Cablo Cipasso woke up with a bad mood. He always was in a bad mood since his masterpiece had been stolen. He quickly dressed, opened the door of his hotel room and ordered the bodyguard he had hired: "Bring me my breakfast!"
Despite the fact that this normally wasn't part of his job, the bodyguard obeyed reluctantly.
When he came back to the master's room, he carried not only the tray with the breakfast, but also a big package with an envelope. "Mr. Cipasso, this has been left at the hotel's reception... It seems to be for you!"
Curiously, the master opened up the package while the bodyguard took the envelope.
Cipasso's eyes got wide as he pulled his golden horse statue out of the package. "My beautiful stallion," he whispered. "How on earth did you return?"
"Sir, listen to this," the bodyguard said. "'Dear Cipasso-san... We're sorry that all of this has happened, and I promise to keep a better eye on the members of my group. She was willing to give your stolen piece of art back to you and pleads for your forgiveness... I assure you that we never had the intention of harming you, it was all a series of misunderstandings. I hope you can forgive my Senshi and won't hold a grudge against us.
Yours sincerely... Sailor Moon!"

"There," Capricorn smiled. "That should do it! I returned everything I stole from the people since Duplicas gave me the amulet. I really hope they will forgive me, though... It's hard to fight for justice and love when everyone has something against you..."
"Don't worry about that," Saturn smiled. "I'm sure if you give them some time and they see that you are one of us, they will forget the whole thing."
"Anyway, we're glad to have you with us, Sailor Capricorn," Moon said. "I hope you will help us find the remaining Zodiac Senshi."
"I will," Capricorn nodded. "But now, if you excuse me, I think I have to go home..."
She jumped on top of a roof, nodded back to her fellow Senshi and left.
Sailor Leo shook her head. "Unbelievable... she acts so differently! Is that the same Azusa that has kidnapped my P-chan?"
"Well, perhaps we're lucky and Sailor Moon has cured her once and for all," Scorpio said.
----
Back at her home, Capricorn climbed through the window of her room, back with her 'old' collection of cute things. She looked around and chuckled. "Maybe I should give all of those back some time later... But for today, I'm tired." She grasped her amulet and dropped her Senshi powers...
Azusa blinked and looked around. How did she get back home? She shrugged and giggled. Never mind! She was happy to be with her cute little friends again.
"Hello again, Florence! How are you doing, Pierre? Hi there, Gabrielle! You look soooo pretty today, Mirelle..."
----
On the next day, the Outer Senshi decided to take a day off and relax in the park.
"Good thing we managed to turn Capricorn back to normal," Michiru sighed. "If she had continued like this, it would have been a hard time for us Senshi..."
Haruka nodded. "Yeah, seriously... I mean, think about what else she could've made me do. Play with dolls?"
Hotaru giggled. "I still have some old dolls my daddy once gave to me, Haruka-papa... do you want some?"
"Very funny, Hotaru..." Haruka grumbled, and the others laughed.
It was a nice day. The sun was shining, the birds were singing, and everyone of them has brought something to read. Michiru a romance novel, Hotaru also a novel, but a somewhat easier one, Setsuna a scientific book about temporal theories, and Haruka... a car magazine!
Haruka leaned back against a tree and grinned as she looked at the cars in her magazine. Sometimes, she wished she had the money to buy several of them at once...
Suddenly, a pink blur rushed past her and snatched away her magazine.
"What the...?" Haruka stood up and glared at the girl that was standing in front of them, wearing her pink dress, rollerblades on her feet, and holding Haruka's car magazine in her hands.
Azusa giggled. "Oooh, this one is nice! I think I'll keep him! I think I call him 'Jacques'!"
Haruka gasped. "You? But how? Setsuna... you said she was healed, right?"
Setsuna frowned. "It looks like her personality is reverting back to 'normal', whenever she drops her Senshi magic... But it's not that bad, I think. She won't go on a stealing rampage like she did when Duplicas controlled her."
Michiru nodded. "Yes, remember, Akane and Ranma told us that she normally would only take small, cheap things that really aren't that important."
"What did you say?" Haruka nearly screeched. "This is my car magazine! This IS something important!" She turned to face Azusa. "Gimme that!"
Azusa pouted. "No way! This is my little Jacques!"
Haruka stared at Azusa.
Azusa stared back.
KLEPTOMANICUS RAPIDUS (Azusa)
TOMBOYUS FURIOSUS (Haruka)
Azusa giggled and stuck out her tongue. And when she zipped away on her skates, Hotaru could swear she heard her say 'beep-beep'.
Furiously, Haruka ran after her. "GIVE ME BACK MY MAGAZINE!"
Akane and Ranma, who were just coming home from school, were surprised when the two speedsters came rushing past them.
Ranma blinked, then shrugged. "Well, looks like things are back to normal now..."
Akane smirked. "Since when is anything around here normal?"
"Well, as normal as Nerima can get..."
