Official Disclaimer

The characters of Steve McGarrett, Danny Williams, Chin Ho Kelly, Kono Kalakaua, Mary McGarrett and Max Bergman do not belong to me in any shape or form. I am merely using them for my own entertainment purposes.

The characters of Danielle 'Danni' Richardson and Caitlin 'Cait' Richardson so please do not use without first asking permission.

Any other character who might pop up who you don't instantly recognise will probably belong to me as well. I'll hopefully catch them in time to put above though.

Author Note

Welcome to Aloha Ma Mau Maka which according to the English translation is Love at First Sight.

This story will be a collection of snippets based during the three months between the end of Love at First Sight and the beginning of Aloha. There is no particular order to them and the snippets will switch between the characters. I'm not sure how many there will be but I hope you enjoy it.

As with the other stories in this saga, the quote at the beginning are just love quotes. This stories quote will feature long distant relationship quotes but they won't reflect what is happening in the chapter.

Please be aware that 'Love at first sight' which was initially entitled the model saga has undergone an epic rewrite. I think it has something like 15,000-20,000 more words so if you have the time and are interested then I would suggest rereading it. I'm really happy with it so hopefully you all will as well.

Anyway please enjoy

The Model Saga


Snippet One


Distance never separates two hearts that really care, for our memories span the mils and in seconds we are there. But whenever I start feeling sad, because I miss you, I remind myself how lucky I am to have someone so special to miss.


"Okay, okay, I like to think that I've been pretty patient about this, giving you time to come to me and everything but you haven't which means that you have forced my hand so spill it McGarrett, what the hell are you working on because you've been in here day after day working on something and we both know that it's not job related because I'm the poor sucker who has to do your reports so come on, tell me. I want to know… no, no… I deserve to know."

Steve McGarrett glanced up from the pad of paper which he was looking at and focused his attention on his partner Danny Williams. The other man was standing in the doorway, arms crossed over his chest with a look on his face which made it extremely clear that it wasn't going to leave the room until he and Steve had hashed out whatever it was that Danny felt they needed to hash out.

"What Danny?" He asked with a frown, giving into the desire to roll his eyes when Danny huffed out loud, uncrossing his arms so he could throw them dramatically into the air.

"What he says, as though he hasn't been listening to anything I said." Danny responded, moving into the room. Steve watched as the other man paused only to close the door behind him, blocking the conversation from their curious teammate before he moved up to the desk, dropping into the chair in front of Steve's desk and glaring at him.

"Is there something I can help you with Danny?" He asked, raising an eyebrow when Danny made the same huffing sound that he had made earlier. The same noise which never ceased to amuse Steve when he heard it.

"You're lucky I'm a calm guy or I would have throttled you by now" Danny announced, the comment causing Steve to choke on the air for a moment at the fact that Danny had referred to himself as calm when it was a well-known fact that the Jersey native was a hot head.

"That is good to know" Steve managed to say after a moment, meeting Danny's eyes and noting the way they narrowed at him.

"What I want from you McGarrett is an explanation on what the hell you're doing in here day after day. What is in that notepad because you've been attached to it like it owes you money or something? Do you sleep with it as well because you won't be parted with it during the day" Danny said, jabbing his finger towards the notebook in question.

Steve automatically glanced down at it, his eyes skimming his familiar handwriting before he shrugged.

"It's nothing important Danno" Steve told him, sighing when Danny's eyes narrowed further.

"Which in McGarrett language means that it is" He countered as he leaned back in his chair, interlocking his fingers as he watched Steve closely. "Is this something to do with work?" He queried.

"Nothing like that" Steve said with a shake of his head.

"I thought not" Danny remarked, tilting his head to one side. "Well if it's not to do with work then the only thing it can be about is Danielle." Steve kept his face blank, ignoring the stab of longing he felt at the mere mention of his girlfriend Danielle Richardson who was currently in London doing several back to back modelling jobs. "Ah I hit a nerve I see" Danny remarked, looking momentarily sorry before he continued. "How long has it been since Danielle was here?"

"Five week and three days" Steve responded without hesitation. "But she has a job and a reputation to consider so she's where she needs to be right now."

"Sucks on you though being left behind. Have you spoken to her?" Danny asked, all his previous aggression gone from his voice.

"I spoke to her this morning. She's going to call at lunch time as well and then we'll speak in the evening no doubt." Steve responded.

"Well that's something at least and if five weeks have gone already then that's five weeks closer to her being here with you full time right?" Danny asked, his mouth curling into a half smile when Steve nodded at him. "So what are you working on in the notebook then?" He queried.

For a moment Steve considered telling Danny to mind his own business and to get some work done but experience had taught him that doing something like that would be a sure fire way of setting off Danny's tenaciousness and that was the last thing Steve wanted, not when he had so much which he needed to do before Danielle came back to him.

"Fine you want to know?" He demanded, waiting until Danny nodded at him before he spoke. "I'm looking up prices for flower ornaments which goes on tables"

A silence followed his words as Danny merely stared at him with a look that was torn between disbelief and confusion.

"Flower ornaments?" Danny repeated eventually, frowning when Steve merely nodded at him. "Flower ornaments for your kitchen table?"

"No, why would I want a flower ornament for the house?" Steve asked with a shake of his head. "No, I'm looking them up for the tables at the wedding. Danni's going to want some traditional things and I know she likes flowers so if we have a sit down meal of some kind then we should have them."

"Wait, wait, wait" Danny interrupted, holding his hand up. "Wedding? What wedding? Are you engaged because if you're engaged and you haven't bothered to tell me then I swear to god Steve that…"

"Danni and I aren't engaged" Steve told him, rolling his eyes when Danny sagged back in his chair.

"Okay, well that's good because when you do get engaged then I kind of want to know as soon as possible." Danny remarked. "But if you aren't engaged then why are you…"

"Because we are going to get married" Steve told him with a shrug. "And I like being prepared so I want everything sorted and ready to go when Danni says yes because I don't want any more delays."

"When Danni says yes? How do you know that she would even say yes?" Danny demanded, sighing when Steve shot him a look. "Okay I admit it that was a stupid question, of course she's going to say yes to you. She's gaga over you. What else have you been looking into or is it just flower arrangements"

"All the stuff, cakes, suits, how much I need to put aside for Danni's wedding dress and the bridesmaids dresses which is a lot more than I thought because those things are damn expensive. I've looked into churches in case Danni wants to marry in one and then I've also looked into how much it would cost if we married here. There's the catering to think about, I need a suit and…"

"Okay enough, enough. I breaking out into a sweat just thinking about this. Does Danielle know that you're doing this?" Danny asked, leaning forward in his chair and fixing Steve with a thoughtful look.

"She know we're getting married" Steve told him.

"That's good but that's not what I'm asking, does Danielle know that you're doing all of this?" He stated, waving his hand towards the notebook. Steve glanced down at it before it looked back up.

"Not exactly" Steve admitted.

"Okay, now what does the lovely Danielle think you're actually doing?" Danny pressed.

Steve remained silent for a moment before he sighed.

"Choosing a best man" He muttered before he shrugged. "But it's not like I needed to think about that because you're going to be my best man, which reminds me we need to get you measured at the suit place I picked. They do real good quality suits and the guy is a cousin of Chin's so as long as Chin is there then he'll hook us up with some discount."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa slow down there" Danny said. "Firstly Steve you have to use your words and ask people, like it would be nice for you to ask me first whether I'll be your best man before you start trying to dress me up like you're taking me to the prom." Danny said. "Secondly if you are going to be using Chin for his connections then you should give him a role in the wedding."

"I was going to ask him to be an Usher, I've told you Danno I've been researching this. I know exactly what I need to do. I'll need to find our whether Danni has any young nieces or nephews to be flower girls and page boys. I mean Grace will be a flower girl obviously but Danni will probably want her family involved"

"Or maybe Danielle would like to be involved in the planning of her own wedding?" Danny piped up, rolling his eyes when Steve ignored him.

"I need to find out whether they have any allergies as well." Steve mused.

"Yo Groomzilla, slow it down. First things you need to do is propose to the love of your life, then once she has actually said yes, which if she does when you're like this will be a miracle, then you can start looking into allergies and nieces and nephews and seating plans."

"Seating plans, I haven't done that yet. I'm going to need to draw up a list of who I want there and who Danni wants. My side won't be too big but Danni comes from a big family so she'll need space" Steve said, reaching up and pulling at the bottom of his lip with a frown.

"It's like talking to a brick wall only a brick wall would be more responsive." Danny muttered to himself as he came to his feet and headed towards the door, suddenly feeling the urge for some painkillers to stave off the headache he could feel coming.

"Danno" Steve called after him, waiting until Danny turned round and shot him a questioning look. "Will you be my best man at my wedding?" He asked.

For a moment Danny remained silent before he slowly smiled.

"Yeah Steve I will, see that wasn't so hard was it." He said with a shake of his head before he turned and left the room.

Steve grinned after him before he turned his attention back to his notebook and flipped the pages over until he had a fresh one.

Now… who did he want to invite.
