20. war bad peace good

Ch 19: War bad, peace good.

"So, war good peace bad?"

"No!" Marco pointed to the diagram he made on the whiteboard he wheeled in "War bad, peace good! Are you even taking notes on there?"

Star looked at her doodles in her notebook "Yes?"

"Good. How about we start at the beginning, what are we fighting for?"

"I think… because I said so?" Star said.

"Nope. Because your colleagues wanted help in running the nation, and in return for 50 people and some oil Germany would help."

"And?" Star said.

"You don't have oil."

"So?"

"After the Germans left, everyone panicked because they didn't have oil. And you said 'Sure yeah' to everyone debating whether or not to invade some other dimension for their oil."

"So we're just gonna repay some debt, what's so bad about that?"

"Star, you know why my eye got removed?"

"Is it becau-"

"It's because I got captured, and I got captured because of a war."

"I was gonna say that!" Star was most definitely not gonna say that.

"Point is war is bad because people get hurt, you see?"

"You definitely don't see as much as I do." Star chuckled.

"Star, do you get it? Is war bad peace good?"

"War bad peace good." Star said.

"So, call off the war!"

"I can't just do that! People would be upset, my mom said that we would either surrender or win."

"What about white peace? Just make everything as it once was!" Marco's voice became more and more desperate.

"Again, I would need a reason." Star said, "Besides, I gave you a job in this war!"

"You what?!" Marco shouted, "I cant take part in this war, I can't take part in it!"

"Marco, it's not that bad of a positi-"

"I- I can't take part in the mindlessness, I can't support it. I cant put others through what I've been through." Marco began pacing as he whispered, "I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't."

"Marco? Are you alright?"

"Does it LOOK like I'm ok?!" Marco shouted "What am I gonna do? What's the position?"

"You're gonna be the guy who awards medals!" Star said, "It's gonna be great!"

"Oh," Marco calmed down "that's good. I thought I would be, like, commanding people or something." Marco breathed a sigh of relief.

"If you feel that strongly about that, then you're definitely not doing it!" Star said, "I promise it."
