Pinkie Pie blinked in surprise. "Huh. That's odd." She said. "I don't think I've ever seen you around here before, and I know pretty much everyone in the neighborhood!" She scratched her head in confusion.
Star Tracker blushed. "I usually keep to myself. I'm kind of an awkward person." He smiled nervously.
"Wait." Pinkie said, her eyes widening. "How did you find out where I live?" She eyed him suspiciously.
"Well," Said Star Tracker, "I simply told people that I wanted a tour of the neighborhood, and they all pointed me to your place!" His nervous smile seemed to become a permanent fixture on his face.
"And how did you know I give tours?" Pinkie asked, narrowing her eyes.
"Because I saw you give one to someone yesterday. What was his name...Golden Something?" Said Star Tracker.
Pinkie's eyes lit up. "Golden Crossbow!" She said excitedly.
"Yeah!" Said Star Tracker. "That's him."
"Have you seen him?! I've been looking for him all over the place?" Pinkie asked.
"No, I'm sorry I haven't." Said Star Tracker. "But if I do, I'll let you know."
Pinkie gave Star Tracker a smile and a hug, causing the latter's face to turn bright red from blushing. "Thanks!"
"Don't mention it." Star Tracker said weakly, awed that he received a hug from his idol. He sighed happily with a big goofy grin on his face as he wiped some sweat off of his brow.
"So." Said Pinkie. "If you're a fan of mine, does that mean you like my parties?" She asked.
"Actually, I'm also a huge fan of the Rainbooms." Star Tracker said. "I was there at the Battle of the Bands when I saw you and the others battle the sirens." Star Tracker blinked. "But now that I think about it, Twilight changed her look shortly after Sunset joined the band. Was that an image thing or something?"
Pinkie Pie laughed. "No, silly! Those were different Twilights!"
Star Tracker gave Pinkie a look of confusion. "So you're saying that Twilight has an identical twin sister who's also named Twilight? That doesn't make sense."
Pinkie laughed again. "Of course not. The Twilight from the Battle of the Bands is a pony princess from an alternate world called Equestria! The Twilight that's singing in the band now is from this world!" She said in an almost matter-of-fact tone.
Star Tracker's mouth gaped open. After a few moments of silence, he spoke. "I find that kind of hard to believe." He said.
Pinkie shrugged. "Dunno what to tell you. It's the truth." Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed Golden Crossbow just walking off in the distance. "Tell you what, Star Tracker. We can finish this conversation later. I found who I've been looking for!" She sped off towards Golden.
"Sure thing..." Star Tracker said, blushing again and sighing happily.
Finally we get to see more of what's going on in the present!
Kind of looks like Pinkie's even more obsessed than usual with welcoming the new neighbor... and she's ending up in the middle of a triangle.

No worries! =)
Okay, even though its the fourth, and I never read the ones before, I understand what's going on (more or less)

If you do get confused, you can always read the other ones. They all take place on the same day. =)
And now we have our second cultist: Star Tracker. Because you don't just introduce a new character, then introduce mysterious enemies, then reintroduce a minor character from the show without it all being connected! I'M ONTO YOUR GUN, CHEKHOV!
You get used to it after a while.
