Note: Happy new year

  ---------------------------------------------------

  Sara fell asleep shortly after finishing her meal, tired of a long day without sleeping. Even when she tried to sleep a little in her begging spot, the worry she had didn't let her relax enough to manage to sleep profoundly, only a light sleep

  It was only after finally eating something and manage to tink of something unrelated to everything that happened that she finally relaxed enough to instantly fall asleep

  The next day, Sara woke up on the couch with a blanket over her

  After looking around a little, she found Cat on the table using a laptop and drinking some coffee

  "Good morning"(Sara) said to cat

  It was a habit since she got from her brother, that always said good morning when she woke up, so she always answered back, or said first if she woke up before him

  "Good morning kid. Go brush your teeth and take a bath.The bathroom is the left door over there"(Cat) said while pointing at the bathroom door

  "Brush my teeth?"(Sara) showed a confused face

  Meanwhile, Cat showed an expression of shock. Was it possible she didn't know what brushing your teeth was? was what her face said

  "You don't know what brushing your teeth is?"(Cat)Surprised

  Sara, on the other hand, shake her head

  It must be understood that she was raised by a kid from the slums. I can't say for sure if Max knew what brushing your teeth meant, but he probably didn't know or didn't like it like most kids. As for Sara, since she didn't watch TV, she never saw a Colgate add or learned from a grown up or in school about it

  Besides, dental care isn't something a slum kid can really afford

  Still, it was a big shock for Cat. It was one of the thinks you first learn when you are a kid, like it or not

  "Follow me kid"(Cat) said while getting up from her chair and going to the bathroom

  Sara followed her shortly after

  Inside, she took a package with two brush inside, one blue and one pink, and open it

  She gave the pink one to Sara and she took the blue one for herself

  And she taught Sara how to brush her teeth

  I could explain all the process, like Cat explaining and showing while Sara tried her best to imitate, and kind of failed thanks to using a brush too big for her

  But you do know how to brush your teeth, right? What a youtube video otherwise

  Anyways, Cat managed to teach Sara to some extend all the process of brushing your teeth and told her she must do it 3 times a day

  Sara, on the other hand, wasn't happy about doing it 3 times a day but decided to do it anyway since big sis for her to do it

  Who is big sis? Cat obviously. Cat told Sara to call her big sis for now on while explaining how to brush her teeth and Sara agreed without hesitation

  To Sara, Jess was only her sister, John her brother and Max her big brother, so she didn't mind calling Cat big sis. Besides, Cat had been kind to her so far, so she was even a little happy when Cat said that

  Why wouldn't she? Kids are simple, you are nice to them, and they like you. You are not nice to them, and they hate you. Cat was one of the few people that had been nice to Sara in her whole life, so of course she would be happy to call her big sis

  If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

  Even if she forced her to do two of the things that small kids hated to do the most, brushing your teeth, and what would come next

  The infamous and completely hateful thing for kids called taking a bath

  It hasn't been explicitly told in the story, but it isn't hard to imagine that the hygiene of a slum kid isn't exactly the best

  And by not the best I mean even a street dog smelled better than Sara

  A bath is an unnecessary luxury for a slum kid. Besides, it was unproductive since smelling like sh-t helps get pity from people, allowing them to earn more money

  So even Sara, that could only count to 30, would be able to count how many times she took a bath

  Not like she actually counted, but she could

  IF you add the months of time without a bath, plus all the dust and blood from the factory and who knows what else, she looked like a mess

  Luckily, Cat forced Sara to eat the pizza with a napkin, or she may also have to worry for a stomach infection

  Well, she may have to worry anyways, since Sara didn't eat "clean" food all the time, or even bother to wash her hands

  Anyways, Sara looked like sh-t, so Cat forced her to take a bath after brushing her teeth, and I must tell you, it wasn't easy

  Not because Sara refused to take a bath. She may not have wanted to take one, but she didn't want to defy Cat

  No, the reason was the layer of dirt Sara had developed over time

  It was really hard to take off

  They only had a cheap sponge and regular soap, so it was really hard to take all that dirt and who knows what else from Sara's skin

  And it's not like her hair was much better

  Even a super powered person with muscle memory couldn't find a way to solve the problem

  All that Cat could do was simply work hard until the problem was solved

  Sara had so much dirt on her, that the water in the bathtub almost turned solid

  Well, not really, but you get the point

  It was definitely a death wish try to even drink a little bit of it

  They worked for who knows how long, but they finally succeeded after a long time and effort

  At the end of it, Sara almost looked like a normal 5-year-old girl (except for having her skin all pink and been a little skinny)

  Cat felt a sense of accomplishment and Sara felt hurt all over the place, her opinion about definitely didn't improve after all that

  Happy ending, right? welllllllll, not exactly

  There was a tiny little problem they had to solve after all that trouble

  Can you guess it?

  Cat had a nice place, with electricity, running water, gas, cable, internet necessary tools and food

  The place was designed to solve any daily necessity that Cat would have in case she needed to lay low for a while

  Any daily necessity that Cat would have it the point I am trying to make

  After doing all that hard work, and finally cleaning all the dirt and stuff Sara had on her, she still had to wear something afterwards

  And all she had to wear was the dirty mess that she was wearing before.......
