[After the class --on the bus-- arrives at the science museum, Mrs. Jenkins and Ms. Appleberry get off the bus. Mrs. Jenkins gets off first, then, Ms. Appleberry comes off next to her. Next, she --Ms. Appleberry-- counts students off the bus as they --one by one-- get off the bus.]
We are here, children. Quick sticks!
[counting] One, two, three, four...!
[When Ms. Appleberry says this, she counts Grace as number 1, Doris as number 2, Yoko as number 3, and Timothy as number 4. As the "count" pauses, Timothy --before getting off-- becomes excited.]
Oh boy! [gets off the bus] We are going to the museum. I cannot wait to go inside.
[It is revealed that Timothy's buddy/partner/teammate was Nora. In other words, "He was paired with Nora".]
[to the rest of the class] Everybody, find your buddy.
[As Timothy races to the museum's double front doors --still thinking Nora is with him-- the scene cuts to Ms. Appleberry. And she continues counting. The students --one by one during the count-- get off the bus. And now, Ms. Appleberry is at numbers 9 and 10. That is, as she says...!]
[resumes counting --and makes it up to ten] (Five, six, seven, eight), nine, ten...! (Ten? Only ten?)
[Someone is missing even though Nora was supposed to be number 11. That is, as Mrs. Appleberry says...!]
[gasps and puts her palm to her nose in confusion] Oh, my! We are one short! Someone is missing! (It must be Nora! Where did she go?!)
[The scene cuts to Timothy. Remembering that he --Timothy-- had Nora as his buddy, he --Timothy-- says...!]
Where is Nora?
[At first, Timothy thinks that still he has Nora. But since she's scared and won't go in, he realizes that she isn't there.]
Here she is.
I really want to go, Timothy. But I am scared.
Timothy? Nora? Is everything okay?
It is okay, Mrs. J. If Nora wants to stay on the bus with Henry, I should stay too.
But, Timothy, you love dinosaurs. You must go.
I am not going if you are not going.
[Everyone gasps if Nora is not going]
[changes her mind and decides to go] All right. But if you, Timothy, promise to hold my hand.
[Timothy scoops up Nora, cradles her, hugs her, and carries her.]
