Chapter 7 of Other World.
I embarrass the heck out of Gou in this one.
AND YES I AM DRAWING OUT THE MAIN FACT OF THIS STORY WHICH I WILL NOT SPECIFY BUT YOU PROBABLY ALREADY KNOW.
Enjoy!
As the adult Kai soaked in the fact that it was almost the WORST DAY OF HIS LIFE, he also took in the fact that his wife was not present.
"Lai," he said, "where's your mother?"
"I dunno." Lai said. "But I know she's hiding."
"Well, we're going to have to find her." Kai said. "We have to face the music sooner or later."
"Then I pick later!" Mrs. Hiwatari cried, pulling the adult Kai into the floor through a hidden doorway.
"Cool! A secret tunnel!" Kairo exclaimed, jumping into the secret entrance. "C'mon, guys!"
As the other Hiwatari children entered the secret passage single file, the large group of both present and future beybladers began to force their way through the door.
"How did you know about this secret tunnel, Momma?" Lai asked.
"Because I'm the one that designed Dragoon's house, remember?" Mrs. Hiwatari said. "I put in these tunnels for this purpose. When we have a big gathering like this, the halls sometimes get crowded, so I need an easier way to get from room to room."
"Ah, smart." Raimon nodded. "Just like Momma."
"Well, what's the plan?" Kailin asked. "Your past forms want answers, and you know that this is a touchy subject. There's bound to be a lot of freaking out, that's all I can say."
"Seeing the reactions from before," Gou said, "I'm sure it's going to be much worse than that."
"So what're we gonna do, Momma?" Lai asked.
"Okay. I have a plan." Mrs. Hiwatari said, gathering them in a huddle. "But we'll need to move fast so it'll work. Lai, do you think you can keep them distracted?"
"Sure!" Lai beamed. "I'll do my ribbon and monkey routine!"
"Alright, then here's what we're gonna do." And Mrs. Hiwatari explained her plan to make explaining the future of Kai and Ray at least a little bit easier.
[Meanwhile]
"They weren't in that room, so where could they've gone?" Kenny asked.
"They wouldn't leave." The adult Emily said. "Ray still has to serve the banquet."
"Hey guys!" a sunny voice exclaimed.
Most of the group was able to see the source of the voice, and see that it was little Lai waving a ribbon above her head and hopping like a bunny.
"Can't catch me!" she giggled, and ran into the nearest room.
With the idea that she would lead them right to her parents, the group ran to the room and surprisingly found it completely empty. When the group heard her voice again, she had appeared back in the hallway like magic, when, in reality, Lai was using the secret passageways to keep them from catching her while the rest of her family was working setting up the banquet, unbeknownst to the rest of the party.
This routine continued on for about half an hour, with Lai continually evading the group's capture, no matter what they tried. Eventually, Kailin signaled Lai to head to the banquet room since they were finished and ready.
Lai, still bouncing with her limitless energy, skipped happily through the hall and bounced on a few heads to grab the group's attention and lead them to the banquet room.
When the group made it to the banquet room, they were surprised to see it set out and everything, everyone having their own designated seats. A sign was placed on the wall the tables were facing.
"Please take your seats. We shall begin shortly." It read.
"What will begin?" everyone asked, but took their seats anyway.
Meanwhile, above them, the Hiwatari family was preparing a little presentation. They lowered a projector through the ceiling and removed the sign. Kairo smirked evilly as he slipped a DVD into the slot and it began to play on the projector.
The large party watched with wonder as the projector began to play something. Ones wonder turned to sheer embarrassment and horror as the DVD of EMILY AND MICHAEL'S WEDDING began to play.
In order to keep his mother, and her past form, from destroying the entire house, Jonathan escorted both Emilys outside while everyone watched the movie.
When the DVD finished after the reception, the projector went into standby mode as another sign was lowered down.
"Any requests?" it read.
"Oh! Oh! I do! I do!" a woman's voice sang out from the doorway. All heads turned to find a beautiful dark haired woman standing before them.
"M-Mrs. Kon!" the adult Hilary exclaimed.
"Wait! Kon?" the younger ones exclaimed.
"Mom?" Ray exclaimed.
"Oh! Who would've thought everyone would be here today!" Ray's mother smiled, sitting next to the younger Ray and hugging him.
"I thought you weren't coming today!" the adult Mariah exclaimed.
"Are you kidding?" Mrs. Kon replied. "I always come! But somebody didn't bother to tell me!"
"Well, I'm sorry!" another voice came from the ceiling. "I asked you and you said you were going to be busy today!"
"You should know I clear everything from my schedule when it comes to this!" she yelled at the ceiling. "But I'm willing to forgive your little mistake, Ray dear, by playing my request!"
"And just what is your request?" Ray's voice asked.
"The Gou Show of course!" Mrs. Kon squealed.
Thuds and shouts were heard immediately after as Kairo tried to grab the DVD before Gou could grab it himself. The last thing Gou wanted to do was show that.
"Oh, c'mon, Gou dear!" Mrs. Kon said. "You were absolutely precious!"
"NO! NEVER! ANYTHING BUT THAT!" Gou exclaimed, chasing after Kairo, who had the DVD in hand.
"Rai! Catch! Put it in!" Kairo threw the DVD to his brother, who put in the slot and pressed play.
"TAKE THAT OUT RIGHT NOW!" Gou leapt for the DVD player.
"Lai! Pin him down!" Kairo tossed Lai at Gou.
"Wheeee!" BOOM. And Gou was flattened.
As Gou lie there, powerless to stop them, mourning the coming loss of his dignity, "the Gou Show" began.
Mrs. Kon was the one recording the video, so her voice was heard.
"Where are you Gou? Come out, come out, wherever you are." She was looking for Gou, who at that time was four years old.*
When she went into the study, she found a fort of chairs and blankets. She knocked on one of the chairs.
"Knock, knock. Anyone home?" she asked.
"Shh! Don't give away the location of my secret lair!" Gou's little voice came from the fort.
"And why do you need a secret lair?" Mrs. Kon asked.
"Because I'm!" and Gou jumped out of his lair wearing a bra on his head and a towel around his neck like a cape. "I'M FLYMAN!"
Mrs. Kon broke down laughing, leaning on the desk to keep herself up and recording.
"Wh-Where'd you get that?" Mrs. Kon laughed, pointing at the bra on Gou's little head.
"I found it." Gou answered innocently.
"Where?" Mrs. Kon asked.
Little Gou rocked back and forth on his heels, knowing he did something he wasn't supposed to.
"Mommy and Daddy's room...?" he said quietly.
"Gou, you know you're not allowed in Mommy and Daddy's room." Mrs. Kon said.
"But the door was wide open!" Gou said in his defense.
Mrs. Kon stifled a laugh. "Kai you're dead now. Oh Ra~y. Take a look at your little Gou."
"What's wrong with Gou?" Ray peeked his head in. "Oh. My. God. Gou. Where did you get that?"
"I AM NOT GOU! I AM FLYMAN!" Gou cried. "AWAY I FLY!"
And Gou made his escape by going through the window into the garden. He ran around in circles all over the yard.
"My guess is that Kai forgot to close the door when he left for work." Mrs. Kon said.
"How do you figure that?" Ray asked.
"Because Gou said he found your bedroom door wide open." Mrs. Kon replied. She knew what the result would be when Kai got home.
"Coincidentally", Mrs. Kon noticed that Kai's car was pulling into the driveway. Gou saw this too, and ran over to greet him.
"Daddy! I'm Fly man!" he giggled.
Kai was shocked to see what his son was wearing on his little head.
"Where did you-," he started, "oh god."
Kai ran inside, panicked, and Mrs. Kon made her way outside, to join little Gou.
"Is Daddy in trouble?" he asked.
"Yes, Daddy's in trouble." Mrs. Kon said. "But it's nothing you need to worry about, okay Gou? Now how 'bout some ice cream?"
"Yay!" Gou smiled, taking off his costume. "Ice cream for Gou!"
FIN.
^U^
I planned that scene forever.
Gou: "Daddy I'm Flyman!"
Kai: O0O
