"Whoa!" Sokka looked at a teenage girl with curly hair who wore special clothes since she was the chief's daughter, unaware that it was Moana all grown up and had hearts in his eyes. "Who is that?!"

"I think that's Moana." Katara said.

"Moana?" Sokka replied in shock.

"It has to be," Aang said. "She's the chief's daughter after all."

"Aang and Katara are right." Toph said.

"That's Moana...?" Sokka asked, a bit surprised and sheepish.

"Ooh, you liked her, didn't you?" Katara teased her brother.

"No!" Sokka glared slightly. "Besides I have a girlfriend, remember?"

Katara kept her smirk.

"Oh, mind your own business!" Sokka complained.

"You might wanna worry about your own boyfriend, Katara." Toph said.

"Hmm..." Katara glanced over before she looked back.

"Every storm, this roof leaks no matter how many fronds I add." A villager complained to Moana's parents as a pig was shown, pushing over a bowl as the roof leaked.

"Not the fronds, wind shifted the post." Moana told him as she climbed down after fixing the roof for him.

"Wow, that's a great job you did, Moana." Aang smiled.

"Thanks, Aang," Moana smiled back. "I've always had a knack for this stuff."

"So I see." Aang replied.

Moana took a bite of the food that the villager had. "Mm... That's good pork!"

Aang soon cleared his throat as a certain pig was in the room.

Moana looked a bit nervous as she forgot about that. "Oh, I mean... No, I wasn't... What? They calling me, so I gotta... Bye!" she then smiled nervously to the pig who looked sad about her eating pork before she dashed off.

"Nice save." Aang commented.

"You're doing great." Moana smiled, holding a villager's hand as he was getting his back marked on which seemed to just start and there was a lot more to go.

"That's gotta hurt." Katara winced.

"Talk about a pain in the backside." Sokka agreed.

"Is it done yet?" The villager winced.

"So close." Moana smiled patiently.

"Good thing I never got my back marked." Drell said.

"How's your vacation going?" Toph asked him.

"Ha, ha." Drell rolled his eyes.

"Just curious." Toph shrugged.

"Oh," Drell replied. "Um, I'd prefer it without you four."

Momo didn't seem to like what Drell said.

Drell soon laughed before Momo jumped on him. "Augh! Get off of me!" he then complained with a glare. "You... Crazy little lemur!"

Momo simply glared back.

Drell growled and began to chase after Momo. "Get back here, you rat!"

Appa didn't like how Drell was chasing Momo so he simply slammed his tail on the warlock.

"Wah!" Drell yelped before glaring as he ended in the sand from that as he was just about to use his magic to get himself out of here. "That's IT! I am out of here!"

"You can't leave us!" Aang replied.

"I can and I will!" Drell said as he soon took out his wand. "I'm going home!" But when he tried to teleport away, his magic didn't work.

"You can't leave us." Aang frowned.

"I can and I will, one way or another!" Drell glared. "I don't need this! I was promised a week away from my usual responsibilities, but nooo! I had to be stuck with Mr. Last Air-Bender and his friends!"

A wave soon hit s Drell to smack sense into him. Drell glared and soon growled, throwing a bit of a tantrum.

"Wow." Sokka said.

"I'm gonna go help Moana." Katara said as she walked away from the scene.

Sokka and Aang soon decided to join her.

Moana was soon teaching some of the kids how to properly dance. One of them was seen smirking at her.

"Show-off." Katara chuckled to herself about the boy.

Moana smiled nervously while trying to keep up the dance. Momo began to try to copy the dance. Katara giggled as that was pretty funny. The kids looked over to Momo, but felt scared around him before hiding behind Moana since they didn't know who or what he was. Momo soon stopped as he was curious why the kids stopped.

"Oh, don't worry, guys, Momo won't hurt you." Katara told the kids.

Momo nodded in agreement. The kids looked to her before looking back to him. Momo soon continued to dance which soon made them laugh.

"I believe that's yours?" Moana asked Katara.

"No. Momo belongs to Aang." Katara replied.

"Oh, I see," Moana replied. "At least he's friendly."

"Yes, he can be at times." Katara smiled.

Momo continued to do his dance. The kids giggled before dancing with him and even Moana laughed along with them.


Eventually, Moana saw a villager who had trouble with a dumb looking chicken.

"I'm curious about that chicken eating the rock," The villager said to her. "He seems to lack the basic intelligence required for pretty much everything. Should we maybe just cook him?"

"I'll do it." Drell said, grabbing the chicken by its neck.

The chicken bawked out of fear. Drell grinned to the chicken.

"Sometimes our strength lies beneath the surface," Moana smiled sheepishly. "Far beneath in some cases, but I'm sure there's more to Hei-Hei than meets the eye."

"She's right." Katara replied.

Drell gave a deadpan glance and soon dropped the chicken, and grumbled in defeat. Hei-Hei fell on the ground and soon began to eat the rock again.

"That is seriously one strange chicken." Drell said.


"It's the harvest," A villager told Moana as her parents watched her at work. "This morning, I was husking the coconuts and..." she then opened up a coconut to show its insides.

Aang and his friends visibly flinched as that did not look good at all.

"Well... We should clear the diseased trees," Moana soon suggested before pointing out a new grove. "And we will start a new grove there."

'That is a smart thing to do.' Drell thought to himself.

"Thanks, Moana," The villager said before smiling to the girl's parents. "She's doing great."

Moana's parents smiled back as the villagers soon went to go to the new grove.

"This suits you." Chief Tui smiled to Moana.

"That just leaves checking how much fish we got." Drell said.

"You like fish?" Aang asked.

"I looove fish..." Drell smiled hungrily.

"Chief! There's something you need to see." A villager alerted as he rushed over.

"I get the feeling it has something to do with the fish." Katara said.

"I hope not, I'm hungry now that I think about it." Drell replied.


They soon came to see the villager in question.

"Our traps in the east lagoon," The villager said to Moana. "They're pulling out less and less fish."

"Then we'll rotate the fishing ground." Moana suggested.

"We have, there's no fish." The villager frowned.

"So then there's no fish at all?" Katara asked.

"What if we tried fishing far side of the island?" Moana suggested.

"We tried." The villager sighed.

"The windward side?" Moana then asked.

"And the leeward side," The villager replied. "We tried the whole lagoon. They're just... Gone."

"What about past the reef?" Aang asked.

"Past the reef?" The villager replied.

"No one goes beyond the reef." Chief Tui scolded.

"But it's the only spot they haven't tried yet." Drell said.

"If there are no fish in the lagoon-" Moana added.

"Moana..." Chief Tui sighed.

"And there's a whole ocean-" Moana continued.

"We have one rule." Chief Tui then said.

"But why follow that one rule?!" Drell glared.

"It's a rule that keeps us safe!" Chief Tui glared back.

"But Dad!" Moana frowned.

"Instead of endangering our people so you can run right back to the water!" Chief Tui firmly told his daughter before sighing to her. "Every time I think you're past this. No one goes beyond the reef!"

"So you want your people and island to die?!" Drell glared at Tui.

"You don't understand, why don't you go home where you belong?" Chief Tui glared back.

"I'd love to, but I can't!" Drell shouted.

"Well, too bad for you then! Butt out!" Chief Tui glared as he soon stormed off while his daughter felt hurt.

"What's his deal?" Sokka asked.

"He's just stubborn," Drell sighed. "And to think Chief Tui's people had so much fun in the past."

"They did?" Katara asked.

"Oh, yeah, they had a lot of great adventures." Drell replied.

Moana soon left as she felt frustrated with her father.

"Why'd they stop then?" Toph asked.

"Maui." Drell narrowed his eyes.

"So that story was real?" Sokka asked.

"Yes..." Drell replied. "When he stole from the Mother Island, darkness fell. Te Ka awoke. Monsters lurked and boats stopped coming back. To protect their people, the ancient chiefs forbid voyaging. And now they have forgotten who they are. And the darkness has continue to spread, chasing away their fish, draining the life from island after island."

This was shocking to Team Avatar.

"Wait, how do you know?" Sokka asked.

"I know everything." Drell replied.

"Seriously?" Sokka asked.

"You wanna test me?!" Drell warned, shaking his fist.

"Whoa! Hey! Sorry." Sokka yelped from that.

"Anyway, please make sure Moana does go out in the ocean." Drell told them.

The four looked to each other as he soon walked off.

"I'm going to check on Moana, I think she might need a friend right now." Katara suggested.

"That sounds like a good idea." Aang said.

"Remember what I said!" Drell called out.

"We will!" The others replied.


They soon came to see Moana who appeared to be frustrated. Katara soon went over to Moana.

Moana looked over. "Oh, it's you." she then said.

"Hey, Moana," Katara gave a small smile. "How are you feeling?"

"Hmph." Moana just pouted because of what her father said.

"Still frustrated with your dad?" Katara guessed.

"You got it," Moana sighed. "I just don't understand why he has to be so hardheaded like this. He's so rough on me."

"I'm sure he means well." Katara said.

"Hmph." Moana just pouted.

Eventually, Sina came over to see her daughter. "Well, it's like what you said in front of your dad standing on a boat." she soon said to her.

"I didn't say go beyond the reef because I want to be on the ocean." Moana defended.

"It's true." Katara added.

"But you still do," Sina told Moana. "He's hard on you, because-"

"Because he doesn't get me." Moana sulked.

"Because he was you. Drawn to the ocean. Down by the shore," Sina explained. "He took a canoe, Moana. He crossed the reef and found an unforgiving sea. Waves like mountains. His best friend begged to be on that boat. He couldn't save him. He's hoping he can save you. Sometimes, who we wish we were, what we wish what we can do is just not meant to be."

Katara could now understand and the same for Moana. The others looked a bit surprised to hear more about Chief Tui's past. Sina soon left after she tried to comfort her daughter.

"Whoa." Sokka said.

"I'm really sorry, Moana." Katara frowned to her new friend.

"It's okay." Moana replied.

Katara frowned as she really wanted to help out Moana.

"I've been staring at the edge of the water, Long as I can remember, never really knowing why~," Moana began to sing to herself out of depression. "I wish I could be the perfect daughter, But I come back to the water, no matter how hard I try~"

Katara and the others began to follow Moana.

"Every turn I take every trail I track, Every path I make every road leads back to the place where I cannot go where I long to be~" Moana continued to sing. "See the line where the sky and the sea meet? It calls me! "

The pig who was named Pua soon began to follow after Moana.

"And no one knows, how far it goes, If the wind in my sail on the sea stays behind me~" Moana smiled as she soon got onto the boat and looked out into the ocean from far away.

Katara and the others were happy that Moana was doing this. Pua soon gave an oar over to Moana.

"One day I'll know, if I go there's just no telling how far I'll go~," Moana smiled as she took the oar, but she soon put it back and decided to go back into the village. "I know everybody on this island seems so happy on this island~"

Katara hoped Moana would go back to the boat. Moana soon walked along her village with Team Avatar.

"See the light as it shines on the sea? It's blinding~," Moana soon sang once she felt motivated enough to go out into the water with her new friends. "But no one knows, how deep it goes, And it seems like it's calling out to me, so come find me, And let me know, what's beyond that line, will I cross that line?, See the line where the sky meets the sea? It calls me, And no one knows, how far it goes, If the wind in my sail on the sea stays behind me, One day I'll know, how far I'll go~"

Katara and the others felt excited once this was finally happening and they were happy for Moana. The group was soon sailing now. It seemed to go really well so far.

"I can do this," Moana said calmly as they began to sail together. "There's more fish beyond the reef. There's more beyond the reef."

"But isn't it going to get difficult?" Sokka asked.

"It can't be that hard, right?" Moana smiled.

"Hmm..." Toph paused as she suddenly had a bad feeling about this.

"I think we're about to find out." Sokka said.

The ocean seemed to become a bit unpredictable as they sailed across the water.

"Not so bad." Moana smiled.

The wind soon blew hard on the sail and the waves became bigger and stronger.

"Katara!" Sokka called out while pointing to the wave.

"Ooh, let me see if I can do something." Katara said as he soon stood up and waved her arms to control the ocean's waves, but the wave didn't respond.

"Katara?!" Sokka cried out.

"I'm trying!" Katara told her brother.

"Let me try." Aang said as he tried to do the same thing only to have the same results.

"Why isn't it working?!" Sokka cried out in dismay.

Pua squealed and yelped as he was soon in the water.

"Oh, no! That pig!" Katara frowned.

"Pua!" Aang added.

Moana tried to row towards the pig to save it as a giant wave came crashing behind them. They all yelped and soon, the wave crashed down on them and the ocean became a bit dangerous.


They soon ended up back at the beach. They all groaned once they got up as they felt like they had the wind knocked out of them. Pua soon seemed scared of even going back into the water once he saw the oar on shore and ran off. Moana grunted slightly as her foot was in slight pain. They soon heard someone coming.

"What ever just happened, blame it on the pig." Tala suggested as she came over.

"Grandma..." Moana smiled innocently, trying to hide her foot, but Tala soon took it out with her cane and she looked worried. "Are you gonna tell Dad?"

"I'm his mom," Tala smiled back. "I don't have to tell him anything."

"Thanks." Toph said.

"Consider it my pleasure, dear." Tala smiled.

"He was right," Moana said as she looked out into the ocean before looking up to the mountain. "About going out there. It's time to put my stone on the mountain."

Katara and the others soon looked to see how Tala would react.

"Okay. Well, then head on back," Tala smiled as she soon walked into the water, petting some of the manta rays that swam by in the water. "Put that stone up there."

"Huh?" The others blinked in confusion.

Moana began to walk off before looking back at her grandmother. "Why aren't you trying to talk me out of it?"

"You said that's what you wanted." Tala replied.

"She's right." Toph shrugged.

"Huh?" The others asked, feeling confused right now.

"Uh... It is." Moana soon said to her grandmother.

Tala smiled as she was petting the manta rays. "When I die, I'm going to come back this one of these. Or I chose the wrong tattoo." she then said.

"Okay. I'm confused." Sokka said.

"You're not the only one... For once." Aang replied.

Sokka glanced while Aang chuckled innocently to that.

"Why are you acting weird?" Moana asked her grandmother.

"I'm the village crazy lady," Tala replied. "That's my job."

"She's not wrong." Toph shrugged.

"If there's something you want to tell me, just tell me," Moana said to her grandmother. "Is there something you want to tell me?"

"Is there something you want to hear?" Tala replied, almost like a riddle.

Of course the answer was yes. Moana didn't say anything, but she soon nodded along with her new friends. Tala smiled to that and soon took them somewhere away from the beach as it started to get dark.


"You've been told all our people's stories but one." Tala said to her granddaughter.

"What is this place?" Moana wondered.

"Do you really think our ancestors stayed within the reef?" Tala smiled before pulling back a leaf wall to show a hidden place.

"Whoa." Sokka said.

The rocks were soon cleared a way to show them a way in.

"What's in there?" Moana asked.

"The answer to the question you keep asking yourself," Tala replied. "Who are you meant to be?"

"And her answer is in there?" Sokka asked.

"Yes, perhaps you all should go with her." Tala suggested.

"Sounds good." Toph said.

Tala nodded as she allowed them to go with her as she trusted them.

"Go inside, bang the drum, and find out." Tala's voice told them as they went inside of the cave.

"What drum?" Sokka asked.

"Your guess is as good as mine." Aang said as they explored.

"Whoa... Look at this..." Moana said to them as she found many boats.

"Whoa." Katara replied.

"Hmm... This sure is getting interesting." Sokka commented.

"You said it." Aang said.

Moana explored the boats with a smile before she soon came to something with two sticks that was like a drum. She wondered if that was what her grandmother meant, so she began to bang the drum to find an answer she was looking for. The drum seemed to echo back.

"Spooky." Sokka commented.

Moana looked around and then tried to bang the drum harder this time, and the same thing happened. Moana soon tried it yet again and she soon yelped as some torches caught in fire beside her.

"Either something happened... Or Zuko is around, trying to mess with us." Sokka then said.

No one else seemed to come out.

"Zuko...?" Sokka muttered.

"I don't think it's Zuko." Aang replied.

Moana looked around the sailboats which suddenly had lit torches, and she saw pictures on the sail which showed her something she hadn't seen before, and it appeared to be her father with some of their people sailing out in the ocean, having a good time which told her one thing: "We were voyagers... We were voyagers!" she then said to herself before running outside past her grandmother. "We were voyagers! We were voyagers! We were voyagers! Why'd we stop?" she then asked the older woman.

"Maui." Tala told her granddaughter the same story that Drell told Team Avatar.

The others listened anyway even though they already heard it.

"Monsters lurked and boats stopped coming back," Tala told her granddaughter. "To protect our people, the ancient chiefs forbid voyaging. And now we have forgotten who we are. And the darkness has continue to spread, chasing away our fish, draining the life from island after island."

"Our island?" Moana replied.

"But one day, someone will journey beyond our reef, find Maui, deliver him across the great ocean to restore the heart of Te Fiti," Tala nodded. "I was there that day. The ocean chose you."

They were soon shown what was happening to the island.

"Whoa... Check out the water..." Katara whispered.

"Whoa..." Aang said.

"I thought it was a dream..." Moana said to herself.

The water soon danced in front of them before splashing down onto all of them, except for Tala.

"Nope! Our ancestors believed Maui lies there at the bottom of his hook," Tala replied, pointing to the stars with her cane in the night sky. "Follow it and you will find him."

"Yeah, let's go, but wait, what about the waves?" Katara asked.

"But... Why'd it choose me?" Moana soon asked. "I don't even know how to make it past the reef... But I know who does." she then said once she got an idea and soon ran off, leaving her grandmother and new friends.

"Who does she have in mind?" Toph asked.

"Maybe her father?" Aang guessed.

"Ooh. Bad idea." Toph winced.

Tala watched them go as she looked back to the stars.
