I woke up, to the sounds of grass swaying with the wind, unknown screams I think I heard before, and a footstep. Wait...there are no grasses in the Scorch. I am dreaming, aren't I?

I then heard the footstep again, only this time, it sounded a bit closer and louder. I definitely have to check this out.

I opened my eyes, and saw I wasn't in the rubble anymore. I was...back in the Glade...? I looked in front of me and saw...nothing but grasses and walls? What is the footsteps for? Did W.C.K.D. found us and put us back here in the Maze? So many questions bombarded my mind while I kept looking around for the others. They are not here either. So...who's making that footstep?

That answered my question when I heard a squeaky voice say "Hello?" I laid there in shock. I looked around to see who's speaking, only to see a 2 feet yellow bunny doll, all torn up and looked kinda creepy.

"Finally! You noticed me!" It said. Wait...it talks?! I just awkwardly stood there. I am asking myself whether if this is real or not.

"Are you not interested, dummy?" It asked, while mocking me a bit. I went back on focus. I then tried to get back to sleep.

"Don't you want to play a game?!" It said. Well, I hope it's not Hide and Seek in the Maze. That will be an idiotic and dangerous game.

"Now, what?" I finally replied with a hint of annoyance.

"Okay! Okay!" Look, just...can we play one game? Please?" It begged now.

"Why do you think that I should play your game?" I asked, still annoyed with it. Damn, I wish I can kick it down.

"Because if you don't, I'm gonna kill you like Freddy Krueger. I can kill you in your dream."

"This is a dream!" I said to myself as tried to process what it said.

"Freddy...who? Oh wait, KILL? You're gonna kill me because I didn't play your game?!" I complained.

"Exactly." It replied in a low voice. It then showed a giant grin full of sharp teeth. I backed away a bit with fear.

"Fine..." I finally gave up.

"Hooray!" It celebrated. "Okay, before we play, let me introduce myself." I just stood there, listening.

"My name is Spring Bonnie, but you can call me Plushtrap!" It introduced itself in an energetic voice.

"Plushtrap. That's a weird name." I told him my opinion. Before I could say anything else, Plushtrap interrupted me,

"Anyways! On to the game, which is simple!" It explained.

"All you have to do is collect all the balloons that is flying around the Glade! There are 15 balloons. If you collected 8 of them first, you will live! But if I collected 8 balloons faster than you did, I'm gonna brutally gouge your eyeballs and cram them up to your nose! We both have 60 seconds to collect 8 balloons. The first one to collect 8 balloons is the winner. You got it?" It finally ended what seemed like hours talking to me. I am bored but I got the mechanics.

"Yes, I did." I said while swallowing my own saliva, mentioning that there's a chance of Plushtrap eating my face.

"Okey-dokey! Good luck Thomas! Let's get ready in 3..." He started counting down. I prepared myself to run.

"2..." I took a deep sigh before running.

"1... Go!" It said before started running. The balloons then appeared from nowhere, like it spawned.

I then ran faster than I have been in the Maze to get the first red balloon. Plushtrap did so at the same time. I just saw that Plushtrap can run at the same speed as me! I ran a bit faster to get the second balloon I find. I then collected more and more balloons as Plushtrap got more.

Finally, I got 7 balloons. Plushtrap has the same amount, and there is only one red balloon left floating. We are going to fight over the last balloon.

I ran as quickly as I could, despite the risk of face-planting, ignoring Plushtrap in the process.

A few meters away from the balloon, I leaped high onto the balloon, grabbed it, and I landed on my side. I felt pain rushing through my body, but I'm going to check if it's worth it. I recounted my balloons in my hand.

"1, 2, 3, 4..." I started counting. That's when I just knew that I got 8 balloons!

"Wow! Congratulations! You won! And you have it all in exactly 60 seconds!" Oh, I forgot that there's a time limit. Well, that was close.

"And you have just received your greatest prize: You get to keep living!" Plushtrap added. Okay, guess I won't have my face bitten off.

I rose up after I felt pain when I landed, but it was definitely worth it.

Suddenly, everything became white and I scrunched my eyes due to total brightness...
