I'm back!!!!!!! My computer hates me. It wouldn't let me update. I know that the spacing in this story is kind of whack but I'm working on it. If anybody has more suggestions for spacing, you could just review more you know. For those of you who were wondering about Sandry and Daja giggling, I figure that Sandry probably giggles and if you live around Sandry long enough you'll pick it up.

Disclaimer: It's all Tamora's. Sadly, I don't own anything.

Daja's POV

'Those two are so dense.' Daja mused while she was at the forge. 'Maybe I should make a little something that Briar could give to Tris. Tris still had no idea that Briar was completely and totally in love with her.

If she knew ANYTHING about what was going on, then maybe she wouldn't be in such a foul temper like she always seemed to be in.

Daja switched her thoughts to Tris's cousin. He wasn't too bad looking but he simply had to learn how to converse with others that weren't related to him.

Last night at dinner, he hadn't said a word to anybody, except to ask somebody to pass the bread, or the salt. He just seemed strange. Not evil, like Aymery, Tris's dead cousin that had almost got them all killed in the pirate attack on Winding Circle.

Suddenly, she had and idea. Looking around quickly, she grabbed a length of flexible gold wire that she had pulled that morning. She sent a messenger to summon Niko and began to work.

Tris's POV

Late that night, Tris lay in bed thinking about one person. Briar. He was funny, odd, and when she was helping him learn to read, a lock of his dark hair fell across his face.

It made her want to brush his hair back from his face and whisper that she loved him. Something Daja and Sandry had said the night before had made her realize something. She was in love with Briar Moss.

Briar of all people! They had lived together since they were ten. She had probably liked him for at least one of the nearly five years that the kids had been brought together.

Sandry and Daja had realized it when she hadn't. She had thought that Daja was less girly than herself. 'Typical.' she muttered to herself before she fell into a deep sleep.

Daja's POV

She and Niko had worked all night on their special present for Tris and it was finally finished.

She stepped back and admired their handiwork. The fine gold chain would show up perfectly around Tris's pale neck. The special touch she had needed Niko's help for.

He had called down small wisps of cloud, and formed them into small, soft, light grey hearts. He had enchanted them so that they wouldn't disappear and they would reflect her mood.

The other part was several small vines, made to form shapes, twisted into hearts. These were also enchanted so that they wouldn't fade with time.

Happy with the final result, Daja allowed herself the first bit of sleep that she had had in over twenty-four hours. She dozed off leaning against the leg of her worktable and she didn't wake until Frostpine came in to start the fires in the forge.

It was Moonsday and Daja and Sandry decided that it would be a perfect day for Briar to give Tris the special present that had been made over a week ago.

The day was bright and cloudless and they had never seen Tris in such a good mood before.

A couple of days ago, Tris had walked into Sandry's room where all the other girls were with a dazed look over her face. They had immediately figured out that she found out that she was completely obsessed with Briar.

They voiced their assumption and, sheepishly, she nodded yes, that was indeed what she had figured out.

While Briar was washing up after weeding, Sandry wandered into the garden, seemingly aimlessly.

She walked up to him and handed him a small box. "This is for Tris." she instructed him sternly. "You are to wait 'till tonight and ask her if you both can go up to the roof for your reading lesson. Give this to her then and make sure she doesn't know that Daja and Niko made it. I guarantee that she'll be happy."

Briar looked at her like she was crazy before sighing in acceptance. They had all learned a long time ago not to argue with Sandry. When she went into noble mode, she couldn't be stopped.

Once she had left, he cracked open the box and gasped. The workmanship in the necklace was intricate. He had known that Daja was good with gold but they rarely got to see whatever work she did with it.

He spent the rest of the day wandering around, debating on how to give Tris the beautiful necklace.

Sandry had assured him that it would be appreciated but he was unsure. He had never seen Tris wear any jewelry, save a couple of gold bangles at parties, which she avoided at all costs.

What made Sandry think that any jewelry, especially jewelry from him, was going to be appreciated more than the gifts that several of her other suitors had brought her.

He had been delighted when she refused the jewelry that they sent, because of what he blamed on brotherly protection, but he recently realized was jealousy.

Their shows of affection had been rejected, just as his was probably going to be.

Tris's POV

When it was time for their reading lesson that night, Briar surprised her by asking if they could have lessons on the roof tonight, instead of in her room. She assented and was glad that she had.

The light wind was brushing her face and the moonlight glinted off her bright red hair, making her seem almost angelic, even though she was completely unaware.

Briar noticed the fact though, and he spent most of the lesson staring at her instead of paying attention to what she was teaching him. When the lesson was over he steeled his nerve and pulled the small box out of his pocket.

Tris saw Briar pull a small box out of his pocket and her breath caught in her throat. Would she finally have chance to tell him that she loved him or would he beat her to it.

Briar stammered for a moment and then gave up trying to speak and handed the box to the girl he loved.

She looked at him surprised, and opened the velvet box. While Briar watched, wary for any kind of response she gasped and her eyes fluttered closed.

Sorry, writer's inspiration ran out. It is technically my longest chapter yet so I've made up for not updating in several weeks. I'll try to have the next one up sooner but I can't make any guarantees as to when sooner might be. I'm so swamped with school work right now that it's not even funny. Ya'll know the drill, you read it, now you have to review it. Just for the record though, if anybody flames me, I'll probably quit the story. I don't mind constructive criticism but flames make me mad. Thanks to my few faithful reviewers. You people are so nice. Anyways, REVIEW ALREADY. It's not that difficult. You press that nice little button at the bottom of the page and type some words. Now go review before I decide to quit the story.
