Candor or Dauntless
NO WAR. People still do not know about Fourtris, but they are together. Only Christina and Zeke know. Anyways, there was no war so everybody is still alive and well (except Al, cause he killed himself before the war) and they get together to play Candor or Dauntless (the Divergent version of Truth or Dare). So the people playing will be: Tris, Four (Tobias), Christina, Will, Zeke, Shauna, Uriah, Marlene, Lynn, Eric, Lauren, and Peter. And maybe a few guests in the midst of everything. But only for a short period of time. Enjoy!

Tris POV-
I hear a knock at the door, and I groan. I know it's Christina. She insisted on taking me shopping for Zeke's party tonight. I would rather hang over the Chasm, but she blackmailed me into it. I open the door, and Christina just stands there with her credit card. I roll my eyes, but Christina just grins. There is a hungry gleam in her eyes and her smile is mischievous. I start to get nervous. "Why are you looking at me like that?" I ask her, my voice on edge. She just laughs and grabs my wrist, dragging me to the shopping complex. Three and a half hours and thirteen stores later, I hold nine bags stuffed to the breaking point with clothes, shoes, and makeup. "Why on earth do I need all this stuff for one party?" I ask. She scoffs, as if it should be obvious. "We're going to a party at Zeke's!" She exclaims. I just stare at her blankly, urging her to go on. "That means Candor or Dauntless!" She sighs. "Oh, I've heard of that. I don't know what is is though," I say sheepishly. "But why does that mean I need a bajillion different outfits?" I am confused. "Sorry. I forgot you were Abnegation. In Candor or Dauntless, you have to choose either Candor or Dauntless." Well, that seems obvious, I think to myself. Christina continues, "If you pick Candor, you have to answer a question truthfully. If you pick Dauntless, you have to do a dare. If you don't want to answer the question or do the dare, you have to remove a piece of clothing. And it can't be a sock or a shoe. So you need layers." I nod in understanding. Then I think of something. "How do you know we'll play Candor or Dauntless? You've never been to one of Zeke's parties before." I raise my eyebrows at her. "Uriah told me," she says, matching my expression. "Okay, time for the most important store!" She adds, dragging me again.

"No way." I shake my head. "Nuh uh. Not happening. I will not. I refuse." Christina and I stand in front of a lingerie store. "If you have to take off all of your other clothes, you want your undergarments to look nice." She points out. "I don't care. There is no way I'm going in there." I tell her. "If not for everyone else, you have to do it for Four." I groan. I never should have told her about me and Tobias. She continues, "You have to look good for your new boyfriend." I sigh, and she just giggles. We enter the store, and 20 minutes later, Christina is satisfied with a thoroughly embarrassed friend with four lacy black/blue/red bras and matching panties, and some of her own. We walk back to our new apartment, and she calls a bunch of our friends. She puts down her phone. "Shauna, Lynn, Marlene, and Lauren will be here shortly. They will also be getting ready with us." Great. More people to see how embarrassed I can get before I explode. Christina and I are trying stuff on to see what looks good when the others walk in. They all have bags, though Lynn looks even madder than I am about this. Christina squeals in delight, and an hour later, everyone else is dressed and helping me pick what to wear. "Well?" I ask, emerging from the bathroom. Shauna and Chris put their heads together and whisper for a minute. Shauna lifts her head and announces, "We love it! It's perfect!" I am wearing a pair of leggings underneath a short, flowy black skirt with a cami and a crop top and a short leather jacket. Plus black wedges and the "undergarments" Chris made me buy. I smile in relief, grateful to be done. Christina looks at me. "Let us see what's underneath." I give her a No way! look, but she holds up four fingers. I glare at her and show them my bra. It is black pushup with dark blue lace. "Happy? My underwear matches." Chris smiles and they all nod. "Makeup time!" Lauren shouts. Ugh. Will this ever be over?
PAGYBREAKY
I look at the clock on the wall as Christina's fingers move swiftly through my hair, making it lok however she thinks will look good. 6:45. Zeke's party starts at seven. "All done!" Chris exclaims, and I whirl around to look in the mirror. I blink a few times, because I'm pretty sure there is no way the girl in the mirror is me. Yet, she moves when I move, and we have similar features. "Whoa…" I breathe. My hair cascades over my shoulders and down my back in luscious blond waves. There is makeup all over my face, outlining my best features, and making my worse ones melt away. I stand up. I am about five inches taller with the heels. "No wonder you chose to work in the salon and be a fashion consultant." I say to Christina, completely awestruck. "Hey, I'm also going to train the Dauntless-born initiates. Don't forget." She winks at me. I give er a quick hug and thank her. Then the six of us leave for the party.
When we walk into Zeke's apartment, all the guys are already there, and I can smell alcohol. Tobias stares at me, gaping. I glare at him and he gets it. Only Chris and Zeke know about us right now, because we only told our best friends. "I saw that," Christina sings in my ear. I elbow her in the stomach. We all sit down, and for a moment, nobody talks. Then, in unison, Zeke and Uriah scream at the top of their lungs, "CANDOR OR DAUNTLESS!" Chris looks at me pointedly. I stick my tongue out her. In all the screaming chaos, Tobias catches my eye and winks at me. I smile to myself. Uriah spins around in a circle, and his eyes land on Zeke. "Candor or Dauntless, brother?" "Like you even have to ask!" "Okay, I dare you to drink a bottle of hot sauce." Zeke looks at me. "Nothing I haven't done before." He grins. I roll my eyes. Uriah comes back from the kitchen with a bottle of habanero hot sauce. Zeke starts to chug. His face gets really red, and ¾ of the way through, his bloodshot eyes start to bug out of his head. People start to laugh, and I join them. I see why people like this game, and I can definitely see why Abnegation doesn't like it. Zeke puts the empty bottle down, and then drinks four glasses of milk. When he can breathe again, he points to me. "Candor or Dauntless, Tris?" I consider this. "Ummmm… Dauntless." I say. Then Zeke grins. He looks from Tobias to me a few times. Oh no. "I dare you to sit in Four's lap for the rest of the game." He says, wiggling his eyebrows. I shrug, and walk over to Tobias and sit in his lap. I fight off the strong urge to smile. Christina and Zeke wink at us, but no one catches it. "Okay….. Peter! Candor or Dauntless?" I ask. "Candor." He says without hesitation. "Pansycake!" I really have to learn how to block out Uriah. "Who is your crush?" I ask him. He mumbles something, and Christina's eyes go wide. "Sorry, didn't catch that." I say, teasing him. "I like this girl named Haley. She's still Candor." I nod. That's why Christina looked weird. She must know her. "Marlene, Candor or-" Peter is cut off. "DAUNTLESS!" she yells. Peter looks taken aback. Then Shauna whispers something in his ear, and an evil grin creeps across his face. "I dare you to dress up like a unicorn, and run around the Pit scream-singing the Pink Fluffy Unicorn song." He wears a smug expression. Marlene says nothing, so Uriah jumps up and runs into one of the rooms. He comes out holding a pink fluffy unicorn costume. I am about to ask, but Chris beats me to it, "Where did you get that costume?" she asks incredulously. Uriah frowns at her. "In the closet." Chris and I exchange looks and agree on Weird family. Marlene emerges from the bathroom in the costume, a smile on her face. "Let's do this!" she says. I try to suppress a giggle, but it comes out a little bit. We follow her out to the Pit. She starts skipping and singing her heart out:
PINK FLUFFY UNICORNS DANCING ON RAINBOWS (7X)
NOW LETS TEST YOUR KNOWLEDGE AND SEE WHAT YOU'VE LEARNED SO FAR!
WHAT COLOR ARE THE UNICORNS?
We answer with her: PINK!
WHERE ARE THEY DANCING?
We are all laughing hysterically: RAINBOWS!
USE ONE WORD TO DESCRIBE THE TEXTURE OF THEIR MAGICAL FUR!
At this point, I am wheezing: SMILES!
PINK FLUFFY UNICORNS DANCING ON RAINBOWS (7X)
PINK FLUFFY UNICORNS DANCING ON DANCING ON RAIN!
We run back to Zeke and Uriah's cracking up. I see people on their phones. Obviously, this had been recorded. I suspect it will have a million hits within an hour.
Marlene is still cheery. We sit back down, with me on Tobias's lap. Marlene taps her chin, and her eyes land on me. "Tris, Candor or Dauntless?" "Candor," I reply. "Pansycake!" I glare at Uriah and he shuts up. "Who was your first crush?" My heart starts racing, because it was Four, and I don't want to admit it. Then an idea pops into my head. "I liked this guy, Tobias Eaton. He was Abnegation." I smile. Christina looks at me funny, because I told her Four was my first crush. And she can tell I'm not lying. I feel Tobias gently squeeze my side without anyone noticing. Zeke and Chris look at each other, then at me and Tobias. I look right at Chris and say, "You know the question." "Dauntless." She replies. I scratch my chin in thought, then say, "Go up to the first guy you see in the hallway, kiss him, and ask him to marry you with a ring pop." Zeke goes to get a ring pop. He hands it to her, and me, Christina, Uriah, and Will go out into the hallway. Eric walks by. I shake with silent laughter. Chris runs up to him, kisses him and gets down on one knee. Eric just stares at her in shock. She pulls the ring pop from the wrapper and says, "Eric Whateveryourlastnameis, will you make me the happiest girl on the planet and let me be Mrs. Whateveryourlastnameis?" She gives him the puppy dog face. Then I can't hold it in anymore, and neither can Uriah and Will. We start cracking up, and Eric glances over at us. He starts to look less shocked and confused. "Candor or Dauntless?" He asks, and I just nod, rolling on the floor laughing. He grabs the ring pop from Christina and licks it. Then she breaks down too. Will is the first one to stop laughing. "Wanna play?" He nods to Eric. He shrugs, "Why not?"
We enter the room again, laughing uncontrollably, and Eric follows. Everybody looks confused, and some are glaring at Eric. As I sit back down on Tobias's lap, he asks me, "Why is he here?" We explain what happened in the hallway, and minutes later, even Tobias is laughing. And everyone has decided that this is just a good chance to mess with Eric. Then we explain what's happened so far in the game to Eric, so he's caught up. Chris sits up straight and asks, "Four, Candor or Dauntless?" "Candor," he says, surprising me. Uriah says nothing. Smart boy. "What's your real name?" Christina asks. I get up and Tobias pulls his shirt off. Then I sit back down. "Well, could've predicted that one." Chris says. "Well then why did you ask?" Tobias asks her. "There's a small chance you could have told." She retorts. Whatever. I'm just glad he's shirtless. Tobias looks around. "Shauna, Candor or Dauntless?" he asks. "Dauntless." Tobias grins. "I dare you to let Zeke give you a blindfolded makeover." Shauna considers this. Then she pulls off her skirt, leaving her leggings, shirt, and undergarments. "I probably wouldn't let Zeke give me a makeover even if he could see. If he couldn't, he'd just keep poking me in the eye." She explains. Most of us nod in agreement. "Eric. Pick." She says. Eric looks up, "Dauntless." "You have to let Christina dye your hair and paint your nails bright pink." "Permanent or temporary dye?" He asks Shauna. "Christina's choice," she says, nodding to Chris. Christina smiles evilly. Eric pulls his sweatshirt off. "Will!" He snaps, "Candor or Dauntless." "Candor," Will decides. "PANSYCAKE!" "It's not coming back!" Lynn groans at Uriah. "What's your most embarrassing fear?" Will blushes and says, "Fairies." Everyone starts laughing, and Will just grows redder. Through laughter, Uriah says, "No, THAT'S what makes you a pansycake!" We all groan. "It's not coming back, bro." Zeke says to him. Will just says, "Lynn." "Dauntless. Duh." she replies. Marlene gets an evil glint in her eyes and whispers in Will's ear. Will shrugs, "Okay. Lynn, you have to let all the girls give you and extreme makeover and keep it like that for the rest of the night." Lynn groans, but agrees. 25 minutes later, we come back from our apartment with Lynn dressed in pink and black, in full makeup, and Chris made her hair look even longer, giving it a gorgeous pixie cut look. The guys nod, impressed. And then we sit back down and continue to play.
