Italics are memories.

Gally, Aris and the immunes had gotten to the parking garage. Gally brought up his walkie talkie." Brenda, we're here. Where are you?" A bus drove in front of them. Brenda pulled back the window.

"C'mon, let's go." Brenda said.

"Ok, let's go." Gally said and the immunes ran into the bus. Aris helped them get on.

"That's everyone." Aris said.

"Wait, where's Thomas?" Gally looked at her.

"I thought he would be with you." Brenda's eyes went wide and started to leave." Wait! Wait here with the kids. I'll find them." Gally started to leave, and memories started to come back to Aris. Gally was leaving again, just like he did years before.

Aris was sitting down in the dark room, filled with bunk beds. He heard a door opening and he saw another Gally being pushed into the room. Aris came to Gally.

"What is it?" He asked. Gally looked at him.

"I'm leaving tomorrow." He spoke. Aris frowned.

"What?" He had tears in his eyes. "This early?" Gally nodded." You can't leave."

"I can't do anything about it." Aris suddenly hugged him.

"They can't." Gally wrapped his arms around Aris.

"Hey, it's going to be ok. We are going to see each other again, I promise." Aris looked up at him.

"What if you are wrong? And what if you are right? We won't remember each other. I won't remember that I love you."

"I will never forget. We will be together again, and we will remember."

"Gally, wait!" Aris ran to Gally as he turned around. Aris then grabbed his cheek and kissed him. Gally slowly kissed back, and they stopped. "I remember." Gally smiled.

"I'll come back. I promise." Gally left and Aris watched Gally run back into the building. Aris then went back to the bus, where Brenda was smirking.

"Great timing." Brenda said.

"Shut up." Aris said.

Minho kept on running until he saw Thomas and a guard. Minho attacked him and Thomas looked at his friend. They hugged each other.

"Is this real?" Minho asked, making Thomas smile.

"Do you know where Newt is?" Minho shook his head. They suddenly heard an explosion and saw the wall explode. They heard people leaving. "What is going on?!"

"I'll explain later. We need to find Newt." They ran through the hallways.

"Thomas!" Thomas turned around and saw Janson, holding Newt with the gun at the boy's head.

"Newt." Thomas softly said.

"Now, we are going to do this my way."

Aris and Brenda waited for the boys when they heard shouting. They saw Gally running towards them with guards behind him.

"Go!" Gally said, running in.

"What about Thomas?" Aris asked.

"We will find another way."

"I'm sorry Thomas." Brenda said, closing the doors. She then started to drive away. They drove until they got surrounded. "Stay here." Brenda told the immunes, giving them a comforting smile. She then left the bus.
