"Don't look so upset, Minho." I placed my hands on his shoulders and gave them a light squeeze. He looked up from his spot and saw my smiling face. He smiled back at me before placing his right hand on top of mine.

"I'm not upset." He responded.

"We're celebrating! We have another Greenie and he seems like a pretty decent guy." I said to him. I walked around him and sat down in-between his legs.

"I know, but we'll just have to see how special he is." He said. I sighed as I placed my back against the stump Minho was sitting on. He placed a small kiss into my hair as we looked at the boys. Many of them were already fighting with Gally in their little manmade circle. Gally continued to throw one person down onto the ground. The sounds of people talking and laughing filled the hair as the fire from the pit grew.

"The Greenie almost went into the Maze when you came back." I began to fill Minho in on what had happened during the day.

"Oh ya? Does he have a death wish or is he just stupid?"

"Probably a bit of both." I giggled. "Gally pushed him out of the way though. He was pretty mad."

"Did he say anything to you?" I shook my head. Gally and I have never seen eye-to-eye and I don't believe we ever will. Our personalities continuously clashed and we always get into yelling matches with each other. The other Gladers don't like watching our fights because it makes them feel uneasy. That's the problem with being the mom – you're not allowed to show too much emotion.

"I'll be able to come running with you again Minho!" Luther excitedly came towards the two of us with a smile on his face.

"Oh ya? Does mom approve of this?" Minho teased as he lightly nudged my shoulder with his knee.

"I'm not a mom!" I told him off as I stood up. Minho stood up and smiled at me as he reached for my hair.

"Is that a grey hair?" He teased me again as I scoffed at him and lightly hit his chest.

"Get out of here! I'm the best looking one here!" I retorted. He laughed as his arm snaked its way around my waist and pulled me closer.

"Now I won't argue with that." He had a cheeky grin on his face as he smiled at me.

"I think I should leave you two alone." Luther muttered as he quickly turned around and retreated. The sounds of the boys became louder and my curiosity took the better of me. I turned around and saw that the Greenie was about to join in the fight.

"Should we go watch it?" I asked Minho. He sighed as another moment of ours got ruined by my need to be a part of everything. He nodded his head and let go of me. I took his hand and dragged him towards the circle to watch. Minho stood behind me as he wrapped his arms around me and placed his chin on top of my head.

"Alright, the rules are simple Greenie. I try to push you out of the circle and you try to last more then five seconds." Gally explained the ever so simple rules before facing the Greenie and running towards him. With one big push the Greenie flew into some of the boys behind him, but they caught him and pushed him back up to his feet. Gally grabbed the back of his shirt and pushed him towards the ground. "Come on Greenie, we're not done yet." Gally began to tease the boy as he got his footwork in place. The Greenie spat the sand out of his mouth before getting to his feet.

"Stop calling me Greenie." He said.

"Stop calling you that? What'd you wanna be called? Shank?" Everyone began to laugh at Gally's comment. I shook my head at his idea because he clearly wasn't making him feel welcomed. The Greenie ran towards Gally and the two grabbed onto each other's shirts. They twisted and twirled – trying to see who would fall first and the Greenie ended up being thrown back down onto the floor by Gally. "You know what? I think I've settled on Shank." The rest of the boys continued to laugh as the Greenie got up to his feet. He ran towards Gally and grabbed him by his lower abdomin. Gally began to pushed forwards and right before falling out of the circle the Greenie hit his hand on Gally's back and moved out of the way – sending Gally onto his stomach on the ground. I could feel Minho's expression change as he watched the sight. Now Minho was slightly intrigued.

"Not bad for a Greenie, huh?" The Greenie stood up on his feet before Gally spun around and swiped his leg against his ankles. The Greenie flew backwards and you could almost hear how hard his skull hit the ground. I got out of Minho's grasp as I walked into the circle to check on him. Gally stood up with a facial expression that showed how proud he was of himself. He looked towards me, but I glared back at him.

"Are you okay?" I asked the Greenie as I kneeled down in front of him. His eyes were wide from the collision, but then he began to mutter something.

"Thomas."

"What?" He quickly climbed to his feet and began to yell,

"Thomas! I remember my name! I'm Thomas!" I smiled as I stood up.

"Thomas!" The crowd of boys began to yell Thomas' name. I patted his back and smiled at him. I nodded my head with approval.

"I told you it would all be okay." I said to him before moving out of the way, so the boys could all surround him. I walked back to Minho, who had his arms crossed against his chest.

"You looked like you were about to rip off Gally's head." He smirked at me.

"Because what he did was wrong and childish. Luckily, the fall doesn't seem to have cause any damage to Thomas."

"Maybe it'll knock some sense into him, if he knows what's good for him." However, our celebration was cut short by the familiar sound of the Grievers. A screeching came from the Maze that terrified all the Gladers because we were reminded that we were not alone.
