Maui put a hand up to the night sky, positioning the stars in the curve of his hand and between his fingers to create a guide. Reading it like a map, he measured the distance between the stars and the horizon. He put his other hand in the ocean to feel the direction of the current. Moana watched, fascinated, as he figured out which way to go.

“We go east, to the lair of Tamatoa,” said Maui. “If anyone has my hook, it’s that beady-eyed bottom-feeder.”

With one mighty pull, Maui filled the sail with air and the boat jerked, forcing Moana to hang on tightly. Maui swung the sail around and then quickly tied a knot.

Intrigued, Moana watched his every move, eager to learn. “Teach me to sail,” she said, inches away from his face.

“Wayfind, princess. What I do is called wayfinding, and it’s not just sails and knots; it’s seeing where you’re going in your mind…knowing where you are by knowing where you’ve been….”

“Okay, first, not a princess. I am the daughter of the chief—”

“Same difference.”

“No—”

“If girls want to wear your dress, you’re a princess—you are not a wayfinder. You will never be a wayfinder. You will never be a wayfinder,” Maui said as if he were stating three separate facts.

Maui picked up Moana and placed her in the cargo hold with Heihei. Then the ocean spit out one of the Kakamora’s poisonous darts and sank it right into Maui’s butt.

“Really?” Maui said to the ocean. “Blow dart in my butt cheek?”

Maui crumpled to the deck in a heap. Everything but his head was paralyzed. Moana smiled.

“You are a bad person,” said Maui, with his face smooshed against the floor of the boat.

“If you can talk, you can teach,” said Moana. “Wayfinding, lesson one…Hit it.”

Maui grunted in protest.

“Untie the halyard,” said Maui. Moana chose a rope and began to untie it. “Not the halyard,” said Maui bluntly. She tried another rope, and Maui said, “Nope.” Each rope she tried was the wrong one.

Moments later, Moana stretched her arm up and raised her hand to the sky as she tried to read the stars. She moved her hand back and forth, trying to get it right. “You’re measuring stars, not giving the sky a high five,” Maui said with disgust.

Moana put her hand in the water. “If the current’s warm, you’re going the right way,” said Maui.

“It’s cold….Wait, it’s getting warmer!”

Maui cackled.

“Ew, disgusting! What is wrong with you?” said Moana, whipping her hand out of the water.

Moana continued into the night, trying her best to follow Maui’s instructions.

The next morning, Moana saw that they were approaching a beautiful green island. “We’re here? Maui? See? Told you I could do it!” she said excitedly.

Maui snored. He was fast asleep. Moana looked at the island and realized it was Motunui. “Motunui…but…I’m home?” she said, confused.

Then, right before her eyes, the lush island turned black, and everything started to shrivel and die. She could see Tui and Sina standing on the island as it deteriorated.
