and for behavior) and writes down Patrick’s name so he can start collecting them. When class starts, Patrick gets SpongeBob into lots of trouble, which results in one of SpongeBob's golden stars taken off. SpongeBob faints, and Patrick responds by saying "Mrs. Puff, is it nap-time?" Mrs. Puff sends everybody to recess. Later, SpongeBob and Patrick have to go to detention because they were fighting (not really) during recess. After having a fight in the hallway, they are sent to detention, where they shout out how much they hate each other. But when SpongeBob says "I hate you even if the light that's keeping Roger (a science project) alive went out," it goes out. When SpongeBob and Patrick realize, that Roger is going to freeze to death, they spring into action. After saving Roger, Mrs. Puff comes in and says she saw everything through her one way chalkboard. As a reward, they each get one gold star. Patrick later leaves when he finally realizes he is in boating school because he thought he was in Spanish class and when Patrick says goodbye to Mrs. Puff she calls her “big fat meanie”. After this, Roger finally hatches from the egg and says " Hey, what did I miss!
