Trotting to my locker to put on my tac, I first made my way to the police chief, giving him a smile. As he looked down at me my smile melted away. Yup, late again.

"Officer Blue, where the HAY HAVE YOU BEEN!" The chief shouted, I swear I felt my hat flew off my head. "YOUR LATE!" He shouted again, Ow my ear! "YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENES TO LATE COPS!"

My hoof couldn't move quickly enough as I gave a studdering salute, "S-Sorry Cheif Lock N' Key!" I said with the best and clearest voice I could. "I ha-have no ex---

"SHUT UP!" He shouted. I swear my ears not only exploaded, but I think they flew off with my hat. "Get in the locker room and get your gear on!"

"Y-Y-Ye---

"JUST DO IT!" The stallion shouted.

Sorry I was too busy being yelled at to describe our fearless Chief, Lock N' Key, Also known as Hard Flank, is a Unicorn, his coat is bluer then the Uniform that we're supposed to wear with pride, I guess to him it wears me with shame. His eyes are orange, sometimes I'd swear their red when he's mad, and he gets mad alot, he's got no mane, lost it over the years but from what silver tail he does have it looked to have once been purple.

His Cutie Mark is that of a Jail Cell lock with a key. He takes his work seriously and is meaner than a hydra, infact it's rumor he has a pet hydra in the basement he would feed the new recruits that don't perform as well as he likes to.

I guess I barely performed to his liking.

Making my way to the locker room, I slipped past my fellow officers, trying hard not to bump into anypony.... fail.

"Hey watch it Blue!" A stallion yelled when I almost knocked him over with my rump.

"Sorry, Gravel!" I said with a small voice.

"Get out of my way shrimp!" A mare yelled as I almost walked into her.

"Pardon me, Nightstick." I sighed. "I hate this...."

Finally, Finally making it to my locker at the end of the room I removed my uniform and began slipping into my A.M.T.G. (Anti-Magic-Tactical-Gear).

Let me explain the Tac gear, it consists of three pieces. A headset, self explainitory, it allows me to keep in contact with my partner and incase of emergency or reporting a crime, etc. Its all interconnected into a helmet I wear on the street.

Next is a vest, its Magic Proof, using Dragon Scale armor made from - you guessed it - dragon scales. Its also enchanted with a series of spell Matrixes and a onboard interface for non-unicorn ponies to use it. Non-Unicorn ponies like me. Everypony else on the force was a Pegasus or Unicorn.... Mostly Unicorn.... Our Pegasus works dispatch.

The final part of the Tac is the interface system that controls the other two componants. Its worn on the pony's neck and is enchanted to that ponies magic aura or, again, for non-unicorn ponies, voice activated. It mostly just tells me what time it is and keeps me connected to the manehattan police central. Simply put, useless.

But if I was a unicorn, it would allow me to use the Tac's emergency healing spells, in case I'm horribly shot to pieces by the goons of the street.

But no, I'm a Stupid useless Earth Pony.....

Stupid STUPID useless Earth Pony....

"Why so glum, Partner?"

Upon hearing my partner's voice, my morning started to turn brighter, Looking to my side I saw her.

A Unicorn, one with beauty and poise, yet also a tough, 'Don't Buck With Me!' personality of a dragon that will protect her eggs. Hay, even Lock and Key was afraid to make her mad. She was basicly the precincts mom/crush. Everypony wanted her as their partner. Low and behold I got lucky and now everypony hates me....

Well everypony always hated me, but now its more hate then before.

Why couldn't I have been a still-born?

"Hey, Dragnet!" I said with a fake smile, a smile that while I did love working with her, also faded as I fumbled with the zipper on my stupid uniform vest. "Ugh, stupid zipper again...."

Dragnet rolled her eyes as she lit up her horn in her rose red aura. "Here...." She said, I smiled as I looked at my partner, Dragnet had Azure eyes, violet red mane, and brown coat, her cutie mark was that of a police badge and I could swear you can hear a 'Daaaa Da Da Dun Dun, Dun da da dun dun Duuuuun' music play when she entered a room.

After helping me with my Tac, Dragnet effortlessly put her's on as she smiled at me. "So, ready to bust some badguys today, Blue?"

My bad mood from when I encountered the chief this morning seemed to die to the sword that was Dragnet's glowing smile. Why couldn't she be a princess?

"Uhm... sure." I said, with a weak smile of my own.

Making my way to the Chariot Pool, Once again I bumped into ponies on the way out. Naturally...

"AH!" Nightstick yelled as I nudged her, making her drop her TAC, "BLUE!" she yelled ready to slap me as she usually does, only for her hoof to be grabbed by a red magic aura.

"BACK OFF!" Dragnet yelled, causing Nightstick to shrink back. "I'm so TIRED of you ponies treating Blue like this!" She said with a look of sickened anger, her ears were pinned back as she looked to everypony else. "If something ever happens to one of us we're there for each other, I hope it's the same for EVERYPONY!"

When she turned around, I suppose she realized I was already moving to the weapons rack.

"BLUE!" Dragnet yelled. "I'm sorry for how they act, I'll talk to them later and...."

"Don't bother." I mumbled. "I'm used to it. Since I was a foal ponies trotted all over me." I sighed and turned to her. "I became a cop to stop stuff like this, not to have it happen to me more by 'OTHER' cops."

Dragnet shook her head. "It's still not right, one day things will change." That just made me roll my eyes.

"Come on, Dragnet. There's a crime happening out there, and we're just pony-playing around."

Dragnet stood behind me for a while but eventually she followed.

Patrolling the streets of manehattan was about as fun as you'd imagine. Ponies where meaner than ever to each other and honestly, today I didn't care. I was wanting a distraction, sadly the city wasn't providing.

It was one PM by the time Dragnet decided it was time for a break, we stopped over at the Donut Joes donut shop. Nodding to the rather youthful stallion with bage coat, blue eyes and brown flowing mane, I took my order of two coffees and two donuts as I trotted over to Dragnet.

"ugh...." I sighed, My mood improved but not much, but at least Pony Joe liked me, I was his best customer, I always got extra sprinkles.

Dragnet took her donut and nuzzled my cheek. "Thanks, Blue. Wow, thems a lot of sprinkles!" she said then looked to me with those azure eyes. I couldn't help but smile a bit.

"I visited Donut Joe with my mom since I was in the womb, he always seemed to know what I wanted." With my mind at some ease with those words, I pulled out my baton and began to twirl it around my hoof, the wrist band securing it tightly around my fetlock.

"Where'd you learn that trick?" Dragnet asked with a smirk as she watched me expertly twirl the nightstick.

"My dad, he was a royal guard...." I said with a faint smile. "taught it to me, he said if I was gonna be a guard or cop, I needed to know how to look good doing it."

It was in mid twirl that the chatter from dispatch came in through our coms, causing me to loose momentum and thunk myself in the snout.

Dragnet giggled at my antics until a call came in.

"All units, all units please respond." Dispatch called out. "Robbery at the Manehattan science and magic laboratory on 23rd and June. four suspects reported to be armed and dangerous, they stole something top secrete, really hush hush and the Princess ain't happy."

I nudged Dragnet with a hoof. "Guess thats us, Dragnet." I said, as I helped her hook up to the chariot, I hopped inside and switched on the siren. "Lets roll!"

I had no idea what was about to happen... otherwise I would have stayed home and slept in. I still blame the alarm clock...

Author's Note

More look into Blue's personality, She doesn't have the best view of herself, and while Earth Ponies are strong, she preferred to have been born a unicorn or Pegasus. Again, taking ideas from life, after all who hasn't wished they were born different?

We also see Blue is a walking mat, she's often pushed around by her other officers and has no self esteem. We also meet her partner, who is the exact opposite, she is Blue's mother-figure in a way and Idolizes her.
