Useless Princess

Bath

Honestly, I had no idea where Entrapta went. She had been gone for about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, I had been petting Claire. Her fur was a bit dirty and matted, which I assumed was just from living outside.  

I attempted to clean her off a bit with my hands, but it didn't do anything. The cat clearing enjoyed it, though. She was rubbing up against my arm and purring loudly. Until Entrapta burst into the room. Hurriedly, Claire jumped off of the bed and hid under the bed.  

"Aww, I'm so sorry, Claire! I didn't mean to scare you!" she exclaimed loudly as she set a bowl of cat food and a bowl of water on the ground near her bed, then she looked up at me. "Sorry I took so long! I got lost," Entrapta explained, "Claire! Come here! It's okay!"   

A small meow came from under the bed, and slowly, Claire creeped out from under the bed. Entrapta let out a small giggled and immediately went to go pick her up. "She's a bit dirty," I commented. Suddenly, Entrapta gasped loudly. I looked up at her in confusion. 

"We should give her a bath!" she told me. "A bath? Would she like that?" 

"Probably not, but if she's dirty we should probably bathe her. Come on, let's go to your bathroom! Mine is just, uh, full of bots," she said with a small smile, then she grabbed my hand firmly, "Let's go!" 

Entrapta basically dragged me down the hall, Claire still in her arms. She was mumbling something to the cat she was holding which I found adorable. 

Once we had gotten to my bathroom, Entrapta shut the door behind us and let Claire onto the ground. The cat ran over to the door, a bit scared and confused. I went over to sit by her as I watched Entrapta trying to figure out how we would wash Claire. There was so actual bath in here.  

"Okay! How about we just shower her?" Entrapta suggested with a small snort of laughter. "That works," I replied with a smile, giggling slightly. I watched as she turned the shower on and got it the right temperature. With a hum of approval, she turned away from she shower and towards me. "Okay! Come here!"  

After I picked up the tiny cat, I stood up and walked over to her. Without a word, Entrapta took Claire from my hands and slowly tried to get her into the shower. She didn't seem to mind the water, actually. When Entrapta put her down on the floor of the shower, she stood still and let us touch her and move her around. There were a few attempted escapes which resulted in Entrapta and I both having soaking wet clothes and us loudly laughing. Entrapta kept muttering apologizes to the poor cat as she tried to scrub the dirt from her coat. I had to search the cabinets and drawers for something I could use as a brush for Claire's fur. I found an actual cat brush after a while of looking which kind of confused me. Entrapta told me she had never had a pet before. 

I grabbed a towel and helped Entrapta get Claire out. Right after, rowdy meows filled the room. Entrapta continued to apologize to her, genuinely feeling bad. She tried to hurry and dry her off with the towel I fetched. 

"I know, Claire, I am so sorry! You were just dirty!" she shouted at the cat. In reply, Claire let out a a few mewls before calming down. I was actually glad she did because it was a lot easier for me to brush her down. I got out a few of the tangles and mats in her fur, but not all of them. Her coat was now white without dirty spots all over her. She was very pretty. Her yellow eyes seemed to stare into my soul, but still. Pretty cat.  

Entrapta dragged us back to her room after we were done.  

"I know it's not night, or not even close, but do you want to lay down for a minute? We can just talk! And cuddle with Claire!" 

Apparently she didn't care about my reply because she took me over to the bed before I could say anything. Entrapta got settled on the bed and then pulled me on. The white cat came over and decided to lay on Entrapta's chest. 

(A/N: HEY, I FINALLY UPDATED! Sorry that took so long, I've been busy with a lot of stuff lately and I just didn't have time to get to it. I'm also struggling because I don't know what to write next. I have the end planned out, but nothing until then... but I was thinking of ending this fic early and then started a new Entrapta fic? Not an x reader, just a normal Entrapta fic. Tell me what you guys think please. Also, sorry this chapter sucks, it was rushed and it's like, 3 am for me and I'm half asleep.  

Also, it's a coincidence because I got a new cat today 😋)
