<h2 id="fictional-character-biography">Fictional character biography</h2> <p>According to the February 22, 1963, edition of <i><a href="/facts/TV_Guide/T29FpwBp">TV Guide</a></i>, Pebbles was born at the <a href="/facts/Bedrock_(The_Flintstones)/b4FEjGwF">Bedrock</a> Rockapedic Hospital on February 22, 10,000 BC. That particular year was never actually cited within the show itself; most versions of the show put the Flintstones' era as around 1,000,000 BC. </p><p>As an infant, Pebbles quickly became lifelong best friends with her next-door neighbor, Bamm-Bamm Rubble.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:2" href="#fn:2"><sup>2</sup></a> </p><p>As a pre-teen, Pebbles was an excellent baseball player, which led to a misadventure involving her father, as seen in the 1978 primetime special <i><a href="/facts/The_Flintstones%3a_Little_Big_League/Yyr0gD4s">The Flintstones: Little Big League</a></i>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:3" href="#fn:3"><sup>3</sup></a> </p><p>By the time she was a teenager, Pebbles began dating Bamm-Bamm and was noted for getting their friends into various misadventures, mostly due to sharing her dad's penchant for schemes that would inevitably backfire (such as causing a strike by Bedrock's city employees when she was elected honorary mayor for a week<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:4" href="#fn:4"><sup>4</sup></a>). She and her friends attended <a href="/facts/Bedrock_High_School/b4FEjGwF">Bedrock High School</a>; Pebbles had a catchphrase similar to her father's: "Yabba-Dabba-Doozie!"<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:5" href="#fn:5"><sup>5</sup></a> </p><p>As an adult, Pebbles pursued a career in <a href="/facts/Advertising/Hgz271hW">advertising</a> and married Bamm-Bamm.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:6" href="#fn:6"><sup>6</sup></a> After this, the newly married couple moved to Hollyrock, a fictional, prehistoric version of <a href="/facts/Hollywood%2c_Los_Angeles/hF4zF5n6">Hollywood</a>, <a href="/facts/California/zLW2vdQJ">California</a>.
