Hi guys, so sorry for the delay but it's the school holidays here in Scotland so my time is limited! Thanks so much for the reviews and alerts. It's great to see them pop up in my emails! Also a massive thank you as always to Jelly Bean Jenna, who also has been posting my chapters for the past few weeks also. But my new laptop is here so I'm up & running again.

Chapter 2
"It was the Governor but we don't have a case" Steve started off which got him raised eyebrows from both Danny and Chin "He's on his way and he has a visitor with him, someone from the Seals" Steve said as he took a seat next to Chin;
"Really?" Chin asked not hiding his surprise at who was coming.
Steve just nodded but before Danny could go off on another one of his rants about the Seals, the elevator pinged telling the 50 team that the Governor had already arrived.
As they quickly tided up the break room Steve wondered why a Seal would need the help of the Governor's task force, his mind could go over many things but it would have to wait as the voices and footsteps could now be heard in the hallway.
Sighing Steve just hoped that it was something simple so he could get out of here and head home.
Leaving the break room and stepping out into the hallway of the offices; Steve, Danny and Chin came face to face with the Governor along with his two bodyguards and a member of the Seals, who Steve couldn't remember ever knowing;
"Commander McGarrett, Detective Williams and Detective Kelly I would like you to meet ex Sergeant of the Navy Seals, Dave Collins" the Governor spoke as he introduced the four men around him.
"To what do we owe the pleasure of a visit from an ex Seal?" Danny asked in a tone to which he knew would have Steve rolling his eyes. Dave Collins smiled and gave Danny a small nod before speaking to the 50 team;
"I'm here with some sort of request if you want to call it that. The charity ball is coming up for the Veterans of the Seals and this year we would like something different, something that will have everyone enjoying themselves" he said with a slight cheekiness in his tone, a tone that didn't seem to sit right with Steve;
"I'm sorry if I come across as blunt but what does this have to do with 50?" he asked as he stood with his arms crossed over his chest. A stand that Chin and Danny knew all too, Steve was getting pissed off.
Much to Steve's shock though it was the Governor who answered the question;
"Before you have a go McGarrett I okayed this so therefore I won't have any complaints. At this year's charity ball you three will be part of it. So I suggest you get your dancing shoes on as this year the 50 team are doing Dirty Dancing just like the movie...Goodnight Detectives, Commander". and with that the Governor turned and walked back towards the elevator with his bodyguards and Dave Collins following behind.
All three of them stood stunned and speechless as to what they had just heard leave the Governor's mouth. None of them seemed to be believing what he had just said; he wanted the most successful taskforce to dress up and dance like puppets!
"Yeah so...do you think ummm...he's serious?" Danny asked stumbling over his words as he said them out loud. Steve however looked on absolutely horrified;
"Don't be ridiculous of course he's not serious. He's just trying to be funny Danny!" Steve said slightly annoyed, he had no intention of doing anything with regards to dancing. Chin however thought it was hilarious and burst out laughing at his two friends;
"I'm sorry but when did the Governor ever joke about anything?" he asked which seemed to make Steve and Danny go pale. Chin chuckled;
"I think we need to go and pay my cousin a visit" and with that Chin walked towards the elevators swinging his car keys as he went.
While waiting in the studio for her next client, Kono decided to keep herself busy with practising a couple of routine's she had been thinking of bringing into classes for some time now. While she practised her mind wondered back to Danny, thinking that maybe a case was the reason for him missing his class. She guessed that to be the reason anyway as Danny had never missed a class until now.
As she got her practising underway, she heard voices from outside the door to her studio. Listening as best she could over the music, she could tell there was two men complaining and another guy trying to reason with them. As she watched through the wall mirrors she was intrigued as to who it could be as her next client was a woman. She looked away from the mirror for a second do to the next part of the routine but when she looked back, there in the doorway to her studio was her cousin Chin along with Steve and Danny. Steve and Danny were the two complaining while Chin was trying to get them to understand something. Laughing to herself she stopped her routine and switched off the music before turning to her "family" whom seemed to have forgotten that she's actually there;
"I'm sorry to break up your disagreement but there must be a reason why your all here and yet seem to forget that I'm here" she said in a playful tone which seemed to bring the guys out of their own world;
"Sorry..." Chin and Danny mumbled slightly embarrassed that they had forgotten that they had came to see Kono. Steve however was stuck but how gorgeous she was in her tight dance shorts and tank top. He quickly came to his senses though as he realised he was drooling over his friend's cousin "not a good idea" he thought to him. He gave Kono a shy smile in reply to her statement instead of speaking.
"So what can I do for you?" she asked as she turned and headed for a bottle of water. She didn't really need it but she had to look away from Steve. She didn't know what it was as she had seen him in his cargo pants and tight black t-shirt plenty of times but for some reason, she seen him looking sexier now than before. Swallowing more of the water as intended; hoping to control her composure, she turned back to find her cousin with a huge smile on his face;
"We need your help" Chin stated as if it was the most simplest thing in the world. Kono however just raised an eyebrow letting Chin know that he would need to be more specific "The Governor wants 50 to be part of the Veteran Seal's charity ball and we need to do Dirty Dancing" he said pleased with himself as Steve and Danny grumbled their annoyance. Kono on the other hand stood absolutely stunned for a second before she burst into fits of laughter;
"See even she thinks it ridiculous!" Steve exclaimed as he threw his arms up in frustration;
"I'm..sorry...it's just the thought of the bad ass 50 team dancing" she said as she controlled her laughter. This however got Danny to but in;
"Hey! You don't think we have the moves" he said with humour in his tone. This brought out a genuine smile from Kono;
"I know you have the moves Danny but these..." but the rest of Kono's sentence was cut off by both Steve and Chin;
"What?" they both exclaimed at the same time looking between Kono and Danny for an explanation. Kono just looked confused but Danny, well he was mortified but couldn't blame Kono for letting it slip;
"I've been taking dance lessons for my wedding, I wanted to get it right this time round" he admitted waiting for the onslaught of laughter and jokes to come but they didn't. Steve and Chin just showed their support by squeezing both his shoulders. Neither of them cared if Danny was taking lessons or not as they knew how important his second wedding to Rachel was.
"So moving on, can you help?" Chin asked as both Steve and Danny just rolled their eyes. There was no way they were getting out of this even if they wanted too. Kono's face lit up at that question and gave her cousin a look as if to ask was he was serious but before she could reply her next client came rushing through the door;
"Oh god Kono I am so sorry for being..." but the person came to a sudden stop as she looked at the people facing her. She couldn't believe who was here;
"Rachel! What are you doing here?" Danny asked as he moved to stand closer to his soon to be wife again. Rachel's eyes darted between Danny and Kono as she thought of something to say but it was Kono who beat her too it;
"She's my next client Danny, she's running late and I actually thought she wasn't going to appear just like you" Kono said oblivious to the fact that Danny and Rachel were keeping the same secret;
"You're taking classes and didn't tell me?" Danny and Rachel both asked at the same time. Kono was once again confused as she watched the pair;
"Hang on...you both know each other?" she ask. God she really needed to get out more. While she waited for either Danny or Rachel to reply, she was shocked when she heard Steve's voice, closer than he had been before;
"Yeah they know each other, Danny and Rachel are getting married to one another for the second time" Steve said as he brushed against Kono as he stood next to her. The electricity that ran through her body in that moment sent goose bumps all over her;
"Ok..." Kono said clearing her throat trying to hide the fact that, that small contact had affected her "Well now we have that cleared up if you guys don't mind I have a class now. But I will help you out with this charity ball so I will give you a call in a few hours" she said as they all said their goodbyes and she practically pushed them through the door. As she did so though her hand pushed against Steve's strong arm just as the door closed behind them.
As Chin and Danny walked ahead chatting about some program that was on TV, Steve just couldn't get Kono out of his mind. From the moment he walked into her studio he just couldn't take his eyes off her and then the small contacts they shared. He too felt the electricity run through his own body when he brushed against her and when her hand found his arm. Sighing and rubbing a hand over his face he knew that this dancing thing for charity wouldn't be easy with Kono being there all the time.
Little did he know that Kono was thinking the exact same thing.
Ah so there you have chapter 2 and there's already heat between Kono and Steve with just small touches! Once again I apologise for the delay and hopefully I can get through this faster! More soon.
