Project Simmer Down CYOA Part 1 [Complete]

> Be Nolan North
> Day Project Simmer Down Phase 1
> Prime objective?
> Knock Sunset Shimmer down her high horse.
> Currently though, you're helping Vinyl Scratch set up her equipment in a decrepit building downtown.
"Thanks, North. Here." She tosses you a sports drink.
> You thank her and guzzle it down.
> After lugging all that stuff around, you're grateful for it.
"What are you up to North?" she asks, sliding her shades up to rest on her head.

> You sigh and set your drink down.
> "Thing is, I think Sunset Shimmer is after my scarf."
> Vinyl blinks and scoots closer to you.
"That's a pretty serious accusation, Nolan. You have any proof to back it up?"
> "Well, yesterday I found Snips holding my scarf in the locker room. Snips and Snails work for Shimmer."
> You remove your scarf and hold it between your hands, touching the pin lovingly.
> She watches you silently and her eyes stare hard at the pin.
"I don't think it's the scarf they are after."
> She pats your back and hops down the stage.
> Placing her hands on her hips, she gazes at the 'dance floor'.
"We're gonna have to do something about it."
> She turns back around and gives you a thumbs up.
> We? Is she seriously volunteering in helping you?
> You must have a confused look on your face, since she's now rubbing the back of her neck awkwardly.
"Yeah yeah, it might seem pretty weird, but I do want to help."
> "Great! Where do we start?"

"We could always bait her and not the Terrible Twins." Vinyl says, kicking a stray rock out of her way.
> We watch it skitter across the floor.
> "Ok and how so?"
> She walks up to you and motions to your scarf.
"You said she came after it in gym class right? Why don't I hold on to it?"
> What? Is she asking you to hand her your scarf and pin?
> Wonder about this for a second.
"It will only be for gym. I promise." she reassures you.
> You...guess that's ok...
>"Uh...fine."
> You hand your scarf over for her to try in.
> Mother of god, it looks cute on her.
> Now you're wondering how it will look on Amy.
> Sweet sweet Amy.
"All right, so that's our plan. I'm positive." She grins and slides her shades back down her face.
> There's a loud crash five feet behind her.
> Some part of the roof just fell in, creating an awesome effect behind her.
> How does she make everything look so cool?
"Freaky."

> Project Simmer Down Phase 2: Baiting Shimmer
> Next day you and Vinyl pull up to Canterlot High in Vinyl's car.
> "Remember to be careful with it, Vinnie."
> She turns bright red and gives you a playful shove.
"Don't call me that! And of course!"
> You place the scarf around her neck and pat her shoulder.
> Walking away from that pin is almost literally tearing you up inside.
> Be cool, Nolan, you can handle a day without it.

>Be Sunset Shimmer
> Why is Dubstep girl wearing North's scarf?
> Was I wrong about her?
> Maybe she's his girlfriend?
> Oh well. This only modifies the plan a bit.
> And this time you won't have to worry bout relying on those two.
> You wonder if Snips is ok.
> No, you don't care! You swear! B-baka.

> Be Sunset Shimmer
> Suspicion rises within you.
> How convenient that Nolan would hand his pin over after his scarf was nearly stolen.
> Too convenient.
> You watch her go to her class and follow.
> This school seems a bit too lenient in allowing students go to whatever class they want.
> You take a seat in the back of class.
> She's chosen the seat closest to the front row window.
> You watch as she lifts the end of the scarf and sniffs it.
> What? Huh...maybe she IS his girlfriend.
> Bell rings and class begins.
> You're going to be following her all day.

> Be Sunset Shimmer
> Second period now, drama class.
> Or as you like to call it 'fuck around and do absolutely nothing' period.
> Send text to Snails to follow Nolan.
> Those two must be up to something.
> Watch Vinyl getting all chummy with that German exchange student, Octavia.
> Sneak as close to possible to eavesdrop.
"Zat is a beautifur scarve, Veenyl. Vhere zid juu get it?"
> "Nolan lent it to me."
"Vhy?"
> "He said he likes to see me wear it."
> You question their relationship again and your conclusions.
> What the fuck is going on?

> Be Snails
> Following Nolan around has been very boring.
> Maybe because Snips isn't here to keep you company.
> See Nolan bump into Brad and that racist kid, Norman.
> What are they talking about?


> Be Snails
> You sneak as close as you can to keep the three within earshot.
> Sounds like they are talking about boring school stuff.
> Or well, Brad being Brad.
> You sigh and text Snips.
> 'SS making me follow North around. :/'
'lolwut? srs'?
> 'Ya. How r u?'
'face hurtz :'c'
> You text Sunset, telling her that this is boring.
'who care wat u think!'
> You sigh again and text Snips again.
> 'I miss TGAP Trixie ;-;'
'me 2'

> Be Nolan
> Be getting annoyed about Brad's tales of his sports history.
"They're totally Bradical!"
> You and Norman cringe at this.
> God this guy's an ass.
> Notice Snails out of the corner of your eye texting someone.
> This gives you an idea.

> Be Nolan North
> You know that break is coming up soon, so you send a quick text to Vinyl.
> You face Brad and Norman and tell them you'll be right back, you need to talk to Snails.
> You walk right up to him and casually lean against the wall next to him.
> Kid is so immersed with his phone that he doesn't notice you.
> Not until you speak that is.
> "Yo."

> Be Snails
> Still texting Snips
> Hear someone talk to you and look up.
> It's Nolan North.
> You reel back, hitting your head against the wall.
> Fucking shit hurts and you slide down the wall in pain.
"Whoa man, settle down."
> You peek underneath your eyelids and notice Nolan's hand extended to you.
> I-Is he offering to help you?
> You take his hand and he helps you to your feet.
> "Th-thanks."

> Be Nolan again
> "Listen, about your friend. Is he all right?"
> Snails nods.
"Uh...y-yeah. I was just texting him."
> Nod and walk away, leaving the kid even more confused.
