Reasons to Stay Inside
Pegacorns, pillow forts, and the power of friendship. Some battles you don’t have to fight alone.
Pedro used to run, skateboard, play soccer, and go to school... Not anymore. Pedro stays inside now.
His best friend Flora thinks that's boring and kind of freaky. But Pedro doesn't care. He's building a pillow fort (he would prefer you call it 'The Death Star'), and it's getting bigger. Every day, it's getting harder for Flora to reach him.
Pedro has the best reasons to stay inside, but Flora knows what he's missing. She will do whatever it takes to get her best friend to come outside.
You can't stay inside your fort forever, can you?
A show about best friends, a dancing pegacorn, pillow forts, and that weird anxious feeling.
