The Call (A Moana x Maui Fanfiction)

Chapter 1

   Chapter 1 

   Maui's POV

  I just stole the heart of Te Fiti from Te Fiti herself and let me tell you, I have no regrets whatsoever. The humans will finally love me and worship the ground that I, the great Maui, demigod of the wind and sea, hero to all, walks on. Though the only downside to all of this is that I'm fleeing for my life to get away from the demon that Te Fiti now is. I wasn't expecting this to happen, but I just have to roll with it. After flying through what feels like hours of smoke and ash, I manage to break free of it with the heart in my possession. I know just the place I'm going to bring it too. There's a girl living with Tamatoa down in Lalotai that I want to impress. I don't have a thing for her, I just want to piss of Tamatoa and hear some praise about yours truly, myself. You might call me egocentric, I call myself awesome. It takes centuries of practice to be as awesome as me. Even then, you might never be as awesome as me. 

  The voyage to Lalatoi from the now crumbling Te Fiti is only two days, which is a lot shorter than most of my voyages. As much as I love voyaging, I could use a bit of a break. I'm not going to show off the heart right away, I'm going to wait until I'm rested enough and am ready to flee once again before doing so. I can't wait to see the look on crabcake's face when I prove to him that I was able to steal the heart of Te Fiti and win over his mortal girl today all in one fell swoop. 

Moana's POV

 High school sucks. I'm only a month into my junior year and I'm just done. I'm loaded up with five to seven hours of homework and studying a night, I was forced into taking three AP classes to make myself look good on college applications, I'm being forced to apply to colleges period even though I'm not entirely sure college is for me, and I have no friends. I spent my first two years of high school trying to reach out to new people and make friends, but when nothing came out of it by the end of sophomore year, I just realized that people suck and I guess I'm not good enough to have friends. It's always funny when my parents ask me about my friends because my response to them is always "What are friends?" I know I sound like a wiseass but it's the truth. What are friends? I've never had a true friend, even before high school. 

   The only friend I can say that makes me happy and comforts me when I'm upset is the ocean. As soon as I finish my homework, even if it's like midnight, I'll walk down the road and sit by the ocean. That's the one thing I love about living here in Florida, the ocean is just a few skips down the road in a majority of the state. If it weren't for being so close to the ocean, I'd probably be long gone. Well there is one other reason to stay, my grandmother Tala. She's the only family member who gets me. She never judges me, supports me in whatever I do, keeps a secret when needed, and shares my love of the ocean. Gramma Tala wakes up at sunrise just so she can dance with the ocean. The town calls her the crazy lady but I love it when she dances by the ocean. It's like she's one with the ocean. I secretly envy it. I hope that she invites me to join her sometime in doing so as well. 

   Anyways the bright side is I have my first day of the school year without any homework surprisingly so I can go straight down to the ocean. I don't drive yet so I bike there since it's Florida and it's like summer all year around. When I get there, I throw my bag and binders down, instantly running into the ocean, smiling as the cool waves crash against my body. 

A little while later...

   Just as I'm about to get out of the ocean, a green light flashes before me. That's strange, the ocean isn't supposed to be flashing green. As I look closer, I see that it's a green gem of sorts. A wave motions with it's metaphorical head for me to take it. This is differently weird. The ocean isn't supposed to be so human like. I mean I know it has a mind of it's own, but I don't remember the ocean being so personified. Something must not be right in the universe. I wonder if it has anything to do with some of the gods that I've read about in the history books both in school and the ones I happen to own. I'm a spiritual girl, which is another trait I got from my grandmother. She's taught about all of the gods from our culture, especially the demigod of the wind and sea Maui. He's quite something. He's supposedly a villain, but at the same time he seems to just be misunderstood, just like me. 

   I know legends are exactly what they're called, legends, but I can't help but feel as though that this gem is a replica of something very important. I need to go find Gramma Tala. She's the only one who can help me crack this code. Wish me luck!
