After crying for endless hours, Teresa finally decided to go home and get some sleep. But she really didn't know where home was anymore.
The only place she had to crash, well, she shared it with Thomas...and she was NOT sleeping there tonight.
Teresa looked to Newt and Frypan. "I can't ask them," she thought to herself. So, Teresa waved goodbye and headed for the woods. She decided to lie down next to a large tree.
Teresa laid her head on the rough bark, and looked up at the stars. She couldn't get her mind off of him. "He's all I ever cared for," she whispered to herself. With that thought, she closed her eyes, and slept the night away.
Thomas was with Minho, explaining what had happened. "Not sure that I believe you shank," said Minho. "What! Min, I'm telling the truth. I love Teresa and I would do anything to get her back." Thomas said sitting down. Minho looked away from Thomas, "well, I know that Teresa would die for you over and over, but I just don't think you would do the same. I mean, when we thought she had died, you practically celebrated shank. That doesn't sound like love to me," Minho made his point and walked away.
"TERESA!", Newt screamed. Teresa ran back to camp, trying to locate Newt. "What you shuck face," she said, out of breath. "WE'RE OUT OF LOGS! TERESA I CAN'T HAVE MY CAMPFIRE TONIGHT!", he whined. "Geez Newt," she laughed, "I'll get it you little baby. Man up will you, " Teresa stuck her tongue out at him, and he returned the gesture. "Thank you Ree Ree," he teased. Teresa flicked him off before running back to the woods.
She gathered some logs, and decided to sit down for a while. "I have been running around for 5 hours," she joked with herself. After a little nap, she decided it would be best to get back to Newt.
Thomas had asked Newt to send Teresa for logs. He needed his plan to work, and for his plan to work he needed time.
Teresa had returned and was hanging out with Frypan, "I'm just saying, Group B had some pretty girls," Frypan said. "Be grateful for what you got," Teresa kissed his cheek and then ran off to help Newt.
"Hey Newtie," she teased. "Shut up you shank, I'm very stressed out." Newt ran his fingers through his hair. "Calm down, its just a campfire, what are you even stressing about." Teresa put a hand on his shoulder. "I was kinda gonna ask someone out tonight," Newt said shyly. "WHO? IS IT HARRIET, SONYA-" Newt cut her off, "minho." Teresa looked confused, but then hugged him and started jumping up and down. "YESSS! MINEWT IS HAPPENING!" Teresa giggled. Newt blushed, but was then relived that Teresa supported him. "I always knew you two had a thing for each other, " she playfully punched him in the arm, and then walked away.
"You know the plan right," Thomas asked Minho, Newt and Frypan. "Yep, now can we please just get back to the campfire you piece of klunk?" Frypan whined. "EXECUTE the plan Fry, otherwise this lovestruck idiot will lose his mind, " Minho replied. With that said, Thomas prepared his surprise, while the others returned to the party.
---at the campfire---
"Teresa, I'm almost out of graham crackers! Can you go get them for me in the kitchen?," Frypan asked. Newt and Minho smiled, knowing what she was walking into. "Sure you lazy piece of crap," she retorted. Teresa went to the dining hall, and made her way to the kitchen, in the back. When she reached the kitchen, she was confused.
There, in the middle of the room, sat a candle-lit dinner for two. Teresa looked around, but no one was there. It was hard to see, but she managed to find the light switch.
"Don't do that, I was trying to set the mood," Thomas whispered. Teresa jumped, scared to death. "What the hell, Tom. I thought I said I wanted some space." Teresa had tears forming. She reached for the door, trying to get out, but Thomas stopped her.
He grabbed her waist, and turned her around so that they were facing each other. Teresa avoided eye contact, but Thomas couldn't look away from her burning blue ones. He let go of Teresa...
and got down on one knee.
