Story
The Crystal Empire seems like a quiet place, but with it already having missed over a thousand moons, it's full of possible ponies wanting to change their stories. It was that thought that brought you into the castle. You look high and low but don't see anything that seems out of place.

And then you spot something strange. In a out-of-the-way room stands a mirror. The mirror resembles a purple, upside-down horseshoe. Horseshoes line the steps below it. Swirly metal rods line around the mirror. You walk up and touch it. The mirror feels fluid, rippling from your touch. You push and find yourself going through the mirror like a popped bubble, swirling down the drain from dimension to dimension until you drop in front of Canterlot High in the human world.

The school stands silent. However, you hear murmuring in the distance. You follow the lone voices to find an empty stage with only three teenage girls sitting together. Trying not to interrupt, you stand near the trees, able to hear perfectly thanks to the stage acoustics.

"This is all your fault!" Aria Blaze scoffs, then, in a high mocking tone, adds, "Let's do a battle of the bands. The wielders of magic won't know what hit them."

"Oh shut up. I didn't see you coming up with any better ideas," Adagio Dazzle shoots back.

"And we never even got to eat any tacos!" Sonata Dusk pouts.

The three argue with each other as you get closer. Sonata stops and picks up a glowing page. "Ooohhh, looking what I found!" She grins. "It's so shiny!"

"Let me see that!" Adagio grabs the page, scanning it. "I have good news, girls. We have a second chance. With this magic page, we can rewrite the contest so we win this time!"

"What, and have them find another way to take our powers? No thanks," Aria scoffs.

"No this will make it to where we write the story!" Adagio growls.

"Why not just give up. Maybe we should just see this as an eye-opener and try to…I don't know…change." Aria sighs.

"Wait! If we can change anything, we could all have TACOS! Even better, Taco Tuesday can be every day!" Sonata squeals. 

Aria sees you from your spot, watching from the tree line, "Hey you!" You point to yourself. Aria rolls her eyes, "Yes, you, the weirdo fan hiding by the trees. I'm guessing you heard most of our conversations?" You nod slowly. Aria shrugs, "then you might as well give us your thoughts. What do you think we should do?"

"Greaaat. Ask the random creepy stranger" Adagio rolls her eyes. Aria glares at her and Adagio sighs. "FINE. You. Weirdo person. We need to know. Should we try to win the singing competition, give up, or…" She groans then murmurs, "enjoy…tacos."

[CHOICE] What should they do?

> Win the competition. (Villain)

> Enjoy tacos! (Chaos)

> Give up. (Hero)

[ENDING A: VILLAIN]

"You should win your contest," you decide.

"Great. Finally, someone with sense!" Adagio grinned.

An orange glow surrounds you all. The next thing you know, the stadium is packed with students who look like Zombies. The Dazzlings have turned into giant sirens. "First, Canterlot High! Next, all of Equestria!" Adagio shouts.

[ENDING B: CHAOS]
"You should enjoy tacos!" you decide.

"YES!" Sonata grabs the page back. An orange glow surrounds you all.

The next thing you know, you're in the cafeteria. Ever student has a taco. Sonata has a tray overflowing with tacos. She shouts, "Best day EVER!"

Adagio and Aria roll their eyes.

[ENDING C: HERO]
"You should give up," you decide.

"Finally, someone sees it!" Aria grabs the page and hands it to you. "The first time we tried to take over, we lost our home. The second, we lost our powers. I don't want to see what would happen. The third time! We should try something new. Maybe find out what we really want!"

Adagio sighs. "Fine."

Sonata nods. "Sounds good to me!"

The three go off to find what they really want.
