In 1994, the Cupids discovered that their “emergency supply warehouse” on the Prime Earth had been burgled, with a great number of [[Cupid Arrow]]s going missing. The elite mobile taskforce, [[Scarlet Wings]] to investigate. The Scarlet Wings operatives were able to trail the thieves — the [[Mob of the Maroon Magpie]] — back to their lair where, after a brief scuffle, they agreed to negotiate over a cup of tea. The Magpies offered to help the Cupids in their romanticising if the Cupids would let them keep stealing more Arrows, as well as store their increasingly large hoard in the [[Cupid Homeworld]]. | In 1994, the Cupids discovered that their “emergency supply warehouse” on the Prime Earth had been burgled, with a great number of [[Cupid Arrow]]s going missing.

The Cupid authorities refused to ratify this agreement and attempted to obviate the need for negotiations by increasing the security measures of the Cupid warehouse, with little success. A second Cupid detachment was sent back to the Magpies' H.Q. to romanticise them, but it was found that this only increased their enthusiasm for theft, failing to solve the Cupids' problem. Ultimately, the [[Cupid Parliament]] decreed that the Cupids should simply remain neutral towards the Magpies and avoid them altogether. The Magpies solved their storage problem by building a larger warehouse, while the Cupids moved their own hoard of Arrows to some other location unknown to the Magpies.
