We start climbing back down. I feel my feet touch the platform and look up at Tris. She is only a few feet above me. I start down the ladder and hear scream, a metal bar falls past me and slams to the ground 50 feet below.

"Four! Help." Tris's voice rings out from above me. I look up to see her feet kicking wildly in the air.

"Hold on!" I yell back up at her. I start to climb down as fast as I can, taking the rungs two and three at a time.

My feet slam to the ground as I jump down the last ten feet or so. Please, let this work. I run to what I think is the control panel. There is a large round button in the middle and I can only assume it is the power switch, the words on the metal box rusted away long ago. I slam it down with the heel of my hand and hear the metal gears start to grind into action. I run out from under the wheel just far enough to where I can see her. Come on Tris...Just hold on. When she is about ten feet from the ground, she lets go. She hits the ground and rolls hard to the side. One of the metal carriages misses her by centimeters. She stops flat on her back with her hands covering her face. I run over to her and kneel down, wrenching her hands from her face. I am expecting to find tears, but instead I am met with a wide smile and a burst of excited laughter escapes her mouth.

I press her cold hands between mine trying to warm them. "You alright?" I ask.

She nods her head at me. I start to laugh with relief and she starts to laugh too. I can't help but notice how beautiful she looks when she laughs. She pushes herself up to a sitting position. Her body is so close to mine and all I want to do is press her against me. She stares up at me. There is an electricity in the air between our bodies. I want to kiss her, but I lose my nerve.

I pull her up and we start running towards the carousel to the others. I look back to see if she is alright. She is limping a little, but other than that seems to be fine. Her eyes have an alive look about them. They sparkle in the moonlight. I don't know why just seeing her can make me smile, but it does. We reach the carousel and are met with Lauren holding a gun aimed right at us.

"Don't shoot. Its only us." I say in a hushed voice.

Lauren is clearly irritated. She rolls her eyes at us and says, "Don't know why you are bothering to whisper. You might as well have drawn them a map to where we were. What the hell were you thinking turning on the wheel? I swear Four, the only reason I wanted to be on your team was I knew we would win. If I have to lose three years in a row, because you decided to be an idiot all the sudden..."

I cut her off, "The wheel doesn't matter, now. We climbed the wheel and we know where Eric's team is hiding their flag."

"We?" Christina asks.

"Yeah, while the rest of you were twidling your thumbs. Tris climbed to the top of the wheel to look for the other team." I snap back at her. Still angry she let Tris go off on her own. But after what I have witnessed tonight, I am getting the feeling no one lets Tris do anything.

"So what do we do now?" Marlene asks. I don't answer her. I just calmly look down at Tris and slowly the others turn their attention towards her as well.

Tris maks a plan of attack and the others agree. We head off towards the park and the area where Eric's team is hiding. We see their team up ahead and begin our attack. I duck down low and run as quietly as possible behind a large tree. I drop down on my stomach and prop my self up on my elbows. I start to pick off Eric's team, neon yellow paint spaying over my victims. I take out at least five people before they realize where I am shooting from. I get up to move locations and here Christina yell triumphantly. When I walk towards my end of the park, she is waving the flag proudly above her head. Tris is walking a few steps behind her looking a little jealous.

I jog a little bit to catch up with them. I want to say something to her, to comfort her in some way. I grab her arm at the elbow, pulling her back away from the others a little. They don't notice. They are too caught up in their own excitement to care what we are doing. "Tris," I start. But I can't seem to get words to come out of mouth. The air around us has a charged feeling to it again. I feel like it is sucking the air out of lungs.

"Yes?" she asks, smiling at me curiously.

"Good job tonight." I say. My nerves failing me once again.

"Oh, uh, thanks, Four." she says.

I let go of her arm and she hurries to catch the others. Zeke and Lauren catch up to us and we all wait to get on the train. I jump in after everyone else is onboard and stand with my back againt the doorframe. Tris and her group of friends sit against the back wall passing the flag back and forth between them.

"So I hear the Stiff has quite a few surprises in her. She must have some Dauntless in there to have climbed that wheel." He grins and looks over at Tris. "She's hot. Who knew she was hiding that body under those Abnegation clothes. Looks like Uri's noticed too. That'a boy, Uri. Get some."

I look over to see Uriah sitting down next to Tris. Pressing up against the side of her so that she is squeezed between him and Marlene. He says something to her and she smiles. I suddenly have the urge to throw him off the train.

Lauren groans a little, "He is going to be impossible to put up with tomorrow during training. Not to mention Marlene's going to have to find some one new to flirt with. My day's gonna be awesome."

Uriah squeezes a paintball and it sprays pink paint all over his face. He squeezes it again and wipes paint all over Tris's cheeks. I make a mental note to kill him in his sleep later. Maybe it isn't a bad thing that he likes her, the more protection she has from Eric the better. She is laughing so hard, she can't breathe. I haven't had the chance to see her this way in training. I hope I have a chance to see her this way again.
