Betty was still shaken by the shock of children so happily walking into the rolling beast. The man and the lady petted her back to calm, only to have the added shock of another bus pulling up loudly near them. This one was mostly dirty white and the other people who had been standing headed toward it. The lady gave Betty one last stroke of the ear and walked off in the direction of the bus. Betty called to her not to go, but the man shushed and the lady went anyway.
Betty couldn't understand it and worried that the man might be waiting for yet another beast. But he set her firmly down, scratched the back of her neck and declared "Time to head back home, sweet Betty."
