"Gosh! If it wasn't cold outside it's cold now!" one of the recruits moaned as they shivered in their blankets.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauMMbjVedA
"I'll s...say!" Polo replied. "Do...doesn't this place h...have a...heat...heating system?"273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbO6xZjpEKs
"Felix says no because Felix's friends are in the military." Felix said shaking underneath his blankets.
Mark sneezed. "You know, I heard the seniors say something about winter being the Serge's favorite time of year. Now I see why."273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mAXjSH06X
"Y...you th...think!" one said.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8RfC9G5Dl
"Felix is surprised Alice isn't shivering."
"Yeah! I am shocked as well!" Polo said.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoR9ea36JtC
True to the recruits word Alice was spawled out on her bed snoozing like a baby. Most of the recruits were shocked while some started wondering how she was able to sleep like this under in the cold weather. 273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgOJZZAHt9
"He...hey! I also noticed sh...she wasn't shivering when the Serge leaves us out in the cold!" One pointed out.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxd7jpFjyO
"Yeah!"273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVQVV91p1D
"How did she do that?"273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvwxdreSaA
"I...I don't know!" Mark replied.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI40JTiL4WY
One kicked out his blankets in frustration. "Bullsh!t! I say we wake her up and ask!"273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNCDpdllWz
"No thanks! I am not ready to move an inch out of this bed." one said.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSr7tGfLli
"Yep!"273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vBEjngXXM
"Same here,"273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ryo4r1jBr
"Ditto,"273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfp3GCDDiM
Unfortunately for them, the Serge who had been standing near the window listening to their complaints and decided to warm them up by calling them out and instructing them to jog underneath the freezing night. All but Alice muttered curses underneath their breath and the day got worse later in the cold morning when they were instructed to shovel snow off the driveway of the Colonel's house.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJhPtnS2e7
Cold and exhausted, they stumbled back to their sleeping quarters ready to tuck in for the night except Alice was nowhere to be found.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HMPXZTfXv
"Gah! Where is she?" Mark asked.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4pzT5obU8
"How should I know? I am not Alice's keeper!" Polo moaned as he climbed onto the bed.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxSdt4JkTc
"Felix suggest we should look for her before the Serge flips his lid again," 273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6ub4PQRoN
Unfortunately, this annoyed one of the recrutits. "Then you look for her!" he yelled.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uBLpYR3zW
Shrugging, Felix walked out of the sleeping quarters to look for Alice and found her struggling to lift three old buckets full of coal.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkbIzC703N
"Oh! Thank goodness you are here," as she dropped them, the buckets sizzled underneath the snow. "Quickly take them back to the sleeping quarters! I will carry the rest!"273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlxnmIpRrO
Thus, handing Felix the stick she used to carry the buckets she rushed away leaving him confused. Shrugging, Felix did as he was told and the rest of the recruits were shocked to see him.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrTHFU8StE
"What the..."273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyLYdRWFRu
"Did Alice tell you to carry that?" Mark asked.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNp3oTcOkk
Felix nodded. Suddenly the door burst open and Alice walked in holding two buckets.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fPXmF6v9R
"Phew! The Senior officer on duty nearly caught me!" she dropped the buckets full of hot coals with a huge thud. "Anyone got a screwdriver?"273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmyPfPdvl8
"Why? You need got some screws loose?" asked one recruit.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgw8rF72wM
Alice laughed. "Wow! That's so funny but no. I want to make holes in them."273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJpj2LQTRS
"What?"273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12pSYv0zlC
None the less, someone handed Alice a screwdriver which she used puncture the buckets. Using an old newspaper, she fanned the coals until they were red hot and place the buckets by the corners of the room.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nVDmZdmgA
"There! I hope everyone will be warm now," 273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZH5wdCB5R
The rest of the recruits watched as she climbed onto her bed, wished everyone a good night, yawned and went to sleep.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrOycZ50vi
"This chick is nuts!" one said.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCmy5NrZgR
"I'll say," Polo replied.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNs0ukUZVq
But that night, they all slept like babies for no one complained about the room being too cold for comfort.
