Letting her magic fade, Celestia stands and watches the sun rise and the sky changes a from violet to pale blue. Turning on the spot she makes her way back into her room to begin her work in signing contracts and planning future meetings.
After a few hours of working, Celestia's mind began to wonder to last nights odd encounter with Discord. Still confused on what exactly happened, she turned her head to the bouquet still resting in the vase on the edge of the table. Sighing tiredly she gently takes one of the many flowers and takes one of the petals between her teeth, savoring the delicious taste of the petal. Humming she closes her eyes and begins to eat the other petals of the flower, but now that her eyes are closed she replays the events of last nights encounter.
After many petals and many unanswered questions later, Celestia opens her eyes again to find all that’s left of the beautiful bouquet bare of any flowers, only the stalks remain. Sighing in slight disappointment Celestia stands and stretches her tired joints before making her way to the door. Upon opening the door she again is face to face with a not-so-shy Discord holding what's looks to be a very long scroll, enough to even rival Twilight Sparkles weekly report scrolls.
"Ahem, why good morning Princess Celestia! Why, you're looking lovely today." Smiling Discord levitates above the carpet in front of her and starts to unravel the scroll.
"Thank you Discord and good morning to you also." Her smiling face slightly dimmed at seeing the scroll roll across the ground between her hooves. "May I ask what you, um, have there?"
"Oh this little thing? Just a poem I have written just for you!" Now grinning, Discord raises the scroll up to his face to begin reading.
"A poem you say?" Gulping nervously Princess Celestia again looks down at the long scroll and up at the now reading Discord. "Oh dear...."

That night Discord again opened the book "How to Win a Mares Heart in Three Easy Steps" and turns to the next chapter. Finding that it says "Step Two: Tell your Mare Beautiful Poems to Sway her Heart", humming in thought Discord begins to think up some poems that would surely reveal his hearts desire. Suddenly snapping his talons, an empty scroll and quill appears in front of him.
"I know just the poems that'll make Celestia completely Ga-Ga over me! Well, close to it anyway." Chuckling at the mental image, Discord sits down at his desk at begins writing the best poems he can think of to finally win Princess Celestia's heart!
~~~~~~~~~~~ 〜(^∇^〜）Present time（〜^∇^)〜 ~~~~~~~~~~~
"Ahem, let me begin with my first and personal favorite, poem 'Secret Admirer'" Smiling up at the confused Princess, he failed to notice that her eyes were not focused on him but over his shoulder. Looking back down at the scroll Discord begins to read.
"I've never been the type to say what I feel
So basically I keep everything inside
And with you it was no different
I want to tell you, believe me I've tried
But there's part of me that just can't take that chance
So I doubt that you'll ever know
Which may be fine with you, but it's hurting me
I choose not to show it though
I guess I'm your secret admirer
That name seems to fit just right
I don't know what I like about you
But you're on my mind, day and night
Maybe it's the way you look
So sexy I can't get enough
Or how you make me feel when you come around
I instantly forget all other stuff
Maybe it's the way you say my name
Or maybe it's the way you smile
Then again it might just be everything
Getting to know you seems worth my while
But I guess I'll never know what it is
My true feelings I could never reveal to you
I'll just admire you from a distance
I'm not sure what else there is to do"
"So what did you....huh!?" His grin quickly dimmed at seeing Celestia with neutral expression looking over his shoulder. Looking behind him he sees Princess Luna and two guards watching him curiously. "Um Princess Celestia?" he asks quietly and slightly saddened as he turns back to the silent Princess.
"Oh I'm sorry Discord, I was just um thinking about something." Truthfully Celestia noticed her sister and guards standing there watching and she became oddly nervous at the attention they were giving them. At this, Celestia didn't hear a single word Discord has said. "Would you like to repeat that?"
"Oh...no it's OK Princess, it was nothing really heh." Discord said quietly with a forced smile to cover up his disappointment. "I think I should go and leave you to your duties" and just like that Discord vanished into a puff of smoke without another word.
"My dear sister, I think you may have hurt Discords feels with not listening to what he was saying."
Looking back to her sister, Celestia noticed she had a disappointed expression before she shook her head and continued her way down the hall. Now alone, Princess Celestia sighs sadly at the rudeness she just showed and turns back to her room, forgetting what she originally wanted to do before running into Discord.
"I'm sorry, I swear the next time you show up at my door I'll fix my horrible mistake."
