The objective was simple enough: Search the suspect's place of business, a small warehouse down on the docks. Danny and Steve would take the office while Chin, Kono, and Lou searched the rest of the premises. They went at night to avoid suspicion.

Naturally, things didn't go as planned. As Danny and Steve approached the office, they surprised a shadowy figure already rifling through the desk. The figure pushed past them and took off out of the warehouse and towards the dock.

Steve and Danny raced after him. The figure reached the end of the dock and dove off, frantically swimming off with no destination in sight. Danny skidded to a stop, but Steve continued after him, launching himself into the air and shifting into a dragon, spreading his wings to take flight.

And promptly did a belly-flop into the water, landing wings-deep with a dragon-sized splash. Danny immediately began yelling at him. "Just what do you think you're doing, Steven? Whatever possessed you to turn into a dragon when you're a perfectly good swimmer?"

Steve shifted back, and Danny pulled him out of the water. "Well, Steven? I'm waiting for an answer."

"I thought it would be cool."

"Cool!? You thought it would be cool!?" Danny echoed. "Yeah, it would be cool, if you KNEW HOW TO FLY! Not to mention the fact that you ruined another set of clothes. What have I told you about shifting while fully clothed? All the sewing skills in the world won't be able to repair those clothes!"

By this time, the others had reached them. "Um, guys?" Kono interrupted.

Two heads swiveled towards her. "What?" Steve and Danny snapped out in unison.

"When were you going to tell us Steve's a dragon?"

That gave both Danny and Steve pause. "Ummm..." Steve said.

"I thought we did," Danny said. "Didn't we?"

"No, you did not," Lou said. "Or at least if you did, I missed the memo, but I'm Johnny come lately to this party."

Chin and Kono shook their heads. "We didn't know, either," Kono said.

"If it makes you feel better," Steve said. "We just found out a couple of weeks. Seems to be another thing my parents didn't see fit to tell me."

"It's not like we were keeping it from you," Danny chimed in. "I guess it just sort of slipped our minds. I'm mean, we're so close, it seems like we already know everything about each other."

"Some things we do. Some things we have to be told," Chin said.

Steve looked abashed. "Sorry guys. But you know now."

"That we do," Chin agreed. "And you did make quite a splash with that announcement," he said with a grin.

Danny got back to business. "If you three"-he gestured at Chin, Lou, and Kono-"are done gawking, and you"-he gestured at Steve-"are done with foolish heroics, I suggest somebody swim after our perp before he drowns."

"Oh, right. Are you sure I can't turn into a dragon?" Steve pleaded.

"Yes, I'm sure," Danny said firmly. "You're the SEAL. Swim."

Steve sighed resignedly. "Okay, fine," he said, and swam.

A/N: I'll probably alternate Dragon!Danny and Ninja the cat for a while, since I've got more ideas for both. Dragon!Danny will have the dragon icon, and Ninja the Cat will have my beautiful, big, black boy (not named Ninja. ;) ).
