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.

What is with the Sunrider reference?

Sunrider? I honestly have no idea what you're talking about.

"Rainbow Dash, I can't possibly have a crush on him! He's an OC!" said Pinkie.

I can't believe I forgot about that bit.:rainbowlaugh: Good, we probably don't need that much (more) romantic drama.

"I'mma firin' mah layzor!" She said, then passed out on the ground.

This is a quote a character makes in the PC game Sunrider when firing her mech's lasers. Game is free on Steam.

Oh, that! That's actually a reference to a YouTube series called The Lazer Collection. Maybe one was referencing another and I didn't realize it.

Isn't that the same name as the Star Tracker in Equestria who's a fan of Twilight Sparkle?

Pinkie panted, her heart beating a mile a minute from Star Tracker's sudden appearance right next to her. "I think I just had a mini-heart attack!" She said between pants. She would have thought this was funny, but she can't remember the last time she was so startled by something! Several moments later, she finally caught her breath. She sighed heavily. "That wasn't very fun..." She said, sounding upset.

You think maybe others ever feel the same way, Pinks?

Nice to see Pinkie’s not totally oblivious. Poor girl (and poor Star).:fluttershysad: I wondered what issues she could have to text about aside from another nightmare, but this could qualify.

...Though how did someone know to come pick up Star Tracker right then and there?:rainbowhuh:

9016492
Yeah.... I think that's the first plothole I've made. :ajsleepy:

Maudalina Daisy Pie

wait wut

Well, that nightmare felt less apocalyptic and more tied into the present events than the others- not that that makes Pinkie need a good hug any less. Still, that’s at least 4/7 who aren’t really in the middle of ongoing crises, so it’s a slight relief.

I wanted to tone the nightmares down a few notches, but still have them have an impact on the characters. =)

"Hi, Pinkie Pie." He said. "My name is Star Tracker, and I'm your biggest fan!"

Oh dear God, this guy? :rainbowlaugh: I did not expect that - I thought it was just Twilight he was a stalker of! XD

Okay, even though its the fourth, and I never read the ones before, I understand what's going on (more or less)

9040333
If you do get confused, you can always read the other ones. They all take place on the same day. =)

9040352
Ah. So alot has happened quickly

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!

Pinkie Pie hummed a tune to herself as she glided through the sky, keeping her eyes peeled for Golden Crossbow. Nope. He doesn't seem to be anywhere ! She sighed, popping all of her balloons. Her eyes widened as she realized her mistake and flailed her arms in a panic. She screamed as she plummeted toward the ground, then snapped her fingers as realization struck her. She kicked downward with all of her might, causing the sound of a car hitting the brakes to echo in her vicinity. She landed safely on the ground. Smiling with satisfaction, she took a step forward, tripping over a rock.

That was too close! :fluttershyouch:

Star Tracker's mouth gaped open. After a few moments of silence, he spoke. "I find that kind of hard to believe." He said.

You get used to it after a while. :ajsmug:

"Oh, gosh!" Pinkie said, her face red with embarrassment. "Are you okay? I think I got a teensy-weensy bit carried away there." She giggled nervously.

A little too far if you ask me. :ajbemused:

Pinkie's eyes widened even further, then she launched herself into the air. " WHAAAAAT?! " She screamed as she rocketed skyward, then plummeted downward with a thud. She felt a hand pick her up off of the ground, but she was far too dazed to register who or what it was that helped her. "I'mma firin' mah layzor!" She said, then passed out on the ground.

That was... odd? :unsuresweetie:

Pinkie yelped, jumping a foot in the air. Standing right next to her was Star Tracker.

Stalking ain't cool dude. :twilightangry2:

Pinkie waved her hand in front of his face, but to no avail. She put her hands on her hips and rolled her eyes, slightly irritated. She leaned towards Star Tracker and cupped her hands to her mouth. " Twilight Sparkle! " She yelled, then blushed with embarrassment. Whoopsie! She thought. Wrong Script! " Star Tracker! " She said, correcting herself.

Does that count as a fourth wall break? :applejackconfused:

Pinkie glared at the rock and shook her fist at it, hoping Maud was nowhere near her. Her older sister was quite protective of any and all rocks. "Curse you, foul rock! You will never again trip up another innocent! I hereby sentence you to Maudalina Daisy Pie's Rock Reformation Sessions!" She picked up the offending rock. "Being an inanimate object doesn't give you the right to cause others pain." She held the rock mere inches from her face. "You will learn the error of your ways!" Her expression softened. "You have a good, long life ahead of you. I have friends who've made some pretty big mistakes in their life, and they turned around to be some of the best people I know." She started tearing up. "I'm sorry, I always get emotional during this part of the speech..." She sniffled.

Aaaaaand now it's gotten weirder. :ajbemused:

Pinkie saluted her older sister. "Ma'am, yes sir!"

Yes ma'am would've been better imo. :duck:

Star Tracker stared at the two sisters, thoroughly confused. How on earth are those two related ?! He thought. Probably not a good idea to dwell on it. It might make me crazy if I did. He smiled and rolled his eyes, putting the matter to rest. He felt his phone buzz, and he checked the time. His eyes widened in panic. Gah! I completely lost track of time! He took a deep breath and exhaled, feeling his anxiety creep up on him. Well, Star Tracker...it's now or never. He walked up to Pinkie Pie. "Pinkie?" he asked, getting her attention. She looked at him, causing his face to heat up. Quickly regaining his composure with another deep breath and exhale, he spoke again. "Can I speak to you for a moment. Alone?"

I wonder the same thing all the time. :unsuresweetie:

"Pinkie Pie, heartbreak is a part of life." Said Maud. "There will be times you'll have to break a heart, and there will be times your heart will be broken. It can be a painful experience for both parties involved, but it's also an essential experience." She cupped Pinkie's chin. "It's part of growing up, and like growing up everybody goes through it."

Yeah... :fluttercry:

Pinkie began walking up the stairs, and a fresh pang of sadness hit her from out of nowhere. She sighed heavily, and her hair deflated only slightly. She went up the stairs at a slower pace, still feeling bad about breaking Star Tracker's heart. I hope I never have to do something like that again. She thought as she made her way into her bedroom. She flopped onto her bed, then sighed heavily once more. She slowly fell asleep.

You probably will Pinkie. :fluttershysad:
