It was supposed to be an easy way back home. Jump into the quicksand pit, go through the portal to Equestria beneath it, sneak through Ponyville, get to Twilight's Castle's Basement, go through the Magic Mirror, and before she knew it, Sunset and all of her friends and everyone they rescued from that sinking cruise ship would find themselves on the manicured green lawns of Canterlot High.

Instead, they wake up scattered around the quicksand pit, still on the desert tropical island they were trying to escape. Only there isn't a portal to Equestria anymore. And none of them can get a cell phone signal.

And then Bon Bon's phone lights up.

This story is a sequel to Coffee, Donuts, and Moon Princesses

It's been two months since Spike began his monthly visits to Canterlot, his friendship with Luna and Donut Joe growing as his friendships back at home seem to be waning due to the success his Ponyville friends had at the Gala.

Trying to put aside his anxieties for one night, Spike once again goes to hang out with Luna and Joe, but with the donut shop owner away on business, the young dragon takes charge to ensure the pair have a great night anyway.

He just hopes that he doesn't ruin it himself.

Apple Bloom and Scootaloo hold a memorial service, much to Sweetie Belle's chagrin.

Written for the Dialogue Only Contest.
