Reidy tells a first day of school story from the point of view of a pet left behind by a child. So Truman finds a way out of his aquarium and makes a long journey towards the apartment door. And down on the street, Sarah boards a bus for the first time! Truman tries to wait for Sarah to return, but she is gone much longer than she ever has been before.
