YouTube Prompt: Happy tribute to 'Happy' by Pharrell Williams.

It was a bright and sunny morning when Happy set out with a new determination.

Today was going to be the day he made cat friends!

It was nothing against Natsu or Lisanna or the others at the guild but Happy wanted someone that understood what it was like being a cat. He wanted someone who loved fish as much as he did and could moan about hairballs without the looks of utter disgust.

So after a few dep breathes and some encouraging words, Happy bravely approached the nearest cat in an alleyway.

"Hi!" he chirped cheerfully. "I'm Ha-"

"Hiss!"

Happy stumbled back aghast when the large, tabby, cat suddenly lashed out on him and scratched his face up and tried to chew his ear off. The much smaller, blue, kitten barely summoned his wings in time before he escaped.

"How rude!" Happy hollered from the air. "I was only trying to make friends. You great big bully!"

The next cat, Happy approached was much smaller. In fact Happy purposely made sure that the next one was smaller than him so he wouldn't get attacked again.

"Hey!" he waved at the tiny black kitten. "My name is Happy."

The kitten blinked back.

"What's your name?" Happy prompted.

The kitten said nothing.

"It's a nice day out, isn't it?"

The kitten still said nothing.

"So what do you do around here for fun?"

"Mew?"

"How rude!" Happy stormed off furiously. "I was trying to make friends and that horrible little ting was just mocking me!

Happy soon found all the other cats were just the same. They either attacked him for being on their territory (at least that's how Erza explained it when she rescued Happy from one attack) or they just mewed and ignored him. One was even disgusting enough to start licking itself right there in front of Happy!

It was just not Happy's day.

"Yo, Happy!" Natsu called out as Happy shuffled past him. "How was your cat friend search?"

"Oh Natsuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!" Happy wailed as streams of tears suddenly poured down his face. "The other cats are so meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan to me! All they did was hiss or meow or lick themselves! No one wants to be my friend! It's not fair!"

"There, there, Happy," Natsu patted Happy's back, "it's all right. I'm sure all the other cats didn't mean to be mean. They're just not good at talking."

Happy looked up hopefully. "You think so?" he sniffled.

"Well," Natsu blinked, "yeah. I mean you're the only cat I know that actually talks so it makes sense that the others just can't communicate with you.

"But why?!" Happy whined. "Why am I the only cat that talks?!"

"I dunno Happy," Natsu shrugged, "you must be some sort of miracle – oh my God!" Natsu cried out as realisation hit him. "Happy, you're a miracle, like a super-awesome miracle, you must be Cat Jesus!"

"….What?" Happy asked bewilderedly.

"Well think about it," Natsu said cheerfully, "you don't have a Mum or Dad in a traditional sense. So obviously you're a virgin birth. You have wings like an angel. You have this amazing ability to make fish last forever. And, and!" Natsu waved his hands about excitedly. "I have seen you walk on water!"

"Natsu," Happy said calmly, "I was flying." He then tilted his head sideways as he thought about it. "But you do have a point. I am very miraculous and angelic….Natsu!" Happy breathed out exhilarated. "Natsu, I'm Cat Jesus!"

"See!" Natsu grinned. "I was right! Now we must spread the word!"

"Aye Sir!"

…and that was how the rest of the guild found Natsu and Happy preaching to the other cats with the bible.
