Moana - Warrior's Journey (AU after the first film)

Chapter 11: Small Strange Tribe

"Have you ever heard of Uhanai?" Moana asked as she continued to look at the map, deciding where to go after capturing all the creatures at Uhanai.

"Not that I know of," Maui said. "I mean, it sounds somewhat familiar."

"But you're the one who pulled them from the ocean," Moana said.

"Doesn't mean I named them all," Maui said.

"Well, I have to admit that," Moana said. Then she looked back at the map again. "You know, we're supposed to capture five creatures in Uhanai. How are we going to find them all? We probably need to spend the night in this island."

"Well, we can do that, can't we?" Maui asked.

"How are we supposed to find the shelter to sleep in?" She asked, concerned as she looked at the sunset. "It's probably gonna be cold on the island when it gets dark."

"We can always build our own," Maui replied.

"Well then," Moana said. "I guess you can do that."

"I know... wait," Maui said, "why do you think I'm the only one building it?"

"Because I don't know how," Moana replied.

"I can teach you," Maui offered.

"Oh, no thank you," Moana rejected.

"Come on, I insist," Maui said.

"Thanks for the offer," Moana said. "But I'm fine with what I know so far. Good luck with building the shelter." Maui made a defeated face. Mini Maui pulled out the checkerboard and gave Moana a score. Maui groaned. He never received any point. "Well what do you know? We're here!"

Maui looked at the silhouette of the island. "It doesn't look like creatures have taken over that island."

"Well, we never know," Moana said.

As soon as they arrived, they docked their boat, and Moana took Pua and Heihei. "Let's look around to find any trace of humans before it really gets dark. We need to ask for shelter to sleep in for tonight."

"I thought you were gonna make me build a shelter," Maui said.

"I wouldn't make you do that," Moana said as she walked outside the beach. Maui smirked as he followed Moana.

Moana and Maui looked around as they went through the forest. "There's gotta be a cottage around here somewhere," Moana said as she looked around. Then she looked up the sky. "Oh... it's night... we need to find shelter somewhere."

"Why don't I build a shelter?" Maui said. "You don't have to help me."

"Wait! I see the light over there!" Moana said as she pointed at a red light that was dancing in one space.

"Could it be?" Maui said.

"Let's go!" Moana suggested.

"All right, but we need to be careful," Maui said. They walked towards the direction where they saw the fire dance.

Moana and Maui saw few people, walking around where the fire was. "Excuse us," Moana called. The people turned to Moana. "I'm really sorry to interrupt, but we'd like to find a place to rest today."

They all warmly smiled and welcomed them. "Well, do come into the cottage," the first woman said.

"Well, thank you," Maui said.

"You must be hungry," the second woman said.

"We have fish, grains, fruits, and coconuts to serve," the third woman offered.
