It was her favorite time or year the year of giving and shopping for gifts for everyone she could think of. The malls were all lined with snowflakes, holiday plants, giant snow globes, nut crackers, carols, santas, and so much more. It was the time of the season that it seemed like everyone had a special glow about them. Though what was awesome about thinking about the smiles on peoples faces when you had them their Christmas gift. That alone was a magical feeling - or for her at least.

As she began to enter her first department store - she could already hear the bells jingling and music playing over the loud speaks. She went to open the door when all of the sudden someone right in front of her wearing a red hoodie. Grabbed some poor old ladies purse right next to her! What on earth and to make matters worse. He turned to bolt and ran right smack dab into her. Turning her around in a 360 circle and making her red Christmas dress twirl. She was a little caught of guard but she quickly caught her balance and raced after them as soon as she could catch her head. Which even though she wasn't in sailor form didn't take long. Since to her this was not the time to be stealing. Especially when everyone is being so joyful and merry.

She could see the guy from the corner of her eye and her mind was completely focused on him. Now she had no powers right now or any real idea what she would do once she caught up. Though her one and only focus was to catch them. It still troubled her though - why on earth would someone want to turn another persons Christmas sour by stealing. It just was dumb founding to her. Though then again maybe the person needed some help. Or food or something. I mean it had to be a good reason right? Not to take just to take. Even then though she couldn't see it. She could never really justify getting so bad to steal. Unless there was something she wasn't seeing.

It was at that moment she watched as the perp lost their footing she took the opportunity to run with all her might and grab his bag arm. Which gave her the chance to loosen the purse in his hand and secure it safely in her other hand. While they fell to the ground. Now this was all based on instinct - maybe her sailor training was paying off after all. She had gotten quick and stronger - even if she was just sugar.

Before she could even see the person's face - she asked one question. "Why did you steal...? I just ask you this before I call the cops and before you answer. I'll let you know that I am willing to listen but even though I might be small - you won't get away so quick. So I wouldn't try if I were you." With those words she waited for them to answer. Since if it was something maybe she could help them and not send them to the cops. After all it was Christmas and boy was she happy she didn't freeze up from silence.
