"And so, this is the gym, where my friends are currently. Would you like to meet them?" Twilight asked, Matt unsure of what he should answer. He'd recently moved to Canterlot, and started attending Canterlot High, and already, someone was trying to be his friend. From his past experiences, he wasn't sure if she was being 100% honest. Either way, it looked like he wouldn't have a choice. He agreed to see Twilight's friends, knowing it's something that he'll regret.
"Fine. Let's make it quick." Matt said, wanting to get this over with. Twilight didn't appreciate his attitude, but she would have to put up with it anyway.
"Howdy, Twilight. Ah reckon that's the new kid yer showing around?" Applejack asked her, only wanting to know for the sake of knowing.
"Yes, Applejack. I thought it'd be great for him to meet my friends, and to make some here at-" Twilight started, but was rudely cut off by Matt.
"I. Don't. Need. Friends." Matt rudely said, denying the chance to even be introduced to the ladies.
"Ah reckon you won't get any with that attitude" Applejack said, almost as a comeback to his being rude to Twilight.
"Yeah! Friends are awesome!" Rainbow Dash added on to Applejack, furthering Twilight and Applejack's point.
"Dear, you won't have any with such an act towards friendship." Rarity commented.
"Yeah! Friends are lots of fun!" Pinkie Pie added, being the last one to add anything.
"Whatever. I'm just trying to get through high school, learn a bit about code, science and mathematics, then be done with it." Matt replied, shooting down all of their offers.
"I used to be like you; I had no friends, and I didn't want to make any. Then I learned how magical friendship can be." Twilight said, hoping to convince him to become their friend. Unfortunately for her, it didn't work at all.
"I have a friend. That's pretty much all I need!" Matt said, starting to be annoyed by their reaching out towards him.
"Don't you think you should always be making more?" Pinkie Pie asked him, attempting again.
"What's worth more? 1000 friends who don't really mean anything, or 1 friend who's your best friend?" Matt asked her, pushing heavy things upon her, metaphorically, of course. And with that, Matt dismissed himself from the gymnasium. And so, it was time for lunch, seeing as the bell rung. He opened the door, not knowing what to expect. However, it seemed pretty average to him. And so, he got his lunch, and sat down at a table by himself. He just ate his lunch, and starting to think about Black Holes, and whether normal Vacuums (scientific vacuums) were miniature black holes or not, and whether they sucked in light. He thought about this for a while, until the 5 girls he saw earlier were banging their trays onto the table in some sort of rhythmic pattern. He didn't even know what to think of it, until somewhere, somehow, music started playing, and they were all suddenly... moving around the Cafeteria, and singing. Did this happen all the time in this school? Hell, how should he know. He just continued to think about Science.
---Later(Fixing the Gym, when Snips/Snails ruined it)---
Matt walked by the gym, and noticed that people were fixing it. Something must have had happened, but he was starting to wonder... what the hell had happened? He wasn't in the mood to find out, but he helped out anyway. He had no plans after school, so he saw no reason not to. He started to help the others clean up the gym, when the pink-haired girl he'd saw earlier had went up to him. She had continuously bothered him, until he urged to talk. Matt, however, didn't mind her bothering him. She was the closest thing to a friend right now, and he realized that, utterly admitting defeat.
"I... admit defeat." Matt had said, realizing it was fun to be around her.
"Huh?" Pinkie asked, wondering... why had he said that? Did he want to be her friend?
"You're fun to be around. I admit defeat. Would you like to be my friend, Pink Haired Girl?" Matt said, expecting her to deny him. He was used to denial. Denial and loss.
"Sure! Sounds like a lot of fun!" Pinkie Pie had said, really happy to be his friend. Shortly after, the Mane 6 (except Pinkie) found Matt and Pinkie, and promptly attempted to leave Matt alone.
"Come on Pinkie! I'm sorry for her bothering you, dear" Rarity said, but the answer she got was immensely different than the one she expected to get.
"Nah, it's cool! She's fun to be around!" Matt said, surprising everybody.
"Wow, I never thought I'd hear those words come out of your mouth" Rainbow had said, not easing the new tension at all. Everyone, even Matt, had stared at Rainbow Dash as if she just said Gravity made people fall up. A reaction no one was expecting from her, Applejack face palmed. And so, the rest of the 2 hours was spent fixing up the gym, and getting to know Matt more. Eventually, the gym was all fixed up, and they all had to get ready for their "Big Night", and so they went to the Carousel Boutique. Rarity had dresses for all of them, except for Matt, of course, who just stood there.
"Well, have fun at your big night!" Matt said, turning, ready to leave.
"You're not coming with us, dear?" Rarity asked, hoping to hear that he was.
"Nope. I've got coding to do." Matt said, eager to get back to his life's work. Or... what he wishes was his life's work. Unfortunately, it wasn't. He wasn't getting paid for it at all.
"If she were to have an outfit ready for you, would you go?" Applejack said, and Rarity caught on.
"Sure. But she probably doesn't even-" Matt started, but stopped after Rarity pulled out an outfit. He couldn't get out of it. Until he found a solution, that is.
"Ha! I found a way to get out of it! I'm not going without a date, so I'll see you all later-" Matt started, happy with himself, for making a loophole.
"You can just go with me, silly!" Pinkie Pie said, in more so of a happy to have him go tone, instead of a happy to be with him tone. Matt slightly blushed, but Rarity noticed it.
"Uh... I can't get out of this anymore, can I?" Matt asked, already knowing the answer.
"Nope!" Said the six, including Twilight. It seems he would be going to the Fall Formal with Pinkie Pie. Was he upset at this? No, not at all. He was perfectly fine with it. In fact, some could even say he was more than perfectly fine with it. Either way, he'd be going, no matter what. Well, he wasn't prepared to be with Pinkie, but even more so, he wasn't prepared for the events that would be happening at the fall formal.
