A/N:
Hullo, I just realised that if you abbreviate Fairy Tail Police, it turns into FTP which is F*ck the Police. Oops.
Anyway here is Chappy 2.

Even with the new member, Heartfilia, the station is still struggling with too less of workers.
Macorov had placed an application in for another member but the Inspector for the district isn't convinced that there is a need for anymore. He has decided to check in on Fairy Tail to investigate the urgent request.

Lucy's POV
I've been a Fairy Tail cop for two weeks now. We are soooooo busy all the time and work is chaotic. But not only the work but my co-workers are also chaotic. Gray, Natsu and even Macorov tried to get me drunk the first night I was here. Sigh. The only one decent is our D, but he also mucks around a bit before trying to maintain a business like aura. It's hard to do that with the knuckleheads Gray and Natsu as partners.
It's not actually that bad here though. There is a warming sense of comradeship behinds all the idiocy. By the end of the day we manage to get the job done.
The boss here is quite loose but he has one main rule that he made shortly after I joined. It is strongly discouraged to get in a romantic relationship with other work members. He doesn't want any distractions in the station that might affect our work. He clearly hasn't had the issue before with just the boys but after the news about Gray and I, he made the rule.
"LUIGI, DO YOU WANT SOME COFFEE?!" Natsu shouted at me.
Oh I must've zoned out.
"My name is Lucy and why are you shouting?" I asked kinda annoyed.
"Well it's only like the twentieth time that I have asked" he said sarcasticly "and I know your name but you weren't responding to it so Luigi works just fine" he finished.
"Idiot!" I retorted.
"What about the coffee?!" Natsu was sounding desperate.
"Yes, I'll have a coffe thanks." I rolled my eyes, he's so annoying. But also kind of sweet and caring when he really needs to be.
"Thank you for answering, finally" he said as he walked off.
I looked down at the paperwork I was doing and continued before boss stepped out of his office.
"Guys we have some grave news" He said rather grimly. He took a deep breath before continuing, "the inspected is coming to check in on our station."
The atmosphere in the room dropped. Every body stood frozen in their places with fear written on their faces. I had no idea why. The worst face was Jellal's. I was seriously surprised to see that he could look so uncomfortable.
"Okay, enough gawking. We need to prepare. Natsu, Clean your paperwork from your desk and remember to file them correctly. Jellal, make yourself scarce. Gray, I expect you to wear all your uniform buttoned up with the tie correctly in place. And Lucy, you can clean the kitchen area and try to be as professional as possible" The Sargent stated.
I still had no idea what all the fuss was about but did as I was told while noticing everybody else's stiff movements.
"What's the reason for this visit this time?" Gray asked who was currently looking for his misplaced shirt.
"He's checking for the need of a new member, so try to be the most busy looking people you can." Macorov answered.
Who was this districts Inspector and why was everyone's reaction like this? I wondered.

In a short while, The front door opened. I swear that a felt the air in the room tremor. A man with Longish black hair tied in a neat bun thing and purple eyes walked in. He was wearing a crisp, dry cleaned uniform but the shoulder marks had four silver stud things instead of blank ones like mine. This was the inspector.
"Inspector Lahar, welcome" Out Sargent said formally.
"Thank you Sargent Macorov. I'm sure that today will be pleasant enough" Lahar replied equally formally.
"Ahh... Constable Heartfilia. The newest member. I hope you're comfortable with your new posting" He said walking over to my desk with a slight nod of the head.
"Ah yes, thank you Sir... ahh...Inspector" I hastily replied suddenly getting nervous.
Jellal then emerged from his office and attempted to walk past unnoticed but failed. Lahar looked him dead in the eye.
"Senior Detective Fernandez" The inspector greeted.
"Inspector" Jellal answered slightly bowing his head before hastily rushing past the counter and out the door.
"What was that all about?" I whispered to Natsu.
He lent across his desk to reply, "Long story short, Those two have history together" He whispered back.
I mentally face palmed. "I can see that" I said growing impatient with the super hot idiot. I meant the super dense idiot.
"Lahar was convinced that Jellal was corrupted but he was proven innocent by the courts. Lahar still hasn't quite accepted that outcome. And don't worry, Jellal isn't corrupt" Gray answered me much better than the Pinkette.
"Ohh..." I replied. That makes sense now.
"So, prove to me why this station needs another member after we had generously have you one." The inspector suddenly spoke up.
"Easy peasy" Natsu spoke up. "Gee, it's awfully quiet today..." He said.
Those are the cursed words. Whenever some says that, a phone starts ringing, and then we're suddenly very busy.
Inspector Lahar looked unimpressed. The words hadn't worked.
I could tell that this was going to be a long day.
~ • ~
By the end of the day, the phones had rung a grand total of three times and only one person came up to the counter. Even the C.I department didn't get many jobs today. Thus leaving Jellal no choice but to stay back in the office creating a slight tension.
Gray had unbuttoned all the buttons of his shirt which earns him a 7 minute lecture about the duty's of being a police man and how the uniform should not be disrespected.
Natsu spilled Lahars coffee over the desk he was occupying for the day. If looks could kill, Constable Dragneel would have been de-headed and the fed through a paper shredder.
I mostly got praised for doing the correct filing and completing tasks quickly. It was kind of uncomfortable to revive.
At the end of the day, Inspector went into Macorov's office to have a chat. If I could guess, it's probably about how today was a big waste of time and that we should only request our needs.
The atmosphere lightened when Lahar had finally left and everyone let out a sigh of relief.
"Couldn't you have made it seem a tiny bit more busier?!" Boss said while massaging his temples.
"Sorry boss" the knuckle heads said in unison.

After my shift, I went to the Strauss pub and into my room. The only thing that sucks right now is that I don't have a private bathroom so I get my stuff and head to the public one at the end of the hall.
After my shower I get ready to hang downstairs with the boys. They are all there drinking away the day's events.
"Slow down guys, we still have work tomorrow and I don't really feel like working with a bunch of hung over guys" I say as I came up behind them.
"Hey Luushii." Hic Natsu said. I could tell he was already out of it.
I groaned.
"Why don't you join us, hic, you look stressed." Jellal said seeming the most sober out of the three of them. "MIRA, WOULD YOU PLEASE GET A VODKA FOR THE MISS!" He called out. Never mind he's not sober at all considering Mira was a metre away.
I was fine to accept the one free drink but that was it for me. Someone had to be fresh tomorrow.
Mirajane passed me my drink and I sat on the stool.
"Hey Lucy?, I've already had someone drive a wasted police Sargent home and I've decided that it'd be easier to keep the rest of them here for the night. Since I don't have any spare rooms, I'm gonna stuff Jellal into grays room and I was wondering if Natsu could stay in yours" The white haired woman said.
I only agreed because she seemed desperate to get them out of the bar.

After at least half an out of staging men up the stairs and picking up the items of clothing Gray had managed to peel off only half awake, I could lay down in my soft bed and sleep.
Shortly, I heard Natsu slur out Luushii again before he flopped onto me. He was supposed to be sleeping on the couch in my room but he isn't. To tired to do much, I pushed him over to the other side and I soon fell asleep.
