Bonding Time...I Think?

Happy stares longingly through the window of the shop, mouth dripping with saliva. The cat is almost licking the glass in hunger. It just hangs there in the window, begging him to eat it with pleading eyes. He can already taste that massive fish three times his size on his tongue. Happy wants to wheep at the injustice of its price: half a million jewels.Of course he doesn't have that kind of money!

Lily stares blankly at his campanion for the evening as he steadily beats his head against the glass of a fish shop, moaning about the unfairness of life. 'I know they want me to become better friends with Happy on the small hope that Gajeel and Natsu won' t fight as much if we get along, but we have nothing in common. This is a waste of time!'

"Is it really that impressive?" Lily asks curiously, giving the fish a disinterested look. There were bigger fish in Edolas, but he doesn't think mentioning it to Happy would be wise.

Happy rounds on him, eyes flashing in challenge. "Of course! Just look at it!" The blue cat throws his arms out, gesturing to the fish as if it was a grand prize on a game show. "But...but..." His eyes fill with tears, much to the alarm of Lily. "I can't have it!" he wails.

Lily stands there awkawrdly, not sure what to do. The shop owner comes out, clearly disgusted. Lily can't be happier...until the guy talks.

"Get out of here!' he demands, trying to shoo the two away like they're flith. "Get, now! This is bad for my business." Happy starts to protest, but the man's glare intesifies as magic springs to life from his hand. He aims at the two cats, eyes merciless.

Lily glares at him, but leads the heart-broken Happy away. 'Someone should put him in his place. Threatening us without a second thought like that for no reason...revolting.'

"I wish Natsu was here," Happy sniffs, looking glumly at the ground. "He'd know what to do." Happy doesn't notice Lily's slow smile.

'Natsu..huh?' Lily thinks about the loose canon and what he'd possibly do to someone like that. The cat smiled, the grin tinted with evil.

"I have a plan."

+...+

"You little-"

Lily and Happy dash out of the shop with the ginat, the owner tripping over the goat and camel the cats used in their plan. They strip off thier trench coats, clown noses, and fake mustaches so their wings are free and take off from the ground. The owner tries to shot them out of the sky, but his attacks falls short. In a last-ditch effort, he begens chasing the two on foot, slamming into people as he tries to push through the crowd while keeping the two in sight. It's not long before they lose him.

Lily and Happy collapse a short time later on top of the guild, thier wings dissapearing. Happy stares at the fish, drool sliding from his mouth. He sits down in front of it, mouth wide to take a bite. Lily gives a small smile at the other cat but frowns in confusion when Happy stops and looks over.

Happy looks between the fish and Lily, a pained expression on his face. It looks like he's being tortured. Lily waits patiently. Finally, he looks over to Lily. "You can have the first bite," he says like it physically hurts him.

Lily blinks. "Are you sure?"

"Of course," Happy insists, flinching at the thought. "Anything for my new friend. It was your plan anyway."

'Friend?' Lily shoves his face in the fish so Happy can't see the small flush of embarrassment. He rips off a mouthful, Happy digging in as soon as he sees Lily took a bite. 'Friend, huh?' He looks at the blue cat beside him and smiles. 'Why not?'
