Meanwhile while this was happening, Alice and Alexia watched from behind the bushes.
"Do you think they are going to be in trouble?" asked Alexia.
"Yep! I heard Sergeant Athena is one of the meanest officers in the women's military wing and she gets a kick tormenting the male officers." replied Alice.138Please respect copyright.PENANAwNqVICEtVg
This made Athena scrunch up her face in disgust. "Yuck! It's a good thing you are stuck with the Sergeant Darth in the male military wing."138Please respect copyright.PENANAiOB89ptcnn
Alice smiled. "Yep! And it is all thanks to you!"138Please respect copyright.PENANActKD4lordq
As soon as the coast was clear, Alice quickly carried Alexia back to the pond and upon letting her go, Alexia dived into the water creating a huge splash with her blue shiny tail.138Please respect copyright.PENANAOj0usQwiSW
"Ahh! I thought I was going to die if I stayed outside for so long!" she gasped.
Alice stared at her and coughed. 138Please respect copyright.PENANA09PlrRt5U3
"What?"138Please respect copyright.PENANAWn68kPxIhE
She coughed again. "My reward?"
The anger on Alexia's face was visible. "Reward? For what?"138Please respect copyright.PENANAPdqXkLIoyd
"If I hadn't told you about their plan, they would have carted you away and sold your fish scales for a few bucks."138Please respect copyright.PENANAobkl8N2c99
"A few bucks! Do you know how valuable our scales are? You humans would have made a fortune if you hade a piece of it!"138Please respect copyright.PENANACFQgUXUnbV
"All the more reason why I saved your life." Alice pointed out.138Please respect copyright.PENANAKFQZfdxv7T
Alexia gritted her teeth and sighed. "Alright. What do you want? Immortality? Wealth? What is it?"138Please respect copyright.PENANANIo7iJfPbI
Alice hummed... "I heard winter is coming and the Serge is planning some fun things for us so..."138Please respect copyright.PENANAM8MIz9uCh6
"You want me to erase him from existence then?" asked Alexia.138Please respect copyright.PENANArGnZX9jPC6
"Can you give me the ability to resist the cold weather?"138Please respect copyright.PENANAOD5HVvntsD
Her request shocked Alexia. "You want me...to give you...the ability...to resist...the cold?"138Please respect copyright.PENANAhOdDBstWqG
Alice nodded her head.
"And you are picking that...over immortality and wealth?"138Please respect copyright.PENANAtSekK9OxNM
She nodded again shocking Alexia even more.138Please respect copyright.PENANA3QClkEVImt
"Why?"138Please respect copyright.PENANAQjHNFHw9cj
Alice shrugged. "I don't know. That was the first thing that came to my mind."
Left eye twitching at Alice's stupidity, Alexia swiped her hand over her face and dived into the pond. A few minutes later, she emerged holding a red pill in her hand.138Please respect copyright.PENANA8ixuLWiFam
"Take this and you won't feel the cold ever again."138Please respect copyright.PENANA09ZgQp0eO0
Eyes sparkling with excitement Alice took the pill, thanked her new friend and ran off to join the rest of the recruits for chow.138Please respect copyright.PENANAGFFr3b0R52
"That girl is so stupid." Alexia muttered under her breath.138Please respect copyright.PENANApb8re3PLkR
