She walks in a few moments later, looking concerned. She moves towards the door, tapping on it gently, and says, "Babe? What's wrong?" Another pitiful sniffle answers her, and she turns sharp eyes on Neil. "What happened?"

"I jokingly said I was never held as a baby and then Matt locked himself in his room."

Dan sighs heavily, squeezing the bridge of her nose, and says, "You are going to give him a stress ulcer."

"I mean, there is a chance I wasn't held as a baby. We really didn't do hugs in my family." They hear a third pitiful sniffle followed by a low sob.

"Neil?"

"Yeah?"

"Go take a lap."

-the foxes invite abby wymack and bee -wymack didn’t want to go but abby and bee force him to

-wymack sits in the shade and angrily drinks vodka everyone: wymack it’s 9 am wymack: it’s never too early for alcohol with you yahoos

-bee brought her hot chocolate everyone: bee it’s 40 degrees C please bee, unaffected, sipping her drink: and?

-abby tries to stop the foxes from doing reckless stuff but wymack stops her (’if they break their necks it’ll build character’)

-aaron brings katelyn along -she helps renee wake everyone up for the sunrise -expectation: katelyn is a disney princess and has flocks of wild animals obeying her every command -reality: katelyn has almost as many bug bites as kevin (she doesn’t complain about it as much as him though)

-chicken fights in the lake are definitely a thing they do  -dan and matt win every time. without fail. every time.  -although renee and allison have come pretty close to destroying bilds -the twinyards have to sit out bc they’re too short (the water level goes up to their noses where it goes up to matt’s chest) so neil pairs up with kevin -you’d think they’d make a good team but kevin and neil are too antagonistic and they have two completely different outlooks on how to destroy the other pairs -they always fall within the first 30 seconds, whether it be because another pair crashed into them or kevin threw neil into the water out of sheer rage

-dan and matt brought a couple other non-exy related things to entertain them, including but not limited to a frisbee -they coax all the foxes into an aggressive game of catch -they make a huge circle with like 4 metres between each person but as time goes on it degrades into a sort of square with foxes sprinkled inside and outside said square -it goes pretty smoothly for about ten minutes before the foxes start yelling at each other

kevin: aaron how could you not get that that was right to you aaron: kevin i’m 5 fucking feet tall how do you expect me to catch something your 6 foot tall ass throws 5 feet above my head kevin: you fucking j u m p— nEIL YOURE SUPPOSED TO THROW IT F L A T  neil: i- kevin: shut up and get the fucking frisbee neil, shimmying up a tree: i hate this f u c k i n g family

Yesss!

who makes the bed: Neither (Dan tried the first few times, but then gave up, and whenever Matt does he jumps onto the bed and just messes up the blankets again)

who wakes up first: Matt (He’s a morning person and always wakes Dan up with a fresh cup of coffee)

who has the weird taste in music: Matt

who is more protective: Dan (Matt may be have the boxing training but Dan will fight someone in a back alley)

who sings in the shower: Matt (he’s not great, but he doesn’t care)

who cries during movies: Both? Yes, both

who spends the most while out shopping: Matt (he likes his hoodies)

who kisses more roughly: Dan (she knows what she likes and Matt is always down for anything as long as its with her)

who is more dominate: Dan (and Matt loves her for it)

"Hmmm," Neil responds, flipping aimlessly through the channels. "Sometimes Andrew looks like a potato, but like in a sexy way."

Matt mulls Neil's words over in his head for a moment before asking, "How can a potato be sexy?"

Neil shrugs, stopping on an Exy game.

"Have you met many sexy potatoes in your lifetime?"

"Matt?"

"Yeah, buddy?"

"I was joking."

Matt's eyes light up and a slow, amused smile spreads across his face. "Oh! That makes more sense."
