It's Been An Adventure

"It's been an adventure." Charlie nodded towards the interviewer. "Getting to the end of filming definitely takes a toll on you. It does every time. With how much time you spend together." She looked over towards the others. Each wore a sad expression listening to her words. "You become a family." Charlie looked back towards the interviewer. "And to have it all end just so, I don't want to say suddenly because it's like a growing process, it sucks. It really does."

"But I mean look at the bright sides yeah?" The interviewer tried lightning the mood. "This is only the first movie, James Dashner made two more books."

"Yeah, but still the time apart is just going to be terrible." Ki agreed.

"Well, I know we alone can't wait to see that reunion. How close are you guys to ending the filming process?"

This time, Dylan answered. "Well, we just have a few scenes left so that will end our time together. After, the editors and directors have to put frame after frame together so the premiere still won't be for a while."

"And when do you shoot those next scenes?"

"Tomorrow actually." Thomas sat up beside Charlie. "Most of them will be filmed tomorrow."

"And so your travels home?" The woman looked among them all. "How exactly is that going to go?"

"Well Thomas, Will, and I will be flying back home." Kaya motioned between the three. "So we get a little while longer together."

Charlie sent Thomas a slightly sad look. Sure she was going to miss Kaya and Will and all the others, but there was something between her and Thomas. Some things that took place throughout their adventure that she just wasn't going to be able to forget. When they met, the nights he made her sleep, the kiss. Everything was just going to go away so suddenly. They would move onto new things, new movies, new shoes, all until finally they were able to come together for the next movie. Saying goodbye was always hard though, even if it was only for a short while.

"I'll be driving back home and so will Charlie." Dylan motioned to the two.

Ki nodded as well, "And I'll be tagging along through the airport."

"Well." The interviewer sighed, "I wish you all safe travels and the best of times you can have on these last few nights together."

Each cast member nodded in appreciation. Some were too sad to talk, others like Charlie pushed it through to seem as polite as possible.

In the end though, after leaving the sight of the cameras and heading towards the car waiting for them, each let it out. "Guy's this sucks." Dylan announced.

Charlie just chuckled shaking her head. "Yeah, I know."

"At least there are what, two more movies after this?" Kaya tried.

However, nobody was taking it. "It'll be a while Kaya."

Once inside the car, Charlie sat back as Thomas slid in next to her. "You know." He huffed. "For once I have to agree with Dylan. This, for a lack of better terms, sucks."

Seeing all of the looks on her friends faces, Charlie looked hopeful. "Come on guys" Each turned to face her. "We only have a couple days left together. We can't spend it moping around slowly building up to what's going to happen. We should live it up, make the best of the time we got. I don't know."

"I'm not jumping off of anymore cliffs Sanders." Ki warned.

This made them all laugh. "Okay, okay I promise. I vote that every night from now on we spend the night together."

"Sounds good to me." Thomas immediately agreed.

Of course, Dylan broke through their stare towards each other. "I ship it!"

"Oh shut up!" Taking off her shoe, Charlie whipped it across the car and into Dylan's chest.

Taking it off his lap, he threw it right back. "That's it! It's on!" And the next second, he was diving forward and the two were tackling one another on the limo floor.

Everyone just sat back watching the natural routine happen. Kaya chuckled leaning towards Thomas. "You sure you're going to miss this?" she joked.

Thomas sighed and crossed his arms. "Yeah... I am."
