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.130Please respect copyright.PENANApf7VSjAa8e
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."130Please respect copyright.PENANAb7G5afq0GO
Alice smiled. "Yep! And it is all thanks to you!"130Please respect copyright.PENANA5xqdlGE5yi
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.130Please respect copyright.PENANA6xtFRr7lbw
"Ahh! I thought I was going to die if I stayed outside for so long!" she gasped.
Alice stared at her and coughed. 130Please respect copyright.PENANAgbgj52mnbc
"What?"130Please respect copyright.PENANAd7odcKyYnq
She coughed again. "My reward?"
The anger on Alexia's face was visible. "Reward? For what?"130Please respect copyright.PENANAuJp0ClgnWp
"If I hadn't told you about their plan, they would have carted you away and sold your fish scales for a few bucks."130Please respect copyright.PENANAjPixgSrfYg
"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!"130Please respect copyright.PENANAId8tAOWRjB
"All the more reason why I saved your life." Alice pointed out.130Please respect copyright.PENANAlValr6YoUe
Alexia gritted her teeth and sighed. "Alright. What do you want? Immortality? Wealth? What is it?"130Please respect copyright.PENANA9RIfSWIGJI
Alice hummed... "I heard winter is coming and the Serge is planning some fun things for us so..."130Please respect copyright.PENANAzCSKmUogBw
"You want me to erase him from existence then?" asked Alexia.130Please respect copyright.PENANA1DeWI2LA0f
"Can you give me the ability to resist the cold weather?"130Please respect copyright.PENANAL3QAs53Fwe
Her request shocked Alexia. "You want me...to give you...the ability...to resist...the cold?"130Please respect copyright.PENANAJaqQMluucl
Alice nodded her head.
"And you are picking that...over immortality and wealth?"130Please respect copyright.PENANAmJUXYnBPB4
She nodded again shocking Alexia even more.130Please respect copyright.PENANAS0pgW0WRwn
"Why?"130Please respect copyright.PENANAWTxuPjs1Z3
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.130Please respect copyright.PENANAkTDbGY32G1
"Take this and you won't feel the cold ever again."130Please respect copyright.PENANAOfo7EOQImj
Eyes sparkling with excitement Alice took the pill, thanked her new friend and ran off to join the rest of the recruits for chow.130Please respect copyright.PENANAIfv25gAQFJ
"That girl is so stupid." Alexia muttered under her breath.130Please respect copyright.PENANAFVb2biyvqE
