A/N I haven't yet watched season 4 of Fairy Tail so don't expect any characters passed season 3.

"Natsu! I cooked a fish for you!" Happy said displaying a very large fish on an even larger plate. He held the dish up to Natsu and struggled under the weight. Happy's secret plan was about to unfold.

"Ooooh!" Natsu said excitedly, "Is this for me Happy?"

"Aye, sir!" Happy said. Natsu reached down to take the plate from Happy and placed it on the table. Happy breathed a sigh of exhaustion and rubbed his aching arms. But the pain would be worth it if he got those tickets.

"Ooh! Thanks Happy! Itadakimasu!" Natsu said clapping his hands together. He then ripped open the fish and started eating greedily with his fingers. Natsu then looked up with a big grin. "It's hot and spicy! Wow I didn't know you could cook, Happy. This is really good!"

Happy shrugged with his head bent low. He felt a tiny bit of warmth in his heart from the compliment but on the outside, he was sad. He had put in over a hundred chillies and Natsu didn't seem to notice much. Happy looked at his nakama's face and watched him stuff himself full of chilli fish. Happy sighed. A fire dragon slayer obviously didn't mind hot food. It was probably just like eating fire.

"Would you like a drink to accompany your meal?" Happy asked in a very waiter-like tone.

"Ok," Natsu replied, his mouth full of fish.

Happy flew over to the bar and picked up the drink he had prepared earlier with the help from Mirajane. She winked at him as he picked up the drink. Happy smiled and flew back over to Natsu.

"Voila!" said Happy.

"Arigato," Natsu replied taking the drink. He stared into the glass and watched several bubbles pop in the cloudy mixture. "What did you put in this?"

"Happy's secret recipe!"

"Is it poisonous?"

"NO!" Happy said with aghast. He would never dream of killing Natsu. Trying to make him cry was hard enough for Happy. But he did want those tickets.

Happy watched as Natsu gulped down the contents of the glass. His nakama's expression turned from delightful to a slightly sickly colour. Natsu spluttered out half of the drink, drenching Happy in sticky liquid.

"How is it?" Happy asked. Before waiting for an answer, he licked a bit off his paw and grimaced. Lemons and salt were extremely tart! Even though Happy had only had a taste, tears were coming to his eyes already. He wondered how Natsu could possibly drink a glass and not show any signs of tears.

"This is disgusting Happy! Natsu said honestly. Natsu tossed the glass aside and continued to eat the fish.

Happy sighed. At least Natsu had enjoyed the fish. Even if he hadn't cried, Happy's cooking skills had been complimented.

"I feel all fired up now! Come on! Let's go fight Erza." Natsu said jumping out of his seat. "Thanks for the meal!"

"Aye, sir!" Happy said, his mood instantly cheering up.

Although Happy had planned on making Natsu cry, he had made his friend happy. And although Happy desperately wanted those tickets, it was much more satisfying to cheer his nakama up than make him cry. Happy grinned and flew off after Natsu to find Erza.

A/N This chapter is a little short but I'm not good at writing long things.

Lemonade and salt is a really interesting flavour... I've had it before with two of my friends. Wouldn't recommend it.

Although I've said I have lots of ideas, more would be very helpful!

Thanks for all the reviews and if I knew how to reply to them I would. They made me very happy.
