Chapter 1335

Make It Snappy

Summer and Jan came over to assist Sarah and Claire with the preparation of the meal.

Sarah could see Summer knew what to do right away as she walked up. She didn't even need to ask. She checked all the pans herself and what was in the oven. She started to work on a salad with Jan. Claire previously laid everything out.

Riley and Jesse offered to help but Claire told them to relax.

They all shared some small talk and also talked about their time on the ship. It was evident that it was a very special time for all of them. They were very grateful to Cameron and John to have shared the experience with them. It seemed to draw all of them closer to each other. It was more than just the activity in the bedroom too.

Kyle and Derek felt a little guilty about not doing any Resistance work for a few days. Claire reminded them that it was a vacation for them. They all needed time to unwind and decompress. The easy smiles on everyone's face proved that. Even Sarah was able to smile some more than normal.

Sarah started to dish up the food on plates when Claire said some things were ready to serve.

Summer stopped Sarah.

"I want to make them look like they did on the ship." Summer said.

Jan thought that sounded like fun.

The girls quickly and carefully dished up the food and served them two plates each at a time. Everything was very precise and neatly arranged. The presentation did make a difference. It seemed to be more than visual.

Samantha attended to Precious so that Riley could enjoy her meal undisturbed.

Derek looked at the plate of food he was served by Summer. He took a moment to reflect on it. The visual aspect was stunning.

"This may not be the ship but this is the best food I have ever seen here." Derek said.

Derek tasted a bite.

"I can also say it is as good as any food on the ship too." Derek said.

Everyone agreed with him on both counts.

Claire took in the praise with modesty. She knew her way around the kitchen.

Sarah and her exchanged glances.

Claire also knew her way around the bedroom, especially with a female body.

"We all have something to contribute to the Resistance." Claire said. "We all do a part. Some of us may have a smaller part than others but every part we play helps."

No one could put their finger on it but somehow what Claire said was profound.

Kyle liked the food too. He also noticed before they left for the trip that Sarah spent a lot of time 'looking' at Claire when she was not looking. It only seemed to intensify on the ship. It looked like it was still happening here.

They had a lot of discussions about 'different people' in the beginning of their relationship. It always bothered Sarah that she was older than him. She often told him if he wanted to be with one of the younger women that she would understand and accept that. She told him she wanted him to be happy and satisfied.

He told her he was satisfied with her. He doubted any of the younger women would be able to do as well in bed as Sarah was able to do. He was always tired out before her. She told him of her earlier involvement with females in high school and some sporadic encounters after that. Most of the men she was with were because she 'had to' to help learn ways to protect John better.

Not long after he returned to the past, Vanna confided in him that she'd been pursuing Sarah and that she was going to back off because of his 'return'. She never said what was done and neither did Sarah. He never asked. Sarah only ever mentioned she still had a 'soft spot' for pretty women with substance.

He did not think Sarah would ever leave him but he also understood there needed to be some slack in the leash. Maybe it was a leash that they both held each other with. If she wanted to share with a female every now and then, he did not think it was a problem. He knew that was the way of the future with all the abuse that the females suffered. Sarah suffered her share of abuse too in the name of protecting John.

If Sarah wanted to reach out a little he was not going to oppose it. Claire and Savannah were the only ones around the base who often were 'happy' and had a smile on their face much of the time. He could understand that. It was a way to touch the life they all missed fighting Skynet. He hoped that Jan would grow and keep her smile. A Skynet future could take that way from her.

That remembrance made him think about what Cameron offered to his family and him before. He really wanted Jan to avoid the future if it was dominated by Skynet and all the Hell that went along with it. Could he send her into the past without Sarah or him? Sarah would want to stay with John to fight. He knew that was his duty too. It was not his daughter's duty. He'd seen females after Scavengers were 'done' with them. Sometimes he thought the 'lucky' ones were the ones that died.

He looked at Jan and Summer eating with Samantha and Precious next to them. None of those girls deserved what the future would do to them. He looked at Jesse. She sat next to Claire now as they ate. He knew the Hell she went through and what it did to her inside. She eventually became that Hell too. He was really surprised to see her 'change' as Cameron, Allison and Vanna 'worked' with her. He saw love change her. It was more than the sex the girls shared. She'd shared plenty of sex with Derek. That relationship only kept her in the weeds. She was the first female with a Metal lover. That really kept her out of trouble. A Metal girl could provide her with all the sex she wanted without stopping. The human girls gave her the emotional love she needed to find herself again.

"You haven't eaten a bite in several minutes." Sarah said.

Kyle blinked several times. Sarah's words brought him back to 'now'. He realized he was really lost in thought.

"I was thinking about what a wonderful family we all have here." Kyle said. "There is friendship and love here for everyone to share."

He glanced at Sarah and then at Claire.

Derek raised his glass of water.

"Hear, Hear." Derek said. "It's time for a toast to the Resistance and all its members both Metal and human. They are the salvation of mankind. We are all one family. Our time on the ship proved that."

Sarah looked at Kyle and made the toast with him.

Kyle saw Sarah then look in Claire's direction and smile. Claire did not see her since Jesse was toasting with her.

He could see there was some happiness for Sarah still to find in her life. She deserved that. He did not have a problem with that if it made Sarah happy.

Holly led the girls out and along the open deck. There was nothing but sky over them. The cool wind was even more intense than it was on the mostly sheltered walkway around the Promenade deck.

At this section of the ship they could see that water on both sides of them.

"This really is an open deck." Vanna said.

Holly quickened her pace.

"We will make it snappy." Holly said.

They passed by two of the pools one deck below the deck they were on now. They could look down on them.

"I like the view." Allison said.

Vanna looked down. There were some skimpy bikini clad females down there. There were also a few men down there too.

"I'd have to say 'I like the view' only if you look at the hot females." Vanna said. "The others don't do much for me."

Allison wondered why the pools so near each other.

"Why are the two pools so close but separated?" Allison asked.

There was a divide between the pools where the elevators were. They were separated by the central elevator shafts and the lifting mechanisms that controlled them.

"It is just the layout of the ship and for the elevators." Holly said. "They can have different functions or 'parties' at any of the four pools this way."

They passed by the second pool and could smell the pizzeria and grill hard at work.

"I could go for a slice of pizza." Allison said. "I can smell the pepperoni."

It seemed the smell of fresh food called out to Allison and Vanna.

"That does smell good." Vanna said. "I could eat a fresh burger right now." Vanna said.

Gail-Cam did not want Vanna to spoil her dinner.

"It will be dinner time in a little over two hours." Gail-Cam said.

Allison felt the desire to be with Holly more and more every minute as they walked. She wanted to make it clear what she wanted.

"That means after the tour we have time to hit the room and knock off a couple of quickies." Allison said.

Holly looked forward to that with anticipation too.

"There are plenty of rooms available for whatever combinations you want." Holly said. "You can do several."

Vanna wanted to be with Allison first but she could see Allison was fixated on Holly. That was fine. They were together before they came on board. She was more than ready to be with Cam in Gail's chassis. Gail often sought her out. At those times she knew she was 'Savannah' to Gail. That was never a problem for her. She wished she could be 'Savannah' again. The Savannah of the past was superior and fared better than the Vanna of the future. Life went on. She beat the past - her future and was still standing. She was still in the game.

"I'm sure we can think of a few combinations." Vanna said.

The girls all looked at each other and smiled.

"We need to go up a short flight of stairs." Holly said.

Allison saw there were only about ten steps.

"I'm good." Allison said.

They went up to the miniature golf area. There were two couples playing on it.

Vanna liked what she saw.

"I want to play on this. I have not been miniature golfing in a long time. This course looks like fun because it is short." Vanna said.

"Our group has access to it any time of the day." Holly said.

Gail-Cam looked over the railing on one side.

"I see the shuffleboard area down here." Gail-Cam said. "It looks boring."

Allison and Vanna looked over the side. They watched as a young boy shoved the puck with his pole. It missed everything and went past the end. His mother told him not to push it so hard the next time.

"I guess we could try that too." Allison said. "I'm sure the Metal girls can do this course up here all in a 'hole in one'."

Gail-Cam eyed the course and watched a ball hop over some of the uneven surface that one of the couples hit.

"The movement of the ship may hinder a shot or two." Gail-Cam said. "The course looks a little irregular and worn too."

Vanna looked over the side at the shuffleboard area. It did look boring. She could picture a Metal girl calculate every shot and get a perfect score every time. She was ready to move on.

"Where are we going to next?" Vanna asked.

"We can go to the front of the ship and look out from over the top of the bridge." Holly said.

Allison ran her hand across Holly's rear end.

"Maybe we can save that for when the ship is moving." Allison said. "I'm ready for the room."

Holly wanted that too. She was highly aroused every time she looked at Allison.

"We…." Holly started.

There was a loud long blast of the ship's horn. The horn was across the pool from where they were at. The sound was almost deafening. It was literally directed right at them. Allison and Vanna both held their ears.

"Damn, that thing is loud." Allison said.

"Tell me about it." Vanna said.

The girls still held their hands near their ears.

"Will it do it again?" Allison asked.

"Not usually." Holly said. "That means the ship is about to get underway. There will be more movement of the ship as it heads into the current and picks up speed."

That reminded Allison of something else.

"I'm ready for both of those things in bed." Allison said.

Allison took Holly's hand to make it clear who she wanted.

Gail-Cam reached out and took Vanna's hand.

"Follow me." Holly said. "The front elevators are almost right below us. We will be in the suite shortly."

To be with Holly in the suite seemed sweet to Allison right now.

"Lickity split, that's just the way I like it." Allison said.

Vanna looked at Allison and they both giggled.

Sheila monitored the girls on the top deck. They would be going down soon, in more ways than one. She decided to move Hanna and Ally to the Honeymoon suite.

She entered the spare bedroom of the Master Suite without knocking.

Ally and Hanna were 'Allison and Vanna' right now. Their 'Neural Interface' was showing to its full extent. They did not slow or stop in her presence.

"You need to finish up so I can remake the bed." Sheila said. "Vanna and Allison will be back soon. One of them will use this room with their Metal lover."

That revelation made Ally and Hanna 'come' to a rapid finish about thirty seconds later.

They rotated around and gave each other a long kiss.

Ally eyed Sheila.

"Are we going to make it a three way when we get there?" Ally asked.

That idea sounded good to Sheila.

"I don't see why not." Sheila said. "I will need to be with Cam-Gail when she is 'done'."

Ally saw it a little differently.

"You mean you want to be with her when she is done." Ally said.

It was what Sheila wanted.

"I have acquired a taste for 'love'." Sheila said. "It is something I 'inherited' from Jesse."

Ally was going to ask about the taste. She knew the human girls were all different and different at different times even.

She was sure Cameron would do everything with John when she was in control of her chassis. She would find out soon enough.

"I guess I will find out tonight." Ally said.

Sheila and Hanna both volunteered to go in her place if she changed her mind. Gail was back in there now in Cam's chassis. Holly indicated previously that she was ready to allow Cameron control again as well.

"You will not regret it." Sheila said.

Hanna treasured the experience.

"What Cameron did was beautiful." Hanna said. "You can feel the love between them. It was not sex. It was truly love being made."

Ally figured that wasn't the only thing she would feel between them as Cameron shared the file with her in real time.

"Collect your clothes and head over to the Honeymoon Suite." Sheila said. "I need to get started."

Ally wanted to assist her since they were there. They were the ones who 'messed' things up.

"That's OK because we just finished." Ally said. "We will help you and just go there naked when this room is good."

Sheila felt overdressed for the occasion.

"In that case we will all work naked." Sheila said.

She quickly stripped off her maid's outfit.

The three naked girls went to work. The room was perfect in no time.

Cameron asked John to start out on her chassis and then continue what he was doing with her in control of Cam-Gail's chassis. The transition should have been seamless and felt identical. It did not. There was increased stimulation now in Cam's chassis as she interfaced through Gail's chip. No wonder she enjoyed Gail's chassis so much earlier when Gail's chip was still in it.

She tried multiple positions and she was on top in several positions as well. There was no doubt about it. She would be able to compare these tests when she delivered Ally's virginity to John later tonight.

Very little was known about the human female that Gail shared the 'Neural Interface' with. It was a very limited program. It may be that the human female was a nymphomaniac. That would also explain Sheila's behavior some since her base program was 'Gail'. Having Jesse's 'Neural Interface' on top of it only made Sheila wilder and more extreme. It seemed that Sheila craved violence almost as much as she did sex.

Cameron was in her own chassis again. She could tell John was about to finish. She wanted the last finish in Cam-Gail's chassis. She had John switch over and he finished a short time later. She did too. She held John tightly against her sheath in Cam-Gail's chassis.

John was spent. He was exhausted from the 'testing'. It was almost like he was with Cameron the whole time other than the 'quick switches'. It was very seamless. It was actually very exciting for him. He could not tell any difference in the two chassis. They were identical to him. It was Cameron's response that he could feel was different in each chassis. He actually liked her response in Cam-Gail's chassis. Either way it was still Cameron.

He needed to rest for a little bit.

Young Allison still wanted to do something. The incident at the mall did not bother her. She wanted to be more of a part of it. She only deferred to Savannah's requests because she did not want to anger or upset her. She knew how much Savannah loved her and worried about her. It was a beautiful love based on emotion and feeling. She felt it too.

Savannah did not say much as Cammy drove. It was obvious she was upset about what happened or more likely what 'could have' happened.

Young Allison still held Savannah's hand.

"I would like to spend more time out with you." Young Allison said.

Savannah looked over at her. She gently squeezed her hand and smiled.

"I know." Savannah said. "That was an unfortunate incident earlier."

Young Allison did not think it was their fault.

"We did nothing wrong." Young Allison said. "We can still do other things."

Savannah knew Cammy and Anna were with them as was the Detail. They had five Terminators with them. There should be nothing to worry about. There was a lot of firepower available too. She wanted Young Allison to have a good time.

Savannah smiled at Young Allison. She felt very comforted by her.

"We can do something else." Savannah said.

Savannah did not know when she would be caught up in an operation again. She was lucky to have had enough free time to see CamNet and make love with her and now spend time with Young Allison. It made her feel a little guilty to wonder if she saw CamNet as a 'stand in' for Young Allison. She knew that Cammy was a 'stand in' for Cameron. Cammy was 'Cameron' even if she was 'modified'. Cammy still allowed Savannah to call her 'Cameron' sometimes when they made love as she sent Savannah to 'heaven'.

It was because Cammy was still so much 'Cameron' that they often butted heads and argued. They even fought before. They both thought the other one was unstable and a threat to Savannah.

"We can always go back to the pet store or go to another pet store." Cammy said.

Cammy was thrilled to be around young animals.

"That sounds like fun." Anna said.

Apparently so was Anna.

Savannah thought a different activity would be better. Going forward she would try and take Cammy where there was a pet store more often. She liked to see how happy it made Cammy. She would like to take Cameron to one as well.

"I think we have seen enough small animals for today." Savannah said.

Young Allison liked her time at the pet store too.

"It was fun for all of us." Young Allison said. "I don't get to be around animals much, especially small young ones."

Cammy listened to that statement.

"Maybe we can be around some big ones." Cammy said.

Anna liked that idea.

"We can go to the zoo now." Anna said. "We can see all kinds of different animals."

Savannah thought it was too late in the day for that.

"We should save that for another day and start out in the morning." Savannah said. "It is too late now."

Anna checked her phone.

"There's a 'petting zoo' in the Topanga mall. It's there for a week." Anna said. "We could do that."

Young Allison glanced over at Savannah. They both knew that was usually for younger children, not 'teenage' cyborgs.

"Maybe that was enough animals for today." Young Allison said.

Anna checked her phone again.

"We could do horseback riding." Anna said. "There are introductory riding 'ranches' right in the city on properties with an acre or two that offer that. We don't even have to go to the countryside or hillside to do it."

Savannah knew there was horseback riding in Griffith Park. Cameron took her there before on her birthday. She always asked her if she wanted a 'silver mountain bike' for some reason whenever they went there.

Young Allison took out her phone and checked a few things.

"If we don't try the horseback riding we could do a few other things." Young Allison said.

Savannah wondered what she had in mind.

"Like what?" Savannah asked.

"We could go to a trampoline park, try an escape room, go to the beach for the sunset, try a hot air balloon ride or go to an amusement park. Those are a few ideas." Young Allison said.

Cammy liked the idea of an amusement park. She had a specific one in mind."

"I want to go to Disneyland." Cammy said. "I want to go where Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty reside."

That sounded like fun to Anna.

"I guess we could catch Alice In Wonderland while we are at it." Anna said. "Knott's Berry Farm is right by Disneyland too. It's only a few miles away. We can do both of them."

Savannah knew those things took a lot of time because of the crowds. She realized they needed to be careful what they asked for as CamNet might 'buy' the park for a day or even buy one of the parks outright. She had billions of dollars of Syndicate and Cartel money to 'play' with.

"We can do the amusement parks some other time." Savannah said. "They take all day."

"We can do the horseback riding or go to the beach and see the sunset." Young Allison said. "There is the pier at Santa Monica too."

Young Allison went there with Cameron before. She watched her beat every game there one after another.

"I think we have all been there." Savannah said.

Cammy and Anna looked at each other.

"I haven't." Anna said.

Savannah wanted them to check their files. They both ran Cameron's program even if it was modified.

"Cameron has, so both of you have." Savannah said.

Cammy didn't like that answer.

"It's not the same thing." Cammy said. "I am identical to Cam but we are not the same. We are not the same as Cameron even if we started out as 'her'."

Cammy felt Cameron was unstable and should be deactivated. She could take her place for everything anyway.

Savannah did not want this to get out of control.

"We can try the horseback riding that remains at one location on the property." Savannah said. "Everything can remain contained that way."

Cammy and Anna were thrilled.

"Maybe I can ride a pony." Cammy said. "They look cute."

"I think you better stick with a full size horse." Savannah said. "You weigh a little more than you look."

Cammy touched her flat stomach.

"Do I look fat?" Cammy asked.

Anna looked over.

"You're still good." Anna said.

Cammy smiled.

"The horseback ride it is then." Young Allison said.

Savannah hoped this worked out for everyone. A horse was a large animal and would not be as 'friendly' as a puppy.
