> Be Vinyl Scratch
> Look at your phone and see Nolan's message.
> Ha! Shimmer seems to be suspicious.
> Good. Now you can put phase three in motion.

> Be Sunset Shimmer
> You can see where this is going.
> You think to yourself 'you can't outsmart me.'
> Send text to Snails again.
> 'Where is Nolan?'
> No response.
> Figures. Grinding your teeth you turn back your attention to Dubstep and Octavia.
"Nolan says he's meeting me for break."
'Wunderbar! So romantik, this Nolan.'
> Text Snails again with a change of plan.

> Be Snails
> Playing solitaire on your phone.
> It's been several minutes since Nolan walked away and you were too confused to follow.
> Lost sight of him. Sunset is going to be pissed.
> More so that you're ignoring her texts.
> You really really miss Snips.

> You are now Nolan again.
> Break is coming up, so you have to get to the school's library as quickly as you can.
> Hopefully Vinyl will be there when you get there.
> Looking ahead you spot the giant glass double doors and your step quickens.
> Ducking inside, you weave your way around the bookshelves until you hit the reference section.
> No one goes there.
> You pick a book at random, something about the Roman Empire.
> You take the book and peek around the shelves and see Vinyl entering the library.
> Ducking back amongst the shelves you send her another text, telling here where to find you but to not immediately seek you out.
> 'Peruse the shelves around the fiction section for as long as you can and set yourself at the nearest table.'

> Be Vinyl
> You shrug and do as instructed, discreetly glancing at the reference section anyway.
> You station yourself as ordered and grab the closest book you find to carry back to a table.
> A racy romance novel. Really?
> You inwardly shrug and begin to 'read'.

> You are now Sunset Shimmer.
> The library?
> You peek in through the windows and see Dubstep sitting all by herself.
> Reading. and blushing.
> What the fuck is she even reading?
> You feel a presence next to you.
> No need to panic, it's only Snails.
> "Go inside." You shove him in.
> He trips over his pants and he crashes into a shelf.
> What is this? A cartoon show?

> Be Nolan
> You've seen Sunset, now to reel in the bait.
> You make your way to Vinyl and tap her shoulder.
> She stares at you, her shades almost sliding off her nose.
> "Hold still for a second. She's outside."
> She nods, understanding what you're about to do.
> Cupping her cheek, you shift position and hug her.
> Anyone who couldn't see you from the sides would think that you were kissing Vinyl.
> And that's exactly what you want them to think.

> Be Vinyl
> You're slightly uncomfortable with how close Nolan is.
> His warm hand felt so good against your cheek and you couldn't help but nuzzle against it.
> You'd never admit it to him, but you actually found him kinda hot.
> But you guys are childhood friends and you know childhood friends never win.
> But for now, simply enjoy the hug.

> Be Sunset Shimmer
> You press your face against the glass in disbelief.
> They're...KISSING!
> Spinning around and pressing your back against the window, you quickly hyperventilate.
> You were WRONG?!
> They were an item?!
> What's the world coming to?!

> You are suddenly Amy
> Break is almost over and you need to quickly get to the library to find an extra textbook for a classmate.
> You pause when you come across Sunset Shimmer.
> Sigh, you've been having such a pleasant day too.
> However something seems odd.
> She's spazzing out and muttering to herself.
> You always thought she had been weird and this just makes her seem...weirder.
> Ignoring her, you walk into the library.
> And you freeze.
> Someone else is here.
> And he's kissing someone.
> 'N-Nolan?'

> Be Nolan
> You hear someone call your name softly from somewhere behind you.
> ohshit.jpg
> You know that voice from anywhere.
> You slowly turn around to see Amy standing there, eyes wide in shock.
> She looks devastated.
> You feel your heart sinking, an you raise a shaky hand in greeting. 
> "Uh..h-hey Amy..."
"..."
> She forces a smile and silently marches to a different art of the library.
> Your voice dies in your throat when you try to call out to her.
> You glance at Vinyl, who only shrugs.
> She points out to the doors where Shimmer is hunkered down in defeat.
> Yep, she definitely bought it.
> Unfortunately, so did Amy.

> Be Vinyl
> Knowing full well what Nolan might do, you grip his vest and pull him down to whisper in his ear.
> "You can't."
> He stares at you, mortified.
> "If you go after Amy then our little 'show' will dissolve in the wind. Sunset is still here."
> He visibly stiffens, his hands curled into fists.
> "I know, it's unfortunate she saw, but our main objective is to keep Sunset off your pin and the Saints."

> Be Nolan
> As much as you want to bolt after Amy to explain the situation, you know what Vinyl is saying is right.
> You watch Amy come back, a big textbook in her hands and she leaves without looking at you, her face framed by her hair.
"We should go. Bell is about to ring."
> Biting your lip, you mutely nod and allow Vinyl to pull lead you out.

> Be Sunset
> They are coming this way.
> This is the real deal, and since gym is next, you can easily get your hands on that pin from Dubstep's locker.
> You make a quick dash for the locker room, licking your lips.
> Everything is falling in place.

> Be Snails
> Your head feels like there's a battering ram inside you.
> Shaking your head, you sit up.
> Look like the place is empty.
> What did you ever do to deserve such a shitty role to play?

> Be Snails
> Thankfully your phone isn't broken.
> Can't say the same about your peanut butter crackers.
> You text someone you've been meaning to text all this time.
> "Trixie? Can we talk? :D?"

> You suddenly feel Great and Powerful
> You are now Trixie
> You're at the SweetieBot vending machine, buying yourself some apple juice.
> You hear the familiar ringtone of 'RazzleDazzle'
> Check phone
> It's Snails.
> You think about how you had 'lent' him and Snips to Sunset and she never bothered giving them back.
> That girl irks you.
> You send a quick reply back. "Sure."
'miss u'
> Cheeks turning bright pink you rapidly text back. "Wat do u need fro trixie?"
'just wanted 2 say hi'
> You coo at the phone, Snails, although slower than Snips, had always been the nicest boy you had ever met.
> You're about to text back when
> You see something red and gold blaze past you.
> Sunset Shimmer?

> Be Sunset Shimmer
> You run through the halls, eager to get to gym.
> Not because you like the class.
> I mean running around after a ball was just stupid.
> You're getting off subject, Sunset.
> This is you last chance to get the pin.
> And last chance to find out who Nolan North really is.

> Be Sunset Shimmer
> You've waited long enough. No more stalling.
> You hide near the shower room, watching Vinyl change.
> You kind of feel like a pervert, but meh, what can you do?
> Dubstep has a really nice figure anyway.
> There's the scarf, she's placing it on the bench.
> Her cell goes off and she mutters something you can't make out.
> Scarf is completely up for grabs.
> You swoop in and snatch it.
> Quickly retreating to your hiding place, you take a close look at the pin.
> Seems almost normal?
> a fleur-de-lis...
> Fleur DeLis! Only the best supermodel around! How did Nolan know her?
> Wasn't she married to some guy named Fancy Pants?
> Think about it for a few seconds.
> Fancy Pants, Fancy Pants, Fan-
> You never noticed Dubstep come back.
> You never saw her sneak up and pour chloroform into a rag.
> And you definately never felt her arms smother you.
> All you know is that you won't be waking up any time soon.

> Be Vinyl
> Dust off your uniform and begin dragging Sunset's unconsicious body to a hidden corner.
> That was a little too close for comfort.
> You scratch your head and pull out a nearly identical scarf from your pocket.
> Attach a fake pin to it. You had gone through a lot of trouble obtaining it.
> You smile, pleased with your handiwork. Now to get the original back to its rightful owner..

> Be Vinyl
> You're going to return the scarf to Nolan.
> Now to deal with Iron Will.
> You walk out to the soccer field, deciding to put on your best 'I feel sick, can I go to the nurse?' face on
> Thankfully he falls for it
> Works every single time without fail.
> You trudge slowly through the halls, you're not willing to part with his scarf just yet.
> You bury your nose in Nolan's scarf, letting it fill you up with his scent.
> Oh yeah, that;s the stuff.
> You pause midstep.
> It's Amy and she's glaring at you.
> You quickly straighten yourself, pretending you were not just sniffing the scarf.
> You at least ha the dignity to blush. 
"Why?"
> You snap your head up. "Huh?"

> You are now Amy
> Your poor heart can't take it and you feel the familiar sting of tears prick at your eyes.
> Earlier you had seen Nolan kissing Vinyl.
> At first you didn't want to face the truth.
> But now....seeing her sniff his scarf like that...it was just too much.
> You need to get away, you promised yourself you wouldn't cry, but something stops you.
> Swallowing back your tears, you step forward.
> "Why?"

> Be Vinyl
> How can you explain that it was just a misunderstanding?
> You rake your brain for ideas, but find none.
> Shit, this is very bad.
> Groaning, you take a step forward, and like a cornered deer, she steps back. Right into Brad's chest.
> FUCK!

> Be Brad
> You had been ditching class and walking down the halls to pass the time.
> Immediately bump into Amy.
> Scratch that, a crying Amy and Vinyl Scratch.
> "What's going on?"

> Be Vinyl again
> You clench your teeth.
> Of all people it had to be this guy.
> There's no way you can explain things to Amy now.
> How do you get out of this?
