A/N- Hi, everyone. Soooo, I'm doing this writing challenge that runs through all of 2012. But I only joined today, so I'm trying to catch up (I'm doing 200,000 words). What does that mean for you? Lots of randomness! Starting now. : )

Anyway, I reccommend reading Pablo's New Toy before you read this, but it isn't nessecary. Oh, and I also 'borrowed' a part form Harry Potter here (its the second flashback).

By the way, the worman is Sherman the Worman from the jungle episode.

Once upon a time...

Wait, no! Wrong begining! That's for a fantasy. This story is a tragedy; poor Pablo the penguin has a cold.

*flashback*

He caught it in his kindergarten class. His teacher was showing them a movie about avoiding germs since flu season was starting. The annoying narrator on the screen was telling them, 'Never pick your nose and eat it, kids!'

Pablo, always a risk-taker, stopped with his snot-covered finger half way to his mouth. "Oh, yeah? Watch me!" With that, he sucked the booger off with a long satisfied slurp. "Mm-mm-mm, yummy!" Then, he was struck with a sudden idea. "And watch me do this, too!"

"Hey, get off of me!" Tasha yelled as Pablo pounced on her and dug a booger from her nose. But it was too late; Pablo was already eating it.

*end of flashback*

So now Pablo was sick from 'Tasha cooties.' To make matters worse, his mommy (Crazy Penguin Lady, as he called her) refused to put any Windex (mountain berry scent, specifically) into his orange juice.

Pablo was depressed, so he did what he always did to cheer himself up; played with a chainsaw.

"PAAAAAAAAABLOOOOOO!" Crazy Penguin Lady screamed. "What's going on up there? Why do I hear power tools?"

"You hear power tools because I'm playing with my chain saw. Duh! And I wouldn't be if it weren't for Tasha and her cooties."

"Well, she didn't force you to eat her boogie, sweetie."

"Oh, yes she did, mom!" Pablo yelled. "She used her super evil mind powers on me."

And then Pablo sneezed. A little yellow-and-orange thing popped out of his beak. A worman.

"What are you?" Pablo asked. Then he remembered something his mommy told him once...

*flashback*

It was October 31st, and Pablo was out trick-or-treating in London. He didn't quite know how he ended up in London, or why he was born ten years earlier than he was supposses to be, but sometimes life is just unpredictable like that.

A tall man with no nose came walking by.

"Hey, mister!" Pablo yelled. "Nice costume!"

The noseless man turned. He was wearing a, "Hi, my name is..." nametag. The name in the box was 'Voldemort,' which Pablo thought wasan odd name. Pablo was about to make fun of him for it, but his mommy (who had scary eighties hair) started to yell at him.

"Pablo! Never, ever talk to strangers."

*end of flashback*

And so, Pablo didn't talk to this strange worm that came from his nose. Instead, he did what any sane chain saw-loving penguin would do; he cut it into tiny pieces.

THE END
