After they had finished bringing all the boxes in from the car Matthew and Madeline decided to go meet the neighbors. Meaning that Maddie had decided that they were going to meet the neighbors and Matthew went along with it because that's what Matthew does.

"You don't just knock on the door and say hello just because you want to meet them." Matthew said.

"Perhaps under normal circumstances," his twin countered, "however we're just moving in therefore we change to the new-neighbor social protocol."

"But we're the ones that are just moving in. And even if we were the welcoming committee, I believe an offering of food is required as part of the opening. Example; 'We heard that you'd just moved in and so we figured that we'd bring over a cake.'" Matthew reasoned.

Madeline seemed to consider this for a moment before turning to her brother and asking him if he'd like to go back and bake a cake. To which he responded that he couldn't and that she wouldn't wait for the cake to be done anyway. By the end of this exchange they had reached the house and Madeline knocked on the door.
