20 Good Reasons

Danny paced before the couch. With every pass he caught Steve's eyes and turned away and then caught his Daughter's. They were sitting patiently, waiting for an answer that was still forthcoming. Danny was agitated. The currently proposed plan was not sitting well with him. Granted, he did have a few days off and he had Grace for all of them, but he didn't like the plan that Steve had proposed. Grace did, however.

"I want one good reason," Danny said at last as he made another past by the couch.

"I'll give you 20," Grace smiled. "One, Steve is strong and a super hero, he'll protect me. Two, it will be educational to go to the big island and see the volcano erupting. Three, I have to write a paper on why I love Hawaii and this may give me a topic for my essay…"

"Ok, ok, Grace, that great. Steve what do you have to say for yourself," Danny asked eyeing his partner.

"Do you want 20 reasons from me too?" Steve asked with a smile.

"No, just build your case," Danny stated throwing his hands in the air.

"I invited you to come along. You haven't been to the volcano yet either," Steve said.

"Four, Steve can fly a helicopter. Five, we can get you some more of that Kona coffee you like so much Danno…" Grace counted off reason on her hands. "Six, we'll be away from Oahu so Mommy and Step-Stan can't make me go home early…"

"Six is a good reason," Steve smiled.

"Please Danno; can we go to the volcano?" Grace asked.

Danny began his pacing again. It was one of the rare occasions that Danny had Grace for more than the two day weekend. He wanted to do something special, wanted to make it a time to remember but he wasn't sure that island hopping or Volcano viewing was what he had in mind.

"Please, please, please," Grace pleaded.

"I have some free passes for the water park too," Steve said trying to sweeten the pot.

"Oh, Danno, please?" Grace asked practically falling on her knees at her father's feet.

"Alright fine," Danny stated as he fell into one of the chairs in Steve's living room.

"Yes!" Grace and Steve both shared a high five as they jumped up from their places on the couch.

"Promise me this is going to be a relaxing, non-dangerous trip." Danny stated as he caught Steve's eye.

"I'm a super hero. You'll be fine!" Steve smiled.
