... lady." He said as he pretended to be very gallant, "Your chariot to the ball is waiting." Grace smiled adoringly up at Steve as he led her to her truck and got her settled inside. Once the arrived at Grace's school and checked in, the headed towards the gym which had been turned into a pretend ballroom for the night. Grace immediately found a few of her friends who were also there with their fathers and introductions were made as they found a table to claim for the night. One friend in particular named Lucy asked Grace and Steve to sit at the same table with her and her dad, so they happily obliged. Lucy had been crushing on Steve ever since he'd been her "knight in shining armor" on an Aloha Girls campout last year. Danny and Steve had been chaperones on the trip when Steve and Lucy had both been kidnapped by a fugitive. Steve had saved the day…..and Lucy…..and she had sworn she was going to marry him someday. Grace grabbed Steve hand and looked up at him with her sweet smile and big brown eyes, "Dance with me, Uncle Steve?" she asked. Steve wouldn't have turned down that face for anything.

I'm sure he'll make it up to you somehow." Steve winked at her. "It's okay." Grace said. "I like being here with you too! You're a lot taller than Daddy, though." They both laughed at that. They continued to dance together until the song ended and they decided to go get some refreshments from the snack table that had been set up. One of the mothers who had a hand in getting the event organized was there handing out drinks to the guests when she saw Grace and Steve approach. She smiled her most dazzling smile at the handsome man in the dark suit approaching with Grace. Her eyes never left Steve. "Well, hello Grace. Who is this with you tonight?" "This is my Uncle Steve, Ms. Norwood. My daddy had an accident at work today and couldn't be here tonight, so Steve came with me instead." "Well isn't that nice of Uncle Steve. We're happy to have you here." She was giving him her most flirtatious look as she reached out to shake his hand. Grace noticed with some annoyance that she had leaned over slightly to give Steve a view of her very obvious cleavage. Steve seemed oblivious to it as he shook her hand in return. "Steve McGarrett.
