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.139Please respect copyright.PENANAtBQJ9nAyOp
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."139Please respect copyright.PENANAyQ7nSxcDZl
Alice smiled. "Yep! And it is all thanks to you!"139Please respect copyright.PENANAqcty9RNuei
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.139Please respect copyright.PENANAN5UVKbzPKd
"Ahh! I thought I was going to die if I stayed outside for so long!" she gasped.
Alice stared at her and coughed. 139Please respect copyright.PENANAYfPBNWVIev
"What?"139Please respect copyright.PENANAjHItzLkQ67
She coughed again. "My reward?"
The anger on Alexia's face was visible. "Reward? For what?"139Please respect copyright.PENANAaF8iVnAb1a
"If I hadn't told you about their plan, they would have carted you away and sold your fish scales for a few bucks."139Please respect copyright.PENANAgeCm0iU08x
"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!"139Please respect copyright.PENANAkyBRlLAD4d
"All the more reason why I saved your life." Alice pointed out.139Please respect copyright.PENANA7N9fUcfksj
Alexia gritted her teeth and sighed. "Alright. What do you want? Immortality? Wealth? What is it?"139Please respect copyright.PENANAzsS075ORZU
Alice hummed... "I heard winter is coming and the Serge is planning some fun things for us so..."139Please respect copyright.PENANAVYxQqFlMJ6
"You want me to erase him from existence then?" asked Alexia.139Please respect copyright.PENANA06h5mipy2B
"Can you give me the ability to resist the cold weather?"139Please respect copyright.PENANA8xfosI3g0m
Her request shocked Alexia. "You want me...to give you...the ability...to resist...the cold?"139Please respect copyright.PENANAqvuQcrW4aY
Alice nodded her head.
"And you are picking that...over immortality and wealth?"139Please respect copyright.PENANAADYFcJ9A9X
She nodded again shocking Alexia even more.139Please respect copyright.PENANAnm4Ei6PAaz
"Why?"139Please respect copyright.PENANACO1aAr6EYY
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.139Please respect copyright.PENANAFWFxsfE0JV
"Take this and you won't feel the cold ever again."139Please respect copyright.PENANAO9LIphJzcl
Eyes sparkling with excitement Alice took the pill, thanked her new friend and ran off to join the rest of the recruits for chow.139Please respect copyright.PENANAGUtMDsmOVh
"That girl is so stupid." Alexia muttered under her breath.139Please respect copyright.PENANAl5LWMujJVe
