When Danny entered the Five-Oh headquarters, he did not expect what he saw. Chin and Kono were crowded around their fearless leader and he had his back to the entrance. Chin and Kono were smiling broadly and Chin was the first to see Danny.
"Brah! Come on and see what he can do. Did you know he could do this?" Chin called, waving Danny over.
"Do what?" Danny asked, wary of this what.
Danny turned into McGarrett's office and saw a long, wooden instrument in McGarrett's hands.
"Is that- is that a guitar?" Danny asked, eyes wide.
McGarrett nodded and strung an A cord then rocked a C cord in a tune Danny had never heard.
"No offense but that sounded kind of annoying." Danny admitted.
"Good. It was supposed to be. I call that song 'Danno's song'. I just heard a tune in my head that was so annoying it reminded me of your complaining and hatred of pineapples and I just decided to play it for everyone. It's a masterpiece of amazing-ness, isn't it?" Steve chuckled and Danny glared.
"No it is not. But I have to admit you can play well. I won't say anything else." Danny said, turning his back to his teammates to make his way over to his own office. A small smile played on his lips, he had liked the song Steve played but would never admit it.
Two weeks later
Danny entered the Five-Oh headquarters like any other day. Steve called him over and he had an envelope in his hands.
"What is that? We got another case?" Danny asked.
"No I just made this for Grace and I made a CD with it too. I just thought she might like it." Steve said, not meeting Danny's eyes. That worried him, whenever Steve didn't make eye contact that meant two things: he was hurt and he didn't want to show Danny or he had something for Danny that Danny most likely didn't like.
"What is it?" Danny asked warily.
"Do you have a CD player in your car?" Steve asked.
"Yeah. Why?" Danny asked again.
"Let her hear it first. Just tell her it was with love from Uncle Steve." Steve said, bolting out the door.
Later that night, when Danny picked up his sweet, wonderful daughter Grace he gave her the presents and relayed the message. She lit up and slammed the CD into the player. After waiting a bit for the CD to load, a familiar song echoed through the car. Gracie light up and immediately started to move to the music. She opened the envelope and laughed. She showed him the letter Steve had obviously written her.
Dear Gracie,
I hope you like this. Danno knows what it is.
Love
Uncle Steve
