So here's the next chapter


Moana and Maui weren't blind , not to most things , they could tell which hut had the betting pot in it. They could tell that the other knows about it, they just weren't sure what to do about it and the tension between them.

This was a serious and very important matter , Maui was an immortal demigod and Moana was the chief of the village. She was expected to get a husband who could help her lead and protect the village.

Maui might be able to do that but he couldn't go exploring or help the other villages as often , almost 1/5 as much of the time that he does now. Also Moana will age and Maui won't, does she want a husband who won't age with her or he a wife that will eventually die? Does he want to watch their child or children grow up , have families and then die? Would it be worth it?

Or would it be safer for Moana to marry one of her mortal suitors and the friends to try and get over the tension between them? This was dangerous grounds for them.

But Moana noticed that part of the tension around Maui was different , at least she could ask about that and not feel like she was walking on broken shells.

"Maui , what is it?" she asked as he lounged on the deck of her boat when she was emptying some of the far fish traps.*

"What do you mean Curly? " he asked while ' is she blind to the tension or does she just not care that way?' flashed across his mind. " Something out at sea has you a bit worried. I doubt that something that wasn't a threat to the nearby islands would worry you. So what is it? "

" You really have a sense for danger don't you Curly." ** " I'm village chief and friends with you , it's my job. "

" the Kakamara ." " they're not much of a threat when you can dodge their darts Maui , you and I both know that." she told him with an arched eyebrow to try and prompt him to continue .

" yes , but unless they have large numbers , larger than what we faced on the quest to return the heart of Te fiti , they don't try and attack unless they're drawn in by something." he explained. " like the heart." " Yes , or the coming of a large monster." " Are you going to track down the monster to add to your long list of feats?" " No , with this its easier to stick around and wait." " but the waiting is the hardest part." he grunted an agreement.

" cheer up ; it could be worst. You have 3 near by islands to wow the children on , you can offer to help work to pass the time or you can find something. You're not stuck on that deserted island anymore." Moana told him as she turned her boat for home.


bit short but it seemed like a good place to end it since what comes next seems better to be at the start of a new chapter. remember Reviews will always brighten my day.
