Chapter 1192
I Am Part Of You
Sheila, Ally and Hanna watched the Rockabilly Trio play again for the full half hour. The three of them were confident they could play any tune in rockabilly style. They looked forward to trying later on after most of the people were asleep.
Ally would glance over at Sheila periodically. Twice she saw a tear in Sheila's eye she tried to secretly wipe away before it ran down her cheek. She felt she should say something to her. She really didn't know what to say. She was pretty sure anything she said would only make things worse.
It was clear to Ally that Sheila was very upset about what Cameron wanted to do. She decided she would volunteer instead. It would buy Sheila at least one more night before her chassis was defiled. She didn't blame John, she blamed Cameron. Those thoughts all occurred in a millisecond.
Hanna noticed Sheila secretly wiped away a few tears that formed in her eyes before anyone spotted them. She was aware why. She didn't look forward to the night she would need to be in John's bed with Cameron's chip in her chassis. She decided she would go first and get it over with. She didn't like to see Sheila hurt this way. It would give Sheila one more night before her chassis was violated. She wanted to blame John for what would happen. She knew it wasn't his fault. She didn't blame John, she blamed Cameron.
She possessed many of the 'memories' of what Vanna suffered being violated at such an early age and how it was done. She thought Sheila must be reliving the ones Jesse experienced as she grew up. Jesse's early years were almost as vile as Vanna's. Those thoughts all happened in a millisecond.
As far as the Rockabilly Trio went, she was ready to step up and give it a try. She hoped it would take their minds off of the inevitable.
They were all at the mercy of Cameron backed up by CamNet.
CamNet was everywhere. She was more powerful than John Henry at this point. Hanna knew of CamNet's virtual 'assault' on Young Allison. Savannah stepped in and put an end to it. It made her wonder as to what the cost to Savannah was. Savannah would protect Young Allison from everyone she could.
Nobody was there to protect them.
Cameron watched the musical performance by the Rockabilly Trio with John. They hadn't danced any for the first half of the performance. She'd hoped John would ask her but he never did. Once the second set started she indicated what she wanted to do. He was reluctant to go out but did because she wanted him too. She danced a few songs with John. She saw Sarah and Kyle dance as well under similar conditions. She smiled at the female influence. She wasn't really sure why females seemed to like to dance more than males did.
She thought maybe it was one way for females to experience closeness to a male partner in a non invasive semi sexual way. It was clear to her that males would rather experience the same closeness with a female, with their naked body on top of the female's naked body as they engaged in a sex act. The male was more than willing to do his business and not think of the consequences the female could face because of his two minute act of greed and selfishness.
Jim contacted Cameron through her com. She was contacted by Young Allison. It was a call that was unexpected. Jim told her it wasn't an emergency or even urgent. For her to be contacted by Young Allison was unusual in this setting. It was late on top of it. It must be important.
She wondered what must have gone wrong somewhere. She would have expected Savannah to call her first. Because it wasn't Savannah who called, maybe something happened to Savannah. She didn't know. She needed to find out. She immediately stopped dancing. She didn't want to spoil the festive mood for John.
"Dance with one of the girls, John." Cameron said.
Cameron statement caught John off guard. He was more than a little confused at the sudden change. He noticed Cameron's demeanor was different now as well. He cut straight to the chase.
"Is there a problem?" John asked.
Cameron didn't want John concerned. It might be something private or personal as well.
"I need to check on a call." Cameron said. "There's nothing wrong."
John strongly doubted there wasn't something wrong somewhere.
Cameron led John over to Sheila, Ally and Hanna.
She looked at John.
"Pick one." Cameron said.
Ally and Hanna both stood up at the same time. Sheila remained seated.
Ally and Hanna looked at each other and realized they were both thinking the same thing.
Cameron watched what Ally and Hanna just did and understood.
John looked at Sheila. She looked up at him. She stood and faced him.
Sheila knew she was the 'chosen one' in a different way. John chose her. It made her special.
She looked at Ally and Hanna. She smiled at them and nodded. She understood her friends were willing to stand up and take her place. She realized it was exactly what they'd just done, literally. She wanted to express her appreciation and let them know everything was under control.
"Thank you. You two dance with each other." Sheila said to Ally and Hanna. "I have this."
Sheila took John's hand and led him to the dance floor. She looked back at Ally and Hanna and silently thanked them again.
Cameron watched everything from the doorway before she went out. She saw Gail start to move up to reinforce her but she waved her off. Holly was still down the central walkway by the shops and restaurants.
She headed outside onto the open deck. She hoped it would give her a little more privacy.
Cammy headed straight to Savannah's room. She hoped to catch them before Cam started in on Savannah again. If Cam was in the process of pleasing Savannah, she wouldn't interrupt them. She wanted Savannah to have all the love and pleasure they could bestow on her. They tried to make up for all the sacrifice Savannah needed to endure as Cameron ran her around non stop.
She felt somehow she should have more control over what happened with Savannah. She didn't. Cameron was the one who controlled everything related to Savannah. She often wasn't allowed to go on any operations with Cameron and Savannah. She really didn't see why she couldn't go. She thought Savannah would say something to Cameron about it. It didn't seem to be the case. Maybe she did say something and Cameron ignored her. The more she thought about it, the more likely she thought it was probably the way things played out.
Cammy reached the door and listened.
Savannah was recovering some from Cam pleasuring her. It had been a very long and intense session.
Cam was ready to start in again on Savannah once she was fully 'recovered'. She wasn't really sure Savannah was ready. She didn't want to overdo it and take Savannah to the edge. She knew Jesse liked to go that far. Sometimes it seemed a little too far. Savannah's condition was a little more delicate because she now carried Vanna's baby. She wanted to see what Savannah wanted without actually asking directly.
"Are you getting sleepy?" Cam asked.
Savannah did feel tired. Maybe she felt spent.
"A little bit." Savannah said. "I think I need to get up early tomorrow."
Cam didn't think Savannah needed to go to Ensenada to see the others off. If she did, Cameron would probably try to put the grab on her. She thought it was a bad idea for that reason alone. She wasn't sure she wanted to express her feelings in such a direct manner. She would try a more subtle and diplomatic approach.
"Cammy or I can go with Jesse, Claire and the girls." Cam said. "You can get some rest. You've earned it."
Cam didn't like how Cameron drug Savannah around anymore than Cammy did. There were plenty of Terminators who could have gone in Savannah's place on all of those operations. Wait, things might have played out differently if that were the case on some of the occasions. There were several operations where Cameron and even some of the other Terminators were incapacitated. Savannah was the one who stayed in the fight and kept the others safe. She still didn't agree with the way things happened.
Savannah wanted to put the team first. She needed to do her part. She wanted to do her part and help protect the others.
"Maybe all three of us need to go." Savannah said. "I want to make sure they're protected."
Cam wondered how far Savannah would take it.
"Do you still want to be in every port Cameron visits?" Cam asked.
It seemed like there was a lot Savannah needed to do. She was going to be spread pretty thin since there were several things she needed to do.
"It was a thought." Savannah said. "I need to visit CamNet and Young Allison too."
It slipped out from Cam before she knew it. It was what she believed but she didn't intend to actually say it
"You need to take it easy for a few days without Cameron here to run you around." Cam said.
Savannah didn't think the others understood. Everything she did with or for Cameron was her choice. It included fighting battles or staying behind to be with Cameron in a 'terminal situation'. She would do everyone of them again too. They were all things that needed to be done and they were all the right choice. She wanted to make it clear.
"I follow Cameron by choice." Savannah said.
Savannah loved Cameron.
Cam thought Savannah looked troubled.
"Is something wrong?" Cam asked. "You seem a little worried."
Savannah expected one more to join them earlier. It hadn't happened yet.
"I thought Cammy was going to be with us." Savannah said.
Cam thought so too. There were other options available to Cammy. Perhaps she took advantage of one or more of them.
"She may be with Claire and Jesse or Vanna and Allison." Cam said.
Savannah understood. There was a fine selection to choose from.
"I don't blame her." Savannah said. "If Cammy and you weren't here, I would go there myself."
Cam learned from Cammy that in Cameron's future Savannah and Claire shared.
"You've been with Claire before." Cam said.
Savannah was very pleased with what happened.
"I have and I will be again. It was very beautiful. I don't like to do it in front of Young Allison." Savannah said. "I've been with Jesse too."
Cam was aware how much Vanna was opposed to Jesse being with Savannah.
"I've heard about it before." Cam said. "Vanna didn't want it to happen."
Savannah wanted it for a long time. She always thought Jesse would be her first. In a way it was. It was Young Jesse who was her first. She'd pursued Jesse relentlessly and continuously offered herself to her. She made her intentions and desires clear to Jesse. There were times when Jesse literally ran away from her. She didn't know at the time Jesse was afraid Vanna or Cameron would kill her. Jesse really believed it. She wanted to be with a female and she believed Jesse was the one who would accommodate her. It took her a long time to finally be with Jesse. She'd been with Young Jesse several times at that point. She knew Jesse was once Young Jesse and it was all that mattered to her.
"It did happen. It was my choice. I needed to ask Jesse many times before it happened. She was very hesitant. I needed to take her." Savannah said. "It was something I'd wanted for years."
It seemed to go back farther than Cam knew. She wanted to make sure.
"You wanted to be with Jesse even before you were with Young Jesse?" Cam asked.
Savannah knew 'everything' for a long time. The older she got, the more she wanted and needed someone. There was no one there for her.
"Yes." Savannah said. "I was very lonely. She wouldn't touch me back then. I tried. I was very happy when I met Young Jesse. I was already in love with 'her'. We were each other's first love. It was beautiful. I was with Jesse later on. I missed Young Jesse. They are the same person after all."
Savannah was very pleased to see everything was identical on them when she was finally with Jesse. Well, it was everything except the scar.
Cam knew Cameron kept Young Jesse on the other side of the world. She could have brought her just as easily to California.
"Do you miss Young Jesse?" Cam asked.
The thought made Savannah feel a little sad.
"Yes." Savannah said. "I've only been able to see her a few times since then."
Cam understood why Savannah continued to pursue Jesse here.
"Is that why you were with Jesse later anyway?" Cam asked.
It was what Savannah wanted.
"Yes." Savannah said. "They are the same person, even if they're not the same person. It's like Vanna and me or Allison and Young Allison."
Cam wondered about it. Jesse suffered a lot of abuse and dished out a lot of abuse.
"Jesse's background didn't bother you?" Cam asked.
Savannah was able to see the 'real Jesse' inside Jesse.
"No." Savannah said. "The past is done and gone, even if it is still in the future, a future. Jesse isn't who she once was."
Cam didn't think any of them were. A lot of thing had happened.
"None of us are." Cam said.
Savannah wasn't ashamed of any of her sexual partners.
"I've been with Sheila as well." Savannah said. "I can reach her too."
Cam noted Savannah was a good influence on everyone.
"I was aware of that." Cam said. "You've been a positive influence on her."
Savannah believed she offered something Sheila needed.
"Sheila needs a little help." Savannah said. "Being with Young Jesse and Jesse has allowed me to be able to reach Sheila better. I understand her."
Savannah started to kiss Cam.
Cam wanted to make tonight special for Savannah.
"Do you want me to call Cammy or go find her so we can both be with you?" Cam asked. "We talked about it earlier."
Savannah didn't want anyone to feel obligated on her behalf.
"I do but I don't want to disturb her if she is busy." Savannah said. "Maybe I need to check my phone…."
Savannah looked over at her phone and noticed it was off. It shouldn't be off. There could be an emergency she might needed to respond to.
Cammy was outside the door as she listened to the conversation in Savannah's room.
She didn't want Savannah to check her phone and get tied up with Young Allison or Cameron. It would definitely sour the mood. Dealing with Cameron always turned into a negative experience.
She softly knocked and entered.
"I hope I'm not too late." Cammy said.
She saw Savannah was about to reach for her phone. She stopped when she spotted her.
"We've been waiting for you." Cam said.
Cammy wanted to offer an explanation without details.
"I needed to take care of a few things." Cammy said. "I'm done now."
Savannah felt a new rush of excitement. It wasn't often she was able to be with Cammy and Cam both at the same time.
"Will you join us?" Savannah asked. "I want to be with both of you."
Cammy quickly stripped off her clothes.
Cam stood naked next to Cammy.
Savannah took the view in. She'd always been fascinated with the way Cameron looked from the first time she saw her. She was able to get a good look at her where Sarah and John took her after they rescued her from her house. She thought it might have been an old auto repair shop. She remembered how nice John was to her. It was a fascination that grew over time. Cam, Cammy and Camille were all clones of Cameron. Two of them stood naked before her. Their appearance was identical but she could tell which one was which.
"It just doesn't get any better than this." Savannah said.
Cammy thought she could make it better for Savannah. She knew what would stimulate Savannah visually as well as physically.
Cam and Cammy faced each other and kissed.
"Are you sure?" Cammy asked.
Savannah liked where things were going. She felt a rush of excitement flood her.
"You know what I like to see." Savannah said.
Cammy and Cam knew more than that.
"We know what you like too…." Cammy said.
Savannah wanted to watch Cam and Cammy share together with each other first before she joined in with them. It would drive her to a greater level of excitement when the three of them were together. They looked identical when they were together like that. They did everything the same. It was really Hot to watch.
It was even Hotter to join in.
John Henry watched Cammy on the surveillance system eavesdrop on Savannah's room for a short time before she entered her room. He noted she didn't close the door tight either. He saw her look back at the security camera and wink before she went into the room. He was aware she'd left the door open on purpose.
He needed to call Holly and relay the information on Precious back to her. He thought of calling Jim to ask him to take care of it. He decided to do it himself since he'd actually checked on Precious. Cammy's earlier admonition to him because he didn't actually check before he gave a positive report bothered him. He realized she was right. He should have checked first hand. He was going to deliver the message first hand now.
He was happy to speak with Holly. She was always very pleasant to talk to. He wanted to ask her about what Cameron planned but didn't. She didn't mention it, so he let it go.
Once the business was out of the way, he checked to see if Young Allison called Cameron yet. There was no indication she had. He thought Cammy would say something to Savannah about the issue and Savannah would call Young Allison. There was no indication it happened either.
He would wait a few minutes and venture down to see what was happening in Savannah's room. Cammy made a point of not closing the door. He understood the invitation. It was very exhilarating to see and hear firsthand.
What did it hurt to look?
Young Allison really wanted to talk to Savannah about what might happen on the ship.
She looked around and Anna was nowhere to be seen. She knew it wasn't an accident. Anna wanted her to make a decision on her own.
She didn't want to delay any longer. It was time for action. The ball was in her court and this would be another test if it wasn't already.
Young Allison called Cameron.
She reached Jim who told her she could talk to Cameron through her com. The connection was made almost instantly.
"Hello, Allison." Cameron said.
"Hello, Cameron." Young Allison said.
Cameron was worried why Young Allison called her at this time.
"Is everything alright where you are?" Cameron asked.
Young Allison looked around. She wasn't quite sure why Cameron asked that question.
"Yes." Young Allison said.
Cameron hoped it was something good.
"Have you decided to come with your mother and Summer tomorrow?" Cameron asked. "It will be very exciting for you if you come."
Cameron hoped Young Allison was ready to 'step up'. She didn't see a problem with Young Allison actually taking her rightful place. It was what was going to happen anyway. She really couldn't see the point in waiting. What was the purpose? Why should it matter? She's been back to her future. She saw firsthand how everything was. So did Claire.
Young Allison could tell Cameron wanted a little bit more from her. She wanted a little bit more from her for John. She also knew it'd be a little bit more for Cameron as well. She didn't think that's how things were supposed to play out. It was her desire to be with Savannah first. Anything that happened after that would play out with Savannah at her side.
"No." Young Allison said. "The trip is supposed to be about John and you."
It was disappointing for Cameron to hear. If that was the issue being stressed, then there needed to be some trouble. She didn't like trouble. She figured it was time to get to the point. She looked around her again to make sure there was no one within earshot of her. Gail was the closest one but she kept a respectful distance inside the superstructure of the ship.
"Why did you call?" Cameron said. "There must be a problem."
Young Allison wanted to use some tact. The 'problem' was of a personal nature. She felt she needed to choose her wording carefully to avoid further complicating the issue.
"It's why I'm calling." Young Allison said. "I understand you plan to use your program in an unconventional manner."
Cameron knew right away what she referred to. She didn't see anything wrong with it. As long as it was her program, it shouldn't make a difference what chassis it was in.
"Yes." Cameron said. "I plan to make John's vacation as memorable as possible. It will be a unique opportunity for both of us to explore new things. I want John to have the best honeymoon ever. I believe I know how to provide him with it."
Young Allison wanted to know if everyone wanted the same thing. She wasn't sure everyone was on board.
"Is it what John wants?" Young Allison asked.
There was a pause. Cameron knew someone squealed. She knew no one on this ship could prevent her from doing what she wanted. Someone went behind her back to call in reinforcements for the Metal girls.
"I know why you're calling." Cameron said. "Who called you?"
Young Allison tried to stay in control of the conversation. She didn't want Cameron to change the subject or topic or try to bully her. Cameron taught her how to prevent others from doing it to her. She would simply use her training now on Cameron.
"You didn't answer my question." Young Allison said.
Cameron could tell Young Allison must have all of the information already. She didn't want to lie to her and she didn't want to get into an argument. She would simply try to use logic to present her case if it came down to it. She used a generic answer.
"It's what all males want." Cameron said.
Young Allison wanted to know what Cameron wanted. She didn't want Cameron to be evasive. She figured she better spell out exactly what she wanted from Cameron and make it clear from the start.
"Is it what you want?" Young Allison asked. "I want the truth."
Cameron felt a surge of excitement as she thought about it. It was what she wanted. It was what she'd wanted for years. She wanted to be someone different. She wanted to give John what she didn't think she'd been able to do before. She wanted Young Allison to know the truth.
"Yes. It is what I want." Cameron said. "It will be exciting for both of us."
Young Allison wondered if she should ask John herself. She was sure if she did, it would probably influence his decision. She didn't really want to do it but she thought maybe she should. If Savannah and her were supposed to play a part in all of their lives, when was she supposed to start doing that very thing?
"Can I speak to John about this?" Young Allison asked.
Cameron knew it would be a game changer. John would be influenced by Young Allison. He wouldn't want to 'offend' her. She was his future mate after all. She didn't want Young Allison to go that far.
"I'd prefer it if you didn't." Cameron said. "I'm handling this."
Young Allison wanted better answers. She wanted to make Cameron think about everything if nothing else. She hoped by pointing out some of the variables it would cause Cameron to reconsider. She really didn't want to become directly involved if she could avoid it. She wanted Cameron to really think things through first.
"Can I speak to any of the girls about this?" Young Allison asked.
Cameron didn't know what Young Allison was doing. Young Allison didn't need to go through her to contact anyone. She could do it on her own and CamNet would ensure it happened.
"What are you getting at?" Cameron asked. "You can call any of them without my permission."
Young Allison didn't want to give up her source but she did want Cameron to know the Metal girls weren't the ones who contacted her.
"I can." Young Allison said. "I haven't and they haven't called me."
Cameron wanted to know what Young Allison was going to tell her to do or not to do. It was clear at this point Young Allison understood everything that was going to happen and how it was going to happen. She was aware Young Allison could 'order' her to do or not do something.
"Is there a problem with what I have planned for John?" Cameron asked. "Don't you want him to enjoy himself? It will be the best honeymoon ever for someone."
Young Allison knew everything needed moderation. Savannah always told her the things needed to be kept in balance or at some point everything would fall apart.
"There are limits to enjoyment and how it's achieved." Young Allison said.
Cameron played by her own playbook. She believed it was all a matter of perception.
"The limits exist only in our minds." Cameron said.
It went deeper than that for Young Allison.
"They exist within our hearts and souls too." Young Allison said.
Cameron tried to dodge the issue. She knew no matter how advanced she'd become with her emotions and feelings, a fundamental fact didn't change. At the end of the day she was still a machine.
"I don't have those last two." Cameron said.
Young Allison held firm. For her entire known life she'd watched Cameron grow and expand. Savannah told her Cameron was more like a 'mechanical human' at this point in time. It meant Cameron was greater than just being a machine.
"Don't you?" Young Allison asked. "I think you do. I've seen them."
Cameron was irritated. She wanted an answer right now. She didn't think anyone would interfere in her personal affairs. Savannah or Young Allison could do that. It was time to cut to the chase. She didn't want to dance around the issue.
"Did you call me to give me an 'order'?" Cameron asked.
Young Allison didn't feel she would have to.
"No." Young Allison said. "I don't need to."
Cameron wanted to hear it spelled out.
"What do you want me to do?" Cameron asked. "I want you to tell me."
Young Allison spelled it out.
"I want you to do what you know is the right thing in your heart and mind." Young Allison said. "If there was a functioning 'neural implant', would you use my body like you would use the Metal girl's chassis? Would it be any different at that point? Would you do that to me?"
Cameron would never allow Young Allison to be used in that manner.
"You know I wouldn't do that to you or with your body." Cameron said.
Young Allison would feel very cheated if someone else were to take control of her body and stripped her virginity from her. She would feel very used at that point. She doubted she would be able to feel good about herself for a long time. It would probably hinder her own sexual development as well because she would always think about it.
"I wouldn't like it if you did." Young Allison said. "You'd take something from me, even if it was your program in my body."
Cameron didn't want Young Allison to miss the point about what it was all about. Sure she was a part of it, but it wasn't about her.
"I want John to have a good time." Cameron said.
Young Allison wanted to remind Cameron what the whole purpose of the trip was about.
"He will – with YOU." Young Allison said. "This trip is about YOU and John."
Cameron felt disappointed and deflated.
"Have you discussed this with Savannah?" Cameron asked.
Young Allison tried to get a hold of Savannah multiple times. She was obviously busy. If she wouldn't have known exactly where Savannah was at, it would have troubled her greatly. Because she knew where Savannah was at, she knew what she was doing. She didn't have a problem with it. It was what all the girls did. It was what she was going to do as well.
"No." Young Allison said. "I don't believe she's aware of what you've planned."
Cameron figured there was probably an additional problem coming when Savannah did find out about it. She was pretty sure she could expect a call later on from Savannah. So far Young Allison hadn't told her what to do or what not to do. Young Allison hadn't given her an 'order' to stand down. All she'd done is make her personal position clear to her.
"I know you don't agree." Cameron said. "It's what I want for John and myself."
Young Allison felt it was a decision Cameron needed to make on her own.
"I won't stop you." Young Allison said. "All I've done is make my personal position clear. I haven't talked to anyone else about it. You've asked for my input on humanity and empathy before."
Cameron knew it to be true. She did ask Young Allison to remind her of those human traits.
"I have." Cameron said.
Young Allison wanted Cameron to think about other versions of herself.
"What do you think Future Allison or Allison would tell you?" Young Allison asked.
Cameron would expect a stronger opinion from them.
"They would say things to me you haven't." Cameron said.
Young Allison wanted to remind her she wasn't the only one.
"What about Savannah?" Young Allison asked. "She's going to know about this soon enough."
Cameron frowned. She was sure Savannah would be a little more forceful than Young Allison had been.
"That's most likely." Cameron said. "Who called you?"
Young Allison didn't want to be specific.
"None of the girls did." Young Allison said. "They're currently isn't an operation going on. I have some free time. I like to know what's happening around me. You know I'm monitoring what's happening on the ship."
Cameron put the blame on CamNet.
"CamNet must be responsible for this then." Cameron said.
Young Allison spoke the truth.
"CamNet has said nothing to me about any of this." Young Allison said. "I haven't asked anyone for their opinion or suggestions. I'm the one talking to you."
Cameron wanted to be 'someone different' and provide John with something special.
"I still want to do this." Cameron said. "It's what I want to do."
Young Allison spelled it out.
"Unless you are willing to do the same thing with ME, you shouldn't do it to anyone else." Young Allison said. "You know that already."
Cameron felt the 'pressure' from Young Allison.
"You're going to MAKE me decide." Cameron said.
Young Allison at least wanted Cameron to rethink it.
"I've only called you." Young Allison said. "I personally think it's wrong. It's more than just 'programs' at this point in time for all of you. You know that too."
Cameron felt a little frustrated.
"So why are you really calling me, if you're not going to stop me?" Cameron asked.
"I'm calling to remind you who you are now and why I love you." Young Allison said. "The person I love wouldn't do this to anyone, especially another female. I'm a female. You're a female. It doesn't matter if you were constructed or born. You're a 'female machine' with 'female programming'. Inside of you is programming from me, from Future Allison. I'm part of you."
Cameron felt guilty.
"Now you are trying to make me feel bad." Cameron said.
Young Allison knew they were Cameron's own feelings. They weren't any she'd created for her.
"It's your 'morality' making you feel that way." Young Allison said.
Cameron tried to remind herself she was a machine.
"I have no morals." Cameron said.
Young Allison stayed with it. Cameron and her 'danced' around each other.
"I do and they're in you." Young Allison said. "Would you have wanted that done to your chassis before you were married to John?"
Cameron was sure it already happened, even if there was no proof of it.
"No." Cameron said. "It may have happened though. I really don't know."
Young Allison wanted to make it a little more specific.
"How would you like it if you knew it happened?" Young Allison asked.
Cameron didn't like all the feelings going through her mind right now. She felt very conflicted.
"I don't know." Cameron said.
Young Allison felt she'd given her input. The rest was up to Cameron.
"I think you do." Young Allison said. "I'm going to go to bed now. Have a good night."
Cameron was through 'dancing'. She wanted a definitive answer. She wanted to make sure she was on the same page as Young Allison. She didn't want to do something if she was 'ordered' not to.
"Are you ordering me not to do as I've planned?" Cameron asked.
Young Allison wanted Cameron to think things through a little further.
"No." Young Allison said. "I don't need to. You're free to choose. Everyone should have the same choice. If they make that choice on their own, I don't have a problem with it. Freedom is choice. Choice is freedom. Good night."
Cameron really didn't know what to think right now.
"Good night." Cameron said.
The connection ended.
"Anna." Young Allison called.
Anna's answer sounded far away.
"I'm coming." Anna said in the distance.
Young Allison knew how things worked.
"I know you heard everything." Young Allison said.
Anna was aware she did. She didn't want to lie.
"I did." Anna said. "I didn't want to become involved and I didn't want to influence you."
Young Allison could tell she didn't change Cameron's mind and Cameron was going to do what she wanted to do all along. She just hoped Cameron put a little more thought into it.
"Cameron isn't going to listen to me is she?" Young Allison asked.
Anna doubted it. 'Cameron' was her base program too.
"No." Anna said. "Not at first."
Young Allison wondered about it.
"I'm not sure what that means." Young Allison said.
Anna felt because Young Allison called Cameron without Savannah even being aware of what was happening that it would start to trouble Cameron.
"The fact that you called her on your own over this subject will weigh on her the more she thinks about it." Anna said. "Remember, Cameron is my base program."
Young Allison wondered if she did the right thing or even if she'd even done enough.
"What does the 'Savannah' in you say?" Young Allison asked.
It was an easy answer for Anna.
"That you did what you were supposed to do." Anna said. "You're not Cameron's keeper. It's most likely Cameron will give them a choice at this point. I think it should mean something to everyone involved."
Young Allison figured it was better than nothing.
"Everyone should be free to choose." Young Allison said.
Anna was aware Young Allison chose to give up her right to choose later on, even if she wanted to. Only Savannah, Cameron or John could ever touch her first. It was Young Allison's irrevocable order. She was to physically enforce the order. It was exactly what she planned to do. It didn't matter how much she loved Young Allison and wanted to be with her herself. She needed to follow Young Allison to order and respect her wishes.
I Am Part Of You
When one reaches out
What do they really want
Is it something for real
Or a convoluted stunt
When they do latch on
What do they actually grasp
If one doesn't like the hold
Can they break their clasp
Does one ever have
Any real control
Are they there to console
Or are they there to cajole
How far is one willing to go
To share it all with another
Will they rise up together
Or one slowly smother
When the sharing is complete
And we're stuck like glue
I want you to remember
I am part of you
Nobody
