Sorry if these ever take too long to come out! My friend has got me hooked on the show Fruit Basket.

Sonya
What. The. Hell?
"W-what?" I asked.
Mom shook her head "I… I shouldn't have told you."
"I always have wanted a brother." I muttered. I thought back to my childhood- it was a good one, I had lots of friends, but sometimes I felt lonely, mom and dad were always there, but I needed something else.
She sat down on the bed and put her head in her hands. "Don't make yourself feel guilty. I didn't even know him." Mom choked out the last part and sat on the bed. Feeling guilty, I sat down beside her and hugged her. I usually never see my mother like this, so vulnerable. I've seen it twice. When I was five and when I was eleven, and being the 'great' daughter that I am, I comforted her. I slowly wrapped my arms around her, and brought her close. Her hair tickled my face and I pushed it away and started stroking it. I don't know is she was crying, she wasn't making any sound.
The door slowly creaked open and I saw a tall figure standing at the door.
Dad.
As he took in our little hug fest he rushed towards us "What's wrong?"
I quietly explained what was wrong and he sat down on the bed as well and hugged mom.

Daniel
I took my time getting home last night, I was kind of scared that I would see Anastasia. For a girl who is so kind and caring, she sure did have a temper. I laid in bed for a long time, hearing people chattering, banging's coming from the cook (I'm guessing Johanna was trying to cook, from all the swearing), footsteps lingering by my door. Whenever somebody walked by, I would squeeze my eyes shut-pretending to sleep. I guess you could say I was acting like a coward.
Finally, my bladder felt like it was going to burst, so I bolted it to the bathroom, almost running over Sonya. Before I could lock the bathroom door, she barged in.
"You're ignoring Ana!" Sonya hissed.
Did Anastasia talk about me last night? Before I could ask Sonya said "Don't give me that look. I may have used my persuading powers to get her to talk."
Ah, Sonya and her 'persuading powers', then she continued "You should really talk to him Danny." I stiffened and tried to steer away from the subject "Can you leave." I ask hopping up and down "I may pee on you."
"Don't think you are off the hook yet Daniel. I need to talk to you later." And with that she left the room with a bang.
After I was done, I crept down the stairs and peered cautiously around the corner.
"Hiding from someone?" A voice said behind me and I jumped and spun around. I saw a very amused Finnick, leaning against the pale wall.
"Yea." I confessed.
He pointed to himself. "Me?" I shook my head, and Finnick smiled and lifted an eyebrow. "Well, that's a first."
I was about to walk away but Finnick said quickly "Wait!" I turned back and he started to stutter "Well… do you… do you want to come fishing with me? I mean… you don't have too it you don't want too…"
I nodded "Sure. I'll come."

Me and my dad's fishing tactics were surprisingly the same. We both knew District 4's waters like the back of our hands. Even though Finnick hasn't been here for over fifteen years.
"We should go over behind there." He said pointing towards a hill. That was the place I was going to say we go.
"Sure." I nodded. It felt weird to agree with him.

After many hours of fishing, we came back with buckets full, some of them as long as our arms. He clasped me on the shoulder. "Good job! We're eating good tonight!" He whooped with joy.
This was the first time me and my father weren't fighting.
It was… nice.
We got home a few minutes later. Mom answered the door, her face was shocked "Oh my goodness! Did you guy kill all the fish in the entire ocean?"
"No." I said smiling "We're just naturally skilled at everything."
…
Aww some Finnick and Daniel interaction.
