Seekers

Summary:

The Seekers' group chat from "Hide And Seek Was A Bad Idea..."

Notes:

Shenanigans.

This takes place in the 2008-2009 winter, but with the technology and social media of today.

Timeline & notes for this AU:
2005 - events of Cars 1. The Piston Cup is NASCAR's Cup Series, but NASCAR and the NFL are swapped around in terms of popularity.
2006 - events of Planes, but it's not as big a deal as it was in the movie
2008 - events of Planes: Fire and Rescue. Lightning, Bobby, Cal, and Brick meet Dusty at Cad's party at the Grand Fusel Lodge.
Sometime between Nov 2008 and mid Feb 2009 - the game of hide-and-seek
(Basically I wanted to add Dusty and the smokejumpers to the shenanigans)

 

The chapter titles in this fic will be the the ones they correspond with in the main fic.

(See the end of the work for more notes.)
