I woke up to violent shaking. I opened my eyes to see Luke standing over me, shaking me awake. "Jen, the doors are about to open."

I was still really tired, and didn't even feel alive. "Why do you call me Jen? No one calls me that." I slowly got up.

"I don't know, it just feels natural to me." We began walking together to the closed doors. Walking with him felt natural too, but I'd never say that out loud. Especially because I liked Newt. "I really feel like we knew each other before we were put here."

"What's up with you wanting a guitar?" I asked, ignoring what he said. I didn't want to admit it, but I definitely felt a connection to Luke that I didn't feel towards anyone else, and it freaked me out. "And why did you want to see Calum?"

"Because I remembered something."

"What did you remember?" I asked bluntly.

"Can I ask you something?"

Shuck, I hated this question. Why did guys always start off by asking that? Just ask the shucking question. "Sure."

"Do you all remember songs? Is there music in this...whatever you call it?"

"The Glade?" I asked. Luke nodded. "Yeah, there's music. But they make it up - Luke, no one remembers anything. Even songs."

"Well, I remember a song. And I remember Calum...I just wondered if he would remember." Luke looked to his left, where the Slammer was, and the Baggers were releasing Calum. Calum looked calm, and Luke walked toward him. I followed. "Calum."

Calum made a face, sending a death glare at Luke. "How did you know my name was Calum? I didn't tell anyone!"

"Calum, do you remember anything?" Luke asked.

"No," he said. "What the hell is going on? Do you know?"

"I don't know anything. But I know you look familiar and I'm going to sing a song I think you'd know." Luke said. "Simmer down, simmer down, they say we're too young now to amount to anything else -" He abruptly stopped. "Does that sound familiar?"

"No."

"Okay then..uh, she looks so perfect standing there, in my American Apparel underwear...and I know now, that I'm so down -" Luke stopped again. "Anything?"

Calum laughed mockingly. "No."

Gally walked up to us. "What was that all about?" He was glaring at Luke.

"What?"

"You were singing a song - and no one remembers songs here," Gally said. "Something is going on here." The siren blared again for the Box to come up. Gally looked at the three of us. "Oh yeah. There is something seriously shucking going on here. And I blame you three. And Thomas too, but he's probably shucking dead."

The doors opened, and Minho, Thomas, and Alby were all waiting by it. "Alby's been stung!" Thomas announced to everyone, and the Med-Jacks ran to take Alby away.

Shuck.

That meant Gally would take control. Even if Alby survived being stung, he wouldn't be mentally okay to be the leader of the Glade.

Okay so I realize I'm using Baggers a lot in the story and they weren't really a big deal in the maze runner.

If you don't know what Baggers are, they take care of dead bodies and stuff and also act as guards. Hopefully that helps.

Thanks for reading this far dude, that's pretty cool if you have
