the tide.

“Uh huh, riiiight. I’m calling bullshit if you think I’m sweet.”

“what’s the proof against you not being sweet?”

“Wow! Can I hold it?” Red asked as she reached her hands out. “I wish I could find shells like that.” 

“of course!” moana said, handing it over into the girl's hands. “it’s a murex shell! one of my favourites.” 

Skye laughed, more at the fact that the girl had called her precious than at the joke she had made. Then she made a face once she processed the joke. “I don’t get it. Doesn’t everyone know that?”

moana winked at the girl as she smiled back. “well yes, but i wanted to give you a fact so you weren’t disappointed for not getting a good fact.” 

“How would you know if I’m sweet or not?” He asked skeptically. “You just met me.”

“i’m a good reader of character.”

Red stood on her tippy toes looking over the person’s shoulder. “Hey, what do you got there? I want to see.” She said trying to look and see. 

“it’s a shell! i found it on the beach last night!”

“Take a picture, weirdo. It’ll last longer.”

“i’m sorry! you’re just really pretty like wow! what’s your skincare routine?” 

Stitch was visibly confused by her statement and took a few moments before being able to come up with a response. “Correct me if I’m wrong, but aren’t facts supposed to be true?”

“this is a true fact!” moana exclaimed, giving the boy a tap on his bicep.

“What?!” Judy rolled over to the other side of the bed, excited. “Oh…it’s okay. I have a fun fact!”

“what’s the fact, judes!” she said to her roommate, emphasizing the nickname she gave judy. 

What was that? He questioned to himself, mind working around the compliment. They weren’t common in his lonely life. “Ah…— really?”

“of course!” she smiled, winking at him.

“Come on, don’t leave me hanging.”

“fun fact! i like your glasses.”

“Ooh! I have one!” Lilo waved her hand around, perhaps too enthusiastically. “Did you know that sharks are the only fish that have eyelids?”

“another ocean lover!? that’s so interesting! i never knew that about sharks.”

“ it might not be a new to your knowledge… but, fun fact: i find you very exquisite. ”

“exquisite? i find you very handsome and exquisite.”

“Man, you got my hopes up and everything.”

“fun fact! you’re too precious to be disappointed so did you know that water is wet.” she joked, letting a large smile paint across her face. 

“Sail? Like a boat?” Her eyes grew wide, “How’d you do that?”

“yep! you wouldn’t believe a number of phones i’ve ruined because i was using youtube videos to learn to sail!” she exclaimed, talking with her hands a lot.
