Hey! Thank you for the favorites and follows! I know this might be greedy of me but a review or two would be great also*hint, hint*. But seriously thanks. Just FYI, I probably won't be updating this fast, the only reason I am is because I already had Chapter 2 made. But I haven't done chapter 3 yet so... Also how do you but the line in the story, thanks.

Chapter 2

"How do you think shorty did it, Juvia," Gajeel asked his second in command at the crimescene. They had taken to the name 'shorty' as a nickname for the thief because of a robbery pulled that could only happen if the person was abnormally short.

"Juvia thinks that shorty might have come in by the window next to the clock over there," she points to the window, "and then walk across the hallway, steal the book, then leave the same way she came in."

Gajeel couldn't help but think that Shorty was offly confident to just march in there steal the book then march straight back out. But then again she had succeeded to stealing the book so…

The bar was once again crowded, loud, and stuffy, but then it always was like this. Gajeel would've thought that the world would have to end for it to be quiet in here. As he walked toward the stool he always sat at he saw a flash of pink out of the corner of his eye, so when he reached the bar he turned around slowly and rested his arm against the counter. He watched the crowd and looked for the pink to show up, and it did except this time with a flash of gold.

"What the…" since when did he have a girlfriend.

He being the densest, dumbest, person Gajeel had ever met, so how in Zeref did he have a girlfriend and a pretty one at that. She had blond hair, a big chest, and she was actually enjoying herself, at least it seemed like it. Little did Gajeel know that they were joking about how they were going steal from him and that Natsu was talking about how he wouldn't even notice, he was so thickheaded. They knew each other so well because Natsu had been caught 3 times already in the short time Gajeel had been Commander.

"Excuse me, sir, are you going get something to drink?" the bartender asked.

"Yeah I am" Gajeel responded sort of mad at the bartender for interrupting his train of thought, "I'll take some whiskey."

They weren't supposed to drink on a weeknight, but in his defense, he had a rough week so far so surely a little wouldn't be a that bad. Wait, Natsu was a pickpocket thief so he might know who shorty might be...it was worth a try at least.

"Here is your whiskey, sir"

Perfect timing, too, Gajeel thought, completely forgetting about his grudge against the bartender, as he drank the whole glass in one gulp and walked over to the table they were at.

"Hey" he said gruffly.

"What are you doing here, metalhead" Natsu replied with a smile.

"What did you just say, thief"

"Who are you calling a thief, guard"

"Who else would I say it to, flamehead"

"What was that, metalguard"

"Excuse me, but who is this, Natsu" Lucy interrupted their very pitiful fight with a voice of annoyance. Both guys couldn't help but gulp in fear in the way the she had just said that and the way she was narrowing her eyes at them.

"Ummm, this is Gajeel, Luce. Gajeel meet Lucy" Natsu said nervously as he eyed her carefully.

"As in the new guard commander gajeel or as in a random person named Gajeel?" Lucy asked skeptically.

"As in the new guard commander Gajeel" Gajeel replied warily for Natsu.

"Now as I came here to say, you guys wouldn't know the thief I'm trying to catch would you?"

Natsu and Lucy shared a glance that made Gajeel think they definitely knew the person who was the thief. Now, how to get them to talk… As they shared the glance, Lucy caught sight of someone and quickly raised her hand to her neck and made a slicing motion across her neck. While she this, her face changed to a look of caution, and don't come here, Natsu saw her face change and looked behind him while he did so his face changed to panic, too. During this whole fiasco, Gajeel was watching Lucy and Natsu with piercing eyes trying to figure out what was going on and get the most information he could. When he saw Natsu turn around, Gajeel looked in the same direction, but all he saw a flash of bright blue.

"Who was that?" Gajeel asked them still looking at the spot where the flash of blue had been but when he turned back to face them, Lucy and Natsu were gone. Great, just freaking fantastic, Gajeel thought sarcastically. He went back to the bar and payed the bill after that he left the busy bar. He hadn't tried to find the thieves, he had learned from experience that if they didn't want to be found, they couldn't be found.

The next day went by like a flash, since there weren't any thefts. But the day after that on the other hand wasn't. Gajeel woke up with a headache but since he was the commander now he couldn't skip work like he used too. So with a pounding headache he got dressed, ate a piece of bread, said goodbye to his cat, Pantherlily, and left for work. He had been halfway to the city guard station when he realized that he had left the file about shorty at home, so he stopped abruptly and turned around. As he did a small person with blue hair up to her shoulders bumped into him, but he payed no mind to her, he just kept walking back to his house.

When he had finally arrived at the station, he had been cursing, but he still walked in and apologized to his second in command, Juvia. He had been sitting at his desk for a couple hours signing papers, and he was reaching the limit of boredom he could handle. So he jumped up from excitement-not that he would tell anyone-when Juvia ran into his office. Little did he know then that he soon would wish that she had never come rushing in his office.

" Gajeel, there's been another robbery! I think shorty did it but there is no proof."

"Ok, comin'," Gajeel said roughly, almost sighing in relief, but he didn't because he didn't do sissy things like that.

"What is this," Gajeel demanded in outrage at the medical people at the crime scene. Most people at the sound of his voice cringed and slowly hid behind something, not wanting Gajeel shouting at them. Finally, Wendy, the chief of the medical people-as Gajeel called them-, stepped up.

"There is a dead body inside the house and that is our jurisdiction, Gajeel" Wendy said in a patient voice as she was used to Gajeel screaming at people when he was mad. And he was mad quite often, so she had plenty of experience.

"What are you talking about kid, it was a robbery not a murder" Gajeel said confused but calmed a bit more. After all Wendy was everybody's weak spot, she was just so cute with her long blue hair in pigtails and always smiling.

"You can check, Gajeel" Wendy said making a sweeping motion with her arm signaling him to come in the house. And Gajeel did.
