As she approaches the bus, Laura tries to pull out of the chaperone's grip, but it's too tight. Laura grabs the dice hoping a few less years will let her slip free. She tosses them to the ground a sees them tumble in front of one of the bus's wheels.
"Six years you have walked this Earth. Now this number is but four. Each roll of the dice returns more of what you have lost."
As Laura drops down to actual preschool status, she yanks free of the chaperone's grip and starts to dash for the dice. Only to be immediately apprehended.
"What have you been told about running off young lady?"
"But I need to go potty." Laura cringes as she blurts out the excuse. But she needs more time to get away and retrieve the dice.
