(The Next Morning)

(At Steve McGarrett's House)

(Emma's P.O.V.)

I woke up with a jolt. Sitting up and looking at my surrounds as I did.

Once I calmed down enough, I realized I was in my bedroom at Steve's house.

I took a deep shaky breath and let it out, as I closed my eyes.

"Just a dream." I mumbled to myself. "It was just a dream."

I had a nightmare about the morgue.

It was the first one I had in months.

I shook my head slightly. Trying to shake the rest of the dream that remained away.

Then, once my heart was back to its normal pace, I got out of bed, and went to get ready for the day.

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN NNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

I was heading toward the stairs when I heard voices.

I recognized all three of them.

I walked down the stairs, and headed toward the kitchen.

And when I entered, I saw Steve, Catherine, and Danny sitting at the table talking.

Steve looked my way.

"Hey, Sis!" Steve said, happily. Smiling at me.

"Hey," I said, smiling a little back at him. "What's going on?"

"Your brother is making me go hiking with him." Danny said.

I looked at what Danny was wearing.

He was wearing his normal tucked in button up shirt, pants and shoes.

"In those clothes?" I asked.

"No, not in these clothes." Danny said. "I haven't changed, yet."

"And guess what?" Catherine said. "You and I are apparently going with them."

"Really?" I asked. "This is the first I'm hearing of this."

"Well, it was Chin's idea." Steve said. "He suggested we all go hiking together. Him and Kono are going to meet us on the trail."

"Ok." I said.

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN NNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

"Chin, I'm going to kill you." Danny said.

"Oh, come on, Danny." Chin said. "Take in the fresh air and embrace Mother Nature at its finest!"

Chin, Catherine, Steve, Kono, Danny, and I were hiking on a trail in the woods.

"I do take in Mother Nature." Danny said. "But I rather do it without hiking a fifty foot rock."

"Makes me wonder what Grace would say, Danno." Steve said. "I mean, she is a girl scout."

"This is all your fault." Danny said to him.

"How is this my fault?" Steve asked, as Danny and him stopped walking.

"I'm not a hundred percent sure yet, but I'm confident I will figure it out." Danny said.

"Ok." Steve said, giving him a smile that suggested otherwise. "Good luck with that."

"Are you taunting me?" Danny asked.

"Ok!" Catherine said, coming in between them. "Let's just keep walking."

Then, Catherine grabbed Steve's arm and pulled him along after Chin, who was leading us.

Kono walked by Danny and followed them.

I walked up to Danny.

"It's his fault." Danny said quietly.

"Uh huh." I said. "Let's keep going."

"I rather be watching the game right now." He said, as I grabbed his arm and began to pull him along.

"I know." I said.

"I can walk by myself." Danny said, pulling his arm away from me.

"Ok." I said.

"For the record, I don't mind hiking." He said. "It's just, whenever Chin picks a trail, I swear, it's the most difficult. And that includes the trails Steve picks."

I just smiled.

"You're smiling." Danny said. "You're amused by this?"

"Actually, yeah, I am." I said.

I then looked up ahead and saw Chin, Kono, Steve, and Catherine were getting farther ahead.

"We're following behind." I said. "Pick up the pace."

A couple seconds went by in silence as we began to catch up with the others.

Then, suddenly, I heard a noise.

"Ow." I heard Danny say.

I looked where Danny was, and stopped walking as I began to laugh.

Danny was on the ground.

"It's not funny." Danny said.

"Yes it is." I said.

"Just help me up." He said.

I walked over to him, and held my hand out to him.

Danny grabbed my hand and I pulled him up.

"Thank you." Danny said.

"You're welcome." I said.

Then, silence filled around us, as we stared at each other.

"We should, um," I began. "…Get going."

I then let go of his hand, and began to walk away.

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN NNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

(Danny's P.O.V.)

Emma let go of my hand, and began to walk away.

I watched her walk a couple steps as I tried to comprehend what had just happened.

I felt something.

When we were looking at each other, I felt something between us.

And I think she felt it too.

I shook my head.

It's all in my head, I reasoned with myself. There was nothing.

I then began to walk after her.

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN NNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

"I reckon this is a good place to set up camp." Chin said.

"Wait, camp?" I asked. "You mean, we're spending the night?!"

We were on a flat part of the trail. Roughly half way up.

"You didn't think this was going to be a one day hike, did you Danny?" Chin asked, clearly amused, as he took his backpack off.

"Well, I didn't exactly plan on staying the night." I said.

"Don't worry." Chin said. "There's three tents. Six of us. We each share one with someone else. By the way, I call Kono."

"Steve's going to pick Catherine, which will leave-" I began.

Then, I realized it.

"No." I said, shaking my head. "No, Chin. No."

"Sorry, Danno." Chin said, smiling.

"You planned this, didn't you?" I asked, as Chin took his tent out of his bag. "Why did you plan this? What is the purpose?"

"I don't know what you're talking about." Chin said, as he looked at me with his most innocent looking face I ever seen him give.

I narrowed my eyes at him.

"Hey, Kono!" Chin called. Avoiding my glare. "Come help me with the tent."

"Sure, cuz." I heard Kono say.

"This isn't over." I said to him.

Chin looked at me, and smiled a little.
