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

Chapter 21: Break Time

A/N: Yes, beginning may be a little disturbing, but it will be just like other chapters. No cruel descriptions, I promise. 

"Oh Maui..." Some of the teardrops were running down from her eyes.

"Yes, yes... I completely understand kid..." Maui said, embracing her sideways. Moana sniffed. "Just let it all out..."

"Oh... o- oof! Blech!" Moana threw up into the empty coconut shell. She still had the image of the giant eel being sliced in half in her mind.

"There you go... let it all out..." Maui said as he patted her on the back to help her.

"BLEEEEECH!" Moana vomited even more violently in the coconut shell.

"There you go, there you go," Maui said as he continued to pat on her back. "Let it all out."

"Oh my..." Moana said as she finished vomiting and breathed deeply. "Ah... that feels much better."

"Better out than in. Thank goodness we kept the empty coconut shells, or the ocean has to suffer," Maui said. He didn't mean and want to look into the coconut shell, but it got into his sight. "Uggh! I can't believe THAT used to be grilled fish and grains we ate before we went to Reigna!"

Moana blushed in embarrassment. "Maui! Stop looking at my vomit!"

"Let's just throw this away in the next island," Maui said. "Don't forget to rinse your mouth, kid. I have some fresh water stored in, and spit it out on the same coconut shell you used for your own vomit."

"All right," Moana said. Moana gurgled the fresh water and gently spit the water in the same coconut shell. She didn't want to look at it so she closed her eyes as she did so. 

"Why don't you rest for a bit?" Maui said. "You seem very unhealthy."

"I'm fine," Moana said. "I feel a lot better now."

"That's good to hear, but I think you still need a break," Maui said.

"I mean I guess," Moana replied. She looked through the charms once more. "I think we're almost half way there on capturing every forbidden monsters we need to capture," Moana said as she counted the red charms and the green charms.

"And there are so much places for us to discover," Maui said as he looked at the map. "The nearest island doesn't look pretty."

"Well, we must finish what we must finish," Moana said as she stretched.

"Can't we take a break, kid?" Maui asked. "Overworking is not a good thing either."

"Well," Moana said. She felt a little weak on the stomach, and looked at Pua and Heihei's conditions. "I think we do need a little break after all that. I don't think we even got a break. I mean, besides that one time in Waomoku. We should take a break for a day."

"Now, that's my chief talking!" Maui said excitedly. "Let's park on the closest island from here!"

Is it just me, or is he making me as an excuse so that he can also take a break? Moana thought. Oh well, I think it's fine.

Maui docked on the nearest island. Moana quickly buried the coconut shell deep in the beach. After burying the coconut shell, she sighed with relief as she looked up. There were a lot of coconut trees, the air felt fresh and cool that Moana's stomach felt refreshing just by inhaling deeply. Wet sand felt soft on her feet. "I like it here," Moana said. "It feels like I'm at Motunui!"

"I'm glad you think so, chief," Maui said.

"What's the name of this island?" Moana asked.

"Hmm..." Maui said as he looked at the map. "Pararaiha. Hey, I know this island. There's festival here everyday. Inside the forest, there are villagers who throw a party everyday. People here eat a lot of special food, perform a lot of play and dances, and have a lot of fun together. It's a pretty fun island."
