The arc goes like this:
>Lyra and this guy meet Ash and Dawn>Lyra asks Dawn if she's dating Ash, says that if she doesn't want to, Lyra's into him>Whole cuckery ensues with Lyra trying to pair Dawn with that guy>But then he shows that he's not such a weak nerd after all! Lyra realizes she should have given the nerd gentleman a chance, as he can also be cool! She asks HIM to become her traveling companion!This was some Jake Goldman-level writing.
