It Wasn't Real

Extra 1

A/N: Hey Everyone! So I decided to write some extras with missing scenes in other peoples point of view like this one, things I have referenced but never went into detail about, or even just random cute one-shots that I feel like writing using this plot and I don't want to make a whole other . So here is the first one! I already have another written and ready to go and one in my head just have to write it! I would love your feedback and to know what you want to see. So, if you have any ideas for one-shots with this plot, any scenes I might have referenced that you want to see in more detail, or even a scene you would like to see, please tell me and if I get the inspiration I will write it!

Thomas woke up gasping; he was in a strange, white room. He quickly sat up and looked around, realizing he had no clue where he was or how he got there. He got up off the gurney and ran to the door. Before he could open it, a middle aged woman walked in. Her hair was blonde and pulled into a messy bun; her skin was pale and almost looked sickly.

Thomas backed away thinking she must be someone from W.I.C.K.E.D and they had captured him again, however she just smiled at him.

"Hello Thomas." She said softly.

"Who are you?" Thomas asked.

"My name is Professor Shari."

"Who do you work for?"

Prof. Shari looked slightly pained. "I don't work for W.I.C.K.E.D if that's what you're wondering. Besides, W.I.C.K.E.D was never real in the first place."

"What?"

"It was all a simulation, none of it was real. The Maze, The Scorch, even Paradise."

Thomas looked shocked. "What about my friends?"

She nodded. "Now they are real and perfectly safe."

Thomas sighed in relief. "Can I see them?"

"Of course. Follow me." Thomas followed her out of his room and down the hall. "It's amazing really. How fast you completed the simulation. It's a shame so many didn't make it to the end. Paradise was so beautiful; the creators really outdid themselves."

Thomas winced. "Well did you find the cure?"

Shari looked hesitant. "We found what we were looking for, yes. You are all safe now."


They arrived at the cafeteria. Thomas walked through the door; the cafeteria was filled with the people he thought he would never see again. Minho was already sitting at a table laughing with some runners from the simulation. He froze as he caught sight of a short, curly haired figure.

"C-Chuck?" He asked shocked.

Chuck turned around and smiled brightly. "Thomas! You did it! You completed the simulation!"

Thomas smiled and hugged the young boy, his eyes filling with tears. "I'm so happy you're alive."

Chuck laughed. "I've gotta tell ya. I'm happy to be alive to." Thomas chuckled and let go of him. Chuck glanced around the cafeteria. "Newt and Alby went to talk."

Thomas looked nervous. "Newt's here too?"

Chuck raised an eyebrow in confusion. "Of course Newt is here. I'll go get him." Before Thomas could reply, Chuck was already long gone.
