Day 4: Marco choosing Hekapoo over Star

"You knew?! You knew that Star was opening these portals, and you didn't tell me?!" Hekapoo yelled at Marco upon discovering that the dimensional disturbance was the young princess herself.

"Yes, I knew," Marco yelled back. "She asked me not to say anything because she knew people would freak out like this. Her Mother, her Father, the High Commission. You all tell her to be more responsible, but when she actually tries to be more responsible you all freak out and tell her to back off. So, when Star came to me she asked me to find out if something was trying to control her through her magic; and If I could stop it then stop her."

Her eyes widened at what her was implying. "What do you mean?" Hekapoo asked in a quieter voice.

With a sigh, he began to explain. "When Star first realized that her magic was making her do stuff in her sleep she came to me and told me what to do. First, I was to inform no one about this; that's why I didn't tell you. Second, I was to find out what was causing this. Third, after discovering what whatever was is acting through her magic I was to stop it. And finally, If I was unable to stop it, I was to kill her. My best friend has asked me to kill them, so pardon me if I'm not on the level with your high ground Hekapoo; because I would do it."

"What do you mean?"

"When Star give me that order, we argued for hours. Heck, we even had a near full-blown fight, but she made me swear I would follow through with. So, I swore on my love that I would."

"Your love for her," Hekapoo asked in a somber voice.

"No," Marco answered. "The love I have for Star is like sibling love. True, I love her, but I'm not in love with her. She had me swear on my love for you."

"What?!" she asked in a shocked voice a bright blush starting to cover her face.

"Yes, you," he replied. "While I love Star, I will follow through on her orders and not let her be used. If it was you though, I wouldn't be able to do it." Marco finished as he turned to face Hekapoo.

"Why?"

"Because I love you, H-poo, and I cannot live without you."

"Don't call me that, Muscles," she replied softly. After a moment she spoke again, "Fine I won't tell the High Commission, but you need to end this soon. This should help you." She then handed him the dimensional map.

Turning away from Marco, Hekapoo settled herself onto Nachos, his dragon cycle, and looked back at him. "Marco?"

"Yeah, Hekapoo?"

"I love you too," she answered and with a rev of Nachos's engine she was gone.

With a smile, Marco took out his scissors and returned to fulfilling his promise. Happy, that things were okay with Hekapoo and that she returned his feelings.
