I am confused when i see this transaction

Test transaction with one input and two outputs

Since scriptpubkey verifies the hash of the sender's public key and sender's signature, i am wondering why the two scriptpubkeys are different. Shouldn't they be the same? I am saying the XXX part in the following should be identical

OP_DUP OP_HASH160 XXX OP_EQUALVERIFY OP_CHECKSIG

If not, why not?

scriptpubkey is the locking script, it contains the condition to spend this output, so XXX is the hash referent to the address that is receiving, that´s why is different.
