Little Em'ly asks why he's been following her around. He's worried that she's fallen in love with someone else. He tells her that kids shouldn't be falling in love, and that's why they're not allowed to do it. He also tells her not to run away from home, because he'll have to be lectured by his teacher the next day. The two of them head back to the house, where they find that the dog they were walking on has been leashed. The dog's name is pulaben, and he was recently found wandering around looking for his "hostess mother" . Um, okay, what's the deal with that? Um, well, it's not a good idea for a dog to be wandering around aimlessly. The little boy wonders who this guy is, and then he realizes that the phone call he got was from his future boyfriend, who he thinks is her future boyfriend. He asks her if she has a red-colored phone, and she tells him that she doesn't have one, because she thinks she got a call from "ah shu" when she was a third grader.
