"Are we anywhere near the Sultan's palace?" asked Pablo, who had been staring out the window for what felt to him like ages.

"We get there when we get there." said Uniqua, calmly.

"YARRR!!!" yelled a loud sound from the behind them.

Suddenly, a loud 'CLANK' came from the back of the truck.

"What the..." said Uniqua, stopping the truck.

"Is that the cat statue again?" asked Pablo.

"Oh, no, not again!" thought Uniqua out loud, "But wait... I don't hear barking. Or hissing."

The two movers stepped out of the truck.

"Hey look!" yelled Pablo, pointing at their moving truck.

A small green lizard-like creature was clinging to the side of their vehicle holding a small pinkish-purple jewel.

"It's a desert kobold!" yelled Pablo, realizing what the strange creature was.

"And it's got one of the Sultan's treasures! Come on!" yelled Uniqua. She began running.

The confused kobold jumped down, landing on the sand and started running away from Mover Uniqua. Uniqua kept chasing him. When she finally reached him beside a large river, Uniqua grabbed the jewel, but the kobold held on, screaming "Yip! Yip! Yip!", which clearly meant 'Let go! Mine!'.

Uniqua and the kobold were in a tug-of-war for some time. Until...

"SPLASH!" The kobold's grip slipped on the jewel, causing Uniqua to fall backwards into the river.

Pablo rushed over. "Uniqua!" he cried out. Uniqua was trying to doggie paddle to shore, but the river's current was too strong.

Suddenly, Austin appeared. He looked at Pablo and followed his gaze to the splashing Uniqua.

"What happened?!" yelled Austin, panicing (but not as much as Pablo).

"Uniqua fell into the river!" said Pablo, getting another panic attack, "Oh no, oh no! Uniqua fell in the river! Uniqua fell in the river!" Pablo started running in circles, his arms in the air.

"Pablo." said Austin. "Don't worry Uniqua! Don't PANIC!"

"Pablo?" repeated Austin.

"Hello? You guys, I'm over here." said Uniqua, trying to stay afloat. She had grabbed onto a large rock in the middle of the river and was waiting to be rescued.

"Don't panic Austin! We'll find a way to save you Uniqua! Don't lose your head! Just stay calm!"

"PABLO!" yelled Austin.

Pablo stopped running. "Yeah?" he asked calmly.

"Quick! Use a wish and then I can save her!" he said urgently.

"Oh, right," said Pablo, "I wish Uniqua was rescued."

With super-human speed, Austin dove into the water and swam to Uniqua. He carried her in his arms as they flew to dry land.

Uniqua sat in the hot sand, her mover uniform soaked, and waited for her clothes to dry. The Sultan's pinkish-purple gem safely in her pocket.

"What on earth were you doing in that river!" yelled Austin, upset.

"Drowning?" replied Uniqua.

A small smile of amusement lit Austin's face. "Couldn't you have fallen in a smaller river?" he asked, annoyed that he was also soaking wet.

"Ah, but who would have saved me then?"

Austin didn't answer. He just smiled.

Suddenly, Uniqua's cell phone rang. She pulled it out.

"Movers of Arabia, we move Arabian things." said Uniqua.

"Hello. It's Sultan Tyrone again. I was just wondering how long you were going to be."

"Oh, we'll be there in no time, Sultan. Don't worry." said Uniqua.

"You haven't got a flat tire have you?"

Uniqua gulped, remembering how the truck's tires were slashed earlier.

"Um, everything's going swimmingly."

Tyrone didn't seem to be buying it.

"Is the desert heat getting to you or something?" he asked.

"Oh, trust me, we've found ways to cool off."

Austin scoffed and rolled his eyes at this joke.

"Okay, if you say so. Bye." said Tyrone, hanging up.

Uniqua turned to Pablo and Austin. "Let's go, we've got to hurry."

They all got in the truck. Uniqua turned the key to the truck.

It didn't start.
