A/N: I just realized that I spent 8 chapters talking about the Choosing Ceremony and the first day of initiation. Is that good or bad?
Thanks to everyone who submitted fears for the initiates. Special thanks to:
Jemmie, fanficforyou, blingablong, Miss Amazing and as always, Awesome Epic Brilliant
Sheo forever: OMG I LOVE YOUR IDEA FOR THE WEDDING! That would rockk. Now I wanna attend the wedding :/ But sadly, one can only dwell so long in imagination before they must return to reality... You said that you hoped nothing bad happens when people find out about those secrets... That depends on who finds out her secret (say, Tris' reaction would most definitely differ from Eric's, no?)
cowgirlatheart37: Thanks so muchhhhh :)
Guest: LOL You cried when he proposed? I ship Fourtris so muchhh 3333 Tobias deserves someone as amazing as Tris, and vice versa.
Guest: Aww I am your favorite author in the universe? Thanks so muchhh (but you don't know what you're talking about. JK Rowling, Veronica Roth, Rick Riordan, Sarah J Maas, Kiera Cass-they're all so much better than me... Also, AcademicGirl, a fanfiction writer, is also amazing... I want to be as talented as them but...)
Amazing person: lol Pegicorns? That's so awesome and for some reason creepy. But that ok lol
cuteheartsaan9: lol Hestia doesn't deserve someone like Tobias. Only Tris does 333
PrimrosePotter77: Thank you, of course I'll keep going :P
Miss Amazing: lol your "uber-cool name". That's definitely part of it. Also your humbleness lol.
Crystal: typical erudites (what if I fail) lol-but thats me as well so I shouldn't be talking.
fourtrisinfinity: Jealousy only goes to show that Tris loves Tobias and doesn't want to lose him to anyone-even if that's someone like Hestia.
fanficforyou: Oh yes, definitely! I was originally planning to do Wed Bed or Dead in this chapter, but then... idk, I didn't know how to put it in. Thanks for your ideas-I will use them for Stage Two (when I get to writing that part, which is at least 4 chapters away)
Jemmie: lol, your parents are bugging you? Sounds normal :P Thank you for your suggested ideas (for fears). :D
Voidedstars: Thanks for the compliment :) ( - lol Voldemort's backk)
dauntlexx: Alyssa might or might not have another secret... which you will find out later on in the story.

(Tris' POV)
I wake up groggily and the events of last night, when Tobias proposed, rushes back to me. I glance at Tobias' face, which is relaxed and calm, like a 19-year-old's face should be like. I smile and observed my rings, feelings warmth spread through me, knowing that I can now call him my fiance. I give him a light kiss on his lips and he opens his eyes I stare into their depths, mesmerized by his dark and mysterious shade of blue. I suddenly smile and snap out of my dreamy gaze when I hear his deep laughter.
"Good morning, beautiful," he tells me. I don't bother arguing that I am anything but beautiful anymore, because he always won that argument in the past.
"Good morning, handsome," I say affectionately, giving him another chaste kiss on his lips.
His eyes travel to my ring, and he smiles serenely as he takes it off.
Just as I'm about to ask him what he was doing, he tells me to look inside. And so I do. I gasp. How did I not feel it before? I wonder. On the inside of the ring, there was an engraving, '4 + 6 Forever', with a little heart at the end of the word "forever".
"It's beautiful," I whisper with awe laced in my voice.
"Thank you-I had it specially engraved so it wouldn't just be another ring. It would be the ring, the one worn by the Dauntless prodigy Six, who's the beautiful fiance of the Dauntless Prodigy Four."
Just hearing the word 'fiance' come out of him made me feel special, making me whisper "I love you, Tobias."
"Love you too, Trissy."
I playfully slapped his muscled arm for calling me "Trissy" and then hugged him and snuggled closer to his side. His arm wrapped around me as I sighed into his chest, where I could hear his heart beating rapidly and strongly.
Suddenly, a blow horn sounded outside our bedroom door, effectively snapping us out of our cuddle.
"That'll be Uriah," Tobias frowned, "Telling us, most likely, to get ourselves down at the training room before we're late, and since it's," he glances at the digital clock that sits on top of our nightstand," 5:48, we have precisely 12 minutes left to dress, brush our teeth, get to the training center and set up for the gun training that's taking place today."
"No time for breakfast, then?"
"No, and when we're done setting up the training room, we'll probably need to wake the initiates up because they slept really late last time due to Zeke's party."
"Also, Tobias? How did Uriah get in?"
From outside our bedroom door, I hear Uriah yell, "Doesn't matter, just get changed! I knew you guys would wake up later than usual."
Exactly 10 minutes later, Tobias and I head down to the training room and set out the guns. By the time we are finished, the initiates should have arrived, as it is already 6:03. Uriah runs into the training room with two buckets of water balloons, and Christina follows behind, carrying another two buckets of water balloons.
Of course, I think. This will be Uriah's way of waking the initiates! Uriah hands a bucket to Tobias, Christina hands a bucket to me, and then they take off to head to the Dauntless-born initiates' dorm, while Tobias and I run swiftly and silently down the dreary hallways (or tunnels, rather) to the transfer initiates' dorm.
Hestia's POV
Something wet hits my back, but I don't register it. All I feel now is sick from last night's party. Shouldn't have taken that many shots, I s'pose.
Something hits my back again and I burrow deeper into the itchy, thin blanket that the Dauntless have supplied for the initiates, effectively covering my entire back.
This time, something hits my hair, making it all wet, and I yelp and roll off the bed. I bang my forehead on the floor and have to blink a while to adjust to the bright lightbulb that hangs from the ceiling, right over my bed, which is in the middle. I sit up and groan, rubbing the spot on my head that hit the floor, and think to myself, That will surely leave an ugly bruise...
I glance at the door and I finally realize that Six and Four are at the door, and they are still throwing water balloons at us. I narrow my eyes. So that was what hit my back and head. Six is starting to annoy me. First, she steals my Four. Then she becomes his fiance, and now, she's pelting me with balloons. I will find a way of revenge, if it's the last thing I do.
A/N: It's been over a week, I know. I'm sorry-I hate summer "camp". All we get is lectures. How's that camp? Ugh~
My friend,Genius With a Capital J, recently added a story, based off of The Selection (MAXERICA FOR THE WIN lol I ship them so much) and Throne of Glass, both of which are series I introduced to her (lol yes, Im still taking credit, Genius) and if you guys would check it out- I would love you forever. She worked really hard on it, and she feels like she's failing at writing cuz she isn't a lot of views. So.. um yea.
Also, I'm going to assume that you all read the Harry Potter stories. So, if you want to participate, when you review and/or answer the trivia, tell me your House [Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, or Slytherin] and I'll give points to that House. Winner House gets a shout outtt and virtual COOKIES. I'm a Gryffindor btw (and Dauntless). I could fit in Ravenclaw as well though. Idk, I like Gryffindor better (I'm on videochat with Genius with a Capital J and she's rooting for Ravenclaw lol-but c'mon guys, it's obvious, Gryffindor is more awesome!)
Trivia!
What was the name of Four's initiation instructor? (Imma be mean on this one-if you don't spell it right, you don't get House points for it!)
Til next time, guys. (Whenever I get a break from HW, that is)
