Hello, everyone. Sorry this chapter has taken so long to write. I only started to really write it up to day. It usually takes a day or two for an idea to fully form in my head. Sometimes I'll use an existing story idea to start the chapter then I'll edit, change and add to it as I go. This story and He Makes Me Feel Safe (HMMFS) have been ridiculously easy to write. Between both stories I have post about five soon to be six chapter in the space of about a week. Thankyou again to everyone who has read this story and my other Moana story.

I do not reply on reviews. If you have read any of my other stories you will know I enjoy watching the view count of my stories go up as more and more people read them someone reviewing is just a bonus. You may be confused as to why I put the views for this story and HMMFS in each story, its my way of keeping track of the progress of my story and its also fun.

On Ao3 where this story is also posted along with HMMFS the hits (views) on each story can be seen by everyone, though they can remain hidden if the author wishes though its not very common, at least not with the stories I have read. As of the moment this story has 488 views while HMMFS has 254. Thankyou again to everyone who has read either story.

Tui and Sina were having a discussion with the elders about Moana and her progress over the last ten years, they jumped when they heard a scream only to see one of the boys had been knocked into the water by one of his friends. It reminded Tui of the day they had met Maui for the first time.

Ten Years Earlier - Montinui

Tui and Sina were trying to decided when the best time to leave Montinui would be when a boy ran into their fale saying Moana was being 'attacked' by a man on the beach. Tui and Sina shared a look before they ran out of the fale and down to the beach worried their daughter might be hurt. What they found was far more interesting.

Moana covered in seaweed and sand was standing a few paces away from a large tattooed man who was looked like he was about to throw something at Moana, whatever it was made her scream. Moana didn't take her eyes off the man as she picked something up off the beach and threw it at the man who dodged while laughing.

"...ui I'm going to murder you," Moana yelled as she dodged whatever the man threw back at her, Sina could tell Moana wasn't really as mad as she looked just really annoyed, which was understandable everyone would be mad if they were getting seaweed and sand thrown at them, the large smile on her was a little unfamiliar.

Moana hadn't smiled much since she got back from her adventure, she would only smile when she was retelling the adventure she had to the village children with hundredth time. Tui and Sina really didn't know what to think when Moana had told them everything she had been through, well almost everything. They knew she was keeping some things from them.

"No. Your not Princess," the man replied as Moana tackled him somehow managing to throw him off balance with a little help from the ocean, Moana grabbed the man's bone white fish hook and quickly got up and out of the man's grab range as he got to his feet and tapped his back like he was looking for something. Moana grinned.

"Looking for something?" Moana asked holding out the fishhook like it weighed nothing even though it was nearly as tall if not taller then she was , the man glared at her and then started to chase her though Sina could tell he wasn't actually trying to catch her. Moana laughed as she dodged the man's grabbing hand.

"Give it back Princess," the man yelled almost catching Moana for the second time but she slipped away at the last moment, Tui and Sina shared a look wondering what was going on. Moana clearly knew the man as she continued to play a more fast paced version of keep away, they had no idea she was the fast on her feet. Being able to change direction in a split second.

"In your Shark Head. What's the matter can't you catch a mortal like me?" Moana teased as she managed to avoid being caught. Tui and Sina stared at their daughter wondering why she would say something like that unless the man wasn't human. Sina just hoped Moana would be careful, the man looked to be very strong. She made a startled sound when the man almost grabbed Moana.

Moana paused looking around for the source of the sound and was about to start running again when the man grabbed her head lifting her off the ground making her squeak in surprise and hug the fishhook. She looked more then a little annoyed at being caught, Sina felt a little guilty knowing she was the reason Moana got caught by the man.

"Let me go you bastard," Moana yelled glaring at the man who just stared at her with a raised eyebrow. Moana bent her feet a little as only the tips of her toes were touching the ground. It made for a very comical sight to see Moana being held off of the ground by only the man's hand while hugging the now giant fishhook.

"I win, give it back and I let you go besides we have guests," the replied holding out his other hand for th fishhook while turning Moana so she could see her parents as well as nearly half the village standing in the tree line watching the two of them. Moana huffed tightening her arms around the hook but squeaked when she saw her parents. The man lifted her so she was eye level with him and gave her a pointed look.

"Oh alright fine! Mum Dad how long have you been standing there?" Moana snapped turning her head a little to look at her parents wondering just how much of the 'argument' they had seen. The Man smirked and Moana looked so very tempted to kick him as she loosened her grip on the fishhook but didn't let go allowing him to grab it, and swing it over her shoulder.

The Man set Moana down carefully, she wobbled a bit the man steadied her before removing his hand from her hand, Moana started to pull the bits of seaweed out of her hair with a little help from the man and brushed the stand off her clothes and arms. Tui, Sina and villagers slowly made there way over to Moana and the man unsure of what to do.

Moana shared a look with the man as a big smile crossed her face, the man nodded and picked her up placed her on his shoulder, Moana wrapped her hand around the side of the Man's neck she smile at the shocked looks on her parents faces. Tui and Sina could easily tell Moana was comfortable around this man - Moana very rarely allowed anyone to pick her up.

"Mum, Dad may I introduce Maui shape shifter demi-god of the wind and sea, hero of all and the one who helped me restore Te Fiti's heart," Moana explained like it was perfectly normal every day thing to introduce your parents to your best friend who just happened to be a demi-god and the one who stole Te Fiti's heart.

End Flashback - Present day

Maui had been nothing but kind and very tolerant, they had been nearly outright hostile to him, it was in part because he was a known to be a tricker and may have been planning something. Maui would often ask Moana to help with a quest, she would be more then happy to go, Tui suspected he didn't always need her help with a quest and just wanted her company.

After the quest was over Maui would stick around for a few days before leaving again. Moana would always tell them what had happened while she was away. Tui got the impression Moana had changed the story somehow, why she would do that Tui didn't know, there were clearly somethings Moana didn't want them to know about. It was okay though, she wasn't in any real danger with Maui around was she?


There another chapter finished. I thought it would be beneficial to expand on why Tui, Sina and the villagers don't like Maui all that much and the reason why they were being so mean to him. The original draft for this chapter was just the flashback with Moana and Maui on the beach of one of the islands they had stopped on shortly before they left Montinui.

The idea for this chapter had to do with the ocean throwing kelp/seaweed at Moana and Maui, the two of them being annoyed because this wasn't the first time it had happened and than they stared at throw it at each other. It was meant to be a fun little short which ended up turning into the people of Montinui meeting Maui.

I hope you enjoyed this chapter, please review and tell me what you think. Chapter 5 will be up next, focusing on what happened after the chapter nightmare and back to Moana and Maui. I will try my best to get it up for you tomorrow. The first half of the chapter is already written, I was going to add it to this one but thought it would be better if I saved it for the next chapter.

Before I forget, here's another story recommendation. If any of you like Harry Potter then you may like JasminSky's story The True Hair to Slytherin, even though it only has 25 chapters they are pretty long and cover quite a lot. I love the story to bits and am sure you will enjoy it. Thankyou for reading and I hope you have a pleasant day/night.
