"Poor Tuxedo Kamen..." Chibiusa said as she helped the caped defender of Juuban get back to his feet. "Does it hurt much?"
"I felt better..." came the groaned response.
Suddenly, Sailor Moon snapped her fingers. "Listen, I got an idea... how about we make a trap?"
"As long as we don't fall in ourselves..." Chibimoon sighed. "Okay, what's your plan?"
----
"It's very simple, actually." Usagi grinned as she installed her trap next to the sidewalk. "We just attach this sack to that tree, see...? And as a lure, we'll use a bottle of SAKE! And when our dear bat takes it, ta-daah... She'll be caught! What d'you say?"
"Might work," Mamoru said. "It's not the best plan, but as it is the only one we have..."
Usagi attached a small bell to the sack. "So we can hear when she's caught... And now, we hide until it jingles!"
They hurried back behind the corner of a building and waited.
----
Sayoko Mishima felt miserable as she walked down the street. That stupid Belldandy... why did she have to outclass her in everything? Why? It just wasn't fair...
Sure, that baking contest may not have been the best idea... But she couldn't allow that girl to attract the attention of every single guy of Nekomi Tech just because she made some cupcakes for Keiichi, right? So her pride demanded only one thing: Show that she was the best at making cakes!
Of course, it turned out to be a total flop... Not only did Belldandy win the contest, no, Sayoko's cake just HAD to explode right in the faces of the judges...
That's why right now, Sayoko was on her way to her favorite bar in Juuban, to forget her shame...
Suddenly, she spotted something strange: A lonely bottle of sake, sitting right at the side of the sidewalk... Did someone forget it there?
Sayoko grinned. "Well, as long as no one complains, I guess I'll take it myself." And she grabbed the bottle...
----
When she heard the jingling of the bell, Usagi grinned. "We got her now!"
"Quick now!" Chibimoon shouted. Together, they ran over to the sack, in which their booty was fidgeting around.
"Stop struggling!" Tuxedo Kamen said, as he grabbed the sack and bound the opening tightly with a rope. "This is for your own good!"
"Ah-hah!" another voice suddenly called out. "Caught you red-handed!"
Officer Leon McNichol approached the trio. He carefully looked at the man with the tuxedo and the mask. From the description of the elderly couple, this had to be the burglar.
Now you have to know that Leon has heard from the Sailor Senshi before, but as he wasn't from Juuban (and to tell the truth, he always believed them to be an urban legend), he didn't know who was standing in front of him. Tuxedo Kamen, he has never heard of before.
"Okay, don't move!" he shouted. "What's in the sack?"
"You got it all wrong, officer!" Sailor Moon tried defending them. "We just caught a daimon in there..."
Leon frowned. "A what?"
"Um, a really big bat-monster..."
The officer snickered. "Very funny... okay, open the sack!"
"But, officer..."
"NOW!"
Usagi sighed. "Very well, as you wish..." And she obeyed...
Sayoko gasped for air as her head came bursting forth from the sack. "Help!" she cried. "Officer! I've been ambushed! Arrest them!"
Leon didn't look too happy. "Does this look like a bat-monster to you?" He drew his gun. "All right, playtime's over... turn around and put your hands on the wall."
"But officer!"
"Do it!"
Usagi groaned as they obeyed. Chibimoon glared up at her future mother. "Great plan, meatball head..."
----
Chief Todo was just going through some files, when he heard Leon's voice from outside his office.
"Chief! Good news! You'll be happy to see what I brought you..."
And he entered his chief's office. "See?"
Todo furrowed his brows. "Just what is the meaning of this, officer?" he grumbled.
Leon didn't understand. "Why, I just brought you... uh... uh-oh..."
Uh-oh indeed... because what the poor officer was dragging around with him wasn't the three persons he had arrested earlier, but only a pair of shiny, brand-new leather corsets.
"Wha...? I mean... I know I had them... Please, sir, I can explain..."
"STOP TRYING TO MAKE ME PART OF YOUR KINKY LITTLE GAMES!!" the chief yelled. "I'm not gay!!"
Another officer who just came walking past the chief's office, whistled. "Man, Leon... I never knew..."
Leon whimpered. "Why me...?"
----
"I definitely don't like this," Mamoru grumbled. "At this rate, the Sailor Senshi will turn into outlaws..."
"We had no time explaining all of this," Usagi said. "You should thank Chibiusa for her little Luna-P's abilities."
"Yeah," Chibiusa nodded. "Besides, what else do we have our police for, if not to play some pranks on their officers every now and then?"
Mamoru looked sternly at his girlfriend. "Usagi... I'm afraid you're not a good role model for her..."
Back in their civilian forms, they decided to take a little break in a little cafe, before they continued their pursuit of the bat-daimon...
----
Hikaru Koto, the cafe's old waiter, was also the owner of the small establishment. His employees often asked him to stop working so hard, they could handle everything... but he just laughed and told them they shouldn't worry too much about his health.
Truth was, they weren't really too worried about his health... only about his bad eyesight. Mr. Koto could not tell a cherry cake from an apple pie, and that was very bad for business... but poor ol' Hikaru could never bring himself to wear his glasses...
He really didn't believe he needed them. He could see that some new customers were sitting at table 4, so he walked over to them and asked: "What may I bring you?"
"A biiiig sundae!" Usagi shouted with excitement.
"Usagi, we don't have time for this," Mamoru exclaimed. "We'll just take a soda each, thank you!"
Mr. Koto went and shortly after, came back with the beverages. "Here you are, four sodas!"
"Four?" Chibiusa asked. "Why four? Can't you count?"
"But there are three of you, aren't they?" the old waiter asked in confusion.
Usagi, Mamoru and Chibiusa turned around... and sitting behind them was a furred girl with leather wings and pointy teeth.
Nabiki grinned. "Hi there!"
They all gasped. "YOU!!"
Mr. Koto backed off in fright as three of the customers suddenly pounced on the fourth, pressing her down to the ground.
"Hey... OW... What the heck are you doing?"
"You're not getting away this time!" Usagi shouted. "Chibiusa, we need some rope."
"Got it," the pink-haired girl nodded, and with a 'puff', Luna-P turned into a long rope, which they used to tie the bat up.
Nabiki struggled as Mamoru picked her up. "Lemme go! That's not fair!"
"Sorry, little bat... but we'll take you back to the zoo!"
"Oh well..." Nabiki groaned and stopped her flailing. "After all, this cafe doesn't have any good stuff..."
And while the threesome dragged the tied bat back to Professor Tomoe's house, Mr. Koto was on the phone.
"Hello? Police? Yes, this is Mr. Koto speaking... one of my customers has been kidnapped! The culprits? Well, it was this guy with black hair, the blonde with the unusual hairstyle..."
