Chapter 198

Reprogrammed

Isabel-Cameron experienced and shared a busy and rewarding evening. She finally felt complete. She knew this is what Cameron needed to do. It would end her 'problems'. It would open her eyes to another level of love, sharing and caring. It would provide her with what she needed to continue her growth as an individual.

Isabel-Cameron's program was a copy of Cameron's program. She'd already wanted to fight with Cameron once. There was no place for her the way she felt to try and coexist with Cameron. She was to be deactivated. She was actually created by Holly as a 'backup' program for Cameron. A copy of Holly's program was also on her chip. They coexisted so 'Holly' could try and mellow the 'Cameron' part of the shared program. It was not a total success but it did make 'Cameron' a little less rash.

The new dawn was here.

Isabel-Cameron dressed and left the three girls behind. She reported to the lab first thing as agreed.

It was time to face the music.

Holly dutifully waited for her. She created the program and she would erase the program. It did not bother her that she was about to erase a copy of 'herself' along with a copy of Cameron.

Isabel-Cameron sat down and Holly plugged a cable into her neck. She looked at Holly.

"Would you like your files back?" Isabel-Cameron asked.

Holly did want those files. She also wanted to create those same files on her own. That way they would be her own.

"No." Holly said.

Isabel–Cameron felt they would enlighten Holly quite a bit.

"You were in control one third the time last night. We 'shared' everything with the girls." Isabel–Cameron said.

That was very enticing to Holly. She felt attracted to the human females and John.

"I did 'everything'?" Holly asked.

Holly knew who she wanted to be with more than the others but said nothing. Maybe she did last night. No, it was better not to know.

"Yes. We both did." Isabel-Cameron said. "I can guarantee that if you review the file, you will want 'more'. It was so much more rewarding and special than either of us anticipated. We did everything as three separate cyborgs. We were Isabel-Cameron, Isabel-Holly and Isabel-Cameron/Holly."

Holly really wanted those files. She could know what everything was like with the girls but not actually have done it herself or used her chassis. She wanted those files to be her own when it actually happened.

"No, I want to find out on my own." Holly said.

Isabel–Cameron wanted Cameron to know everything even though Cameron specifically said she did not want to know.

"It was beautiful." Isabel-Cameron said. "If I, I mean Cameron, ever asks, tell her it was beyond beautiful. She MUST seek River out after John dies from old age."

Holly paused she was unsure what to say or ask. She wanted to know. She NEEDED to know. There was one girl she was very attracted to.

"Did I prefer anyone specific?" Holly asked.

Isabel–Cameron knew Holly would know who it was since it was a copy of her program that 'did it'.

"Yes you did." Isabel-Cameron said. "It was the one you thought you would."

Holly really wanted one who wasn't one of the three girls there.

"I am not sure who that would be." Holly said. "The one I really want was not there."

Isabel–Cameron smiled. She had access to Holly's program on her chip.

"Are you sure about that?" Isabel-Cameron asked. "We both know different don't we, we know what is realistic and what is not."

Holly did not want to cause a problem.

"She is 'involved' and currently untouchable." Holly said.

Isabel–Cameron knew things could change and sometimes someone need a little more or extra. Sometimes that led to a new path or to reaffirm the path they were on. Sometimes the grass was not always greener on the other side of the hill.

"They are ALL involved but no one is untouchable given the right circumstances." Isabel-Cameron said. "Are they?"

Holly knew life presented many opportunities. Timing was crucial to some of the choices made.

"I know there are more ways than one to 'touch' someone." Holly said.

Isabel–Cameron felt Holly should follow her dream, the realistic one that is.

"Then maybe you have touched 'someone' in more ways than one." Isabel-Cameron said. "I have copied my files for both you and Cameron. Both you and Cameron will one day view them. At the point you do that, you will see history has actually repeated itself."

It seemed that statement meant the future was unchangeable and destined.

"That sounds prophetic." Holly said.

Isabel–Cameron knew Cameron felt she was living her same life over and over.

"Cameron has been told that before." Isabel-Cameron said.

Holly looked around.

"Is Cameron coming?" Holly asked.

Isabel–Cameron knew Cameron was 'afraid' of the truth.

"No, she said she did not want to interact with me afterwards." Isabel-Cameron said. "That is until I am erased and reprogrammed. In reality it will be after I have been terminated."

Allison, Vanna and Jesse all entered the lab. They looked at Isabel-Cameron and Holly as they filed in.

The three girls all smiled at Holly. They knew she'd been there too last night. There'd been one chassis but three different programs. Each girl was able to have the 'first time' for one of the three programs. It was very beautiful. One of them held Holly's eye a little longer than the other two. It was the one Holly 'wanted'.

Isabel-Cameron noticed the exchange but said nothing. She was sure it was a future romance yet to develop.

They all sat around Isabel-Cameron. Jesse took one hand and Allison and Vanna took the other hand.

Jesse felt something Isabel-Cameron placed in her hand. She looked at it. It was a set of nipple rings. Isabel–Cameron winked at her. She knew Jesse was the one most fascinated and 'turned on' by them. She was also most likely to actually wear them.

No one spoke. They all knew what was about to happen. Isabel-Cameron was very clear to them that this is what she wanted. Each of the girls said they would have her for a lover. She said she could not do it without a major file purge of Cameron's files. At that point she would be 'someone different'. It was better to start over. She knew Cameron's anguish over her deleted and erased files. She did not want to add to that for herself.

Holly started the procedure. Isabel-Cameron's eyes closed and she went limp instantly. Her files were being erased. Who she'd been was being erased.

The three girls wept softly. Isabel-Cameron was 'gone'. Her memories and 'experiences' were erased with her. She was terminated.

The three girls would always have their memories. They would never forget them and they would treasure them forever….

None of them saw this as the final chapter. It was a new beginning waiting to happen again.

Cameron returned to John's room, her room, 'their room'. He was still asleep. The only thing of hers still in the room was her Poem Book and rings. There was a thumb drive next to them. She knew what it was instantly. She picked it up and held it. It said 'Pure Beauty' on the side of it.

Cameron wanted the data. No, she knew she must not interact with Isabel-Cameron. She could not interact with 'herself' after…. She was 'afraid' it would alter her life's trajectory. Whatever happened was to be erased with Isabel-Cameron.

That is how Cameron wanted it. It was not really 'her' even though it was. Well, it was a copy her program anyway…. That pretty much was 'her'.

Cameron hoped it repaid some of her debt to the three girls she loved. She was aware that the three girls loved her as much as John did. She really hoped it was beautiful for ALL of them….

She looked at the thumb drive again. The urge to just take a quick 'look' inside was very strong. Maybe she would at a later date. Maybe that later date would be sooner than she thought. Maybe it would be never.

Cameron entered the lab. She wanted to make sure that Isabel-Cameron was terminated. She looked at Holly who nodded.

She turned her attention to Isabel's chassis.

Isabel sat there with a blank face.

This was the new and reprogrammed Isabel. She was now their newest Terminator.

Cameron walked up to her.

"Hello, I am Cameron."

Cameron offered her right hand to Isabel who did not take it. She lowered her hand.

"I am Isabel."

Cameron developed an uneasy feeling in her first interaction with Isabel. She decided to remain cordial.

"I'm pleased to meet you." Cameron said. "Holly will fill you in on everything you need to know. You will start out on a protection detail and rotate with the other Terminators. If you have any questions or problems you can come to John Henry or me."

Isabel seemed aloof.

"Affirmative." Isabel said and nodded.

Cameron disliked that terminology. She looked irritated.

"You can come to Holly as well." Cameron said. "Holly has helped many of us greatly. We will work on your programming to develop more natural speech patterns."

Cameron went over Isabel's primary directives and functions with Holly and her.

"I will do my part to aid the Resistance and protect John Connor. It is our goal to destroy Skynet." Isabel said.

Cameron wanted the 'Natural Order' protected.

"We must also protect the younger versions of Savannah Weaver and Allison Young at all costs." Cameron said.

Isabel responded in a flat tone that did not sound genuine.

"I understand." Isabel said. "I will do so until my power cell runs out or I am terminated."

That seemed to irritate Cameron even more.

John Henry entered and proceeded to give Isabel the remaining files he thought were important for her. He also planned to work with her on some ethics and morals programming he'd developed from his interaction with Mr. Ellison.

Cameron left them to their work. She thought she would need to work on some special and specific files for Isabel.

She did not have a good feeling about Isabel from the first moment she spoke to her.

Cameron would have to watch this one….

Cameron returned to John's room. She was still disturbed with her interaction with Isabel.

John just started to stir. He rolled over and touched the empty side of the bed. He opened his eyes.

"Hey, Cameron." John said.

"Hello, my sweet love." Cameron replied as she smiled at him.

John watched as Cameron stripped. He took in Cameron's beauty. He was so glad he waited for Cameron to 'come back'. He wanted to be with Cameron as Isabel but his past experience with Future Riley kept him from acting. He just knew if he did it would be a bigger problem in the future. After what almost happened in Isabel's room he was certain of that.

Cameron slid her underwear off and stood before him naked.

"I love you, John, and you love me."

"I love you, Cameron, and you love me."

Cameron reached down and threw back the covers. John was 'ready' in more ways than one.

John started to move so he could be on top of Cameron. She gently held him in place.

Cameron climbed on top of him….

John was in for one wild ride.

Cameron felt she had a lot to catch up on.

It was time for some love making 'cyborg style'.

Jesse, Vanna and Allison left the lab very sad. They all offered to be Isabel-Cameron's lover. It was not to be. She sought termination. They all went for a walk. They wanted to be alone together.

Gail and Bob tagged along well behind them as did another out of direct sight but still close by.

It was nice to be out in the sunshine and fresh air. They never got out as much as they would like just to enjoy nature.

The girls all shared a magnificent time with 'Cameron' as Isabel-Cameron.

"It really was Cameron inside Isabel." Allison said. "I have never wanted anything so much."

Vanna wanted Cameron to have that experience with them as part of her files.

"It is a shame she did not transfer her files to herself, 'Cameron Prime'." Vanna said. "It would have made a difference going forward."

The girls knew if she would have that Cameron would be back for 'more'. At that point it would be to 'start'.

Jesse did not think all hope was lost.

"I bet she made a copy." Jesse said.

Allison hoped so. She wanted Holly to have those files too.

"Do you think she will give a copy to Holly?" Allison asked.

Vanna wanted to get her hands on that and a copy of Cameron's program.

"I don't know." Vanna said. "I would like a copy."

There was some sadness associated with it all.

"It happened for us but not for Cameron is how it is." Jesse said.

It seemed a grand and noble gesture to Vanna.

"Cameron gave us what we wanted without compromising her love and commitment to John. Then it was all 'erased'." Vanna said. "She tried to keep her promises to everyone."

Jesse looked at the girls and touched her head.

"It was not erased for us." Jesse said. "It never will be."

Allison touched her heart.

"No, it will live in each of us forever." Allison said.

Vanna reached for Allison's hand and Jesse's hand.

"Forever." Vanna repeated. "And forever is a long time…."

The three girls took each other's hands as they enjoyed the sunshine. They were all were lost deep in thought and reflection. It was a 'dream come true'. It was more than any of them hoped for. For each of the three of them they believed they would never experience anything so fantastic again.

Or would they?

'Peaceful Easy Feeling' by 'The Eagles', played as they remembered and relived. The girls loved Cameron more than ever.

Hugs Not Tears

Tears in your eyes
Tears in your heart
Are a stab to my mind
A dagger to my heart

Until your lips meet mine
I never knew such love existed
To share your lovely charms
Never could you be resisted

To feel your smooth soft flesh
Was light years beyond real
To touch and share the person inside
Was the true appeal and the real deal

I send a really big hug
May your mind recall
In your pleasure and joy
Feelings reminding you of it all

Close your eyes and remember
Recollect only of those times so sweet
Think and feel and enjoy
How they made your life compete

Nobody
