Chapter 3: The New Plan

The halls of the battleship were a bit small, having to side step when they encountered someone. And when they did encounter someone, Marco side stepped as fast as he could. He didn't want anyone to see him. Some probably did see him, but they didn't do anything.

"We're here!" Star opened up a door and said, "Wanna come in?"

Marco pushed through, pulled Star into the room, and closed the door "Anybody coming here soon?" He looked through

"My mom and dad come here at night when they're done with their diplomacy stuff."

"Good, good." Marco sat on a chair and took off his cap in relief. He should change out of his costume, since an Army officer probably looked much more different from a Naval Officer. And an Army officer probably looked different from his costume.

"You ok?" Star knelt down to his level.

"What do you mean?"

"You seem really nervous."

"It's nothing. I'm fine now."

"Alright…" Star stood up and sat on the bed.

"Who are your parents anyway? Gotta be important."

"My mom's Queen Moon of Mewni. My dad the King."

"Mewni? Never heard of that, is it in eastern europe? I never know what's in there."

"No, it's actually-"

"Wait, you're a princess?"

"Yes! Interdimensional princess, in fact!"

"What!?"

"Have you ever seen Mewni on a map of earth?"

"I just assumed it was in the balkans! You're pulling my leg aren't you?"

"You can stay with me and see Mewni for yourself once me and my parents are done with this trip. It's a quick tear using some dimensional scissors."

"This might have been my fault…"

"Huh?"

"Nothing. You said I could see it when you're done here?"

"Only three or four days from now. We dock in France, stay there a bit, then I'll go home."

"I wanna see it with my own eyes. I just can't believe it, y'know?"

"Alright, it's a plan!" Star held out her hand.

Marco shook it "Alright. By the way, can I stay here for a while?"

"Don't you have engineering stuff to do?"

"I'll be honest," Marco leaned in for a whisper "I'm not supposed to be onboard."

"Huh, and here I thought you'd be some boring safe-kid!"

"Yup definitely not that." Marco smiled. Star was trustworthy, and finding a friend was comforting.

"I'm gonna go out and get some food. Wanna come?"

"I'm gonna stay here, go ahead." He was not gonna go back out into guard infested halls.

"I'll get some for you!" Star said as she left.

Marco sat back down, and thought of his situation. An entire new nation was probably joining the Axis, and that is what was gonna change history! One battle was not gonna turn the tides, but new nation joining was!

But how was he gonna do it? Mewni was a monarchy, so he would have to get as close to the royalty as possible. He already had an in, Star. And all he needed to do was befriend the king or queen. But he wasn't sure how he could convince them though, he hadn't even met them...

BOOM

A quake rumbled through the cabin. Marco jolted up, then sat back down. Turbulence, he thought.

BOOM

A second rumble rocked the cabin. That was when Marco remembered he wasn't on a plane.

"Oh yeah, the battle."
