Chapter 1328

I Won't Go There

Allison and Vanna were a little apprehensive about going through the metal detector when they boarded the ship. They both carried weapons. Cameron told them not to worry about it so they didn't worry as much. She walked through in front of them without a problem. She was Metal and packing heat. That was good enough for them. That made them feel a lot better. They went through without a peep.

Jim and Sheila said they needed to get into their 'uniforms'. Allison and Vanna pictured they would look like Bob. He looked impressive and immaculate in his white uniform.

Holly thought the girls might like a bite to eat before they went to their suite. She was concerned for Allison. It was suggested that Gail accompany them instead of Cam. Gail looked forward to being Vanna's escort. Vanna was 'Savannah Weaver' after all. John and Cameron would go with them.

Cameron decided to let John do the talking. There was no reason he could not get a little closer to Allison and Vanna on this trip. Now was as good as time as any to start. They could protect him against the anti-Metal faction as well as anyone. They were all her friends. She would not be as bothered as she once would have been with their 'coupling'. If she was the one who made it happen she would not be troubled by it anymore. If she was the one in control, that made her the 'decider'. The power was hers. Human females around or clinging to John would protect him. Her presence with John endangered him with the anti-Metal faction.

It bothered Cameron that Vanna wanted to be with John before but never was. She really wanted Vanna to share the experience of being with John. She wanted Vanna to see what a loving touch was like from a male to a female. She wanted Vanna to see it could be better and the fear of a shared touch not need exist. Now that John was with her in Hanna's chassis, John knew exactly what to expect from Vanna and by extension, Savannah. She noticed how John concentrated his attention in certain areas on Hanna's sheath. She thought those area were beautiful too and not just for the color.

"John and you two are the only ones who need to eat." Cameron said. "I will let him show you some of the food choices."

Allison smiled.

"I'm hungry." Allison said. "That was quite a plane ride in."

Cameron tilted her head slightly.

"Did the flight make you hungry?" Cameron asked.

The vibrations of the plane made Allison hungry for something else. She was pretty sure if she could have repositioned herself against something metal in the planes airframe it might have given her a 'finish'. She skipped any comment on that. She didn't want to sound perverse. For some reason that reminded her of some videos that Vanna showed her on the internet of girls and their bedposts. It was quite eye opening.

Vanna thought Allison did not eat enough in the morning.

"I think it is just because it is around our lunchtime." Vanna said. "We don't usually eat much. We like our schoolgirl figures."

Allison laughed.

"I think mine is a little past that." Allison said.

Vanna smiled as she touched Allison's belly.

"In that case, you need to eat for two." Vanna said.

John thought it was time to open their eyes a little.

"Follow me ladies." John said. "I'll show you the way."

Allison and Vanna looked at each other.

"Ladies?" Allison asked as she looked around.

Vanna shrugged her shoulders. After what she'd been through in the future, she could never feel like a 'lady'.

"I think he meant us, even if we're not." Vanna said.

Allison did not think she qualified.

"I am unmarried and pregnant." Allison said. "I think I am disqualified to be considered a 'lady'."

Cameron urged John to go to Allison.

John dropped back and took her arm.

"You're not disqualified in my book." John said.

Cameron did not want Vanna to be left out. She took Vanna's arm.

"They are not disqualified to anyone." Cameron said. "You are both ladies to me, to us."

Gail and Holly looked at each other.

"What about us?" Gail asked Holly.

Holly shrugged her shoulders. It was something she learned to do from Allison and Vanna.

"I don't know." Holly said. "We aren't virgins anymore. At least our chassis aren't. I think a 'lady' needs a proper upbringing and high morals."

The Metal girls were aware that they possessed neither.

Gail did not regret it at all.

"I guess we are still machines then." Gail said.

They were both content with that concept.

Cam was not thrilled to have to leave Vanna but she understood the circumstances. She followed Hanna, Jim and Sheila to the private area.

Jim and Sheila left for their rooms to put on their uniforms. Hanna took Cam into the Control Center.

Cam looked at Ally plugged into the computers in there. That only underscored her redundancy. She was there for Vanna. She did not know what Cameron planned for her.

The Metal girls all acknowledged each other.

"I guess this is where I will hang out at." Cam said.

Ally looked at her.

"Jim is here most of the time." Ally said. "There are plenty of vacant suites now."

Hanna wanted to show Cam around the ship.

"I can go with Cam." Hanna said. "We can take a look around the ship. Jim or you just need to direct us away from the others. It's a big ship."

Cam heard a noise by the entry door. She looked back and there was a maid cleaning in the corner facing away from them.

She was going to ask about strangers being in the rooms when the maid bent down. In a second she saw 'everything'. Sheila looked back around her side and smiled at them.

"I'm keeping this outfit for when I go out with Ally. I think people will notice me." Sheila said. "Maybe I will just wear it around the base."

Cam thought it looked totally Hot. She figured they would notice Sheila alright and it would not be her face either. She wanted to wear it for Vanna.

"We can take turns wearing it." Cam said. "You look cute and Hot wearing it."

Sheila smiled. There were always other things they could do that would be beneficial to all of them.

"We can take turns doing a lot of things with each other." Sheila said.

Jim entered the Control Center a few seconds later. He looked sharp in his steward's uniform.

Sheila eyed Jim.

"Well, at least some of us can do lots of things with each other." Sheila said.

Jim did not comment. He was 'up' for some things. He was not so sure about other things if Cameron wanted the use of his chassis. He would try and avoid that. Now that Cam was onboard Cameron should be after Ally and her first. Maybe he could 'jump ship' in Frisco. He was aware that someone from the crew always did that there.

Savannah and Young Allison went to Savannah's room once they were at the Resistance base.

They caught up on a few things.

The air was thick between them.

Savannah wanted to redirect the mood.

"I should make you some lunch." Savannah said.

Young Allison liked the thought but she wanted Savannah to take it easy.

"We could go out instead." Young Allison said. "Maybe we could do something else…."

Savannah did not want Young Allison to get ahead of herself.

"We can go out." Savannah said. "Pick a place. We can get some food and do something else."

Young Allison had 'something else' in mind.

Savannah did not want to send the wrong message.

Young Allison decided to take a step back. There were some fun things they could do.

"Cameron took me to an electric go cart track before in Burbank." Young Allison said. "We could grab a bite to eat and then do that."

Cameron took Savannah there before too.

"That place is fun. We can go there." Savannah said. "There is this good 'old style' restaurant near there too called Tallyrand."

Cameron previously took Young Allison there with Allison, Summer and her mother.

"That place is great." Young Allison said. "I love the open face turkey sandwich."

Savannah smiled.

"I do too." Savannah said. "Let's get the Metal girls and go."

Young Allison wanted to see Precious before they left. She was sure they would not come back to the base.

"I'd like to see Precious real quick." Young Allison said. "I need to say bye to my mom and Summer too."

Savannah thought that was a good idea.

"We can do that." Savannah said.

Young Allison wanted to give Savannah a hug but she decided not to. She was unaware that Savannah made love with CamNet earlier. She could only suspect what went on when Savannah visited CamNet or Cameron's base. She was not sure Savannah would tell her if she asked. She knew it was not proper to ask. Cameron specifically told her that in the future their lives would be convoluted and there would need to be a lot of give and take involved. People would need private moments with each other at times even if they already had a lover. Life was fluid and things could happen fast.

Savannah held the door for Young Allison. They exited into the hallway and headed for Riley's room. Young Allison went in the direction where she could pass by Jesse's room on the way there. The door was closed so Jesse was most likely not in her room with anyone. The door was never shut tight if she was. The 'invitation' was always there to anyone who passed by. Jesse always had room for one more.

The detour by Jesse's room was not lost on Savannah. She'd spent many a night peeking in there when Jesse was with Allison or Vanna before. She saw her with the Metal girls too later on. That was why she tried to have her first experience with Jesse. She didn't know that Jesse was afraid that Vanna or Cameron would kill her if they shared. When it did happen, it was actually Young Jesse. It was the first experience for both of them. It was beautiful. Later on when she missed Young Jesse she asked Jesse again and things happened. It was quite an eye opener for her. Jesse made her feel things she did not know she could feel.

When they reached Riley's room Savannah knocked softly. Samantha immediately opened the door.

Young Allison took one look at Samantha and paused. She looked a little different from the last time she saw her. She could see the resemblance to her mother. She did not say anything.

Samantha invited them in.

"Jesse is nursing Precious now." Samantha said.

Savannah wanted to make it quick.

"Allison just wanted to say 'Hello' to Precious before we left." Savannah said. "She may not return here."

Riley peeked out of her room. She appeared topless. Derek and Riley must be busy. She waved at them. The door opened enough so that they could clearly see her right breast. They waved back.

Samantha led them to the nursery where Jesse was at. Jesse opened her top more as they entered. They could see both of her breasts clearly. Precious nursed on one.

Jesse visibly brightened and smiled when she spotted Savannah and Young Allison.

Savannah noticed Jesse check Young Allison out. She did not say anything. Jesse knew what was 'forbidden'. Still, it never hurt to look.

Young Allison felt Jesse 'undress' her when she looked at her. It did not bother her. She'd just seen that plump breast on Riley and both of Jesse's breasts right now. Her future was already written for her. She only needed to look as far as Allison to see it. Allison was her and she planned to be 'Allison'.

They all greeted each other.

Samantha returned to Riley's room.

Savannah saw Samantha check out Young Allison too before she left.

This only seemed to confirm Savannah's fears that Young Allison could not be in the past without her. She would be too enticing to everyone as she matured a little more. It was clear Young Allison was going to be the best 'Allison' of them all, for everything.

Jesse concentrated on Young Allison.

"Precious is ready for a break." Jesse said. "Would you like to hold her?"

Young Allison looked at Savannah.

Savannah nodded.

Young Allison reached down and carefully took Precious from Jesse.

Jesse made no effort to cover herself. Both of her breasts were openly exposed.

Savannah looked and thought about closing her top but figured that would make everything even more awkward. It made Savannah think about Young Jesse. She hadn't seen her in awhile. Cameron told her Young Jesse was ready to have a baby for Jesse. She asked for a traditional conception. Since Young Jesse was still a virgin, Cameron told her she agreed to one night with John if Young Jesse could get pregnant. Savannah was surprised to hear Cameron agreed to that. What was more surprising was there was no glitch in Cameron's hand and Cameron actually looked 'happy'. Cameron commented that 'breeding love' is not 'stealing love'. She always thought she would be with John first. If she was not careful, Young Allison would be before she was.

Savannah needed to refocus.

It looked like Young Allison was perfectly content dealing with Precious. That would only lead to more problems.

"We shouldn't stay too long." Savannah said. "Let's find Summer and your mom."

Young Allison looked at Jesse when Savannah said that. She saw Jesse smile at the mention of her mother. She was not blind. Maybe Savannah and her mother were 'top dogs' now. She would see about that when she returned from the past. She already knew 'everything' even if she'd never actually done it.

Young Allison smiled at Jesse and handed Precious back.

"Thank YOU." Young Allison said.

Jesse smiled back, she was still completely exposed.

"Thanks for letting me hold Precious too." Young Allison said.

Savannah and Jesse quickly looked at each other. It was clear what the 'first' thanks was for.

Savannah ushered Young Allison out.

Young Allison managed to get a wink in at Jesse before the door closed.

John led Allison by the arm to the pool deck.

There were a few scantily clad females in the pool or lounging around it. Allison and Vanna took it all in.

Cameron noticed too and was about to mention that not all the people around the pool looked like that. It reminded her that there were not a lot of older people in the future. Maybe it was OK that there were a lot now.

John showed them the grill and pizzeria. They passed the ice cream station on the way to the buffet.

"I'm already starving." Allison said. "All those food places looked good."

Cameron started to reach for Allison's neck when she said she was starving. Vanna gently stopped her hand. She looked at Vanna and nodded.

"When we are at sea, there will be many more people up here." Cameron said. "There is a more private area."

John was not exactly sure how 'private' nude sunbathing was.

Cameron gave them a brief run down of the nude sunbathing area.

Allison was a little shocked at that.

"Do you mean everyone is naked?" Allison asked.

Cameron did not see it as a big deal. Everyone had a body. It really was no big deal. The only difference was in the details.

"Yes." Cameron said. "Bottoms are optional."

Vanna was a little worried if it was not for females only.

"Are there men there?" Vanna asked.

"Yes." Cameron said.

Cameron could feel Vanna stiffen some.

"I'm out." Vanna said. "I won't go there with men present."

Cameron understood why. Too many things happened to Vanna by men. Maybe she could initiate a new policy for the ship. She would have CamNet issue a new directive from 'headquarters'.

"If it was females only would you try it?" Cameron asked. "Not all of them will be hot and young. I think most of them would be."

Vanna knew she wanted that.

"I really don't know." Vanna said.

Allison was not sure she would either. Maybe if there were some smoking hot chicks she would. She knew Vanna 'forgot' about her scar right now. She would not let Vanna expose it if she tried to. Maybe it would be something beneficial to her if she did. She always said it was part of her.

She'd tried several times as did Cameron to get Vanna to have it 'taken care of'. Maybe she should have Savannah, Young Allison and even her mother 'lean' on Vanna about it.

John wanted to get the girls in the buffet and change the discussion. They were almost there.

"Here we are." John said.

Vanna and Allison took in the array of different food. Their eyes widened some. They'd been to buffets before but they did not have a selection of 'international' foods like this. This was a long way from the garbage piles of the future.

"Wow! Where do we start?" Allison asked. "I'm eating for two."

Cameron did not want them to spoil their dinner.

"Don't overdo it now." Cameron said. "We have 'fine dining' for dinner in the main dining room."

Holly knew there were a lot of things Allison and Vanna could see around the ship.

"After lunch I need to show Allison around the ship." Holly said. "There is a lot she needs to see."

John knew that was true.

"Why don't the three of us all pick different things and then we can share." John said. "Just don't overdo it we can always come back for more and the food stays warmer that way."

Cameron liked that idea.

"There are many things to share." Cameron said.

Gail thought she would give them a 'heads up' on Cameron's ship policy.

"What happens on the ship, stays on the ship." Gail said.

Vanna and Allison looked at each other.

John wanted to keep it simple.

"Let's get our food." John said.

Cameron almost said they could 'eat' later. She checked herself.

"I will help carry the food." Cameron said. "Holly and Gail will get us a nice window seat."

With many of the passengers on Catalina Island right now, nothing on the ship was too crowded. Finding a good table was easy.

As soon as they filled two plates, Cameron took them to the table. She ordered four 'Arnold Palmer' drinks. The Metal girls and her would all try a sip of one of them. It would then become an extra one for John, Allison or Vanna.

While they waited for the drinks, Cameron pushed the two plates in front of Holly and Gail.

"Here is your food." Cameron said. "Clean your plates too."

Holly and Gail looked at each other.

"You want us to eat all that?" Holly asked.

Gail usually never tried anything.

"Can't we have dessert instead?" Gail asked.

Cameron smiled and took the two plates back. She'd tried to be 'funny'.

"There is always room for dessert." Cameron said. "It just slides down."

John, Vanna and Allison arrived at the table a short time later with three more plates. They had four plates of food now and one full of desserts.

"That's a lot of food." Allison said.

Vanna and Allison both remembered having no food or they needed to eat garbage. It made them feel a little guilty.

John could see the apprehension they felt about all the food.

"We have a ship's rule about food." John said. "You are allowed to try something and not finish it. Look around you. You can see the excess that is wasted. The purpose is to try new and different things. The opportunity does not often knock. A ton of food is wasted everyday on this ship."

Holly wanted to reassure the girls it was alright.

"What happens on the ship, stays on the ship." Holly said.

John wanted to remind them.

"You're on vacation for a few days." John said. "There are no rules."

Cameron winked at Vanna and Allison.

"What happens on the ship, stays on the ship." Cameron said.

Allison began to understand the wild things going on better now. She was not pleased with Cameron taking Holly's virginity but Holly seemed pleased with what happened and would do it again the same way. All the Metal girls said they would.

Vanna wondered what events would unfold. She wanted to ask Gail if she would switch chips with Cam for the rest of the cruise. That way it would be easier for her and Cam to share and do things with Cameron and Allison around. Maybe she should ask Cameron first. Right now there was a lot of food to try.

Savannah and Young Allison went in search of Claire and Summer. They found them in Claire's quarters. They all exchanged pleasantries.

Savannah wanted Young Allison to spend some private time alone with them before they left.

"I will fetch up Cammy and Anna." Savannah said. "You can finish up here."

Young Allison was going to protest but Savannah was already gone. She understood Savannah did not want to influence whatever they talked about. It would have made a difference if she'd remained.

It turned out that Claire was on her way to see Jesse and Jan was coming to practice with Summer. There were plenty of hugs to go around for the three of them….

Savannah entered the Command Center.

Cammy and Anna were still plugged in.

Cammy looked at John Henry and Anna. She quickly unplugged and went to Savannah. Right away Savannah smelled a 'rat'. Maybe the plans for lunch and the electric go carts would have to wait.

Savannah wanted to cut right to the 'chase'.

"Spill it, Cammy." Savannah said.

Cammy did not look back at John Henry or Anna.

"Everything is fine." Cammy said. "Steve and Tom are running down a few leads."

Savannah figured it was more than that. She looked at John Henry and Anna. Savannah wondered which one of them would give her the straightest answer. She doubted it was Cammy.

"What about you two?" Savannah asked. "Who wants to come clean?"

"It's what she said." John Henry said.

"There is nothing yet, Savannah." Anna said.

Savannah knew there was a lot of 'her' on Anna's chip.

"OK." Savannah said. "Which group is it?"

"We don't know yet." John Henry said. "We don't even know if we have a solid lead."

Savannah thought about it.

"I want to personally know as soon as you do." Savannah said.

That sounded inefficient to John Henry.

"What happens if you are busy?" John Henry asked.

Savannah answered without hesitation.

"Work comes before pleasure." Savannah said.

"I am supposed to notify Cameron." John Henry said.

Savannah wanted Cameron away from as much as possible. She was on a ship at sea. She did not want Cameron to worry about things she could not control or be a part of. There was not much she could do but worry needlessly.

"You will notify me first and I will make that determination." Savannah said.

Anna was unplugged now.

"I'm ready." Anna said.

"So am I." Cammy said.

Savannah did not like the sudden rush.

"I never said we were going anywhere." Savannah said.

Cammy didn't need a timetable to know what happened everyday.

"It's lunch time." Cammy said. "You and Young Allison need to eat."

Savannah wanted to make sure everything was under control before she took Young Allison out.

"Have any other Terminators that are not doing something critical go and backup Steve and Tom." Savannah said.

John Henry checked.

"Al and Ed are on the way." John Henry said.

Savannah wanted to take a page out of Young Allison's playbook.

"Have CamNet send some drones at altitude to back them up." Savannah said.

"I already did that." Anna said. "I know what Young Allison wants."

Savannah looked at Cammy and Anna.

"So do I." Savannah said.

They all knew what that meant.

Young Allison said her 'goodbyes' to Summer and her mother. She walked out without looking back.

She spotted Savannah headed her way with Cammy and Anna in tow.

Savannah looked at Young Allison.

"Are you ready?" Savannah asked.

Young Allison smiled.

"I'm always ready." Young Allison said.

Savannah shook her head and tried not to smile back.
