This is a retelling of the Moana movie, but with another demigod who grew up with Moana, Kai, the son of the sea. MoanaxOC

I don't own any of the Disney characters mentioned in this story only my OC.

On any normal day for Moana, she was walking amongst her people, learning how to be a good chief for them. Trying to sneak onto the beach, but only succeeding when she was with her grandmother.

However, today was different.

It was her sixth birthday and while the village celebrated, Moana's parents had allowed her to walk along the beach as a birthday present, as long as someone was with her.

Moana was out on the beach just enjoying her birthday with her Gramma. Splashing around, collecting shells, playing with her pet pig Pua.

"Thank you for coming with me, Gramma," Moana said.

"Of course, Moana. I also have a present for you," Tala said back, which caused Moana's eyes to widen in excitement and wonder.

"Really?! What is it?," she asked and Tala gestured her to follow her.

They walked for a few minutes before they came to a beach that was unfamiliar to Moana. It was beautiful, the sand was cool and smooth and the water was just right, and the wind blew through the trees ever so gently.

"I found you a new friend. Kai?! Kai, come on out!! I brought someone I want you to meet!"

Once she said this, a young boy appeared from behind a tree.

He was about the age of nine, he had slightly long black hair, eyes as blue as the sea itself, and the most unique feature he had was his skin was the color as the sand under their feet.

"Hello," the boy said.

"Hi," Moana said, Tala smiled at the two children.

"Moana, this is Kai. He is a very special boy, as you can see. He loves the sea like you, in fact, he was born from it," Tala said, earning a confused look from Moana.

"The sea is my mother, I'm a demigod," Kai explained, making Moana gasp in surprise and awe.

"Really?," she asked and just Tala nodded.

"Yes. But you must never tell anyone, because who knows how the village would react, especially after Maui."

Moana nodded, promising that she would never tell anyone, and her grandmother smiled.

"Alright then I'm going to leave you two alone so you can play. Happy birthday Moana."

"Thank you, Gramma."

Tala nodded and then walked away and Moana walked up to Kai.

"So it's your birthday?," Kai asked and Moana nodded. "Well, happy birthday. How old are you today?"

"Six!," she answered with a smile. "And just ten more years until I become chief of the village."

Kai's blue eyes widened at hearing this as he knew who she was now.

"Ohhh... you're that Moana. My mom talks about you all the time."

"Really?," she asked and he nodded.

"Come on, I'm sure she'd like to see you again," he said, pulling her to the water.

"But I can't swim very well yet," she said.

"Oh, that won't be a problem because I can do this."

He then waved his arms out and the water began to part a little. Moana stared at him bug-eyed.

"My mom can do that too. Show her Mom," Kai said and the sea began to part even more.

"Wow. I had seen the sea do that before, but I thought it was just a dream," Moana said.

The Ocean then had some fun and splash her with some water.

"Nope!!," Kai said, chuckling.

He began walking down to where the water was, and picked up a conch shell and gave it to Moana.

"Happy birthday... from my mom and I."

She then gave him a hug in thanks, which surprised him at first, but he soon returned it.

"Moana?! Moana, where are you?!," a worried voice yelled, causing the sea to revert back to normal and then it pushed Moana and Kai back to shore, causing them to separate just as Silla, Moana's mother, appeared.

"Oh, Moana there you are," she said hugging her daughter tightly, but then she noticed Kai. "Oh um... who's your friend?"

"This is Kai, my new friend. Gramma introduced him to me," she explained. Silla then smiled at him, happy to see that Moana had made a new friend.

"Well any friend of Moana's is a friend of mine and of the village. Do you have any family nearby?"

"...No, I washed up here a few weeks ago," he lied looking down. "Tala found me and she nursed me back to health. She didn't bring me to the village because she was afraid of what they might do when seeing the way I look."

Silla nodded in understanding.

"Well, I can assure you that no harm will come to you if you come with me and Moana. You are more than welcome to stay with us, I'm sure Tui wouldn't mind either. Would you like to stay with us?"

Kai looked behind her at Moana, who smiled at him and after about a moment, he nodded excitedly, making Silla chuckle and began leading them back to the village.

Before they left though, Kai took one last look back at the ocean.

'I think I'm going to like it here,' he thought to himself and he began to walk back to the village with them.

It was then that Tui, the village chief and Moana's father, saw his wife returning with their daughter... and a little boy.

"Moana!!!," he said, running over to them and he picked her up to give her a hug. "I'm so glad that you're okay. I told you that you could be down by the water only if you had someone with you, then I see your grandmother walking back to the village."

"It's alright Tui, Tala did not leave her alone. She made a new friend," Silla explained, gesturing to Kai, and Tui grew a confused look on his face. "His name is Kai, it seems he washed up here a few weeks ago. Your mother found him on one of the beaches, and it seems that she was afraid of what the village would say because of his...appearance."

Tui took another look at Kai, to see villagers staring at him, and he nodded, understanding why his mother had decided to keep him secret. He put Moana down and bent down to Kai's height, and put his hand on his shoulder.

"You don't have to worry about being judged, you are more than welcome here."

"...Thank you," he said, truly meaning it and Tui smiled and lifted the boy up on his shoulders and began to address the people.

"People of Motunui!! Today, we welcome a new member to our village!! This is Kai!! He is one of us now, and we shall treat him as such!!!," he announced, causing some cheering and others greeting Kai.

Kai looked back at Moana and smiled, and she smiled in return. Tala, who had been watching all of this transpire from afar, saw this and she grinned.

'Life in Motunui is going to be different from now on. It'll be interesting to see what happens with those two,' she thought to herself.

Hope that this was any better. See ya later.
