"Gosh! If it wasn't cold outside it's cold now!" one of the recruits moaned as they shivered in their blankets.241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYP920xsw7
"I'll s...say!" Polo replied. "Do...doesn't this place h...have a...heat...heating system?"241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacJdk1J6Ai
"Felix says no because Felix's friends are in the military." Felix said shaking underneath his blankets.
Mark sneezed. "You know, I heard the seniors say something about winter being the Serge's favorite time of year. Now I see why."241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLyu6et4mq
"Y...you th...think!" one said.241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3y6gWZBhG
"Felix is surprised Alice isn't shivering."
"Yeah! I am shocked as well!" Polo said.241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3Tu8folDz
True to the recruits word Alice was spawled out on her bed snoozing like a baby. Most of the recruits were shocked while some started wondering how she was able to sleep like this under in the cold weather. 241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0jmLASmKZ
"He...hey! I also noticed sh...she wasn't shivering when the Serge leaves us out in the cold!" One pointed out.241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQvP0SCUJ7
"Yeah!"241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPropyXV3T7
"How did she do that?"241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC44mrmPnyk
"I...I don't know!" Mark replied.241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXKC8kg6Pm
One kicked out his blankets in frustration. "Bullsh!t! I say we wake her up and ask!"241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmyJUZAraa
"No thanks! I am not ready to move an inch out of this bed." one said.241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4jjl36cS8
"Yep!"241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCACe4pnKhQ
"Same here,"241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyMsodHehC
"Ditto,"241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYypxPcLjOO
Unfortunately for them, the Serge who had been standing near the window listening to their complaints and decided to warm them up by calling them out and instructing them to jog underneath the freezing night. All but Alice muttered curses underneath their breath and the day got worse later in the cold morning when they were instructed to shovel snow off the driveway of the Colonel's house.241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurskRtUyc6
Cold and exhausted, they stumbled back to their sleeping quarters ready to tuck in for the night except Alice was nowhere to be found.241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMKwxIiFXZ
"Gah! Where is she?" Mark asked.241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2liaRogmw
"How should I know? I am not Alice's keeper!" Polo moaned as he climbed onto the bed.241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2BAqjuxrR
"Felix suggest we should look for her before the Serge flips his lid again," 241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuIc40D8X3
Unfortunately, this annoyed one of the recrutits. "Then you look for her!" he yelled.241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yqbAsyUKe
Shrugging, Felix walked out of the sleeping quarters to look for Alice and found her struggling to lift three old buckets full of coal.241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyE7wEEfODl
"Oh! Thank goodness you are here," as she dropped them, the buckets sizzled underneath the snow. "Quickly take them back to the sleeping quarters! I will carry the rest!"241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCTiSUjLlQ
Thus, handing Felix the stick she used to carry the buckets she rushed away leaving him confused. Shrugging, Felix did as he was told and the rest of the recruits were shocked to see him.241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWOweFzlug
"What the..."241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqt6gdaO4V
"Did Alice tell you to carry that?" Mark asked.241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTBghVjdNr
Felix nodded. Suddenly the door burst open and Alice walked in holding two buckets.241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHOfu1zvp7
"Phew! The Senior officer on duty nearly caught me!" she dropped the buckets full of hot coals with a huge thud. "Anyone got a screwdriver?"241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oULOXJ0tS
"Why? You need got some screws loose?" asked one recruit.241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LvONAWr88
Alice laughed. "Wow! That's so funny but no. I want to make holes in them."241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3OGXhn2Va
"What?"241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxc1dwP3aF
None the less, someone handed Alice a screwdriver which she used puncture the buckets. Using an old newspaper, she fanned the coals until they were red hot and place the buckets by the corners of the room.241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglwTDuh4Gf
"There! I hope everyone will be warm now," 241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRrhhYJ1Tw
The rest of the recruits watched as she climbed onto her bed, wished everyone a good night, yawned and went to sleep.241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsHKB4zRDS
"This chick is nuts!" one said.241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFU0xD6RJJ7
"I'll say," Polo replied.241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdAd2mOo23
But that night, they all slept like babies for no one complained about the room being too cold for comfort.
