Moana's POV

Time Skip... A Week Later...

  I'm just arriving to the first day of practice right now. I'm an array of emotions right now. Happy, excited, scared, nervous, and determined are just a few of them. I stand with the nineteen other girls chosen for the team in a line on the field getting another exam from Maui. I don't know why he's so keen on exams, I guess he just wants to be through. Though some might assume he's a bit pervy for doing so. I laugh to myself. Maybe this is the most action he gets these days. Maui's coming down my way. Crap. He probably saw me laughing and is going to call me out. "Moana, care to share with the rest of us what you're laughing about?" I freeze in my tracks and quickly come up with a cover up. I shrug my shoulders and smirk to appear more confident. "Sure. I was thinking about how last night I was visiting my brother for a bit and caught him singing Halo by Beyonce in only a thong." That causes more of the girls to laugh and applaud for me. I bow gracefully.

   Maui raises an eyebrow at me but remains stern. "Well that's certainly not was I expecting, but it's not exactly what I'd care to hear. We're here to work Moana. Stop with the silliness." I take a step towards him. "You know you love it. I saw you failing at not cracking a smile. You find my humor humorous. He rolls his eyes and grumbles something under his breath. He then shifts his attention back to the whole team rather than to just me. Part of me is saddened by that. I love the little moments Maui and I have sparring with one another verbally. Oh well, maybe another day I'll get to do it again. As he barks out orders, the rest of the team and I follow them. As I follow his orders, I can feel him eyeing me. When I glance at him from time to time, I see that he is indeed staring at me. 

 The heat instantly rushes to my cheeks. This is inappropriate. Not only is Maui my coach, but he's a lot older than me from the looks of him. He's got to be at least thirty for sure. Of course I'm not going to just waltz right up and ask him. That'd be weird. 

Four hours later...

Practice comes to an end and I'm about to leave when a strong arm blocks my path. I pretend to be annoyed but honestly I'm thrilled to be staying behind for a few. The other girls smile and wave to me as they leave and I return their nice gesture before looking up at Maui. "What's going on coach?" He leans forward, his lips just a couple feet from mine. "I see the way you look at me and just know, I look at you the same way." A gasp escapes from my mouth and his laugh radiates through the air. "I'll be keeping my eye on you Moana. You intrigue me." I simply smile and blush before turning to leave. From behind me, I hear Maui say "See you tomorrow." I give him a thumbs up and officially leave the field. Well gee, that was certainly something. 

Hoped that you guys liked this part of this one shot! This will be my only update as of today. Please bear with me. The doctor's say it could take me weeks to get back into the swing of things completely. -Mary
