Step Up Divergent

Merry Christmas

Tobias POV

"America!" I yell. I find Zeke standing in a corner trying to hide the beer from a few kids "Zeke where's America" he jumps

"Oh Its you, Last time I checked she was upstairs with Christina" I jog upstairs. Please don't put make up on her. Please don't put makeup on her. I open the bathroom door to find her on the ground unwrapping a box.

"America what did you do...those are for tomorrow" I kneel down next to her.

"No" she pulls back.

"America" I warn her

"You were supposed to be downstairs while Junior was going to go get the..." her voice trails off.

"The what?"

"Nothing, I wanted wrapping paper and a box so...I thought why not recycle that way we don't have to go to the store and waste money" I smile.

"You could of asked...we have more wrapping paper in the attick"

"Oh..." she stands up "thank you" she runs out. I shake my head lifting the box up. Did, did she just say thank you? Oh no.

"America!" I run out crashing into Tris.

"Where's America?" /"Where's Junior?" We both say at the same time

"I Don't know Amercia is heading towards the attic...she can't go up there on her own she'll fall"

"Yeah well Junior went down to the basement...there are a lot of black widows down there"

"Well get looking" we both part our ways.

After hours of searching for the two we meet up in the hallway again.

"So?" She asks.

"Nothing"

"Maybe they're downstairs" Tris suggests.

"Let's go check" she walks ahead of me giving me the opportunity to smack her butt. She turns around and punches me in the arm. I laugh pulling her by the waist "how about we ditch staying up late and head to bed right now" I whisper next to her ear.

"Sounds like a plan" she whispers back.

"Okay" I kiss her cheek "...let's go find those two" we decend the steps. Junior waits downstairs for us.

"Where were you?" He smiles.

"I was in the kitchen with uncle Will" I look at Tris.

"Where's Christina?" I ask.

"Here..." she has Amercia by her side.

"Okay...let's just ignore the fact that you four dissapeared and let's go on with the party" Tris says walking away

"You two better stay out of trouble" they nod.

Tris POV

The alarm next to my bed stand starltles me when it goes off.

"What? What time is it" Tobias moves beside me in bed. I sit up and hit the dismiss button. It reads 11:55. Why would we put...oh my gosh. There's a knock on the door. I hit Tobias with my foot. He doesn't wake.

"Tobias. Tobias" I grab a pillow and smack him in the head. He wakes up.

"What?"

"It's almost midnight" he gets up right away.

"Mommy"

"Is that America..." he rubs his eyes.

"Go change quickly" he runs towards the bathroom "coming Gracy"

"Okay" I pick up my freshly new pair of jeans and a striped t-shirt that looks like a candy cane. I open the door.

"Hey sweetie" I pick her up.

"Everyone's gathering outside to see the fireworks" I nod

"Okay go get your coat on...Where's Junior" I set her down.

"With uncle Uriah"

"Okay...I'll be down in a minute let me just put on the appropriate clothes, do your cousins have jackets?"

"Yes"

"I'm ready" Tobias appears from outside the bathroom.

"Let's go then" Tobias grabs a hold of America and I lead the way downstairs. Once we make it to the outside I see that everyone's gathered around the Christmas tree.

"Mommy" I lift America up so she's out of the snow.

"So what exactly was the plan?" Tobias asks coming closer to me and America. He embraces me so I will stop shaking.

"I have absolutely no idea...Uriah made the plans remember"

"Oh boy" I smile "let's just hope he didn't mess anything up.

"Ladies and gentlemen...kids and well kids, our plan for this fine-"

"Merry Christmas!" Lynn yells. I laugh as everyone begins to ignore Uriah.

"Hello!-excuse me-IT'S MY TURN TO TALK" he hollers. Everyone around us goes silent "thank you...Shauna please take over the dj and people please enjoy our little performance"

The lights dim and two teams move towards the center. I hand America to my mom and Tobias and I join the rest on the dance floor.

"Thanks for coming" I close the door to the last person. I turn around to find both Junior and America standing there "time for bed" I smile.

"Can we open one present...please" they both say. Tobias comes into the room trash bag in hand.

"Don't worry about that now...we'll do that tomorrow" he sets the bag down.

"Why aren't you two in bed?" He asks.

"Because we want to open one present" Junior happily says. I look at Tobias who looks at Junior.

"Fine only one...then it's off to bed" they nod as they run towards the living room. We follow behind them and settle down on the sofa next to the Christmas tree.

"Here" America hands us a flat something wrapped neatly in wrapping paper.

"What's this?" Tobias takes it and reads the names "To mom and dad...from Mer and Junior, when did you two get money for this?"

"Christina and Will helped us" Junior says from behind America. I look at Tobias. He smiles.

"Thank you" I smile "that was very thoughtful of you two...who's idea was it?"
"Both of us" America replies both hands behind her back "well aren't you going to open it?" Her blond locks fall beside her face. She fights to pull them back.

"Yes" Tobias and I laugh. He unwrapps the gift. It's a book. I smile.

"I heard dad say once that you liked to read so I was hoping you can do that for us" I smile

"Of course...come here" the four of us settle down in the sofa. After Tobias reads through the story Junior and America fall asleep on me. We set them down on the sofa and head towards our room.

I lay in bed next to Tobias. He pulls me against him causing me to stop shivering.

"Merry Christmas" he says.

"Merry Christmas" I answer.

I was thinking of a story for the picture and this just came out as I wrote. One more chapter left!
