Pampering Arc

## Chronological Information

The **Pampering Arc** was an arc that took place from December 2018 to January 2019. The arc follows Adriel and Lexi Harper as they navigate their new relationship and Adriel does his best to affirm his devotion to her. The arc ends with Irene Dumort's arrival at Mythical College.

## Summary

Adriel and Lexi start dating. Between shared moments and dates, Adriel struggles with feelings of inadequacy, which a meeting with Rhett Kalo and a conversation with Lexi help him overcome. Later, while out on a date, Adriel and Lexi befriend Taco Bell employee Jay Lane, and it becomes a running gag for them to refer to each other as parents and son. It isn't long after that when Adriel is permanently expelled from the college and finds a new home instead with a local gang.
