DANNY AND STEVE

"You have to help me Steve." Danny says as they drop off Grace at her friend's house.

The detective need help with his lunch date and so he grabbed the only person he could think of.

"You really like her don't you." Steve says

"Well ya I think I do, and Grace does too. She couldn't stop talking about her on the way home last night and this morning." Danny says.

"Ok I'll help you I know the perfect thing too." Steve says

SHOPPING

The girls walk around most the morning window-shopping and getting things for people back home. Stopping to eat some shaved ice from a big man that turns out to be a friend of Kono's.

They soon return to the hotel and Maria rushed to her room to get ready.

She changes into a black skirt and changes into a red tank top on it matches the skirt. Putting her hair in small waves and adding a clip that Kiana had given her for mothers day the year before.

While slipping on her sandals there is knock at her door. Butterflies suddenly emerge in her stomach and she goes to answer the door, purse in hand. The door opens Danny smiles and just stares at Maria for a minute before holding his arm out for her to take. Maria closes the door and the two set off down the hallway. Before they make it to the elevators they can hear giggling coming from behind them. Maria turns and glares at the giggling girls and they hear a door slam shut. She turns around blushing and the two get into the elevator and head down to the lobby.

"So what are we having for lunch?" Maria asks

"Well it's a nice day still I thought we could walk down to this nice pizza place and you can see how the Hawaiians make pizza." Danny says

'Oh I don't like pineapples on my pizza." Maria says

"Really, I was hoping you'd say that, so instead I have a better Idea. Danny reaches into the trunk of his car and pulls out a picnic basket.

"How about a trip to a small park with a great view of the ocean."

Maria nods and smiles.

They get into the car and Danny drives inland for a while, and then makes a turn towards the sea. Maria looks out the window and worries that they may run out of road soon until Danny pulls the car to a stop. Danny gets out of the car and rushes to the other side and opens up Maria's door. Maria gets out of the car and looks around. She can see a blanket already laid on the ground under a tree, with a perfect view of the ocean.

"How'd you find this place?" Maria asks

"Steve told me about it said he found it when he was younger." Danny says

""Well I'm just gonna have to say thank you next time I see him." Maria says smiling

Danny grabs the basket and they walk to the blanket. Maria slips off her sandals and sits next to Danny who is already pulling out food.

They eat and talk about little things. Danny tells Maria about his life in New Jersey and how he misses it sometimes.

Maria tells him about Kiana and how raising her and going to school was hard, but she wouldn't trade for anything in the world.

"I would like to meet her one day" Danny says

Maria smiles "I am having my brother make a skype call this afternoon if you would like to see her."
