Elijah turns and sees that they are actually two blue fish in the boat.
"Which one of you should I believe?"

"I say that there will be peace one way or another since if humans do not make peace with one another their world will eventually be destroyed. With the destruction of humanity will come the world peace they were too short sighted to obtain. But, if people learned to live as the red fish said, there could be peace in the future."

"We are both right, and yet both wrong. Peace may be attained peacfully, but peace attained through war assures that peace will not last long." the fish said.
"Ok, now they're just being contradictory." Freak Boy said, rolling his eyes.

"Yes I agree with both of you. War can never accomplish peace. That is why I do not believe in the violence of revolution and have become a democratic socialist."

"Don't roll your eyes at me." The blue fish says to Freakboy.

"Sorry, I meant no offense," Freak Boy said. "Hey, quick question... if you guys are fish don't you need to breathe air via the water through your gills, and if that's the case then how are you up here without gasping for the air in the water? On another note, fish don't have voice boxes so how are we talking? I mean no offense by these questions, I'm just curious."

"We are magical talking fish. We can be out of the water so we can share our wisdom with others, but only for an hour at most. It is magical, now do you have any other questions?"

"Yeah I have a question about peace. I think that sometimes violence is needed to overturn a bad system. Sometimes you need to resort to violence to fight injustice. Are you saying violence is wrong?" Garret asks both fish.

"I will not tell you if violence is right or wrong. The only truth in the universe is what the red fish said. That which supports what the red fish says will support peace. That which stands against it results in war. Violence against another is violence against the self...against the collective of humanity. It is for you to decide the worth of self injurry."

"Violence is an element of society. One can hardly blame someone for believing in violence, considering that it's everywhere in human society. However, to believe that violence can attain true peace is not only foolish, but hypocritical. Peace that is attained through violence is nothing more than giving in to the thing you hate - selling your soul in a way."

"I really wish they'd make up their minds." Freak Boy said to Elijah.

"Yes, I think I have had enough philosphical fishing for one day."
Elijah tosses the fish nearest to him back into the water.

"I like regular fishing better. You don't have to think as much." Garret says as he watches the blue fish swim away.

"Hey, do my questions have to be philosophical or can they be things like 'Will Red Infinity ever fall?'" he asked Elijah as he tossed his fish back into the water.

"It depends on the fish. Red and blue fish are more philophical. Brown fish are good for everyday questions."
Elijah calls again and a brown fish lands in the boat.
