A/N: I think Gon mentioned something about how his village was scarce of any boys his age, albeit had one girl, and so Killua was his first true friend.. using that I wrote a little oneshot. I can try continuing it if you guys like it. Gon x Oc is in very low supply, but surprisingly an OC for someone with his personality is no easy feat.

The 12 year old boy, Gon Freecss, much to his word and to all the residents' surprise, caught the master of the swamp. Not only was it a condition his aunt Mito-san had set for him in order to be allowed to take the Hunter exam, but was something only once accomplished before, by his enigmatic Father who he had yet to meet. The copious amount of time and patience Gon paid off as the large fish, unable to have been captured by 5 grown fishermen, emerged out of the swamp.

The occasion brought forth much discussion and commotion in the inner village of Whale island.

"Did you hear the news?"

"The 12 year old boy actually caught the Master of the Swamp, whattta feat!"

"He's definitely Ging's son alright!"

Upon hearing the news, 12 year old Milantia traipsed over to the site, and to her dismay was the Master of the swamp, defeated, set plainly on its back. Moving her eyes upward, she saw the focal point to everyone's surprise, and praises; Gon. He was grinning from ear to ear being patted by one burly fisherman, and scratching his head in embarrassment almost.

"Gon… You are light, instantly the focus of attention, proving everyone wrong… I can't believe you did it."

At first Milantia was stunned, halted in surprise and happiness for Gons great achievement, but then the result of the wager he told her about dawned on her and that emotion slowly turned into despondency.

"Ne Gon.. are you going back up to your fishing post"

Gon pulled the last of his shoelace, tightening his boot as he looked up and smiled "of course! Im soooo close to catching it!"

Milantia let out a long sigh "Its useless you know.. my dad and 4 of his friends couldn't even catch it, and you know they're the strongest fishermen in all of Whale island"

"but you know, its not just about strength, its about waiting for the right moment. Kinda like being a hunter. If I can catch the master of the swamp, then Mito-san promised I can take the hunter exam. Then I can find my dad"

Lifting up his knapsack over and onto his back with a thud, and then securing his fishing pole, he smiled one last time "Time to go on and try for today!"

"…oi.. GON!"

But it was too late, he had ran off eagerly in the direction of the swamp before she was even able to relay anything.

She personally felt bad for neglecting Gon, being the overly-cautious female she was she never was really up to go on any of Gons explorations. She knew he yearned for a friend, with his exceptional social skills and charismatic attitude immediately bringing people around him. She envied his persona, compared to her conservativeness it was quite the contrast, but similarly to how Gon yearned for a boy his age, she wanted a girl. Even though he was not ideal, he still kept her company nonetheless and possessed the light and optimism of a thousand stars. Oh how she was going to miss him terribly.

In the midst of all the commotion, a very overjoyed Gon opened his eyes taking in his surrounds, raising his eyes to acknowledge Milantias presence.

"I told you I would've caught it!" he said as soon as he jogged around to meet her, folding his arms behind his head and rocking on the balls of his feet to and fro.

"..y-yeah, I can see that." She said turning around to face him properly and returning the cheerful smile.

"So that means your leaving to take the exam now?"

"mmm! I leave tomorrow!"

"Gon.." she breathed, "are you sure you want to become a hunter? What about Mito-san?"

Gon made a small pout at the mention of his over bearing, worrisome aunt but then instantly smiled,

"yup! Dad was one too, and the only way I'll know why he wanted to become one so badly is if I take the exam myself. Mito-san has grandma! Anyways I'll be back as soon as I pass it."

Laughing quietly at his proclamation, she looked up at his face and was shocked to see how sure of himself he was. His resolve was absolute, he knew exactly what he wanted to and how to achieve it. Whereas Milantia on the other hand was a glorified-underachiever. He had no fear, his genuine interest would allow him to pass the exam, she was sure of it.

"Oi Gon."

"ya Mila?"

"You're going to become a great hunter. I'm rooting for you."

Gons face was one filled of much confusion, getting over his initial disbelief he said , "Thanks Mila.. I thought you would've said something like 'that's tooo dangerous Gon you idiot' you know like how you usually do."

Milantia let out a louder laugh now, looking over at a still very confused Gon scratching his tilted head, "I already know you won't listen, so I'll just wish you the best."

All confusion drained from Gon's face and was replaced with pure content, "hahahaha, I see.. thanks again Mila" Putting up a big thumbs up doubled with his cheeky smile, he said "Just you wait, I'll be a good hunter! OH I FORGOT—I NEEDA GO PACK! And eat Mito-san's special nutritious meal before I leave, see you at the docks later!"

Waving back, Milantia smiled again. Except this time, she allowed some sadness to seep in fully aware it was only to his back side.

'I never thought you wouldn't be an amazing hunter.'

As the ship carrying Gon and all other Hunter candidates departed, he leaped up, perched over the edge of the boat waving rapidly, all the while declaring future accomplishments.

Milantia smiled waving back solemnly, she didn't know when she would see him again. She was aware of exactly how dangerous the exam was but she had trust in Gon's strong nature skills and handy abilities to get him through it in one piece.

Her whole life she was soft spoken, and only really spoke when she was directly addressed, for her to say something he would actually hear would be so out of character and embarrassing, but the idea of not seeing him again instantly made her forget all worldly fears.

Cupping her hands around her mouth she yelled " GON! BECOME A BETTER HUNTER THAN YOUR DAD AND WHEN YOU FIND HIM KICK HIS BUTT!"

She could hear his laughs depleting in volume as the current picked up and he was whisked away, "I WILL, GOOD BYE EVERYONE."

Blushing Milantia looked around to see all the citizens of whale island gawking at her, for her to yell was out of character, but for her to yell obscenities was beyond comprehension for the townsfolk.

'Gon really rubbed off on her didn't he..' Mito-san thought smiling at the girls retreating back as she hurriedly returned to her home.

'Really is going to be interesting when they meet again, she must be very much influenced by Gon, I've never even heard Milantia speak up in all of the 12 years I've known her.'
