"Gosh! If it wasn't cold outside it's cold now!" one of the recruits moaned as they shivered in their blankets.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQ3Hznlphy
"I'll s...say!" Polo replied. "Do...doesn't this place h...have a...heat...heating system?"307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kUFDj71QT
"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."307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44AESiECZ9
"Y...you th...think!" one said.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4A7ORNSD7
"Felix is surprised Alice isn't shivering."
"Yeah! I am shocked as well!" Polo said.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PDQYaz02t
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. 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6tDMAlsQd
"He...hey! I also noticed sh...she wasn't shivering when the Serge leaves us out in the cold!" One pointed out.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyucbWFP7e
"Yeah!"307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZCT2Q2cfa
"How did she do that?"307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOirKQewWfV
"I...I don't know!" Mark replied.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSp2LGy7WPx
One kicked out his blankets in frustration. "Bullsh!t! I say we wake her up and ask!"307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8HubS270y
"No thanks! I am not ready to move an inch out of this bed." one said.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWb1D8MC17w
"Yep!"307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmSOUCNkZc
"Same here,"307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTz8iRBRhrP
"Ditto,"307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmM96xDyjj9
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.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmf107d1n3
Cold and exhausted, they stumbled back to their sleeping quarters ready to tuck in for the night except Alice was nowhere to be found.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH86DDqXbF1
"Gah! Where is she?" Mark asked.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafoE8HvAYR
"How should I know? I am not Alice's keeper!" Polo moaned as he climbed onto the bed.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZKdXpcld6
"Felix suggest we should look for her before the Serge flips his lid again," 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Co7kFle8P
Unfortunately, this annoyed one of the recrutits. "Then you look for her!" he yelled.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASm13CDdw9
Shrugging, Felix walked out of the sleeping quarters to look for Alice and found her struggling to lift three old buckets full of coal.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiqqqYLM6Z
"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!"307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkhC2M551n
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.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CfTJzVl9H
"What the..."307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5G90AZVym5
"Did Alice tell you to carry that?" Mark asked.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2CUwGTTe1
Felix nodded. Suddenly the door burst open and Alice walked in holding two buckets.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtLhHdP8ZC
"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?"307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oePKww46z
"Why? You need got some screws loose?" asked one recruit.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoX3cQFWqh
Alice laughed. "Wow! That's so funny but no. I want to make holes in them."307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZytmfOMxW
"What?"307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNfPRUeTWC
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.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBauEnFQos
"There! I hope everyone will be warm now," 307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyi6FTtjRx
The rest of the recruits watched as she climbed onto her bed, wished everyone a good night, yawned and went to sleep.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWpqGbRKLA
"This chick is nuts!" one said.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf16OzK5Fxg
"I'll say," Polo replied.307Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8Gty9a314
But that night, they all slept like babies for no one complained about the room being too cold for comfort.
