Hi All! So I've busy busy busy for the last week and a half writing a story. Done 7 chapters, but alas that story doesn't seem to be working completely so Its going to take a longer time to finish that one. In the meantime I was looking up pics of horses for a friend of mine today and then this idea popped into my head! Have no idea what to do with the whole story, but I'm sure it'll come to me sometime. Feel free to PM me with some ideas! Herewith the first chapter….

Chapter 1

The day was as any other. Our favourite team was working on clearing their desks of all the paper that had accumulated over the week. The previous week had been busy. They had found themselves in many uncomfortable situations and finally the week had wound down and it was almost their weekend off, much to their relief. They all sat in their individual offices and sorted through the only thing holding them back from going home, the paper obstacles on their desks, if anybody had walked in they wouldn't have even known that they were silently playing a game. Danny let out a moan that was heard by all other members of the group. They all seemed to look up at once and smile.

"You're it Danny!" Kono shouted, a little too happily as she lifted the last 3 files off her desk and carried them towards Danny's office.

"No I'm not! I never SAID a thing." He protested.

"You didn't have to," Steve joined in. "You moaned! And the rules specifically state that the first one to moan does everybody else's paper work!" He grinned a cheeky grin at his partner as he put only one file on his desk. "Lucky for you I'm almost done!"

"Well, I'm far from done." Chin smiled at Danny who only seemed to shake his head in disbelief. "But, I would never leave you with all that to do on a Friday night."

"I would." Kono giggled as she placed her 3 files on Danny's desk. "Hmmm… what am I going to do with all this free time?" She started to walk out of his office, smiling proudly to herself. She turned and flashed a winning smile at Danny who only rolled his eyes.

"Fine. Leave me here! But I'm going to get you back."

"No, you're not." She flashed another smile his way as she walked back towards her office.

"So, what are still doing here? Don't you have some poor soul to torture now that I'm doing your paper work?" He aimed his conversation at Steve.

A cocky grin was returned to his banter, "Hmmm..I think I would love to stay and torture you, but instead I'll go home and put on some steaks." His phone rang in his pocket and when he saw the caller his grin fell away, "Maybe not. Governor?"

Steve paced around Danny's office as he spoke to the governor. Danny couldn't make out the conversation. It seemed very one sided. Eventually the conversation ended and Steve put his phone in his pocket.

"So, weekend ruined. I feel so bad for you." The sarcasm in Danny's voice was noted.

"No, actually I think it might have gotten a little better." Danny gave him a very confused look.

"How so?"

"We've got a case next week and we are going to have to do some prep work this weekend for it."

"only you would think prepping for a case makes a good weekend." Danny raised his hands in the air.

"What kind of prep work?" Chin asked.

Just then Kono was making her way past Danny's office on her way out the door. "See you guys Monday."

"Nope, I'll see you tomorrow." Steve grinned at her and she felt slightly confused at his look.

"Uh…You will?"

"Yeah, You will?" Danny interjected.

"Kono and I are going horse riding tomorrow."

"Uh, we are?" She hadn't seen him on the telephone with the governor and was very confused.

"Yup, I'll pick you up at 10."

"Sorry, boss. But why I am going horse riding?"

"Coz next week you and I get to go live on a ranch. Governor's orders."

"Oh. Okay?" She smiled a little. "Till tomorrow then?" She left the building, moving pretty quickly so that the boys didn't notice the silly grin on her face. She wasn't sure if was because the idea of being on a ranch with Steve was exciting because she loved the way he policed or if it was because she just liked him. Either way she didn't want the others to see her expression. She thought about how maybe she should have mentioned that she didn't ride horses all that well. Yes she could ride a horse, but her level of expertise wasn't exactly up to scratch. Oh well, we'll just have to see how it goes. She smiled to herself, content that her weekend would be filled with work…and Steve.

The next morning was a bright and sunny day, perfect for horse riding and maybe a little surfing Steve thought to himself. He had gone for his normal morning swim, a little later than usual, and was now getting ready to go and pick Kono up for their day . He couldn't help but grin to himself about the way she had looked so surprised, yet happy to be going with him. He dressed himself in cargo pants, a tight shirt and an overshirt. He was sure that there had been a look in her eye, more than normal eager to be in the action look. He hoped so at least. She was one of a kind that girl. Damn intelligent, witty, funny, active and well, gorgeous. He had kept his feelings at bay for her due to their work environment, but the excuse was getting old. If he spent almost every day with her anyway, what would a little romance hurt? And I do romance well. He was continuing to grin to himself when he was sidetracked by his ringing phone. He looked at the caller ID and his eyes lit up.

"Morning Kono."

"Hey boss." She sounded happy to hear his voice, but a little nervous at the same time. "So, you almost ready?"

"Yeah. I'll be there in about 15 min. Eager to ride with me, Kono?"

Kono was grateful that they were talking on the telephone and he couldn't see her blushing. "Yeah yeah. Its not that, its just that I should probably tell you something."

"I'm listening."

"I'm not really good at riding…" She paused for a few moments. "…horses, that is." Another blush immediately flushed her face.

"Okay. But you can ride?" He was smiling at her choice of words and started running down the stairs of his house to gather his stuff in the living room.

"Yeah a little. So if you want to take somebody else I'll totally understand."

"Relax Kono, we're not expected to ride like pro's." He didn't want to give her spot to anybody else.

"Okay. Well, I'll see you in a couple of minutes then."

"Okay then. Dress comfortable."

Steve pulled up to the apartment and smiled as he noticed Kono walking down the stairs of the apartment complex eventually walking in the parking lot towards his van. He opened his door and climbed out, giving her a once-over while wearing his aviators. Wow. If she looked so good while dressing comfortable, then dressing up is something to look forward to. She was wearing a pair of blue tight skinny jeans and a lime green tank top that seemed to gather at the chest area, showing her cleavage slightly.

"Hey. Great day out today."

"Its Hawaii, when isn't there a great day." She smirked in response to him making idle chit chat.

He grabbed her back pack from her and tossed it into the back seat of the van, opening the door for her and gesturing for her to climb in while he waited to close her door for her. He then ran around to the drivers side door and jumped in. He started the engine and looked at her through his sunglasses. "Ready for the ride of your life?" He joked with her.

"Oh baby, oh baby!" She laughed a little in response.

After Steve had pulled the vehicle out on the highway they both seemed to settle back and relax a little. They both seemed a little nervous to themselves and eventually Kono broke the not so awkward silence.

"So what's this all about?"

"hmm?"

"The case? Why exactly are we going horse riding?"

"Oh yeah. Well, the Governor called yesterday. Said she needed two of us to go to a ranch on Tuesday, she's booked us in, to find out about some guys that are reportedly manufacturing meth somewhere in the area."

"Okay, what's our cover?"

"Don't really know. Haven't thought that far." Kono gave him a curious look.

"But if the Governor requested for you and I to do this then surely she would have given us a cover already?"

"Well, she requested 2 of us, not necessarily us specifically." He looked smug for some reason. "And Danny and Chin just don't seem like they enjoy the outdoors as much as you and I, therefore they would make the whole undercover thing unbelievable." He smirked and watched her reaction out of the corner of his eye.

"Oh. Right." She was sure there was another reason, but didn't press the issue. "so what's our cover going to be?"

He immediately noticed a small wave of happiness cross her face. "Well…" he joked, "How about we are brother and sister."

Kono laughed out loud at the suggestion. "Um, I think the difference in nationality might give that away."

Steve laughed aswell, fully aware that he didn't want to play the part of her brother anyway. "Okay then, shoot me down. How about we're a young couple taking a week's vacation." He turned his eyes from the road to watch her as he spoke to her.

She smirked, knowing that he was looking for a reaction. One she would not give him the satisfaction of having. "Well, I could pull that off. Not sure about you though?" She eyed him for his response this time.

"Oh Really. And why would I not be able to pull that off."

"Well, lets just say you're not really the one woman kind of guy. For one whole week you would have to be charming, sweet and …."she purposely delayed the last word. "…affectionate to one woman."

He pretended he took offense to her words. "Hey. I can be affectionate and all the other things."

"Sure you can." It was a dare, one she was fully aware that she was implying.

"Ok Kono Kalakaua. A happy young couple we will be. You better bring you're A game." He smiled and turned his eyes back to the road not noticing the smirk on Kono's face.
