Night fell and the Keepers, Newt, Plune, and Alby lit the end of their spears on fire.
"Light 'em up!" Alby yelled before they all threw them into the tall pile of sticks, igniting the large bonfire. The whole Glade cheered, Alby raising his hands and screaming the loudest.
"Gladers! Gladers! Gladers! Gladers! Gladers!" they all chanted as some of the Gladers played their homemade instruments and drinks started to be passed out.
"M'lady," Gally said with a smile as he handed her a drink.
"Thank you, kind sir," she smiled back as she took a sip and joined Newt, Alby, Minho, Frypan, Winston, Zart, and a few others, holding their drinks in the air.
"To the Gladers!" they all yelled before taking a drink and splitting off. Newt took Plune's hand as they joined the dancing boys, holding one of her hands up as she slowly turned around before leaning back into him as they danced, drinks in their hands, to the music some of the Gladers played. He kept his left hand in hers as he wrapped it around the front of her waist, swaying to the music while she smiled and moved with him. His head dipped into her neck, kissing her gently and whispering things in her ear to make her laugh. Eventually, she got pulled off to hang out with Minho, dancing with him for a bit before sitting down and talking as the bonfire continued. She turned as she felt eyes on her, seeing Newt and the greenie sitting a bit away from the fire while looking at her and Minho before looking back at the maze.
"I'll see you in a bit," she told Minho and he nodded as she got up and walked over to Newt.
"Well, we call them Grievers. Course, no one's ever seen one and lived to tell about it, but they're out there."
"You really scaring him on the first night?" Plune asked as she made it behind them, making them look up at her.
"Hey, love," Newt smiled, giving her a chaste kiss. "No, just answering the greenie's questions."
She hummed, "Ah-huh. Whatever you say, lover boy."
"Right, well," he looked back at the greenie, "that's enough questions for one night. Come on. Listen, you're supposed to be the guest of honor."
"Oh, well-"
"No! No, no, come on. Let me show you around."
"I- Really. I'm not-"
"Yeah," Newt said as he pulled the greenie up.
"Hey, Plune!" Alby called, making her turn to look. He motioned for her to come over.
"Well, I will let you handle showing him around, alright? I'll see you later." She gave Newt a quick kiss and the greenie a smile before jogging over to Alby.
"Alright, come on," Newt led him through the smaller groups gathered around the fire. "Over there, we've got the builders," Newt pointed out as Gally slammed another boy in the circle to the ground as the others cheered. "Very good with their hands, but not a lot going on upstairs," he pointed to his brain with a playful smile. "And then we got Winston. He's the Keeper of the slicers. And we got two med-jacks, Clint and Jeff."
"Oh, hey, what's up?" Clint asked as they walked by.
"Hey, Newt," Jeff smiled as they passed.
"They spend most of their time bandaging up the slicers," he chuckled.
"What about Plune and Alby?" the greenie asked as he looked over at where the two stood, talking and drinking.
"They're the leaders, do a bit of everything. Alby came up first, Plune a month after that."
