Chapter 1071

Very Hands On

Young Allison decided she would get everyone's food order. She wanted to personally get John's order from him. She looked over at Anna.

"I'll check in the Command Center to see what they want." Young Allison said.

Anna looked at Young Allison for a long moment.

"Do you want me to see if I can find out what Jesse and your mom want?" Anna asked. "Do you want me to go with you?"

Young Allison wondered what Anna just really asked her. She wanted to make sure what Anna indicated.

"I can see John alone. I don't think it'll be a problem." Young Allison said.

She waited to see if Anna would protest. She didn't.

Young Allison left Anna behind and headed for the Command Center.

John was surprised when Young Allison stopped by and asked what he wanted for dinner. She told him what Savannah and Cameron planned to do. He thought that was a good idea. He was surprised that Young Allison looked like her cheerful playful self and it seemed as if she hadn't been involved in the operation at all.

He was more relieved she wasn't headed out to interrogate the prisoner. That all happened at Cameron's base. Cameron maintained that her base wasn't part of the Resistance operation. That gave her the leeway to conduct non Resistance related operations against future Scavengers and other 'black op' activities. The down side was that it also gave Cameron the freedom to become Skynet herself. That was a worrisome thought anytime.

Young Allison's next sentence caught him off guard. It brought him back to now. It was about the last thing he would have expected after their earlier discussion.

"We can either order out or I can make you something." Young Allison said. "I'd like to do that."

John wasn't sure how to respond to that. He knew Claire was a good cook. Maybe Young Allison was as good of a cook as her mother. That wouldn't surprise him at this point. Maybe she was better. He was aware that she excelled in everything.

It seemed Young Allison wasn't the least bit phased by the earlier events. Then again, she'd been following the Resistance operations for a while in the background. He liked how she'd remained calm when he 'pushed' her. She didn't hesitate to hold her ground and stand up for what she believed in. There was no yelling or shouting or angry words exchanged during any of it. She may have been upset and angry but she never let it seep through and interfere with her decision making or communication ability.

He looked her over again from head to toe and back again. He just couldn't get enough of how she looked. It was just like a younger version of Cameron. He wondered what else was on the menu. Was it strictly food? There were a few things he would like to try. He resisted the urge to tell her that he'd like to try a 'taco'.

"You'd make me something?" John asked.

Young Allison smiled. She was well aware of what the future held for her, for them.

"Of course I would." Young Allison said. "We're going to be living together in the future. We'll all help each other. We'll do a lot of things together."

John didn't want to go anywhere near Young Allison's statement. His earlier thoughts came back to haunt him. He wasn't even sure why he'd thought them. They just sort of popped into his head. He took in her beauty and it made him think of Future Allison again. He realized he was looking at 'Future Allison' now or what Young Allison would be in a few years.

He didn't want to be a problem. It made him think of one of the movies he liked to watch, 'Pretty Baby'. He thought it was best not to have Young Allison make something only for him. It would be a lot of work if she needed to make things for everyone.

"Maybe I can order out something like everyone else is." John said. "I don't want to give anyone the wrong impression."

Young Allison did. She didn't think there was anything 'wrong' about it. It was going to happen anyway. What difference did it make?

"Sure, John, we'll do whatever you want." Young Allison said.

John and Young Allison held a look with each other for a long time.

Young Allison took the order and left. She said she needed to get the information to Savannah.

John watched her leave again. She was so much like Cameron and Future Allison. He was startled when she glanced back and winked at him. She knew he would check her out.

He glanced over at John Henry.

"What just happened here?" John asked.

John Henry could tell what John really asked about. It was quite evident to him who was actually in control of the conversation the entire time. It really wasn't that much different than the operation they'd just conducted.

"I think you got a taste of the future." John Henry said.

Based on his research, John Henry thought John really wanted a 'taste' of the future. His research also indicated that a female could do that much better than a male could. He figured John would still give it a try.

John would have preferred John Henry used a different word other than 'taste'. It was one of the things that actually crossed his mind as he spoke to Young Allison. He was glad she wasn't upset at him after the earlier encounter. He didn't mean to be 'mean' to her earlier. He hoped that he hadn't come off like that. He just wanted to see what she would do and how far she would go. It was evident that she would do anything and go all the way, when it came to an operation that is. He was pretty sure that would apply to other things as well.

"I pushed her hard earlier." John said. "She seems totally unaffected."

John Henry was impressed himself. He observed that all of the Resistance females were very determined and resilient. He thought that Savannah would be hard to top. It appeared as if Young Allison might be able to do that. He was aware that there was another.

"Cameron's making her the 'perfect woman' in a young teenager's body." John Henry said. "At least it will be soon enough."

John liked what he saw now. He really wondered if Cameron knew what she was doing. It was clear Cameron was playing with fire. He knew when someone played with fire they eventually got burnt. He was only human so the 'fire' that Cameron was about to create was sure to burn her sooner or later. He only could hope it didn't consume her.

He understood that it was his personal fantasy to think about Savannah and now Young Allison. Sometimes he really wondered where those thoughts came from. Somehow they just popped into his mind like they were already there or something. He was unaware that he was 'conditioned' while he slept whenever Cameron was with him.

Savannah called everyone and found out what they wanted to eat. When she went to call John, a message appeared on her phone that said Young Allison had it covered. She looked at that message for a few long moments. She wondered if it was something that Young Allison did on her own or if she was prompted to do it. She figured it didn't really matter at this point since she'd already done it. She called Young Allison and got all of the information from her as well. She didn't ask about John when Young Allison gave her the information. She didn't know if it was an unspoken challenge or if Young Allison just tried to be helpful.

CamNet monitored Savannah's calls. She placed and paid for the orders for everyone at multiple eating establishments along 'restaurant row'. All the girls would need to do was stop and pick the food up. Everything should work smoothly.

Cameron was pleased she would still be able to give the girls at least a little bit of a special dinner tonight. It wasn't what she'd planned but it would work. It seemed Skynet and its offshoot always got in the way of her plans.

She always noticed when she went out with the human females that they seemed to interact and have a better time with each other than they did around the Resistance base. The more pleased they all looked the more pleased she felt. They would usually also do some other type of activity. Usually that activity led to some type of a personal challenge that they urged her to conduct and use her Terminator abilities to their fullest But still maintain the look of a teenage female. It always pleased her immensely to do that. She figured as long as she wasn't challenged to a swimming contest or some other type of activity that involved water like surfing or diving, that she could prevail.

They stopped at five locations and picked up all the food that CamNet ordered and paid for. There was extra food from each location in case anyone wanted something that someone else liked.

Cameron looked at all the food that was inside of the SUV after the last stop.

"This is a lot of food." Cameron said.

Savannah didn't want it to be just a gathering of the humans in the commissary. She wanted to include everyone that was there at the base. She would simply set a simple stipulation that she wanted all the Terminators to follow.

"You and the Metal girls can all try a taste." Savannah said. "I want all of us to share. Variety is the spice of life."

Cameron looked at Savannah and was sure that last statement projected a double meaning.

Savannah was aware she'd 'shared' with almost all of the females and Metal girls with 'other things'. She didn't regret a second of it. She was very content with the pleasure that her body could both give and receive with another female. She still was a little wary about being with a male but she was going to give it a try no matter what. Even if it was only one time, she wanted to know what it was like. She didn't want to find out the same way Vanna did.

Cameron wanted to reaffirm Savannah's dual meaning statement. She wanted all of the females to have as much pleasure as they wanted, whenever they wanted it. She understood the value and need for a dedicated couple. As long as those relationships were 'open' there was plenty for everyone to share. At the end of the day, everyone still knew who they belonged to. Meat and potatoes was good but dessert was always a nice way to finish things off.

"I want everyone to share." Cameron said.

Savannah wanted to tell Cameron that included her too but she didn't.

Cameron thought the same thing that Savannah thought. She wanted that same thing for Savannah and Young Allison. She wanted them to be loved by everyone, both humans and Terminators. They would both have love and the personal loyalty of everyone. It wouldn't matter if they were human or a machine.

Cammy and Gail looked at each other as they drove back to the Resistance base. They both knew what Cameron meant.

Gail didn't know everything that Savannah did but she had a pretty good idea. As far as she knew, Cameron and Savannah had never been together. She didn't understand that. They clearly loved each other and wanted each other but for some reason it never seemed to occur. She'd been lucky and was able to be with Savannah once. She'd been with Savannah on other occasions to do other things and found a great amount of pleasure doing that. Savannah opened her eyes up that there was more to a relationship other than just sexual relations.

She knew it was very different from her relationship with Jesse. Everything that they did was based around sexual gratification in one form or another. She understood Jesse, like all of the girls from the future, sought sexual pleasure to escape from the reality of life. She thought it was an effective strategy. There were also the times when Jesse and her went out in search of future Scavengers. Those normally dealt with individuals who seemed to single out females for various forms of abuse. They were things that Jesse told her they couldn't talk about or tell the others.

Earlier:

Young Allison stopped by and spoke with Derek and Riley and took their order.

Samantha got Precious ready to go out. She studied Young Allison and was fascinated by her. She wondered about Young Allison. She was clearly different from Allison in many ways and identical to her in others, except for physical development. It was like the differences and similarities with Vanna and Savannah, however their physical development was almost identical.

Samantha looked forward to see the gathering of the Resistance. It would be all the humans and the normal base Terminators as well.

Ally and Sheila were given the task of taking the female prisoner to Cameron's base. Ally wasn't happy about it.

"We have to deal with this Bitch." Ally said.

Sheila didn't want Ally to be distressed over it.

"Let's just kill her." Sheila said. "We can say she tried to escape."

Ally liked that idea. The problem would be solved.

"She's going to be terminated anyway." Ally said. "At this point, what difference does it make?"

Ally drove the SUV. She glanced back and saw the captive start to stir.

"Are you going to choke her out again?" Ally asked.

Sheila looked angrily at the captive.

"I don't want to hear her mouth." Sheila said. "I didn't like what she said."

Ally knew the issue arose over the female coming around while Sheila 'checked her out'.

"That was only because you were 'examining' her." Ally said.

Sheila didn't think it was that big of a deal. She told herself she wanted to verify there were no other injuries to the female that they hadn't discovered yet. It also gave her the opportunity to get a few close up views of 'other things'.

"Everyone is different." Sheila said. "I like to see."

Ally watched Sheila do more than 'see'.

"And touch her in a few private places." Ally said.

Sheila didn't see a problem with it. She was who she was.

"I'm very hands on." Sheila said.

Young Allison called them and asked what they wanted for the party.

Ally was surprised to receive the call. She liked Young Allison's inclusiveness. They already knew about the party but didn't think that they were invited. Now they were.

"We're transporting a prisoner for interrogation. We're stuck on guard duty." Ally said. "Cameron wants us to remain with her."

Young Allison considered asking them to come and get her. She could slip away from the Resistance base and they could take her to Cameron base. Even though she was tempted, she figured she'd better not. She refrained from asking.

"I want you to come to the party." Young Allison said. "I'll ask CamNet to take care of it."

Sheila didn't want any more trouble from Cameron.

"Maybe we better take care of it instead." Sheila said. "I'm already on Cameron's 'list'. I don't need any more trouble. You'll have to party without us."

Young Allison wanted them to come. She didn't see why they needed to watch over a detainee.

"I want all the girls there." Young Allison said. "I can help with the interrogation later."

Sheila and Ally looked at each other. They didn't want that to happen. They didn't want to be the ones that were responsible for allowing Young Allison to watch an interrogation. They would take her up on her offer to get them to go to the party.

"Maybe the interrogation will happen while we're at the party." Ally said. "Someone else can deal with it."

Young Allison asked if they wanted anything specific.

Sheila couldn't help herself. She said what she wanted.

"For you to sit on my lap is all I need." Sheila said.

Ally punched Sheila in the arm. She was afraid it would unleash the fury of Cameron and Savannah on Sheila or worse, CamNet.

Sheila knew she was already in hot water. She tried to backpedal some.

"I'm just kidding." Sheila said quickly. "We'll just try a taste of a few things that are there. It never hurts anything to try a little taste."

There was a loud dull 'thud' as Ally punched Sheila in the arm.

Sheila shrugged her shoulders.

Young Allison told them not to worry and she'd take care of everything.

At this point Ally and Sheila didn't know what to expect.

Ally wanted to make sure that Sheila's com was off as was hers now.

"You're going to end up getting me deactivated as well as yourself if you don't watch it." Ally said.

The desire inside of Sheila was strong.

"I can't help it." Sheila said. "Since I examined the female captive, all of my inner desires have been awakened."

Ally didn't want any trouble from anyone.

"Just remember to tell them that when you submit to chip extraction." Ally said. "You're on your own for that one."

Claire worried she was spending too much time with Jesse and everyone else too. It seemed her clothes were off more than on anymore. It seemed that the more she was satisfied the more she wanted to be satisfied. It was like an endless circle. There were other things that she needed to attend to.

"I need to check on Summer." Claire said. "I've been neglecting her."

Jesse didn't think it was a problem. She figured in a few years Summer would be telling all of them what to do.

"I'll go with you." Jesse said. "Our Metal girlfriends will be back soon."

Claire gave Jesse a final kiss as they finished dressing.

"It looks like we're in for another round of satisfaction." Claire said.

Jesse looked Claire over.

"Life's good in Paradise." Jesse said.

Claire liked to hear what Jesse had to say about the future. The other girls weren't willing to talk about it.

"Will you tell me some more of those stories later?" Claire asked.

Jesse realized she would have to be careful which stories she told Claire. They were more than a few of them that she didn't want her to know about.

"I could." Jesse said. "Some of them are pretty intense."

Claire was able to get a look at Cameron's future when she was there to deliver Destiny for Future Allison. She was kept very isolated from what was going on outside of the Connor compound.

"I find them intriguing." Claire said. "Allison would seldom say anything about the future to me, even when I asked her."

Claire could see the pain Allison felt to relive the future.

Jesse thought there were a lot of differences between the future that Claire was in and the future that Vanna, Allison and her were in. Cameron indicated that their future was worse than hers for the females.

"The future was hard on all of us." Jesse said. "You need to remember you weren't in Allison's future. That was very hard on me too with my parents and sister all being 'taken away'."

Jesse currently kept a few photos of her family. She didn't keep much but it was something that she didn't have before. She was separated from her family because they were all sick. They all died. She didn't have anything other than memories to remember them by. That always bothered her.

"You showed me their photos before. Young Jesse and your sister are beautiful." Claire said.

Claire hoped for a three way with Savannah and Young Jesse at some point. She didn't verbalize that with Jesse. Then again Jesse would want to make it a four way.

Jesse thought of her family.

"I need to see them again." Jesse said. "You don't know what it's like to have your family back from the dead."

Claire was a little disturbed by that statement. She was one of the family members that was 'back from the dead' for Allison.

"It must be mind blowing." Claire said. "I can tell you from personal experience that it's great to still be alive."

Jesse needed to remember that as well. Claire didn't make it in their future or in Future Allison's future.

"It's mind blowing." Jesse said. "It makes me afraid it's all going to happen again and they'll all die again."

Jesse felt she needed to do more to stop Skynet.

Claire could see Jesse was a little distressed. She felt a little distressed herself.

She was painfully aware that she was dead in every 'Allison's' future. It was a sobering thought.

Claire took Jesse's hand and they headed out to find Summer.

"Well, we're all alive still." Claire said. "I intend to stay that way."

It did make Claire wonder for how long.

The Resistance group began to gather in the commissary and recreation room.

Young Allison checked to make sure everyone was there. She made sure Bob and Jim were there. John and John Henry hadn't arrived yet. She headed to the Command Center.

John saw her coming and quickly excused himself.

Young Allison smiled at him as she passed. She was going to get John Henry too.

"Come on, John Henry." Young Allison said. "Your computer self, JH, can watch everything. John isn't here to interface with. CamNet is watching things as well.

John Henry was aware that Young Allison communicated further with CamNet after the operation concluded. He wasn't sure exactly about what.

"You spoke with CamNet." John Henry said.

Young Allison wanted to get everything straightened out for the way she wanted things to be.

"You know I did. I needed to ask for her help with a couple of personnel issues." Young Allison said. "I need to be careful I don't get carried away again."

John Henry saw the way that Young Allison tried to include everyone who was at the base.

"You're very thoughtful." John Henry said.

Young Allison felt she had many teachers. She was grateful for all of them.

"I try to do what everyone has taught me and I've learned on my own." Young Allison said.

John Henry expected Anna to accompany Young Allison. This was the second time that Young Allison was in the command center without her since the operation concluded.

"Let me do a final check and communicate with CamNet." John Henry said. "Where's Anna?"

An idea popped into Young Allison's head.

"She went to wait for Savannah and Cameron to help carry all the food in." Young Allison said. "I'm going to help them too."

John Henry did the update and was satisfied everything was in order.

"I'm ready." John Henry said.

Young Allison wanted to mess with John Henry a little bit.

"Can I unplug you?" Young Allison asked.

John Henry tilted his head slightly.

"If you want to, you can." John Henry said.

Young Allison thought of sitting on his lap and face him to do it but decided not to.

She decided she would save that for another time. She might need to distract him at some point. She figured that would do it. It seemed to distract everyone else.

Young Allison moved over and touched John Henry's cheek as she carefully unplugged him. Her hand lingered on his cheek as she set the cable down.

John Henry could feel the 'allure' that Young Allison radiated. He stood and she reached out and took his hand and led him away. He really wondered what she was going to be like in a few years. He knew John wasn't going to be able to resist her.

"I will assist you with the food." John Henry said.

Young Allison saw an opportunity for a challenge.

"In that case we're going to need to race." Young Allison said.

John Henry knew he was faster than Young Allison. He wanted to remind her that he was superior.

"That wont be a fair race." John Henry said.

Young Allison looked up at him and smiled.

"For you maybe it won't be." Young Allison said. "You can't go any faster than my normal fastest speed."

John Henry realized that a severe restriction had just been placed on him.

"You're very shrewd." John Henry said.

Young Allison was no stranger to dealing with Terminators and limiting them to her ability.

"It will be fun. Try to keep up." Young Allison said. "Let's go."

Young Allison took off running down the back corridor. John Henry was caught off guard and wondered how he was going to keep up.

Young Allison looked back. She wanted to give John Henry a chance. It would make her victory sweeter.

She slowed so John Henry could catch up. The halls were empty of everyone. As they neared the carpool, Young Allison laughed and sped up. She beat John Henry to the door.

"I win." Young Allison said.

Anna saw them coming and watched them. She looked over at John Henry.

"I see she gave you the business too." Anna said.

John Henry was sure he'd been played. He reviewed the challenge and rules set forth by Young Allison. The play was in the wording, 'You can't go any faster than my normal fastest speed.' She was able to run faster than her 'normal fastest speed' for a short distance.

"Apparently…." John Henry said. "She's very cunning."

Young Allison could see the SUV approaching.

"Here they come." Young Allison said.

John Henry remembered it was all in the wording. They hadn't actually entered the carpool area yet.

"Let me get the door for you." John Henry said.

John Henry reached for the door but Young Allison slipped through as he started to open it.

"Nice try." Young Allison said.

John Henry was going to try and pull one over on Young Allison.

"You knew I was going to try and go in front of you." John Henry said.

The smile on Young Allison's face said it all.

"I gave you a chance to try anyway." Young Allison said. "I try to be fair."

Gail pulled up and Savannah exited with an armload of food.

"Take that from her." Young Allison said to John Henry.

John Henry stepped forward and did.

"Thanks." Savannah said and turned back for more food.

"Not so fast." Young Allison said.

Savannah turned back and faced her.

Young Allison moved up and gave Savannah a hug.

"I'm glad you made it back OK." Young Allison said. "I was very worried."

Savannah hugged Young Allison back.

"You watched out for us, all of us." Savannah said.

Cameron looked over and smiled. That is what she wanted to see, the bond that would be unbreakable. It was already there. It was formed on the day they first met, in any future, in any past or in the present.

The story was the same every time she'd heard it

Cameron felt very pleased now.

Very Hands On

What's a friend
What's more than a friend
At what point does one know
If there'll be a dividend

Sometimes the feelings grow slow
They happen a little by little
Away at one's heart
They began to whittle

The same person that always was
Somehow looks better and better
Loving eyes are blind to one
As a heart is held by a fetter

Maybe a hand is held
Soon the lips are kissed
The more that there is
The harder it is to resist

One thing leads to another
Closer together each is drawn
It doesn't take long
Before both are very hands on

Nobody
