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.241Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2FBLWRWE1
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."241Please respect copyright.PENANAzYIkvpoug9
Alice smiled. "Yep! And it is all thanks to you!"241Please respect copyright.PENANAL7kJxjc6ct
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.241Please respect copyright.PENANA2DKOqcbez5
"Ahh! I thought I was going to die if I stayed outside for so long!" she gasped.
Alice stared at her and coughed. 241Please respect copyright.PENANASvFYrPGHL2
"What?"241Please respect copyright.PENANALm3zwPFuqU
She coughed again. "My reward?"
The anger on Alexia's face was visible. "Reward? For what?"241Please respect copyright.PENANAghT48QLzQ6
"If I hadn't told you about their plan, they would have carted you away and sold your fish scales for a few bucks."241Please respect copyright.PENANAOhiaMWTKqY
"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!"241Please respect copyright.PENANA5iX0zlae7z
"All the more reason why I saved your life." Alice pointed out.241Please respect copyright.PENANAHNMce4nM9j
Alexia gritted her teeth and sighed. "Alright. What do you want? Immortality? Wealth? What is it?"241Please respect copyright.PENANAzhtrtO5JZj
Alice hummed... "I heard winter is coming and the Serge is planning some fun things for us so..."241Please respect copyright.PENANArLjJYiPdeh
"You want me to erase him from existence then?" asked Alexia.241Please respect copyright.PENANA4EDiiFd8ki
"Can you give me the ability to resist the cold weather?"241Please respect copyright.PENANAbQHLAxRpri
Her request shocked Alexia. "You want me...to give you...the ability...to resist...the cold?"241Please respect copyright.PENANAfrg1uwahkB
Alice nodded her head.
"And you are picking that...over immortality and wealth?"241Please respect copyright.PENANAd0nAm1vBeY
She nodded again shocking Alexia even more.241Please respect copyright.PENANAhF4u75pYaz
"Why?"241Please respect copyright.PENANAteo9hOb98O
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.241Please respect copyright.PENANAlQ3tNnwEZc
"Take this and you won't feel the cold ever again."241Please respect copyright.PENANAofjbGCI59P
Eyes sparkling with excitement Alice took the pill, thanked her new friend and ran off to join the rest of the recruits for chow.241Please respect copyright.PENANAiVslEibMoZ
"That girl is so stupid." Alexia muttered under her breath.241Please respect copyright.PENANAjrkPWUOGWs
