Dustin panicked, after remembering that he was chewing on Ty, and spat him out. Ty hit the ground with a wet *Splat*.
Dustin looked down at Ty and discovered that he looked like a peach-colored piece of gum.
He almost thought that he might have killed Ty, when he saw the Ty-gum wiggle slightly.
Dustin was relieved that he hadn't killed Ty, but also worried, because he saw no sign of Ty returning to his original shape.
He was thinking about what to do, when he heard the door being opened again.
Not being able to pick Ty up in time, Dustin did the first thing he could think of to hide him, and slammed his foot down on the Ty-gum.
He looked to the door, expecting to see Steph again, and saw the Janitor comming in.
The Janitor didn't seem to pay much attention to Dustin, and started cleaning the floor.
Dustin, making sure that the Janitor wasn't looking at him, lifted his foot to look for Ty, only to see that he wasn't there.
He almost started panicking again, when he remembered that Ty was currently like gum, and looked at the sole of his shoe.
Dustin saw the Ty-gum sticking to the sole and wanted to peel him off, but decided to wait until he was alone to do it.
The rest of the day was fairly uneventful for Dustin.
He managed to get away with saying that Ty had gotten sick and went home, when he was asked where Ty was.
After finally arriving home, Dustin immediately took his shoes off, brought the to his room and locked the door.
He sat down on his bed and looked at the sole of the shoe that Ty was stuck to.
What he saw looked like an old piece of gum that was stuck to the sidewalk.
Dustin used a pencil to carefully peel Ty off of his shoe and put him down on a piece of paper.
He looked closely at the Ty-gum, but couldn't see any movements.
