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.383Please respect copyright.PENANAifcMOhbMEs
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."383Please respect copyright.PENANA8OMwdEmA8E
Alice smiled. "Yep! And it is all thanks to you!"383Please respect copyright.PENANAN9Ia60luNd
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.383Please respect copyright.PENANALoX3xfYOai
"Ahh! I thought I was going to die if I stayed outside for so long!" she gasped.
Alice stared at her and coughed. 383Please respect copyright.PENANAt2YrxNMMoo
"What?"383Please respect copyright.PENANAHWRrZz93hW
She coughed again. "My reward?"
The anger on Alexia's face was visible. "Reward? For what?"383Please respect copyright.PENANAi5NYY4mNQN
"If I hadn't told you about their plan, they would have carted you away and sold your fish scales for a few bucks."383Please respect copyright.PENANAi4o7JcKcAW
"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!"383Please respect copyright.PENANAS1YQDMD1KD
"All the more reason why I saved your life." Alice pointed out.383Please respect copyright.PENANAxmaFLWc8yS
Alexia gritted her teeth and sighed. "Alright. What do you want? Immortality? Wealth? What is it?"383Please respect copyright.PENANAnQJCBOejcM
Alice hummed... "I heard winter is coming and the Serge is planning some fun things for us so..."383Please respect copyright.PENANAlw96q2RoLb
"You want me to erase him from existence then?" asked Alexia.383Please respect copyright.PENANAPi0pEMzaSj
"Can you give me the ability to resist the cold weather?"383Please respect copyright.PENANA4wbRzUo6jg
Her request shocked Alexia. "You want me...to give you...the ability...to resist...the cold?"383Please respect copyright.PENANAL6cQsgH5RD
Alice nodded her head.
"And you are picking that...over immortality and wealth?"383Please respect copyright.PENANA1uxWmMsFyL
She nodded again shocking Alexia even more.383Please respect copyright.PENANAyvS8WPj3m8
"Why?"383Please respect copyright.PENANAijoNLshG1I
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.383Please respect copyright.PENANAmnnpgoezHu
"Take this and you won't feel the cold ever again."383Please respect copyright.PENANAZ9ez4jmI7M
Eyes sparkling with excitement Alice took the pill, thanked her new friend and ran off to join the rest of the recruits for chow.383Please respect copyright.PENANAa5rXswy1RY
"That girl is so stupid." Alexia muttered under her breath.383Please respect copyright.PENANAAIrFLoIXpZ
