2000 is the year vic started 'dating' and mating with wilbur. Losing his virginity lead to him laying his first egg too (which was miscarried) (which of course made him find out he's intersex). He felt very instinctually broody this year and was overly attached to will's sibs that hatched in august. Many crazy things happened during his time being 17 which lead to him being erratic and insufferable at this stage.
