Moominvalley (Snufkin x OC)

The Moomins Discover The Island

It was a lovely day and Moomintroll, his family, and friends decided to go on a trip in the boat they found washed up on the beach. They didn't know where they were going and thought it would be much more fun that way.

Lulamoon was currently running all over her house in a panic. This was her first boat trip and she had no idea what she should bring. Knowing Moominmama, she's going to bring a lot food for them. So Lulamoon is just focusing what she herself might need.

"Maybe a change of clothes just in case? A hair brush definitely. Should I bring my spell book?" She glanced over at a pedastal next to her cauldron where a black, leather journal sat. "I'll bring it just in case."

After getting everything she thinks she might need, she locked down her house/shop with protection spells and ran off towards the dock where the boat was parked.

Everyone else was already there and loading up the boat by the time she got there. "Lulu! You made it just in time!" Moomintroll exclaimed to panting witch.

"Sorry I'm a little late!" She said as she tried to catch her breath. "I had no idea on what you're suppose to bring on a trip like this."

"All aboard!" Moominpapa called to everyone and started naming them off. "Mama, Little My, Snufkin, Moomin, Snorkmaiden, Lulamoon, and Mr. Hemulen of course."

Everyone boarded the boat and chose spots to sit. When Hemulen moved to get on, he slipped and fell forward onto Moominpapa. Causing the boat to rock violently.

Lulamoon stumbled and immediately grabbed onto the mast in the middle. "I am so going to fall in the water." She huffed.

"No you wont. Here, grab onto me." Snufkin stepped up to her and they grabbed each other's arms. Moominmama held an arm out in case the witch fell over as Snufkin guided her over to where his bag was and sat her down next to it. "There." He said and sat down next to her. "Now just stay seated and you won't have to worry about falling overboard."

"Don't worry dear," Moominmama spoke up. "Even if you do fall in, we'll get you out immediately. Moomins are very good swimmers afterall."

Lulamoon smiled and made herself comfortable. "Thank you very much Snufkin, Mama. You're all so kind!"

"Come on Sniff!" Moomintroll called out and they all turned to their friend who stayed on the dock.

Sniff blinked and looked unsure. "There's no room."

"Don't be silly, Sniff. Of course there is!"

"It looks very full. Almost sinking."

"There's no way this boat could sink." Moomintroll stated but then looked over the edge and saw that the boat had indeed sucken a bit.

Sniff gave them a nervous smile and backed up a bit. "I-I'll come next time."

Little My huffed. "Let's go Moominpapa. He's just a scaredy-cat."

Moominpapa walked over to grab an oar. "We'll go without you then, Sniff."

"I think that's for the best. Besides, someone's gotta stay and look after Moomin House and it might as well be me!" Sniffed waved goodbye as Moominpapa pushed the boat away from the dock and they were off.

Lulamoon sighed and leaned against the edge of the boat, watching water as they sail. "I feel bad about leaving Sniff behind." She finally muttered.

"He's just a big softy!" Little My said.

"Well he's not very good at swimming and he does eat a lot." Snorkmaiden added.
