Chapter 123

Everyone Is Different

Cameron was much happier these last few weeks for a change. Things with John and the girls were back to normal. She really did understand the love of all of them better. She saw each of them sacrifice their personal desires and wishes and instead try to help her to help herself. Sacrifice was the true test of love. When one is willing to give up anything, even the thing they want most in life to help or protect the one they love. It showed they put the one they love before themselves. Cameron witnessed this first hand.

She replayed her time with River. She listened to what River told her about how other people feel. River helped her to see that she was no different. It was that she 'felt' things more and was not able to let go of things. River explained that 'time' for most humans helped dull the pain of past events. For her each past event was as if just occurred and the pain was always just as intense. That was what caused her so much distress and trauma. Every bad thing that ever happened to her would replay as if it just happened, one after another, after another…, at full intensity. River explained that would drive a person insane if that is how every bad event that ever happened were viewed and felt.

River helped Cameron develop a filter to slow those memories down so she would not feel the pain as intense. It worked to some extent. Still there were times when things seemed to creep through. Everything was in her mind and always on her chip.

It was time to set things right and recognize things were different. Cameron knew she was better than she'd been acting. There was one big hang up to correct now that she could filter her past. It was time to do the right thing.

Cameron sought out Riley.

"Hello, Riley." Cameron said as she smiled at her.

Riley was pleased to see Cameron.

"Hi, Cameron." Riley said.

Cameron tried to make Riley feel at home here as part of the group. She could not blame this girl for what another version of Riley did to her. It wasn't THIS person. Riley was not Future Riley. Future Jesse was just as responsible for that. She did not hold that against Jesse. She knew these people were not the same ones who hurt her, even if they evolved from the same person.

Cameron wanted to reach out to Riley in a meaningful way. She was not sure what she wanted to do or how to do it. There were a few ideas that crossed her mind.

"Can I come by your room later on?" Cameron asked.

Riley was not sure why. She was afraid to ask.

"Sure." Riley said.

Cameron smiled at Riley.

"I will see you at three then." Cameron said as she walked away.

Riley didn't know if she should be scared or feel happy. She was unsure what was about to happen. Cameron seemed genuinely happy and friendly. She felt she needed to make it up to Cameron what another future version of herself did to her. She didn't think it was a good time to point out that if John hadn't been so lustful and greedy that none of this would have happened in the first place. She knew John let the little head think for the big head.

Riley waited in her room. She was unsure what was going to happen. She straightened her room and made her bed. The results did not look perfect to her. She checked the time and did both of those things again. She was satisfied this time. She wanted to make a good impression on Cameron.

She hoped Cameron was not going to harm her. She didn't think so but the thought crossed her mind. It was not a pleasant thought. Cameron was very nice to her for the last few weeks, real nice. It was like she cared about her.

Riley reflected on how no one ever cared for her other than the two minutes that they 'used her'. Derek and her were on and off. At least Derek would spend enough time with her for her to reach 'heaven'. Derek was a good man but he was still lost. She knew he was hung up on Jesse still. Then again he did always eyeball Cameron, everyone did, Man, Woman and Machine. Only Gail and Holly did not at first but now they did too. They'd become friendly to Riley as well.

She liked being around the Metal girls. They were unlike Cameron or the male Terminators. They did things differently and acted differently. They were both created as Restorators by Mrs. Weaver. They were also from her future.

Riley's mind drifted some as she waited for Cameron.

Riley remembered back to one time when Gail and Holly were at the base together. It did not happen often. They were arguing. The nature of the argument surprised her. It was sort of funny but serious at the same time. She couldn't help but listen in.

Gail and Holly faced each other.

"Mine are bigger than yours, Holly." Gail said.

"Mine are better proportioned and my nipples are smaller and pinker." Holly said. "Size isn't everything. Mine are more beautiful."

Riley walked up after she'd listened for a short while. She wanted to get in on this conversation. She casually strolled into the area as if she didn't know what they were discussing.

Gail saw her first and called her over.

"We want your honest opinion." Gail said.

Riley wanted to see where this was headed.

"OK." Riley said. "I think I can do that."

Holly looked pleased that Riley would help.

"Thank You." Holly said. "We want someone who is fair to be the judge."

Riley could see they were both very competitive right now.

"What do I need to do?" Riley asked.

Holly and Gail looked at each other. They both wanted to be the victor.

Much to her surprise and delight, Gail and Holly stripped off their tops.

"Who has the most attractive breasts?" Gail asked.

Riley was somewhat surprised as she was impressed.

"Wow!" Riley said.

She was a little stunned they did that but she was even more surprised at how HOT these two 'machines' really were.

"I can say you are both really 'built'." Riley said.

She was not so sure her choice of words was the best choice since both of them were actually constructed or built.

"Whose are bigger?" Gail asked.

"Whose are prettier?" Holly asked.

This was too good to be true. Riley asked if she could touch them. She knew a chance like this would probably never happen again. She also always wondered what the breasts of a female Terminator really felt like.

Riley was surprised. Their breasts felt just like the human one's that she'd touched before. She too found comfort in other females in her future. They knew what it took to get the 'job' done. Females seemed to be the only ones who could 'return' feelings of love.

Gail's breasts were softer and bouncy and Holly's were firmer, tighter and more solid.

Riley looked around and no one was in the area.

"Let's go in this room here." Riley said.

Once they were in the room, Riley took off her top.

The Metal girls looked at her and at each other.

"Your breasts are 'different' too." Gail said.

Riley wanted to get them to explore some.

"Touch mine and touch each other breasts. It's no big deal really. It is beautiful. They all look and feel different. Every female is like this, they are all different."

They did. It seemed that they both like Riley's breasts the best. That may have been because Riley allowed them to her breasts.

Riley thought she like the look of Holly's breasts the best but she did not say that. She did not want to 'close' any doors if the Metal girls ever wanted a 'little more'. She would be willing to give it a try if they wanted to explore some.

There was something else Riley wanted to make them aware of if they weren't already. This was her 'favorite part' on every female.

"I am not going to show you mine but down there." Riley indicated between her legs. "They are all 'different' too. Every single one of them on every female is different in some way. The size, shape, texture, coloring and especially the pigmentation changes are all different."

Gail and Holly looked at each other.

They both started to take off their pants. There was a new challenge to be waged.

"I'm going to go now." Riley said.

She put her shirt back on and left.

She did pause at the door and look back. She really liked what she saw. Much to her surprise Gail was very compact and trim. Holly was a little different in several ways. She felt they both looked better than her.

She continued out the door. She was relieved she did not see either one of them the rest of the day.

Riley smiled at that whole chain of events. She also needed to think about what was about to happen now as she sat in her room and waited.

The knock at the door startled Riley.

She snapped back to the present.

Cameron opened the door and walked into the room.

Riley wondered if Cameron was here to kill her.

"Hello, Riley." Cameron said.

There was a smile on Cameron's face.

"Hello, Cameron." Riley said.

Riley thought things seemed good so far.

"Riley, I want to apologize to you personally if I've ever treated you poorly or meanly for something that you did not do." Cameron said.

Riley thought Cameron looked sincere. Maybe she'd better come clean about everything.

"I did sort of try a few times." Riley confessed. "Nothing ever happened."

Cameron knew as much.

Sometimes events drove themselves.

"It happens." Cameron said. "All is well that ends well."

She wanted to make Riley look Tight and spend the evening with her. She wanted Riley to feel 'special' at least for a night.

This was Cameron's attempt to 'reach out'. Her attitude toward this girl bothered her. This was her own doing and not the fault of Riley.

River told Cameron she was better than what she made herself feel. It was time she made some good feelings for a change.

Cameron carried a bag with her along with some makeup supplies. She set the makeup supplies down and opened the bag.

"I got you a few things." Cameron said.

Riley was very surprised.

"You did? Thank you, Cameron." Riley said.

Cameron took everything out one at a time. The last two items were a sexy bra and skimpy panties.

Now Riley was really surprised.

"You can put them on." Cameron said.

Riley was a little hesitant. Cameron wanted her to get naked in front of her.

Cameron sensed her hesitation.

"I can take my clothes off if it makes you feel more comfortable." Cameron said.

Riley was even more surprised. That thought excited her greatly.

"I'm good." Riley said. "Nudity was common in the future."

As Riley removed each piece of clothing, Cameron neatly folded them.

Riley stood naked before Cameron.

"You are very beautiful." Cameron said.

Riley smiled.

"Thank you." Riley said.

Riley put the underwear on first.

"This looks sexy and fits perfect." Riley said.

Cameron smiled.

"I picked them out just for you." Cameron said.

Riley put on the rest of the clothes. She felt she looked beautiful in them.

"These are very pretty clothes." Riley said. "Thank You."

Cameron indicated that Riley should sit in front of her dresser with the mirror on it.

"Let's get started." Cameron said.

Cameron took out a hair brush and began to brush her hair.

Riley felt so much emotion right now. No one every cared about the way she looked or brushed her hair before except her mother. She died when Riley was small.

She watched Cameron work on her in the mirror. She felt so much love for Cameron right now.

Maybe Cameron was going to fix her up and then snap her neck. She hoped so. If she was going to die, she wanted to die happy.

Cameron finished with Riley's makeup.

Riley looked at herself in the mirror. Was that really her?

"Wow! I've never looked this good ever, Cameron." Riley said.

Cameron was pleased with her work.

"You look Tight now." Cameron said.

Riley looked at Cameron and said what she felt.

"You always look Tight, Cameron." Riley said. "Nobody is more beautiful than you."

"Thanks you. I try." Cameron said. "John likes me to look Tight."

Riley wondered how Cameron knew that.

"Did John tell you that?" Riley asked.

Cameron touched up a few spots on Riley.

"No. When I scan him I can tell." Cameron said.

She wondered if Cameron just scanned her.

"Do you scan everyone?" Riley asked.

"Yes, some more than others." Cameron said.

"Why?" Riley asked.

"I like to make sure everyone is 'healthy'." Cameron said.

Riley knew Cameron tracked all the other female's reproductive cycles for John. Now she wondered if Cameron tracked hers. She was going to ask but thought better of it. Cameron was reaching out to her; she'd better not blow it.

"Let's go out." Cameron said.

Cameron was satisfied with her work. Riley was perfect.

"Where to?" Riley asked.

"You pick it." Cameron said. "I want you to have fun and a good time."

'Your Mama Don't Dance' by 'Loggins and Messina', played as Cameron finished the makeover.

Different But Yet The Same

When they find out you are different
The jackals and vultures circle with thrill
They look for the weak ones
Waiting for the unmerciful kill

Because we are both different
We are both the same
Outcasts, shunned and shamed
In a world of torment and pain

Our only crime was to be born
But our guilt remains the same
Afraid of life to love or receive
Seeking comfort in death's shame

I am not afraid to perish
I do not think you are either
We can find this escape in minutes
Yet we still give life a breather

If I am insane - please tell me
I need to know truth's lameness
I believe WE can see more clearly
Than those in the fog of sameness

We followed different paths
Some a life if extremes and vice
Fear, hiding and NOTHINGNESS
Do not make tomorrow anything to entice

We started in the same place
We have finished in the same place
Had we lived a different life
It would have made no difference to erase

For we are in an equal place
It is the yin and the yang
The positive and negative
Different but still the same we harangue

Nobody
