Tris pov:

"You know Tobias," I say as we walk into our apartment. "You probably shouldn't let any of the other initiates know Desiree is your sister, for the same reasons we didn't tell anyone we were together during my initiation."

He nods his head and says "Ya, everyone will just think I am giving her favoritism."

"Ya" is all I say in response.

After sitting in silence for a few minutes, Tobias says "Tris, you should probably go see Peter, I mean he did save your life. He thought you were dead, and I can say that he was upset that you died, considering you guys became pretty good friends." He's right. I haven't seen Peter since he saved me, and nobody necessarily told him I was alive. He just saw me and did what he could to save me.

"Okay, well I guess I will go see him. Do you know where I could find him?" I ask. "Oh Ya, he works in the tattoo parlor." I nod and go find him.

I walk through the doors of the parlor and see Tori holding Hazel.

"Oh hey Tris, did you come to see Hazel? she has been so sweet! I love her, and once you are finished training initiates, I will totally babysit her anytime you need me to." Tori says.

"Hey, and I actually didn't come to see her, I came to see Peter." I reply.

"Oh okay, he's works in the far right corner." She says pointing to the very back of the parlor, where the last curtain that separates the rooms hangs. I nod and thank Tori before I walk back to Peter's booth.

Since I can't knock, I peek my head through the curtain to see that Peter is not doing anyone's tattoo. As he hears the curtain slide open, he looks up. When he sees me he has a surprised look on his face. "Peter?" I ask him.

He stands up and walks over to me and embraces me in a hug. At first, my arms hang loosely at me sides, then at the sudden realization, I hug Peter back tightly. He pulls away and says "Tris, I think you know exactly what I'm wondering." He says expectantly.

I nod as I sit down on the chair used for doing tattoos, and he sits on a stool across from me.

"I remember being in the hospital. I tried so hard to move and talk, but I just couldn't. My entire body felt so weak and frail. I could hear a nurse give Tobias the bad news and a long beep. They thought that I was dead.

Then at some point, I opened my eyes, not knowing how long I had been in my coma, and I saw random people standing around me. I couldn't remember anything because the doctors gave me memory serum to erase my mind. Little did I know these people were my new Foster family. I was living in a house full of brats.

I got a job at an adoption center easily, because I ranked first in initiation. A man walked up to the front carrying a baby and was telling me he wanted to adopt the child. I didn't really acknowledge him until he said what he wanted to name the baby.

He asked to name the child Beatrice.

At that moment all the memories came flooding back all at once and I knew who was standing in front of me. Four." I finish. We sit in silence.

"Well tell me." He says suddenly.

I look up in confusion. "Tell you what?" I ask.

"Well something is obviously bothering you about this all." He says.

I look down staring at the ground.

"I just don't understand why a doctor would give me the memory serum." I say not looking at Peter.

Peter stands up grabbing his jacket.

"Where are you going?" I ask.

"To find out why."

Tobias pov:

I am sitting in the control room right now staring at the computer screens blankly. Zeke is next to me rocking back in forth in his chair, causing loud, obnoxious squeaks. "Zeke, I swear if you don't stop moving I will stab you in the eye with a butter knife." I say fed up. He looks at me with confusion written all over his face.

"Um, normally I would be afraid of that, but dude, seriously? Why a butterknife to the eye out of all things?" He asks. "It's an inside joke, you wouldn't understand." I tell him smirking. "What won't you understand?" Tris asks walking into the control room behind Peter.

"I threatened to stab Zeke in the eye with a butterknife and when he asked why a butterknife, I told him it was an inside joke." I respond.

Tris and Peter look at each other and laugh over dramatically just to make Zeke feel bad he's not in the loop. He just pouts in response. A smirk suddenly makes its way onto his face and he pulls his knees up to his chest, holding them tight. Then starts to rock back and forth in the rolling chair. I groan and then smile at his stupidity, as I grab the back of his chair and push the chair hard, and literally fall to the floor laughing as Zeke crashes into a file cabinet. Peter rolls his eyes and says "don't you guys have a job to do?" Which only makes me laugh harder and Zeke joins in. Tris chuckles and pats Peter in the shoulder and says "That's funny Peter."

"Tris we came here for a purpose." Peter says exasperated. Tris groans and says "but that looks like fun! I wanna ride before we start!" That's the Tris I know and love.

I grab my rolling chair. And Tris jumps in. Zeke pulls his up next to mine and says "come on Peter, you know you want to." Peter rolls his eyes and gives in hopping onto Zeke's chair.

" First one through and out of the pit wins! Okay let's do this!" Tris screams. Zeke and I start running while pushing Tris and Peter fast down the hallway making our way to the pit.

"Watch out!" Tris screams to the Dauntless members walking through the pit. "Honk honk!" Tris yells getting people to move out of the way. We were three-quarters of the way through the pit, when a wheel gets stuck in a crack, causing an abrupt stop, and Tris to fly out of the chair and me to trip over the chair and land next to Tris.

We look at each other and burst into laughter. We calm down and look into each other's eyes. We meet each other In the middle and kiss on the ground in the middle of the pit.

"We win!" I hear Zeke scream.

"Um dude I think they won." He laughs pointing to us. I hear gasps and Tris and I break apart. I look at where the sounds came from and look to see the initiates in a group all staring at us with wide eyes, except for Desiree.

"You're together?!" Ellie asks astonished. I nod and see Tris blush and look down saying "we're actually engaged."

"Ugh!" I hear Ariana screech and stomp away with Damion by her side.

After about five minuets of the initiates of silence while the initiates stare at us, Tris whispers "they're creeping me out, let's get out of here." I look down at her give her a small nod and I say "Enough! Go!" They all scurry off while Desiree just smirks and walks away.

"Wow, is it that much of a shock to them? I thought it was obvious." We laugh and Tris jumps back on the rolling chair and Peter, Zeke, Tris, and I roll through the pit back to the control room. On the way I see Christina roll her eyes at us, but mostly Tris, because it's not "lady like" to do this at her age. Tris looks back at me and gives me a confused look while shrugging and says "they see me rolling and they be hating." We all laugh as we enter the control room. As I roll the chair back to the desk, Tris mumbles

"Now time for some business."

Hey initiates, UGHH! I haven't updated since Saptember 14th! I'm so sorry for that! I just had a bit of a writers block, but now I'm back and I'm ready to attack! No?😬🙈

QOTD: OH MY FLYING PANCAKES! Who has seen the new Mockingjay trailers?! UGH! There's the one where she goes to district 12, the one when Peeta cries, and the one where Katniss tells Prim not to leave the ones you love behind. And let me just say, I BAWLED! It was awful. And btw I'm not lying when I said I cried, I think it's true that we all have that one friend that pretends that they cry at the movies and are wiping their eyes like there are tears there. THAT ANNOYS ME SO MUCH! Ugh! Like I'm over here literally bawling from feels and you're over here sitting next to me acting like you're crying while I'm having a panic attack?! Lol anyways, I just needed to let that out!

Remember to be eaton that cake!
