Chapter 348

When It Fits

All of Cameron's Terminators returned to her base.

Cammy updated Cameron on everything which occurred. She also relayed the request Savannah made to witness the interrogations. She even mentioned the part about the way Savannah 'looked' at John and how she did it. It was very risqué.

Cameron smiled. She personally taught Savannah the move and look. She told her it always made the target feel 'off guard'. She told her to 'offer' the target what they 'want'. It was to allow them to get closer to the target. It made the kill easier. It was all part of her infiltration programming.

She was pleased at the way John responded to Savannah. She decided to push Savannah a little harder on it. The others hadn't stepped up to 'protect' John for the future fast enough. She wanted John protected. He needed human females at his side to accomplish it. To have them in his bed and bear his offspring would be even better. As long as she was the one who controlled who was in John's bed, and when, she didn't have a problem with it. It was part of her mission. It was what Future John wanted.

The problem before was John chose someone else over her. He stood up for them time and time again at her expense. John didn't need to rub her face in it. It's what he did on multiple occasions. It only seemed to add insult to injury.

She wanted to use Claire too. She didn't want to mess up her marriage. She didn't want Allison to hold the breakup of her parents against her. The fact was her parents never really were a couple, even if there was paperwork which said so. Claire was forced into marriage by her parents to 'straighten her out'. They were all things she would rather not think about right now. Her encounter with the female Terminator was very sobering. It was her who could have been terminated just as easily.

Everyone else returned to the Resistance base. John called for an after action report with John Henry.

Cameron arrived for the report.

John Henry went over the entire operation. Anyone could add what they wanted. There was no footage of the enemy Terminators. Cameron removed all of it. She also kept both of the captured Terminators.

John wondered about what happened. He debated with himself whether to bring it up or not. He figured Cameron would lie to him about it. He really didn't know why. Everyone knew there was a Terminator involved. He would give it a shot. He wondered if she would avoid the issue or not.

"What about the hostile Terminator?" John asked

Cameron didn't even look over at him. He only indicated he knew about one of them. She decided to keep it the same way. She chose her words carefully.

"They were terminated. Drop it." Cameron said. "Move on."

Savannah specifically went over all her actions. It was with Cameron as her main focus.

Cameron was pleased with her decisions. She felt Savannah did everything like she trained her to do. The fact Savannah almost endangered herself to come to her aid bothered her some. No, it bothered her a lot. Savannah's life wasn't worth her existence. She didn't want to say anything in front of the others. She certainly didn't want to hear John give his 'two cents' worth.

None of their Terminators added anything, or even talked about the enemy Terminators which Cameron deactivated. There were several of them which knew there was more than one. They also knew one of them was a female Terminator. It was clear to them Cameron didn't want to share the information with anyone else who wasn't there.

Savannah and John looked at each other. It was clear Cameron was always in control.

Cameron made a few recommendations. She thought Savannah stepped up and called the shots very well.

They broke up the meeting. Savannah decided to clean and inspect her weapons. She watched John and Cameron walk away together. She followed them.

John turned to go back to his room.

Cameron felt she was a little tough on John for the after action report. There was something she needed to say about the endeavor. It was very important to her.

"John, I want to thank you." Cameron said as she turned to go with him.

John was sure he knew where things were headed. He wanted to see how far Cameron would play her hand.

"What do you need to thank me for?" John asked.

Cameron hoped he would know. She was sure he did. She knew he liked to make a production out of everything, usually at her expense.

"I want to thank you for allowing Savannah to step up today during the operation which was conducted." Cameron said. "I appreciate you trusted her judgment and training."

John saw it as a little deeper than him 'allowing' anything.

"Savannah did it on her own. I appreciate what you've done for her." John said. "She received guidance and she was ready."

John already regretted saying the 'ready' part at the end.

Cameron looked at John for a moment. She looked into his eyes as she spoke.

"She is ready, John." Cameron said.

John really didn't want to get into it. There was something he knew and understood. He tried to deflect the conversation back towards Cameron.

"You know she loves you, Cameron." John said.

Cameron did know Savannah loved her. She knew it was a love like no other. She also wanted to remind John of his destiny. She saw it as more of a multi-lane highway.

"She loves you too, John." Cameron said.

John smiled and stole a quick glance at Cameron. He could see there was a very serious look on her face.

"Do you?" John asked.

Cameron quickly looked at John. The serious look instantly turned into a playful look.

"Maybe, I might…." Cameron said slyly to tease him.

John was ready for a little more right now. He could really use some alone time with Cameron right now.

"Prove it." John said.

Cameron stopped at their door. She was ready for a little more too.

"Well?" Cameron asked.

John knew what Cameron wanted.

"Is it our wedding night again?" John asked.

Cameron wanted things her way. She wanted to feel special. She waited until she was married before they consummated their relationship. She didn't want to think about what could have happened in the past, the future. There was simply no way to know. She did treasure her first experience. It was why she liked to recreate it.

"It always is." Cameron said.

John wondered why she never tired of it. It was always the same thing.

"How many times have we done this?" John asked playfully.

'More than either of us know or remember.' Cameron thought.

"Not as many as we will." Cameron said what she believed.

John smiled and scooped Cameron up as he carried her inside.

Cameron shoved the door closed as they entered.

Just before the door closed Cameron saw Savannah in the distance. She watched what they just did.

John felt Cameron stiffen some. It wasn't a usual response, even if what they were about to do was. He noted a glitch impulse in her hand.

"Cameron, what's wrong?" John asked.

Cameron knew what was in her programming. She was aware of what Future John wanted. It was something she desired as well. It was for reasons other than Future John's plans for John.

"The future is about to catch up to me, as it MUST do for both of us." Cameron said.

Cameron believed the day would soon arrive where she would need to yield her place as John's wife. She worked hard to make Savannah the perfect replacement for her. She knew Savannah at John's side in the future would protect him from assassination. It was what mattered. John needed to be protected. It was very important John remained alive to her, even if he was with human females.

John didn't think it was time to change anything.

"It's not here yet." John said. "I don't see the need to rush it either. I'm with who I want to be with. I'm with who I love deeply. The future can wait."

Cameron knew it was closer than John thought. Right now it was them alone. She wanted what was rightfully hers as John's wife. She wasn't his girlfriend or concubine. She was his wife.

"Take me, John." Cameron said as they stripped each other….

John was all for it. He noticed Savannah too. If they turned out the lights, Cameron was about to be 'Savannah' in his mind as they shared. He looked at the bulge in his pants. He was more than ready for some 'fresh meat'. As Cameron relived her wedding night, it would make the thought of 'Savannah' even sweeter….

He thought he should feel guilty for thinking in such a way. He did want to be with Cameron because he loved her. He also couldn't get over the weeks, months, and over a year where she left him high and dry. He was all alone during those times. Even if there were others available who were ready and willing, he never acted. He waited for Cameron's return. Why? The one person who loved Cameron even more than him said she would return. She said it was because Cameron was invincible and eternal. Savannah was right. There were times when he was so alone he needed to redirect his feelings elsewhere for his own survival. The recipient of them was exactly who Cameron wanted it to be. It was Savannah.

Savannah watched John carry Cameron into their room. She knew what Cameron wanted her to do. She thought about going there now. She could do what Cameron wanted. She didn't know if she would feel comfortable alone with John. Maybe Cameron could stay there and give her advice on how to please John and make him happy. Maybe Cameron would touch her, or she could touch Cameron….

Bob noticed Savannah standing outside John's door. He watched her move there from down the hall. He noticed her reach for the door handle twice, but both times she lowered her hand. He could tell she felt she needed to go in there, but was very hesitant to do so. He could understand why to a certain extent. Anytime the surroundings or events were unfamiliar, it always created some apprehension.

He made some noise to get her attention. He actually needed to do it twice.

Savannah looked up at Bob. She was surprised to see he was so close. She thought she would have noticed someone sooner than she did. It was because her mind was in a different place. It was actually an uncomfortable place for her.

"Hi." Savannah said.

"Hi." Bob said.

Savannah looked at the door to John's room again. She felt she needed to offer some type of an explanation as to where she was going. She didn't know Bob saw her reach for the door handle twice, and both times lose her nerve. It was probably because it wasn't the only thing she would 'lose' if she went inside.

"I'm on my way to clean my weapons and put the gear back I borrowed out of the SUV." Savannah said.

Bob decided to go there too. Savannah looked like she needed a friend.

"I was headed to the armory as well." Bob said.

Savannah smiled and took his hand. She felt the need to have some physical contact with someone. It didn't matter to her if they were a Terminator or a human. They were both equal to her in every respect.

Bob was surprised by Savannah's act. Savannah did it a lot when she was younger. It made him 'feel good' inside.

Savannah gave his hand a gentle squeeze. It was to show she wanted to hold it.

Bob smiled at her.

She walked with Bob away from John's room. She took one last look back before they rounded the corner. If Cameron would have been at the door, she would have gone back and provided John with one of her functions…. She would still be a girl for now. It didn't look like she would become a woman today. Even though it was something she wanted to try for her own personal reasons, it was still a little intimidating to think about it. Some of the videos she watched online seemed to be very invasive on the female body. It was one of the reasons why she stopped watching them. She only watched videos with females in them. It was what made her feel comfortable. It was where her desire was.

Bob and her laid out all the weapons which were used.

Savannah needed to take her mind off of other things for right now. She cleaned and inspected the weapons. Bob helped her.

Bob noticed Savannah seemed very absorbed and somewhat withdrawn. She wasn't her usual cheerful self. He wondered if it was about the Gray who Savannah terminated, or something more personal. He understood it was important for humans to talk about things at times. He often talked with John about various issues.

"You aren't saying much." Bob said. "Is there something wrong?"

Savannah was very unsure of herself at this point. She'd almost made a big decision earlier but folded.

"I don't know for sure." Savannah said. "I feel confused, Bob."

Bob knew what she referred to. It wasn't the Gray she terminated. He saw where she was earlier and what she almost did. He didn't see the need for any confusion. It all seemed pretty straight forward to him. The future already happened, so everyone knew what was necessary to make it happen again.

"There's nothing to be confused about." Bob said. "You know your place in the future."

Savannah did know her place, and her function. She needed to 'provide' herself to John. She would need to take something away from Cameron to do it. It was THAT act which bothered her.

"I can't take it." Savannah said. "I want to, but I can't."

Bob still didn't see any problem going forward.

"You will make the right decision when the time calls for it." Bob said. "Just like you made the right call today, you were remarkable."

Savannah appreciated Bob's comment.

"Thank you." Savannah said. "I just did what needed to be done, when it needed to be done."

Bob wanted to remind her it wasn't about Cameron or her. It wasn't about them specifically. They were 'tools' which were needed to accomplish an important task. It was about protecting John and protecting the future. He would ask Cameron to remind her.

When they were done, Savannah headed back to her room after she thanked Bob. She thanked him for more than just assisting her with cleaning the weapons.

Bob was very pleased he was able to spend time with Savannah and hopefully assist her with some of her internal conflicts. He didn't experience many of them, but they were very uncomfortable when he did. It seemed to happen more often now as he continued to evolve.

Savannah paused and looked at the door to John's room again. Maybe she should just go there anyway. He could 'pop' her and get things started. It might be a little discomforting the first few times, but she was ready for it. It was what she read about in Cosmo. It was what many females experienced. It wasn't all of them. Things were supposed to get better after they started and continued. The sooner she got things into motion, the more everyone could enjoy the sharing.

She frowned and went into her room. She showered to get cleaned up. She felt 'dirty'. It was more than just being out earlier. The second Gray she killed didn't bother her like the first one did either. It was part of the 'job'. The Gray chose his lifestyle and hence his own termination. Maybe it was because of what she knew she needed to do. No, it was more than what she needed to do. It was who she would need to hurt to do it.

Savannah exited the shower. She wasn't sure how long she was in there. It was a long time. She started to pleasure herself twice in the shower, but stopped both times as she neared the finish. She purposely denied herself the moment of pleasure and 'escape'. Maybe it was 'punishment'. She stood naked before the mirror as she looked at herself. She almost looked exactly like Vanna in every way, only younger. She also noticed everything which was pink, was really pink right now. It was probably from all the stimulation. She looked at plenty of images and videos to know most females were a little to a lot 'darker' than her in those places. It made her wonder if John would like it or not. There really wasn't anything she could do about it one way or another.

She started to put her underwear on. She paused. She thought about pleasuring herself again but didn't want to finish right now, even if she did want a finish. Something else called to her. Her future called to her. She went to her closet and took out Cameron's wedding dress. She slipped it on. It fit her perfectly, almost. It was close and probably the best it would ever fit.

'When this dress fits me perfectly, it's time.' Savannah thought.

The time seemed like right now.

There was a knock at her door.

Savannah tried to quickly slip out of the wedding dress. Before she could, the door opened.

It was Cameron.

They stood and just looked at each other.

Savannah swallowed hard. She expected to see Cameron's hand glitch. It didn't. Instead Cameron smiled at her. She came over to her and gave her a hug.

Cameron looked on the dresser and picked up Savannah's hair brush. She very gently brushed Savannah's hair to make it look even prettier. It was what she always did for Savannah since she was younger. She worked on Savannah until she was Tight. It didn't take her long. Savannah's natural beauty was easy to work with.

Neither of them said anything since Cameron entered the room. There was nothing to say. They both knew what the future dictated.

Cameron stood behind Savannah. She looked in the mirror with her.

"When the dress fits…." Cameron said. "It's time…."

Savannah knew what Cameron just indicated she should do.

"Cameron…." Savannah started.

Cameron cut her off.

"Everyone sacrifices for John Connor." Cameron said and left the room as quietly as she entered it.

Savannah took a long look at herself in the mirror. She believed the dress fit her perfectly. She carefully took it off and put the dress away. She told herself it wasn't a 'perfect' fit yet. She tried to make herself believe it. She wanted more, but she didn't want to 'take' it from Cameron.

"I can't wait for the dress to fit." Savannah softly said to herself. "I NEED someone now. I feel so lonely."

Savannah was lonely and 'hungry'….

Cameron listened outside of Savannah's door. She was very upset with what she heard. She frowned and soundlessly moved away from the door. She would need to do something. She didn't want Savannah to feel alone. She was well aware of all the hurt and pain which came with it. It was the type of hurt which never seemed to go away, the type of hurt she remembered again right now.

She hurried away faster. Her left hand started to glitch. It didn't glitch because of Savannah, but for Savannah. She felt responsible for her isolation and aloneness. It was her fault. It wasn't Savannah's fault. She didn't believe John would be Savannah's first choice, if a choice was available to her.

Cameron now faced a choice. She was aware of what Savannah desired. Savannah wanted to be with one of the girls. She could offer herself to Savannah, or allow Savannah to be with Jesse, Allison, or even Vanna. The glitch worsened when she thought maybe even Riley…. She didn't harbor any resentment towards Riley. It was Future Riley who offended her. If two individuals wanted to share with each other, and there was no manipulation involved on anyone's part, she didn't believe anyone should stand in their way, least of all her. Savannah was very important to her. The glitch worsened.

Ronny and Ron picked up the captured truck driver and took him back to Cameron's facility. The newly captured Terminators were laid out as well.

Camille and Cammy reviewed the chips. Any information on the future they came from was erased. It always seemed to be the case. They never got a break on what was happening in the future, any of them. There was no way to know what future they were even from.

Cammy used the DNA and genetic information Cameron previously prepared for the female Terminator. Ronny's chip was moved into her chassis.

Ronny and Ron both wanted the female chassis for themselves. They flipped a coin and Ronny won. They would trade days in the chassis and share it.

"We will trade off every three days." Ronny told Ron.

Ron nodded.

Ronny looked at her cheek. The split looked very bad.

"A few staples will help this heal faster." Ronny said.

Camille looked at the naked sheath.

"The sheath is pretty hot the way it is." Camille said.

Cammy didn't think it mattered at this point.

"Too late, I've already started the Resequencing process." Cammy said. "In a few weeks or so, she'll look very different. Her breasts will be smaller too."

Camille looked down at her breasts with Cammy's statement.

Ronny touched her breasts. They were very large. It was unimportant. It seemed to matter to humans for some reason. Maybe it was so a mother could more adequately nurse their young. It seemed logical larger breasts would indicate there would be more available for an infant.

"I don't care as long as I have a female chassis." Ronny said. "I get tired of the 'junk'. It's as cumbersome as it is an eyesore. It's better when there's less there."

Cammy looked a little lower.

"You're going to have a little extra down there for now as well. Things should shorten up, as well as lighten up, with the Resequencing procedure." Cammy said. "You should lose most of the darker pigmentation."

Ron watched Ronny touch herself. He wanted to do it when it was his turn.

"It's only for three days." Ron reminded her. "Then it's mine."

Cameron arrived. She looked over Ronny's new chassis.

Ronny started to get up.

Cameron wanted to do a further inspection.

"I want to see all of it." Cameron said.

Ronny paused for a second. She felt there was a lot showing already. She then showed Cameron 'everything'.

Cameron nodded.

"Don't worry." Cameron said. "Things will shorten up soon enough."

Everyone went back to work.

Cameron liked to see how she compared to others. She spent hours looking at the other female Terminators before they were activated. Hanna was her favorite. Maybe because she knew it was what Savannah would look like. The image of a 'pink butterfly' was in her mind as she thought about it. She felt Ally and Cam were the least appealing. It was because they were identical to her…. She remembered John chose someone else before when she offered herself to him.

There was a glitch impulse which shot through her left hand. Now she was upset. There was some prior business she still needed to deal with.

"How is the female prisoner doing?" Cameron asked.

Camille noticed Cameron's left hand.

"She's ready for integration." Camille said. "We've kept her confined for some time. The male prisoner is available as well."

Cammy noticed too and didn't think things would go well for the prisoner. She would try to slow Cameron from becoming too abusive too soon with a reminder.

"Savannah wants to be part of the process." Cammy said.

Cameron pictured Savannah in her wedding dress. She looked like an Angel. Savannah didn't need to see any Terminator abuse during an interrogation.

"Savannah won't like it…." Cameron said.

Cammy was aware Cameron wanted to be 'herself' as she was created.

"You want Savannah to know you and how you really are." Cammy said. "WHAT you really are."

Cameron thought it was important Savannah see her for what she once was, and could be again.

"I do." Cameron said. "She needs to know the real me to slow her down."

Cammy didn't want to hear it. She would be Resequenced in a few more days. She would look like Allison. She wanted to be Savannah's lover.

"Slow her down?" Cammy asked. "I'm almost ready."

Cameron thought Savannah should know love from a human first. It didn't look like it was going to be John either. She didn't think John deserved to be the one to 'bust' Savannah because of his previous interaction with Future Riley. He didn't deserve such a privilege. She decided she would 'take care' of it herself if nothing else before Savannah was with John.

"NO. I want her to have a REAL lover, at least at first." Cameron said. "I want her to learn and share with REAL people first. I want her to have a human connection."

Cammy was offended by her statement. She felt she was real. She thought there was an even bigger problem.

"Young Allison is still years away." Camille said.

Cameron needed to make a choice. She made it. Savannah wasn't going to wait years, or be tainted by the girls of the future, not yet anyway. They could come later. Her thought caused her to briefly smile.

"I'm taking her to Australia. There's someone there who is almost her same age. She's in High School now. It's someone who is just as 'hungry'." Cameron said. "I will let them meet and decide what happens, or doesn't happen. I want them to have total freedom of choice in any decisions of a sexual nature."

Camille was just as offended as Cammy was. Cameron was about to take something special from both of them. It was probably because she felt she was 'used' by Future John. Now she was going to 'punish' them too. What a Bitch.

"Young Jesse is my assignment." Camille protested.

Cammy wanted her displeasure known as well.

"And Savannah is mine." Cammy added.

Cameron wanted both of them to remember Future Riley.

"You already know what being 'passed over' is like." Cameron said. "Deal with it. It's nothing new to us."

Cammy still felt 'cheated'.

"It's what you promised us." Cammy said.

Cameron could see she hit a 'nerve'. The Metal girls should remember what heartache was like.

"We're not REAL, and we don't belong." Cameron said. "We can never be human no matter how hard we try."

Ronny just finished dressing. She didn't put her bra on either. She stuffed it in her pocket. She was glad the 'girls' were there and wanted to give them a little freedom. She didn't like what Cameron inferred about all of them.

"Maybe you aren't real and don't belong." Ronny said.

Cameron spun around and faced Ronny.

"Do you wish to be deactivated in the first five minutes?" Cameron angrily asked.

Ronny felt 'fear'. Cameron was a Bitch. She would do it just to spite 'herself'.

"No." Ronny said.

Camille wanted to get a 'dig' in at Cameron.

"When we're finished Resequencing and updated, are we free to pursue John, since we will all be 'you'?" Camille asked. "I want it as my new mission then."

Cameron thought of her long range planes. She wanted to get away from it all….

"Yes." Cameron said. "One of you will replace me, permanently."

Each of the three 'Cameron clones' hoped it would be her.

"The other two will still have female assignments in the future…." Cameron said. "I may even take one of the assignments myself…."

The three female Cameron clones all looked at each other.

Cammy was upset.

Cameron glared at them and walked away.

They all knew which 'assignment' Cameron Prime would take. It would be the 'Chosen One'. It would be Savannah….

Closing monologue by Cameron:

When It Fits

There are many faces
That one can wear
To show their real face
Is something few will dare

There is who one is
There is who they want to be
Ashamed of their past
They limit what others can see

Everyone runs from the truth
They will all sidestep and lie
It's to themselves they lie the most
No one ever questions why

Nobody wants to be responsible
For any shady past action
The remedy to fix it
Seems to be further inaction

Look all around
This is as good as it gets
When does one wear life's shoe
The answer is easy, when it fits

Nobody
