Chapter 1363

This Was Their Idea

Cameron led the team into the rear lounge to watch the Zumba exercise session.

John was surprised at the number of older women that were there for the class. That was not his cup of tea. He liked the youthful appearance of the Metal girls.

Allison and Vanna watched the intense level of exercise.

"I'm out." Allison said. "I think the galley tour is more my speed."

Vanna did not seem interested in Zumba either.

"That looks like too much work." Vanna said.

Cameron led them away.

"We can always play miniature golf or shuffleboard." Cameron said.

Shuffleboard seemed to be an age old tradition on passenger ships.

"Didn't they play shuffleboard on the Titanic?" Vanna asked.

Cameron was not sure about that and the reference somewhat alarmed her. Maybe she would have Bob personally check every lifeboat.

"I don't know." Cameron said. "I think they did."

John wanted to get away from the Titanic reference as well. Now he thought about being the 'King of the world'. Cameron previously told him they could do that on the upper deck. He did not want to do that where the captain could see them. They'd used the deck below instead.

"Maybe we should stick with miniature golf." John said.

They all thought that sounded like a good idea.

Cameron knew they could also pass by the nude sunbathing area with a slight detour. It wouldn't hurt to take a look.

Savannah and Young Allison emerged from the back of the van with their beach attire on. They giggled and laughed as they came out.

Cammy and Anna entered the van and emerged less than a minute later.

"Did you put sun screen on?" Savannah asked.

"No." Cammy said.

"We did." Young Allison said.

Savannah and Young Allison looked at each other and giggled some more.

"It never hurts to be protected." Anna said.

Cammy carried a few towels.

"We don't need those." Young Allison said. "At least until we change back."

Anna did not want Young Allison to feel cold.

"The ocean water is not as warm as the pool water is." Anna said.

Savannah remembered the time when she was about to kiss Cameron on the pier. She needed to jump in the ocean to save the small child caught in a rip current. The water was very cold. She was pumped full of adrenalin so she was able to manage. A surfer helped her out and took the child ashore as she swam away to avoid the attention.

"I can attest to that." Savannah said. "It gets cold fast."

Young Allison looked at Savannah and knew what she referred to. CamNet let her see the reports about the 'redheaded mermaid' that 'saved' the child from drowning. The child always maintained that the 'mermaid' came up from the deep water below them to help them. That was because Savannah jumped off of the pier and went down deep in the water. She spotted the child above her as she came back up to the surface.

The four girls headed down to the water's edge.

Mel, Brian and Randy soon appeared wearing shorts.

There were not many people at this beach because of the heavy parking fee. There was also a short pier located there. It was used mainly for fishing.

The girls would play some beach volleyball and splash in the surf a little. They did not go out past the waves. They could see it made the Terminators uneasy for them to go beyond where they could get to them easily.

The shark reports bothered Savannah. She did not want anything to happen to Young Allison. They all worried about each other.

Derek and Kyle wanted a mission. Steve and Tom were back along with Al and Mel. The Reese brothers waited for John Henry to come up with something. They would even gladly take a recon at this point. They just wanted to do more.

They continued to watch all the footage CamNet and John Henry came up with about Savannah in the field and in combat. They'd seen some of it before. Most of it was new. The more they watched the more they were impressed with Savannah's exploits. She was on multiple 'death deifying' missions with Cameron mostly. Sometimes Cammy was there but they could not tell the difference. She was in two different futures too that were different from their future. Those futures looked just a bleak as their own. It looked like every future sucked.

Suddenly it hit Derek. Maybe John Henry was trying to stall them.

"Are you trying to keep us here?" Derek asked.

"No." John Henry said.

Kyle understood Derek's inference.

"If you got something we want to know." Kyle said.

John Henry did not want this to get out of hand.

"I have nothing concrete." John Henry said.

Derek and Kyle knew that left a lot of leeway.

"What do you have that isn't concrete?" Kyle asked.

John Henry did not want the Reese brothers in combat. What happened last night was bad enough. He quietly sent a message to Samantha to have Riley or Sarah pass by the Command Center. He could use some marital reinforcements and hopefully some restraint.

Sheila and Ally finished up with the suites. They bid Jim farewell and headed out of the private area. They called a truce on making each other's top or bottoms fall off. They all but ran up the stairs to get back to the nude sunbathing area. The only people there were the Metal girls still. They were a little disappointed.

"This place seems like 'Deadsville'." Ally said.

Sheila wanted a little variety.

"I'll say." Sheila said. "I was hoping for some fresh skirt."

Ally hoped something happened in their absence.

"Has anyone else even come here?" Ally asked. "We weren't gone that long were we?"

Holly sat up on her lounge chair.

"There have only been three more men by to peek in the gate before they hurried off." Holly said.

That sounded like a challenge to Sheila.

"Did anyone give them the 'full spread'?" Sheila asked.

The other Metal girls were more reserved.

"We decided to save that 'honor' for you." Hanna said. "It seemed more fitting for an 'exhibitionist' to do that."

Sheila did not care for the dig.

"If you got it, flaunt it." Sheila said.

The Metal girls all settled in on the lounge chairs as they sunned themselves. They were really on display and advertising. They hoped at least a few females would show up. It was still early for most of the passengers to be up and start any nude sunbathing.

Two additional older men looked in on them.

Sheila gave them something to see. They both made a hasty retreat.

"I guess looks don't kill." Ally said.

Sheila was a little disappointed. None of them grasped their chest.

"I tried." Sheila said.

Ally was not sure what it would take.

"Maybe they need to be older." Ally said.

Sheila thought Ally could always offer to do more and help her out.

"Maybe you need to make them think they are going to 'get lucky'." Sheila said.

Ally frowned. She didn't want any old men near her.

"I'm out." Ally said.

Hanna did not like that idea either.

Cameron checked in with Jim and was aware all the Metal girls were in the nude sunbathing enclosure. There was no one else present.

"Good news." Cameron said.

John waited for something more from Cameron. He needed to prompt her when she did not elaborate.

"What's 'good news'?" John asked.

Cameron smiled at John and the girls.

"We can visit the nude sunbathing area." Cameron said.

Allison looked at Vanna.

"I didn't bring anything to wear." Allison joked.

John was about to say something when he caught the joke.

They passed a couple of Hot shapely young ladies in skimpy outfits. The young ladies stopped and started to follow them. They hung back a little and looked around a lot.

Cameron glanced back.

"We've been acquired." Cameron said.

Everyone tensed up a little. They were on a cruise ship in the middle of the ocean. How could they be targeted?

Jim quickly sent Cameron a message when he noticed what happened. He informed Cameron that those were two of the girls that Sheila and Ally interacted with previously. Both of them received two sets of piercings from Sheila. They were known as Mary and Laura.

John, Vanna and Allison all wondered what Cameron was talking about as to who acquired them.

"Who is after us?" John asked.

Cameron wanted to clear things up. She gave them a brief explanation of who they were and what Sheila did for them.

Vanna was a little confused. That was something she would have liked to have witnessed.

"Do you mean that Sheila pierced them here on the ship?" Vanna asked. "She did the top and the bottom?"

Cameron reviewed the file.

"Yes." Cameron said. "That is the report I received."

Vanna and Allison were both interested. They would like to see Sheila's handiwork.

Mary and Laura closed in on Cameron's group. A third female came from the side and started to rapidly converse with Mary and Laura. It was Leticia. That slowed and stopped them.

Cameron took a turn and headed for a gate. She took out her card key and opened the unmarked gate. The four of them entered the first section of the nude sunbathing area.

Mary and Laura lost track of them when Cameron took the turn. Leticia was worried about some new problem with her roommate.

John looked back. He really liked the look of the third girl that intercepted the other girls.

"I think we lost them." John said.

Cameron could see John was interested in seeing more from them.

"I have their cabin number." Cameron said.

Vanna and Allison wanted to see a little more too.

"What is it?" Vanna asked as a joke.

Cameron told them the deck and the cabin number.

Vanna, Allison and John all made a mental note of that information.

They moved past a second gate and a sign that stated the area was for adults only. It said no photography or video was allowed.

They spotted the Metal girls waiting for them. Sheila gave them the same greeting she did the older men who peeked in.

John was impressed how far Sheila could stretch things. He did not go to that extreme when Cameron was in control of Sheila's chassis. He would do that the 'next time' though.

Ally wanted them to strip.

"Lose the threads." Ally said.

Vanna looked back at the gate.

"Jim can lock the two gates." Gail-Cam said.

Vanna went over to Gail-Cam and Allison went over to Holly. Everyone watched as they kissed.

Cameron moved close to John.

"This is a fine spread of females." Cameron whispered in his ear. "Just think, you've made love to me in all of their chassis."

The reminder excited Cameron as she looked at all of them nude.

John was well aware of that. He was also very aware of what was currently happening in his pants as he saw the six Metal girls all naked at the same time.

"It was beautiful, Cameron." John said. "Thank you for sharing everything with me."

Cameron smiled and kissed John.

"Jim has informed me the gates are locked." Cameron said. "You can have your 'one time' with any of them you want right now or all of them. They are all ready."

That thought thrilled John.

Wait.

"Do you mean it has to be here and right now?" John asked.

John looked around. It would need to be on a lounge chair or on a towel on the deck.

"They've all received the file of you making love to me in their chassis. We are all friends and family here." Cameron said. "Go have some fun. It will be like a repeat experience for you. For them it will all be their 'first time'."

John was nervous. He was sure Cameron was messing with him.

"Everyone will see me and watch me." John said.

Cameron knew with the file transfer there was nothing they hadn't seen.

"They already have." Cameron said.

John felt embarrassed to think of an audience watch him perform even if they all had the file of Cameron and him.

"I don't think I can do that this way." John said. "I don't want to do it this way. I would like privacy."

Cameron smiled.

"Don't ever say I didn't honor my end of the bargain." Cameron said. "You had your chance to pick any of them or all of them."

John pointed out there were two new contenders.

"Vanna and Allison are here too." John said.

Cameron smiled as she broke the news to John.

"This was their idea." Cameron said. "They are both available too."

John showed new interest.

"They are?" John asked.

"They are." Cameron said.

John looked at Vanna and Allison.

"OK." John said. "I'm in."

Cameron waited for him to fold.

"Remember everyone will be watching." Cameron said.

"Even you?" John asked.

"Even me." Cameron said.

John looked at the six naked Metal girls and at Vanna and Allison. He buckled in his determination. He did not want an audience. He realized each time Cameron 'borrowed' one of the Metal girl's chassis he had an audience.

"Let's go." John said. "I can't do this, this way."

Vanna and Allison made a point of giving each of the Metal girls a kiss and a squeeze or two so John could see them do it.

They rejoined Cameron and John.

"Opportunity like this does not knock often." Allison said.

John headed for the gate. He paused and looked back once.

"We'll see." John said.

John led the group out of the nude sunbathing area. He liked what he saw but he was glad to get away. He did not want to share with anyone with an audience present. If it was one on one he was willing to 'do' as may of them as he could.

Mary and Laura wanted to follow Cameron, Allison and Vanna. John was there with them as well. Leticia interrupted them and they lost them.

They finished up with Leticia and she left. There was not much they could do about her problems on the ship.

They looked around for Cameron's group but did not see them.

"Maybe they went to the nude sunbathing area." Mary said.

Laura hoped so. She wanted to check them out. She wanted a good look at those two twins. She hadn't seen much of the one twin when she was with her Asian friend. She'd only see the other one in passing.

They came around the corner only to see John lead the group away.

Laura looked at the group as they departed from the entrance to the nude sunbathing area.

"Well, do we follow them or see what's available?" Laura asked. "We might be able to catch some fresh slash if we go in."

Laura figured their new jewelry would be a conversation starter.

Mary watched the quartet disappear around another corner. She wanted to see what was inside waiting for them.

"Let's see what the gods have provided us with." Mary said. "We are total 'chick magnets' now."

Laura smiled.

"That's what we hoped for." Laura said.

Mary touched one of her nipple rings.

"I think we are a magnet to men or women." Mary said. "We need to be careful."

They entered the nude sunbathing area and passed the sign and the second gate. They figured once they stripped they would be the Hottest number there.

They were stunned at what they saw. They looked at each other.

They spotted Ally, Cam-Gail and Hanna. They were sure they just watched them walk away from here with that cute guy.

"There couldn't be four of them could there?" Mary whispered.

Laura wasn't sure what she'd seen at this point.

"I don't think so." Laura whispered. "That seems impossible."

Mary looked at the six Metal girls.

"These women are all super Hot." Mary whispered. "We can't compete with any of them, jewelry or not."

Laura could see that.

"Maybe we should go." Laura whispered. "We can come back later."

Sheila and Ally got up. They did not want the girls to leave.

"Hello, love." Sheila said. "Care to join us?"

"It's Peggy and Sue." Mary said.

Laura looked at Ally, Cam-Gail and Hanna. She had a few questions.

"Did you just get here?" Laura asked.

Ally already knew what to expect. Jim filled her in.

"We did just a minute ago." Ally said. "Why do you ask?"

Mary was sure they just saw them leave.

"I could have sworn I saw someone who looked just like three of you leave." Mary said.

The Metal girls all had an answer to that one.

"We have a common face." Ally said. "We get that a lot."

Sheila wanted to show off her handiwork to the other Metal girls.

"These are my two Hot friends, Mary and Laura." Sheila said. "I just told my friends how I helped make you two even Hotter."

The Metal girls were all up now and ended up lining up in breast size order.

Laura looked at the breasts on Holly and then on Gail-Cam.

"Wow!" Mary said. "Are those things real?"

Gail-Cam smiled.

"They're natural for me." Gail-Cam said.

Laura looked back and forth between Holly and Gail-Cam.

"Impressive." Laura said.

Sheila wanted to show off her handiwork and have the girls strip.

"Will you join us?" Sheila asked.

Sheila made a point of adjusting her nipple rings.

Mary and Laura looked at the row of Metal girls. They saw that everyone one of them was perfect. Their skin was perfect and there was not a mark, scar or blemish on any of them. They also noticed the only hair on any of them was on their head. They both felt inadequate in the presence of the Metal girls. What made the feeling worse was that they were 'knockouts' any other place themselves but not here.

"Maybe we will come back later." Mary said. "We just wanted to see if the nude sunbathing area was for real."

Laura thought maybe another time would be better as well to come here. They wanted to be the stars, not second best or a 'runner up'.

"We were on our way to somewhere else." Laura said.

Mary looked at all six of the Metal girls. There was a radiance and sexuality to their beauty.

"Are you the showgirl performers?" Mary asked. "You are all incredibly beautiful."

Sheila assured her they were not. She wanted them to strip off their tops or at least flash the other Metal girls.

They both reluctantly agreed to take their tops off.

Sheila examined the piercings. Everything was it should be.

"Everything looks beautiful." Sheila said.

The other Metal girls all complemented them too.

Mary and Laura put their tops back on and left.

Ally figured Jim monitored everything but she wanted to make sure. She used her com and told him to warn Cameron's group if Mary or Laura neared where they were.

Cameron was already at the miniature golf area when she received the notice from Jim about the warning from Ally. She did not trouble the others with it. They were very isolated where they were currently at.

It was time to play the game.

"We all know Cameron is going to win so there is no need to keep score." Allison said. "We will simply crown her champion before we start."

Vanna liked that idea.

"That way we can have some fun." Vanna said.

Cameron did not like being chastised for her 'natural ability'.

"I can only play with the skills I was built with." Cameron said.

John did not want Cameron to get upset.

"You're the greatest, Cameron." John said.

Cameron smiled at John.

"You play first, Cameron. That way you can give us tips on where to hit." Vanna said.

Cameron played the holes first and then helped each of them make the shots. None of them needed more than three swings to sink the ball. A few of the holes were made in two tries. They each ended up with a single hole in one. They all had a good time and it was fun.

They would play there for an hour and then head down for the galley tour.

Anna worried about the sunscreen wearing off on Young Allison and Savannah.

"You will need to reapply the sunscreen soon." Anna said. "It is only good for so long especially if you stay in the water."

Savannah took the warning seriously even if Young Allison didn't. She did not want to stay out too long. There were a few others at the beach now and she did not like them looking at Young Allison or her.

"I think we can wrap it up soon anyway." Savannah said.

Young Allison looked disappointed.

"You don't want to get sun damage to your skin." Cammy said. "If you want to look like me one day you need to protect yourself too."

Young Allison knew the drill.

"When Skynet blows up the world, anyone not wearing 'two million sun block' is going to have a real bad day." Young Allison said. "I get it."

Anna did not think Young Allison should joke about that.

"We are working to prevent that." Anna said. "All of us are trying to do that."

Savannah wanted to stick up for Young Allison.

"Allison knows that." Savannah said. "She was just trying to be funny."

Cammy was serious.

"Billions of people die when that happens." Cammy said. "Billions of them died."

Young Allison did not want to cause a problem.

"Everyone relax. I was just fooling about." Young Allison said. "We can clean up and go back."

They'd all had a good time so far.

They cleaned up and everyone changed back into their street clothes.

CamNet took care of the parking fee for them and all the guests for the rest of the day. It was complements of the Syndicate.

Young Allison was not so sure why everyone was so touchy. She hoped Savannah would let her drive still.

Savannah did not think what Young Allison said was a big deal. She handed her the keys to the SUV.

"I want you to drive safely like you did on the way here." Savannah said.

Young Allison smiled and took the keys.

"Thank you." Young Allison said. "Which way do you want me to go back?"

Savannah would leave that up to Young Allison.

"I'll let you pick." Savannah said. "I need to let John Henry and CamNet know so they can make sure all law enforcement is out of the area."

Young Allison would like to drive along the shore for awhile.

"Can I drive to Point Mugu and then cut inland?" Young Allison asked. "I can take Los Posas Road back to Lewis Road to the 118."

Savannah flew this same route in the B-25 before.

"I see someone has looked at a map." Savannah said.

Young Allison had done just that very thing. She wanted the best drive for everyone on the way back. The route she chose was more scenic and there were no canyon roads to contend with.

"I may have checked my phone while we used the rest room for a minute." Young Allison said. "I want everyone to have a good time."

Savannah thought it was a nice day for a drive along the coast. Most of PCH was along the coast too if they went north.

"We can do that. Let me check with John Henry first." Savannah said. "I don't want any surprises."

Savannah checked and did not see any operations pending or developing for the next few hours. She looked at Cammy and Anna.

"Are we good?" Savannah asked.

"Yes." Cammy and Anna both said.

Savannah looked at Young Allison

"Surf's up." Savannah said. "PCH it is."

A giant smile blossomed on Young Allison's face.

"Oh boy." Young Allison said. "Thanks."

Young Allison headed out of the parking lot and up the narrow winding road to PCH. She waited at the light and then made a left onto PCH. She'd studied up on music groups from when she would go back in time. Maybe she could find a few oldies on the radio.

Derek and Kyle still wanted to get out on an operation.

Riley arrived at the Command Center with Precious in the stroller.

"What is everyone scheming?" Riley asked.

Derek quickly looked at Kyle and John Henry.

"Nothing." Derek said.

"You've been here for a few hours." Riley said.

They saw Samantha look in. She'd been waiting out in the hall.

"Come in." John Henry said. "There is room for everybody.

"Thank you." Samantha said.

Derek did not think he was going anywhere at this point. Not when the 'boss' was around.

Jesse and Claire already finished two fancy dishes for lunch.

Sarah was there now. She just checked on Jan and Summer.

Jesse and Claire greeted her.

"What are you two up to?" Sarah asked.

Jesse noticed that Claire and Sarah shared some long looks. She would mention it later but not now. She wanted to see more.

Claire explained what they made and what they were working on currently.

"Wow." Sarah said. "That's amazing. I need to work with you some more too, Claire."

Jesse wanted Sarah to stay. She wanted to see where this was going. She was aware that if Claire could 'break the ice' with Sarah, that it would make Sarah more available to all of them.

"You can stay and help us finish up." Jesse said. "There's always room for one more."

Claire and Sarah picked up on the double meaning by Jesse.

Claire decided to move on and started right in on the next dish they were going to make. She was going to allow Jesse and Sarah to do it on their own as she only verbally instructed them.

She could not help herself as she pictured Jesse and Sarah together as she watched them pleasure each other.
