Sunny and her friends couldn't remember much of anything after the time machine flashed a bright white light in their faces-- all they did remember was a sick feeling in their guts, feeling dizzy and being blinded with lights of many different shades and colors.

Finally, the ride was over, and SpongeBob and Plankton quickly led the ponies out into a blowing sandstorm, shielding their eyes with their arms and hooves. "Agh!! Oh..." Pipp whined as she got dust in her mane. "If only sand wasn't so sandy-- then it wouldn't get in my mane so easily!"

"Save your 'redesigning sand' comments for later, Pipp!" Misty said with a frown. "We don't know how far back or forward we went, so we have to start from scratch!"

"According to my calculations," Plankton said over the howling winds, stopping at a certain point, "the Krusty Krab should be right here!"

SpongeBob could have sworn he saw something sticking out from one of the sand dunes, and covered his eyes as he pointed over to it. "What's that? Over there?"

The object turned around and it was revealed to be Patrick! But Patrick was much, much older, with a long beard of light gray. "SpongeBob...?!"

"Patrick?!"

"Is it really you and those seahorses?"

"Yes, Patrick," Zipp nodded, despite being called seahorses again, "it's--"

"Finally!" Patrick cried out. "The Great Krabby Patty Famine is over!"

"Great Krabby Patty Famine?!" Pipp cried, startled, looking around in panic. "Wha-- what year is this?!"

"It's Thursday," Patrick dumbly responded, and Plankton inserted some information into the device he was holding. "According to my calculations, we've only gone four days into the future."

"Where is everypony?" Misty asked, seeing no one else around. "They all gave up on you. But not me! Cause I'm not very smart," Patrick said, knocking against his head. SpongeBob strangely knew that, but there was one other thing he failed to notice. "Where is the Krusty Krab?!"

"Right where it's always been!"

A gust of wind blew away sand from underneath Patrick, revealing that he was sitting on the Krusty Krab's old sign. SpongeBob felt his entire world crumble as he gasped, and they ran back toward the time machine and climbed in, allowing the ponies the chance to comfort SpongeBob. "Covered... in... sand," SpongeBob panted shakingly. "Gone... forever! Oh, Sunny! We have to save it!!"

"We will. We just need to keep trying," Sunny promised, purring her hoof on SpongeBob's hand in comfort. "But, if trying results in us going back to ancient Equestria and seeing the Guardians of Harmony in real life, I wouldn't mind it!"

"Eh, sorry, Sunny. I'm not sure how much power this time machine has," Plankton frowned, causing Sunny to slightly pout. "It can take us back and forth, but we can't go to alternate dimensions AND back in time all at once."

Sunny was a little disappointed, but remembered their mission all the same. "Hey-- it was worth a shot. Let's get back on the time circuit."

Zipp activated the machine, and pretty soon, after a little while of time traveling, it finally stopped, and Izzy and Hitch pushed open the curtain. Turns out... they were in a lush jungle, causing them to look around. "Where are we...?" Hitch wondered as they looked around, just as SpongeBob spotted Patrick nearby. "Oh, there's Patrick! Hey, Patrick!"

But as they got a closer look, the 'Patrick' they thought they saw had a huge dinosaur body and a freakishly long neck. "It's a Patrick-a-saurus!!" Izzy screamed. "Maybe we went a little too far back!!"
