I realized later that this idea is from the movie "Made of Honor." Personally, I was surprised that the movie really wasn't that good.

Gou(Go, Goh, or Go with carrot) and Makoto finally return to my stories but not as brothers this time! I know that sounds weird: See, I'm okay with seeing them as brothers since I do like Kai/Takao as a couple. Gou and Makoto have been best friends as well in stories with no shonen-ai at all. But I much prefer these two as lovers (obviously their parents aren't together then and one of them is with Rei instead) since I love Rei/Takao (or Takao/Rei) and Kai/Rei much more making Gou and Makoto the next generation's best couple ever.

Before you ask, I'm VERY Anti-Rei/Mao(I hate it with a passion) so I never supported Rin's(Lin, or Ling) existence. Which is why she rarely appears in my stories; if she does, she doesn't end up with anyone except an OC one time. So those that do like her would be happy to know that she will be making an appearance in this story but like hell her father will be Rei! Her mother's still Mao though and most likely, I have her married to Rick if it comes up(come on! Rick/Mao had more chemistry than Rei/Mao! Rin doesn't even look like Rei so no one would notice anyway!).

As for Rei, he may not be mentioned in this story but if he is mentioned, chances are, he'll be with Kai or Takao. Whoever he's with effects what Gou and Makoto look like: their eyes and hair color are different. Plus, they have pointed ears and fangs. But I guess we'll just see.

Those that are complete noobs and don't get what's going on after all that(no offense but you'd think you'd get it by the end of my explanations): Gou's the real son of Kai, Makoto's the real son of Takao (Tyson), and Rin's the daughter of Mao (Mariah). All three look just like their parents except Makoto's bangs come out straight and down instead of up, Gou has 2 triangles total instead of 4 on his cheeks, and Rin has actual pink hair tied into long braided pig-tails(Mao's hair is MAGENTA!). The rest of the next generations are OC's that I've used since I've started writing about the next gen.

I'm using Japanese names. Since their names are not changed very much between the languages, it should be easy to tell who is who for those that only know the dub. And I can FINALLY start this!

Disclaimer: I don't own beyblade! If I did, there would be another season, Mystel and Ming-Ming would appear more, there would be more Kai/Rei hints, and I would throw in some Takao/Ming hints(the best Hollywood beyblade couple! I had to try! Best female beyblader and best male beyblader=an awesome Makoto if they end up together!)

5 years old:

"Makoto, this is my friend Kai and his son, Gou! Be nice to him! In other works: Be his friend, okay? (since he doesn't have any)"

Makoto smiled and waved to the other young boy, Gou.

"Takao I think it's the other way around: Gou, be nice to him. Just because he has less money than you, doesn't mean he's any less worthy of attention," said Kai and both Takao and Makoto gave him a dirty look. Gou only stared at Makoto and then smirked a snobby smirk and that was the first time Makoto wanted to punch someone in the face. That was also the first time Gou enjoyed bullying someone.

8 years old:

Makoto sat there with tears shedding as he tries to defend himself with his tiny and scrawny arms.

"You're such a wimp! Son of the beyblade champion! Yeah right!"

"Weakling!"

"Leave me alone…" Makoto whimpered as curls his body up against the wall with his arms still raised.

"We will…after we-OW! Who did that?!"

Makoto glanced at the ground to see a small pebble land. He then looked between his arms to see Gou tossing a rock up and down with one hand and holding more in another.

"He said to leave him alone…so leave him alone," Gou ordered.

"Oh yeah?!" one of the bullies rolled up his sleeves but another stopped him.

"Dude! Wait! That's Gou Hiwatari! We can't touch him of all people!"

"I don't care if he's a Hiwatari! He's still the same size as the 'great' Kinomiya behind us!"

"Trust me, mess with me and you'll get it," Gou challenge and dropped the rocks to pull out of his beyblade. Makoto at this point crawled closer to the nearby tree and hid behind it, holding himself as tears fell. Unknown to what was going on with the others and unknown on how much time has passed, he was startled and scared when someone touched him; letting out a scream and hitting away the person.

"Makoto…" Gou whispered trying to calm him down. Makoto was breathing heavily as he looked around frantically but only saw Gou on one knee before him, trying to calm him down with his hands.

"Makoto, it's over. They're gone," he said holding onto Makoto's arms. Makoto stared into those deep eyes as he lowered his guard. Tears came back to his already tear-stained face as he jumped to Gou, crying to into him.

That was the first time, Makoto felt he was protected and that was the first time, Gou thought he might have a reason to have a friend.

13 years old:

"Gou, can I copy your homework?" Makoto asked,

"Again?"

"Yeah…"

Gou puts his pencil down and pulled Makoto down to sit next to him.

"How about I tutor you instead?" Gou offered and Makoto's eyes shone,

"Really?! You'll help me?!"

"Yeah…what you got?"

"A lot…but thanks Gou, you're my best friend!"

"Hn…"

And that was the first time Makoto declared themselves as official best friends. That was also the first time

Gou didn't argue back on such a decision.

17 years old:

"And class 2-B takes the win thanks to Makoto Kinomiya's finish!"

"Yeah!" Makoto jumped up to cheer and his classmates were surprised that he still has energy after that race!

"The scavenger hunt is next! Everyone! Get ready!"

"Let's go, Mark! You can do it!" Makoto shouted to his blonde friend and classmate who gave him a thumbs up. Makoto then noticed someone else in the scavenger hunt.

"Hey! Good luck Gou!" Makoto shouted and Gou only nodded. The scavenger began and everyone ran towards the table to get their item. People started to laugh as everyone started to run around, confused, and trying to find their item. Makoto was one of them, laughing hysterically until he felt someone touch his arm. He looked to see Gou who started pulling him along until they crossed the finish line.

"Hey Gou…why me? What was it that you had to get?" Makoto asked after Gou won the Scavenger Hunt.

"…Nothing…" Gou replied and Makoto sighed,

"Why do you never tell me these things?"

"Hn…"

"Well…congrats on your win!" said Makoto almost slamming his hand onto his friend's shoulder.

"Thanks…" Gou muttered.

"Come on, Gou, let's get some water…for me!" said Makoto with a laugh and puts his arm around Gou's shoulder and they walked off together.

That was the first time Gou didn't handle Makoto so roughly whenever they touched. That was also the first time Gou touched someone so gently.

Present day:

"Makoto! Hey!"

Makoto lightly groaned as his hands blindly hits everything around him, trying to hit an alarm clock.

"MAKOTO!"

"Whoa!" Makoto fell out of bed and sat up, "Someone calling me?" he asked groggily.

"YES! Your college roommate! Come on! Get up! You promised me you'd clean the room today!"

"Uh huh…what time is it?" Makoto asked climbing back onto the bed and looking for the clock.

"11!"

"Oh…" Makoto's head dropped onto the pillow, "Fine…I'm getting up…"

"Finally…oh, and Gou called earlier and wants you to meet him at that café you guys go to today at 3, okay?"

"Yes Mark…" said Makoto as he crawls out of bed. The blonde young man hits the bed and left the room, letting Makoto take his time. Makoto finally got himself to the bathroom and he sighed,

"College sucks…" he muttered as he finds parts of his many projects in the bathroom.

3:00:

"Wait, why did you have to clean your dorm again?" Gou asked as the two of them sat across the table in their favorite café.

"Well…remember the first time I got drunk?"

"Who could forget…" said Gou taking a sip from his hot chocolate.

"Yeah…remember that it was in my dorm? While Mark was visiting his parents? Well a few things got stolen, a few things got broken, some of them were personal and Mark's been mad at me since he got back a couple of weeks ago so I promised I'd clean the dorm whenever it gets messed up…and it always does. I also will be doing all the chores and gotta pay him back for the personal items…"

"Being the son of Mizuhara-San, I didn't see Mark as the type to hold a grudge…" said Gou and Makoto shrugged.

"I can see where he's coming from and I felt bad…so…hey! Why didn't you stop me from doing something stupid when I got drunk?!"

"I'm the one that told you not to drink and what did you do? You drank one glass and you were out of this world," said Gou shaking his head.

"Okay! So I know I don't have a high alcohol tolerance! You could've locked me in my room or something!"

Gou only shrugged,

"You were actually really entertaining so I didn't want to stop the fun," said Gou with an amused look.

"Some friend you are!" Makoto growled and crossed his arms.

"Uh huh…yeah you won't last a week without me," said Gou with a smirk and Makoto pouted.

"Oh wait…have we ever been apart for more than a week?" Gou asked and Makoto thought about it.

"Yeah, you go on vacations!"

"No…I bring you with me," Gou reminded.

"Oh yeah um…then maybe not…"

"But…we might have to," said Gou and Makoto's mouth drops,

"What do you mean?!"

"Next week…I'm going over to America for a little bit…I may be studying abroad…" Gou explained and silent fell between the two friends.

"Are you serious?" Makoto asked with wide eyes.

"Do I ever joke?" Gou reminded.

"…But Gou! What am I going to do without you!?" Makoto exclaimed.

"Makoto! You're in college! And I'm not your mother! You'll be fine without me!"

"Gou! You're my best friend! I do everything with you! And I tell you everything! Almost!"

"I know, but there's the phone and e-mail," Gou pointed out trying to calm Makoto down a bit.

"I can't hang out with you over the computer!"

"Please stop whining…" Gou almost begged, and Makoto pouted again, looking away.

"…How long will you be gone?" Makoto asked sadly,

"No longer than a month for sure but more than a week for sure," Gou replied and Makoto nodded.

"Okay…"

"Hey…" Gou reached across the table to put a hand on his friend's shoulder, "Don't give me that look. You said you'd never look like a baby again since that incident in junior high," said Gou and Makoto gave Gou a dirty look.

"That was one time…let it go already!"

"Hn…" Gou smirked and sat upright in his seat again, "Think you'll be okay?"

"Yeah…I have to I guess…there is Mark after all. I can hang out with him…if he wasn't still upset with me…" Makoto sighed but puts on a smile, "I'll be okay! Wish you luck, Gou! Bring me something from America!"

Gou lightly chuckled,

"Alright, I'll promise you that much," he said and the two did a rhyming pinky-swear to complete their promise…as they've always done since they were little.

What Gou didn't realize was that when he comes back from his trip from America…everything is going to change for him.

Please R and R!

Would've been longer but I'm trying to break my habit of very long chapter and stick to short chapters that are straight to the point.

Notes:

-I can't remember the episode and I'm not going through all my DVDs to find it! The pinky-swear was from Cardcaptor Sakura in one scene when she and Shaoran did some kind of rhyming pinky-swear. It was really cute but I obviously don't remember it from the top of my head and again, I'm not gonna search for it! If I come across it, I'll put it in.

-My first Gou Hiwatari was the total opposite of Kai. But every story since that series, I've made Gou more like Kai. I think it turns out better that way but he's still slightly different each story while Makoto remains relatively the same in every story. Well…Gou's been the same for a while now so maybe I'm not changing him much anymore.

-In the flashback when they were 17-years old, it was a Sports Fest.

-Mark is the son of Max for those that didn't catch it.

Please R and R!
