Sahara Page #5

Synopsis: Two clans of snakes cohabit in the desert. Beautiful green serpents that live under the shelter of an oasis, protected and venerated by men and venomous snakes that survive in the sand, dust and heat, hunted and killed by the Tuaregs. Here is the story of Ajar, a young venomous serpent, laughed at by his peers because he still has not done his first molt and that of Eva, rebellious princess of the oasis who wants to escape an arranged marriage. These two will meet and fall in love. Alas, Eva will be kidnapped by the Tuaregs and Ajar, accompanied by his best friend, Pitt the Scorpion, will have to cross the ruthless Sahara to save Eva from the terrible fate awaiting her.

If you got yourself into another hole,

I'm gonna...

Over here!

Check it out! It's a Fogara!

Kinda like an underground river.

- Fascinating.

- Don't you get it?

These things bring water

to villages, cities.

Like Souksoukville, for instance.

We get in, take a ride, and there we are.

Uh, no.

- We'd better stick with the surface.

- Oh, it's gonna take days.

We're not even sure that foga-thing

goes to Souksoukville.

Well, it goes somewhere.

Listen, I can't swim, okay?

Hm?

I live in the desert.

We don't do a lot of surfing over here.

Well, looks like we'll die

in the storm anyway.

Besides, i... wait, what?

Ready?

I can't believe the last thing

I'll ever see is your face.

I take that as a yes.

Whoo-hoo!

- Oh, boy.

- Look out.

- Swim!

- I'm trying!

When I was young, I used to wait

on my master and give him his plate

and pass him the bottle

when he got dry

and brush away the blue tail fly

Jimmy, crack corn, I don't care

Come inside!

Huh? Oh.

Okay, we've gotta find the man

who kidnapped Eva.

- Uh, Omar?

- I don't know his name.

Tall, skinny, scary-faced?

- His shop is that way.

- Huh?

That's him.

Let's use the rooftops. It's safer.

Ohh.

What?

- What are you doing?

- Nothing.

Look, Eva. Shh.

Let me speak.

I understand why you and I

will never be a thing.

It's no problem.

We are all looking

for different things in life.

You'll see, you'll get used to it.

It's not that bad a life.

It's just...

It's not what I imagined my life

would be like.

It never is.

Oh, boy.

Hey, where are you going?

You know what? You're right.

It's not like we crossed a whole desert

and almost died, like, 26 times

in horrifying ways to get here.

So? Are you coming or not?

Have you seen this guy?

You don't stand a chance

with a guy like that.

So out of your league, bro.

- Are you done?

- Well, that depends.

Are you just gonna stand there and whine

or are you gonna save my sister?

Did you put up with me

all those miles for nothing?

Huh, huh? Yeah!

- Ajar?

- No, it's George.

- Oh, it's my brother!

- Your brother's name is ajar?

- He's her boyfriend?

- That's so romantic.

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

She's dating her brother?

Wait. Just hold it there.

I can't hold on anymore.

Who's there?

Ah.

What have you done?

- Ajar, you came.

- Let's go!

Trying to escape, my cuties?

Do you really think

you can get away from me?

You stupid worm.

You think your venom can hurt me?

Gary! As long as Omar has his flute,

he controls us.

Your venom runs in my veins!

You're mine!

No! Ah! Come back!

That belongs to me.

Oops.

- Oops again.

- You're going to pay for this.

You're all going to pay!

Ah!

Ajar?

Ajar?

Ajar! Oh, no.

Ajar. Are you all right?

- Oh, please, no.

- Breathe.

- Ajar!

- I knew it.

- Oh, sorry.

- Still hurts.

Your skin.

Pretty.

That's gonna be high maintenance.

You... you crossed the desert for me?

I would have crossed a thousand.

Ah.

Huh?!

Huh?

- So, who's the man?

- Pitt!

Oh, buddy, I missed you so much.

Wow.

- Is this new?

- Long story.

You remember Eva?

I don't believe

I've met your friend over there.

Yeah. Um...

Ajar, this is Emily.

Emily, this is...

Oh, Pitt told me so much about you.

I mean, the glow worms,

the snake killer birds,

the attack of the mongooses,

the ride on the back of the oryx,

the man-eating lions.

I know about everything.

And knowing Pitt like I do,

I'm sure he was really modest about it.

Here we go!

Welcome, my friends,

to our discovery tour of the Sahara.

By the way, do you dance?

You know, I just love dance.

Ballet, tutus,

all that kind of stuff.

Mm.

That is so weird.

Because I just love

handsome, super rich heirs!

We were so meant for each other.

Hm?

I know. You're wondering if ajar

and Eva will go back to the oasis,

love each other forever and help everyone

live happily ever after as equals? Hm?

Uh... yeah.

Mm... No idea.

I cross the desert to reach my goal

they call me a loser

I don't care at all

I'm trying to find

miss sweet, miss soul

they say I'm too shy to play this role

I feel all right

I know where I'm from

you can lean on me

soon I'll take you home

we're gonna work this out

it's gonna be all right

what people say

let them say

I'm on my way

gonna make it sway

what people say

let them say

I'm on my way

gonna make it sway

imagination is there another world

your imagination's the greatest Pearl

got a million dreams

I want to give back

I'd rather be a dreamer

than wasting my life

come back, come back

just hold on tight

I'll play my tricks

from the morn to the night

I can feel the heat

and I feel all right

yeah, I feel all right

what people say

let them say

I'm on my way

gonna make it sway

what people say

let them say

I'm on my way

gonna make it sway
