What would happen if the foxes all went on a road trip, maybe after Neil’s sophomore year? Like in a mini-van? Sounds disastrous lol
not at all! I think everyone would have a great time. Neil has been all over the country, but not under the best circumstances, so the foxes have the brilliant idea to replace those memories (this was briefly mentioned in the books with Andrew on the bus so! I’m counting it as absolutely canon)
Andrew drives because he can’t otherwise handle so many hours in a cramped space with these assholes. Neil, Nicky, and Kevin alternate sitting shotgun (Neil does the majority of the time, but he also wants to spend time with Matt and the girls in the backseat! Andrew doesn’t care... much)
Neil pretty much decides most of their trip, pointing out places he’s been. The foxes stop at almost every single one, determined to erase the memory of him on the run and rewrite it with their own shenanigans. He also just calls out places or stops at random, anything that draws his interest. Andrew indulges his whims, and pulls over in the middle of nowhere anytime Neil wants to walk around and explore a bit.
Matt is co-navigator, helping Neil decide on some places that would be nice to spend the day in. He buys a dumb souvenir every time they stop somewhere Neil hasn’t been. He and Nicky also make sure that they get as many pictures with Neil in each of the places (new or old) as possible. Kevin also demands they stop in a few places, mainly historical because he’s a nerd! He rambles on about the history of the town and the architecture, and most of the foxes tune him out. Neil finds it strangely endearing and let’s him infodump. Andrew has upped his percentage by 50 but indulges this too, bitching under his breath about all the useless shit he’s never going to be able to forget.
All the foxes take pictures together—yes, including group photos! Neil and Andrew get a few with just them, mostly taken by Allison when they weren’t paying attention. Renee has been tasked with printing these pictures out anytime they stop at a CVS (it’s a surprise for Neil. He cries when they show him)
Aaron didn’t want to come, but Allison dragged him by the ear. He’s in for a surprise when Katelyn meets him at one of their stops and they spend the day together. I’m thinking a national park? Maybe somewhere with a beach. Neil had texted her saying where they would be that day, and Katelyn had come out to steal a day with her boyfriend. She doesn’t stay with them for long, but it was a really nice gesture. Andrew ignored her the whole day
Dan and Matt take an insane amount of cheesy, couple-ly pictures, rivaled only by the amount Matt and Neil take. Allison and Renee also have a fair amount, but they aren’t dating yet
