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.366Please respect copyright.PENANAy6alG3r93M
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."366Please respect copyright.PENANAtgCZag6iLu
Alice smiled. "Yep! And it is all thanks to you!"366Please respect copyright.PENANAkIBj3cKlUx
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.366Please respect copyright.PENANAIqnfCwXXM8
"Ahh! I thought I was going to die if I stayed outside for so long!" she gasped.
Alice stared at her and coughed. 366Please respect copyright.PENANAETjw6Tk0ex
"What?"366Please respect copyright.PENANAaML2owJbOg
She coughed again. "My reward?"
The anger on Alexia's face was visible. "Reward? For what?"366Please respect copyright.PENANAZf3kVCCona
"If I hadn't told you about their plan, they would have carted you away and sold your fish scales for a few bucks."366Please respect copyright.PENANAzEfcciildE
"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!"366Please respect copyright.PENANAsjMF2oYXIL
"All the more reason why I saved your life." Alice pointed out.366Please respect copyright.PENANAVOZdFjSpmf
Alexia gritted her teeth and sighed. "Alright. What do you want? Immortality? Wealth? What is it?"366Please respect copyright.PENANAD2gNhnNoCB
Alice hummed... "I heard winter is coming and the Serge is planning some fun things for us so..."366Please respect copyright.PENANACuattKxBiK
"You want me to erase him from existence then?" asked Alexia.366Please respect copyright.PENANAUAyo1Y5f8m
"Can you give me the ability to resist the cold weather?"366Please respect copyright.PENANA1uGcAyMblq
Her request shocked Alexia. "You want me...to give you...the ability...to resist...the cold?"366Please respect copyright.PENANAT92EVMn59B
Alice nodded her head.
"And you are picking that...over immortality and wealth?"366Please respect copyright.PENANA0bDgs9bWqR
She nodded again shocking Alexia even more.366Please respect copyright.PENANAGPWgidAVNn
"Why?"366Please respect copyright.PENANAKAv24lsskE
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.366Please respect copyright.PENANAfXPaO2d15n
"Take this and you won't feel the cold ever again."366Please respect copyright.PENANAPIHlk2Iw2y
Eyes sparkling with excitement Alice took the pill, thanked her new friend and ran off to join the rest of the recruits for chow.366Please respect copyright.PENANAYYOmFSjIeI
"That girl is so stupid." Alexia muttered under her breath.366Please respect copyright.PENANAa3OnYwbPEF
