then we grew a little - the group, t (1/2)

They'll never know how they all manage to fit into Britta's brand new used Volkswagen bus (and trust them, Jeff spends plenty of time poking fun at that whole paradox), and Shirley will personally never know why none of them saw the pragmatism of taking her minivan, and Pierce would like to point out that he'll never ever know how he got stuck being accidentally strapped to the roof for the first couple of miles before Abed had the decency to notice that it sounded like someone was screaming because they were strapped to the roof of the car.

The point is, they've all been finagled into going to some protest that Britta's all whipped on, to save the redwoods or the everglades or some manatees, but it's not in Colorado and anything not in Colorado equals road trip. It's actually in California, apparently, which isn't that far, but since Abed and Troy want to stop at every single landmark that isn't directly related to the thriving metropolis of Greendale, and since Jeff will only stay in ( ... )

The Grand Canyon really is beautiful, though. They get there at sunrise, because Annie would have accepted no other time, and Troy doesn't cry a lot, his knees buckling so that Britta has to hold him up while he aggressively doesn't weep onto her Radiohead sweatshirt. They all take a photo - they manage to ask a couple of Spanish tourists to do it for them, and they realize that maybe Chang didn't screw them over that much at all - and everyone makes rabbit ears behind Jeff's head, literally everyone, including some random dude who'd just happened to be behind them for the picture. (It's still on all of their fridges in ten years, next to the math tests of their children and the quaint cake-themed magnets Annie found at a rummage sale and Abed's acceptance letter to AFI ( ... )

This made me laugh so hard and unexpectedly that I spat a little. The whole thing is sweet and lovely.
