Negligence is Punishable
Chapter 4
Previous ChapterAround 1:30 AM, the bonfire comes to an end and the students and other teachers, sans AJ and RD turn in for the night. As for RD and AJ, they begin to clean up all the mess. "Ugh," grumbles RD annoyed, "this is no fun."
"Guess this is what we get for being negligent and almost letting a student drown," says AJ. "We did wrong and now we're doing our due time for it."
Meanwhile back in her room, Yona falls fast asleep on the far and Ocellus throws a blanket over her with help from Silver Stream.
After three hours, RD andAJ finish cleaning up from the bonfire and turn in for the night themselves. As AJ tries to fall asleep, she can't help but think her mom and dad would be so disappointed in her for almost letting a child drown and this ends up keeping her awake for the rest of the night.
Around 7:00 that same morning, before school starts, AJ goes to the office and lets it all out in front of Twilight. "Twi, I feel so bad for almost letting Yona drown. I couldn't sleep last night because it kept me awake. I thought about how my parents would be so disappointed in me if they were alive for letting a child almost drown. I'm so sorry."
"Well, you're forgiven and I'm glad you learned your lesson," responds Twilight as she embraces Applejack in a hug. AJ is so glad Twilight has forgiven her. Now, if only she can learn to forgive herself.
