Hey I know I haven't updated in a REALLY long time, but that's because I started another fanfic. It's a Prory and I love it so much. Maybe you could read and review it! Anyway I know the title says "Nap Time" but I'm changing it soon, so don't be alarmed.
Lily's Point of View
Today, daddy says I'm going to see my cousin. He's older than me but Uncle Haymitch says he loves to play with dollies. Then mommy started laughing when he said that... However I have brought all of my dollies with me and put them in a backpack. I had to wake up EXTRA early this morning. A whole fifteen minutes earlier than I do for school! So right now, I'm kind of tired. Me, daddy, mommy, my brother inside of mommy, and Uncle Haymitch are on the train to District Four. That's where my cousin lives. I've never seen my cousin before. All I know is that I have an Aunt Annie and him.
I sit in Uncle Haymitch's lap because it's more comfortable here, than on the seats. And besides mommy and daddy are sleeping, shoulder to shoulder. Maybe I could play a game with my Uncle. Daddy always says he's really good at them.
"Hey! Can you play a game wit me?" I ask, those stupid letters won't come out right! UHH!
"What game, you little bundle of annoying?" he says.
"What does dat mean? Anyways dis game! See daddy always play it wit me. You take da dough and make people out of dem! But please don't tell daddy I brought his bakery dough wit me." I say with hope.
"Ohhh! I'm tellingggg!" he says.
"No! No please don't tell" I begin begging. I feel tears stream down my face and hold my hands together up to my chest.
"Okay I won't tell! I thought kids only cried when they had a poop in their pants!" he says. I laugh like crazy! Poop is a funny word! Mommy says not say poop in public, but he did!
"Shhhh! You can't say poop on da train! It's a bad word!" I whisper to him. Who knows what could happen if he said it any louder!
"POOPY POOP!" he yells. Everybody looks up at us.
"Get in da corner Mister! I told you not to say it. And you did! So you get a timeout for da rest of da ride!" I scold him.
"But.. but please don't gvie me a timeout." he begs.
"No buts! Dat's what happens when you are a bad boy." I say.
So I take his hand and guide him over to the side of the seats where no body is sitting. Then I sit him down gently. I make sure he has his seat belt on because you could get a boo-boo if you don't wear it. He needs to know he's being punished so I decide to tell daddy for good measure. I walk over to him and shake his shoulders back and forth. He eventually wakes up.
"Hey Lily. What are you doing? I thought you wanted to sit with Uncle Haymitch." he asks sleepily.
"Not anymore. He's been a bad boy. So I put him in timeout." I say pointing to him, crying in the corner.
"Well what did he do?" he asks in astonishment. I grab his knees and pull myself up so I can sit on his lap.
"Hey said a word I can't say dis loud, so I'll spell it out for you. P-O-O-P-E! He said poop!" I whisper in his ear.
"WHAT! He said that!" he questions.
"Yes! But good ding I handled everyding okay." I mention.
"Good girl. Maybe when we get home we can make dough people." he says happily. Does he know that I have all the dough with me right now!? No he mustn't because there's no way Uncle could have told him. I just shake my head in return. I'm tired so I take a nap on his shoulder, for the rest of the way.
An hour later of Haymitch in timeout and Lily and Katniss sleeping on Peeta's shoulder. They finally arrive at Aunt Annie and Finn's front door...
"Oh my goodness! It's the Mellarks!" someone says. I think its my Aunt but I'm not sure. I stand underneath mommy's legs because I don't like strangers.
"Hey Annie!" Daddy says.
"Nice to see you again Annie." my uncle says.
"And who is this cutie?" she says as she looks at me.
"This is Lily, our daughter." Mommy says. She plays with my hair and puts me on her hip.
"Hello, baby girl." she says.
"Hi..." I say quietly.
"How old are you?" she asks me. Wow! I know how old I am this is easy.
"Dree." I say and hold up three fingers.
"She has a little trouble with her "th's"." daddy says.
"Well I am your Aunt Annie. Aww! She is so cute. Look at that beautiful curly hair, and her eyes are like little stars." she cooes.
"Hi Aunt Annie." I try. Annie reaches over and gives me one of the tightest hugs I've ever felt!
"Come inside, Finn is dying to me you all." she says. She grabs my hand and helps me up the stairs. I hold it and make it inside their house. Then she grabs my bottom and carries me the rest of the way. Their house is smaller than mine but I like it. It has light curtains, a small tv, and everything else a house should have.
Then a gigantic man comes down here from the upstairs. I think he's going to eat me! He's so tall and strong looking. Mommy walks over to him and gives him a hug. OH NO! HE ALREADY ATE HER!
"Lily, this is your cousin, Finn" Aunt says pointing to him.
"Hello Lily!" he says kindly.
"Are you going to eat me?" I ask timidly.
"Well I am hungry for little girls!" he screams. I quickly slide down my Aunt's grasp and run to daddy. Next, I find his legs and hold his ankles. I crouch down low so he can't find me.
"Oh Lily! He's not going to eat you. He's just kidding!" daddy says. He picks me up and holds me like Aunt did, moments ago.
"I would never eat anybody. My name is Finn though." he says and walks over to me.
"You promise?" I ask.
"Why yes. In fact I pinkie-promise!" he says and holds out his pinkie for me. How did he know I use pinkie promises? I wrap my finger around his and he takes me away from daddy. I feel relieved already. He puts me on the ground then holds my hand.
"Why don't you and Finn go upstairs and play with your dollies. I bet he has some too." Mommy says to me. Uncle Haymitch laughs loudly.
"Oh yes! I have a bunch of dollies." he says gladly.
"Okay." I say to them.
"Come on Lily, you can show me all your dollies and play whatever games you want!" he says.
"We can?!" I ask happily.
"Yup!" he says.
We get to the stairs and I have to raise my feet as high as they can go. Finn has no problem with the stairs though. His hand pulls me up so I don't fall down the stairs backward. I hope one day, my legs are going to be as long as his. But not as hairy though.
Once we get upstairs he shows me his room. It's huge! There's a bed and a desk, lots of books, the walls are light green and the carpet is tan. The ceiling is so high, I don't even think Uncle Haymitch can touch it!
"This is my room." he says and points to everything.
"It's so big." I say mesmerized.
"Come here" he says as he sits on the floor in front of his bed. I sit crossed-legged next to him and open my backpack.
"How old are you?" I ask him.
"I am eighteen" he tells me. Woah! That's like all of my fingers and more!
"I'm only dree." I say.
"May I ask you a question?" he says.
"Yes"
"What's in your backpack?" he questions
"Oh! All of my toys! I brought my dollies, a pillow, my favorite blanket... dat you cannot touch." I warn him
"Yes ma'am!" he smiles.
"My board games, four coloring books, some crayons, and... dough." I say super quietly.
"Why do you have dough?" he asks looking worried.
"Shhhhh! You can't tell my daddy dat I brought his bakery dough wit me. I'm not supposed to but I like to make people out of it." I whisper.
"I promise not to tell." he says seriously.
"Here, I'm going to show you all of my dollies." I say spreading all of them around us.
"Good! I always wanted to meet your dollies." he says brightly.
"Dis one is Eden. She likes chocolate chip cookies, broccoli and hates milk, but I'm getting her to drink some."
"Hello Eden!" he says and inspects every inch of her. I pick up the next doll.
"Dat's umm... I don't know, I didn't name her... but my daddy always plays wit dis one. He never uses any of the odder ones." It's the one with dark hair, gray eyes, a dark green shirt, brown pants and black boots.
"I think she's very pretty. She looks a little like you." he says. My face turns red. It feels so warm and I can't stop it. My mouth rises up to a smile. Finn smiles back at me. But speaking of daddy, I've never seen his daddy yet. Where is he?
"Finn?" I ask.
"Yes, Lily" he says
"Where's your daddy? You met mine, but I haven't met yours." I ask curiously.
"Oh... um... he's not here right now." his smile is gone and he looks like he's about to cry.
"Well den where is he?" I say. He points to the ceiling and puts his heavy arm around one of my shoulders. I'm standing now and he's still sitting on the floor. We're both facing the ceiling, heads turned up.
"My dad's up there. Even though we can't see him, he's always watching me. He's watching everyone. I never met him either but my mom says that if I look hard enough I can see him. And that if I believe I can talk to him. I've been told that I look exactly like him and sound like him too. But he's not here right now because he did something very important for our country." he says.
"Ohh, I'm sorry." I say flatly.
I can see tears coming from his green eyes. Grandma always told me to hug someone if they need it because its nice. Finn looks like he needs a hug right now. So I turn toward him and wrap my arms around his head. He smells like the ocean and he's very warm. Then he puts his arms around my waist returning the hug. I tuck my head near his ear and squeeze. Moments later he lets go of me and puts his hands on both of my shoulders.
"Thank you. You're a very kind girl." he says looking into my eyes.
"Grandma says it's nice to give hugs." I tell him.
"Well then... what do you want to do?" he asks
"Can we play mutt Princess?" I ask
"Sure. What's mutt Princess?" he says.
"It's when I'm de Princess and you're de evil mutt trying to take me away." I say with a smile
"What do I have to do?" he wants to know.
"Here is your costume and here is mine." I say handing him the green, black, brown, gray blob of fabric that means he's the monster. He slips it over his head just like daddy does. I put on my pink head dress and grab my wand.
"Now you just have to scream and chase me around the room." I say
"ROARRRRR! ROOOOAAR!" he yells.
"AHHH AHHHHHHHHHH AAAAAAHH!" I scream running.
After hours of screaming and running we're all tired out. We colored some pictures, played dress up. We even had a real tea-party, because Aunt Annie let us use real silver ware! I'm on my pillow and special blanket that no one can touch. Finn's right next to me holding the dollie he played with. He made me a picture of himself so that I'll never forget what he looks like. I drew him a picture of me for the same reason. He hung it up on the wall right next to his pillow, so he can look at it just before he falls asleep.
An hour later of napping next to Finn, I hear someone come into the room. It shakes my shoulders and stares right at me when I open my eyes.
"Hey Lily. It's time to go home now. Mommy can't stay here with your brother inside of me." she whispers.
"Okay..." I say. But I don't want to go home! I want to stay here forever and play more games with Finn!
"Finn, we have to go now." my mom says to him
"Oh you do?" he says sadly.
"I don't want to go home! I want to stay here wit Finn. He likes playing games wit me and I have lots of fun." I say. He stands up and holds me like daddy always does. I put my head in his neck so I don't have to let everyone see me cry.
"Hey... it's okay... I'll come visit you" he says to me.
"You will?" I ask drying up my tears
"I pinkie promise" he says holding out his pinkie again. I wrap mine around his making another pinkie promise for the day.
"Bye." I say. I wrap my arms around his head again and squeeze extra hard. I don't let go until we're outside right in front of their house. Daddy grabs me off Finn and I fall asleep again.
On the train back home to District Twelve...
"Daddy?" I ask looking up at him.
"Yes"
"Finn plays mutt Princess wit me better dan you"
