Author's note (A/N): Okay, this is where the story gets a lot more different that the original episode. Reviews are desperately needed.
"Uniqua, are you sure you took the right path?" asked Pablo, who was starting to get bored from the long trip.
"Pablo, there is only one path in this desert, and I'm driving on it!" said Uniqua.
"Just making sure." said Pablo, relaxing into his seat.
Suddenly, Uniqua and Pablo heard barking coming from the back of the truck. Then the truck made a 'clatter' sound.
"Oh, no! The carpet is loose again!" yelled Pablo. The truck's back then made 'hissing' noises.
"I don't think that's the carpet." said Uniqua. "It sounds...different."
Uniqua parked the truck. The truck's tires screeched as they stopped. Uniqua and Pablo stepped out and ran to the back of their truck. It's doors were firmly closed. The barking and hissing sounds were still coming from the inside of it.
"What could it possibly be?" asked Pablo, feeling a little relucktant to open the truck's back doors.
"There's only one way to find out." said Uniqua.
They both opened the back doors of the truck.
A large statue of a gold cat, followed by a large gold statue of a dog, sprung out of the truck!
"Ahhhhhh!" yelled Pablo and Uniqua ducking. But the cat and dog statues just ignored them.
Uniqua and Pablo looked up. The dog statue was chasing the cat around in circles, barking and meowing at each other.
"It's those cat and dog statues!" yelled Uniqua, pointing at the two statues.
"Wow!" said Pablo.
Suddenly, the cat stopped running and turned around to face the dog. The dog (who was still running) crashed into the cat. The cat cat arched its back, hissing at the dog. The dog continued barking loudly. The cat hissed even louder and then -with its massive, sharp claws- gave swat at the dog's head.
"CRINK!" the dog's left ear broke off and landed in the sand. Pablo and Uniqua gasped.
The dog began to whimper and climbed back into the truck. The cat started running around the truck in circles and then, in its anger, the cat swatted at one of the truck's rubber tires! The tire got punchered and all of the air in it escaped through the gapping claw mark. The cat quickly started to run away.
"After it, Pablo!" yelled Uniqua, running after it.
"Wait! Uniqua!" yelled Pablo after her. She kept running.
"Hey! You!" yelled Uniqua to the gold cat statue. The cat turned to her and hissed, arching its back again. Uniqua stopped. "Woah!" she said. The cat was about the same size as her -if not larger- so Uniqua knew that there would be no sense in trying to make it go back to the truck. The cat continued running away into the distance as Uniqua ran back to the truck.
Pablo picked up the dog's gold ear. Uniqua looked at the truck's punchered wheel. "This tire is beyond repair and we don't have a spare one!" said Uniqua.
"And I bet the Sultan will notice THIS missing!" said Pablo, holding up the dog's ear.
"Not to mention the missing cat statue!" said Uniqua, sadly.
Uniqua's cell phone started ringing. She took it out of her pocket to answer it. "Movers of Arabia. We move Arabian things." said Uniqua.
"Hello? This is Sultan Tyrone."
Uniqua frowned. "Uh, Hi Sultan." she said.
"I just called to ask if my stuff is, like, say...if my phone book was okay?"
"On, your phone book is fine. It's not even dog-eared!" answered Uniqua, not realizing that she just made a joke about the dog statue's broken ear.
"Uh, okay..." said Tyrone. The dog suddenly whimpered loudly. "Wait, was that my golden dog statue whimpering?" asked the Sultan.
"Uh, yeah. I think he's just a little bored and lonely from the long trip. We're all feeling a little deflated." said Uniqua, secretly making a joke about the flat tire. "We'll see you at the palace, Sultan. Bye." she said, quickly hanging up.
Uniqua suddenly had an idea. "I know! We can use a wish to fix everything!" she said, smiling.
Austin suddenly appeared in front of them in a puff of purple smoke. "Did somebody call for a wish?" he said smoothly.
"Genie!" Uniqua and Pablo both yelled. Uniqua ran up to him.
"Austin, I wish the truck's tire was fixed, the dog's ear was put back together, and the cat was back in the truck." Austin looked at her, surprised.
"Wha-three things?!" he turned to Pablo. "What have you movers done NOW?!"
Pablo tried to explain. "Well, it's a long story, but you see, we heard a noise when we were driving, so we opened the doors and the gold cat and dog statue were fighting. The got lose and the cat was mad at the dog for chasing it so it broke the dog's ear off, punchered our tires, and ran away." Pablo started panting from talking too fast.
Austin sighed. "Since you want me to do three things, it will cost you three wishes."
"What?!" yelled Pablo and Uniqua.
"I'm sorry, but those are the genie rules." said Austin, sounding genuinely sad.
"Oh, no! That's it for us! We're TOAST!" Yelled Pablo. He was starting to have one of his panic attacks.
"Pablo..." began Uniqua, but Pablo kept on talking.
"We're finished! We're gonna end up using up all of our wishes until we run out!"
"Pablo?..." said Austin, trying to help.
"We're gonna get fired by the Sultan! And on our first job! It'll be a miracle if we can make it to the Sultan's palace in one piece!" screamed Pablo, flapping his arms around.
"PABLO!" yelled both Uniqua and Austin.
"Yeah?" asked Pablo, calmly.
"We can still get to the Sultan's palace. We're the Movers of Arabia, and we never give up!" said Uniqua, who began marching on the spot as all of them started singing.
A/N: This song has the same rythm as the 'Astronauts Never Give Up' song from the 'Mission to Mars' episode.
P & A: We're stuck...
A: In the middle of nowhere, with stuff from a cave...
P: In a big sandy desert, and I'm not feeling brave...
A: And we lost that cat statue, that's what bothers me most...
P: My calculations say...we're pretty much toast.
U (speaking): You guys, we're movers! And real movers never give up!
U: Who drove all this way through this big sandy place,
To do their new job for the whole human race?
Who's skill got us out of that big thunder shower? Who's skill was that?
A: That it have to be ours.
U: Yes, we can't get, that cat under contro-ol,
And yes our special truck's got a really deep ho-ole,
And yes we don't know quite how to fix the ear of Rover, but none of that means that the story is over!
'Cause real movers never give up, my friends! real movers never give up!
P & A: Real movers never give up?
U: That's right! Real movers never give up!
We're the bravest, we're the strongest, plus we work the hardest. Real movers never give up!
We took the mover pledge, the true mover oath.
P: Well, which one was it?
U: Pretty sure it was both.
When we took that pledge, it said no matter what,
You never call it quits, no 'if's, 'and's, of 'but's!
'Cause astronauts never give up, my friends, astronauts never give up! Sing it!
P & A: Real movers never give up, no sir! Real movers never give up!
"Okay, fine." said Uniqua, "I wish the cat was back in the truck. I wish the the dog's ear was fixed. And I wish the truck's tire was also fixed."
"Your wish is my command." said Austin, clapping his hands. Out of nowhere, the cat statue landed in front of them! It seemed a lot calmer and tamer than before. Austin pointed to the truck and the golden cat jumped into it.
Then Austin clapped his hands again. The dog statue stepped forward and the dog's ear floated out of Pablo's hands. It was placed back onto the dog's head and in a flash of purple light, all of the cracks showing where it had been slashed off disappeared. It looked as if it never happened. The dog leaped into the truck and the back doors closed.
Austin clapped his hands one more time and the claw marks on the truck's tire repaired itself in a glow of purple magic.
"Piece of cake." said Austin, snapping his fingers. Pablo, Uniqua, and Austin disappeared and re-appeared in the the truck.
"Thank you so much Genie!" said Uniqua.
"Yeah, thanks, Genie." said Pablo.
"My pleasure." said Austin, bowing, "Five wishes down-two to go." he said, disappearing into the bottle.
"Only two wishes left?! This is bad." said Pablo.
"It's okay, Pablo. We just have to be really, really careful." said Uniqua.
She pulled the lever beside the seat and the thruck started up. She turned the the steering wheel and the truck drove back onto the road.
