featuring the song Island In The Sun, (by the band Weezer) from the movie Aquamarine. By the end of this song, some of it was stuck in my head. It's catchy.
Luna's POV:
I couldn't sleep tonight, not after all that happened yesterday, the storm, the touch of the hands. And today he got suspicious about the necklace, and lunch and dinner was uncomfortable. I mean come on, I sit next to the guy. "Luna, how long are you going to stare out the little window?" "I don't know, Pete. I do not know." "Well you better . . *Yawn* . . look down."
Another one is turning ocean blue. Oh shrimp.🧜🏻♀️the next day up on deck🧜🏻♀️
"Hey cap, you notice something. I can hardly feel the wind," Alfred said. "The boy's right, I can't feel that salty sea air," Freddie said. They're both right, and he knows it too because he's fanning his face with his hat, and when he has it on his head, the feather doesn't move. I'm moving a few boxes down and can't feel that wind in my face. And I need it, because moving up and down can get you sweaty.
From noon to nightfall there was hardly any talk, it was so boring and quiet, that most of the crew fell asleep. The same goes for the next day, hardly any wind and talk, even during the three meals. "We won't get to our destination without wind. At this point, those three are either catching up to us, or are ahead of us," Arthur said. "Dude calm down—"
"I will not calm down. When I have The Heart of the Ocean in my palms, people will fear me even more, no pirate will dare come near me. And stop calling me dude you wanker." "I will, when you stop calling me wanker."
As if having no wind was torture enough, now we have to hear arguing.🧜🏻♀️a few hours later🧜🏻♀️
"Everyone, the hero has found a solution to this problem." "Oh really. And what might that be Jones?" Jonathan asked. ". . . Music."
Everyone on deck—including the ones taking boxes up and down—looked at him like, 'wth.' "Come on, we've been through this before. Besides, it's more fun at a time like this then on someones birthday."
"Did he just say that?" I asked. "It's better on birthdays, I mean we don't have to work so much on those days," a crew member said. "Could this day get anymore boring or worse?" "Psssss, ay mate, don't jinx us."
"I'm down for it mate!" Yelled Jett from the crows nest. "Me too, I'm done sleeping anyway," Toby said. And then other crew members were mumbling 'ya, sure, whatever.'🧜🏻♀️time skip🧜🏻♀️
There was finally more talking, they were drinking out of entertainment, not boredom. Some of these songs are like the ones we sing underwater, except the lyrics are different.
"Alright dudes—and dudett—let's end this with a love song and head to dinner cause I'm starving." "You're always starving, Alfred," Peter said.
"Let's see . . . Hmmm . . . No, no, no . . . Got it. Island In The Sun." There were so many different looks on so many different faces, but then one of the crew members with a guitar started playing some notes. I'm surprised pirates play instruments, or had instruments onboard the ship. "Now we're talking, start strumming that guitar dude, and Freddie, give me a beat."(A—Alfred, CM—crew members, & for just one time, Ar—Arthur, D—Dylan, S&L—Seamus and Liam & Al—Allistor. Basically him and his brothers😆 this would be amazing to see.) you'll see this—GP, which means guitar player playing the guitar—before and after some lyrics. Play the song and you'll see what I mean.

D: Just a place to call your own
Ar: As we drift into the zoneOh my god, did he just—
"Come on, Luna, dance with me." Did he just sing? and now ask me to dance? "No no, I-I can't dance." This sounds harder then walking. "Yes you can, trust me. Just like I told you in training, move like the waves."CM: On an island in the sun
A: We'll be playing and having fun
And it makes me feel so fine
I can't control my brain.A: We'll run away together
We'll spend some time forever
CM: We'll never feel bad anymoreOkay, I'm moving like the waves . . . We're both moving like the waves. One of his hands is on my waist, the other locked with mine, and my free hand is on his shoulder . . . This's easy.
CM: Hip hip (GP)

Hip hip (GP)"Wow, this is, pretty fun." "You sound like you've never danced before." "I have." just with a tail, not with legs. Everyone started cheering on that guitar player. "He's pretty good at that." "Yes, he's a good fighter and guitar player. I told him, 'We could use you on the ship. You're a good fighter, and now we won't be so board and getting drunk faster.'"
