Chapter 1095

I Can Drag It

Cameron still wasn't sure about showing the girls what to do with the nuclear weapons. It bothered her greatly as to what all the implications were. They would be catastrophic.

She went over all the arming procedures for the nuclear bomb. She explained all of the ones she possessed were now fitted with the same interface to activate them, except the older Nike warheads. They were among the oldest nuclear weapons in her arsenal.

Savannah was there when Cameron used one of the Nike warheads in her future. Even though it was in the past for her because it already occurred, technically because it was in the future, it didn't actually occur yet. it didn't really matter what the semantics were. It was a close one.

The drone the weapon was strapped to would follow the commands of Savannah or Young Allison as to where it was to go when the bomb needed to be moved. The command assumed its use was imminent.

Young Allison felt some concern for the drones 'selected' to transport a nuclear weapon. More than likely they were part of the delivery system and would remain so until the weapons detonation. They would be vaporized when the weapon detonated.

"Will the drones be able to get far enough away to survive once they've released their nuclear weapons?" Young Allison asked. "I don't want it to be destroyed doing my bidding."

Savannah pondered the same question as well. She remembered how the drone which delivered the Nike warhead chose to remain with them in the mine. It was unarmed, but it used its mass and power cell to help defend the mission. It slammed into a group of Grays and Terminators who tried to come out of another shaft to engage them. The drone knocked them all back inside the shaft and then overloaded its power cell, exploded, and collapsed the shaft. It was a decision the drone made on its own.

She asked Cameron about it later on. In technical terms the drones used in her future which were involved in the operation were all destroyed. They all fought until their ammunition was expended. All of them overloaded their power cell at the end to destroy as many of the Skynet forces as possible. She wanted to know if it was 'self termination'.

Cameron told her she didn't know. She didn't think it was the same thing. She believed the drones used every means at their disposal to defend both of them to ensure the mission's success. Their final act against the enemy was to overload their power cells and create a massive explosion. She knew it was the same for the two male Terminators known as Bob and Rob in her future. They did the same thing. Cameron told her they did it because she entered the combat zone on her own when she didn't need to. She could have left with Cammy. Cammy needed to conduct a temporal mission. She chose to stay with Cameron.

She wanted to make sure there was no coercion.

"I want all the drones involved with the nuclear weapons to be volunteers." Savannah said. "It is highly doubtful the mission will end with anything other than termination for them."

Cameron smiled faintly to herself. She would anticipate no less from the 'Chosen Ones' in regard to all of the Resistance machines. They cared about their survival as well. They were very thoughtful.

"I made the option available to all of them at the start of the program." Cameron said. "Every drone volunteered for the specific duty. Each of them wants to serve alongside the 'Chosen Ones' in battle. They all understand the mission and the finality of it."

Young Allison thought the information should make her feel a little 'better'. It didn't. Maybe it was the finality of it all. A one way ticket was a one way ticket. She realized the same thing could apply to Savannah and her. It was already a ticket Cameron was willing to use more than once with a nuclear weapon.

Savannah understood the magnitude of what they were doing there. There was enough destructive power there to cause a world war between nations with strategic detonation of one of the weapons over another nation's capital. It was one of the tactics used in the future to get nations to attack each other. For those nations with the ability to do so, nuclear weapons were delivered by aircraft. Those were the nuclear weapons Skynet had the least control over as to their actual deployment. Even if Skynet selected a target for the aircraft, it might not play out as intended. An aircraft could be attacked on the way to its target, and seek a target of opportunity instead. It was a lot to think about.

"This is a lot of responsibility and power." Savannah said.

Young Allison understood it as well. She wanted to point out what was always a part of her training. It was something Cameron and Savannah both taught her.

"With great power comes great responsibility." Young Allison said.

Savannah knew Young Allison was more likely to 'push it' than she was. She was aware Young Allison was very caring in what she did to protect the team and knew her actions could, and did, kill others. Those killed were the enemy. They were either a threat or a potential threat in the future.

She wondered if it was because of Young Allison or her why Cameron was reluctant to show them the bombs earlier. She wanted to know the answer. She didn't know if Cameron tried to protect one of them more than the other.

"Why did you hesitate to show us these before?" Savannah asked. "It's why we were really here in the first place. Is it because both of us are here at the same time?"

Cameron looked at the two girls. Savannah faced death with her many times. Savannah even stayed to perish with her before when she could have left. She didn't go. Savannah stood her ground and showed her love. She needed to suppress another glitch impulse. It still bothered her to remember how she watched the energy bubble form behind Savannah. It was Savannah's ticket to go home. Savannah never even turned around to look at it. She only looked directly at her. Soon the energy bubble was gone. So was Savannah's future for all practical purposes. Savannah stayed to terminate with her. Savannah told her she would never leave her or abandon her. When the end was near, Savannah held true to her word.

Savannah's act of bravery and expression of love, meant a great deal to her. She made sure every Terminator and machine knew how far Savannah was willing to go. Every Terminator and machine was willing to go as far for Savannah and Young Allison. She needed to refocus.

"It was why we came here. I don't want either of you to die like that. The more I thought of what using one meant, the more I didn't want it to happen." Cameron said. "I know what it's like to face the end this way."

Savannah felt the destruction of Skynet was paramount.

"I was there too for one of them." Savannah said. "We needed to defeat Skynet. It's what we did. Everyone sacrifices for John Connor. It doesn't matter what timeline it's in."

Cameron and Savannah both looked at Young Allison.

Young Allison knew the drill. She trained for the protection of the future her entire known life. She wouldn't back down if the future depended on her.

"We'll all do what we need to do, when we need to do it." Young Allison said. "I swear it."

Cameron and Savannah didn't doubt her one bit. Young Allison was the product of all of them. Her duties and responsibilities were to be much more than warming John's bed. There were plenty of others who could serve the same function. It's most likely how it would play out going forward.

The other nuclear weapon there was a 'backpack nuke'. It was identical to the one Duplicate Cameron used.

It looked like Savannah could move it on her own.

Savannah went over to it and tried to move it. She struggled to move it. It was heavier than it looked. To actually pick it up would require a lot of her strength. She was sure in a situation where she needed to deploy the weapon, she would be pumped full of adrenaline. It would give her the extra strength to be able to transport it.

"It weighs a lot." Savannah said. "It's heavier than it looks. There are other ways to deal with it. I can drag it. If it was strapped to my back I would be able to go a short distance with it. I could probably put it on my back from a sitting position, roll over to my knees and stand up with it, especially if there was some type of support. I can do it."

Cameron looked at the two girls. She didn't want to say it, but she did.

"The two of you will be able to move it, place it and detonate it." Cameron said.

Cameron lifted it with one hand.

There should be a Terminator with the girls if they were in a scenario where one of the weapons needed to be used. If there wasn't a Terminator, then it's probably why they would need to use it. If the situation ever came down to such an extreme level of response, it would clearly indicate bad news for everyone involved. The main goal would be to destroy whatever version of Skynet it was.

"I would hope there would be a Terminator with you if you needed to use this." Cameron said. "A fit human male would be able to move it on his own easier. It was designed to be able to be used in such a fashion. Females weren't on the battlefield when they were first deployed."

Young Allison didn't want Cameron to contemplate the issue.

"We'll cross the bridge when we come to it." Young Allison said. "Everyone will follow their training and do whatever needs to be done. I swear it."

Cammy looked at Savannah. She cared deeply about her as well as Young Allison. The entire nature of the conversation was extremely disturbing to her. They were basically talking about an end of life event for either one or both of the girls. She didn't think it was anything the teenage girls needed to worry about. She could also see both of the girls were committed to everything they just told Cameron.

"I hope it never comes to it." Cammy said.

Savannah knew from personal experience sometimes the hard choice needed to be made.

"It may, Cammy." Savannah said. "We've been to places where things like this needed to be done. There was no other way."

Cammy was there when Savannah went to blow up the power supply for Skynet in Cameron's future with a Thermite grenade. She would have died in the process. The giant power cell was like a nuclear weapon when it exploded. Savannah was going to do it anyway until she showed up at the last moment. Savannah was going to do her job no matter what the cost was. The price would have been her life.

Cameron wanted to make sure the weapons were used last, not first.

"These weapons are for when all else has failed." Cameron said. "Hopefully there will be some other way or method to bring Skynet down.

Savannah wanted Cameron to heed her own words.

"I want you to remember it's a two way street." Savannah said. "I know how it works too."

Cameron quickly looked at Savannah and Young Allison. She knew they would follow her lead. She didn't want to set a bad example. She knew in her future she was damaged and couldn't leave on her own. She intended to leave with Savannah if she could have. Instead Savannah stayed. Duplicate Cameron needed to get to where Skynet was deep in the Earth. Skynet blocked her path of retreat by collapsing the tunnels, shafts, and passageways which prevented her escape. Luckily a temporal rescue mission was initiated both times and everyone made it out OK, except Skynet.

"It's a two way street." Cameron said. "I will heed my own advice."

Young Allison trained Summer to replace her if she didn't make it. She would meet the challenge. Both of them would.

"We'll make Skynet pay." Young Allison said.

Cameron hugged Savannah and Young Allison both at the same time. She knew both of the girls would do what was necessary, if it ever was. John and the future would be protected.

There was something she wanted to make clear to the Metal girls. Cameron looked at Cammy and Anna. She didn't say anything but all three of them understood they were to act on behalf of the girls if at all possible. Cammy and Anna both nodded slightly. They would trade their existence for the girls' lives if they could. The true test of love was sacrifice.

She knew every Terminator and every piece of machinery the Resistance controlled would try to put themselves in front of the girls whenever possible. Any Terminator would manually detonate the nuclear weapon if it was ever necessary. There was still the chance the girls would be alone and face a hard choice. It appeared they were ready to make the hard choice.

Cameron said they would fly back on a different route and she would show them the location of two of the other nuclear weapon drone bombs. They wouldn't land but they would be shown the location before it was dark. The other locations would need to be visited at a later date. She could show them on a satellite map enhanced with up to date drone images where the others were for now.

"Let's go." Cameron said.

It was a somber mood they all felt.

Savannah and Young Allison did a quick inspection of the Iroquois. Everything looked good. Savannah climbed into the copilot's seat and asked Young Allison to tell her everything again on how to start the helicopter up. Young Allison correctly told her the entire startup procedure.

"You're getting good at this." Savannah said.

Young Allison felt it was all second nature to her.

"I'm a quick learner." Young Allison said.

Cameron didn't like the implications of everything they went over. She knew John needed to be protected and she knew the future needed to be protected. She knew the 'Chosen Ones' wouldn't let her down. She wouldn't let them down either given the opportunity. She took the risk herself on more than one occasion. She would do it again if the need arose.

Savannah checked the gauges and instruments one more time. She looked around here and above her. She kicked up the power and took off.

The five of them left and didn't look back.

The Iroquois 'chopped' its way across the sky.

John was worried some of the vehicles used in the recon and surveillance operation may have been compromised. There was nothing to indicate it specifically, but he didn't want to take any chances.

They didn't understand the nature of the target and its sanitized condition. They were sure it was a ploy to lure others in. He didn't know what hidden surveillance was around the area. There could be hidden operatives as well. At the last location associated with the Fanatics, someone was hidden and command detonated the building. Cameron, Cammy, and Savannah barely escaped.

John Henry watched all the teams disengage. They were followed up until the vehicle swaps were complete.

"All the teams have withdrawn and switched out their vehicles." John Henry said.

John was still unsure about all of it. He wanted to rely on the surveillance and the drone scans once it became dark. Everyone seemed to have an uneasy feeling about the location.

"Let's hope we won't have to go back there." John said.

John Henry wanted to reassure him everything would be covered.

"Later tonight we'll have a drone come in low and scan for anything." John Henry said.

John wondered if maybe they should have a drone hit it with a missile or two anyway. He would bring it up a little later on. It seemed too early to do it right now. It normally wouldn't be the first choice by him. He liked to use the drones as little as possible, especially in the city. At an outlying location he didn't mind as much doing it. He tried to keep things as low key as possible.

"I hope it turns out to be nothing." John said. "Whatever was there is gone."

John Henry didn't think the current status of the building mattered as much as what the previous status of the building was. So far anything along those lines remained elusive.

"The question still remains as to what it was, and where did it go?" John Henry asked.

John wanted some more past intel. It was always hard to come up with.

"We need to go over all the surveillance cameras from around the area." John said. "I know you're already doing it."

John Henry already started the procedure. He also looked at any satellite photos that they could come up with.

"I am." John Henry said. "CamNet is working on it also."

John hoped it turned out they already dealt with what was ever there elsewhere. Maybe it was at some previous location they already encountered.

"If we are lucky, whatever was there will have ended up at the port or some other location we've hit in the last few weeks." John said.

Both John and John Henry doubted they would be lucky.

When it came to luck, it seemed it was always 'bad luck'.

Once it was clear Cam and the teams were no longer in imminent danger, Vanna and Allison thanked John and John Henry as they left the Command Center.

They didn't think they overstayed their welcome. It was the way they felt the last time they were there.

"I'm still worried about them." Vanna said.

Allison was as well.

"I think they've taken every precaution possible at this point." Allison said. "Where are we going now?"

Vanna felt she neglected her duties and spent too much time with the 'new arrivals' at the base. She didn't want to say it specifically in front of Allison since one of them was her mother. She tried to spend as much time with Claire, Holly, and Hanna as she could. She didn't know how long they were going to be at the base.

She normally didn't have as much access to the three of them. The one which was always the hardest for her to be with was Claire. She didn't like to make Allison feel bad. Claire and her enjoyed sharing with each other. There was always a natural attraction between the two of them. It was still hard for her to view Claire as Allison's 'mother' since Claire was younger than she was. It was all a mind trip.

"I need to go to the lab." Vanna said. "I have a few things I've been working on over the last few days I need to finish up. I've been busy doing 'other things' longer than I should have been doing them."

Allison smiled at her. She was all over Vanna recently.

"I'm sorry. It's my fault." Allison said. "I'm trying to make up for lost time."

Vanna was glad Allison said it. She would just leave it there and not get into any other details.

They reached the lab and Vanna checked on her projects. She was surprised at what she found. She double checked everything again.

"They're all done." Vanna said.

Allison looked around the lab. Everything was neat, tidy, and spotless.

"Really?" Allison asked.

Vanna figured the Metal girls wanted her to have more time with Allison. She didn't think about the fact how with Allison and Claire tied up all the time, there was more 'free time' for the Metal girls when they weren't engaged in any sexual activity. The time they would normally spend with their human charges was being filled by others. It appeared they didn't like to be idle or think about what was really happening.

"The Metal girls must have done them for me." Vanna said.

Vanna usually didn't need anyone to assist her. She was glad everything was taken care of, but it did make her feel a little guilty she didn't do everything herself.

To Allison the answer seemed obvious.

"They don't sleep." Allison said. "They're always looking out for us."

Vanna and Allison were aware their cyborg girlfriends were more than protectors or lovers. They were there for everything, and they were excellent at it.

Allison previously was sure she was going to need help from her mother and Holly with her baby. It was clear now Vanna was all she would need for it. It would be her true love and their family.

Vanna needed to show her appreciation to the Metal girls.

"I'm going to need to thank Cam." Vanna said.

Allison wondered if their encounter with CamNet was a contributing factor. She still found the experience somewhat strange but was very appreciative it was allowed to happen. It truly was something special.

"Do you think CamNet tells them to do things like this too?" Allison asked.

Vanna was aware until recently CamNet always stayed in the background.

"If they were to miss something, maybe she would." Vanna said. "CamNet likes to play it 'low key'."

Allison thought she noticed a change recently. She was aware of what went on in the Young bunker. She wasn't usually a part of it, but sometimes she was.

"It may have been true before Young Allison started to get more involved." Allison said. "CamNet seems much more active and openly participating more."

Vanna thought about it. It did seem to be the case.

"It's true." Vanna said.

It made Allison wonder what the real reason was for CamNet to want to see Vanna and her in person. She hoped CamNet was not seeing if they would make suitable 'replacements' for Savannah and Young Allison if something were to happen to them. It was a question which bothered her. She wanted a better answer. Maybe she just wanted an answer.

"Why do you think CamNet really 'invited' us over to see her?" Allison asked.

Vanna wondered about it too. She knew of Young Allison's 'crush' on CamNet and CamNet's 'crush' on Young Allison. She figured it was more than a 'crush' too. She always thought CamNet was 'checking out' Allison first hand to 'fill in' for Young Allison. She never said anything about it to anyone, except Savannah. She didn't mention it to Allison either.

"I think she wanted to see how Savannah and Young Allison 'turned out'." Vanna said.

Allison wasn't sure if it was a good thing. She didn't think there was anything special about her. She was only the older version of Young Allison, as Vanna was of Savannah. Their life experiences were totally different and would be totally different going forward for their younger selves.

"Is that so she can make more changes in their lives?" Allison asked.

Vanna sure hoped not. She watched all the training Savannah was put through. A lot of it bothered her immensely. The combat Savannah was subjected to bothered her even more. When she saw some of the near death experiences Savannah went through, it only disturbed her further.

"I would say she made plenty of changes in their lives, Cameron has too." Vanna said.

They both knew Cameron was responsible for almost all the changes in their lives.

"I think it's all for the better and the protection of the future." Allison said. "I hope so anyway."

As they spoke, a monitor on the lab server turned on.

"Look at this." Vanna said.

Allison wondered if they said too much. They were aware there was a lot of surveillance around the base.

"Is it CamNet?" Allison asked. "I know she's everywhere."

Vanna didn't know what was happening.

"Let's go see." Vanna said.

Allison tried to think of some of the things she said in the lab as well as in the Command Center. She was worried she may have been a little too opinionated. It was something she was known for. She was sure nothing they actually said was detrimental to anyone. She believed it was factual whatever it was. She didn't want any problems.

"I hope we're not in trouble." Allison said.

Vanna knew CamNet was actually a clone of Cameron in reality. CamNet expanded far beyond the programming of any Terminator. She actually expanded beyond John Henry's server. She wanted to see if CamNet 'hit' on Allison if it was. She was more than willing to 'share' Allison with CamNet as long as CamNet was willing to share with her as well. She would make sure CamNet knew they were a 'package deal' in case it led anywhere interesting….

Jesse took Precious into the nursery to give Derek and Riley some alone time and privacy to process everything Riley learned at the doctor's office. She thought it was a pretty heavy 'trip' for any female. She also envied Riley in the fact she was actually able to have a baby. It wasn't something she wanted to think about right now. She knew Young Jesse or her mother would step up for her if she asked them.

Her mother could carry her embryo the same way Claire did for Allison. It wouldn't be her first choice. She didn't want the child to be from her body if possible. She felt she was too flawed and tainted. She wanted the genetic material to be from Young Jesse. Young Jesse said she wouldn't have a problem doing it. She didn't intend to be a mother anytime soon on her own. She already did it once for Duplicate Jesse 'in some future'. The only thing Young Jesse wanted in return was a traditional conception. She knew it would be up to Cameron. She didn't think John would have a problem with it, especially since Young Jesse was never with a male before.

Samantha was about to go into standby. Jesse asked her to come to the nursery. She wasn't sure why.

"Is there something you want to discuss?" Samantha asked.

Jesse thought she might 'advertise' some. She wanted to get to know Samantha a little better. She liked the fact her sheath was Resequencing to the appearance of Claire.

"No, love." Jesse said. "I just wanted to hang out with you."

Jesse took her top completely off. Samantha was sure Jesse wanted her to watch her nurse Precious. Maybe it was just to look at her too. She did look. She saw Sheila topless or naked enough times to make an accurate comparison of their bodies, specifically their breasts. It was actually something she just did again before Jesse moved Precious up to begin to nurse her. She was somewhat impressed by the size differential. She knew there was no size increase on Riley based upon the reports of the other Metal girls.

She also noticed Jesse seemed to adapt quickly to 'mothering' a child. It was something which seemed to be incredibly difficult for Riley. It was unrelated to her physical condition. Based upon what she heard about Jesse's past, she was actually surprised. Jesse sounded more like a ruthless killer in the past - her future. She thought Sheila was a pretty good example of the darkness which existed within Jesse.

"You look well acclimated to the function." Samantha said.

Jesse wasn't sure if 'function' was the proper word in this case. She looked down at Precious and what she was doing. With her troubled past and many of its harsh decisions, she never believed she would be at this point in her life. She actually never expected to remain alive this long.

"I never thought I would ever do this." Jesse said. "I think it's something all females think about at different times in their life, some do it from when they're a girl, others are much older."

Samantha believed it would make Jesse want her own child.

"I'm sure you'll have a child of your own one day." Samantha said.

There weren't a whole lot of options open to Jesse. It wasn't something she wanted to ask of any female. She knew they would, but she wasn't going to ask them. If she asked them, they would feel obligated to do it.

"I know there are options available to me which didn't exist before." Jesse said. "It's not something you really want to ask someone to do, especially when it's part of them. Young Jesse needed to do it once already for me, well, for Duplicate Jesse anyway. It has to be something she does on her own without any input from me."

Samantha could see why Young Jesse wanted to help. Every other 'Jesse' was actually her. She was really helping herself.

"Duplicate Jesse is her. You are her too." Samantha said. "She would want some version of herself to help her if she needed it."

Jesse was always fascinated by the fact there were two more of her out there. It was a result of the 'TDE incident'. She really wondered what it would like to be with herself, not just Young Jesse, but someone with all her same experiences. She knew there was no boundary they wouldn't cross or anything they wouldn't hesitate to do. It was a very intriguing thought to her.

"We are the same, but it's still different." Jesse said.

Samantha couldn't see any real difference. The Duplicates of Cameron and the three human girls were identical to each other.

"Not really." Samantha said. "You're all the same individual."

Jesse finished up with Precious. Samantha offered to take her. She wanted to do all the functions a mother would need to do for their infant.

"I'll do it." Jesse said. "There's a real beauty to all of this. None of it bothers me in any way. I actually feel a need to do it. Maybe it's just nature triggering a response in me which was always there, but trapped inside of me, the ugly me. What I feel right now is a very different me."

Samantha noted Jesse made no effort to put her top back on.

"Do you like the changes to your body?" Samantha asked.

Jesse looked down at her breasts.

"Do you mean my larger norks?" Jesse asked as she cupped one in each hand. "I don't really know if they qualify as knockers, but I think it's pretty close."

Samantha tilted her head slightly. The difference between Sheila and Jesse was quite dramatic. She was a little mystified at how some females dressed. Their breasts were mostly exposed, but then they complained if someone looked at them. She didn't see males wear tops of the same type, at least traditional ones anyway.

"Yes." Samantha said. "Some humans put great emphasis on breast size."

Jesse knew it could be a lure and size didn't always matter. She was very aware when she wore her nipple rings how everyone would look twice or more at her, and specifically at them, if she was topless or flashed a breast in public. She also felt usage and availability mattered more than size.

"Look at poor Riley. She has all the size in the world and it's not doing her a whole lot of good for Precious." Jesse asked. "Function matters more than size in this case. I think actual production can vary from individual to individual as well, regardless of size."

It bothered Jesse some to know if Riley was still in the future with Precious how Precious' life would be in danger. If she couldn't nurse Precious and there was no one else available, which they're usually wasn't, Precious would die.

Samantha observed the behavior of human males. When she was in the parking lot earlier at the doctor's office, she was able to observe people coming and going from the medical building. She noted what the first thing the males seemed to look at on a female.

"A larger breast size seems to attract males." Samantha said.

Jesse knew it to be true. She also knew what males really wanted. She experienced being taken by force multiple times. Most of the men groped her at some point, but it wasn't what they were after. There was usually some snide and rude comment to go along with it. It was as if somehow what they were doing was her fault, not their own.

"Maybe so, but it is the 'other part' they really all want." Jesse said. "Believe me, I know."

Samantha knew of the trouble Vanna and Jesse faced for being females in their future. She didn't want to let Jesse go there and dwell on the hard times of the past - her future.

"Vanna seems pleased with her new size as well." Samantha said.

Jesse liked what her breasts were able to do more than she did the size. She thought of Samantha's earlier statement and the use of the word function. Maybe function was the proper term after all.

"It's their function I'm pleased with, the size is OK too." Jesse said. "I only miss one thing."

Samantha thought all human females would be pleased to have larger breasts, or at least different ones. She read an article in Cosmo which stated forty percent of the females thought their breasts were too small, and forty percent thought they were too big. It seemed only twenty percent were satisfied with the way they actually looked. It made her wonder what it was Jesse missed.

"What is it?" Samantha asked.

Jesse thought back to the day Cameron pierced her nipples. She experienced a lot of adventures since then.

"I miss my nipple rings." Jesse said. "I've worn them for so long they were like a part of me. I feel as if part of me is missing."

Samantha thought there was a solution to it. She looked at plenty of images on the internet as well.

"You can always wear them elsewhere." Samantha said.

Jesse touched her right earlobe.

"I have earrings." Jesse said.

Samantha glanced a little lower on Jesse.

"I wasn't talking about your ears…." Samantha said.

Jesse looked at Samantha, who finally smiled. She actually tried it before. After she removed the rings, the piercings eventually closed back up after a few months. One side actually took a couple more months than the other side.

"You're a funny sheila, you know that." Jesse said as a statement. "I'll let you do it."

Samantha referenced Jesse's slang. She understood 'sheila' meant a female in Australian slang. It made her think of Sheila. She liked the way Sheila looked. She was open to the idea.

"Maybe when my sheath fully Resequences I will." Samantha said. "My body has already mostly Resequenced. My face has started but it takes longer."

Jesse sensed a further opportunity to get her hands on Samantha.

"We could always practice with this sheath." Jesse said. "You could try them in either location."

Samantha thought if she was going to give it a try, she might as well give it a try everywhere. What could it hurt?

"Or I could try them in both locations." Samantha said.

The thought excited Jesse. She wanted to see it or maybe be the one to install them.

"I think you are trying to get me aroused and excited." Jesse said.

Samantha wanted to remind Jesse of her priorities

"Gail will be back shortly." Samantha said. "I'm sure she will be pleased to share your company after her duties for the day."

Jesse looked at Samantha for a long moment. She knew currently there were restrictions placed on her. She didn't want to cause anyone any trouble. She really didn't think a quickie could hurt anything. No. There were certain boundaries she needed to respect.

"Now I can hardly wait." Jesse said.

Jesse knew her knickers were headed straight for the wash after the conversation. She was ready for some action. She didn't care where it came from at this point. She was going to grab the first person she saw. What if it was John? It didn't matter, she would grab him too. She didn't think it would hurt to try the traditional method like Young Jesse desired to do. Maybe she would get lucky and get pregnant. Maybe she would be lucky and carry the pregnancy to term.

Closing monologue by Cameron:

I Can Drag It

When a heart is full of love
It beats fine in one's chest
They are ready for the world
They will take any test

When things work smoothly
Everything is fine and dandy
It's nice to have support
They both have the other handy

Everyone wants to do good
There won't be any crimes
They all work together
It's nice to have help sometimes

Times can turn rough
Maybe from the outside
Within one's self
