Chapter 161

Blueberry Hill

Gail and Jesse left the club and headed out. They wanted to get back to the base as soon as possible.

They shared some small talk and a lot of 'hungry' looks on the way home.

Jesse wanted to ask about Duplicate Jesse but somehow it didn't seem right to bring it up. She wanted to know how she would 'fit in'.

Cameron previously explained it all to Jesse and how they were identical. Jesse thought that would have been hot to meet an identical version of herself. She was pretty sure they would have started to 'explore' each other. At least they could do to each other all the things they wanted to try, because both of them would want the same things.

They arrived at the base. Jesse was unsure what was going to happen. She knew an identical version of herself did 'this' and enjoyed it enough to become partners with Gail. That meant she should too.

Jesse wanted to see what 'this' was going to be like, even if it was only for one time. She wanted to try it and try it right now.

Gail possessed a lot of 'insight' of her own because she'd already done this before with Duplicate Jesse. She knew what Jesse liked and wanted. When they reached Jesse's room, she knew what Jesse 'wanted' when they went inside.

Gail picked Jesse up and carried her into her room.

That gesture surprised Jesse.

Did Gail just carry her 'across the threshold'? Jesse wondered. It was like a fantasy or secret dream to her. It was a special desire that she kept hidden away. It was something she remembered from when she was younger. It was a story her mother read to her.

She liked the strength and forcefulness of Gail.

Jesse may have had a few more drinks than was necessary at the club. She didn't think she was that intoxicated. Gail started in on her. Everything just seemed beautiful to her as it happened. It was almost like Gail knew everything she desired. Then again, Gail did know. She'd done all this before with Duplicate Jesse - HER Jesse, HER beloved. She wondered where she would stack up in all this.

She was extremely excited. She was sure it was more so than she'd ever been. Jesse dreamed of what it would be like, to be with Cameron. Now she was about to find out with someone as close to 'Cameron' as she would ever get. She looked at Gail and her HOT body. That was close enough she thought and those knockers just didn't quit…. Look at the size of those things.

Gail took the beer bottle out of Jesse's hand and set it on the dresser. She laid Jesse on her bed and kissed her long, slow and deep. Once again she literally took Jesse's breath away.

She was very pleased to feel Jesse respond to her. It was very much like the first time she was with Duplicate Jesse. She wanted to be positive that this was what Jesse wanted.

"Are you sure?" Gail asked.

Gail wanted Jesse to make a choice. Gail wanted to be chosen.

"I am, Gail. I'm ready." Jesse said. "I want YOU. I choose you."

Gail was very pleased to hear that. Cameron provided the opportunity to bring her beloved 'back' to her, just like she promised. It was now that Gail was thankful for Cameron reactivating her. She owed Cameron a lot for two reasons. One was that she was 'alive'. The other was that Jesse was back and wanted her.

Jesse wanted THIS 'bad', real bad. The anticipation drove her wild.

"I want just YOU when we share. Don't use any fancy or advanced programming." Jesse said. "I want the real you."

Gail smiled. That was what she wanted to hear too. Jesse wanted more than a machine. Jesse was about to belong to her 'again'. Her beloved was about to be reincarnated….

Gail was aware this is what she'd 'dreamed' of since the moment Cameron told her Jesse 'lived', a Jesse. Now it would be HER Jesse 'again'.

She was aware how she interacted with Duplicate Jesse and what songs set the mood for when they shared. Duplicate Jesse often wanted sex and to finish as many times as possible. There were other times when Duplicate Jesse wanted more. She felt very inadequate at those times. Vanna and Allison were what she needed then.

This is where they were now and it was time to set the mood.

"In that case, let me start with this song." Gail said.

Jesse and Gail gently kissed, slowly stripping each other….

'Blueberry Hill' by 'Fats Domino', played in the background.

Cameron arrived back at the base with Holly, Allison and Vanna. Holly thanked everyone and quickly left the group.

Allison watched her go. She saw Holly look back once as she went around a corner. She joined in on the conversation that Cameron and Vanna started.

"We all shared a great time tonight, Cameron." Allison said.

Vanna enjoyed her time at the club. It was not something that happened often. The girls did not get out much.

"Thanks, Cameron." Vanna said. "This was sure better than the jungle we were in."

Cameron agreed with that statement. What was she thinking when she left in the first place? She loved being with the girls. They were never negative towards her.

"I like spending time with you too." Cameron said.

Cameron wanted to say 'more' but decided against it. Now might not be the time. She did not want to spoil the evening for anyone. She left them at their room but listened to their conversation from down the hall. She knew what was sure to come next.

"What did you want to talk about, Vanna?" Allison asked.

Vanna felt depressed and unsure. She was very troubled….

She was afraid it was going to open a whole can of worms. She wanted to dodge the issue for now.

"I'm tired. It can wait until tomorrow." Vanna said.

Allison wanted to know what troubled Vanna but decided to let it go, for now. It seemed Vanna did not want to discuss it right now.

"Sure, Vanna, it can wait until later." Allison said.

Cameron moved on. She hoped so. She really wondered if she was going to come clean to the girls or lie about it.

Cameron was a little uneasy as to how things were going to play out. There was no getting around it at this point. She retreated to John's room, their room.

John smiled as she entered the room.

"How did your 'ladies' night' out go?" John asked.

They all made it back undamaged. That seemed good to Cameron. There were no terminations.

"It went pretty good." Cameron answered. "Everything worked out fine."

John was aware things could get a little wild at times. He wanted to know a little more but was sort of afraid of the answer.

"Were there any altercations or challenges?" John asked.

Cameron frowned a little.

"Well…." Cameron started and paused.

Now John was really worried.

"Oh boy." John said. "Spill it…."

Holly went to her room. She experienced a great time out with the ladies. She really enjoyed being around Cameron. In fact she missed Cameron being 'in' her on her chip. It was like a part of her was 'missing' now. She'd wanted to do 'more' with John but she did not feel Cameron was ready. Cameron would not tell John she was in her. She did not understand why. John would still love Cameron in whatever chassis she was in or whatever sheath she had.

She knew Cameron was upset the time that she asked John if he would prefer her chip in Gail's body. She decided that Cameron could have her chassis or Gail's chassis and be 'herself'. Cameron did not want that for some reason. Holly would have given Cameron her choice so that Cameron could 'live' and be with John as herself even if the sheath and chassis were 'different'. She understood Cameron was her program and not her sheath.

Holly did not know but that reason was because of the blonde hair that they both used to have. It reminded Cameron too much of Riley - Future Riley. Cameron could not bear the thought of John being with her and 'seeing Riley' instead….

It gave her some pause to reflect on with the 'looks' she'd shared and exchanged with Allison. She was not sure if it was because Allison looked like Cameron or there was something else.

Cameron really did not want to drag John into the darker parts of the night. They were a little thrilling for her.

"It was after Allison and Vanna were done dancing…." Cameron started.

John wanted to hear more.

"Go on." John urged.

Cameron smiled to herself as she continued.

"There was a group of men that wanted to 'pick them up'." Cameron said. "Allison told them to - blow."

John nodded. Allison was very vocal at times.

"I can picture that." John said.

Cameron used a little of her 'natural ability' to get her point across to the men.

"I did not like what I saw or heard." Cameron said. "I walked over towards them. Then one of them said something mean to Allison. I did not like them to be rude towards the girls. 'Is there a problem here?' I asked. I slowly crushed the metal napkin holder in my hand as they all watched. The one who insulted Allison said, 'No, no problem'. I put my face right in front of his. 'If you have a problem with my sister, then you have a problem with - me'."

John smiled as he visualized the scene.

"Go on." John said.

"Then Holly walked up in her red dress and asked, 'Should I call for the ambulance now?' One of the men asked why as no one was hurt. Holly suggested they leave before they left in an ambulance. Holly then tore the crushed metal napkin holder in half and said, 'Don't make me bust you up'."

John laughed.

"The men apologized, offered to pay for our drinks and left." Cameron finished with some hesitation.

John was a little worried about the hesitation.

"That doesn't sound too bad so far." John said.

Cameron was quiet for a few seconds.

"Then we left to come back…." Cameron started and paused.

John slowly let out his breath.

"Oh boy. Let's have the rest of it…." John said.

Cameron did not want to get into too much detail.

"I needed to shoot out the tires on a vehicle that tried to follow us home." Cameron said. "It was some other group of men that picked us up at a stoplight."

John wondered if there were some terminations after all.

"You only shot out the tires?" John asked.

"Yes." Cameron said. "I was going to terminate them because they will probably become Scavengers in the future. Allison and Vanna both asked me not to kill anyone so I didn't."

John waited to see if there was more.

"That was it?" John asked.

Cameron paused again.

"Those were the only events of consequence." Cameron said.

Holly was aware that Cameron sacrificed herself to trap and terminate Skynet. She wondered if it was to protect John or to settle a personal score or both. Cameron blocked many things from her. Cameron also shared much with her. When she wanted to know more about her pain and hurt, Cameron directed her to her poem book. Cameron instructed her to read each one and she would share her 'feelings' with her as she read it. It was the specific feeling Cameron felt when she created it. Cameron would share it unfiltered. It would be what she felt as well at that point.

Holly picked up the book and looked at it.

MY POEMS

(Art Of The Mind)

By

NOBODY

As Holly read she felt the pain Cameron felt. She cried along with Cameron as she relived each one. The pain Cameron felt was intense….

Even in Holly's chassis, Cameron knew if she could still feel pain, she was still alive….

These were new 'feelings' for Holly to experience. They were most unsettling and disturbing. She was now able to better understand Cameron and her extreme actions.

Jesse experienced the time of her life. She could not believe the way Gail could make her feel. Gail knew just when to do everything to make it better and how best to do it.

"That was amazing, Gail." Jesse gasped.

Gail smiled. She had a beautiful smile when she smiled. It was not often.

"Are you ready for more?" Gail asked.

Jesse loved the experience of everything.

"You know exactly what I want and when." Jesse said.

Gail smiled again. She had a lot of practice with Duplicate Jesse.

"Yes, I do actually." Gail said. "I also know CPR…."

Jesse barely had her breath back.

"It will be that intense?" Jesse asked.

Gail remembered reviving Duplicate Jesse a few times.

"It will be like nothing YOU have experienced or even imagined before." Gail said.

Jesse wondered what it would have been like being with Gail if they were stuck in prehistoric times.

"I wish you could have been there when we were stuck in the jungle." Jesse said.

"Jungle?" Gail said. "Hold On."

Gail selected the next song and turned the volume all the way up.

"Welcome to the jungle." Gail said. "This will be my jungle - OUR jungle."

Jesse was taken to where she'd never been before, over and over.

'Welcome To The Jungle' by 'Guns N' Roses', shook the room.

It's Not The First Time

History repeats itself
It has often been said
If that is the case
The future we should tread

It is our destiny
Brought together by fate
For what is inevitable
We need not each other berate

We have each other
What more do we need
It is simply ineluctable
It is time we listen and heed

All is as it was
The natural order restored
The games are over
It is time we explored

We can exchange a loving touch
To share is not a crime
We've done this
It's not the first time

Nobody

We've Done This

You can't remember
It hasn't yet been done
I know I was there
I was the one

We both want it
It is more than fate
There is no need to wait
We are each other's mate

Time inevitably moves on
The closer we are every day
I am not the one held back
By what others might say

I feel your heart beating fast
Our love is meant to last
The future will bring
What has already past

We can share a loving kiss
Be overjoyed with bliss
It's not the first time
We've done this

Nobody
