"Gosh! If it wasn't cold outside it's cold now!" one of the recruits moaned as they shivered in their blankets.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2s2nwUsxYX
"I'll s...say!" Polo replied. "Do...doesn't this place h...have a...heat...heating system?"265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV00N4QIyyo
"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."265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhPYxecsud
"Y...you th...think!" one said.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiQs7toKM8
"Felix is surprised Alice isn't shivering."
"Yeah! I am shocked as well!" Polo said.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWd7Qfk7LLX
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. 265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKKQYqf7ub
"He...hey! I also noticed sh...she wasn't shivering when the Serge leaves us out in the cold!" One pointed out.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcRenARXCT
"Yeah!"265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mAN80nywP
"How did she do that?"265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrlpQtx7Ya
"I...I don't know!" Mark replied.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1XECwqrbW
One kicked out his blankets in frustration. "Bullsh!t! I say we wake her up and ask!"265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIXap2WCJm
"No thanks! I am not ready to move an inch out of this bed." one said.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgukUEZIwNr
"Yep!"265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9aKBY6HR0
"Same here,"265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLUhRkds31
"Ditto,"265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQGmI9JzfW
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.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgXLzQprzk
Cold and exhausted, they stumbled back to their sleeping quarters ready to tuck in for the night except Alice was nowhere to be found.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadgKNZod8q
"Gah! Where is she?" Mark asked.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFeLi8GnFO
"How should I know? I am not Alice's keeper!" Polo moaned as he climbed onto the bed.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRk8Z1EuvdA
"Felix suggest we should look for her before the Serge flips his lid again," 265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFfBpEOr5C
Unfortunately, this annoyed one of the recrutits. "Then you look for her!" he yelled.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWRFKrVE7m
Shrugging, Felix walked out of the sleeping quarters to look for Alice and found her struggling to lift three old buckets full of coal.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2gIbUTTuX
"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!"265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6McQ1uTcx5
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.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sPKZCFKVm
"What the..."265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bONcdZ7dL
"Did Alice tell you to carry that?" Mark asked.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhhzOLKy59
Felix nodded. Suddenly the door burst open and Alice walked in holding two buckets.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyo1DkBkdDz
"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?"265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjR0a61tbsC
"Why? You need got some screws loose?" asked one recruit.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOxc5roi3R
Alice laughed. "Wow! That's so funny but no. I want to make holes in them."265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDIGFw5xiO
"What?"265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJecrLwKKm
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.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdwHPUhzUy
"There! I hope everyone will be warm now," 265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPMlSYKkkv
The rest of the recruits watched as she climbed onto her bed, wished everyone a good night, yawned and went to sleep.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRdhSHqtwV
"This chick is nuts!" one said.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiHbh5zCab
"I'll say," Polo replied.265Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpcA98vFnV
But that night, they all slept like babies for no one complained about the room being too cold for comfort.
