At the Royal Woods school, Mrs. Johnson sat on her desk and checked some exams when somebody entered the room... Through the window. That someone was Luan Loud, who flinched the instant the woman turned to look at her.
"H-Hello, Mrs. Johnson," the comedian nervously greeted. For some reason, she couldn't help but feel extremely anxious around the woman's presence. "L-Lincoln told me you told him that you needed to talk to me? And why did you ask me to enter through the window and not the door?"
"Yes, I actually do have to discuss something with you," the redheaded lady answered, but not before showing Luan a pair of buckets filled with water. "But first, we need to do something about these buckets, don't you think?"
The comedian raised an eyebrow and tilted her head, only for her to realize what the woman was talking about once they got into the hallway, where Luan stood next to the classroom door while holding both buckets of water as Mrs. Johnson watched.
"So how long am I supposed to stand in place, holding these buckets?" the prankster inquired, forcing a smile as she tried her hardest to hold the buckets.
"Until I tell you it's enough," the teacher sternly answered.
The comedian frowned. "Listen, back when I was child, it was common to punish students who arrived late or were too unruly by making them stand outside the classroom, in one location, holding a pair of buckets filled with water," Mrs. Johnson explained before leaning closer to Luan. "Buckets... Filled with water... Does that remind you of something?"
The comedian didn't answer. "Something that would have probably angered me enough to punish you this way today?"
"No, I really don't," Luan nervously answered. Hey, better being honest and paying for it than lying and paying even worse for it.
"I'm punishing you with this because I'm angry you never said you were sorry for dumping a bucket filled with water on my head!" the redheaded woman answered, pinching the bridge of her nose. "I mean, I was in the middle of class, in the middle of your brother's presentation, and you simply threw the bucket at me like it was no big deal. And you never apologized for it!"
With the truth being blatantly told right in front of her face, Luan looked at the ground with regret. She did sort of remember that incident, but due to being so busy with her own comedic escapades, the prankster never really gave the event much thought.
So, the prankster took a deep breath and replied:
"I'm sorry, Mrs. Johnson. I was just joking around, I-I honestly didn't expect to get so riled up about it. I should've apologized when I had the chance... I'm sorry..."
Satisfied by the answer, the woman crossed her arms and nodded. "Apology accepted. Put the buckets down, and go back home."
Luan gleefully obliged and put the buckets down before bolting her way out of the school... Only to be shocked when a water bucket fell over her head once she opened the main doors.
"Oh, so that's why she asked me to enter through the window!" Luan exclaimed from afar while the redheaded woman chuckled. "Good one, Mrs. Johnson!"
