“You’re Star Butterfly,” Marco continued as he was rising back on his feet. “You’re a weird princess and a weird friend who always looks out for the people she loves. You’re someone who’s managed to change people’s lives with her magic and cheeriness… especially mine.”

Marco’s words were once again causing her pain albeit in a different manner than during their last incident. With a somewhat sad smile on his face, he slowly pushed the sword aside. “You brought me out of my shell and made me a better person than I could’ve otherwise been. Even when I accidentally hurt you, you were still there for me. You know, something I’ve learned these past few months is that anyone can have a dark side to them-” he now gently held Star’s hands, which were still tightly holding the sword “-a part of them that’s more instinct and less logic, a part of them they can’t admit having and that causes nothing but pain and suffering. But, you know what, it’s okay. We were both afraid to face the reality of situation, but I don’t want to leave you all by yourself anymore.”

“Maybe we’ll never fully overcome our dark side and that’s alright-” he released the sword from her hands as he crossed her fingers with his own “-because we know who we are and you… you are all that matters to me.”
