DAYLIGHT STRUCK ONCE AGAIN but now most of them sat in a circle " I wish I'd been there! " Kiri said in excitement, Kamari just rolled her eyes until she made eye contact with Aonung " The ocean blessed you with a gift, brother" Kamari rubbed her temples in frustration, she kinda blurred the conversation, Aonung noticed and grinned. She slowly closed her eyes and wished she fell asleep or was planning to.

" You guys aren't listening. " Lo'ak said standing up and leaving. Kamari opened one eye " what did he say?" she mumbled, Aonung shook his head trying to hide his laughter " C'mon guys... " Neteyam said and left too except for Aonung and Kamari. Kamari was laying down trying to doze off " Hey... Kamari..." Aonung mumbled kneeling and staring at her " Ugh, shouldn't you join them?" " Aren't you?" he asked earning a fair chuckle from her " Fair enough." She sat up looking at him " What do you want?" Her words came out cold hurting Aonung's precious heart.

" About what I did, I'm sorry." Aonung held his head low truly ashamed of what he did " Whatever, just act as if nothing has happened." She said and laying back down " Come. Lay beside me. " she said patting a spot next to her, Aonung lay next to her staring at the sky "I am truly sorry." she deeply sighed "I said it's fine..." Aonung felt that sorry wasn't enough" Look, Let's just forget what happened and just move on" Kamari said turning to him " Your right." Aonung chuckled at her, Kamari smiled before turning to look at the sky and doze off to sleep. Aonung watched and admired her features.

" Kamari, Something happened to Kiri! " Tuk yelled, Kamari opened her eyes "what! " Aonung stood up following Tuk and Kamari, running towards where Kiri was. Kamari watched as Ronal healed Kiri. Kiri woke up crying from the shock.

Kamari walked inside while Aonung... Well, he waited outside " Kiri... " she kneeled holding Kiri's hand tightly " Kama..." she smiled at her " You all right?" Kamari asked staring at Kiri " never been better. " she kept a smile on her face while staring back at her.

The day had darkened and the Metkayina people were celebrating the Sully family. It was unique. Kamari watched and clapped her hands as they danced and Tuk was dancing along. Their culture was beautiful and interesting. Kamari turned to Aonung who sat in the opposite direction of her. Kamari smiled at him, he smiled back. He gave a sign that they should go to the shore. Kamari turned to Kiri " I'll be back. " " Uh... Where are you going? " she asked and frowned slightly.

Kamari stood up and so did Aonung, both walked over to the shore where they promised to meet " You look wonderful " Aonung said pointing at the flower crown on her head " Thanks... I have one for you." she said chuckling taking out a flower crown that Tuk made for her. Kamari walked closer and gently placed it on his head. Aonung stared at her eyes that shined due to the moonlight " Kamari..." he mumbled softly " Hm? " she mumbled " as in moon..." she frowned slightly " Your name means moon, right? " he asked, and she nodded.

"You pretty as the moon... Shines so bright in the nighttime " " Not in daylight? " she teased, both not noticing how close they were to each other. Aonung's hands found their place on her hips " No... Cause not everyone has to see your beauty but me. " he mumbled, Kamari gulped staring at him " Kamari! " both turned their heads, Aonung quickly removed his hands from her hips and took a few steps back " Tuk." " What are you doing... No, Ew!!!" she groaned running away " Tuk! It's not... I'm sorry. " she said and ran after Tuk. Aonung watched as she ran after her sister. He sighed and grabbed the flower crown off his head and stared at it.

A small smile appeared on his face.
