My first Divergent fic ever!

First of all, I really need feedback, so please PLEASE review or PM! I promise to reply to everything and everyone! Throw whatever you've got at me - positive feedback, constructive criticism, even flames (but preferably not), if (when) you find a mistake, whatever... Please tell me, it takes only a second.

Second, I don't own anything except for this idea, so don't steal or sue, okay?

And last but not least, enjoy and R&R!

"Sooo. Four. What is today's Dauntless masterplan?" Christina asks excitedly. Today is Tobias's turn to come up with a Dauntless plan and carry it out for me and a couple of our friends. It's a new game we have come up with, since the war is over and we were bored. Every day, one of us has to come up with a plan and carry it out. If we don't like it, we give penalty points, if we do, we subtract penalty points. At the end of the month, the person with most penalty points has to buy the rest of the group (me ,Tobias, Christina, Zeke, Uriah, and Shauna, who has recovered and is able to walk, after all.) dinner. Zeke and Shauna are on a date (finally, took them long enough to figure out that they were in love, everybody else already knew of course...), and Uriah is ill, so today it's just Christina, me, and Tobias.

"Patience, Christina. And if you don't shut up, I'll dump you from the train halfway and you'll never get to know my plan." We follow him to the tracks and jump on the second train that passes by. During the ride, we question him about our destination, but he doesn't tell us anything. We jump out at the fence. We don't go through the gate, but continue to follow the fence, in the direction of the mash. When we arrive at the mash, Tobias starts to follow a tiny path, barely visible.

"Stand in my footsteps. If you don't, you might drown in the quicksand."

"This better be worth it. I'll give him five penalty points if he's dragged us out here for nothing." Christina mutters to me under her breath. I chuckle. A while later, we stumble upon a huge area of water.

"This is only a fraction of the original lake. It's still big though." Understatement of the year, Tobias.

"And what is it that we're going to do here, Four?"

"See this?" He picks something off the ground and shows it to us. It looks like a huge kite. "Erudite has developed this about half a year ago. Apparently, not the whole faction was busy with Jeanine's take-over. This is supposed to be able to carry a load of around 200 pounds up to a maximum height of fifty feet. This lake is fifty feet deep in the middle. Yes, Christina, before you ask, I checked that. And it means that if this kite hovers at fifty feet, and you fall from it, you won't touch the bottom of the lake. So that is what we are going to do!" I can't believe my ears. Tobias, afraid of heights, is going to fall from fifty feet, voluntarily? The world has gone crazy.

"200 pounds... That is not all three of us." Christina is starting to get excited, but she gets straight to the point. That is still normal, at least...

"No. One person will stay on the ground to steer. This thing is just a prototype, so it has only enough power for one ride. I'd love to go, but I already did something like this once, and I think the two of you deserve a try." Of course. Tobias. Four. Always an excuse.

"Has this thing ever been tested? And how did you manage to get your hands on it?" I ask, curious as ever.

"No. And I got it by blackmailing, connections, and a little threatening. Mainly blackmailing, though."

"Looks like you've been busy the last hour. Okay, let's do this! Uriah is going to be so jealous that he had to miss this!" Typically Christina. Has this dangerous device ever been tested? No? Okay, such fun, let's go! I do find myself to agree with her though, this is awesome. I make a mental note to subtract at least ten penalty points of his. We strap ourselves into the harnesses that are hanging below the kite, giggling all the while. Tobias cocks an eyebrow at our girlish behaviour, but decides not to make any comments. If he had, he'd probably be a few bruises (and possibly a black eye) richer by tomorrow. He pulls around a remote and we shoot straight up into the sky. He doesn't know how to steer this thing, but who cares? He'll figure it out along the way. After a while, he's starting to figure out the remote and we start to move to the middle of the lake.

"Um... Tris?" Christina says, and I look at her?

"Yeah?"

"I-I just thought of something..." She falters, and I get more and more curious – and concerned. She's pale and looks like she might be sick.

"Four, let us hover for a second, please?" I yell, and I can hear him faintly shouting 'Okay' back.

"What's it, Chris? What's the matter?"

"The water... this time of year, it's freezing! And I..." She hesitates. "When I was a kid, six or seven years old... we were ice-skating and suddenly the ice cracked below me... I fell below the ice. The only reason I'm still... you know... here, is that I got stuck in some seaweed and they managed to crack the ice above me. I barely survived, and even though I am a great swimmer, I've been afraid of cold water ever since." My jaw has dropped. I never thought the strong, unafraid Christina wasn't scared of anything mayor except for moths... if you call that mayor.

"Right. Do you want to jump and face your fear, or do you want to go back down and do this in summer or something? I honestly don't mind."

"No I'm just going to jump. But... this may sound stupid, but please hold my hand? If I know there's someone else in there, I won't panic, I guess."

"Sure. 'Kay, Four, let's do this!"

We shoot to the middle of the lake (Tobias must've figured out the controls) and I grab Christina's hand. We open our harnesses, but I'm a little faster than Christina, and for a second, I hang there by my left hand. Then, her harness is open, and we fall to the water. I feel Christina stiffen next to me, but I scream in delight. We fall into the cold water, and, remembering Chris's fear, I struggle my way up with her hand clasped in mine. We break the surface and I gasp for air. We swim to the small beach (it takes us five or ten minutes, it's quite far). I hug Tobias, who looks at me with a cocked eyebrow. Probably because he managed to stay dry and warm, and now he's soaked in water.

"That was fun," she muses. "not half as bad as I'd thought it would be... Thank you, Tris." She hugs me briefly and we start to walk back.

"Okay Four, I subtract five penalty points from you. Tris, tomorrow it's your turn again. Your better make it good, because you have the highest amount of points now." I give them a wicked grin.

"Don't worry. I have just the right plan in mind."

Well thank you a lot for reading this it means a lot! Please R&R, I DO accept ideas for future plans. I might or might not use them, or change them slightly, but I will appreciate and consider every single one you throw at me.

Much love and don't forget: Sometimes, it's the little things in life that make a difference (like reviews)! Oh, and if you can tell me where I got that quote, I'll dedicate the next chapter to you.
