The 12 days of fluffmas, day 3 - seeing Christmas lights with Entrapta
Pairing: Entrapta x gender neutral reader (can be read as either platonic or romantic)
Content warning(s): really tiny angst in the middle, but it gets resolved by the end, I promise
The princesses of Etheria go all out when it comes to parties, and the one being held for the winter solstice was no exception
Entrapta obviously got an invite as a princess herself, and she decided to take you with her as her plus one
The two of you arrived together, excited to experience all the things a typical princess party had to offer- great food, dancing, and of course seeing the other princesses themselves
You, however, were most of all excited to see the lights they would have up for the party
Ever since you were younger, whenever it came to celebrating the holiday season, the lights were always your favorite part
So imagine your disappointment when there were none once you finally got there
I mean, they had lights, sure, but they were more simplistic than they were the actual statement piece
It was such a trivial thing to get upset over, but you figured if they were to go above and beyond with everything that came to the planning of the party, they would do the same with the lights
Entrapta didn’t notice you were so upset at first, as she was being her usual scatterbrain self, but when she finally did that’s all she was focused on
“Oh, wow, look at that thing over there-! Oh, no, you’re frowning, that can’t be a good sign. Is it because I stole your finger sandwiches, or is it due to something else?”
You weren’t even able to finish your sentence of why you were upset before she threw her plate of food to the side and rushed off without saying another word
‘It’s nothing,’ you thought to yourself. ‘Entrapta does stuff like that all the time, no big deal’
It soon became one, however, when you waited, and waited, and she still hadn’t returned
You felt like crying, unsure as to why she left in such a hurry
Was it something you said? Did she perhaps think you were sounding ungrateful after being chosen as her plus one?
After all, she didn’t have to bring you with her, she could’ve taken one of her robot creations instead
You returned back to her castle with a heavy heart, hoping you could just sleep off the hurt that you were feeling, until you noticed there was something off
It was quiet, too quiet
Usually there was some sort of noise that was an indication to the several robots that resided within, but there wasn’t
Until Entrapta suddenly appeared next to you with the biggest smile on her face
“Hey! I’m so glad you’re here! I have something really important to show you, now come on!”
Before you could protest or even question what was going on, she was dragging you down the hall, all the way to her lab
“Wait right here!” She commanded as she scurried off again
You did as she asked, although it wasn’t like you had much of a choice, seeing as the room was completely dark
All of a sudden, the entire room brightened all at once, causing you to cover your eyes with your hands immediately at such a bright ray of light
Once you were finally able to look again, you noticed what was making the room so bright- lights
There were lights upon lights everywhere, entire strings of them zigzagging around the lab, lighting it up with its tacky colors
For the second time that night you felt like crying, but it wasn't from sadness this time, it was from joy (that and the brightness of everything)
After dimming the lights a bit so you wouldn’t both go blind, Entrapta made her way over to you yet again, wanting to know your thoughts
You responded by giving her a gigantic hug, thanking her for the gesture and for giving you the best gift anyone could ever ask for
