A/N: Hey everyone is anyone else having a problem with their login mines not working and I haven't been able to update because of that also I will try and write some chapters because I'm on holiday and I can then release them in the school term but I might have to stop for 3 months because I'm going on an exchange so I'll be really busy but i will try, enjoy.

Stage 1 of initiation:
TOBIAS POV
I roll over and see Tris sleeping there, her hair all over the place and sleep under her eyes but she is still beautiful, a rough, hard kind of beautiful. I bring my face to hers and lightly brush her lips as her eyes shoot open, the kind of reactions I would only expect from a Dauntless. "Morning," I whisper, "time for day one." I'm slightly worried that Tris won't have it in her to be cruel and put on the act, seeing as there is a girl from Abnegation in the pack of initiates, but she looks strong and fit like she's been training to get here.
TRIS POV
I see Tobias frown slightly, he looks worried, I don't know why although I am nervous, it's my first day and I chose this job, I feel like I have to prove myself. I pull myself from the bed and walk, sleepy to the bathroom and dunk my head under the freezing shower and rub shampoo into my hair, as Tobias walks in. I scream and reach for a towel but as I'm wrapping it around me I laugh at his sleepy startled expression. "Tris, I'm so sorry I had no idea you were in here."
He looks like a deer caught it head lights, I laugh and step out of the shower and pull him in close as I softly kiss his jawline. "Now scram." I whisper in his ear as he hurries from the bathroom. I'm learning not to care so much about being modest and I'm slowly shaking off my abnegation roots, I mean he is my boyfriend why should I care?
Tobias POV
As I walk with Tris to breakfast I'm surprised to see she is not embarrassed after this morning, I certainly am, it just shows how much she's changed over her time in dauntless it's been around a year now. We join Al at the table he really is like a big puppy, and he is very much over Tris, I can tell its less uncomfortable between them now, I think working together has helped. He shows us his new tattoo, of a small tree just behind his ear, I wonder if me and Tris should get matching tattoos...
In the training room...
Tris POV
The Initiates stumble into the room with tired faces and I see Harriet recoil at the sight of the guns in my hand. I hand them out as Tobias talks. "Today we will be doing target practice, we need the guns for self defence, and dauntless need to know that they can protect themselves effectively in a dangerous situation so we can focus, rather than being scared of getting injured. Concentrate and watch carefully, you will need this later in training. At the end of the day I will show you your rankings so far into initiation at the end of stage 1 and 3 the people in the last few spots will be cut, and live factionless although you are training apart you will be ranked against the dauntless born." The initiates look terrified I remember how I felt when I heard this news, I was sure I was never going to make it, I was sure I was the weakest one there. Tom, the Candor transfer is built like a bolder with bright ginger hair, he looks nice enough no cold and hard like Peter. Lucy, from amity had got very long blonde hair, and deep blue eyes, tall. She is eyeing up Tobias so I walk over and put my arm around him, she just smiles, I will not shave a particularly pretty imitate hitting on my boyfriend.
"Ok everyone, line up one person to a target and watch me and 4." I raise my voice slightly to flight their tense whispers about rankings. I hand Tobias a gun and smile at him as I take my stance in front of the target.
Tobias POV
I breathe in 1,2,3... Then exhale and pull the trigger the bullet lands right on point. The initiates look impressed, they always do, I remember my first time in this room watching Amar doing the very routine in his head. I think Tris has slightly forgotten about how she has to hide her divergence in dauntless now that initiation is over for her, but the leaders never stop looking...
