A/N: Hey guys! Okay, this is my first story ever on this website, and I am going to try my best. For now, I'll probably be writing Hawaii Five o Steve and sometimes Danny whumps, and that's exactly what this is. Steve whump, how exciting. So I want some help here, guys. Feedback, review, please. I really will need help, I'm in eighth grade, so I'm maybe not the best writer. And that is where my readers come in. I want to improve to become better for high school, so that's what this is. Okay, enough about me, now to the story.

Summary: Steve just wanted to give Grace the best weekend ever without tragedy happening. But, this is Steve that we're talking about, of course it won't be that easy for him! Includes plenty of action and pointless Steve whump.

Chapter one

"Gracie! There you are!" Steve exclaims as he opens his front door to reveal an excited little girl and her blonde father. "I have been waiting for you two! What took so long?" Steve pulls the door open a little more to allow his company in.

"Well, I'm sure you can tell by now," Danny says, gesturing towards his outfit.

"What? It looks like what you wear everyday. Very dapper." Steve smirks and eyes Danny's outfit up and down. It was an ugly green suit with a solid purple dress shirt and orange tie. All Danny can do is roll his eyes and give Steve his best death stare.

"Very funny, Steven. Now, I have to go, the date's waiting," Danny paused a moment to wiggle his eyebrows, then he continues. "Take good care of my Monkey. I'm serious, Steven, I just want her back in one piece. I mean, a day at the amusement park should be easy enough, am I correct? Just a few rollercoasters and some icecream. Now, I want her in bed by ten, if she goes any later than that, she won't be able to sleep when school comes back around. Also, maybe it would be best if you didn't give her an excessive amount of junk food, like last time. I don't want her throw-" Danny rants on about his child's safety when Steve clearly already knows the drill already and doesn't need Danny to explain it all over again.

"Danno, I get it. Get going, your date is waiting, remember?" Steve then imitates Danny's eyebrow wiggle from earlier.

"Yeah, you're right. I'll see you tomorrow night, okay, Monkey? Danno loves you." He leaned down and gave Grace a peck on the forehead and turned to walk out the door.

"Okay, Grace. I have a lot planned for us today. First, we can go to the small amusement park about half an hour away. It just opened up a few days ago and I know you love big roller coasters." Steve told the little girl about what he wanted to do with her. He received gleeful nods and giggles in response.

I less than an hour, Steve and Grace arrived at the newly opened amusement park. The place was small, only a few rollercoasters and rides, but it still had the potential to be a great day.

"Uncle Steve, can we go on that small rollercoaster first?" Grace asks, pointing at a small purple rollercoaster with two loops. "I like to start out small, but not too small. I hate those kiddie rides."

Steve lets out a snort. Despite herself being a kid, she hated kiddie rides. Not that that was a bad thing, he sure hated those kiddie rides, too.

"Sounds like a great plan!" Steve took Grace's hand and led her into the entrance of the park where he paid and got tickets. They got in the park at about 1 o'clock and managed to get to the small purple rollercoaster by only 1:10. It wasn't a long wait for being newly opened.

Slowly, they crept their way through the short line. Just because there were only a couple people in front of them didn't mean that the line was going to move fast. Steve just wanted to get up to that rollercoaster so they could move on to a bigger one. He wasn't complaining, that's what happens when you bring a little girl to one of these parks, but he didn't deny that a bigger one would be much more to his liking.

"Hey, Uncle Steve, we are going to have the best day ever!" A high pitched voice penetrated Steve's silent thoughts.

"I agree, Gracie! I haven't been to one of these places since I was a lil' kid." Steve grinned down at the little girl. She was just so adorable, those big brown eyes and pigtails.

In just a matter of twenty minutes, Steve and Grace had made it to the front of the line. They were both smiling from ear to ear like big dopes, but so did everyone else around them. Amusement parks in Hawaii were very uncommon, and it was pure luck that one had finally arrived. Soon enough, Grace and Steve were both sitting down in the hard purple seating of the coaster with straps coming over their shoulders and waists. If possible, their smiles both grew just a little more.

"You ready for this, Grace? Seems like a good one." Steve turns his head and looks Grace who is sitting beside him.

"Yes! This is totally awesome!" Grace laughs and clenches the railing on the inside of the cart as they started their uphill climb. Click, click, click. Up, up they went, to the top of the track. It wasn't very high, only up about 90 feet, but it still took plenty of suspenseful time to reach the peak. On their left side was a vast amount of water, a manmade lake, and to the right was stands and trees for shade. It was a beautiful sight on both sides, but Steve being Steve wanted to look out on the water, and so he did. He just stared, waiting for the time to reach the top to pass. It sparkled in the bright Hawaiian sun.

A few more seconds and they would be at the top. Steve was excited, he wanted to feel the fast wind in his hair, but that wind never came. The ride stopped at the point of the track, and just sat there, unmoving. There was a murmur of disappointment, anger, and fear throughout everyone on the ride.

"Uncle, Steve? What's happening? Why is it stopping?" Grace tugged at Steve's light blue shirt sleeve and looked at him in horror.

"It's okay, Gracie. It will start in a minute or two, we just have to give it some time. Just sit back and enjoy the view. The workers down there will help us, don't you worry. It will be fine." Steve threw a thumb over his shoulder to gesture to the workers that 'would help them'. All she managed was a shaky nod in response. Steve just glanced around at everyone around him, making sure there were no suspicious faces. He was sure it had nothing to do with any of these people, but he was just taking precausions. Just as he was suspecting, there was no one that looked out of the ordinary. He just laid his head against the solid headrest and looked out over the water. But that's when he heard the distinct ticking noise that could only mean one thing.

A/N: So, what do you guys think? Am I at least close to being on the right track? I dunno, this is why I need some help. Reviews would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, guys! P.S, I don't exactly get the meaning of beta people. Does that mean someone reviews your story and fixes it up a bit? I want one of those! Anyone want to help me get my hands on one? Thanks again.
