By lunch time, Nick was very well rested, despite Nicky having tugged on his ear with his teeth the whole time. At first Luna let it go, but after Celestia mentioned the fact that Nicky could develop his taste for the wrong kind of meat like this, so Luna had some fish brought in for him. After Nicky had devoured 3 whole fish, Nick woke up.
"Do I smell fish?", he asked excitedly.
"Yes, your son got hungry.", Luna smiled, handing him a plate of fish with her magic. Nick kissed her cheek before eating his fish.

"Of course! At least stay for dinner!", Nick grinned.
"Don't worry, Papa! We planned on it!", smiled
