Grace questions him about how they’ve been trying to break the curse in between mouthfuls of grilled cheese, and Danny dutifully tells her the list in his head, and he doesn’t even leave out the thing with the shoes. Grace takes a large gulp of her juice and then fixes Danny with her most serious look. “But Danno, you guys didn’t try the kissing thing!”
Danny’s pretty sure his eyebrows just became a permanent part of his hair, they migrated up there so quickly.
“The kissing thing?” he repeats slowly.
Grace nods. “Yeah, like in Snow White and Sleeping Beauty and Enchanted and the Princess and the Frog, and even Shrek.”
And in less than five minutes, his daughter had come up with a plan that had more resources backing it than anything they had turned up in the past few days. When Kono walks in and gets a glass of water, Grace repeats her solution.
“What could it hurt?” Kono shrugs. Grace is beaming brighter than anything, and Danny’s just wondering how far Catherine is from shore this time.
As he’s speculating this, Grace takes Kono’s hand and practically drags her up the stairs again, shouting for Danny to follow them. Okay, so they’re doing this now.
When they reach Steve’s room, Grace points Kono towards the bed and explains, “In the Princess and the Frog, the princess broke it, so you could do it, I think.”
Kono laughs for a second, but leans down a presses brief kiss to Steve’s lips. Danny knows this is ridiculous, he wants to say how ridiculous this is, but for a second there, he holds his breath—but nothing happens.
“Sorry, Grace. Guess I’m not a princess.” Kono gives her an apologetic smile.
“It’s okay, you tried your best.” Grace sighs. “But it doesn’t have to be a princess. It still should have worked.”
“Well, maybe it takes some time to really get to working. Come on, why don’t we go swim some more while we wait for this magic stuff to kick in, huh?”
Grace is reluctant to go, which is a first, her being less than enthusiastic about splashing around in the ocean. But she gets back into it, and the next thing Danny knows, Rachel’s showing up to collect Grace. Danny sends Kono home shortly after that; she’s already sacrificed most her weekend to this, she might as well get to have some fun tonight. Not that they are probably going to work in the morning, since the team is sort of on leave due to Steve’s sudden outbreak of the chicken pox.
tale as old as all this island bullshit. or, why Danny feels his hatred of coconuts is justified 5/?
