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.266Please respect copyright.PENANAWQLV5lR7FY
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."266Please respect copyright.PENANAsDH8cdhSBb
Alice smiled. "Yep! And it is all thanks to you!"266Please respect copyright.PENANAkvPTr0TXTJ
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.266Please respect copyright.PENANAfkyOFJo3Ny
"Ahh! I thought I was going to die if I stayed outside for so long!" she gasped.
Alice stared at her and coughed. 266Please respect copyright.PENANAlnr0NnSkOd
"What?"266Please respect copyright.PENANAaIh7iCCtSm
She coughed again. "My reward?"
The anger on Alexia's face was visible. "Reward? For what?"266Please respect copyright.PENANAHZbn9HskWz
"If I hadn't told you about their plan, they would have carted you away and sold your fish scales for a few bucks."266Please respect copyright.PENANAfAResM6fp3
"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!"266Please respect copyright.PENANABGAUJ9DTLX
"All the more reason why I saved your life." Alice pointed out.266Please respect copyright.PENANA7Qaeidggnh
Alexia gritted her teeth and sighed. "Alright. What do you want? Immortality? Wealth? What is it?"266Please respect copyright.PENANABstdqiV23G
Alice hummed... "I heard winter is coming and the Serge is planning some fun things for us so..."266Please respect copyright.PENANAOwuHHCdKbT
"You want me to erase him from existence then?" asked Alexia.266Please respect copyright.PENANANBSAVeSsap
"Can you give me the ability to resist the cold weather?"266Please respect copyright.PENANAm7hmJJM7tb
Her request shocked Alexia. "You want me...to give you...the ability...to resist...the cold?"266Please respect copyright.PENANAkDaCrWBChb
Alice nodded her head.
"And you are picking that...over immortality and wealth?"266Please respect copyright.PENANAABTXmYsBvm
She nodded again shocking Alexia even more.266Please respect copyright.PENANA9BhifzWi6T
"Why?"266Please respect copyright.PENANAinjyum2rk9
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.266Please respect copyright.PENANAvTzFsiC0Tu
"Take this and you won't feel the cold ever again."266Please respect copyright.PENANAfqPn6zyRXd
Eyes sparkling with excitement Alice took the pill, thanked her new friend and ran off to join the rest of the recruits for chow.266Please respect copyright.PENANAhpNQVLcbr9
"That girl is so stupid." Alexia muttered under her breath.266Please respect copyright.PENANAJ9OijQ8ZLj
