Tris
A Divergent Song Fic set to the tune of Belle from Beauty and the Beast
Tris: Little town, it's a quiet village
Every day, like the one before
Little town, full of little people
Getting up to say
Various Factions: Bonjour! (Repeated 5 times)
Tris: There goes the Dauntless with their pride like always
The same old pride and ego that spreads around
Every time it's just the same
Since the day that we came
To this poor provincial town
Marcus: Morning Tris
Tris: Morning Marcus
Marcus: Where you off to?
Tris: The gardens. I just finished hearing this amazing story about competing for food and hunger and
Marcus: Yeah, whatever. Tori! The croissants move it!
Erudites: Look there she goes, that girl is odd no question
Fretful and whiny cant you tell
Never part of any crowd
'Cause her mouth is always loud
No denying she's a Divergent girl, that Tris
Peter: Hello!
Eric: Good day!
Peter: How goes the hunting?
Natalie: Bon giorno
Caleb: Bon soir
Natalie: How is your wife?
Kristina: I need six legs!
Townsman: That's an incentive
Tris: There must be more than this factionless life
Erudites: Look there she goes, that girl is so unusual
I wonder if she's feeling ill
With a dazed, far-out look
And her eyes glued to a Nook
What a puzzle to the rest of us is Tris
Tris: Oh, isn't this amazing?
It's my favorite part because you'll see…
Here's where she kisses Finnick
But she won't discover that he's gay
Til Book Three
Bernice: Now there's no wonder that her name means Prior
Her status is definitely no parallel
President Snow: But beneath that fair façade,
I believe she's uniquely odd
Very divergent from the rest of us
Chorus: She's divergent from the rest of us
Yes, divergent from the rest of us
Is Tris!
Al: Wow! You didn't miss a shot, Four! You're the best Dauntless in the whole town
Four: I know
Al: No erudite stood a chance against you! You got no girl for that matter
Four: It's true Al. And I got my sights set on that one
Al: who, the lawyer's daughter?
Four: She's the one. A lucky girl, I'm going to marry her
Four: Right from the moment
When I inspected her, saw her
I knew she was odd and then I fell
From as dangerous as she,
Then as opposite as me;
So I'm making plans to
Woo and marry Tris
Divergents: Oh Bernice, she's a shrew
Tyrant Bernice, oh she's so crude
Beat still, my heart
I'm hardly breathing
She's such a tall, mean, snide and stubborn cow!
Tris: There must be more than this factionless life!
Bernice: Just watch, I'm going to stab you with a knife!
Dauntless: Look there she goes, that girl is odd but special
A rare and common savior
It's a beauty and not a sin
She really does fit in
She's a beauty and a Divergent girl
A beauty and a Divergent girl
She really is a Divergent girl
That Tris!
