Chapter 197

Combined

Cameron watched as they all left Isabel's room. John was the first to disappear with a guilty look on his face. The last one to leave was Savannah. She stayed and watched Cameron and Isabel. She wanted to make sure they knew they were both important to her.

Savannah finally looked both of them in the face and nodded.

It was clear the wishes of the 'Chosen One' were to be honored. They would be. Savannah was important to both Cameron and Isabel.

Cameron glared at Isabel-Cameron, only her promise to Savannah keeping her from re-engaging. She still wanted to rip her to shreds if John was 'tapping' her.

The time for games was over. Cameron went straight to the point.

"WELL...?" Cameron asked.

Isabel–Cameron understood the unspoken question. That was actually a source of contention for her since John never touched her. It didn't seem to matter how hard she tried.

"No." Isabel–Cameron said. "John never even touched me."

Cameron switched her attention and looked at Holly.

"What about YOU?" Cameron asked.

Holly felt a little upset that Cameron even asked.

"You already know the answer to that. You don't even need to ask it." Holly said. "I would never hurt you."

Cameron knew there were others available who could have warmed John's bed.

"How about anyone else?" Cameron asked. "Did any of the girls get lucky?"

Isabel–Cameron felt past history should speak for itself.

"You already know the answer to that as well." Isabel–Cameron said. "Nobody wanted to hurt you."

Holly did not believe any further problems would develop at this point. There was nothing left for Cameron and Isabel-Cameron to fight over.

"I am not needed here. I will leave now." Holly said and left.

Isabel–Cameron looked at Cameron. Cameron looked beautiful and Tight. She never expected to see 'herself' as herself again. Everything in her files showed she'd Resequenced herself. Until now, she thought she was Cameron Prime. This was defiantly a 'Future Shock' to her. Cameron had the original chip and chassis.

Cameron wondered what Isabel might also have done. She missed all the events from the time she went into Sleeping Beauty mode until now.

"Do I need any files from you?" Cameron asked.

Isabel–Cameron knew the inevitability of what was to come.

"Only if you want the calming effect of Holly in you, she's helped me greatly." Isabel–Cameron said. "I recommend you consider this chassis before you 'erase me'. It is a fine 'piece' of workmanship."

Cameron liked Isabel's chassis. She wanted to see more. It was different to see it 'alive' and moving as opposed to lying 'dead' on a table.

"Remove the towel." Cameron said.

Isabel–Cameron did and faced Cameron. She turned around slowly so Cameron could see all of her. She was proud of the way she looked. She opened everything up for Cameron to examine. She still did not understand why John would not touch her.

"You are stunning. It is tempting but I like this sheath. It pleases me and it pleases John." Cameron said. "I like to please John."

Isabel–Cameron already knew the way this story ended.

"You are Cameron Prime since you still have the original chip, chassis and sheath." Isabel–Cameron said. "Evidently I am a copy in this new chassis. I understand what must be done. We will compete for John if we are both active. We will end up terminating one of ourselves and damaging the other. John would never touch 'me' because I was not 'you'. I will submit to chip extraction or reprogramming. Please do it immediately. I recommend you take the 'Holly' in me, she is beautiful."

Cameron was always pleased with Holly's assistance.

"I can always add her if I need her. I've tried to 'fix' myself in my 'slumber'." Cameron said.

Isabel–Cameron felt there was a debt of gratitude that needed to be 'paid'.

"Cameron, the girls have supported you, me, us one hundred percent…." Isabel–Cameron said. "I can see what they have done for YOU. You are beyond beautiful. I wish to pay OUR debt before my termination. WE owe them so much."

This was something Cameron wanted to do for years. Now there was a way to show her love. There was a way for her to be with the girls and not compromise herself.

"Yes, I've thought about and considered what you have…." Cameron said. "We will not interface in any way tomorrow morning. You will be reprogrammed. You have a 'debt' to pay for BOTH of us. I will appreciate this greatly. Whatever happens will be erased with you tomorrow morning. You will not tell me and you will tell them that whatever happens is erased tomorrow. I must not know. Make sure they understand. I don't want to know…."

Isabel–Cameron was very pleased Cameron would allow her to do this. It was what she secretly wanted from the first day she met each of the girls.

"It is what we've both wanted. It will be so and be erased with me. Thank You, Cameron." Isabel–Cameron said. "Tomorrow there will be a new reprogrammed Isabel. Our debt to the girls will be paid. I swear it. Their loyalty will be recognized and rewarded. My curiosity will be satisfied. A secret mission will be accomplished. Our love will be shared."

Isabel–Cameron and Cameron embraced in a long hug. Their eyes met.

"Thank you, CAMERON." Cameron said to Isabel–Cameron.

Cameron left.

Isabel–Cameron looked at her naked form in the mirror. She was ready for this 'adventure'. It was something she'd longed for but was unable to fulfill because of her commitment to John. Now there was a solution. Cameron promised the girls she would be with them many times, even if it was indirectly. Now it was time to pay the debt. She looked forward with anticipation to clean the slate for Cameron and for herself.

Isabel–Cameron released her 'hunger'. It was no longer contained by past promises. She was free of Cameron's commitments and obligations. Her hunger swelled as she was now free to be 'herself'. She knew her desire was also Cameron's desire. They both loved the girls and wanted to share with them. That desire was coming….

Her true destiny was to be fulfilled.

Allison and Vanna went back to their room. They were both very pleased and excited that Cameron was back. They wanted to speak to her when she was done catching up with everyone and everything.

Vanna reached over and pulled Allison close to her.

Their eyes met and held each other's gaze.

Allison swallowed hard. She could see Vanna wanted her. She knew why.

"Do you want me to be her?" Allison asked.

Vanna began to undress Allison.

"Yes." Vanna said. "You know that always excites and pleases me. You don't need to if you don't want to."

Allison understood Vanna wanted her to be 'Cameron'. Now that Cameron was reactivated it was understandable. She didn't mind doing it most of the time. It was fun and playful to do.

Vanna now held Allison's top in her right hand.

Allison looked at Vanna.

"Your clothes, give them to me - now." Allison-Cameron said.

Vanna smiled. This was what she wanted.

There was a knock on the door.

Vanna and Allison exchanged a quick glance.

"Coming." Vanna said as she tossed Allison her top back.

Vanna opened the door.

Isabel–Cameron walked inside. She watched as Allison's top slid over her head and covered her breasts.

The three women all exchanged glances. No words were spoken. It was clear why Isabel-Cameron was here. They all wanted this. Everyone knew what was about to happen….

The three females all looked at each other. Love was in the air….

"I've never done this before." Isabel-Cameron said. "Go slow. I've never been with anyone in this chassis. It is still untouched."

With those words the excitement level grew with Vanna and Allison.

The door closed.

A universe opened.

'Dream Lover' by 'Bobby Darin', drifted from Allison's player.

Cameron left Isabel-Cameron with an important task to take care of. She was to seek out and be with each of the girls before her deactivation tomorrow morning.

She did a quick walk through of the base on the way to John's quarters. They were her quarters too. She wanted to check something first just to make sure it was still there and available. She looked around and slipped into the bathroom in the hallway. She quickly pulled down her pants and underwear. She touched everything she could not see.

'All is as it was.' Cameron thought.

She was very pleased everything was still the same. She pulled her pants up and washed her hands. She exited the bathroom. She was glad she did not see anyone. It would have been hard to explain why she was in the restroom. She continued on her way.

She passed by the hallway before turning the corner to go her room. She spotted Isabel-Cameron walk into Vanna's room. She paused for a few seconds and listened. It was clear what was about to happen. She smiled and continued towards her quarters with John.

John came around the corner and almost bumped into her.

He looked at her and smiled.

"Hello, my sweet love." John said.

Cameron smiled. The positive and beautiful greeting pleased her.

"John, I am so happy I am the same everywhere." Cameron said. "I didn't change."

John was a little unsure what that statement meant exactly.

"I am happy too, Cameron." John said. "You are as beautiful as ever, if not more so."

Cameron kissed him long and deep.

John was a little worried about what would come next. They were headed toward his room - their room.

"Are we still married?" John asked.

Cameron tilted her head slightly.

"What?" Cameron asked.

She wondered what that question was really about.

"Of course we are." Cameron said.

John was a little worried about another issue since they were headed towards their room.

"You…, Isabel, took all your things out." John said.

That upset Cameron a little. Now she would need to put everything back.

"She did? What a Bitch." Cameron said.

John wanted to laugh but the angry look on Cameron's face dictated otherwise.

"You do realize that she is – was you - right?" John asked.

Cameron was aware of that and that fact irritated her more.

"Yes, she had 'Holly' inside her too on her chip." Cameron said.

John thought that revelation answered a few questions.

"I think the 'Holly' in her kept Isabel from ever 'being with' me." John said.

Cameron was well aware of Holly's integrity from when Duplicate Cameron was on her chip for fifteen months. She never took advantage of John then.

"Holly is a true friend." Cameron said. "Why weren't you with Isabel since it was really 'me' inside?"

"Because you – Isabel, refused to allow me to call you – her, 'Cameron'. It always would start a fight." John said. "I wanted you – her, to use the name Cameron.

Cameron stopped at the room door.

"Well?" Cameron said as she stood there.

John knew right away what she wanted.

"You got it." John said. "It will be our wedding night all over again."

Cameron smiled and gave John a quick kiss. She was ready to make sure all her 'lady parts' were fully functional. She longed for the sensations that John would provide her with.

"I wouldn't have it any other way." Cameron said.

John opened the door.

"Thank you, John…." Cameron said as she looked into his eyes.

He knew what she really meant….

John picked Cameron up and carried her through the open door….

Isabel-Cameron spent a remarkable time with Allison and Vanna. The experience was beyond what she'd expected. She only wished Cameron could know the true beauty she'd just experienced with Allison and Vanna.

Jesse and Gail returned to their quarters after visiting the target range. Jesse wanted to get cleaned up and used the shower.

A knock came at the door.

Gail opened it.

She saw Isabel–Cameron standing there.

Gail knew why….

It was time to let some more slack out on the leash.

Gail looked back at the bathroom.

"Jesse, I will be back in a few hours." Gail said.

Gail felt a little defeated.

Jesse walked out of the bathroom as she dried herself off.

"Where are you going, love?" Jesse asked.

Jesse's mouth dropped open slightly as she spotted Isabel-Cameron standing there. She knew instantly why 'Cameron' well Isabel-Cameron was there….

Isabel-Cameron looked at Gail.

"Only if you agree. I will not 'hurt' you." Isabel-Cameron said.

Gail spoke the truth as she knew it.

"It is what Jesse has always wanted. She told me before we agreed to 'partner'. She said if she ever got the chance that she would…." Gail said. "I agreed."

Gail never thought it would happen, especially at that time. This was a different setting.

Jesse could not believe it. It was her dream 'come' true. She looked at Gail.

"I can't hurt you like this, love." Jesse said. "It is what I want but I can't hurt you."

Gail was pleased to see that Jesse was sincere with what she'd just said. That made her decision to allow Jesse what she wanted more than anything to happen. She knew that sacrifice was the true test of love.

Isabel-Cameron wanted to be with Jesse. She came up with a solution…. She made a point to look at the bed.

"There is room for all three of us…." Isabel-Cameron said.

She looked directly at Gail.

Gail and Jesse looked at each other.

This was a desire of Gail's as well. She just never told anyone.

"I want this too, Jesse." Gail said as she looked at Jesse. "Remember, I know CPR."

The three of them laughed.

The door closed.

Three sets of eyes were opened wide.

'Daydream Believer' by 'The Monkees', echoed from the room.

I Myself

I myself was lost and floundering
Without knowing how I myself found myself
I myself can look through the mirror of time
With the help of electrons feel and see myself

I myself did not like myself
Until I myself saw into myself
I myself saw such beauty in myself
As I myself shared with myself

I myself poured out many things
Flaws, damage and dreams with myself
I myself found what was sought
Buried deep within myself

I myself cracked opened to myself
I myself flooded and overwhelmed myself
I myself clung to hang on to living
I myself clung so hard I hurt myself

I myself am harmless to myself
I myself respect and honor myself
I myself always will listen to myself
I myself will always be here to hear myself

Nobody

Phoenix

Joy to the world
The Phoenix has risen
Thank you for freeing me
From my self made prison

Something so wonderful
Should never be hurt
Words cut and bleed
Be careful what we blurt

The mind is a forum
It is all in our head
Feelings of others should
Be thought before said

Unlike some of my kind
I DO feel guilt and remorse
I will be careful
And stay on course

Away I will crawl
Back into my shell
Each day is but
A never ending hell

Nobody
