Fluttershy and her friends were investigating the Everfree Forest.
"Fluttershy what are we looking for again? Whatever it is, I don't think it exists.", groaned Rainbow Dash impatiently.
"A Luck Dragon! I heard it yesterday. I know it's here!", said Fluttershy quietly.
"Well sugarcube, what does it sound like? That might help.", said Applejack kindly. They then heard what sounded like a violin playing so sweetly.
"That's it! It's coming from that way!", she exclaimed, taking off faster than Dashie would. They all ran after her.
"Fluttershy, darling, you seem very excited. What is this about?", panted Rarity. But Fluttershy didn't answer, she stopped dead in her tracks. In front of her was the most beautiful creature she had ever seen.
There before them sat a, tall, fluffy, white dragon, not much bigger than Luna, who had his right wing out. It looked much like a giant harp, since instead of skin, strings were on the inner part of it. And his long, thin tail played the strings on his wing, making the sound. His head was covered in fur as well, with two horns on the sides, then he looked back at them with his big, blue eyes.
"Oh...my...gosh.", breathed Twilight.
"Hello! How are you all today?", he asked in a sweet and melodious, yet powerful voice.
"Hi...we're good. How...about you?", stammered Fluttershy.
"Oh I'm quite well, thank you! Would you like some tea?", he smiled.
"Yes please!", answered Rarity.
"Ok then, please do have a seat, girls.", he replied, getting a little red teapot and blowing on it with his blue flames. He then gave them all a cup and saucer before sitting down with his. "How rude of me not to introduce myself! I am Nick Braveheart the Luck Dragon! But you can call me Nick! And who might you girls be?", he said.
"I'm Fluttershy, these are my friends, Twilight, Rarity, Applejack, Pinkie, and Rainbow Dash.", smiled Fluttershy.
"You know something, you make me feel very comfortable.", grinned Pinkie, gulping down her tea.
Nick chuckled and said, "That's what Luck Dragons do. They bring you good luck and you always feel comfortable around them."
"So how many of you are there?", asked Twilight.
Nick laughed. "I'm the only one! I haven't seen another Luck Dragon ever! The rest were all hunted down and turned into rugs and stuff. Even after the princesses outlawed it! How's Luna doing by the way?"
"Umm...good. But how do you know her?", replied Twilight suspiciously.
"Were you her special somepony?", Pinkie asked excitedly.
"As a matter of fact, I was.", he smiled. He then looked at the sun. "You better get home, it's getting late. Come visit anytime!"
"We will!", exclaimed Rarity.
Twilight wasn't listening though, she was pondering on the fact that there was something Luna wasn't telling them. And she was gonna find it out!
The Luck Dragon and the Moon
Luck Dragons, Bushes, and Apples
At that moment, Celestia walked up. "Sister, what's wrong?", she asked.
"It's Nick, Twilight and her friends found him.", she answered, still crying.
"Is he hurt?", Celestia asked with a concerned look on her face.
"He's fine. It's just,...I want him back!", she exclaimed before completely breaking down into a gush of tears. Celestia put her hoof around Luna.
"I'm sure we'll find a way to get him back without alarming everypony.", Celestia said, comforting Luna.
"Alarming everypony?", Twilight asked with a confused look on her face.
"Most of Equestria fears all other dragons that aren't Spike. They think Spike is the only nice dragon in Equestria.", Celestia replied.
"But he's not! Nick is probably the sweetest dragon I ever met.", exclaimed Twilight.
"I know that, but until we figure out how to make Equestria comfortable with Nick, I'm afraid Nick remains in the Everfree Forest.", she said sadly. Luna cried even more at this.
Meanwhile, Applejack was walking home, a big bush following her.
"Are you sure this is a good idea?", Nick's voice asked from the bush.
"Well you can't starve yourself on biscuts, berries and leaves. You need a good home cooked meal. Granny won't mind.", she smiled.
When they reached Sweet Apple Acres, Applejack went inside first.
"Applejack's home!", shouted Applebloom, charging at Applejack and hugging her.
"Hey Granny, is it alright if I brought a guest to supper?", asked Applejack.
"I don't see why not!", she exclaimed happily, "Invite them in!"
"Nick, you can come in!", Applejack shouted out.
When Nick came in, Granny gasped. "Well bless my soul! Are you a Luck Dragon? Haven't seen one of those in a Long time!"
"Yes, mam. It's a pleasure to meet you. I am Nick Braveheart the Luck Dragon, but you can call me Nick.", he smiled, bowing with his wings spread.
"Wow! Miss Cheerilie told us all about Luck Dragons! She said they were all gone.", Applebloom said excitedly, taking a closer look at Nick.
"Go on and have ya self a seat! Tonight, you eat like an Apple!", grinned Applejack.
Twilight finally got back to Ponyville, and went to pick up Spike from Rarity's before going home.
"Twilight! How'd it go?", Rarity asked.
"Well, I made Luna cry, if that tells ya anything.", she sighed, "How's Nick?"
"Fabulous! Did you know that Luck Dragons can fly so fast, they can set off 3 Sonic Rainbooms in a row?! And carry things 3 times their size!!!!", she answered excitedly, "Oh, and Applejack took him to get something better to eat. Under all that fur, he's skinnier than a needle!"
"She whaaaatttt!", exclaimed Twilight.
The Luck Dragon and the Moon
Back at Applejack's, Nick had just taken a seat, when Applebloom started up again.
"Is it true that you can play music with your wings? Is it true you're not carnivorous? Can you fly?"
"Whoa there, sugar cube. Let him eat. We're having Apple Fondue.", smiled Applejack.
"It's ok, at least do one at a time.", grinned Nick, taking a spoonful of Fondue. "Firstly, yes I can play with my wings." He spread out his wings to show the strings. "And amazingly, I can still fly. And no, I am an omnivore, but the only meat I'll eat is fish."
"Fish? Like those little scaly things that swim? Eww...", replied Applebloom.
Nick laughed. "Aww, do you not like it? Hmm..this is good.", he said, devouring the Fondue.
"Have some more, Nick.", smiled Granny, spooning him more. Twilight stormed in.
"What the hay are you doing?! Did anypony else see him?", she exclaimed.
"Firstly, I'm beefing up Nick here, he's skinnier than a fiddle string for pony's sake! And secondly, I had him camouflaged.", she said firmly.
"And you! Why did you let her do it?!", she glared at Nick.
"I...umm..."
"Don't you dare speak to my Braveheart like that!" The princesses stood outside of the house. Luna was glaring at Twilight, while Celestia giggled.
"I'm sorry, Luna. But..."
"Luna?" Nick had gotten up from the table and walked to the doorway.
"My Dear Braveheart...you've grown, but you're still good looking.", blushed Luna, looking at Nick with tears in her eyes.
"And you're still as beautiful as the day I met you.", smiled Nick.
The others had arrived just as Nick was putting his wing around Luna. Rarity got out a handkerchief and started crying,
"So romantic!"
"Nick, remember that promise you made, many years ago?", Luna sighed, putting her head under his chin.
"The one where I said I wouldn't eat your cookies? Yeah, I snitched a couple.", Nick grinned mischievously.
Luna laughed. "No My Dear, the one where you said you would marry me. I still have the ring." And on her horn was a gold ring with a giant sapphire in the center. "Do you still feel that way about me?"
"Luna, My Dear, you know I do.", he smiled passionately. They then kissed a kiss so romantic, Rarity fainted.
The Luck Dragon and the Moon
After a couple of months of preparation, it was finally time for Nick and Luna's wedding. It took a while to get everypony calmed down after they saw Nick, but eventually when they got to know him they calmed down. Twilight's brother, Shining Armor even volunteered to be Nick's bestpony.
"My Papa's a nice guy, and I think he looks cute and cuddly with his white fur.", giggled Cadance, helping Luna get ready, and having just told Twilight that Nick was her adoptive father.
"Yes, I love him dearly. I'm happy. There's no other word to describe it.", Luna smiled happily.
"I'm so happy for you sister, but I think you're jumping the gun, you and Nick already have names for your foals. What were they again?", said Celestia.
"We only have 3! Nick Braveheart the Luck Dragon II, Stella, and Bella.", Luna retorted.
"There darling, you're ready!", smiled Rarity, "You better get going, don't want to keep Nick waiting." Luna was now dressed in a light blue wedding dress, had her mane tied up in a ponytail, and a blue wedding veil over her face.
Meanwhile, Shining Armor and his friends were helping Nick with final preparations.
"Nick, I don't know how you did it, but you're getting ready to marry one of the sister princesses, how'd you do it?", grinned Shining as he straightened Nick's bow tie and suit.
"There were no tricks to it. I guess it was when I got the nerve to ask her to be my special somepony, she took a liking to me.", the Luck Dragon smiled.
Finally, everypony was ready. Nick stood at the altar, along with Celestia and Shining. Then Luna walked down the aisle, followed by the Cutie Mark Crusaders tossing flowers. When he turned to look at Luna, his eyes remained on her till she came up.
"You look fabulous!", he said.
"Oh stop it...", she blushed, nuzzling him. His wings popped open automatically. Celestia smiled. After the vows, they kissed. Nick could barely pull himself away she had such a tight grip. A huge applause came from the crowd. Funny thing was, Rarity wasn't the one crying, it was Applejack.
"I'm so proud of you!", she sniffed. Nick gave her a big hug before he walked out of the castle with Luna. As they walked through the crowd, Luna whispered to him,
"Nick, I need to talk to you about something tonight."
"Yes?", he said with a listening look. Luna smiled as she said one word,
"Foals."
"This'll be exciting. Me, raising kids. I did it once, I could do it again!", he grinned.

The next day, Twilight was getting ready to leave for Canterlot, while her friends saw her off.
"What exactly are you going to do, darling?", asked Rarity.
"I'm going to have a talk with Princess Luna.", Twilight replied.
"Ya do know it's rude to go sticking your nose in the princess's business.", said Applejack raising a brow.
"I know, but I'm just curious. As to why Luna never mentioned anything.", replied Twilight, "It's like she doesn't want anyone to know about Nick."
"Well didn't you hear Nick, his kind were being hunted illegally. She's obviously trying to protect him. She loves him that much, darling.", retorted Rarity.
"Bye guys, I'm going to visit Nick!", said Fluttershy, flying away.
"All right girls I better get going. Bye!", sighed Twilight.
Back in the forest, Nick was napping, then he heard his name being called.
"Nicckkkk!", shouted Pinkie, along with Dashie, Rarity, Fluttershy, and Applejack. Nick yawned and clambered on down from his tall rock in front of the girls.
"Oh, it's you! I was afraid would forget about me!", he smiled, getting out the tea and biscuits.
"How could we forget about a cool guy like you!", exclaimed Rainbow Dash, who punched him in the side, resulting in her screaming out in pain.
"Yeah, I wouldn't recommend that, under all this fur, I'm rock solid.", he laughed, "Where's Twilight?"
"She's gone to talk to Princess Luna.", answered Applejack.
"I hope she hasn't gone to ask about me. She's a little sensitive about me, thinking if anypony knew about me, I would be in danger.", said Nick.
"Oh, she is. We tried to stop her. We're sorry.", said Fluttershy.
"It's not your fault. I just hope that Luna hasn't forgotten about me.", he sighed.
Meanwhile, Luna stood on a balcony overlooking Canterlot. "Oh my precious Braveheart, how I crave the sight of you by my side. The warmth of your fur. And I dream of your music that you play so sweetly.", she sighed.
"Princess Luna, I need to speak with you.", said Twilight walking in. Luna snapped back to reality.
"What is it you need?", she asked.
"It's about Nick.", Twilight replied, "We met him in the Everfree Forest."
"What is this, Nick, you speak of?", Luna asked.
"Nick Braveheart the Luck Dragon. I know you knew him once. Please, you can tell me.", Twilight went on.
Luna sighed. "Alright then. Nick and me were really good friends when we were kids. One day, he asked if I would be his special somepony, I couldn't say no. And that's the way we stayed. Until his kind started to get hunted. That was during my exile. Celestia did all she could by outlawing it and sent Nick into hiding. Now, he's the last of his kind."
"Well you don't have to worry, he's well hidden.", smiled Twilight.
"There's more to it than that.", Luna said with tears in her eyes.
