Project Simmer Down CYOA Part 4 [Complete]

> Be Nolan
> You cup Amy's face and stare at her right in the eyes.
> "That was so she knows I was being sincere, and because she knows how much it means to me."
> You let her go and stand up.
"You should stay there, young man. What you did was reckless. And Amy, you should head to class."
> Lay back down, slightly annoyed.

> Be Amy
> You nod at Nurse Redheart.
> Stand up and prepare to leave.
> "That may be Nolan...but I...saw her sniffing it."
> Turn tail and leave.
> You're a little happy though, that means you still have a chance after all!

> Be Vinyl
> She's onto you.
> Need to think up something.
> "Oh but, N-Nolie is my boyfriend. We've been together since we were small."
> GG Vinyl, you just made it worse.
> "Well I mean! Yeah, we're childhood sweethearts! But you know, since everyone is sooo segregated here in their little groups we can't hang out together much."
> sweating intensifies

> Be Snails
> Calm the fuck down, you spaz.
> M-maybe it won't be so bad.
> As long as Nolan doesn't have the pin, you're fine.
> R-right.
> Get text from Snips.
"sooo booooored D:'
> Goddammit Snips, not now.

> Be Trixie
> Something is still not right.
> You lop an arm around Vinyl, a devilish smile on your face.
> "Then...how about you two kiss to prove your love?"
> Vinyl swallows nervously.
> Gotcha. "Well?"
"S-sure. Make sure you bring sunscreen, it's going to be hot."

> Be Snips
> Greatest PBJ you've had.
> You check your phone, no new messages.
> Fucking hell Snails.. answer already.
> Decide to spam him with frowny faces.
> "D:< D:< D:<"

> Be Nolan
> Somewhat mystified about Vinyl sniffing your scarf.
> Why would she do that?
"Ahem. I'll advise you to take it easy for the next few days, Mr. North."
> Huh? Oh right the nurse is still here.
> You didn't think about it before, but she seems happy to have a patient.
> "Oh uh sure. How long have you been working here?"
"Mmm..." she taps her chin, thinking about it. "Not that long, maybe 5 years."
> 5 years seems pretty long to you.
> "Oh, bet you've seen to plenty of students then?"
"...something like that."
> She hands you a cup of water and leaves.
> What? Was it something you said?

> Be Vinyl
> 'bring sunscreen' what the fuck where you even thinking?
> Pro tip: you weren't.
> You need to find a way to distract this nosy busybody.
> Oh yeah. The gig.
> "I'll prove it to you at my gig this Friday night."

> Be Snails
> You're making your way back to school.
> At your pace, you'll make it back by lunchtime.
> Finally check your phone
> It hasn't been that long since you last messaged Snips right?
> Check phone.
> YOU WERE WRONG, SO HORRIBLY WRONG!
> You see a wall of 'D:<'.
> Stifle a crazed chuckle

> Be Nolan
> Oh now you get it.
> She's lonely.
> Hop out of the cot and look for her in the office.
> She's hunched over her desk, filling out a note for you.
> "Uh Ms. Redheart?'
> She ignores you and hands you the note.
> You stuff it in your pocket.
> "I can come around and visit you sometimes if you like."
> Walk out, and glance back nonchalantly.
> She's staring you, slack-jawed.
> Blow her a kiss and a wink.
> Now to find Vinyl and talk to her about the sniffing thing.

> Be Trixie
> Friday? Isn't that designated CoD night with Snips and Snails?
> Which means you'll have to miss the gig.
> "Oh...Friday? I have plans."
> Shrug it off and walk out the classroom as bell rings.
> "I'll catch you some other time."

> Be Nolan
> Vinyl should still be in the classroom you left her in, unless something happened.
> Which you doubt, Vinnie is a tough customer.
> You remember when your dads made you spar against each other once, and she beat yo up pretty good.
> You couldn't feel you left ass cheek for nearly a month.
> Spot Trixie leaving the classroom.
> She raises an eyebrow at you and keeps walking past you.
> The fuck was that about?
> Stop at the door and look in.
> Vinyl is sitting down, looking depressed.
> She pulls your scarf out of her pocket and places it on the nearest desk.
> Buries her face in her hands and sighs with relief.
"Safe.."
> "Safe from what, Vinnie?"
> She nearly falls off the chair.
"Nolan!" she stands up.
> "That's me. I talked with Amy." You walk closer to her, and she starts backing up.
"O-oh, so you caught up with Brad? That's great!"
> "She told me something really interesting." You move closer and she falls back into the chair. You lean over her and remove her shades.
> She's jumpy, and not looking at you anymore.
"Yeah?"
> "Sniffing my scarf, huh? What's up with that?"
> She freezes and places a hand on your chest.
"Stop it, please don't ask." she gives you a slight shove, giving her some space to stand. "I don't want to talk about it."
> Her voice sounds indifferent now, and you back off.
> "But Vinnie."
"No."

> You slick back your hair, slightly exasperated.
> You need to take a different approach, this isn't an interrogation.
> You sigh, "Shit...Vinnie, I'm sorry I didn't mean to scare you."
> You kneel down and slip your hand under her chin and tilt her head up.
> "I'm sorry. I won't do it again. Can you please tell me what's wrong?"
> She meets your gaze this time, albeit shyly.
"You..wouldn't understand, Nolie."
> Nolie
> She hasn't called you that since third grade.

> Be Vinyl
> You wish you could tell him how much you've loved him since you were kids.
> But against Amy, you can never win.
> And you know she's interested in him.
> And he is in her.
> Who are you to stand in their way?
> A Saint and Nolan's bodyguard.
> That's it.
> "You...wouldn't understand, Nolie."
> You use the nickname that hasn't been used since your grade school days.
> You want to cry. To scream.
> But you won't.
> Instead you do something that you should have done a long ass time ago.
> You grab Nolan by his vest and mash your lips against his.
> It's all or nothing now.

> Be Vinyl
> His lips are like a taste of heaven.
> You now he's surprised and he opens his mouth in shock.
> Take this opportunity to try and coax his tongue to play with yours.
> You moan a little when you feel him relax a little and put his hands on your waist.
> At this point, you don't care about anything else.
> There's just you and Nolan.

> Be Nolan
> Be confused
> Very confused
> Vinyl is kissing you
> You don't resist at all, you're too surprised.
> You open your mouth to try and say something.
> Feel her tongue in your mouth.
> Oh god, fuck it all to hell.
> Life be damned, you kiss her back, allowing yourself to take hold of her waist.
> She moans, god damn it's hot.
> She's tiny compared to you, though taller than Amy...
> Amy...
> Oh god, what are you doing.
> You softly push Vinyl off of you, ignoring the sounds of disappointment she makes.
> You're...so confused now.
> Vinyl's face is bright red, her lips quivering.
"I...I'm sorry."
> She apologizes, moving around you to gather her things.
> "Vinnie...I..."
"It's the only thing I've ever dreamed of."
> She walks away, and heads to her next class.
> You stand there, even after the tardy bell rings.
> Among with hiding the fact that you are a Saint, you know are having girl trouble. You can feel your insanity growing.
> Why can't things ever go right for you?


> Be Vinyl
> You run to the closest restroom and lock yourself in a stall and sit on the toilet.
> Freely allow yourself to cry.
> This is so messed up.
> You weren't supposed to do that.
> This isn't what you had wanted to happen at all.
> How can you look at him in the face anymore?
> Sighing, you think that things can't get any worse.
> You hear the bathroom door open.
> Panic.
"I can't believe he lost the pin! Snails is a fucking idiot!"
> Sunset Shimmer
> Thanks Fate, you sure do love me.

> Be Nolan
> Going to geology
> You need to find someone to talk to,
> Definitely not Brad.
> Maybe Norman?
> Yeah that will work.
> Take your seat next to him after handing your note to Professor Sombra.
"Where you been all day, Nol?" he whispers.
> "Eh the usual, came to school, got nearly run over by Brad you know? Normal stuff."
"I feel ya, same he- whoa what?"
> "Can we talk during lunch?"
> You motion towards Sombra, who's paused his lesson about crystals to glare at the two of you.
"Sure."

> Be Norman
> You settle back in your seat.
> Hear whispers about you.
"God what a fucking racist."
"Yeah, bet he was interrupting just cuz Prof Sombra is Mexican.'
"Faggot."
> Stare at your desk and say nothing.

> Be Vinyl
> Quickly bring your feet up so Sunset won't notice your feet.
> Knowing what a bitch she is, she's probably going to monologue.
> Why do the bad guys always do that?
> Get bright idea and use your phone to record.
""I should have done it myself. Ugh, what's so hard about delivering a pin to Donut Joe?"
> Donut Joe...?

> Be Sunset Shimmer
> You're beyond pissed.
> How could Snails lose the pin?
> You storm into the nearest bathroom to cool off.
> "I should have done it myself. Ugh, what's so hard about delivering a pin to Donut Joe?"
> Begin washing your hands.
> "I know I've seen that symbol before...couldn't be. I'd have to Google it for sure."
> You stare at yourself in the mirror, and flip your hair.
"You and your little girlfriend will not fool me."

> Be Vinyl
> Could she...be a Decker...?


> Be Sunset
> Finish primping yourself in the bathroom.
> You have to find the moron who lost the pin.
> You hear the lunch bell ring anf the hallways get jammed with hungry students stampeding to the cafeteria.
> Where you really in that bathroom for so long?
> Follow the crowd and locate Snails.
> He;s off sitting by himself like the loser he is.
> What the fuck is he so happy about?
> Walk over to him and slap his fork out of his hand.
> His salad goes flying and the fork clatters somewhere behind you.
> "Do you have ANY idea what you have done?"
"...What's so important about it anyway? As long as Nolan doesn't have it we're fine, right?"
> "What did you just say to me?" Get up in his face.
> He cowers like a puppy.
> "I said 'find out about the pin. NOT dispose of it. You cur."
> You grab him and drag him outside.
> Shove hi on the floor.
> "You're going to scrape around the entire school, until you find it."
> Leave him there in tears.

> Be Snails
> Sniffing, you stand up.
> No really, what did you do to deserve this?
> Trixie was bossy, but she never physically abused you.
> Trixie only ordered mundane tasks like fetching her stuff and carrying her.
> You really wish Trixie would come save you from Sunset.
> You take a deep breath and begin looking around for the pin.
> The school is huge, so it might take a while.
> Being you really really sucks.

> Be Norman
> You and Nolan are walking down the halls to the cafeteria to grab your grub.
> You wish you could talk to him right now, but everyone is shoving and pushing.
> And screaming at each other to be heard.
> The cacophony could split an ear drum.
> Finally arrive at cafeteria.
> See Flamecunt drag that poor Peach out.
> Think nothing of it, just grab your food and start eating.
"So, let me ask you a hypothetical question."
> You face Nolan, mouth full of sandwich.
> "Mmfure."
"Let's say there's this girl who's been your childhood friend. And she likes you. BUT you like another girl who just recently broke up with her jerkass boyfriend, but is kinda into you. What do you do in a situation like that?"
> Chew your food thoughtfully.
> "How do you feel about the childhood friend? Hypothetically."

> Be Trixie
> The cafeteria is too noisy for you.
> You're happily enjoying a boxed lunch you brought from home.
> Sitting alone in a staircase.
> You used have lunch here with Snips and Snails.
> Munch on a carrot, and what do you know.
> Snails is walking all by himself.
"I miss you Trixie."

> Be Snails
> Still looking for pin.
> Nothing, nada, zip.
> You would be eating salad now if it wasn't for Shimmer.
> You sigh dejectedly and dust yourself off.
> Continue walking.
> "I miss you, Trixie," you say to no one in particular.
> Look up familiar staircase.
> See Trixie.
> Awkward pause.
> You rub your eyes. She;s still there.
> "H-hi Trixie."
> You're pretty sure you've just dropped more than the spaghetti
"You...miss Trixie?"
> She speaks to you and stands up.
> Slowly nod, "Sunset's been treating me and Snips like slaves."
"What?! When I recommended you to her I didn't think she'd..."
"..."
"You'll pay for hurting my comrades Sunset Shimmer."

> Be Vinyl
> The coast is clear, so you exit the bathroom.
> Not before fixing yourself up first.
> Now you can leave.
> Think about what Sunset said.
> "Why is revenge so important? I don't think Nolan has..."
> Blush upon remembering what you did.
> Then hang head in shame.
> Will your friendship ever go back to the way it was before you kissed him?

> Be Trixie
> Be pissed.
> No one treats your henchmen like that.
> NO ONE!
> You leave your lunch and go towards Snails.
> He looks worried.
> "Where is she?"
"T-the caf-"
> Don't let him finish.
> Take off like the end of days are coming.
> Storm into cafeteria.
> "SUNSET SHIMMER, I CHALLENGE YOU TO A DUEL!"

> Be Nolan
> Choke on your veggie burger.
"How do you feel about the childhood friend? Hypothetically."
> How do you even answer that?
> Vinyl had always been there for you.
> Hell, you even took baths together, until you were three that is.
> Your father then began training the both of you in self defense and in offense.
> She was always better, maybe because you only half-assed the training.
> You weren't really interested in becoming the next Saints leader.
> Then two weeks before high school, your dad assigns her as your bodyguard.
> Before that day, you hadn't seen much of her other than at training.
> And...
> "I don't...know..."
"So go with the new chick after she gets over her old boyfriend. Don't sweat it, Nol."
> You think about her kiss, and how close she was...how warm she felt.
> "I kind of like her too, but I don't want to ruin ou-"
> Your sentence is cut short when the doors to the cafeteria fly open.
> You see Trixie and she's got a determined look on her face.
> She points her finger at Sunset.
"SUNSET SHIMMER, I CHALLENGE YOU TO A DUEL."


> Be Sunset Shimmer
> Be enjoying your lunch.
> Until you hear..
"SUNSET SHIMMER, I CHALLENGE YOU TO A DUEL!"
> Look up.
> It's Trixie, the girl who let me have Snails and Snips.
> She's pointing her finger at me, looking livid.
> Get up and walk towards her.
> "Pardon me, did you just say you're challenging me?"
> Everyone is looking at you, even Nolan and that racist kid.
> No wait, he's choking.
> Smirk at this, and turn attention back to Trixie.
> Curl a finger in your hair and twist it around.
> "Why even bother doing that. As far as I'm concerned, you have nothing to be pissed about."
> Laugh and wave her off.
"Oh but I do."
> Feel the cold sting of a slap across the face and hear the collective gasp of the whole school.

> Be Vinyl
> You want to go home and curl up in bed, listening to your music.
> You still have the scarf, and you know you'll have to give it back when this mission is over.
> You don't want to.
> You hear commotion coming from the cafeteria.
> Curious, you head towards it.
> Find Snails biting his nails at the doors.
> Reach out to him and pat his shoulder to move him out of the way.
> He jumps, you scared him.
"Vinyl Scratch! You..." he grasps at your shoulders. "You have to stop Sunset and Trixie!"
> Why would you...
> Peek inside cafeteria in time to see Trixie bitchslap Sunset.
> Not a bad form Trix, but you should have shifted your weight so you could send her flying.
> Get shoved in by Snails.
> Little guy is stronger than he looks.
> You stop yourself from colliding with Amy.
> Aw man.


> Be Amy
> You had been talking with Rose, just girl talk.
> The usual.
> Be walking to your table when fight begins.
> Watch Sunset get slapped by Trixie.
> About face, and nearly collide with Vinyl.
> Jesus fuck, that scared you.
> Recover and give Vinyl a little half-wave in greeting.
> Focus on fight, shit's about to get real.

> Be Trixie
> Standing over a downed Sunset Shimmer.
> "If you think you can waltz around mistreating my henchmen, you've got another thing coming, Shimmer."
> She holds a hand to her cheek and glares at you.
"YOUR henchmen? HAHAHA! You GAVE them to me, remember?!"
> God, you hate her.
> Wagging a finger at her, you correct her mistake, "I said I'd LOAN them, I NEVER said it was a permanent loan."
> Sunset bares her teeth, and kicks out your legs.
> You go down like a sack of potatoes.
> The two of you stand up glaring daggers at each other.
> You both grab at each other, clawing and scratching at anything you see.
> You are not handing your underlings over. Not now, not ever. ESPECIALLY Snails.
> Get close to Sunset's face and spit out, "Tonight, at the Unicorn statue."
> Give her another punch in the gut before strong hands encircle your waist and pull you off her.
> Glare at the guy who would DARE touch the Great and Powerful Trixie without her permission.
> It's Nolan North.

> Be Nolan
> You cough, trying to dislodge the food that went down the wrong pipe.
"Should we do something about those two?"
> Look at Norman who is staring at the two girls getting down.
> You agree.
> As much as you'd love for Trixie to whale on Sunset, it has to stop.
> "K, I'll grab Trixie, you get the other one."
> You have a bit of trouble with Trixie, since she's flailing around a lot.
> See the opening when she gets up in Sunset's face.
"Tonight, at the Unicorn Statue." she spits at Sunset.
> Enough is enough.
> You drag her off Sunset, and she starts kicking at you, Sunset doing the same to Norman.
"Don't touch me, racist!"


> Be Nolan
> Take Trixie's hand, despite her protests.
> Exit out to the school yard.
"Unhand me at once, North, or suffer the consequences!"
"This is so undignified!"
> Pay no attention til you're at the statue.
> She's still protesting.
> "Listen, you don't like Shimmer, do you?"
> She hmphs, crosses her arms and legs.
"And if Trixie doesn't, what of it?"
> Referring to herself in the third person, you mentally facepalm.
> "I don't like her either, would you like to team up with me and Vinyl in taking Shimmer down?"
"..."
> She stares at you. Her eyes widen in recognition.
"Oh! So you're Vinyl's boyfriend."
> Huh?

> Be Vinyl
> Eyes wide open of what just happen.
> D...did Nolan really just drag Trixie outside?
> If she blabs about you telling her that he's your boyfriend then...
> Aaaargh, your head hurts.
> Feel a tap on your shoulder.
"Uhm...Vinyl?"
> It's Amy again.
"I'm...sorry about earlier. Nolan told me everything."
> You stare at her and think, 'everything'?
> "It's ok, I was going to tell you everything too but Brad interrupted me."
> Hold out your hand.
> She takes it and shakes hands with you.
"I'm so glad!"
> Watch her walk off and join Rose at a table.
> Why can't this day end already?

> Be Trixie
> "Oh! So you're Vinyl's boyfriend."
> Continue on with your story.
> "Ran into her sleeping in an empty classroom, looked really peaceful."
> Eye Nolan for any type of reaction. None. Continue.
> "She was snuggling with your scarf, and Trixie kinda woke her up. She literally flipped out. Like a secret agent."
"Don't be silly."
> Ignore comment.
> "ANYway, I ask her if the scarf is a gift from her boyfriend. And she was like 'yeah'."
> "Asked her to prove it to me by kissing you, and she tells me to go to her gig Friday and to bring sunscreen."
"Sunscreen...?"
> "It's going to be hot, her words not mine."
> Cross arms and watch him blush.
>Oh this is going to be good.

> Be Norman
"Let me go!" Sunset screams again, her heels digging painfully on your toes.
> Why did you ditch me Nolan? you think to yourself, letting Orange Creme go.
> "There, happy?"
"See that? He attacked Shimmer!"
"Racist Nazy!"
> Really? Did these kids seriously not see you help stop a fight?
> This school is full of idiots.
