I own nothing of Hawaii 5-0.
This idea came to me and wouldn't leave. Let me know what you think. For hose who have been following my Star Crossed Misunderstandings story, you'll be happy to hear that Vicki is here as well. :D
They said it was a gift, being a shifter, passed from parents to their children. A wonderful gift that allowed a select few people to see a side of the world that most could only dream of. They had enhanced senses and brilliant minds that made it easy for them to excel in whatever career they chose. Of course, that was as long as that career was either in the armed services or chosen by the armed services.
A little known fact to people who did not possess the gift to shift was that those that could were immediately documented after their birth and upon their 15th birthday they began training. They were strongly encouraged to serve and if they did not then another career that could use their skills was suggested. To the outside world shifters were given many liberties and freedoms that normal Homo sapiens were not granted, but it came at a price.
The three eldest Williams children stared as more movers entered their house and packed up their stuff. Wave after wave of people were coming in and out carrying labeled boxes and suitcases and all their prized belongings. This had all started four weeks ago when the Williams parents, both enlisted shifters, were reassigned from Newark, New Jersey to Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. Their new jobs were to train newly enlisted shifters.
"This blows," yelled Danny, the eldest Williams child and twin brother to Vicki.
"Ranting about it isn't going to change anything Dan. Besides we're moving to Hawaii. Plenty of sun, gorgeous people, places to run, places to hunt," said Vicki patiently even as she glared at the movers.
Danny looked over at his sister and watched as her hands flexed. He knew she was trying to keep her own anger in check even as she tried to placate him. Matt looked at his older siblings and then back at their house.
"What about school," asked Matt.
"We start at Kukui High School in a week," said Vicki.
"Stupid pineapple infested hell hole," said Danny.
"Dan," hissed Vicki as she smacked him upside the head.
Danny turned to glare at his sister and return the smack when he saw her point to their youngest siblings who had come to stand next to them. Danny glared some more before muttering a sorry towards the two little ones. Ten year old Anna and seven year old Liam stared up at their siblings looking for a clue as to how to react. They weren't quite sure exactly what was going on.
"Are we going on vacation," asked Anna grabbing onto Danny's hand as movers brought the old, worn, brown leather couch out to a truck.
"People don't bring their couches with them on vacation," sneered Matt.
Vicki delivered a swift smack to the back of his head, like she had to Danny, and although Matt glared like his brother he knew better then to try to hit his sister. His older sister could easily take him down and if she didn't Danny would. They were all fiercely protective of each other, but Danny and Vicki more then everyone, especially of each other. Matt always chalked it up to being a twin thing.
"No babe, we're moving," said Danny with a smile as he looked at his little sister.
"Are we coming back," asked Liam, his lips trembling.
"Oh sweetie. We'll visit, but now we get to live in a new house and explore new places," said Vicki.
"But I likes it here Vicki. I don't wants to go," said Liam with a sniffle.
Vicki picked her brother up and held him close.
"You'll like it in Hawaii too. There are beaches and volcanoes and sharks," said Vicki knowing her youngest brother would love that last one.
"Sharks? There's sharks," asked Liam happily.
"Yep. And dolphins," said Danny watching as that brought a smile to Anna's face.
"Yay. Lets go," yelled the two youngest Williams children as they wriggled away from their siblings and went in search of their parents.
"What about our training," asked Matt, continuing their conversation from before.
"We'll train at Pearl," said Danny firmly.
"Fun. Hawaii here we come," said Matt glumly.
