Treasure Buddies Page #3

---

I'm practically naked without my bling.

This way, Buddies.

Yo, what's that, dawg?

It appears to be a sarcophagus, B-Dawg.

Where they put mummies in ancient Egypt.

Mummies?!

- Relax, they don't really come to life.

- I knew that, dawg.

Quick, hide. Someone is coming.

OK... OK, now tomorrow you must sell,

or...

OK? OK. Bye-bye.

Hey, what's wrong, little camel?

That mean human

stole me from my mother,

and he's trying to sell me.

You were taken from your mother?

That's awful.

I must find her. My tribe

is on their way into the desert.

If I don't catch up with them soon,

I might never see her again.

- Tribe?

- It is my family.

I belong with the Bedouin tribe.

We are travelers.

I get it. Kinda like my posse.

The name's B-Dawg.

- My name is Cammy.

- I'm Rosebud and these are my brothers.

Maybe we can help.

Mummy! Ahh!

- Babi!

- Is coast clear?

Babi, this is Cammy.

As-salaam alaikum, little camel.

Dudes, I hate to be a bummer,

but the door is locked.

We're stuck in here.

Babi going to solve

everyone's troubles.

You all sleep now.

Babi will go see what he can find out.

"It will lead you

to the water's path."

Perhaps someone misinformed you.

We're in the desert, there's no water.

- We're here.

- Ah!

"From the eye of the needle,

take direction from Thoth."

What do you think it means, Grandpa?

Thoth, the moon god,

take direction from the moon.

- The moon.

- "From the eye of the needle,

take direction from the moon.

On the 12th day,

the moon will light the way."

- There's a full moon tonight.

- That looks like a needle,

and there's a half-moon

carved in the top.

The obelisk! Peter, let's go!

Ahh.

- Oh, my. Dr. Wellington.

- Yes, yes, of course.

Incredible.

- What now?

- Well, now...

...we need to calibrate

the position of the beam

and coordinate it on the map.

Ah, given the height

of the tower...

...60 feet,

the light should be going

south by southeast, 86 miles.

And leading us... to this oasis.

Ah! They're heading to the oasis.

I must tell the Buddies.

- Buddies!

- What's up?

Your people are leaving in the morning.

They're on their way to oasis,

deep in desert.

Oasis? I've been there

with my tribe before.

That could be where they're headed, too.

I can show you the way.

And we can help you find your tribe.

Babi will hitch ride and slow them down.

Ohh.

- What are you thinking?

- How rad this is.

Mudbud would've loved it.

Knowing Mudbud, he's probably

off on an adventure of his own.

You know, for some reason,

Mudbud doesn't feel that far away.

Ahh! Bad man's truck.

Got it.

Upsy-daisy.

Chop-chop, my good man.

We're seven minutes behind schedule.

I know that whistle.

The man is coming to take me away.

Not ifwe have anything to do with it.

I've an idea, Cammy.

You up for it?

Anything to get back to my mom.

- Wow, gnarly loogey, dudette!

- Come on, Buddies, let's go!

Oh!

My beautiful camel! Oh!

Oh!

Now, the Buddies and

their newfound camel friend escape,

and follow Babi into the desert.

Where were you, Uncle Babi?

Babi hitch

a ride on top of truck.

Babi sneaky monkey.

Who are they, Grandpa?

They're Bedouins, Pete.

They're a nomadic people of the desert.

Hey, you, move your disgusting

beasts. I'm in a hurry.

You should be very careful.

This area is known

for bandits and thieves.

Safe travels.

Come on, guys. We just

have to make it to the oasis.

I'm running on fumes.

Cammy, aren't you hungry?

We camels were born

to survive in the heat,

and go a long time

without food and water.

We can regurgitate the food

in our stomach and re-chew it,

so we can go longer

without a meal.

- Eww. TMI, Cammy.

- Good idea.

- Budderball... gross.

- Mmm. I love leftovers.

What happened? What you do?

I told you, check out the truck

before we left.

- But I did.

- You did? Oh.

I swear, your brain

is the size of a monkey's.

For heaven's sakes,

what's wrong with it?

Is broken.

I don't suppose you know

anything about motorized vehicles?

Well, as a matter of fact, I do.

Well, let's see what the problem is.

Oh, my goodness.

Hose came loose.

Just put some coolant in it.

Look,

there's the oasis just up ahead.

How did all this grow

in the middle of the desert?

Even though

we're in the driest of places,

centuries ago, in Cleopatra's time,

there was a river here.

And that river is still

running deep underground.

We'll set up camp,

look for the next clue at daybreak.

All right.

- Are we close, Cammy?

- I... I am not sure, Rosebud.

I think so.

Aw, snap. We're doomed. Doomed!

- Think positively, B-Dawg.

- I am positive.

Positively sure we're lost

in the middle of the desert.

Do not worry, Buddies,

my tribe has been here.

There's some camel poop

on the ground right there.

That's camel poop all right.

We're gonna need a bulldozer

to clean up that mess,

'cause a pooper scooper

definitely's not doing it.

It's getting too dark

to follow their trail.

The dudette is correctomundo.

We'll rest here for the night,

and get our groove back tomorrow.

So, young Peter, what story

would you like to hear this time?

Can you tell me the story

about the Cat's Eye necklace?

All right.

The cat goddess, Bastet,

gave a special necklace

with a Cat's Eye jewel to Cleopatra,

the ruler of Egypt.

Cleopatra's favorite feline,

Cleocatra,

was furious that Bastet

gave the necklace to a human.

She decided to steal the necklace.

But a vigilant puppy, Buddasi,

saw Cleocatra.

And Cleopatra was so mad

over being betrayed

by her trusted cat,

that she used the necklace

to make dogs man's best friend.

And cats were banished from the palace.

Grandpa, is it gonna rain?

No, no. That's just dry lightning

from an electrical storm.

Happens all the time

out here in the desert.

Ah, looks far enough away.

I'm sure we're perfectly safe.

Time to hit the rack, though.

We have an early day tomorrow.

You get a good sleep.

I'm gonna go stretch

these old legs of mine.

Grandpa, thank you for

bringing me on this adventure.

It's my pleasure, Peter.

I couldn't ask for a better partner.

Mudbud, are you OK?

Yeah, I'm just sorry

I got us into this.

I'm really worried about Pete.

Fate set us on this path, Mudbud.

Every journey has a deeper reason.

Good night, Buddies,

you're the best of friends.

Sweet dreams, everybody.

Wake up, Buddies. It's morning.

Let's rock and roll. Who knows

how far ahead of us they are.

Hey, Grandpa,

I'm gonna go explore.

- Have you seen my compass?

- No. No, I haven't, Peter.

Well, you go ahead.

I'll join you in a minute.

- Ah!

- You got me.

- Hello, Farah.

- Hello, Peter.

- When did you get here?

- Late last night.

Sometimes we travel at night

when it is cooler.

Where are you going?

Our tribe is making

its way through the desert.

It is our way, nothing more.

Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to be nosy.

My daughter says you are here

with your grandfather.

This man you are traveling with...

...does your grandfather know him well?
