Line 1:
{{trope}}{{Needs Image}}
When two friends or siblings fall in love with the same person, one of two things will happen.
Line 9:
== [[Anime]], [[Light Novels]], and [[Manga]] ==
* ''[[Toradora!]]'': Ami steps aside for Minori (even though she thinks the relationship wouldn't work) apart from little hints. Minori has been stepping aside for Taiga, who wasn't interested. Taiga steps aside for Minori when she ''does'' get interested. Taiga for Sumire, Yuusaku for Sumire's career. [[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy|Everyone is just ''so'' generous, aren't they?]]
* ''[[Clannad (visual novel)|Clannad]]'': Kyou's route is about this trope for her and Ryou, first with Tomoya starting to date Ryou basically to be a nice guy, not because of any interest. Then he realizes he doesn't really love her, and instead likes Kyou. But he could be happy with Ryou as well. Both of them realize this as well, and it just gets awkward. {{spoiler|Tomoya eventually tries breaking up with Ryou, who runs away before hearing it. Then, she tells Kyou to cut her hair to look like hers and calls Tomoya to school, where he successfully breaks up with 'her' and admits he likes Kyou. To Kyou}}.
* In the '90s anime (only) of ''[[Sailor Moon]]'', both Usagi and Rei are interested in Mamoru. Rei steps aside, giving this children's show the more mature resolution to the situation.

Line 28 ⟶ 29:
== [[Western Animation]] ==
* ''[[Totally Spies!]]'': All [[Three Amigos]] had a crush on David for two seasons. They spent his première episode bickering about it, and afterwards, [[Snap Back|without explanation]], only one would pursue him an episode with either indifference or support from the others. They probably had an offscreen agreement to take turns.
* ''[[Kim Possible]]'': In "Exchange" (2x12), Kim and [[Sassy Black Woman|Monique]] fought for the love of some Japanese exchange student, until they eventually got over it for [[The Power of Friendship]]. Just to see him being hocked with [[Alpha Bitch|Bonnie]].
* ''[[Total Drama Island]]'': Both Trent and Cody are attracted to Gwen. When Cody finds out that Trent's the one Gwen likes, however, he not only steps aside, he actually ''helps'' them get together (with limited success, since [[Rule of Drama]] insists their romance be bumpy until the finale, but still). And then they break up the next season, giving Cody another chance. Which he loses. To [[Jerkass|Dun]][[Your Cheating Heart|can]]. Unlike with Trent, this time Cody just [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|punches him in the face]].
