Chapter 1057
Lonely Hearts Club
Sheila wanted to get it over with. She was sure Cameron sent Savannah and Young Allison to 'punish' her. Young Allison held a scalpel, she wanted Young Allison to finish it. She felt if she was going to be punished, it should be done by the 'Chosen Ones'.
"Do it." Sheila said.
Savannah and Young Allison both looked confused.
Young Allison was unsure what Sheila kept referring to. The overtones seemed rather ominous. She wanted Savannah to take over at first. Now it was time for her to speak her voice.
"Sheila, we're not here to hurt you or deactivate you." Young Allison said. "I'd never do it to you or anyone, and neither would Savannah. You know it."
Sheila tilted her head slightly. She seemed surprised. She was sure it was 'payback time'. The more she thought about it, the more Young Allison seemed correct. It wasn't the 'Chosen Ones' who would 'punish' her or deactivate her. They were the ones who would protect her. It was only Cameron who would do either of those things. She wanted to make sure.
"You're not going to punish me and then deactivate me?" Sheila asked.
Young Allison and Savannah looked at each other and wondered what Sheila was talking about. She seemed to be stuck on the idea she was to be disciplined for something. It wasn't their job. It wasn't why they were there. They were there because Sheila needed help. It was what they rendered. There was something else they wanted to do for her as well.
Savannah knew the thoughts alone could be very damaging to someone. They could leave mental scars which would last forever. It was time to get things straightened out.
"No!" Savannah said. "We came to help you."
Sheila looked at Savannah. She was aware she caused Cammy to shut down and experience problems twice in relation to it. It was only natural for someone's lover to come after the person who afflicted them.
"You're not mad about Cammy?" Sheila asked.
Savannah didn't want anything bad to happen to Sheila.
Young Allison was very confused as to why Sheila seemed so confused. It seemed to be more than whatever problems she just experienced.
Savannah and Young Allison each took a hand from Sheila and placed it on their necks as they spoke. They wanted to make it clear they spoke the truth.
"I reactivated you didn't I?" Savannah asked. "Cammy told me you experienced a problem. I came here right away along with Allison. We would have come sooner if we would have known earlier. Cammy should have told me right away. Even if I was away somewhere I would have come as soon as I found out you needed help."
Young Allison knew it was a very important subject. It was a matter of 'life and death'.
"If Savannah was unavailable, I would have come to help you." Young Allison said. "We were both here, so we both came. We care about and love all of the Resistance members. It includes the cyborgs, the humans, and all of the machines who work with us against the enemy, Skynet."
Savannah was very pleased with Allison's statement about 'all of the machines'. It was how she felt as well. It included all the machines.
"We're here to protect everyone and everything." Savannah said. "We see no difference between anyone, or anything, regardless of how they came into existence, who we serve alongside of. We will come for all of them."
Sheila scanned both of them and could tell they were truthful. It made her feel bad about what she thought they were going to do to her. Young Allison was right, they would never do it to her, or any other Terminator. The 'Chosen Ones' were there to help everyone. She would need to pass along what they said about all of the machines as well to the other cyborgs. It included the drones, HK Treads, and HK Tracks. She knew they did go to the drones which experienced minor damage before. They said they would. It was exactly what they did.
Savannah and Young Allison told Sheila why they were there, in addition to trying to reactivate her.
Sheila couldn't quite believe what she heard at first. She still scanned the girls and knew it was for real. She started to cry. She pulled Savannah and Young Allison in close to her and hugged them. They both felt her tears. She didn't cry much, but she sure was now.
"Hold out your hand and open it up." Savannah said.
Savannah reached in the cardboard envelope and took out a heart shaped gold locket. She handed it to Sheila.
Sheila held it in her hand and looked at it. The tears finally stopped. They were soon replaced with a big smile.
Savannah wanted to see her reaction when she looked inside.
"Open it." Savannah said.
Sheila opened the heart shaped locket and started to cry again when she looked inside it.
There was a picture of Cammy on one side and Ally on the other.
Savannah liked to cover all the bases. She knew people's feelings could change priorities.
"There are some other images underneath." Savannah said.
Sheila's tears stopped again. She wasn't sure exactly what she should do.
"Can I look?" Sheila asked.
Savannah reached forward and touched Sheila's cheek.
"Of course you can." Savannah said. "It's your heart. You can do anything you want with it. You don't belong to the 'Lonely Hearts Club' anymore."
Sheila carefully looked and saw the photo under Cammy was a photo of Savannah and Young Allison. The one under Ally was Cameron and John.
Savannah made a compilation photo of all of the females and one of all of the males. They were on the bottom on each side. The entire Resistance team was represented.
Sheila carefully placed the photos back inside the same way Savannah gave it to her. She hugged the girls again. Earlier she thought she was going to be disfigured and then terminated. She wanted Young Allison to do it. She saw Young Allison still held the scalpel. Now she wanted Young Allison to make the incision for her heart.
"I want you to open me up." Sheila said.
Sheila looked at Young Allison. It was a look of love.
Young Allison was thrilled to be this close to Sheila topless, with her jewelry right in front of her face. She got a good close up look. She was afraid she might touch too much. It reaffirmed her desire as much as seeing Cammy the same way before did. She wanted a set of rings in the same place. She didn't normally wear any jewelry. She would wear it in the same place as Sheila.
She didn't want to lose focus of what she was about to do. She didn't think Sheila would mind if she touched a little more than was necessary. It wasn't the issue right now. She never cut into a cyborgs sheath in the area she was about to. She knew the sheath material was much tougher than it looked from removing chips from several Terminators'.
"Savannah is going to have to show me exactly where to cut." Young Allison said. "I don't want to damage you."
Sheila took Young Allison's hand and brought it up towards her left breast.
"Here. Feel here." Sheila said.
Young Allison looked at Savannah and she nodded. She didn't want to overstep.
"Here." Sheila said. "Push here, you can feel the depression. Push a little harder. Move your fingers around the area and you will see where you need to cut."
Young Allison touched Sheila. Her sheath felt so smooth and soft. She knew it's what Jesse and Young Jesse should both feel like as well. She planned to find out one day. She hoped it was one day soon. She knew once Savannah and her shared, she would look up Vanna, and Jesse. She knew none of the cyborgs would reject her either.
Savannah didn't want Young Allison to get carried away touching Sheila's breasts. It wasn't the right setting for anything sexual, especially in front of her.
"Go ahead." Savannah said. "Make the incision. Remember you'll need to push hard."
Young Allison made the first cut. It was a little unnerving.
It opened the top layer of the sheath and drew some 'blood'.
Sheila let out a slight wince.
Young Allison drew back some. She realized Sheila could feel everything. Her pain receptors weren't off. She wanted to explain the nature of what Savannah and her were about to do. It was to be a good thing, not a bad thing.
"I don't want to hurt you." Young Allison said. "The current experience isn't about pain or hurt in any way. Please don't make it so."
Sheila did feel some pain. It was very minor but it was very exhilarating. Earlier she thought she was to be punished and was ready for the pain. Now something completely different was happening and it too was accentuated by the pain.
"You're not hurting me. If anything, you're making me feel alive. You need to cut deeper." Sheila said. "Everything is tougher than it looks, even on humans. Things which look like they would come off rather easily, are a little tougher than they look. My sheath is very much like it, but even more so."
Savannah and Young Allison knew what Sheila referred to. It gave them something to think about. It was a situation they both hoped to avoid if possible. If they ever were involved in such a scenario, it would probably indicate something horrific occurred.
Young Allison still didn't want Sheila to feel pain. She wanted to stress her point again.
"You can feel me cutting into you. It's not the experience I want to give you." Young Allison said. "I don't want to hurt you. I want to do something good for you. I want to be nice."
Sheila smiled and touched Young Allison's cheek.
"In this case it is nice. If I can feel pain, I know I'm alive. I know this is real." Sheila said. "Do it again, harder."
Young Allison cut deeper. She reached the Coltan underneath.
Savannah took out a tissue and wiped the small amount of 'blood' away.
Sheila handed Savannah the heart shaped locket.
"Pull the incision open, Allison." Sheila said.
Young Allison was a little leery about pulling open the sheath she just cut open. She did it as Savannah carefully placed the heart shaped locket into Sheila.
Young Allison released the sheath and the incision closed up over the heart.
"There, you have a heart." Savannah said.
Sheila touched the heart through her sheath. She was pretty sure this was the best moment of her existence. There were other high points along the way as well, as quite a few little ones. This one seemed to be the best one for what it represented and who the ones were who did it for her. She was given a heart by the 'Chosen Ones'.
"I won't ever forget where this came from." Sheila said as she looked at Savannah and Young Allison. "Anything either of you ever want or need, you come see me and I'll fix you up."
Young Allison saw it as a 'blank check'. She liked what she saw with Sheila up close and topless. She longed for the day when she would be able to touch Sheila as well as Young Jesse and Jesse in a sexual setting. She wanted to make sure what Sheila would actually offer her.
"Anything?" Young Allison asked.
Sheila and Young Allison held each other's gaze.
"Anything…." Sheila said. "I have something for everyone. If I know what they want and desire the most, I will provide it for them. It doesn't matter what it is."
Young Allison figured between Cammy and Sheila, they would make sure some of the things she wanted would happen.
"I'll remember it." Young Allison said.
Sheila winked at Young Allison when Savannah wasn't looking.
Savannah frowned at Young Allison but didn't say anything. She couldn't deny Young Allison the very things she did and would do again. She just didn't want Young Allison to jump the gun and get ahead of herself.
Young Allison liked the fact Savannah didn't protest. Savannah always told her they were equal. She intended to test the theory all of the way. Everything she was aware of which Savannah did, she was going to do the same thing. She didn't think the things which occurred in the other timelines would be possible, or even advisable based upon the risk factor.
Savannah wanted to put two sutures into the incision to speed the healing process.
Sheila wanted to give Young Allison another opportunity to touch her.
"Can you each put one in?" Sheila asked.
Savannah went first and put one stitch in and then Young Allison put the other one in.
Sheila moved around enough so Young Allison was able to 'cop a feel ' more than once.
Young Allison was more than pleased at the experience and being able to touch another female. She didn't see Terminators as machines. She saw them as what their sheath indicated. It indicated she was a female. It didn't matter if she was constructed instead of born.
Savannah handed Sheila her top. Before she put it on Sheila hugged Savannah and gave her a quick kiss.
Sheila looked at Young Allison and then at Savannah.
Savannah nodded.
Sheila hugged Young Allison close and gave her a kiss on the cheek.
"I'm yours for anything, anytime, and anywhere." Sheila whispered in Young Allison's ear. "You can look, touch, or use what you want. I'll do the same for you. It'll be our secret."
Young Allison looked at Sheila with wide eyes. She wanted to try all of those things.
Sheila put her top on.
Savannah handed Young Allison one more thing. She almost forgot.
Young Allison saw what it was and smiled.
"Flash us." Young Allison said. "I want to see everything again."
Sheila looked hesitant. She didn't want to blow it.
Young Allison held up a bandage.
Sheila smiled slowly. She wondered why she couldn't read the girls and what was going to happen. They fooled her several times without even actually trying to do it. She read her own worst fears into what might occur. She needed to remind herself everyone didn't have the same 'darkness' inside of them as she did. She knew she needed to take the girls at face value with what they were doing. She already scanned them and knew it was true.
She lifted her shirt up a little higher than necessary and smiled at Savannah and Young Allison. She made sure she gave them a full flash. Her shirt was pulled up well above both of her breasts. She was tempted to give them a sneak peek elsewhere as well. It wouldn't be anything new to Savannah, but it would be to Young Allison. She decided to keep it civil and not spoil the atmosphere in the room.
Young Allison placed the bandage over the incision. She almost put it on crooked since she was concentrating on Sheila's nipple rings.
Savannah wanted to keep the event quiet for now. She also wanted Sheila to use some restraint and tone it down. They still didn't know why she shut down.
"You don't need to mention this until you're healed." Savannah said. "Let me get Cammy, Ally, and Hanna. They will all want to see you're OK. You all need to take a break for a day. You know what I mean."
Sheila did know what Savannah meant. She actually thought she had toned it down. She didn't use the scalpel on anyone and hadn't added anything to her collection. She planned to do it with Cammy, Ally, and Hanna.
Young Allison was highly aroused at this point. She was never able to be so close to a female before and touch her naked flesh, even though in this case it was a naked sheath. It was still living organic material which could receive sensation and experience both pain and pleasure, it was basically the same thing.
'I want to look like her.' Young Allison thought.
She was very aware of how the pigmentation was much different than hers. It was what she saw in numerous images she viewed. She knew it would most likely carry over to elsewhere as well. She looked forward to the day she could find out. Everyone was different. She knew Savannah, the other timeline versions of her, and the cyborgs based on her DNA ,were all at the opposite end of the scale. There was no dark pigmentation whatsoever. Everything was very pink.
Savannah opened the door. Cammy and Hanna came in. She noticed they were one Metal girl short. She looked out into the hallway and didn't see anyone. She wanted to know what was up.
"Where's Ally?" Savannah asked. "I wanted to see her."
Cammy rushed over to Sheila and gave her a tight hug and finally a kiss.
Hanna could see Cammy was preoccupied. She wasn't sure if she really wanted to answer the questions Savannah and Young Allison were going to ask. She believed she was a good judge of any 'Savannah Weaver' and 'Allison Young'. It didn't really matter which version of them it was. The 'Neural Interface' with Vanna and her long term exposure to both of them, especially Young Allison, only further was an indication of what she believed.
"She went back to her room." Hanna said. "She thinks she's going to be deactivated. She didn't want anyone to see it happen. I told her it wasn't going to happen. She still thinks it is."
Young Allison felt a little uneasy. She wondered why they all seemed to think the worst was going to happen to them. It was clear Sheila thought the same thing was going to happen. She really wondered what kind of thoughts went through the Metal girl's minds at times. She didn't want to be thought of as an 'executioner'. She was around Hanna all the time in Palmdale. They interacted quite frequently.
"Does she really think it's what's going to happen?" Young Allison asked. "I hope I don't radiate the feeling of doom to everyone. I know I'm not an Angel, but I sure don't want to be seen as the 'Angel Of Death'."
Hanna was around Young Allison all of the time in Palmdale. She thought she understood Young Allison very well. She also visited her at times as she slept and helped 'condition' her.
"Ally does believe it." Hanna said. "I know you better than that."
Savannah told Hanna to go to Sheila and reassure her.
"Go see Sheila." Savannah said. "She wants comfort right now. See if you can find out anymore about what happened to her when the time is right. I don't think right now is the time to ask. I would like to know more so we can help prevent it from afflicting her or any others."
Hanna nodded and rushed over and hugged Sheila as well.
Savannah wanted to give them some advice before she left.
"I think you all will use some 'restraint' in the future. It applies to all of you." Savannah said. "I want every one of you to think of something first. I want you to think about us. Treat each other as you would Young Allison or me."
The three Metal girls all looked at each other since Young Allison's name was tossed out there in such a manner. They all said they were sorry for the problems they caused.
Savannah was satisfied everything was under control in Sheila's room. It seemed to her everything which occurred was unnecessary. If the Metal girls used a little moderation, none of what happened, would have happened. The part where Sheila got her heart would have still happened anyway though.
"Let's go." Savannah said.
Young Allison took one look back as they exited the room. She could see how Cammy, Hanna, and Sheila were all over each other. She couldn't see them as machines, even if she knew they were. She thought they all acted like human females. She remembered what Savannah said the Terminators were actually more like 'mechanical humans' than anything at this point. She followed alongside Savannah.
"Are we headed to Ally's room?" Young Allison asked.
Savannah wanted to get things straightened out as quickly as possible. She didn't want any funny business, or to make anybody act rashly when they didn't need to.
"Yes." Savannah said.
Young Allison looked back at Sheila's room. She knew one day she was going to be with all of them. She was also going to be with their human counterparts. She knew one of those human counterparts was 'herself' through a number of various renditions. The thought didn't bother her at all.
Cameron led John to their room. She opened the door and pulled John inside.
They proceeded to quickly strip each other.
Cameron looked at John with hungry eyes.
"Don't stop." Cameron said.
John could tell right away they weren't going to relive their wedding night right now. Cameron was clearly ready for action. It was OK with him.
"I haven't even started yet." John said.
Cameron wanted John to start in on her right way. As soon as he pulled his pants off, she reached over and groped him.
"Oh my, that's a big one." Cameron said. "You're ready."
John looked down and saw he was ready for business. 'Little Willie' was good to go. It looked like there would be no foreplay.
"How do you want it?" John asked.
Cameron threw back the sheets. She would accommodate John in any way. It didn't matter who did what to whom. If she needed to perform she would, in any way he desired.
"Surprise me." Cameron said. "I want whatever you do. I'm yours."
John was more than a little surprised at how anxious Cameron was to be with him. It normally wasn't the case. Not like this anyway. He wasn't going to complain. She just gave him a 'blank check' as to what he could do.
Earlier:
Ally, Cammy, and Hanna were outside Sheila's room. Savannah asked them to wait there while she dealt with Sheila.
Ally didn't like leaving Sheila, but she did what Savannah asked. She wasn't sure why they needed to leave. Maybe they were going to deactivate Sheila for what she did to Cammy. She remembered how Savannah was all over her last night for touching Young Allison inappropriately. Cammy was Savannah's cyborg lover. It looked like there were two strikes against her right now. She knew what was inevitable.
"I can't take it." Ally said. "They're going to come for me next."
Cammy looked at Ally with a questioning look.
"What are you talking about?" Cammy asked. "The girls are here to help Sheila."
Ally thought otherwise.
"I saw Savannah was packing heat." Ally said. "I'm pretty sure it's not how someone says, 'Hello'."
Cammy knew it was correct since Savannah showed her the Taser.
"It's a precaution in case Sheila has an additional problem when she's reactivated." Cammy said. "Cameron has experienced extreme reactions before under similar circumstances.
Ally was still worried about how she upset Savannah. She knew there was no place she could run. She was going to be deactivated. She didn't want other people to see it happen. Savannah asked them to reduce their hearing. She wondered if that was so they wouldn't hear what happened to Sheila.
"I'm out of here." Ally said and took off.
Cammy and Hanna felt Ally overreacted as she walked away.
"I want to see what happens with Sheila." Hanna said.
Cammy watched Ally walk away.
"Me too." Cammy said. "It's not going to be anything bad."
Wait.
Could she hear crying inside? She looked in the direction Ally went. She wondered if she heard it as well before she left. She may have restored her hearing back to Terminator capabilities.
Later on:
Ally was in her room. She thought about pleasuring herself one last time, but just didn't feel like it. She was ready to accept her fate. If Cameron sent Savannah and Young Allison to do it, it was to send a message to all the other Terminators the 'Chosen Ones' held the power of 'life or death' in their hands.
Her left hand began to glitch now. It wasn't something which normally happened to her.
She was sure they were going to come and deactivate her. It seemed like an eternity. She hoped they wouldn't make a spectacle of her and just do it quietly. She hoped they would do it like they did to Sheila. No one else was there to see what occurred, or how it was done. She turned up her hearing slightly and could hear someone crying inside the room. She knew it was Sheila. More than likely she was 'punished' before she was terminated.
Ally was afraid she pushed Savannah too far with Young Allison previously. Now with the trouble with Sheila, she knew she was finished. She wasn't there when Sheila caused Cammy to have a problem. She didn't think it would matter. She would be punished for it anyway since she was associated with Sheila rather closely.
She heard footsteps in the hall. There were two sets of them. They were human footfalls. They grew closer and then they stopped. They were outside her door. She could feel the glitch impulse increase. This was it.
There was a soft knock.
She didn't say anything. The end was near. The glitch intensified.
The knock came again, louder.
KNOCK - KNOCK - KNOCK
She might as well face the music. Now she just wanted it over. She wanted to terminate with some honor. She didn't want to cower and beg for her life. It's not how she wanted to go out. There were quite a few individuals she terminated on Cameron's 'off the books' operations who did exactly that. She thought it was pathetic. The people should have known they were going to die no matter what. They needed to atone for their sins. Now it was her turn.
'Stop fooling around and get it over with.' Ally thought.
"Come in." Ally said.
Savannah walked in followed by Young Allison.
Ally saw Young Allison with a bloody scalpel in her hand.
She knew they must have deactivated Sheila. Now it really was her turn.
GAME OVER.
Before the girls could speak, she needed to say something. She wanted Young Allison to deactivate her. It would be her final way to apologize.
"I want Allison to do it." Ally said. "She did it before."
Savannah and Young Allison looked at each other. What did they look like? Did they look like executioners?
"Not this again." Young Allison said and then flashed a smile. "I'd like you to remove your top."
Ally wondered if they were going to disfigure her before they deactivated her. She thought it was cruel. She thought if Young Allison did it, it would be like she was doing it to herself since they shared the same DNA. She was pretty sure it would make the attack even worse. She was aware how Cameron felt about herself at times. Maybe it was actually a carryover from every version of Allison Young. If there was any self loathing, it would be taken out on her.
"Please just get it over with." Ally said.
Savannah and Young Allison looked at each other with a little dismay.
They each took one of Ally's hands and placed it on their neck.
Savannah looked Ally in the face.
"We're not here to hurt you or deactivate you." Savannah said. "I also want to tell you Sheila is fine and seems to have made a full recovery. Cammy and Hanna are both with her right now."
Ally was glad to hear it. She thought maybe she should have asked it first when she saw the girls. She assumed otherwise. It's why she didn't ask.
Young Allison smiled at Ally.
"We both love you, Ally." Young Allison said. "It's why we're here. We would never do anything to hurt you."
Ally could tell they were being truthful. Maybe they wanted something else.
"Do you still want me to take my top off?" Ally asked.
Savannah glanced at Young Allison and then looked back at Ally.
"Yes." Savannah said.
Young Allison was more than ready to look at Ally topless. It's exactly what she was going to look like very soon. She wanted to see if it was already the same. If there was no difference, she would just ask Cameron to tell everyone they went into the past for whatever time period everyone thought it should be, and return back to the base as if she was older.
Ally hoped maybe Savannah was going to allow Young Allison to touch her to see and feel exactly what she would look like. She didn't have a problem with it. She would offer to take her pants off as well to give Young Allison a look at everything. If she wanted to touch things, it was OK too.
Ally removed her top.
Young Allison took in her breasts.
"You're beautiful, Ally." Young Allison said.
They all knew one day soon Young Allison would look just like her.
Savannah wanted to move things along.
"Hold out your hand." Savannah said. "Palm up."
Ally briefly wondered if they were going to slit her palm and theirs, and become 'Blood Sisters'. She remembered a movie where some Native Americans did it with some settlers. She didn't know if it was based on fact or not. For humans it seemed like it would be an easy way to transmit different types of diseases. She didn't think it would make a difference if they were viral or bacterial. Hygiene didn't look like it was on the top of anyone's list in the older time periods.
Young Allison wanted it to be a total surprise. She knew there were other ways a Terminator could 'see', even with their eyes closed.
"Close your eyes." Young Allison said. "No peeking or other vision spectrums either."
Ally eyed the bloody scalpel in Young Allison's hand.
She closed her eyes and held her palm up.
Ally waited for the slice. Instead she felt something placed in her hand.
"Close your hand very gently." Savannah said. "Keep it closed."
Ally did. She wasn't sure what was in her hand. It was metallic.
"Open your eyes and look at us." Young Allison said.
Ally opened her eyes and was met with two smiling faces. How could she ever think these two sweet girls would ever harm her? She knew Sheila wasn't a good influence on her for all the 'bad' things she feared might happen. She probably watched Sheila in action more than she should have. It was just hard to turn away as Sheila dished out the punishment to those who deserved it, especially those in the sex traffic trade.
"If you could have one thing you don't already have, Ally, what would it be?" Savannah asked.
Ally looked at Young Allison first.
She then touched next to her left breast. She didn't say anything out loud.
There was one thing Ally wanted given through love. She didn't want to belong to the 'Lonely Hearts Club' any longer.
"Open your hand." Young Allison said.
Ally slowly opened her outstretched hand. She couldn't believe what she saw.
"Is this for me?" Ally asked.
Both of the girls smiled at her.
"Yes." Savannah and Young Allison both said.
Ally started to cry.
She reached for Savannah and Young Allison and hugged both of them.
"Open it." Savannah said.
Ally opened it and there was a photo of Sheila on one side and Hanna on the other.
"There are others underneath." Savannah said.
Ally carefully looked.
"You and Allison are here too." Ally said.
The photos in Ally's locket were the same as the ones in Sheila's to include the entire group.
"We all are." Young Allison said.
Savannah tried to arrange each person's locket the way she thought they would like to have it.
"You can change it or leave it how it was." Savannah said. "I thought about it carefully, where to place each photo."
Ally was very pleased with how it originally was.
"I'll leave it how you gave it to me." Ally said. "Will you put it in for me?"
Savannah wanted to do it the same way that they'd done with Sheila.
"We will." Savannah said.
Ally looked at Savannah and then turned her attention to Young Allison. She still held the scalpel in her hand.
"Can you do the incision?" Ally asked Young Allison.
Young Allison was pleased she would be able to touch Ally to make the incision. She knew she would need to push much harder this time.
"Are you ready?" Young Allison asked. "I don't want this to hurt."
Ally decided to leave her pain receptors on at the last moment. She was going to turn them off but she wanted to remember this moment. She wanted to feel alive as she received her heart.
"It won't." Ally said.
Young Allison made the incision in one try this time. She could see Ally wince a little.
Savannah wondered if she needed to 'order' the Terminators to turn off their pain receptors before the incision. She understood they wanted to feel alive but there were ways other than pain to do it.
"Not you too…." Savannah said.
As Young Allison touched Ally, she knew it would be like touching 'herself'.
"I feel like I'm cutting into myself." Young Allison said.
Ally still felt the pain.
"I can verify it was me." Ally said.
Young Allison wanted to install Ally's heart since they shared the same DNA.
"Can I put it in this time?" Young Allison asked.
Savannah wanted to double check everything was satisfactory.
"Sure." Savannah said. "Are the photos how you want them, Ally?"
Ally smiled and handed the locket to Young Allison.
"Yes." Ally said. "Your arrangement was beautiful."
Savannah held the incision open this time.
Young Allison smiled and inserted the heart shaped locket into Ally.
Ally was very pleased.
"I have a heart now. It's a present, a gift from the 'Chosen Ones'." Ally said.
Savannah wanted it to be more personal than some title she wasn't even sure of what it actually meant.
"It's not the 'Chosen Ones'. It's from two people who think about you and love you." Savannah said. "It's us as girls."
Young Allison wanted it to be personal as well.
"It's from two people who care about you deeply." Young Allison said.
Savannah let Young Allison place both stitches in this time and wiped away any 'blood'. She was sure Young Allison was able to 'cop a feel' more than once on Ally.
Ally picked her shirt up. She was about to put it back on.
Savannah was going to tell Ally to wait but Young Allison motioned for her to not say anything.
Ally put her top back on and smiled at the girls.
"Flash me." Young Allison said. "Flash us."
Ally looked at Savannah who nodded back to her it was OK.
Young Allison held out the bandage.
Ally lifted her top and flashed the girls.
Young Allison put the bandage on.
Ally pulled down her top and smoothed it out. She developed a set of pokies with all the excitement.
Young Allison noticed. It was something which happened to her more and more frequently now. She could see Ally was much more prominent than she was. It gave her something to look forward to. She wondered when the best time to put the rings on would be. Maybe she would ask Ally to do one each way and see how it turned out the best. She could always ask Cameron too.
Ally wanted to make a personal commitment to both of the girls. What they did was very personal from them to her. She wanted to make a similar offer.
"I won't ever forget what you both have done here." Ally said as she looked at Young Allison and Savannah. "Anything either of you ever want or need, you come see me and I'll take care of you."
Young Allison could see another 'blank check' on the way.
"Anything?" Young Allison asked.
Young Allison and Ally held each other's gaze.
"Anything…." Ally said.
Young Allison looked directly into Ally's eyes.
"I'll remember that." Young Allison said.
Savannah shook her head slightly. Young Allison never gave up.
"Go see Sheila." Savannah said. "I want you to take it easy for a day until you heal."
Savannah didn't want what was done advertised.
"You don't need to mention this until you're healed." Young Allison said.
Ally thanked and hugged both of them. She gave Savannah a kiss and Young Allison a kiss on the cheek. She then hurried away to find Sheila.
Young Allison gave Savannah a tight close hug and then looked into her eyes.
"Thank you for allowing me to be a part of this." Young Allison said. "This is very thoughtful, loving, and meaningful to the girls. It's just like the Tin Man in the Wizard Of Oz. It is extremely personal for each of them to have a heart."
Savannah smiled and kissed Young Allison on the cheek. She was busy at the jewelry store when she was there.
"We're not done yet." Savannah said. "Let's go back to my room."
Closing monologue by Cameron:
Lonely Hearts Club
Everyone wants their heart
The find love and beat true
And not be sidetracked
By some kind of miscue
The first attraction
Is usually something physical
It can be reinforced
By something whimsical
Those are the responses
That nature has programmed
It doesn't take very long
Until everything is damned
Two on one path
Seldom stay aligned
Sooner rather than later
Things become maligned
Feelings will be stubbed
One will soon the other snub
It quickly becomes apparent
It's back to the lonely hearts club
Nobody
