It was just a normal day. All the Backyardigans were in the living room of Austin's house watching television. Pablo was sitting on Austin's couch and flipping through channels. Pablo flipped to channel 18 and an Alvin and The Chipmunks concert in Omaha, Nebraska was on.

"Yes! Now here's something worth watching." Pablo said as he dropped the remote and stood up.

"Boooooo!" Uniqua and Austin yelled.

Pablo, Tyrone, and Tasha started dancing around to the music while Uniqua and Austin covered their ears not wanting to hear the band who they thought were as bad at singing as Sasha Striker is good at playing Pak-Rat.

"Let's get out of here Uniqua." Austin suggested.

"But this is your house." Uniqua stated.

"Would you rather listen to this train wreck?" Austin asked.

Uniqua looked at the TV and even though the Chipmunks were still singing, all she heard was the sound of an actual train wreck.

"No." she answered.

Uniqua and Austin both walked out Austin's back door and into his part of the backyard.

"I don't understand how anybody could possibly like those annoying rodents who call themselves a boy band." Uniqua said.

(That's Uniqua's opinion and not the author's)

"Me either" Austin said.

The Next Morning

Austin and Uniqua were on the top of a hill both asleep. Uniqua was laying on her belly and Austin was laying right on top of her.

The sun rose making Austin wake up.

"Ah! Oh-no!" Austin said in fear as he stood up. "Please don't weigh more. Please don't weigh more. Please don't weigh more." Austin repeated to himself nervously.

Uniqua woke up too but didn't stand up.

"What the? How did we get here?" Uniqua asked.

"I got a better question." Austin said.

"Then go ahead, ask it." Uniqua replied.

"Where the heck are we?" Austin asked while flinging his arms in the air.

"Let's go see." Uniqua told her purple friend.

Uniqua and Austin walked down the hill and came to a sign at the very bottom.

"Welcome to Los Angeles." Uniqua read off the sign.

"Los Angeles!" Austin shouted. "I don't wanna be in The City of Angels. Me and you should be home on Christmas Eve." Austin said.

"Austin it's not Christmas Eve." Uniqua corrected. "In fact, it's not even December." she continued. "It's September 27th." she concluded.

"Well it's Christmas in [Insert City And State In Which Cardsharks87 Lives Here]." Austin said.

After walking around the city for 4 hours, 27 minutes, and 56 seconds, Uniqua and Austin came up to a tree that had a sign-up sheet taped to it.

"Singing Contest, this Wednesday at West Eastman High School." Uniqua read off the sheet. "Grand prize: $2 Gazillion and 5 plane tickets back to the town where the Backyardigans live." she continued to read. "Well we're sure to win that." Uniqua said proudly as she wrote "Uniqua & Austin" on the nearest empty line.

Austin felt the same way until he saw who else's name was on the sign-up sheet.

"Uniqua, look who else is entered." Austin said.

Uniqua looked at line #4 and saw that "The Chipmunks" was written on it.

"Gasp!" Uniqua gasped. "We're not doing this just to get home anymore." Uniqua said with her eyes almost all the way closed and leaning against Austin.

Dramatic music played but after a few moments Austin spoke out.

"Is getting back home the reason we entered?" Austin asked.

"Of course." Uniqua answered. "What did you think we were doing it for?" she asked.

"I guess I didn't really think about it." Austin said.
