The days were passing and nothing was changing.The physio comes out of Steve's room,He approaches Danny
Danny-So how was he today?
Physio-I'm gonna say I am a bit concerned
Danny-Why's that?His body's not responding?
Physio-No,he just lost all his motivation,how's he doing psychologically?
Danny-I have to admit it,he's not doing good,he's all day at home,at the beach and he stares at the ocean,he wants to swim but he can't and his whole life was around water,he practically grew up in the ocean
Physio-I see,I can help with that,I have a friend who helps kids with disabilities to swim,I think it would motivate him to remember how it is to do what he loves
Danny-Call him to come tomorrow
Physio-I will but you'll have to help him since Steve's pretty big
Danny-No problem with that
Physio-Okay,goodbye
Danny-Goodbye
They physio leaves.Next morning someone knocks the door,Danny opens
Danny-Are you Kai?
Kai-Yes,you are Danny right?
Danny-Yes,come in
Kai comes in,Danny closes the door
Danny-Thank you so much for coming to help,he really needs it
Kai-Anything I can do to help the Commander
Steve-(from his room)Sho is at the door Danno?
Danny-Surprise,come here
Steve comes at the room,he sees Danny talking to Kai
Danny-Steve meet Kai
Steve-Aloha Kai,nice to meet you
He looks at Danny
Steve-What's up Danno?From what the swimsuit?
Danny-Go wear yours,we're going swimming
Steve-I can't swim Danny,you forget that?
Kai-I'm here to help with that
Steve-Really?
Kai-Yes
Steve runs to his room with a huge smile on his face.He couldn't get ready fast enough,he comes out fast enough,Danny watches him and smiles.
Steve-How are you gonna do this?
Kai-I would tell you to wear a vest but I am sure you are gonna say no zo I will give you this
He gets a small board off his backpack

Steve-Danno come
Danny-I'm coming
Danny comes out,he and Kai get Steve up and they get him inside the water,As soon as they get into the water,Eddie comes too.He swims next to Steve and Kai alongside Danny.The small board is under Steve's chest like a surf board but smaller so Steve can touch the water.and he uses his hands to swim.He's so happy that he swims again
Kai-I wanna do some exercises now Commander
Steve-Call me Steve,all my friends do
