Chapter 9 - Adagio & Ash

Well, this was it. Matt would be meeting Ash's girlfriend, Adagio. She was probably the ugliest girl that Matt could meet. In fact, not even. If someone wanted to go out with Ash, then they must be very desperate. Seriously, desperate. Humiliatingly desperate. Laughable desperate. Depressing desperate. Idiotic desperate. Matt stepped up to the steps, and rung on the doorbell. He'd wondered how ugly Adagio would look. Probably worse than anyone Matt could think of. The door was answered, not by Ash, but by some Orange/Yellow haired girl (her hair was seriously huge). Matt found himself staring at the hair before he said anything.

"You must be Ash's sister I never heard of. Is Ash in there?" Matt said, being 50% serious. Was this his date? I mean, she was decent looking, actually, more than decent, but... she didn't seem too... innocent. In fact, she seemed the opposite. The way she carried that smile, like an evil smile. Something you wouldn't want to wake up to.

"No. I'm his girlfriend. I'm sure he's said something about me?" She asked, looking slightly more innocent, but... Matt couldn't believe it for one second. Something was definitely off about this girl. Was it her hair? Was something hidden in her hair? Her clothes? Her spiked collar? No... Matt finally figured it out. The thing that put him off was the smallest thing on her. The Garnet Pendant she was wearing. Matt simply thought about it for a while, before he was invited into the house by Ash, who popped out, while the girl waited in the dining room.

"Well? Isn't she hot?" Ash asked bluntly, Matt simply shaking his head in disappointment.

"Yeah, sorta, whatever. But... never mind. Why am I here? Aren't I intruding on your little date? Shouldn't I be somewhere else, like... coding?" Matt replied, completely dodging his question.

"No. It's a double date, duh!" Ash said, catching Matt off guard. Wait... that's not why he came here, Matt started to think. He'd been tricked, duped! This wasn't the real reason he should be here! He was supposed to be simply meeting Ash's girlfriend, and that's what it was supposed to be! This was a complete and blatant lie...

"But don't worry; Adagio told this girl all about you, and showed her a picture! She's really interested into you!" Ash said, but it once again, caught Matt off guard. HOW THE HELL DID SHE KNOW WHO HE WAS?! HE'D NEVER SEEN THIS GIRL BEFORE is what Matt wanted to say, but instead, the only chance he got was;

"Oh. Let's... have... dinner?" Matt said, seriously surprised at the fact that she could have done this. Maybe Ash had set the whole 'Matt being hooked up' with a girl. He simply shook his head. He guessed it was time to eat, eh? Whatever was inside had to be good. It smelled good. Whatever was going to happen, Matt had to screw this up. To save any chance he could have with Pinkie Pie. Wait, why was he caring about Pinkie Pie? Maybe he did have an interest? Who knew. Matt certainly didn't know anything right now. He was so unsure about everything. Hopefully tomorrow, everything would be cleared up. Who knew? NOT MATT. Matt walked in to the house, and the dining room, and he was introduced, by Adagio, to a blue girl named Sonata Dusk, apparently. Did he care about her, or Pinkie Pie? NO. He... didn't know anymore. NO. He knew his answer... Pinkie, of course! He'd just met this girl.

---(7:45) During the Dinner (7:45)---

"So, I was telling Sonata here that you were an amazing young person!" Adagio said, trying to break the 6 minute silence. It seemed to work, this time.

"Amazing young person? Seriously, who uses that unless you're an adult? What are you, thousands of years old?" This got a laugh out of Matt and Ash, but a nervous one out of Sonata & Adagio. They kept on arguing whether or not Adagio's language and word use was that of an adult for about 45 minutes, until Matt noticed the time. This would be a perfect opportunity for him to get out of here. This place... no, these girls. They'd made him feel uncomfortable. Not 'I'm so nervous' uncomfortable, but... 'What are you hiding?' uncomfortable. And now, he would launch his attack.

"OH MY. Look at the time, I've gotta get running!" Matt said, quickly getting the hell out of there. Before that could happen, the Adagio girl started singing for him to stay longer. He was entranced for a while, but his mind went back to Pinkie Pie. He couldn't stay. He'd need to be alive for her, tomorrow. And so, he broke out of their spell, leaving the family. Adagio's face was shocked, with horror. How had he broken out? she thought. And so, for the rest of the night, Adagio began to wonder back and forth; How did he break out of her spell?

---(At School)The Next Day (At School)---

"Hey guys. My friend's girlfriend tried to hook me up with her friend. Didn't go out to well, and I'm seriously glad." He said, his eyes drifting off towards Pinkie Pie. She simply smiled at him, which made him happy. He didn't love her. Or at least, he wasn't too sure yet. Did he? Or did he not? Who knew? Matt certainly didn't. He turned around, as a voice asked him something.

"Why didn't you want it to go well?" Sunset Shimmer asked, curious for his reasons.

"I didn't feel good around them. Seriously, I didn't. I'd rather date any of you than them. Not to say you guys are bad, however". Matt said, trying to redeem himself from the comment he made. Pinkie lightly blushed, though she wasn't the only one who blushed. No one noticed it, but Sunset Shimmer also blushed. It seems Pinkie wasn't the only one to have feelings for Matt.
