Gary was once again on stage of the night club he had first preformed in some weeks ago for Liselle. He stood looking out at the audience, then giving a glance to the back up singers. He needed a break from the mission with the Windchime to dealing with Lia, to the upcoming trip to Trill to help Liselle and now with Commodore Mountbatten and her aides onboard and sneaking around looking and snooping hoping to find who knows what, he just needed a break.

He smiled at the crowd, "Thank you, thank you very much. I have a song I'd like to sing and I encourage you to join in because the world would be a much happier place if we all felt like this more often." The music began and he took hold of the mic as he began to sing the infectious, upbeat lyrics.
As he sang, slowly but surely the audience chimed in, singing and clapping along as the song reached it's end the entire club was rocking along with the song. There was no doubt everyone felt ….happy.

It might seem crazy what I'm 'bout to say
Sunshine she's here, you can take a break
I'm a hot air balloon that could go to space
With the air, like I don't care baby by the way
Huh, because I'm happy
Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof
Because I'm happy
Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth
Because I'm happy
Clap along if you know what happiness is to you
Because I'm happy
Clap along if you feel like that's what you wanna do
Here come bad news, talking this and that
(Yeah) Well, give me all you got, and don't hold it back
(Yeah) Well, I should probably warn you I'll be just fine
(Yeah) No offense to you, don't waste your time
Here's why
Because I'm happy
Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof
Because I'm happy
Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth
Because I'm happy
Clap along if you know what happiness is to you
Because I'm happy
Clap along if you feel like that's what you wanna do

Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof

He finished and stood there, he felt better as the weight was lifted from his shoulders at least for the time being. He couldn't and wouldn't escape his duties and obligations but this was a much needed break.
