"Gosh! If it wasn't cold outside it's cold now!" one of the recruits moaned as they shivered in their blankets.246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aQZrwyz1m
"I'll s...say!" Polo replied. "Do...doesn't this place h...have a...heat...heating system?"246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDgGzRDCj4
"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."246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKMjqcgpdE
"Y...you th...think!" one said.246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLYMLz3A1n
"Felix is surprised Alice isn't shivering."
"Yeah! I am shocked as well!" Polo said.246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdUNphHKNq
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. 246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAv6maIiBC
"He...hey! I also noticed sh...she wasn't shivering when the Serge leaves us out in the cold!" One pointed out.246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbSZRap089
"Yeah!"246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFi18j2N5Q
"How did she do that?"246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZm6WKIirww
"I...I don't know!" Mark replied.246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4LuVLxEFz
One kicked out his blankets in frustration. "Bullsh!t! I say we wake her up and ask!"246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNmtRdfjfX
"No thanks! I am not ready to move an inch out of this bed." one said.246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBkuCMlERA
"Yep!"246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSkEQ0fIky
"Same here,"246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPpw1cTJVS
"Ditto,"246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuKaBNyrlA
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.246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHbztDRgFr
Cold and exhausted, they stumbled back to their sleeping quarters ready to tuck in for the night except Alice was nowhere to be found.246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdvBLExa8E
"Gah! Where is she?" Mark asked.246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9nGvYJyeE
"How should I know? I am not Alice's keeper!" Polo moaned as he climbed onto the bed.246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCqYTsW6vf
"Felix suggest we should look for her before the Serge flips his lid again," 246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTM2mHaFOpa
Unfortunately, this annoyed one of the recrutits. "Then you look for her!" he yelled.246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQvUwJeRno
Shrugging, Felix walked out of the sleeping quarters to look for Alice and found her struggling to lift three old buckets full of coal.246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwqCaoHmfp
"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!"246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneP2iP8PVU
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.246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWq4gRYHHpb
"What the..."246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2ewc5DKh0
"Did Alice tell you to carry that?" Mark asked.246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0kTWzKWxU
Felix nodded. Suddenly the door burst open and Alice walked in holding two buckets.246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9kqn94ksa
"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?"246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YAQu2yzK2
"Why? You need got some screws loose?" asked one recruit.246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzZgjkPs3g
Alice laughed. "Wow! That's so funny but no. I want to make holes in them."246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41NHOpCsAD
"What?"246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd44jWeBPCS
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.246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YQnWpg5Xj
"There! I hope everyone will be warm now," 246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcJCsfqiQD
The rest of the recruits watched as she climbed onto her bed, wished everyone a good night, yawned and went to sleep.246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSY749vURvW
"This chick is nuts!" one said.246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMj0z80qZBe
"I'll say," Polo replied.246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFur89W54NQ
But that night, they all slept like babies for no one complained about the room being too cold for comfort.
