A/N: MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY! Enjoy Chapter 37!

Tris POV:
I wake up bright and early in the morning and grin.

It's Christmas!

"Wake up, Tobias! Wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up! It's Christmas!" I squeal, jumping up and down on Tobias like a five year old. As childish as it may sound, I'm always the first one up on Christmas, running around the house screaming and jumping on people's beds to get them up, too.

"I'm up, I'm up..." Tobias says, yawning and sitting up slowly.

"Come on! It's Christmas!" I say excitedly, dragging Tobias out of the room to go wake up everyone else. Christina and I bump into each other in the hallway.

"I'll get Shauna and Zeke, you get Uriah and Marlene!" Christina says, and I do as she says.

"Uriah! Marlene! Get up! It's Christmas!" I scream, and they both jolt up and out of bed.

We all run downstairs where Christina is brewing up a pot of something that smells really good. Iook at her quizzically.

"Chocolate coffee. It's another tradition," she explains.

"It's really good if you add some marshmallows and whipped cream to it!" Marlene adds, getting out mugs for the chocolate coffee.

Once we all have out drinks ready, we bring out the presents. I start with my present from Christina. Inside is some makeup and a hair straightener.

"I know your flat iron sucks and you like straightening your hair sometimes, so I got you that. And the makeup is because I'm so excited you finally started wearing a decent amount of makeup without protesting!" Christina tells me.

I laugh and thank her, then move onto the next present from Zeke. I open it and on the inside is black hair dye. I look at him with one eyebrow raised.

"Every year at Christmas, all the girls dip dye their hair and all the guys do something crazy with hair dye to their hair!" Zeke explains. "I got you black, Marlene purple, Christina pink, and Shauna red."

"Cool, you definitely picked the right color for me! Thanks," I smile.

The next present I open is from Shauna. "New shooting gloves! I needed these! Thanks!" I say.

Uriah's gift is a gift-card to a shooting range. "Now we can finally all go shooting together! Thanks, Uriah!" I say.

Marlene got me a huge wooden board and a set of knives to throw at it. "This is amazing! Thank you so much!" I grin.

I open Will's gift and see that he got me a gift-card to Starbucks with a note saying 'I know you're addicted, so I figured you'd lie, this. Don't use it all in one day!' I smile and thank him and Tobias comes up behind me and wraps his arms around my waist.

"I have something for you," he says.

"I have something for you, too," I say back.

"I'll give you mine first," he says, handing me a box. I open it and inside is the paintball gun I've been wanting since it came out. "I would've gotten you a real gun, but those are illegal until you're over 18. So I figured this was the next-best thing," he says, looking down slightly.

I lean into him and give him a light kiss. "It's perfect," I whisper into his ear, and out of the corner of my eye, I see the strands of hair on his arms stand up. I smirk and pull away from him.

"My turn," I say, grabbing the picture that Tori drew. I smile when I think back to last night when I saw the picture for the first time. I was mesmerized, and I can only hope Tobias will like it as much as I do.

He opens the gift and his eyes soften. His lips curl into a small smile and he looks up at me.

"It's amazing, Tris," he says to me.

"I didn't draw it, but I remember you saying that you wanted a picture of us like this so I had my Aunt Tori make us one," I say shyly, still kind of scared that he doesn't really like it.

"It's beautiful, Tris. It's more than I could ever ask for. I love it," he smiles.

"And I love you," I say to him.

"I love you too," he says back, pulling me into a kiss.

Christina coughs loudly and Tobias and I pull away. I feel myself blushing fiercely, but Tobias wraps his arm around my waist and it makes me feel a little better.

"Anyways, now that we've opened all of our presents and we all love them, what do you guys wanna do?" Christina asks.

"Well everything is closed so I don't know. Maybe we could go out and take Christmas pictures," Marlene suggests.

We all agree that that's a good idea and head upstairs to get dressed. I pull on a red sweater and a pair of green skinny jeans. Since we're going out just to take pictures, I decide to use the flat iron and the new makeup Christina got me. I stand in front of the full body mirror in me and Tobias's room and laugh. Tobias hugs me from behind.

"You know we look people from one of those relationship posts on tumblr right now?" I giggle.

He chuckles and I turn around to face him. "Ready to go take some pictures?" he asks.

"Of course," I answer, and we walk out to go meet the others outside.

"Okay so my idea is we just go outside and set our phones up at all different angles and just put them on video so we can screenshot any perfect picture moments!" Christina squeals.

"What is this, a photo shoot? It's not like we're trying to get our pictures famous or in magazines or anything," I laugh.

"Yeah, but I want pictures that I can get framed that are gonna be super awesome so just deal with it!" Christina jokes back.

"Alright, but if we're doing that then we need good cameras," I point out.

"Well Mar, Shauna and I all have good cameras, so we can use those and all of our phones which have good enough cameras, so they'll be good enough," Christina says.

We all grab our phones and set them up at different angles.

"So what exactly are we supposed to be doing?" Uriah asks.

"Just be natural and cute with your boyfriend or girlfriend or whatever. Have a snowball fight or something," Shauna suggests.

I see an evil grin sneak across Tobias's face and the next thing I know, a snowball is flying at me. I deflect it with my arm and smirk. "I told you I was an expert in hand-to-hand combat. Snowballs aren't excluded from the things I can block," I say, balling up some snow in my hands for revenge. I chuck the snow at the back of Tobias's head.

"Oh, it's on," he says, and soon, the whole gang has erupted into a snowball fight. I manage to deflect nots of the snowballs, but there are a few that I miss and eventually everybody's covered in snow. I swear I've laughed so much I feel a six-pack coming on! When we're all pretty much done with the snow throwing, Tobias and I collapse onto the ground together and laugh. I start making a snow angel and he does the same, and the whole group follows. When we're all ready to go in, we watch the video and screenshot the best moments.

"These are perfect! I'm getting you all framed pictures of these as late Christmas presents!" Christina squeals.

I glance at the time and apparently I'm not the only one, because Zeke says,

"We better get started on watching a movie if we wanna get it done in time for paintball!"

We all agree and out on a 'Christmas Classics' marathon, which consists of the little kid shows like 'Rudolph' and 'Here Comes Santa Clause' as well as ones like 'Elf'. When the movie is over, we all head upstairs to get ready for the paintball fight.

"Remember guys, all black! And everybody's putting the hair dye in their hair before we go out!" Zeke calls out.

I smile and get ready in a tight black top and black leggings, grabbing my black hair dye and going into the bathroom to change my makeup into something a little more daring.

I put on a thick line of eyeliner and some darker colored eyeshadow, adding some mascara to define my lashes. When I'm finished with my makeup, Christina dip-dyes my hair. It's only when I look in the mirror and see my outfit and hair when I realize how much I've changed just this year. Last year or even at the beginning of the year, I never would've even considered doing anything like this. But now, it almost seems natural. Tobias walks in and his eyebrows go up a little.

"You look... wow. You look hot, Tris," he says.

"Right back at you," I smirk.

"I like your hair like that, I think it fits you."

"Yeah well who knows what my parents would think of this..." I say, a sudden thought coming to my mind. "Is this permanent?" I ask. What would my parents say?!

Tobias shrugs. "It might be, but I'm not completely sure."

"You know what, screw trying to please my parents! They probably won't care anyways and even if they do, so what? I like my hair like this and this is how I'm gonna have it," I say confidently.

Tobias smiles at me. "Let's go meet everybody downstairs."

We go downstairs and I see everybody's new hair and makeup.

"The clothes look amazing when the game is over because they're all paint stained and crazy," Christina tells me.

"Ready?!" Uriah shouts.

"Yeah!" everybody screams back.

"Let's do this!" Uriah yells, and with that, I prepare for the craziest, most amazing paintball fight of my life.
