Part 3 - Hot
Sarah rolled her head lazily to the side as bare feet hit the wooden floor of the kitchen. Cameron, dressed in just a tank top and shorts, was completely comfortable in the one hundred degree weather.
Not having enough energy to move her head, she continue to stare at Cameron as the terminator cleaned off her hands at the sink. "Any luck?"
"No, with the amount of damage, it would be easier to buy a new one."
Sarah groaned. "We don't have enough money to buy a new air conditioner."
Cameron didn't answer right away, finishing washing her hands. When she was done, she turned to Sarah, frowning. "If we do not get a new one, you could overheat."
"I know." Sarah frowned. "I'm jealous; you're not even bothered by this heat."
Cameron grinned, her brown eyes sparkling. "I know. John was looking for you earlier, said he wanted to show you something in the garage."
"Do I have to," Sarah whined. With a huffed she forced herself off the chair. "What did he want?"
Cameron shrugged. "I do not know, he didn't say."
Sarah rolled her eyes, but headed outside anyways. Cameron followed her, thought Sarah had no idea why. She found John in the garage just as Cameron had said, but the boy was standing in front of a tarp, rocking back and forth on his heels.
She raised and eyebrow and crossed her arms. "What did you do?"
"Mom! What makes you think I did anything?" John whined, though there was a grin on his face.
"Cameron said you wanted to see me?" John nodded enthusiastically and moved out of the way, pulling the tarp off as he went. As the tarp finally slid away, it revealed an air conditioner. Sarah immediately turned to Cameron.
"I thought I told you we couldn't afford a new one!"
Cameron frowned. "I didn't buy it. John built it."
Sarah blinked and looked between the two. "What?"
"It was John's idea, after we found the old one could not be repaired."
John rolled his eyes. "Ignore her, she did most of the work."
Sarah pulled John into a hug, but she looked over at Cameron. "Thank you, both of you." She kissed John's head before letting him go. "And I'm sorry for getting angry before you explained."
Cameron gave her a smile. "It's okay."
As they walked back inside, with the new air conditioner in hand, Sarah turned to Cameron, laughter dancing in her eyes. "I'm still jealous."
