Justin and Justine yelled out as they soon ended up on a tropical island.

"Where are we?" Justin asked.

"We're on the tropical island." Justine observed.

There was a girl around their age with a leaf wreathe on her head who passed by the many villagers who came to her, asking for her help. "Oh, no, those kids are hurt or something," she then said once she saw the Reid twins and decided to go over to them. "I better go see them."

Justin and Justine stood up together and straightened each other out, but they were surprised that they were wearing clothing that fit in with the time period they were in.

"Excuse me, are you two all right?" The girl asked the Reid twins.

"Yeah, you must be Moana, right?" Justin replied.

"That's right, but how did you know?" The girl wondered.

"Uh, who doesn't know the Chief's daughter?" Justine smiled nervously and innocently.

"So, who are you two?" Moana asked them.

"I'm Justin Reid, and this is my twin sister, Justine Reid." Justin introduced.

"So I see..." Moana replied. "Well, I suppose, as you know, I am Moana Waialiki."

"It's very nice to meet you." Justine smiled.

"Likewise, so what brings you to my village?" Moana asked.

"Uh... Well... We came for a visit?" Justine smiled nervously.

"Oh, well, I'd love to stay and talk, but I have a busy life over here." Moana told the twins apologetically.

"Could we go into your village?" Justin asked.

"Well, I guess it wouldn't hurt to bring a couple of guests over into the village." Moana replied.

Justin and Justine smiled as they came to follow Moana.


"Every storm, this roof leaks no matter how many fronds I add." A villager frowned to Moana.

"Fixed!" Moana smiled as she then fixed the roof until the wind shifted the post. "Not the fronds."

"Aaugh!" The villager yelped.

Justin and Justine winced nervously for Moana.

"Do you want some help?" Justine offered. "We can help you if you want."

"Really?" Moana smiled.

"Sure." Justin smiled back.

"You don't have to." Moana smiled.

"We want to," Justine said. "Besides, this is a lot of work for just one person."

"Wow, thanks." Moana beamed.

The Reid twins then helped out the Chief's daughter.


A villager then handed a platter of food.

"Mmm... That's good pork." Moana smiled.

This made a nearby pig whimper and shake nervously at the mention of 'pork'.

"Oh! I didn't mean... I wasn't..." Moana smiled nervously before clearing her throat. "What? They're calling me, so... I gotta... Bye!"

Justine soothed the pig and pet it. The pig calmed down and smiled to her.

"So, which village are you guys from?" Moana asked the Reid twins.

"Uh, actually, we're, um, orphans, so our village got destroyed when we were kids, leaving us as the only survivors." Justin stated.

"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that; how did you survive?" Moana asked.

"We, uh, got lucky, I guess." Justine stammered slightly, though she felt uncomfortable with lying.

"I've been raising my little sister since then and being a good big brother to her." Justin added.

'Oh, yes, definitely, he's the best big brother ever." Justine smiled innocently.

A chicken was soon wandering around before eating a rock.

"I'm glad that you two have each other," Moana said to them. "I'm so sorry about what happened to your village; it must've been tough losing your friends and your family."

"Yeah... You have no idea..." Justin mumbled softly.

Justine whimpered slightly as she was then fiddling with her necklace.

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

"Sometimes our strengths lie beneath the surface," Moana replied. "Far beneath in some cases. But I'm sure there's more to Heihei than meets the eye."

"It's the harvest," A village woman said. "This morning, I was husking coconuts, and-"

"Well... We should clear the diseased trees," Moana replied before she pointed to the better looking and healthier trees. "And we will start a new grove there."

"Thanks, Moana," The woman smiled. "She's doing great."

Moana smiled back as she visited with Justin and Justine to the needy villagers. Chief Tui and Sina came over and saw their daughter talking to her new friends.

"Moana, who are these strangers on our village?" Chief Tui asked his daughter.

"This is Justin and Justine Reid," Moana informed. "They're orphans and their village was destroyed when they were kids."

"Oh, dear..." Sina frowned.

"We've been wandering all our lives to find a home and family..." Justine told the Chief and his wife.

"And I've been raising my twin sister since we were kids, protecting her from anything." Justin added.

"That's very noble of you, I suppose you could stay with us." Chief Tui replied.

"Chief?" A fisherman warned Tui. "There's something you need to see. Our traps in the east lagoon, they're pulling up less and less fish."

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

"We have, there's no fish." The fisherman told her.

"Why don't you fish to the far side of the island?" Justin suggested.

"We tried." The fisherman replied.

"The windward side?" Justin asked.

"And the leeward side, the shallows, the channel," The fisherman sulked. "We've tried the whole lagoon. They're just gone."

"I would talk to the counselor," Chief Tui suggested. "I'm sure we'll-"

"What if... We fished beyond the reef?" Justine suggested.

"No one goes beyond the reef." Chief Tui replied firmly as it was a rule of their village.

"I know, but if there are no fish in the lagoon-" Moana tried.

"Moana..." Chief Tui warned.

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

"We have one rule." Chief Tui reminded her.

"An older rule, when there were fish." Moana replied.

Justin and Justine watched the Chief and his daughter speak with each other.

"A rule that keeps us safe..." Chief Tui replied.

"But Dad, I-" Moana frowned.

"Instead of endangering our people so you can run right back to the water." Chief Tui continued.


A young boy and a girl who seemed to be his sister looked over to the interaction. Justin and Justine thought that the boy looked familiar somehow, but they couldn't place where right now.

"Every time I think you're past this," Chief Tui sighed to his daughter. "No one goes beyond the reef!"

Justin and Justine frowned before Chief Tui stormed off, away from his daughter.

"Well, it's not like you said it in front of your dad," Sina tried to soothe Moana. "Standing on a boat."

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

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

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

"Because he was you," Sina told her daughter gently. "Drawn to the ocean. Down by the shore. 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."

There was soon rumbling thunder heard.

"Let this be a lesson to you guys that life isn't always easy, even as the daughter of a chief." Moana said to the Reid twins.

"At least you have a dad to care about you and protect you." Justin slightly muttered.

"What was your father like?" Moana asked. "Was he like my father?"

"Well, based on what we remember, Dad was very smart, and funny, and handsome..." Justine smiled softly as she thought back to when her and Justin's lives were simple. "He used to tell us all sorts of amazing stories, and he'd carry me on his shoulders when we'd watch fireworks or a parade."

"I bet you miss him... Don't you?" Moana asked knowingly.

"Every day..." Justine sighed as a tear ran down her face while holding onto her necklace.

"Oh, I'm sorry... Is that necklace from him?" Moana asked softly, feeling bad for Justine while Justin did his best to comfort her.

"Yes, he gave this to me when I was a little girl," Justine sighed. "He said that it was a gift from the gods and goddesses... Both mine and Justin's."

"Wow, that's amazing," Moana replied. "So, you guys worship the gods and goddesses, huh?"

"We were raised to anyway..." Justin told Moana. "Our uncle used to tell us stories about the Ancient Hawaiians."

"Amazing," Moana replied. "So, tell me, what was your mother like?"

Justin and Justine hesitated about speaking of their mother.

"Well...?" Moana asked them.

"Well... You see... Our mother wasn't exactly Mother of the Year..." Justin told her. "She wasn't very nice."

"She wasn't nice?" Moana asked.

"The worst mother in the world..." Justin rolled his eyes. "She even tried to separate us when we were growing up."

"Oh, no!" Moana gasped. "Why would she do something like that?"

"Because she's a harlot." Justine grumbled about her mother.

"I'm so sorry that your mother is like that." Moana told them.

"It's okay, to be honest with you, she was never even our mother." Justin sighed sharply.

"She wasn't?" Moana asked.

"She was just an awful woman who married our father..." Justine said softly. "Be thankful you have yours."

"Well, in our village, everyone is family, including you two." Moana told them.

Justin and Justine smiled as they felt touched by that.


The two other siblings were wandering.

"More family members?" Sina asked.

"Please, Miss, but our parents were killed, and we need shelter." The boy frowned as he helped support his sister.

"I don't know why, but that boy looks familiar..." Justine whispered to her twin brother about the orphan.

"I know what ya mean..." Justin agreed. "It can't be Dad or Uncle Jose though, he doesn't look like either of them."

"Who do you think it could be though?" Justine asked.

"I don't know." Justin shrugged.

"You poor dears..." Sina frowned. "May I ask who you are?"

"My name is Tito Makani, and this is my sister, Titania." The boy said.

"Uncle Tito?!" Justin and Justine looked at each other in surprise.

"Seems like a lot of people need new homes these days..." Sina said. "Come along, children."

Moana looked over to the kids with a small smile as they reminded her of herself when she was younger and wanted to explore the ocean, but wasn't allowed to.

"Justin?" Justine called.

"Yeah?" Justin replied.

"Can we beat Te Ka?" Justine asked nervously. "I mean, what if we can't?"

"Justine, you need to stop worrying," Justin told his sister. "Drell wouldn't have sent us here if he didn't think we were ready."

"I know, but-" Justine frowned.

"But nothing," Justin told her. "I know we can do it; we have the power to do it, we could be on the same level as Te Ka."

Justine bit her lip. "I hope you're right."

The twins soon hugged each other as this was going to be a big adventure for the two of them.

"Whoa!" Moana's voice was heard before splashing.

"Moana?" Justine turned her head in concern.

"I can do this," Moana told herself. "There's more fish beyond the reef. There's more beyond the reef."

There was then snorting heard which was from the pig.

"Aw, such a cute pig, is he yours?" Justine asked Moana.

"Yeah, he's my best friend," Moana smiled back. "His name is Pua."

"Can I pet him?" Justine asked.

"Sure, he won't bite." Moana allowed.

Justine smiled to Pua and soon pet him. Pua smiled back up to Justine and snorted to her.

"Aww, you're so cute," Justine cooed. "Yes, you are, yes, you are~"

"He is pretty cute," Justin chuckled. "So, you named him Pua?"

"We thought that'd be a cute name for him," Moana replied. "We were going to have him for a harvest, but I didn't want him to get killed... He grew attached to me, so, he became my pet."

"Well, he's so adorable." Justine smiled.

"Thank you." Moana smiled back.

Pua snorted with a smile.

"Oh, he likes you." Moana smiled to Justine.

"My sister's loved animals since she was a baby," Justin told Moana. "She's quite an animal lover."

"I can see, and Pua loves her." Moana giggled.


"What ever just happened, blame it on the pig." An old woman advised Moana.

"Grandma..." Moana muttered. "Are you going to tell Dad?"

"I'm his mom," The old woman told her granddaughter. "I don't have to tell him anything."

"Grandma, this is Justin and Justine, they're orphans, so they're staying with us for a while," Moana introduced. "Jusitn and Justine, this is Tala, my grandmother."

"Well, it's good to meet you two, just as long as you aren't pains in the butts." Tala smirked, showing she was a cool old lady.

"Oh, don't worry, we're not," Justin promised. "We promise you that."

"Dad was right," Moana sighed. "About going out there. It's time to put my stone on the mountain."

"Okay, well, then, head on back," Tala supported. "Put that stone up there."

"Why aren't you trying to talk me out of it?" Moana asked her grandmother.

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

"It is." Moana confessed.

"That's awesome of you." Justine smiled.

"Oh, thank you, my dear." Tala smiled back to Justine.

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

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

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

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

"Is there something you want to hear?" Tala asked. "You've been told all our people's stories... But one."

"Is that right?" Justine asked the old woman.

"Come with me, children." Tala decided to lead them somewhere.

Moana and the Reid twins looked at each other in confusion and follow after the old woman.
