Hello, I've got something important to say. From Chapter 4 on my friend will be writing every other chapter. I'm excited for her, and for this story, because she can incorporate fresh ideas. I just need to get everything set up, and then her chapters will begin to go up. To know it's her chapter I'll write the word 'B-1' at the top of the page, if it's mine I'll write 'A-1'. Because of her updating as well there might be more chapters up, I don't know. Now, to the disclaimer: I do not own Divergent, I just own the initiates. If I owned Divergent, I wouldn't have written the Allegiant ending now would I? Now, a Guest user was giving me a lot of tips. 1st off, I enjoy the feedback and tried to incorporate some of it. Some people need to do some jobs, okay? Four and Tris haven't been together for long, so he's not going to be exactly himself with her. And, I just wanted to add that part in. I wanted some not-so-Dauntless careers to be available. I added two of your suggestions however. And now on to the chapter:
"Where did you get that?" A baffled Shauna asks. Zeke just shrugs his shoulders and hands the costume over to Lauren. It's a large pink ball gown with plenty of frills. Lauren heads into the bathroom and comes back a minute later looking grumpy.
"Now, call me 'Your Majesty'. Tris, C or D?" Lauren asks. I take a minute to think.
"Candor, Your Majesty," I say, trying to sound as polite as possible. Lauren scoffs and a couple people yell "Pansycake", but Four just winks.
"Who do you have a crush on?" She asks. Clearly Lauren didn't see our display.
"Four" I say in a singsong voice, he smirks and Lauren smiles devilishly.
"Now you just told Four! He'll never like you now!" Lauren shouts. Everyone else knows about Four and I so they start laughing, Lauren just looks confused.
"Lauren, Tris and I are together," Four says calmly, walking over to me. He picks me up gently and places me in his lap. Lauren blushes and looks down.
The night zooms away and next thing I know I'm in Four's bed. Why am I in Four's bed? I think about last night. I felt sleepy and told Four so he took me back to his apartment. That must've been it. I notice that he's next to me with his arms wrapped around me protectively. I smile and go to grab a change of clothes from his dresser. I brought some here last night.
I pick out the black v-neck and dark skinny jeans and slip them on, then proceed to brush my hair and put my black Converse on.
"Hey sweetie," Four says as he walks next to me. I jump, startled and glare at him.
"You ready to go with me to pick my job?" I ask, looking at him intently. He's dressed, and seemingly ready to go, so I just drag him along.
"You are the strangest girlfriend ever!" He complains, finally wrenching out of my steel-tight grip.
"Congratulations!" I say sassily as we enter the training room, which is now set up with booths.
"So, you go the clipboard and write which job(s) you want. Then you go to the corresponding booths to grab what you need. If you want to be an initiate trainer you need to have a second job," He says, guiding me towards the clipboard. When we reach it, I take a look at my choices though I already know what I'll choose.

That's all the choices that are offered. I take note that no positions for Dauntless Leader are available. I write my name next to the Interior Designer and Initiate Trainer. Before I didn't want to train initiates, but it seems fun now. Four glances at my choices and nods, then walks me over to the Interior Designer booth.
"Hello! I'm Fawn," The woman at the booth says. She has on a tunic and leggings as well as sandals. Her long blonde hair is left down. She has emerald-green eyes and light skin.
"Hi, I'm Tris," I say, smiling at her. Fawn has a very nice attitude.
"Here," Fawn says as she hands me a booklet, a special pencil, a sketchbook, a magazine, as well as a phone book. Fawn also hands me a bag to carry it in.
"You'll need to work on your art skills, so that's what the pencil and sketchbook are for. You will also need to check out some different popular designs, so that's what the magazine is for. You'll need to learn about the job, so that's why you have the booklet. You'll also need to be able to contact clients, so that's what the phonebook is for. Report for work at 10 AM tomorrow at the Art Studio," Fawn says.
"Where's the Art Studio?" I ask. Fawn nods and gives me directions, and then Four guides me to the Initiate Trainer booth.
No one is attending the Initiate Trainer booth. Four tells me to grab a booklet, and then I spend a couple minutes wandering around.
"Why don't we go get some brunch," Four says as he takes the bag from me. A few minutes later we arrive at one of Four's favorite restaurants.
It's called 'Pancakes' and is a pancake house. Not surprising. Four takes me inside and the hostess seats us at a table for two.
"So, you'll be working in the Control Rooms until Initiate Training season?" I ask. Four chuckles.
"Nice name for it, Initiate Training Season is perfect. Now I should answer your question. Yes, I'll be working in the Control Rooms for a couple more months.
"Okay. The booklet said that my shift is from 10 AM to 4 PM, what's your shift?" I ask.
"So many questions!" Four complains.
"Hey, I'm new to this!" I say defensively.
"That's not a bad thing. My shift is from 9 AM to 4 PM, so I'll have to wake up earlier than you," He replies. Just then, the menus come.
I decide to order two pancakes, bacon, scrambled eggs and some fruit. Four orders the same thing, which I find funny considering how small I am compared to him. A little later the food arrives.
