All right, and now we come to the final chapter of this story! Hopefully you guys enjoyed this story as much as I enjoyed writing for it, but I figure it's time I wrapped this story up! Anyway, enjoy!


Moana jerked up as her eyes widened, feeling her body being wet all over as she took a deep breath.

"Oh thank goodness! You're not dead!"

Moana turned to Maui quickly as he was looking over with a concerned look on her face. "M-Maui? What happened? Are we married?"

"Married?" Maui's eyes widened in shock. "What are you talking about?"

"Married! You know, what we had to go through in the Cave of- of..." Moana paused as she stopped as she took a look around at where she was... she and Maui weren't trapped in a cave... but they were sitting on their boat, the same boat that Moana thought floated off far into the water. "H-huh? The Wayfinder? THE WAYFINDER! It came back! Oh Maui, we're married and we have the boat back!"

"I'm sorry, we're what?" Maui said, still confused.

It was then Moana paused as she looked around, realizing that she was on the boat in the middle of the ocean, the basket that was next to Maui had some food in it, and Heihei was busy poking at the wood of the boat. As she blinked in confusion, Maui quickly grabbed some bananas from the basket and peeled one for her. "Here, eat something."

Moana, with no hesitation, and still in confusion, grabbed the banana and started munching on it as the demi-god looked down at the young woman. "Are you feeling better?"

"I-" Moana started... before pausing as she turned to Maui. "Maui... did the boat ever leave us, and did we go into a cave at one point?"

Maui blinked as he shook his head. "Uh... no. I would have recalled that. And there was no way you could have lost the Wayfinder, I saw you tie it up good."

Moana looked so confused as she said, "Wh-what happened?"

Maui paused as he thought about what had happened from his point-of-view.


Both Maui and Moana were walking back towards the beach as Moana was holding the basket of supplies, keeping a watchful eye on Maui as she looked towards the supplies, walking towards the beach

"Okay, I think this'll be about enough to last us a few days." Moana said.

"You know, you should thank me. I did use my hook to swipe that big bundle of bananas down." Maui smirked.

Moana rolled her eyes as the two were inching closer to the boat. "Maui, you are so... uh..."

It was then Maui noticed that Moana was feeling a little... strange as she seemed to stumble a little bit, her eyes looking a little glazed. The demigod blinked in confusion, asking, "Are you feeling okay?"

Moana looked over as her eyes squinted towards the parked boat. "Where did we dock our boat?"

"What are you talking about, Princess? The boat's right there! And there's the chicken!" Maui frowned as Moana seemed to mumble something before taking two steps... and stumbling down to the ground, dropping the basket of supplies with her.

"Princess?" Maui said in concern as he flipped her over and try to feel her heartbeat. "Moana? Mo? Wake up, please!"

Maui started to feel her head and her stomach a bit as he looked concerned. "Oh no... she must have been more hungry than I thought..."

It was then the demigod looked down towards his tattoo, Mini-Maui, for consultation, as Mini-Maui pointed to the boat and made a motion to carry Moana.

"You're right, little guy. She needs to get on the boat now!" Maui said as he scooped up Moana in his arms and put her gently into the boat before taking Heihei and the basket of supplies and put them back in the boat before cutting the ropes up and setting sail.


"You collapsed from hunger and went unconscious." Maui said in concern. "You've been in a bit of a coma for at least two days."

"I-I have?" Moana said in surprise. "So... we didn't enter a magic cave that entrapped us and wouldn't let us go until we're married?"

Maui blinked in shock as he frowned, "You must have dreamt all that, because I would have remembered staying in a magic cave."

"But... what about the rain and all the ocean and... then you hugging me for comfort and trying to... to..." Moana said as she felt her body. "I got wet quite a lot."

"The whole times you got wet... probably because of the ocean. I told it to try and wake you up and it did in various ways. You just wouldn't wake up. So... I spent the two days, when not focusing on Te Fiti, looking after you and making sure you didn't die on me." Maui sighed. "And I will admit that I may have protected your body against the sun and tried to maybe get you to eat when your mouth was open."

"You- I- you..." Moana started to say, a little disappointed that none of the stuff she had witnessed ever happened... before something dawned on her. "You did all that for me?"

"Well, yeah. I mean, come on, Princess, SOMEONE has to make sure you're all right. I don't know what I could have done without you, except maybe keep my word." Maui blushed a bit.

"I..." Moana looked up to Maui with a warm smile. "Thanks. I'm sorry I caused you so much worry."

"As you should be!" Maui laughed. "But you're forgiven. I may be a demigod, but you're a human, and I think you deserve life."

Moana paused as she looked out at the ocean... and paused. "But why? Why did you save me? You could have just as easily left me to die and go off on your own."

"I don't think the Ocean would have let me done that." Maui rolled his eyes. "And besides, you saved my life back at Tamatoa's place. That, and... well, I never turn down a pretty woman's help."

Moana gave a giggle as she posed. "Oh, so you think I'm pretty?"

"Well... pretty in terms of you... well..." Maui blushed as he turned away. "That is to say, you're a wonderful girl for a mortal and..."

Moana paused as she leaned over and puckered her lips as she tapped Maui on the shoulder. Maui turned around as her lips made contact with his lips. After a couple of seconds, Moana pulled away, causing Maui to smile and blush for a moment as Moana giggled.

"Consider this a thank you, Maui, not only for taking care of me when I was unconscious, but for not ditching me." Moana gave a warm smile.

"I, er... you're welcome. Now that you're okay, do you want a little more help in sailing?" Maui asked.

"I think I need a little more time to rest... maybe get something to eat so I can think rationally. You sail for a while." Moana said as she grabbed a couple more bananas in the basket.

Maui nodded as he looked towards the sails, then turned towards Moana, "All right. Just let me know when you're ready to sail again."

Moana gave a nod as she sat down near the edge of the boat and started eating bananas as she looked over at the water, looking down as she started to reflect.

"I guess the Cave of Love was all just a 'I want to marry Maui' dream after all... so me confessing to him that I have dreams of marrying him when I was young... never even happened..." Moana sighed as she started to chewed on her third bite of banana. "Still, it does make me wonder... do I have a chance with Maui? Am I starting to feel something for him? Maybe after the whole affair with Te Fiti's over, maybe I'll introduce him to my father and the village... will he want to stay, though? I want to go on adventures with him too, but I think he would like it in my village... well, who knows?"

Meanwhile, as Maui was sailing and starting to head in the direction of Te Fiti, he looked over towards Moana as he was thinking for himself.

"I can't believe Moana kissed me! I mean, I always expect a lot of swoons from pretty girls, but this is the first time one actually kissed me... but Moana... she's different." Maui thought to himself. "At first, I thought she was just a bratty young woman who's a little more headstrong, going in over her head, but the more I hang out with her, the more I see that she has spunk, something I like. Hmmm... maybe if the gods forgive me, maybe I can request Moana to be a demi-god alongside me? Could it be possible? I haven't had a serious girlfriend in a long time... and Moana... oh Moana... I never thought I would say this, but..."

Moana and Maui looked into each other's eyes as they shared a small smile, both of them thinking the same thought.

"Whatever happens, I want this person by my side."


THE END

AN ORANGE RATCHET FANFICTION


All right, nice to have this story done and out of the way! How did you guys like it? Overall, I thought the story was pretty charming in and of itself. If some of you didn't like the 'it was a dream' plot, I'm sorry, I hate that plotline too, but I knew I wanted this part so that I can have Moana and Maui question if they could possibly have a relationship with each other. Next Moana story I do write though, I'll probably have it take place after the whole Te Fiti affair! And maybe, just maybe, we'll see a lot more Maui x Moana action! Won't that make you feel excited! Well, either way, I'm looking forward to the next time I write a Moana fanfiction, but for now, I think I'm going to call it here! Anyway, thank you all for reading, and have a very wonderful day!
