Author's Note: After finishing Insurgent, I noticed something interesting: Andrew, Evelyn, Jeanine, and Tori all came from the same faction and were all in the same class! (Evelyn says she, Andrew, and Jeanine were classmates, and Jeanine mentions that Tori was in her class right before she dies.) This led me to speculate whether something happened between all these grown-ups when they were young. I have no idea why Tris is "Generation 2" in Insurgent, but that makes her parents and their peers Generation 1, hence the title. This story will be mainly centered on Tris's father, Andrew, with snatches of the others' lives at different points in time.

By the way, I finished this before Allegiant came out in my area, so some details might not fit with the third book.

To help you keep the names straight, here are the seven families (bolded names are canon):

Carr Family: Leon + Iris —» Andrew, Perrier

Johnson Family: Viktor + Crystal —» Evelyn

Matthews Family: Kyle + Nora —» Jeanine, Dave, Candice, Amy, (Abel)

Reyes Family: Graham + Suzanna —» Frederick, Johanna, Yvonne

Eaton Family: Dexter + Zoe —» Richard, Marcus

Prior Family: Ottis + Ruth —» Natalie

Wu Family: ? + Naomi —» Tori, George

October 17, 2282, one year after Insurgent

Tris

The afternoon light filtered into the dull gray room, highlighting the dust motes that danced in the air. Tris coughed, picking her way past splintering floorboards to the stairs.

"Wow, we're gone for a year and dust takes over everything," remarked Tobias as he followed her upstairs, glancing nervously over his shoulder. "You sure your father would've hidden any secret files here? The Abnegation don't allow possessions."

"He was born Erudite, remember?" Tris replied, opening the door to her father's old room. Seeing his furniture and the clothes that still hung in his closet brought memories flooding back to her mind. She could almost hear his voice in her head… Tris shut her eyes and pushed the depressing thoughts away. She needed to focus. The factionless army might be here at any second. "Check all the floorboards, cupboards, and nooks and crannies for any documents you can find," Tris instructed Tobias, bending down to lift the mattress off the bed. Tobias nodded and obediently began to search.

There was nothing beneath the bed but a few squashed bugs. A grueling search through the drawers of the desk and the cupboards revealed nothing interesting, either. Hmm, maybe Tobias was right. Tris had just about given up hope when she found what appeared to be a book wedged between the dresser and the wall. "Hey, I found something!"

"Really?" Tobias crossed the cramped room in one stride and helped her shove the dresser forward. The unpolished wood made a rough scratching sound against the similarly-made floor. Tris stretched her arm into the crack and pulled out the hidden object.

"It's a yearbook," said Tobias after a moment. "From thirty years ago."

Tris looked down at the gold-emblazoned words on the black leather-bound tome in her hands. Sure enough, it was labeled, "Yearbook, 2250-2251." "That's about the time my parents chose their factions!" she cried, opening the book eagerly.

Tobias frowned. "Tris, we came here for information, not to look at photos of your parents."

Tris rolled her eyes, flipping quickly through the pages. "Oh, come on, just give me a sec." Under "Upper Levels, Graduating Class—Erudite," one face caught her eye. He had the same dark, wavy hair and hooked nose she had always known, just minus a few wrinkles. But the last name… "Andrew Carr?"

"That your dad?" asked Tobias, peering over Tris's shoulder. She nodded slowly. "Well, one thing's for sure, Edith Prior's an ancestor of your mom's, then."

Tris frowned. "My parents never told me Prior was Mom's last name…" She felt her breath catch in her throat as she caught sight of a blond girl with sharp gray eyes and thick spectacles a few rows down. "Jeanine Matthews?!"

"My mom told you they were classmates," Tobias reminded her. Tris nodded numbly, unable to imagine how that evil woman could ever have been a child, much less sat in the same classroom as her father. Even at 16, Jeanine had that same self-satisfied smirk.

"There she is!" cried Tobias suddenly, pointing to another picture. "Evelyn Johnson!" Tris squinted. Unlike the other two, Tobias's mother had changed considerably since her teenage years. In the portrait, her curly black hair was smooth and shiny, her eyes innocent and light, and her jaw not yet square and imposing. It was almost impossible to reconcile the shy-looking girl with the woman now leading a rampage in the city. "Hey, look! There's Tori Wu!"

Tris tore her eyes away from Evelyn's and down to that of a young woman with spiky black hair and small, angular eyes. "This is getting ridiculous. How could these four possibly have all been in the same class?"

Tobias was silent for a moment. "It makes perfect sense, actually…flip to the Dauntless and Abnegation pages. See if you can find your mother and my father."

Tris turned quickly to the relevant pages. Sure enough, "Natalie Prior" and "Marcus Eaton" were listed under their respective factions. On the Candor page, she found "Johanna Reyes" as well.

"They must've known the others, too, if they were all in the same year at school," muttered Tris slowly. "But then…"

"Something happened between them," said Tobias darkly. "This can't be a coincidence. Don't you find it strange that five out of those seven people ended up changing factions? How Andrew, Marcus, and Johanna became such good friends? Not to mention why Jeanine and my mother hate everyone?"

Tris nodded. "Yes, I think something's definitely fishy here. It could help us with the war, if we could figure out what happened."

"Let's start digging around then."
