Chapter 1096


Positive Reinforcement


Vanna and Allison were in the lab. They went to the monitor which was now on. It was something out of the ordinary. It was activated by CamNet.

CamNet was on the monitor waiting for them.

"Hello, CamNet." The girls both said.

CamNet smiled at them.

"Hello." CamNet said.

The girls were more than a little surprised.

They talked for a few minutes.

Vanna knew it was something different. She wondered what it was or was about. She was looking over her projects which were now all complete. Maybe there was something in one of them CamNet didn't want her to see. Maybe it was to prompt her to go back and look over everything in detail. Whatever it was, it wasn't normal. She figured it probably dealt with what they checked on earlier in the Command Center.

"Do you have some new information about the location where Cam is at?" Vanna asked.

Allison and Vanna quickly looked at each other. She didn't expect Vanna to be so direct. She could understand the circumstances. She would do the same thing if it involved Holly. Actually she probably wouldn't have waited this long to do it.

There was a slight pause.

"I can assure you the operation won't go forward tonight as Cam wanted it done." CamNet said. "There will be a different approach instead. I would appreciate it if you keep the information between us. I just wanted to give Allison and you a little peace of mind. The situation will be dealt with, with extreme prejudice."

Vanna thanked her and CamNet disappeared.

The lab was strangely quiet.

Vanna and Allison looked at each other but didn't say anything. It wasn't the right place to do it. CamNet would monitor their conversation.

"We can go back to my room, our room, and wait for Cam." Vanna said. "I'd like to be with Cam and you together for a 'three way'."

Vanna enjoyed it immensely when someone else was with Allison and her. He gave her the opportunity to kiss and touch Allison while someone else took care of business elsewhere. It gave her intense pleasure as well as focus. She could just hold Allison in her arms and kiss her all day. The 'other things' were nice too, but she wanted Allison. She really hoped for 'three way' with anyone, as long as Allison was part of it.

Allison wanted to make sure she didn't overstep with Vanna. She was with Cam alone earlier.

"OK." Allison said. "It's fine with me long as you don't mind."

Allison always liked the opportunity to be with a 'Cameron' clone. It would especially be the case after the recent conversation with CamNet. It was who she would view Cam as in her mind when it happened. Normally it would be Cameron since it was her main desire. There was a new desire in her mind instead.

The girls left the lab. They both were filled with questions. They were both sure there was more to the conversation, or what sparked it, than met the eye. The fact there was some type of direct communication was something very new and unexpected.


Cameron originally wasn't going to stop at any of the other locations she mentioned to Savannah. She changed her mind. She pointed out a location on the map to Savannah and told her how to make her approach.

Savannah did as she was instructed by Cameron. She set the helicopter down where Cameron indicated she wanted it to be. There was a little bigger dust cloud at the location than there was at the other one. It was probably an indication there hadn't been an aircraft, of any type, there in some time. It probably wouldn't include any drone activity as far as her original assessment went about aircraft.

Cameron indicated the general direction the hidden hangar was in. The girls both looked around at the rock surface. They couldn't see it visually. They needed to remember it was the whole point. It wasn't supposed to be easy for anybody to find. They both used deduction to determine where the best spot for it to be located was at.

Savannah noticed something. It was different from the previous location.

"This appears to be an older location." Savannah said.

Cameron was only made aware of the location after Sheila and Cammy returned from their temporal mission. It was there for decades. All she needed to do was update the operating systems and supply the equipment.

"This location was a rather recent find for me as well." Cameron said. "I needed to move some HK Tracks to this location as well as a couple of Terminators. There are a few specialized drones here as well. They needed to be purpose modified."

Young Allison and Savannah looked at each other. The statement seemed a little confusing.

"Do you mean this location was already here?" Young Allison asked.

Cameron was given the information on the location by CamNet after she went through Sheila's and Cammy's files upon their return from their temporal mission. Majority of them were blocked as to what they actually did for the eight years they were in the past. Some things related to the Resistance were viewable. The remainder of the files about what they did would be blocked until Young Allison completed her temporal mission. It indicated to her some significant events may have occurred during the time period.

"Yes." Cameron said. "There were a few surprises inside of it. They were rather big surprises."

The girls finally found the control panel and activated it. The door opened. Two HK Tracks were waiting for them. Hank and Larry were there as well. They evidently rotated there from the other location at some point. It may or may not have been a coincidence. It was doubtful too many things were a coincidence when it came to Cameron and CamNet.

Savannah looked around as they entered.

"I can see this location is much smaller than the other one." Savannah said.

Young Allison looked around at the rear of the area. She found what she was looking for. She activated the hidden control panel and was a little surprised at what was behind it in the hidden compartment.

"Wow!" Young Allison said. "Look at the size of that thing."

Savannah was just as impressed.

"Oh my, that's a big one." Savannah said.

They looked at a specially modified drone. It contained modified power plants on it. Nested on top of it was a rather large cylindrical device. There were also two other slightly smaller cylindrical devices next to it. They were all much larger in diameter than the other nuclear weapons they viewed, especially the ones they captured in the desert on their way to the mine. Those were recently constructed nuclear weapons. Everything there, other than the drones and the Terminators, didn't look modern at all.

Young Allison wanted to know more.

"What's that big fella?" Young Allison asked.

Cameron was a little surprised when she was made aware of it herself. She didn't expect to find such a powerful weapon. It made her wonder how the loss of it was covered up by those handling it and responsible for its disposition. If Cammy was able to manipulate the paperwork, it may have just 'disappeared' from the files forever.

"It's a B-41. It's a three-stage thermonuclear weapon with a maximum yield of twenty five megatons." Cameron said. "It was one of the largest regularly deployed nuclear weapons of its time period. It's actually one of the largest of any time period."

Savannah knew right away it was a 'city killer'. It was something the military claimed it tried to get away from because of its intended purpose. It was doubtful any adversarial nations who possessed them previously would decommission them.

Cameron went on to explain everything in more detail including the two 'smaller' warheads. They were both gigantic in their own right. They were off of Titan missiles. They were both a B-53 with a nine megaton yield.

The current B-61 weapons were spread out through several different model numbers. Most of those were equipped with a variable yield. The highest yield any of them could produce was only four hundred kilotons. It would take scores of those weapons to match the yield of the three large nuclear weapons contained within the bunker. Those three weapons alone, strategically deployed, could destroy a large city almost completely. The radiation would be extreme and finish off any survivors rather quickly.

Young Allison wondered what would happen if any of those large nuclear devices were encased with Cobalt as the Skynet group intended to do with the smaller yield weapons it stole.

Savannah understood what it was they looked at. The weapons in the hangar complex were some of the most powerful weapons actually ever deployed. There were always bigger bombs tested, including one with twice the megaton range as the largest device there. Having a nuclear weapon was one thing. Being able to deploy it effectively was another. The size was still impressive.

"Was one of these weapons in the bottom of the mine used in the desert?" Savannah asked. "Could one of these create a cavity big enough to make the mountain collapse in on itself when detonated deep underground?"

Cameron felt a slight glitch impulse. She was still very uneasy about the way all of those events played out, especially the close timing. She didn't know the answer to the question. She looked at Cammy.

Cammy understood Sheila and her must have been the ones who acquired everything in the past. It was possible there were other Terminators involved they didn't know about, or couldn't access the files related to their activity. She wouldn't put anything past Cameron and her repeated 'temporal manipulation' and 'temporal malpractice'. There was no point to bring it up right now.

"I don't know what it was for certain." Cammy said. "It was big to bring down the mountain. We don't know the extent of the tunneling, shafts, and excavation inside of the mountain either from the mine. It was probably honeycombed with all sorts of things to weaken it further. There was a sizable pile of tailings in the ravine next to the entrance. I don't have any recollection of those events. They are still files I have which are locked. A certain chain of events needs to play out before they will become available."

Cammy didn't think it was a good time to mention Sheila and her considered detonating a hydrogen bomb of unknown megatons in the center of Las Vegas to obliterate it from the map because of their various run ins with the Syndicate during the time period. Since the mushroom clouds were readily visible from Las Vegas, everyone would assume something went wrong with one of the tests and it was why Las Vegas no longer existed.

Savannah thought about the implications of everything they looked at and experienced previously in regards to nuclear weapons. She wondered what the effects would be on the planet if the large bomb was turned into a C-Bomb, a Cobalt bomb. She wondered how much Cobalt could be incorporated into the weapon. It seemed to her there could be tons of Cobalt placed around it and it would all be vaporized in the initial explosion which was bound to create a lot of Cobalt fallout.

Cameron went over all of the details on how to arm the bombs manually. It was the same procedure and control mechanism as they already were shown. She made sure the girls understood they were her largest weapons. They were all a far cry from the backpack nuke. The destructive value was thousands of times more deadly.

Anna pointed out they needed to get moving if they wanted to get back before it was completely dark. She didn't like the girls around the nuclear weapons, especially the older ones. It wasn't just the fact they were older, it was because they were much more powerful than the current weapons. She was sure one of those was used Inside the mine at the desert location Skynet setup.

Cameron needed to suppress several glitch impulses. She didn't like to think about the finality of what the weapons represented. Any one of those three weapons could start a true World War without the aid of Skynet involvement. She was ready to leave the area as well. One of them detonated over the capital of any adversarial nation would spark an immediate response.

They made sure everything was secure and left the hangar after they bid farewell to Hank and Larry.

Young Allison would mention to Cameron later on she thought the Terminators in the remote locations should be rotated from time to time. She didn't mean for another assignment of the same nature. They should be rotated through Cameron's base if nothing else. She knew they would be in standby, but it still seemed like a boring assignment to her. She was pretty sure it wasn't just chance Cameron's Terminators were some of the ones Savannah knew and they were at the two locations. She actually wondered if it was so she could meet them. It made her wonder what else was intended.

Savannah and Young Allison were a little somber as they headed for the helicopter. They both knew they just looked at another way they may perish in the future. They also knew Cameron already faced the same form of destruction more than once. She did it willingly and with calculation too. Would it come down to the same thing for one or both of them? It was a real possibility in their fight against the enemy.

Cameron wanted to cheer the girls up some. She knew they were both feeling the heavy burden of the future weigh upon them right now. She also knew neither girl would flinch if push came to shove. They would both face Skynet, alone or together.

She wanted to refocus everyone's attention to more pleasant things. She hoped they were pleasant anyway. She believed they would be.

"How would you like to sit in the pilot's seat for a while?" Cameron asked Young Allison.

Young Allison was clearly excited. She hoped to get some time in, even if it was for a few seconds.

"Really?" Young Allison asked. "I've never flown a helicopter before."

Savannah didn't want Young Allison to get ahead of herself. There was no need for her to get her hopes up prematurely.

"It's just for observation." Savannah said. "A Huey is a handful compared to the Robinson I trained on."

Young Allison liked all of Savannah's flying. She studied the incident where the Metal girls were hanging upside down out of the side of a UH-1 like some type of 'circus act' when Cameron fired a stinger missile at an HK drone tracking them. The helicopter suffered an in-flight emergency. Savannah was the one at the controls. The other Metal girls in the helicopter were the ones involved with the 'circus act'.

"You have it down now." Young Allison said. "Your skill was quite evident."

Savannah thought practice made perfect. She remembered the saying, 'If you want to be good at something, you need to practice every day.'

"I can always use more experience." Savannah said.

Cameron planned to train both girls extensively on a multitude of things when they visited the past. Cammy and Sheila were supposed to set everything up for them. They would have weapons, vehicles, aircraft, housing and money all waiting for them.

"I'll make sure you get more experience." Cameron said. "Even in the past I will be able to train both of you. There were a lot of Warbirds then. Most were not well maintained. There were a lot of accidents and incidents. The ones at our disposal will all be in top shape mechanically. Visually they may maintain a somewhat unkempt appearance so they don't attract undue attention."

Young Allison thought they would have everything waiting and ready to go.

"I'm sure Sheila and Cammy will take care us." Young Allison said.

Cammy's files were blocked. She didn't know what she may have done. She did know what she would do in those circumstances

"I don't know." Cammy said. "I can't access those files yet. I would've made sure you would have the best of everything. Most likely be how Cameron indicated it. Mechanically everything would be in tip top shape. The paint jobs on the aircraft may not be so great."

Cammy knew whatever she did, would have been the top of the line for Savannah and Young Allison. Sheila and her wouldn't take any shortcuts.

Savannah and Young Allison did a visual inspection of the UH-1 again before they entered it.

Cameron made sure both girls were secure in their seats.

Savannah was ready to give Young Allison some 'hands on' training.

"I want you to go over the start up procedures with me before you do them." Savannah said. "You're going to fire this copter up. You're going to do everything on your own. I just want you to tell me what it is before you do it."

Savannah knew she could do the procedures in her sleep. She could do it with all the aircraft. She could also do it with all the weapons. Once Cameron made the A-26 ready to fly for her, she knew everything she needed to do on it as well. It seemed more than watching the instruction videos and reading the manuals. It was like she knew things she never actually studied either. Young Allison was the same way too, but even better than her. She was sure Young Allison was going to be better at everything compared to her. She at least hoped she could be better at lovemaking. She wasn't sure how long her experience would give her an advantage. Young Allison planned to be with everyone she was with. It was something Young Allison told her for years now. It wasn't what she wanted to see happen, but she knew it was because of her own promiscuous actions. Everything came with the price.

She wanted to set a few rules and parameters for Young Allison. She decided she wanted to make Young Allison think about everything on her own.

"I'm going to fly the helicopter." Savannah said. "You're going to start it for me while I observe with Cameron. You'll tell me as you do it and when I'm ready to fly."

Young Allison was in the pilot's seat. She looked at all the instruments around her and everything seemed like she knew where it was and what to do. It was the same with flying the Mitchell. Everything seemed like she did it before, many times. She read the manuals and watched the instruction videos. Everything just 'clicked' for her when she did it. She knew what to do in any emergency if it happened.

Savannah and Cameron watched Young Allison call it out first and then do it.

The Iroquois was now burning and turning.

Young Allison knew the helicopter was ready to fly. She looked at Savannah.

"You got it?" Young Allison asked

Savannah checked to make sure everyone was secure.

"I got it." Savannah said.

She looked around and then looked up. She smoothly lifted the UH-1 into the air. The loud 'thump, thump, thump' turned into a steady heavy 'chop, chop, chop'.

Cameron showed her a spot on the map earlier. It's where Savannah was headed now.

Young Allison watched everything. She double checked the map and heading as they flew.

Savannah paid attention to her surroundings and the instruments on the helicopter. She glanced over at Young Allison at times. It looked almost as if she was flying herself. She was pretty sure Young Allison was 'flying' in her mind.

She knew Young Allison's flying ability wasn't the only thing on her mind. It was with Young Allison herself. She knew the fuse was lit for her personal desires. She knew Young Allison would fulfill them. She knew things progressed rapidly once they started. She knew what Young Allison was going to do when she returned from the past. She was sure Young Allison would try and have a child for Cameron and John. She was going to try and prevent it.

Being alone with Cameron for those few years would allow them a closer bond. It would be emotional love. It would be love in its purest form. The love would become physical one day. It was one way to express the shared love.

Sharing without love was just sex. Sometimes love might blossom for a while, but it didn't have a foundation to stand on. It would collapse as quickly as it started.

Emotional love expressed with sharing was true love. The physical aspect of it was an extension of the emotional love. It was the type of love and sharing which could last forever. It was because they shared the person inside, not just the body.


Cam was to obey the 'stand down' order and disperse the team which assembled earlier. The target area would be observed under remote surveillance.

John made it clear he wanted all of their team away from the area and they were. The vehicles were all changed out as well.

Cam and Gail returned to the Resistance base with Jim and Bob.

Ally and Sheila headed off to Cameron's base. They wanted some answers from the female prisoner.

Al and Mel were on a wide roving patrol of the area around the empty and abandoned building. They were never close enough to observe it directly, but could be back there within a few minutes if needed. They didn't want to end up as targets.

There were still two drones watching the area. The others returned to where they were sent out from. They would return before the drone which would come in low made its run. It wouldn't happen until the 'Witching Hour'.

So far there was a lot of hoopla about nothing.

None of them thought this was the end of the operation. It most likely was the calm before the storm.


Vanna finished up a few things in the lab. She was glad she didn't need to set up for repairs of any of the Terminators. Some of them did return damaged from time to time. None of them were ever damaged as badly as Cameron was. Cameron always took the brunt of the combat herself. The other Terminators all knew this. They all wanted to share the burden and share the damage. When she was satisfied everything was how she wanted it in the lab, she collected Allison and they departed.

Once Allison and Vanna reached a 'dead zone' in the base surveillance they stopped. Neither CamNet nor John Henry could observe them or hear them speak from the 'dead zones'.

The two long time lovers were unsure about what just happened or why. It was something different than normal.

"What was that all about?" Allison asked. "I felt we were being tested in some way."

Vanna was unsure what she was supposed to do.

"I don't know." Vanna said. "CamNet was either preventing me from seeing something, or prompting me to see something."

The statement was useless to Allison. It didn't tell her anything. It didn't give her a clue as to what it would be. She didn't know what all of Vanna's projects were. It could be a million things. Maybe it was just one thing. Vanna's statement could only complexify things.

"It's not much help." Allison said. "They're both opposites."

Vanna decided to clue Cam in and go back later on. Maybe Cam could help her with the mystery.

"I'll return with Cam later and have her check things out with me." Vanna said. "Let's go wait for Cam in my room, our room."

Allison thought Vanna and Cam should share alone, at least at first. She was with Cam earlier before she left. She wanted Vanna to reaffirm her closeness with Cam. She thought it was important based upon the fact Cam could have been damaged severely or destroyed where she just was.

"Vanna, I want you to see Cam alone." Allison said. "I know how you felt at the Command Center. It was very evident. I could feel your love for her."

Vanna wanted Allison to be with her too.

"It's OK." Vanna said. "We share everything. Cam doesn't mind. I don't mind."

Allison thought some alone time might make Cam think twice before taking chances. It made her think back to the time when she thought something 'bad' happened to Holly. She knew something did but nobody would ever tell her. She didn't know Cameron created a 'temporal loop' so what actually happened to Holly's chassis, never actually happened to Holly because she was removed from the loop before it was created.

"You go to her." Allison said. "Reassure her she is very important to you and how much you love her. I know how things 'weigh' on the Metal girls sometimes. She needs to think twice about taking an unnecessary chance. Even if it's the 'Cameron' in her, she needs to use moderation."

Vanna was pleased Allison understood what was necessary at times. She also was sure it weighed on the Metal girls when they were with others. They were all free to do the same.

"I'll remind her about it too." Vanna said. "Thanks."

Vanna and Allison moved on. Vanna headed for her room and Allison went in search of Holly.

Vanna wanted to reassure Cam she was important to her and she loved her. She wasn't sure why Cam acted so aggressively. It was unlike her. Maybe it was because Cameron was away. Savannah told her before Cammy sometimes did it too when Cameron was away. They were both Cameron clones and both of them were still about ninety five to ninety eight percent 'Cameron'. Cameron tried to lock her personal files with John and some of her 'bad' past experiences away from them. Somehow she thought it was a good thing. They were both 'out of date' as of their moment of creation as well. Anything Cameron experienced or did since they were created was not in their system or files.


Riley 'finished' up with Derek. She called and said she was coming to get Precious in a few minutes.

It was close enough for Jesse. She left Precious with Samantha and took off.

Jesse only threw her top on. She didn't bother to button it up. It hung open. Both of her breasts were exposed. She saw the four Terminators enter from the carpool area.

She ran up to Gail and gave her a kiss.

Bob and Jim headed off in a different direction. They didn't want to get involved in any personal matters.

Cam stayed and watched. She liked the way Jesse greeted Gail.

"I hope I get a reception the same way." Cam said.

Jesse didn't see any reason to make Cam wait.

"I'm sure you will." Jesse said. "In fact, I'll give you one now."

Jesse moved over and gave Cam a hug before she returned back to Gail.

Gail gave Jesse a hug this time and held her close and tight. It was to reassure their union and who they would be with at the end of the day. It was a reminder.

Samantha previously gave Jesse a brief run down on the operation Gail and Cam were on. She was glad it hadn't gone hot. To see any of the Metal girls damaged always seemed to bother her, but not as much as it did them. They were all worried about their appearance as opposed to any mechanical damage. They knew their lovers liked their undamaged physical appearance.

The exception was Savannah. She seemed to care for them even more when they were damaged. They all liked to be repaired by her. She made them feel comfortable and at ease. They didn't need to worry about their appearance. Savannah knew they were their programs.

Jesse led Gail back to her room. She already removed her top before Gail followed her into the room.

Cam smiled and passed on by. She headed to Vanna's room.

She listened as she came closer. She wondered if Vanna was busy with Allison, or if she would get a reception like Gail received from Jesse. There was no apparent 'activity' occurring inside. She actually hoped someone was in there. She quietly opened the door and went inside.


Ally and Sheila were off to Cameron's base to conduct an interrogation.

Sheila was in a hurry to get there. She wanted some blood.

Ally thought Sheila was driving more reckless than usual. There was no reason to hurry. The detainee wasn't going anywhere.

"Slow down." Ally said.

Sheila looked over at Ally. She was a little irritated. She didn't need a 'backseat driver'. It didn't matter if Ally was sitting next to her.

"I want to get there before the Bitch dies." Sheila said.

Ally wanted to find out before they left what was actually happening.

"She's probably already dead." Ally said. "I think we should have called first."

Sheila seemed to get more agitated with her statement. She wanted some personal retribution and she didn't want to tip her hand before she arrived.

"No. I don't want anyone to know we're coming." Sheila said.

Ally was sure there was a 'suggestion' from Savannah to prevent Sheila from 'regressing'.

"You're afraid if they know you're coming to 'work' on her she'll be terminated."

Sheila was sure that was why they told her that everything was 'under control' before.

"Yes." Sheila said.

Sheila already thought about what she would do to the battered form of the female.

Ally thought it was important she remind Sheila what the girls wanted, or in this case, didn't want.

"Savannah and Young Allison don't want you to do those things to people anymore, especially females." Ally said.

Sheila frowned a little bit.

"I know." Sheila said.

She was also aware Savannah told her before when they were alone she was to do whatever was 'necessary' when it came to protecting Young Allison, Cameron, John, the Resistance, and the future. She knew what Savannah meant. Savannah's statement gave her a lot of leeway. It was clear Savannah wanted all of them protected, even if she did have to step outside of the 'normal' procedures.

She was sure it was because of the close encounters Cameron, Duplicate Cameron, and the Cameron clones all face determination multiple times. She knew Savannah faced termination multiple times as well. She was sure the encounters with death were enough to make Savannah 'look the other way' when the enemy was dealt with.

Ally wasn't exactly sure who Sheila thought she was going to deceive. She didn't believe there was any such thing as a surprise arrival at Cameron's base.

"CamNet will know we're coming." Ally said. "She knows everything."

Sheila didn't mind being observed performing any type of sexual act. It actually excited her and motivated her to do more. She thought she could use a little of that to influence CamNet.

"That's why I gave her a 'taste' of what she was missing." Sheila said. "I bet she is watching the images from my body cam, over and over."

Ally was still a little upset because she didn't know what Sheila was doing at first. She also thought Sheila was probably correct. She wanted to remind Sheila exactly what she was.

"You just wanted to show off." Ally said. "You're an exhibitionist."

Ally was still a little miffed Sheila did the stunt.

Sheila didn't think anything she did along was wrong. Everyone knew what everyone else did. What was the big deal if they actually saw it? It wasn't like anything new or what they hadn't done with the same people before. Watching a video feed wouldn't do anything for her except make her want more. She would want something physical. She would let CamNet try the real thing if she wanted to. She felt she put the invitation out there on more than one occasion. She already knocked on CamNet's door.

"There might be a little Showmanship at times." Sheila said. "I like to flaunt what I've got. It's part of my programming. It isn't a big deal in reality."

There was a lot of 'Scavenger Jesse' in Sheila from the 'Neural Interface'.

Ally wanted to remind her exactly what it 'was'. What 'was' didn't need to be what it 'is'.

"That's the 'old Jesse' in you." Ally said.

Jesse warned Sheila before they did the 'Neural Interface' it wasn't all fun and games.

"Jesse did warn me there was a lot of 'darkness'." Sheila said.

Ally could tell Sheila liked the pain and suffering. She liked to inflict it.

"You like the darkness." Ally said.

Sheila did like the darkness. There was a lot to explore with it. She was able to take satisfaction and then pleasure from the suffering of others, especially when the suffering was by her own hand.

"So did Jesse." Sheila said. "She only gave it up for Derek. He said it was unacceptable to him if they wanted to be together."

They both knew love was about sacrifice.

"Just drive normally." Ally said. "Look you're getting all the lights anyway."

It was an indication CamNet was watching them.

"I guess CamNet does know we're coming." Sheila said.

Sheila would like to provide CamNet with the same opportunity.


Cam was unsure what her reception was going to be once she located Vanna. She was aware she may have pushed the operation a little further and quicker than it needed to be. She was also surprised to hear Vanna was in the Command Center earlier. It alone showed her level of concern.

She entered Vanna's room. Vanna stood there waiting for her.

Vanna rushed forward and gave her a big hug and a long kiss.

Cam was a little surprised. She expected to get chewed out by Vanna. Instead Vanna didn't say anything. She started to undress Cam. She waited for Cam to remove the same piece of clothing from her as they undressed each other slow and playfully. It allowed the excitement level to build.

They stood naked before each other. Vanna took Cam by the hand and led her to the bed.

"I've been waiting for you." Vanna said. "Lay down."

Cam did. She expected Vanna to climb up on top of her like usual. They did switch out a few times a week but normally Vanna was on top.

Vanna wanted to make a point.

"I want to soothe and please you." Vanna said.

Cam wanted to share like they normally did.

"We can do it to each other." Cam said.

Vanna wanted this to be special and send a message.

"Maybe later we will." Cam said. "Right now I want to do everything for you."

Cam knew Vanna was reaching out to her. She didn't want to argue and fight about the risk she took earlier. It was clear Vanna wanted her to know how much she loved her. It was positive reinforcement. Bickering, fighting and arguing didn't do anyone any good.

She wondered if she overreacted earlier. The 'Cameron' in her really showed. She didn't want to become a Bitch like Cameron and Cammy were. She was glad she wasn't like them, even if she was identical.


Closing monologue by Cameron:

Positive Reinforcement

People see things differently
Their vision is very selective
They choose to find fault
They focus on what's negative

It seems to empower some
If others they can demean
Maybe it's just their character
They like to be cruel and mean

Does anyone ever think
About the one they belittle
Doesn't everyone deserve
Some type of acquittal

People want to hear good things
They all like to have praise
They don't want to be forced
Through an endless maze

It doesn't take much
To send a good endorsement
Try a happy face and smile
Give some positive reinforcement

Nobody
