Neither, Thomas and Minho all the way. They have a better connection than either Teresa or Brenda. I felt like Brenda was only in the story just to be another "love interest" for Thomas and Teresa betrayed him, even if it was for a supposed good reason.

Thomas and Teresa. Thomas loving Teresa made him who he was, and then when he became all bitter over her "betrayal" my sincere fictional character crush on him has kind of dwindled. I don't see why he can't see that she tore her heart apart to save him; if that isn't love, what is? I feel like the author is making Thomas bitter for the story; it's not even freaking rational! Anyone who has a brain... but then, I could see how deeply it could effect Thomas, like I understand it. But if I had been in Teresa's shoes, I would have done the same thing.

Thomas and Theresa. They can speak through the mind. Brenda is just boring. And Theresa loves Thomas, she saved him.
Violet Armstrong
Neither, can we please agree on the fact that James Dashiner has NO IDEA how to write deep female characters?

Thomas-Brenda. What Teresa did was Not cool.
Teresa
Thomas and Teresa. Thomas knew Teresa first, they spent more time together! (BTW you spelt Teresa wrong. It doesn't have a h!) Teresa would die for Thomas and put her life before his.
Giorgia
I ship Newtmas
Persassyizdabest
Thomas and Teresa, I know the whole betrayal thing was hard on Thomas, but he knew her much longer and they had a connection even before the maze. I really like Brenda too though, she's super chill and cool, but idk, for some reason, I'm slightly more on Teresa-Thomas's side! :D
Natasha Gilbert
Thomas/Teresa. She was the first girl that made him feel something. and if it weren't for the testing of him being betrayed, they would have stayed together. I think his feelings for her were stronger, hence why the betrayal hurt so much.

Thomas and Brenda! I feel like Theresa is kinda annoying and so dramatic with Thomas whereas Brenda is super chill and just a fun person to be around!
chia
Thomas - Teresa! Duh! Thomas has (had?!?!) FEELINGS for Teresa. I get it that she betrayed him, but because she wanted to protect him! Plus, Brenda is annoying.
Aseel

At first, I think Thomas-Theresa is a couple. But after read the #2 I like Brenda more. I like the way she fights to survive and Brenda stayed with Thomas for the whole of the scorch trials and never betrayed him. Thomas can trust her more and she saved him on many occasions. Of all, I still like Newt
Anna
Thomas and Minho. :-) Also Thomas/Minho/Newt!!!
Carissa
Thomas and Teresa = They knew each other longer. She went a bit far on the betrayal. But even though she did betray him and it was an act to save his life, she truly cares for him. She can be a bit annoying though.
Thomas and Brenda = Brenda is a pretty nice, sweet, and loving person towards Thomas. She wasn't over dramatic about things like Teresa sometimes was. She was a bit clingy though.
So basically what I am saying is that Thomas and Teresa/Thomas and Brenda would both work. I'm not sure which pair is better.

I think if I had to choose 1 of them it would be Thomas-Brenda because Brenda stayed with Thomas for the whole of the scorch trials and never betrayed him. Thomas can trust her more and she saved him on many occasions. she tells him things that Theresa doesn't and she would never betray him.
Janey
Oh definitely Thomas and Teresa. A lot of people aren't understanding or dont know why Teresa betrayed Thomas. It's because Wicked threatened to kill Thomas. She loves him so she was willing to make him hate her so Wicked would spare his life. Brenda is cool and all but I just don't feel the connection between them. Also in the movie when Brenda and Thomas drank that weird beverage and Brenda kissed him, he saw Teresa and said "you're not her". Oh, and I don't think any of the guys should end up being together. I just don't see it for them. Sorry for going all out in this reply but I just feel so strongly about it 😂
Danica
Neither. Although I liked Teresa at the start, her betrayal act against Thomas went too far. Brenda was never a character I would like. I didn't see any reason for her to be in it.

Brenda. Teresa is a.. I'll spare the word. Thomas is too good for her. Always been.
Lilly
At first it was Thomas-Theresa because I found Brenda really weird and annoying ... but very quickly really started to like her (plus what Theresa did, I understand why and I feel for her but ...) so now I am all for Thomas-Brenda. :)
adeline :]
Thomas and Brenda theyre better

THOMAS AND TERESA
Sophia
I like Theresa, she was there since the beginning and she didn't want to do the things she did. She did it to protect Thomas. Even though he is way to valuable to loose for WICKED. But, Brenda is always so weird around Thomas. Holding his hand and kissing his cheek. And she knows Thomas and Teresa love each other, in a way.
Adin
thomas-teresa, they both met in a long time ago, just not like brenda, i supposed. But i like thomas-newt too.. Hahaha

Emily, Shadow's Girlie ୨୧ (semi hiatus)
I ship Thomas and Brenda. I feel like Brenda compliments Thomas and brings out his stronger qualities and helps him make better decisions. She's also supportive. Thomas and Brenda also just feel really good together. There was always a sort of "wall" between Teresa and Thomas, whereas Thomas could easily talk to Brenda.
Lily
Thomas-Brenda all the way. Teresa was such a little poopy the whole time. That betrayal act went TOO far. And thomas was hurtin bad after he saw her and aris smooch. Brenda was a little clingy in the beggining, but then she was just so much better than teresa. But i didnt read this book for the romance. And heck with thomas and brenda, here comes minho-jorge!!
Ira
THOMAS - BRENDA FOREVS
Brat V
i hate Teresa and LOVE Brenda. so Thomas and Brenda ALL THE WAY!!
Intisaar Hamze
Thomas-Theresa. They've knows eachother for. Long time and I'm drawn to the connection they have. it's also interesting to see Theresa do something she feels is the right thing to do but others don't agree with. It makes her character more complex. Plus I think that in the movie, Thomas genuinely was in love with her.
LemonlyLemons
Thomas and Brenda
emilia
newtmas!
but if i had to choose, thomas and teresa. don't get me wrong, i hate teresa, and i love brenda, but brenda was just a last resort for thomas.

Hahahaha I shipp Newt and Thomas is that weird?
LightningGirl12
I think it's obvious...
Thomas-Brenda!
Even though Teresa has a connection with him she still betrayed him! Even though she did that to save him that still doesn't matter for the others! Even Newt and Minho don't like her! She doesn't really care about them she only cares about Thomas! And Thomas cares about his friends always.
Why I chose Brenda? She WAS really clingy to Thomas in the books but not so much in the movies. But she is 1,000 times braver, stronger, and fearless than Teresa. She is also really kind to Thomas and NEVER betrays him. She is also by his side all of the time.

But, I quite enjoy the dynamics between Thomas and Newt too.

It's pretty hard to choose. On one hand, Teresa has been with Thomas since the beginning. On the other, Brenda seems to care about Thomas. I'm still not sure if Teresa is lying about the betrayal, and the ending seemed to hint that Brenda was in on some wretched plan. I'll have to read more into this series to get a good answer.
You just can't choose when you don't know if Teresa and Brenda are betraying him or not.

Chloe
At first, I shipped Thomas and Theresa, but after her betrayal I would have to say Thomas and Brenda. I know Theresa betrayed Thomas to save him, but she wasn't as understanding about his feelings afterwards as much as she should've been. I know the world was basically ending for them and everyone else, but they could still have conveyed enough emotion without having to talk it out. But they didn't, and even if Theresa had survived, I don't think Thomas would ever have gotten over the trauma of her betrayal. Brenda is more considerate and thoughtful, and even though her world is falling apart too, she still shows her affection for Thomas, with or without words.

I'm only on the scorch trials but Thomas and Newt

I ship Thomas and Brenda, Theresa could never give the support Brenda could've given him. Not to mention Theresa endangered Thomas and everyone else.
Christian
I ship Thomas and Brenda because when they were alone they kissed and then he started having feeling for Brenda. So in my opinion I ship Thomas and Brenda. And the only reason why I don't ship Thomas and
Theresa because just wants his blood and she try to kill Thomas too.

Well, before you read this, I have a warning.
SPOILERS
Teresa was a big pain in the second book!!! Brenda was a bit more interesting, but she was just a bit too...
Well... you get what I mean.
So, I guess Thomas will just have to die alone until I meet another character!

Ellia
I didn't love either girl much, so neither. I feel like the relationships are being forced. I think Thomas seems pretty cool solo. Just my opinion.
Cady
NEWTMAS ALL THE WAY BRO!!! They deserve to be together!🤣🤣🤣
Juan Pablo
at the end it doesn't matter because therese and brenda hide a huge secret from thomas .
Ben
I SHIP NEWTMAS and Teresa and Thomas, but I didn't really like Brenda's relationship with Thomas.
Anusha K.
I would say Thomas and Teresa since the ending changed everything about Teresa and I literally forgot all about Teresa's betrayal towards the Gladers.
I really like Brenda too but I would still say that Thomas and Teresa go well together.
Also, if you read The Fever Code, the book explains how close Thomas and Teresa were with each other in their childhood, and Brenda was just not part of that young childhood reunion. Brenda was only with Thomas in the Scorch and part of Death Cure.
And, of course, the movies, especially The Death Cure... that truly proved how smart and kind and trustworthy Teresa was at that moment when she saved Thomas' life towards the end of the movie.

I ship Brenda and Tommy. Hate me if you want. I CAN'T FORGIVE TERESA!! I'm sorry! I was totally shipping Tommy and Teresa before, but then I read Scorch Trials and just started hating Teresa. Then I shipped Tommy-Brenda, they just felt better, more normal and the loving kind of relationship. Even if Brenda wasn't actually Tommy's girlfriend. (I think? Haven't read all of series, on Death Cure though and crying my eyes out at page 250. PLEASE TOMMY PLEASE!! :'c) Hate me all you Thomas-Teresa shippers, but no. Teresa will never be forgiven by me.

Neither.....Feeling weird for both

I ship Thomas with me hehe <3
Aldo Madrid
I don't trust Teresa, that's why I prefer Tomas-Brenda.
Williukea
Thomas and Aris. At the beginning I had a thought that the books will end up in a huge plot twist and it'll be Thomas and Aris while Teresa either die or Rachel will actually be alive and she'll end up with her.
But seriously, I think he won't forgive Theresa for what she did, but Brenda has some plot twists in her too. Or maybe Rachel will be alive actually and end up with him. I don't know and I can't wait to read 3rd book

Julia
OH HECK NO NEITHER. Teresa's betrayal act went TOO far and after that I COULDN'T EVEN TRUST HER. Except I DO hate Brenda LESS. I feel that she wouldn't risk her life for Thomas even if she likes him. I can just tell. But at least she isn't a mean she-devil like some character I know...
But I DO ship Thomas with....drumroll please *bumbububbumbumbum.....MINHO!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thomas' connection with Minho is by FAR the strongest connection I have seen in the Maze Runner series. They are best friends (along with Newt) and I feel that Thomas can fully trust him and Minho would definitely risk his life for him in a second. I just love THOMINHO <3

Riley Pipers
I ship for Thomas-Brenda!!
Why?
Even I can't explain it for myself but I hate Teresa.
Even in the maze- I don't quite sure why Teresa's character doesn't sound appealing to me to begin with.
She's too boring, and don't have much a of humor. Yah- I don't remember her tells a funny joke.
But Brenda, On the other hand is the Opposite.
She might have secrets too like Teresa, but she's kind of cheerful. Not all gloomy like Teresa.
There may be times she was mad at Thomas, but Brenda never sulks, nor pushed Thomas or keep her distance. She's confronts and never hides her true self.
I like Thomas having happy thoughts when he was with Brenda.
I enjoying finding Thomas here is having comparing between the two. Even at first he's totally with Teresa.
But Hey! We have all first love. Or we can say it's not really love but because we were young, we skip into things that we thought that were right.
I would like to say, BRENDA ALL THE WAY! because I found Tommy is much happier with her. that's it.
