It's been three years since Maui had hugged Moana and watched her sail off home.
He had wanted with all his being to go with her but he feared that he would never be able to fit in.
How could he fit in with Moana's village when he was a Demigod? And after all the trouble he had caused three years ago after stealing the heart he was sure humans hated him.
His own mother had rejected and thrown him away so why would a village no his own want him around?
Why did he want to be there anyway? He wondered briefly.
"Shut up, tiny I didn't ask you." He snapped annoyed with the mini me who had drawn a picture of Moana's face on his mini chalkboard.
But he couldn't deny that Moana was indeed the reason why he wanted to be on her Island.
He sighed and put thoughts of her beautiful face from his mind.
"She's not for you stupid, by now she's probably married with a kid or something she is not for a Demigod no matter how much you care for her." he mumbled quietly.
He wiped his brow, it was hotter than Te Ka's mountain out here, a quick trip down to the stream might be in order.
Ge stumbled over rock and uneven ground the heat seemingly weighing him down, normally it took more weight to wear him down but this heat was unrelenting.
Down by the stream he sank to his knees and drank gallons of the sweet, fresh water but he was still extremely tired so he rose and climbed down more rough rocks to the beach.
He waded into the ocean waters and swam letting the water of the ocean cool his heated body.
As he swam he noticed a dark blur not far up ahead.
Peering blearily trying to see better he slowly began to make out the outline of a boat.
A Canoe.
Strengthening he looked at it more curiously he found his mind asking "who the blazes would be out here in this heat?"
But then he spotted the symbol on the sail and gasped wondering if he was dreaming or if it was just some hallucination brought on by the heat of the day.
The sail bore the symbol that he had last seen on the boat that was given to none other than Moana by Te Fiti.
But his mind was not exactly sure it was ready to believe it really was Moana.
He had spent most past three years wishing she'd return and would wake everyday still alone.
Maui seeing the boat getting closer quickly moves out of the water trying to avoid being hit by the boat.
The boat makes it's stop and a beautiful woman descended the boat and Maui sucked in his breath.
He bolted forward and pulls her in for a hug.
"Moana! You came back!" he breathed.
She is by this time laughing over his reaction.
"Of course Maui, I uh kinda missed traveling with you, my dad gave me permission to come out here and find you, I want you to come home with me and live with us." she told him in one breath as he hugged her tight.
Her words brought on fear.
"But, but Moana I wouldn't fit in, I'm a Demigod I don't belong on a human island they wouldn't like me." he whispers showing his vulnerability.
"Maui, don't be ridiculous They're going to love you." she laughed.
He sighed "if you really want me to come back with you I will."
"I do want you too, we are friends now." she ashored.
"Okay you win I'll go with you."
