Chapter 246

Let's Dance

Bob and John were on the way to Palmdale. They'd checked out the Reese brothers detail on the way there. Both Kyle and Derek asked for a 'hands off' approach for their younger selves. Cameron reluctantly agreed to that but there were still Terminators in the background 'just in case'. The brothers were to pursue their own lives and not even know about the Resistance unless Judgment Day happened or was about to happen.

John asked to take Sierra Highway via Soledad Canyon Road to Palmdale. On this route they paralleled the Santa Clara River and the old Southern Pacific railroad tracks. Metrolink ran most of the trains on that route now. They passed the spot near Lang where a 'golden spike' was driven in 1876 upon the completion of the line between Northern California and Los Angeles. This line of course included the famed Tehachapi Loop further to the north. Soledad Canyon Road reconnected to Sierra Highway and they took that the rest of the way to their destination.

Bob and John arrived in Palmdale. Bob did not push John too hard about what he planned to do. He felt John needed to make his own choices and live with the consequences. He was aware it was part of the future, a future anyway. Bob knew it was their duty to facilitate the 'Natural Order' in any way possible for Cameron.

They did not inform the protection detail they were going to visit. They wanted to check their proficiency. They wanted to see how quickly they would be detected and intercepted.

Bob exited the vehicle early a block away from the Young residence and advanced on foot. John drove alone. He went once around the block. Bob made it no closer than one house to the Young residence before he was intercepted by Dan of the protection detail. They were on their toes. Dan spoke briefly with Bob about some recent developments.

John pulled up and congratulated the detail for being so vigilant.

The detail operated on Cameron's rules. They tried to always shadow Young Allison. She'd extended that protection to Allison and Summer as well. She also saw Claire as a 'stand in' for any of her daughters if they failed to 'act'. Claire was still very young. She was very adept at domestic affairs. The homemaking skills she knew would need to be taught to the females and males that survived Judgment Day on how to do things the 'old school' way. She'd watched Claire make clothes. It impressed her more when she used her grandmother's treadle sewing machine. No electricity was required.

John wanted to check over the detail house but Bob quickly told him he would take care of it. He suggested that he attend to what they were here 'for'. He smiled at Bob and headed for the Young residence. He was here for something. He intended to collect on a long overdue desire of two people.

Holly answered the door. The smile evaporated from her face when she saw John. There could be only one thing he was here for. It was for her human lover.

They greeted each other.

Holly knew the rules even if she didn't like them.

"Come in, John." Holly said. "I'll find Allison."

Holly looked extremely distressed. She did not like what was about to happen. She knew what would happen next. She could not stand in the way of the 'Natural Order'. If she did, Cameron would deactivate her.

John heard someone approach from behind him.

"John?" Claire asked.

John turned to see a beautiful young woman. She looked a lot like Allison. That excited him somewhat.

"Yes. I'm pleased to see you again, Mrs. Young." John said.

Claire smiled and touched his cheek.

"Claire, please. I've heard so much about you. Cameron worships you. You are lucky to have her for your wife." Claire said.

John felt uncomfortable after that statement. He was not here for Cameron. He tried to keep it civil.

"Yeah, she's really unique." John said.

John wondered if Claire knew why he was here. He was here to make love to her daughter. He wondered how that was going to go over at this point. He actually liked what he saw in Claire. Her appearance, demeanor and attitude were very appealing to him. It was clear she did not carry the baggage of the future like the girls from the future did.

John and Claire checked each other out, while they tried not to. There was an instant attraction between them. It remained unspoken.

Claire decided in that moment that if Allison would not be at John's side, she would and be in his bed…. It was the least she could do for Cameron to help 'protect' John. She would do anything to get closer to Cameron.

Holly returned with Allison. She gave both of them an angry look. She looked very unhappy.

Everyone ignored her.

There was a lot of sexual tension that built up in a very short while.

"I look forward to being a grandmother at such a young age." Claire whispered in John's ear and then winked at him.

'She does KNOW.' John thought.

"I don't know…." John said.

'Or a mother again….' Claire thought.

"I do." Claire said. "I need to go check on Summer."

Claire departed after she gave him a final 'once over' look.

John wasn't sure what just happened. He was sure Claire and him both indicated they were willing to 'share' with each other. He hadn't come here with that thought on his mind but it was on his mind now. He went over her figure and looks again in his mind. He was more than willing to 'dance' with her.

Holly was with Allison who stood at her side.

"Hey, John." Allison said.

John shook his head to clear it. He needed to get Claire off his mind. He was here for someone else this time. He needed to refocus on Allison. The more he tried to do that the more he thought of Claire.

Holly moved in front of Allison. It was her natural instinct to 'protect' Allison.

"Hey, Allison." John said as he looked around Holly to see her.

Holly made no effort to move. She didn't want to.

Allison noticed and tried to defuse the situation.

"Holly, can you go to the store and pick up the things we need for Summer?" Allison asked. "I'm going to be 'busy' for awhile."

Holly did not respond.

Allison moved up and took her hand. She kissed her on the cheek.

"I know you understand…." Allison said. "It's what I want."

Holly glared at John and walked away. A vehicle could be heard starting in back and then it drove off.

Allison took John's hand.

John looked around and followed her. He hoped Holly would have stayed, maybe NEXT time. John took a quick glance at where Claire was earlier. He thought how Hot a 'mother and daughter' fling would be with Claire and Allison. They were both young and beautiful. He could feel his body start to respond to that thought.

Man, did he want that right now.

Wait.

He was here for Allison. His hormones were out of control.

Allison moved up to John. It was clear she was on board for what was about to happen. She took the lead.

"John, are you ready for 'this'?" Allison asked.

John swallowed hard. He looked at Allison. He did sneak a look at where Claire went though.

"I think I am." John said. "No, not think, I am. I want this, Allison. I want it to be with you."

Allison wondered 'who else' was there. Did he just refer to her mother or something? She was the one standing there now not her mother or Holly.

"It's about time." Allison said. "I'm not getting any younger."

There sexual tension in the air was thick. John tried to lighten the mood.

"You will always be Young, at least until you are married." John joked.

Allison giggled. She was very playful and seductive. She turned him on.

Allison took him by the hand and led him to her room….

This is the Allison John fell in love with. The girl he met on his first day in school so long ago. Allison was the ONE for him. John knew it. It was always Allison that John loved and wanted. Now it was happening….

Earlier:

Cameron entered Vanna's room.

Cameron did not know why she was there. She just wanted to be. Cameron wanted more than what she currently was dealing with. This was an opportunity to 'explore'. It wasn't like it was with another male or something. It would be just a couple of loving friends sharing. It really didn't seem like a big deal to her.

Vanna was listening to music.

Cameron was unsure what to do next. She wanted to take Vanna in her arms and kiss her, touch her and hold her….

Vanna moved closer to Cameron. She waited for Cameron to make a move. She would respond instantly if she did. She decided Cameron MUST make the first move. If Cameron didn't do that, it meant she wasn't ready. She was not going to push her or make her…. She wanted this to be pure sweet love and not lust or greed.

Cameron seemed nervous. She wanted some guidance.

Vanna sensed Cameron's uneasiness. She could tell Cameron started to have 'second thoughts'.

Cameron did have second thoughts. She just heard John walk by and stop. He listen to them and then moved on. He hadn't gone into Jesse's room after all. He blinked, she thought. Now she was about to blink. She wanted to be with Vanna, Allison and Jesse. It was something she wanted to do. Isabel–Cameron was with them before her deactivation. In a way she'd already done this before even though it was not actually her or even her chassis. It was all on the drive. She considered asking Vanna for it back and downloading the information instead. Maybe it would be simpler and less stressful.

Vanna was afraid Cameron would bolt'. She tried to think fast.

"Sit." Vanna said. "We can talk first. There is no hurry for anything here. What is natural will happen naturally."

Cameron sat and Vanna sat next to her as she faced her. She was ready to respond at Cameron's slightest overture.

Vanna still waited for Cameron to make the first move. Now Vanna thought she would have to move first to prevent Cameron from 'running'. If Cameron left now it was never going to happen.

Cameron faced her as well. She looked so 'innocent' to Vanna. That increased her excitement level. She remembered Allison looked much the same way the night she 'took' her. Allison used to watch her with other females from the shadows. One night Allison was there herself. It was very much like what she experienced with Cameron right now. She wanted to play but was unsure how to start.

Allison wasn't the only one she 'took'. There were others too. She'd provided a 'first female' experience to dozens of females over the years of all age ranges from teens to more mature females. Some were hesitant at first to be with another female. Once she began to soothe them and comfort them they became more receptive. Once she pleasured them they became addicted. For most of them this was the first time they finished with someone other than themselves. It really meant something to them.

Vanna saw Cameron's beauty. Cameron was Tight as always, hotter than hot. It was a dream come true. She remembered the times she pretended Allison was 'Cameron'. She'd done it many times. The more she did it, the more Allison was 'Cameron'. Jesse confessed she'd done it also. Jesse felt bad about it, she did not. In fact she could not even remember when the last time Allison was 'Allison' and not 'Cameron' to her. It was a long, long time ago….

"Vanna, I want to be here with YOU. That's why I'm here. I wouldn't be here unless I wanted to do this with you. I'm so confused now. I thought I loved John but I don't know anymore. I think that..., I think I love him but really don't."

Vanna wanted Cameron with a clear mind. The confusion bothered her.

"Do you love me?" Vanna asked.

Cameron gave a faint smile.

"I do." Cameron said. "I think I do."

That was not really the answer that Vanna wanted to hear. Cameron should feel it in her heart and her mind. They were really the same place on Cameron as they were on anyone. It was all in the mind.

"You're unsure of what you want?" Vanna asked.

"Yes, I'm unsure about everything, Vanna - EVERYTHING." Cameron said.

Vanna looked hurt.

Cameron took her hand. Vanna smiled. She wanted to be honest.

"I know I feel things, Vanna. I don't know if they are 'real'. I don't even think I'm real. I'm not a real person." Cameron said. "Vanna, I'm a machine. I want to make sure you remember that. I'm not a human female and I can never be one. My responses will always lack that human touch."

Vanna felt they'd just hit a 'dead end'. It sure seemed like it anyway. She would do what Cameron wanted.

"What do you want?" Vanna asked.

Cameron wanted to be someone else. She wanted to be someone different. She wanted a clean slate and a fresh start.

"I want to be reprogrammed." Cameron said. "I want to start over."

Cameron looked at Vanna with her big brown puppy dog eyes. She was dead serious.

Vanna let out her breath slowly. She 'wanted' Cameron but she wanted to help her more. That is what a true friend would do.

"Cameron, we all want that, that is not how life works. We take our beatings and keep moving forward. Stop reliving the past or trying to change it. This is about NOW and the future, not yesterday."

Cameron felt her whole life was like that. Nothing ever changed the way she wanted it to. Each day was the same as the last.

"Tomorrow IS yesterday." Cameron said. "For me that is how they all play out."

Vanna wanted Cameron to break the cycle. If she focused on this moment in time she could do it.

"Let this be about right 'now' and us…." Vanna said.

Vanna knew it was time to 'take' Cameron, just as she'd 'taken' Allison so many years ago….

'Let's Dance' by 'Chris Montez', played as Vanna – advanced….

Tomorrow Is Yesterday

Each new day always comes
Will it be like the day before
We are all along for the ride
Will it be the same or offer more

We go through each hour
As part of the daily grind
Like the blind leading the blind
We hope something better we will find

It soon becomes clear
The future is the past
Each new day that arrives
Is no different than the last

The invisible wall of life
Holds us where we are
There is no way forward
Any direction does not go far

Tomorrow is yesterday
They are all cliché
We can't escape or runaway
We are here to forever stay

Nobody
