Note: This fic is based on the brief animatic we saw during the hiatus between seasons 4 and 5. It's not necessarily canon with the actual events of "Make New Friends but Keep the Discord." Thank you!
A short, sweet, somewhat fluffy, Celestiacord story based entirely on the season 5 animatic we saw recently :)
"Announcing, The Smooze!"
Yes, the season 5 animatic clip showed us that there will be a Smooze episode! 
And it also interestingly showed us that there will be a dance/gala episode coming up...and that Discord will be there in a tux and top hat (cue fangirling)...and that Celestia seems pretty happy to see him when he shows up 
This story is one little potential scenario for how Celestia and Discord's interactions together might go based on reading a lot into that look Celestia gives Discord when he walks in, the flowers from season 4 (of course), and the fact that I just think these two are such a compatible couple 
Enjoy, and thank you for reading!
We're so close to season 5! I don't know about you, but I'm going stir crazy! 
Since I usually read Dislestia angst, this was a nice change
I swear my heart fluttered each time they did something cute :3 good job in making me squee
I'm sorry, but I need a link to the animatic like right now so I can start Fan-boying all over the place, may I please have a link?
I love these two as a couple of dorks. You achieved that here I think. And I really like how you play out on Celestia's chill and understanding side. Even though it felt a little to fast between them, this was pretty cute.

Animatic Clip
Here's EQD's post of it--it's the full Entertainment Weekly trailer (not the teaser). If you just want to see the animatic and want to avoid any other clips/spoilers, go to about 1:05 in :)
Seriously, for about twenty minutes after watching it, I basically just walked around laughing about The Smooze and saying to myself over and over again about Discord 'Omg he looks so cute in the hat!' I'm going to predict that ep as one of the best of the season, no question
OMG OMG OMG I LOVE YOU FOR MAKING THIS!
I like how you kind of eased these two into love over the course of your stories, it really feels more natural than any other dislestia fic I've come across so far. Just...wow.
OH! AND THEY KISSED!!!! THEY FINALLY KISSED HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
5765740 Calling it now, Pinkie X Smooze will be the next big ship to do, maybe it'll be a crack-ship, considering they were together on the stage for less than five seconds, but still. I just can't believe it, it's the freaking Smooze! I'm going to freaking love that ep.
5765575 Thanks, I'm glad you liked the fluffiness!
I've been squeeing ever since this animatic came out--I can't wait for this episode!
5765664 Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed the story, and thank you for your note about the speed
And I'm really happy the dorkiness came through--I was really going for that lol.
5765764 And I love you for your enthusiastic reviews
Seriously though, so happy you liked this! I haven't been able to control myself ever since this clip came out--I'm dying to see this ep! And I'm happy the love feels believable between them 
Shippy or not, as long as we have them in the same room like the animatic shows, I cannot wait for the new season to start and for this ep to premiere! 
5765778 I'm already looking forward to the fan art. Heck, if this ep is as good as it's clearly going to be, we'll probably get our fair share of fan fiction about it (I would LOVE to try writing that XD). Ugh, I just hope that ep is scheduled for some time relatively soon in the season!
Also, thanks for favoriting!
5765787 oh, and I'm not sure if this would technically count, but you might want to consider adding a 'sex' tag because of the last chapter and the joke with raunchy implications
But that's up to you!
5765804 Thanks for the note--I split the difference and upped it to a teen rating just in case
wooow Azure you are killing me today :DD

Episode is speculated to come out in May since it seems to be episode 7 in production order. Let's hope it is so. It's really all I'm looking forward so far, lol.

Thanks for the info, so glad it's relatively early in the line up

Aw, thank you, I'm so glad you enjoyed the updates! And nice reviews like yours are more than enough reason for new posts
Also there's the fact that I can't help myself when it comes to writing about these two XD I can't wait for this ep! I really hope they do dance, even if it's just a background thing 
Oh and thanks for favoriting!
The dislestia in this is awesome!
Although I'm a Twiluna fan and would have prefered that alongside discord getting close with Celestia, the quality and nice natural slow build to Celestia and discord getting together was so good, it was easy to ignore Luna in this.
I wish they would make the DisLestia part of this story into an episode. It would work well and be hillarous

Yeah, I just stuck with the Celestiacord/Dislestia for this because I wanted it to be a really short thing, but I’m glad you thought the relationship developed well. And thank you 
Even if it doesn’t go exactly like this, I at least hope they do something about Celestia and Discord in that episode—I’d even take some background ballroom dancing (though of course something on camera with speaking and a lot of obvious flirtation would be ideal!).
Thanks, I’m happy you liked it.
Oh and thanks for favoriting!
This episode was confirmed by staff to be fluttercord-centric, though
5773733 I'm sure there'll be plenty to read into the ep regarding any popular ships. This is just one Celestiacord-based take on how things could go.
5773733 Would you mind me asking where you heard that?
I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!!!
5774209 Thank you, I'm happy you enjoyed it! Also, thanks for the favorite and the watch!

And thanks for another favorite!
6173125 Thank you very much!
Romantic comedy is probably the main style I write, but it's important to me to make it something enjoyable and with some quality instead of just predictable shipping for the sake of shipping. And luckily, Discord and Celestia have so much chemistry that they practically write themselves lol. 
LOVE IT!!!!~~~~
