Introduction:
Honestly, doing a story having Pablo from The Backyardigans was the perfect idea because I always imagined he would have autism and the fact that he wouldhave to go through his parents getting a divorce and since this is the 3rd story of Vol. 1, my friends will help and comfort him like they always do. Man, I really hope you enjoy this story.
Chapter 1: Before My Friends Arrived
For Pablo, his life couldn't have been better for him: has 4 friends who go on imaginary adventures with him, and most importantly, he was proud to be himself. Now, when it came to his parents, they made sure to raise him the right way. Now, here's something the show never mentioned: Pablo has autism. He was born with it and has never told anyone about it because he worried it could end his friendship with his friends. Everything was perfect for him but that is until one night, his world fell apart. It all started when his parents got into an argument. He could hear everything from his room and he worried nothing would be the same. Then all of a sudden, his mother says the words and I quote "I want a divorce." Those were the words no child would ever want to hear. For poor Pablo, his world was already falling apart because earlier that day, he learned that his 4 friends were moving away and that he wouldn't see them again. The next morning, his parents decided to have a talk with him. They told him that he will now live with his grandparents and they wished him the best of luck in the future and they also apologized for last night because they didn't mean to scare him. He was then packing everything he has from his room and once he got everything he got ready, he then waved goodbye to his home because he sadly never saw it ever again. While on his drive to his grandparents' house, he was thinking about the memories he had with his old friends. He even has a memory book of the pictures he and them did together. Once he arrived, he was quite suprised the house was bigger than his old home. He also saw that his cousins were there. Before he arrived, his grandparents had accepted them because they had nowhere to live. Once he got out, at first it was still new to him but once he got use to it, he felt right at his new home. Sadly, he's still recovering from his parents divorcing and his cousins couldn't play with him. His grandma and grandpa decided to give him space and the cousins
soon followed. That night while he was in bed, Pablo made a wish to a star and hoped someone or something would help him. What he didn't know was that wish he made was about to come true.
Chapter 2: My Friends Arrive
The next morning, Pablo decided to go outside to the forest to see if he can clear his mind of his parents' divorce. Once he was in the forest, he saw some foot prints and decided to follow it and see where it will take him. While he was walking on the path, he hoped his wish came true. Once the foot print path ended, he saw 5 hippos, a triple king sized polar bear, a reindeer, a black angus cow, a panther who could walk and talk like a human, and a white rhino. He couldn't believe it because he thought this was all a dream but really it wasn't.
Chapter 3: My Friends Help Out
Before he could ever say a word, Hilda started talking by saying "Hello Pablo, the name's Hilda and these are my friends: Peter, Ralph, Jack, Tom, Milo, Wendy, John, Michael, and Rocky. We came here for you because we heard that your parents got a divorce and we totally understand because the thought of parents getting a divorce is just a scary thing to go through but we're sure your parents still love you." While Pablo was hearing what she just said, he now realizes that his parents maybe just couldn't agree on something and maybe that's why it triggered the argument. Now, it was finally starting to make more sense to him.
Chapter 4: Pablo Finally Has Fun
For the first time since his parents divorced, he was finally having fun and it did mean a lot for him. When he was with my friends, he never felt alone or afraid anymore because my friends help him on one of his imaginary adventures where he was the hero of the story and my friends helped him with the journey. He was able to conquer his fears and he felt very brave from that point forward. When it was time for him to go home, he thanked my friends for helping and playing with him today. He also knows that whoever makes a wish upon a star, they will help he or she.
Chapter 5: Epilogue
After being with my friends, Pablo was now happy and playful like he has always been. He finally got to play with his cousins. He knew making a wish upon a star for my friends was the best thing he ever did.
