Chapter 47
Last time: We then do our makeup and head off to the party.
Present:
When we arrive at the dance I see Tyler standing by the door with two other girls. I choose not to think much of it.
"Hey, Tyler!" I say once we get over to him. Will appears from seemingly nowhere.
"Hey! Tris, you know Charlotte and Samantha, right?" At this both of the two girls next to him stomp their feet on his.
"Hi! I'm Charlotte but I prefer to be called Char. We're Tyler's other two triplets!" She says. I didn't know Tyler had any siblings. At all.
"I know you!" Christina shouts pointing at Charlotte. "You told me your name! At the masquerade! You tried to lie to me! Don't you remember me?" She screams.
"Yes. I remember you." Char says.
Tyler looks pleased that we're all getting along well.
"Sami. Why don't you say something?" Tyler says under his breath nudging the other girl.
"Hi. I'm Sami. I'm the anti-social twin." She says very dully.
"Hi! I'm Christina! I think we'll all be great friends!" Christina says very brightly.
"Great." Sami says sarcastically. Christina ignores it and runs off with Will. Sami and Char walk in another direction, leaving Tyler and me alone.
"Hey." I say.
"Hi."
"Let's dance."
- Two Hours Later -
Tyler and I danced for at least two hours. He then offers to go and get me some punch and I accept. I walk off to the side of the gym. The dance committee did a really good job considering that the smell of smelly gym socks is only barely recognizable.
I look around at all the different couples. I see a lot of them are dressed as things like princesses and princes. I'm the only goddess I can see. I see Christina, in her gypsy costume, dancing with Will, who is in a costume like Aladin's from the Disney movie. I also see a lot of couples dressed as princesses and their princes. I see one dressed as Sweeney Todd and Mrs. Lovett from Sweeney Todd. That's creative.
I turn my head and see one couple walking onto the dance floor. They came as Harry and Ginny (AN: yes.). It's not the costume that catches my attention, though. It's the people wearing them. It's Mari and Four. I have to say, Four looks pretty funny with those nerdy glasses on.
Tyler comes back over.
"Hey. What are you looking at?" He asks. I point at Mari and Four and start laughing. Tyler laughs along. I'm laughing on the outside but on the inside I feel a different emotion.
Four POV:
I knock on Maris front door. The door is opened by a man who looks much older than Mari. This must be her father. Mari warned me about him.
"Hello. You must be Mr. Alan. I'm Four, Mari's boyfriend." I say as politely as I can.
"Hello, Four. Bit of an odd name, isn't it?" He says extending his hand. I will not argue with my girlfriends father over my name.
"Yes. I admit it is a little strange indeed." Nice.
"Why don't you come inside for a little?" He asks. Perfect.
"Sure."
I walk inside knowing that I passed the first part of Mr. Alan's test. Mari described how he found out if boys were worthy or not.
"Why don't you come sit with me in the living room." Mr. Alan says.
"Yes. Thank you." I reply. Mr. Alan looks impressed.
We sit on the couch in the living room. Mr. Alan grabs a book before sitting down. This is the next phase.
"Do you like Georgia O'Keeffe paintings?" He asks.
"Yes. I especially love Blue and Green music. That piece really speaks to me." I am only repeating what Mari told me to say. So far so good.
"Ah, yes. That is a lovely piece." Mr. Alan says.
He shows me a few paintings before asking, "In which part of town do you live in?".
"I live in East Dauntless." I respond. I know that this is a good answer because people from Dauntless usually know how to fight, but East Dauntless isn't a rough place.
"That's nice."
At that moment Mari comes downstairs. I have to say, even in quidditch robes, Mari looks pretty good.
"Hey, Harry." Mari says.
"Hi, Ginny." I grin. Mari always knows how to make me smile.
"Bye, Dad. Let's go!" She says, grabbing my hand and pulling me outside.
When we get to the dance I see an assortment of girly dresses and tuxedos. Mari and I seem to be the only Harry and Ginny at the dance. Mari reaches up to my face and adjusts my glasses. I raise an eyebrow.
"What? They were crooked!" She exclaims. I laugh.
"Do you want any punch?" I ask.
"Yeah. Do you?"
"Why not?"
"Okay. I'll go and get some." Mari responds. Before I can object she's walking toward the punch table. I sigh. Oh well, there goes being a gentleman.
Mari's POV:
I start off towards the punch table. I know Four likes playing the gentleman, but I like playing the female who can do things for herself. And poor Dour does too much for me, I mean just earlier tonight he put up with an interrogation from my father.
At the snack table I bump into somebody who has a big fake beard on.
"Excuse me!" I exclaim at the same time that they say "Sorry". I laugh. So does the person I bumped into. He extends his hand.
"Hi. I'm Tyler. Or Zeus. It depends, really." I laugh at his joke.
"Hi. I'm Mari. Or Ginny. It depends, really." I mic him. He laughs.
"Well, Ginny. I have to say you're costume is quite original." Tyler says.
"Right back at ya, Zues." I respond. He laughs. He hands me two cups of punch.
"It was a pleasure to meet you, Ginny." He says bowing. I laugh, yet again.
"Indeed." I say while curtsying. We both laugh.
I walk back over to Four with my thoughts somewhere completely else.
Boom! This was an important chapter! I am still trying to bring to story to a close but I will need probably at least ten more chapters. And *spoiler* they will all be extremely DRAMATIC!
Sorry that I disappeared for a little while, I was on spring break. You can basically read my opinions on the Divergent movie in my Authors Note on Cupids Troubles that I just put up.
Over spring break I finished Harry Potter and The Order of Pheonix, started The Fault in Our Stars and finished TFIOS! Both were amazing!

QOTD: If you were a super hero what would your name and powers be?
My answer: I would be a shapeshifter and my name would change depending on who I was at that moment ;).
