Princess Celestia had always loved dancing, ever since she had been a little filly. The beautiful music, the shine of the ballroom floor, the dim lights, the look of content concentration on the musicians' faces, the feel of her gown fluttering around her, the clop of fancy shoes against the floor, the eyes of her partner who varied from dance to dance. There was just something magical about it - nothing made her as relaxed as dancing to any kind of music with a skilled partner.

Centuries went by and she danced with thousands of ponies, both mares and stallions, sometimes with foals if she attended school dances for a change of routine. She became so skilled that she never found herself a match anymore, no matter if her partner was a professional or a natural talent - one just couldn't beat millenia of experience.

But that was of no matter, she could still enjoy it.

“May I have this dance, Princess?”

Celestia turned to look towards the voice with confusion written on her face. She was merely standing on her balcony and watching the full moon rise and light up the night sky - there was no music, no dancefloor and certainly no event going on.

“Pardon?” she asked and tilted her head, looking at the mismatched creature who had suddenly appeared beside her and had extended a paw towards her. He huffed and raised an eyebrow.

“This dance, Celestia. May I have it?” Discord asked again and glanced at his paw pointedly before his eyes returned to look at her, “Will you dance with me?”

Celestia looked at the paw, then at Discord's eyes again. She still didn't exactly comprehend the situation but that wasn't anything new when it came to Discord. So she smiled and placed her hoof on his paw.

“Yes.”

There was still no music. There was no ballroom. No dim lightning. No musicians. No gown. No fancy shoes. No skilled partner either because Discord really didn't seem to be able to dance gracefully with his mismatched feet. But there were the beautiful eyes of her partner.

And her partner was immortal. She had all eternity to teach him to dance.
