~Neteyam's POV ~
My family and I had to venture to get away from the sky people. We had to leave to protect us and the rest of the Omatikaya clan. It took days to get to where we were going and the weather and such tired us out.

We arrived on an island. We landed and got off of our Ikrans. The light blue skinned people surrounded us. Their features were so much different from ours. They had four fingers and wide arms and fish like tails.

They judged us with their looks and it made us uncomfortable. The leader stepped up and began talking to my dad while his wife and my mother hissed at eachother dislikingly. My eyes were met with a bun worn boy and his friend. They walked up and stared intently at each of us but he mostly stared at me.

As soon as he saw our tails he laughed. "Look at their strange tails!" "They are so thin! How do you swim?!" His friend join in. I ignored it as these types of things did not bother me. They grabbed at Lo'ak's tail and he knocked their hands away, hissing and barring his teeth at them.

"Chill monkey boy were just playing" they chuckled to themselves. A beautiful girl came up to them and told them to behave as we are guest and to treat us with respect. "So knock it off Aonung" Aonung huh? He seems very prideful of himself, and maybe I think he's handsome. "I am Tsireya and I will show your family to where they'll be staying" she led us to a hut, "tomorrow at sunrise we will teach you the ways of the Metkayina!"

She said joyful. "Children you must behave especially you-" yes father" Lo'ak cut his sentence short. "That is the one thing I am asking you guys." "So behave" we all drifted to sleep preparing for the big day tomorrow.

I awoke to the morning sun shining brightly on my face, I got up rubbing my face, I walked to the place we were supposed to meet reya. I walked there and my siblings were there already. Tsireya told me we would practice on breathing for session one. "Follow us!" Her and Aonung hoped into the water and they were really fast. We had to keep coming up for air so it took us some time to get there.

~ Aonung's POV ~
The young one I have no likes for him, but the oldest I am interested in. He holds himself high with confidence not caring what people think for him. I have no care for that nor am I interested in it. What is wrong with them, I signed to Reya, but I want to ruin that for him. When I saw him I felt challenged and I don't like that it makes me feel weak so the challenge I will answer to. They arrived to where we were and reya split us up into groups.

Kiri took Tuk and went with Roxto, Reya with ugh I can't stand that name Lo'ak, Neteyam was with me. "You guys are fast and we do not understand the signs you use, we have to keep coming up for air. "You are not good divers you guys may be able to swing through trees b-" reya smacked me in my head causing everyone to laugh I displayed a fake smile and winked at Neteyam hoping to make him feel something at least.

"Come onn monkey boy, this way" I teased. We were sat on a rock and I told him to breath with me, I unexpectedly put my hand on his chest and the Navi opened his eyes. He stared at me shocked but I ended up observing his body. I stared back up at him. "Are you done?" I said nothing but this made me angry he has no reaction and reacts to me in no way. I just smirked and called an ilu "woo! tuc woo tuc tuc tuc tuc" I hoped he was impressed.

I have to admit that I was impressed, it was slightly attractive but I ignored that thought Everyone gathered around. "I saved this for the second session Aonun-"

I signed to her and gave her a look, she understood my feelings. "Everyone! Listen up!" "These are ilu" "If you want to live here, you must ride" I said motioning my arms and hands. I helped Neteyam onto one. "Your brother is a optimistic one.

Does he always rush into things?" "He takes up after my dad" Neteyam answered laughing. His smile is nice. Neteyam took off with the ilu after connecting his braid to it, he managed to keep on for 10 seconds straight until he was knocked off by water pressure.

He kept trying until I decided to help him. "Push your back farther than your head monkey boy that way the water pressure won't knock you back, your body will follow with the water"

After training for today we all sat in the sand relaxing. We would train again tomorrow so this is a good time to just chill. "You know Aonung I really do love your hair" "who couldn't" I sighed and ignored his comment.

~ Aonung's POV ~
I wouldn't lie that caught me off guard, it made me feel some type of way I didn't know what. I've always been the one to make others feel fear, shy, crushing on me and such. But Neteyam was a difficult one to read. I got up and stretched my long braid swinging slightly. "Race you monkey boy..nothings off limits!"

I jumped into the water and began swimming. He jumped in after grabbing me by my leg and pulling me back, but wasn't able to. I turned around and met with Neteyam's yellow eyes. "Looks like I won monkey boy" "maybe next time" I hummed. Neteyam smiled and I let one slip. "Woah" I immediately looked at him with a blank yet annoyed expression I heard our parents call us. We said our goodbyes and that night I could stop thinking about him

I sat on my bed fixated on Aonung's one second smile. I don't know what I'm feeling but it's a warm fuzzy feeling when I think of him. I couldn't even sleep, I barely slept..
