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.296Please respect copyright.PENANAxNydj8zIos
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."296Please respect copyright.PENANAo0c6T2Vcy5
Alice smiled. "Yep! And it is all thanks to you!"296Please respect copyright.PENANADIf0mAFUO9
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.296Please respect copyright.PENANAH7cZ9J74iO
"Ahh! I thought I was going to die if I stayed outside for so long!" she gasped.
Alice stared at her and coughed. 296Please respect copyright.PENANAR5XdLrn9ud
"What?"296Please respect copyright.PENANAPRJVd3RBnK
She coughed again. "My reward?"
The anger on Alexia's face was visible. "Reward? For what?"296Please respect copyright.PENANAW91e4mfrrV
"If I hadn't told you about their plan, they would have carted you away and sold your fish scales for a few bucks."296Please respect copyright.PENANAGAj6Ms9f47
"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!"296Please respect copyright.PENANAvYFuNmAnvj
"All the more reason why I saved your life." Alice pointed out.296Please respect copyright.PENANAd2eKGOPkc5
Alexia gritted her teeth and sighed. "Alright. What do you want? Immortality? Wealth? What is it?"296Please respect copyright.PENANAL1duq3He1P
Alice hummed... "I heard winter is coming and the Serge is planning some fun things for us so..."296Please respect copyright.PENANA6ocaQv7NJH
"You want me to erase him from existence then?" asked Alexia.296Please respect copyright.PENANANWePVHUdAY
"Can you give me the ability to resist the cold weather?"296Please respect copyright.PENANAvvjB9SEgz1
Her request shocked Alexia. "You want me...to give you...the ability...to resist...the cold?"296Please respect copyright.PENANAhTXvpPybYf
Alice nodded her head.
"And you are picking that...over immortality and wealth?"296Please respect copyright.PENANAlIpm9tUfDv
She nodded again shocking Alexia even more.296Please respect copyright.PENANAGYt7vFiEbq
"Why?"296Please respect copyright.PENANA89zfzc5f5w
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.296Please respect copyright.PENANAm4tyrqMjcv
"Take this and you won't feel the cold ever again."296Please respect copyright.PENANA2vfXS46GvS
Eyes sparkling with excitement Alice took the pill, thanked her new friend and ran off to join the rest of the recruits for chow.296Please respect copyright.PENANAo8aJ4VgOPQ
"That girl is so stupid." Alexia muttered under her breath.296Please respect copyright.PENANArrmDGD9NXk
