George doing the pursuing in this version makes me so much happier than Zoey just showing up and instantly just becoming the de facto girlfriend.
Also, having Roxy be her friend gives her more of a support system... plus, there's more that you haven't seen that helps to make her a more full character.
Roxy still needs work, but she's a supporting cast member at the moment. If I have some actual Roxy stories in the future, I'm sure I can flesh her out a bit more.
