"Gosh! If it wasn't cold outside it's cold now!" one of the recruits moaned as they shivered in their blankets.226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUnSMAOXyg
"I'll s...say!" Polo replied. "Do...doesn't this place h...have a...heat...heating system?"226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WWzZRVbwK
"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."226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7Bp6bxPAj
"Y...you th...think!" one said.226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBfo7RCkz2
"Felix is surprised Alice isn't shivering."
"Yeah! I am shocked as well!" Polo said.226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd88tzM4ZG8
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. 226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7Uszuxwks
"He...hey! I also noticed sh...she wasn't shivering when the Serge leaves us out in the cold!" One pointed out.226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUfhbkHusl
"Yeah!"226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbqnq5zQIK
"How did she do that?"226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2CzCQskrT
"I...I don't know!" Mark replied.226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFT24feUkfw
One kicked out his blankets in frustration. "Bullsh!t! I say we wake her up and ask!"226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGplxZ54cTp
"No thanks! I am not ready to move an inch out of this bed." one said.226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMso7WKHwh
"Yep!"226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RTX7JDNvA
"Same here,"226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEmYPbmBw0
"Ditto,"226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVrkSFYOdr
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.226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2692Y3knK
Cold and exhausted, they stumbled back to their sleeping quarters ready to tuck in for the night except Alice was nowhere to be found.226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrLONNu3EP
"Gah! Where is she?" Mark asked.226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cTPLmhhSg
"How should I know? I am not Alice's keeper!" Polo moaned as he climbed onto the bed.226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2pbEmBX7g
"Felix suggest we should look for her before the Serge flips his lid again," 226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYErDYQnWPh
Unfortunately, this annoyed one of the recrutits. "Then you look for her!" he yelled.226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlzLXi1sB2
Shrugging, Felix walked out of the sleeping quarters to look for Alice and found her struggling to lift three old buckets full of coal.226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECts1pqgZY
"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!"226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYjrtKKMl2
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.226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA37YdKw65i
"What the..."226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMRUkPJk15
"Did Alice tell you to carry that?" Mark asked.226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfl0Ih4yQEg
Felix nodded. Suddenly the door burst open and Alice walked in holding two buckets.226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ueXP50WXT
"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?"226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxYZ4oysco
"Why? You need got some screws loose?" asked one recruit.226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT49Ql06ntF
Alice laughed. "Wow! That's so funny but no. I want to make holes in them."226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAOt2DgSuc
"What?"226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjflnfT5v12
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.226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBGahlZ0xz
"There! I hope everyone will be warm now," 226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxee1JduY5
The rest of the recruits watched as she climbed onto her bed, wished everyone a good night, yawned and went to sleep.226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhHF04zJF3
"This chick is nuts!" one said.226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHGeN7o77O
"I'll say," Polo replied.226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC49oV9keul
But that night, they all slept like babies for no one complained about the room being too cold for comfort.
