The foxes make the mistake of going to an arcade one (1) time but nobody has fun because andrew is literally unbeatable at air hockey
To expand on this- success at air hockey requires 2 things: 1) the ability to protect your own goal and 2) the ability to redirect the puck to your opponents weakest spots. This is literally what andrew is freakishly good at in exy and he has lightning reflexes and bouncing the puck off the sides of the table is just like bouncing an exy ball off the court walls. Of fucking course he is the undefeated air hockey champion.
Nicky probably zooms to the air hockey table and is bragging about how hes pretty good at it, he and erik used to play it all the time in germany. Maybe he and aaron play a few rounds, but eventually andrew decides to knock nicky down a peg and steps up to the plate. Everyone is a little surprised that andrew gives enough of a shit to actually play. Nicky is just happy andrews interacting with them so hes game, maybe jokes about going easy on andrew since its his first try.
Game begins, nicky serves the puck over to andrews side and so quick you cant barely see it, andrew just darts his arm out and sends the puck clattering straight into nicky’s goal. Nicky cant score a single point on him and the game ends 7-0.
This gets the attention of the others and so now everyone has to try and beat him. No one can even come close to beating him, and andrew is actually kind of sadistically loving beating everyone? Not outwardly, like hes totally trying to play it off as his normal disinterested self, but neil and renee can tell that he’s actually engaged in this.
Finally Kevin is like this is stupid i bet i can beat him following kevins flawed logic that any game that isnt exy should be a walk in the park for him because exy is the Greatest GameTM in the world and kevin is The Best exy player in history thus he should be able to handle a silly, simple arcade game.
Andrew clenches his jaw at this, rolls his eyes to look at neil and says “pick a number 1 through 6”. And kevin doesn’t care for that At All because by now he knows about the time andrew told wymack to pick a number and then that was how many goals he let the other team score. He knows andrew is toying with him and he cant stand it. Neil says “2.”
Sure enough, andrew lets kevin take two goals without even moving to block them. And then he shuts that goal Down. Kevin gets so riled up, he rage quits. Andrew uses all the tickets he won off the others to get shitty arcade prize candy much to Kevin’s chagrin. No one ever makes the mistake of challenging him to play air hockey again (at least not until the new foxes come around and naively disregard the OG foxes’ warnings). Neil swear he saw a the barest twitch of the corner of andrews’ lips upon defeating kevin but it could have been a trick of the light. The end.
