Writing in another point of view was weird, but fun. But I wasn't really sure how to, so I'm sorry if anyone read this and hated it. Well, that's if anyone even bothered to read this, that is. It's unedited, and too short a chapter I think, but right now in the middle of exams, I'm too lazy to think. Instead, I'll go read some other stuff to cheer myself up :)

Chapter 2

Happy was a flying, talking cat. Not something you'd see often. He was young, at the age of 7 year old – no, Happy was not fourteen, since he decided the seven years spent doing nothing where he didn't age at all or had a single fish – oh poor, poor him – was not counted. So yeah anyway, Happy was for- seven and was pretty young. Though for a cat, he could be middle-aged; but he was not totally a cat and he was not old! So anyway, Happy was not old, but he wasn't dumb. Sure, he acted like a total five-year old most of the time – hey, Natsu did too! And Natsu was way older than him! – and did lots of stupid stuff and liked lots of stupid stuff – of course, not Charle; she wasn't stupid! – but he knew things and saw through some things better than some of his guildmates did.

Happy knew he was slow to realize many things, but he knew too that there were others who were like that as well, and even more so than him – cough, Natsu, cough – especially when they were the object of discussion. But of course, Happy liked to have some fun by deciding to not tell them. (Hey, even he liked to be the one to know something the others did not know about, for once!) But still, sometimes he'd drop a little hint or two because it wouldn't be fun if the two people didn't have any idea what was going on at all. And trust him, they really didn't.

"Happyy," Natsu whined like the little kid he was inside. "Lucy kicked me out of her house again! And I was being nice too! I didn't even try to mess up her kitchen or her bathroom; I simply sat there and waited – can you believe it? – waited for her to come home! Just so we could ask her on a mission! And still she kicked us out!"

"Natsu," Happy replied. "That's because she wanted to change and you weren't getting out of her room. And I thought you weren't interested in such stuff?"

"Hey!" the pink-haired retorted indignantly. "What I meant was that I wouldn't try to peek even if I was in there! I may be rude, and stupid-"

"Everyone knows that."

"Hey! Anyway, I might be rude, and stupid, but Igneel did teach me some manners, alright? Besides, I am not that stupid okay? I just do whatever I feel like because I want to, nothing else."

"Aye!"

"Hmm… what's this about not being stupid?"

Lucy appeared at her doorway, dressed newly in a green tank top, a short black skirt with her keys and whip hanging from it, as well as matching green heels. Happy was a cat, so he didn't care, but he supposed Lucy dressed in that was what could be considered attractive from the human's point of view.

But of course, Happy being Happy, could never give up on a change to tease Lucy.

"What's with that outfit? You look like some moss or something with that green shirt!" Happy commented, smiling and giving his most innocent look.

Alas, that did not work too well on Lucy.

"Come back here you stupid cat!" She was brandishing her whip, which Happy decided was not a good thing.

But still, he couldn't help but try to annoy her more.

"So unfeminine! No wonder you won't get a boyfriend!"

Surprisingly, she stopped chasing after him. Curious, Happy turned back and went to Lucy's side. Had he said too much?

Apparently, that was not a good idea.

Quick as lightning, her hand shot out and caught him by the tail before he could comprehend what was happening.

"Got you, you stupid cat!"

"Natsu, help me!" Happy whimpered to his best friend who was a few feet behind him.

"Sorry Happy, but Lucy is scary."

She turned to glare at him, but did not say anything. Happy noticed that her eyes weren't as bright as usual. And for a split second, Happy saw that what he had said earlier seemed to have some impact on Lucy, though he wasn't sure why exactly.

Happy smiled inwardly. The blue cat was going to have some fun.

"I assure you, you won't have that grin on your face once I'm done with you."

Happy gulped. Maybe not.

"So, what's that mission you said would be perfect for me?" Lucy asked, arms crossed in front of her.

Happy stared back, wondering if it was alright for him to speak. He'd been abused quite badly by her just now, even if he admitted it was partially his fault. But hey, she didn't have to go so far!

"I was waiting for you to ask! See, it has this reward of 200,000 jewels, so we thought that if you wanted to come with us, we'd be nice and give you a share of 70,000 jewels, just nice for you to pay your rent!" Natsu chimed in happily.

At that, Lucy expression seemed to soften. Good, Evil Lucy was gone.

"Aye!"

"So, what's the mission supposed to be? You didn't really answer my question, you know."

Happy looked at Natsu for help. Natsu didn't notice Happy, but he answered her question anyway.

"Uh, you see. I think it's something about wanting a blonde as a part-time worker at his café as a replacement for his worker who quit suddenly. Yup, that's it right Happy?"

Lucy glowered darkly.

"Uh huh. And while I'll be doing that, what are you two gonna do?"

"Sit around and eat, duh! It's a café! What else is there to do there?"

Lucy's voice was dangerously low now.

"So you're going to make me do all the work for you, while you two sit there enjoying yourselves. A very good idea indeed. And you two will be taking more than half the money, too. A very good deal, I'd say."

The pink-haired boy seemed to understand what was going on now.

"U-Uh…"

"And whose great idea was this?" The celestial spirit mage gave an impossibly sweet smile now, her voice dripping with sarcasm.

Happy did not want to get into trouble.

"It was Natsu's." The blue feline said immediately.

"Hey, Happy! Friends are supposed to stick together through thick and thin!"

Happy smiled innocently.

"Well, I didn't say anything wrong now, did I?"

"Natsu…" Lucy growled.

The Dragon Slayer gulped. Happy knew the guy wasn't afraid of anything, but even he knew Lucy could be pretty damn scary if she wanted to be.

"U-Uh… Ouch! Ah! Ow! Happy, help!"

"No way, I already got my fair share of beatings earlier on."

Lucy turned to look at Happy, then her expression softened. Looking at Natsu again, she sighed.

"Alright, alright. It's my fault okay?"

Natsu and Happy stared.

"F-For beating you I mean. You guys deserve it. But maybe I went a bit overboard. Just- the girls have been bothering me a lot lately. And it's not only them. Everyone seems to think the same way too. Honestly, I'm troubled, if not annoyed."

Immediately, her two friends were by her side, arms around her shoulder in a group hug. Though Happy was flying, of course.

"Nah, it's fine. Tell us anything. But give us a warning before you start going violent and crazy on us again. You're scary when you do that, you know."

"Aye!"

"Y-Yeah…"

But Happy was thinking about something else. Something recent? Hmm. The gears were fitting into place in his cat-like mind. Could it have something to do with their little talk in the guild a while ago? Lucy had flatly denied even wanting to have a boyfriend, but maybe she was a little bothered by what they said. Well well, Happy thought, if Lucy was thinking that, she had to be quite stupid. Happy giggled. He agreed with Cana. Lucy had to be quite blind. But that made it all the more fun for Happy.

"Alright, let's go then! I'm all fired up!"

"Say that when you're actually going to do something productive!" came Lucy's high-pitched voice.

"Aye!"

"You too, kitty!"

"Aye!"

"Don't 'Aye!' me when you're not even planning to do that!"

"Aye!"

"Ugh, I give up."

Yeah, Happy thought. This would be fun.
