Howdy All, thanks for the reviews and comments. I'm loving them. Now for another chapter. We'll have another little does of Steve. This is just going to be a short little chapter. Also the Barbecue and some other bits will come in the next chapter. I'm also playing with the idea of email.
Did I mention I don't own H50 CBS does nor do I own Stargate Anything MGM does.
There was this incessant ringing in Carson's head, he rolled over and it just kept coming. It took him a few seconds to realize it was a phone. He checked his cell phone, it was silent, it couldn't be the hospital. Carson reached over blindly fumbling around until his hand found the phone.
" hmm mh" Carson half mumbled, half grunted into the phone, only to have his ear assault by a wide awake 14 year old boy.
" Good Morning Dr. Beckett!" The voice rang out over the phone. Carson looked toward the window, eyes blurred with sleep. The sun hadn't even thought of waking up yet.
" Steven it is….it's 4:50am, the sun isn't even up yet. This better be good"
" uhh" Carson could hear the boy pause.
" Steven?"
" I just wanted to know if Danny wanted to come to the BBQ tonight?" Carson covered the receiver with his palm and started swearing in gaelic.
" Steven, go back to bed….sleep, like a normal teenage boy"
" Ok, good bye Dr. Beckett." Carson rolled his eyes, that boy was a piece of work. Carson promptly burred back into the pillows and fell asleep.
Truth be told, Carson was not a morning person. He came stumbling down the stairs and was immensely thankful when Danny shoved a mug of rather horrible coffee into his hands. Carson noted to give Danny an A for effort and set out not to grimace at the bitter taste. He was sure the boy would learn when coffee became important to him, they all did.
" Morning Carson" Danny asked while he spooned some instant oatmeal into two bowls. He'd woken up around nine and couldn't go back to sleep. Usually he'd sleep until 3 in the afternoon but then he'd been going to bed at 3 in the morning, despite his parents sending him to bed at 11.
" Hey kid, sleep alright?"
" mmmm yeah pretty good, You?"
" Not really, the hospital called six different times for phone consults, then my paper boy bless his heart called before the ass crack of dawn, wanting to know if you'd like to go to a barbecue with him and Kono later." Carson said between mouths of Danny's half homemade oatmeal. Danny seemed to add some Bananas and Blueberries and some other something to it.
" Can I?" Danny asked.
" Yeah, actually that'll work out just fine. I have to go to the hospital four, they need me in for an emergency surgery scheduled for four in the afternoon."
" Awesome, Thanks Carson."
After breakfast Carson and Danny set about their days. Danny played on his laptop, he'd wanted to get the new Cody Simpson CD and Carson had given him the password to his itunes account. He said that Danny could buy $15 worth of stuff from the itunes store for his allowance this week if he wanted that instead of the cash. Danny made his bed, and vacuumed his room and made a note about asking Carson if he'd help him paint it. Danny really was not a fan of teal and the white was just bit sterile. For an hour or so Danny sketched some pictures. He found it cathartic in a few things were. He'd gotten Kono's email from Chin and decided to send her an email.

Hey Kono, it's Danny. I got your email from Chin, well Carson got it for me. Carson said I could go the BBQ with you and Steve. I'm kind of nervous about starting school on Monday, I wasn't exactly all that great of a student at my old one. Is there anything I need to know so I don't shoved into a locker?"
Danny hit the send button and read some more the book he'd started the other night while waiting for the reply he got ten minutes later.
Kono opened her email and smiled at the address, it could only be Danny the boy she saw at the shop with Carson the other day.

Howzit Brah, thats cool. Glad you got my email from Chin. How you settling in? Kukui High is…..well it's school Danny, so it sucks but it's also good. Just try to avoid the football team. They are all dicks. After Chin graduated Kukui forever ago, the football guys have all been losers.
Principal Maybourne is an ass and doesn't like anybody…so just ignore him. The secretary Mr. Landry is a hard ass but he's also very fair and will be your biggest alley when you stay honest with him. Don't buy cafeteria lunch, Steve made that mistake his freshman year and got food poisoning so bad he'd spent the night in cuddled up to timmy the toilet. Just always bring your lunch.
If you want a bird course, I'd recommend art with Mr. Lorne or home ec with Mrs. Tydwell. Although you actually enjoy art in order to really get a decent grade in Lorne's class.
You'll meet a few freshman and sophomores at the BBQ brah so you'll know some people.
Kono hit send and took off to the beach to get in a few hours at the beach before the barbecue. She heard there was going to be a decent swell from some of the locals and there was no way she'd be missing it. He pro career may have gone out the window with her accident, but she could still kick ass and take names on the waves.
Danny and Carson worked on cleaning the basement for a few hours and true to Carson's word it wasn't like his glovebox. They'd been rearranging furniture and brought the upstairs tv, downstairs. It really did complete the lounge area which had two arm chairs and a sofa. Danny thought the basement was pretty cool, Carson had foosball, air hockey and pool tables set up in the corner and sports memorabilia mounted on walls. There was also a well stocked bar and Danny smiled when carson pointed out the "KID" fridge which had sodas and cheese strings in it. In a side room there was a home gym, boxing bag and a wrestling mat. They even found the longboard that Carson said he could have it was a sector 9 and Danny thought it was awesome.
" Hey Danno, Thanks for helping me"
" Thanks for the longboard. It's so cool down here!" Danny cooed still in awe
" Haha yeah it's my one real investment. Sometimes my buddies will come over or some work colleagues and we'll chill here. Kono practically lived here for month trying to beat me at foosball. It's impossible by the way. She lost several bags of candy that month." Danny laughed, he really didn't get Kono and Carson's relationship but he knew he thought it was awesome.
" I'll be smart enough to bet my candy on air hockey Dr. Beckett."
" Let's play some video games until Steve and Kono get here. They're going to grab you they're taking their bikes so you'll probably want to change into some shorts."
" OK lets play I'll change later." Danny said. Danny noticed the New Jersey Devils coasters and smiled. Carson must of got those for him, because Carson didn't really like hockey.
