AN: THANKS FOR THE REVIEWS! Sorry that I haven't updated in a while, got distracted w/my other story.

CHAPTER 2: the next day

I woke up in a strange bedroom and wondered where I was but then I remembered last night. I smiled because I had met the one and only Commander Steven J. McGarrett and he admitted to me that he had fallen for the Hawaiian beauty Kono but was afraid that if they got together something would happen and he couldn't live without her so he'd just love her in secret. I'm guessing that I was in Mary's old room because it had pictures of them and their parents when they were younger. As I walked around the room looking at different things I couldn't help but smile because there was one picture of Steve and his mom and he had this beautiful smile on his face that I've only seen when he smiles at Kono. I could tell it was only reserved for her because even when he smiles at Danny or Chin it's not the same one-there is a difference and I planned on getting him and Kono together.

I opened the door and ran into him- 'oh my god he's so gorgeous' I thought as I stood there just staring at his bare chest but I quickly pulled myself together. "So had a good workout?"

"Yeah I was just heading to take a shower." He smirked as he said this and I knew he noticed.

"Sorry for staring"

"It's okay"

"Love the tats by the way...normally I don't like people who have them but yours-damn you make them look sexy"

This time he blushed and smiled, "Thanks"

"Well I'm gonna go start some coffee and breakfast if you don't mind."

"No it's okay...do you know where it is?"

"Yes...I've seen your house."

"Oh that's right...apparently we're on a show."

I laughed at this and Steve gave her a confused look, "Oh my I'm sorry, it's just the way you said that and now you're sporting a confused face."

"I don't have a face."

"Yes you do now why do you keep saying you don't have them when you clearly do."

"Ok whatever...I'm going to go clean up and get ready for work. You go start breakfast-please."

"Yes Commander" I said with a smirk as I turned and headed downstairs to the kitchen. I looked in the fridge to see if he had the ingrediants for Loco Moco and sure enough he did. I pulled out my phone and got the reicipe I had saved and began putting it together after I had started the coffee. Steve came down in black cargos and white tee-shirt, 'damn he looked hot-this was going to be good, getting them together.' I thought to myself as I continued cooking and cleaning up as I went.

"What are you making?"

"Some Loco Moco"

"You know how to make that?"

"Yeah I got this reicipe before I left and I wanted to try it. Here's your plate and coffee, now go sit"

He nodded and left for the table and I got myself a plate and with my coffee in hand headed over to the table. I noticed he had a smile on his face, "So you like it?"

"I love it...wow this is great...how do you know so much about Hawaiian culture?"

"When the show first premired I loved it and then I wanted to know more about the islands and everything. I know that French and Italian are the romance languages but the Hawaiian language is so beautiful and I think that it's the most romantic if you ask me."

"I guess you're really into this..."

"Yeah I am, don't know why though...can I ask you something?"

"Sure. What's on your mind?"

"Do you really think Lori went back to the states?"

"Yeah, she said she has family there, why?"

"Well lets see first I did not like her nor did I trust her."

"Oh? Why not, she was a part of the team?"

"No! No! Steven Jack McGarrett you do not say that-she was NOT a part of the team. She was just a glorified babysitter by Governer Denning for you and look what happened-she nearly caused an international incident and almost got you killed. I can't believe you'd say that. Listen to me I do not want another Jenna Kay incident happening; I hated seeing you being tortured like that by Wo Fat, I wanted to rip through the TV and shoot him myself for doing that to you!"

I calmed down after by taking a couple of deep breaths and Steve looked at me with concerned eyes, "It really affected you didn't it?"

"Yes it did, I'm the type of person that gets really invovled in things, been like this my whole life. I'm just saying I don't want that to happen again Steve, he tried to break you Steve and next time he just might. I mean you probably still have nightmares about it like instead of seeing Jenna's face, you see Kono's face and that scares the hell of you. What I am saying is that maybe you should check on the flights to see if her name was on there and then just to be sure call her family or the local police department to make sure she didn't fly back out under an alias."

"You're right, I do still have them and you know that's good idea. Why don't you finally come to HQ and meet the rest of the team?"

"Who me-no I couldn't, I'll just stay here."

"No I won't allow it...come on, you know us so well already, come on please"

"Well I won't have you beg so alright I'll go with you. Is Danny coming to pick you up?"

"Yeah in about 10 minutes actually."

"Danny's here!" I called out to Steve and he came down with his house keys in hand, "Got enough rounds, gernades, weapons in those pockets of yours." I sarcastically said and he just rolled his eyes and I laughed as we headed out there. I noticed Danny get a questioning look so I knew I would have to explain myself. Steve opened the door for me, pulled back the seat and I got in the back.

"Steve who is this?"

"This is Samantha Alexander. She's new in town and I thought I'd show her around."

"Hi Danny."

"How do you know my name? Have we met before?"

"No...it's a long story"

"Well start from the top."

"Danny give her a break, listen she moved here to move on from her painful past to start fresh. We met at a bar yesterday and started talking-turns out this whole 5-0 thing is a TV show and she has very keen insight on things; she's very observant. Hey Samantha what about becoming a cop?"

"Huh never thought of that...oooh that would be so much fun, mahalo."

"So where are you from?" Danny pipped up again

"Texas. How's Gracie?"

"She's fine but how do you know I have a daughter?"

"Like Steve said, before I came here there was this TV show called, 'Hawaii 5-0' and it's centered around you four-Chin, Kono, Steve, and you Danny or shall I say Danno?"

"Oh no..don't you start...I have a hard enough time getting McGarrett to stop calling me that."

"Danny when he says that, it's a term of enderment."

"Hey I've said that before."

"I know Steve...you guys taught me so much"

"Like what?" they both said at the same time

"Well there is more than one way to open a door like kicking it in, blowing it out with a gernade, driving the car through it. And I know how to question a suspect."

"Really now? Care to explain"

"Well there's hanging them off the roof, throwing them into the shark cage, tie them to the hood of the car, push them up against the wall or just play it so damn cool that they get scared and start spilling."

"Okay well this is freaky-am I talking to another mini McGarrett? Am I going to have to watch you too?"

At that both Steve and I laughed our butts off and Danny just rolled his eyes, "You're going to tell me more about yourself later at lunch."

"Oh really? I am now?"

"Please, I would like to more about you."

"Okay...fine"

We went into HQ and Chin and Kono were already there. They looked from where they were talking and wonder who I was of course so I immediately spoke up, "Hi I'm Samantha Alexander, I just moved here. Nice to meet you both."

"Uhh have we met before?"

"No but I know both of you."

"How?"

This time Steve intervened, "She's trying to put behind a painful past so she hopped on a plane to here and somewhere along the way 5-0 became real instead of a TV show. Yes apparently there's a show about us, she's informed me of some things that I think we should look into. Any questions?"

"No that basically covers it." Kono said but Chin said, "Yea I do, just a couple"

"Shoot"

"Ok-what things is Steve talking about?"

"It's about Lori"

"What about her?"

"I didn't trust her, hell I couldn't trust anybody not after what Jenna did to ya'll, she betrayed you guys's trust and loyality and I deicided that I couldn't trust anyone new."

"That makes sense. What else do you know about us?"

"Well you just got married to your soul mate which I want to say congrates, that was a really sweet wedding."

"Thanks...anything else?"

"Well..."

"What?"

"It's about Kono"

"What about me?"

"You need to get your feelings together for Steve. Don't walk away." I grabbed her arm to stop her and she turns around to punch me but I duck and the next thing I know we're in a fight. Then I feel Danny's arms around me pulling me away and Steve was doing the same thing to Kono; although she was still trying to fight to get out of his arms. "How did you know that?" Kono loudly questioned in Steve's arms that were still around her and she didn't seem to mind nor was she trying to get out of them.

"Because I'm very observant and I see the way you two look at each other, the way he looks at you when you've done something incredible or when you're just doing you're job. It's the glances, the little touches, the smiles, it's the freaking body language between you two. I mean look at you two right now, you two fit together like a puzzle piece, like you were ment to be together, please don't fight it because I know in my gut that he's the one for you."

Kono turns to face Steve and he's smiling down at her, "Is this true Steven?"

"Yes Kono it is. I don't know when it happened but I fell very hard in love with you and I can't stop thinking about you."

"What about Catherine?"

"We discussed it and she knows I'm in love with you. She knew that we'd never have a relationship with her being gone months at a time, yes we cared for each other but we never loved each other so we came to a mutal agreement and we're only friends now. Kono I want to be with you for the rest of my life. I want us to get to one another better and I will spend the rest of my life caring, loving and protecting you with everything I've got and more." He bends down and gives her one passionate mind-blowing kiss that just leaves her smiling.

"Yay! I knew it'd work-uhh Danno you can let go of me if you want."

"Oh sorry"

"No it's okay, I like...nevermind"

Steve heard this and smiled at me and I just looked away blushing.

Chin wasn't too suprised about Steve loving Kono, in fact he thought she was a good match for him because he knew that Steve would do anything to keep her safe and Steve knew that if he ever hurt or broke Kono's heart then he'd have Chin to deal with and you really don't want to be on his bad side.
