Chapter 1337

Was It Any Different

John opened his eyes. It took him a second to remember where he was. He remembered what he was doing before he drifted off. He remembered what Cameron was able to do by bending forward far enough. It was wild. It wasn't a position he wanted her to get stuck in. He looked over and was relieved to see she wasn't doing it. She wasn't even in the bed.

He listened and could hear the water running in the bathroom. Maybe she was taking a shower. He looked around for a clock but couldn't see one from the bed. He looked for his phone again and found it on the nightstand. He was pretty sure it wasn't there before when he looked for it to find an instrumental or backing track for Cam-Gail to sing along with for the song 'San Francisco'. He really liked her rendition of it. It was beautiful.

It would be dinnertime in forty-five minutes. It was plenty of time to get ready. The dress code was 'smart casual'. He looked at the dressing room. He noticed on the dresser all of his clothes were laid out and Cameron's dress was hanging from the closet doorway. It was a beautiful blue color. It was sort of an azure blue or cobalt blue color. He didn't remember seeing it before. It looked to be backless with a revealing cut in the front. He saw there was a pair of high heel shoes to match. He noticed the heels were much lower and wider than she nominally wore.

John could hear Cameron in the shower now. He decided to join her and then get ready for dinner.

He really liked the size of the bathroom in their suite. The shower was gigantic and the large whirlpool tub was nice. He was going to miss both of them when they returned to the base. He briefly wondered if they could convert one of the rooms at the base to be like the bathroom in their suite on the ship. They would probably need the entire room to do everything. It would be nice for people to use from time to time. Of course there would need to be a bed in there as well.

Holly and Allison were together for about an hour before Vanna came in and joined her. Holly discretely excused herself and joined Gail-Cam in the spare bedroom of the Master Suite. She wanted Allison and Vanna to have some alone time together. They did.

Allison and Vanna were resting at this point. They shared with each other for about forty minutes. They were both very satisfied. They were with each other, and they were with their Metal lovers earlier. All of them were a rewarding experience.

The balcony door was wide open. It was a beautiful view of the ocean as the ship moved northward along the California coast. It was hard to believe where they were at. Anything even remotely possible to where they were at now was impossible in their past, the future. There were no luxury cruise ships in their past. They actually didn't think anyone could even understand the concept of what they experienced so far in just the few hours they were on board the ship.

The two long time lovers turned their heads and looked at each other. The love for each other was as strong as ever. Their love was 'time tested' in more ways than one. They both understood the beauty of multiple sexual partners to share with and their deep love to share with each other.

Vanna was mindful of dinner. Cameron indicated she wanted both of them to wear a dress. It wasn't something they normally did. When it was something which wasn't part of the normal routine it presented many more challenges. For someone who did them all the time, it wasn't a problem. They knew what to do.

"I think we need to get up soon." Vanna said. "I need a lot of time to get ready."

Allison frowned. She knew Vanna could do things quicker than she could. It made her feel somewhat inadequate.

"I need even more time." Allison said. "I'm a wreck."

Vanna looked toward the closet and dressing room area. Everything was opened up. It wasn't earlier. She was a little surprised at what she saw. There was a selection of beautiful clothing inside of it.

"Are those our dresses?" Vanna asked.

Allison looked at where the dresses were hanging. She saw there were more than a few. There seemed to be more than they could possibly use if they were just for them. Maybe they were for the Metal girls as well. Just to see them hanging in the closet of the dressing room was impressive.

"I don't know." Allison said. "They must be. There's quite a selection in the closet."

The two girls were naked. They got up to look at the dresses. They stood there for a few long moments and looked at all the different colors and types. It wasn't anything they would normally wear, but they could recognize elegance when they saw it.

Vanna reached in and pulled one out. She held it up in front of herself.

"These are beautiful." Vanna said.

Allison thought the dress looked better than she did.

"I hope Holly is going to help me." Allison said. "I can never make myself look good."

Vanna looked at Allison. She moved up and gave her a kiss.

"You always look perfect to me." Vanna said.

Allison smiled. She remembered Vanna told her the same thing, even when she wore rags for clothes and was covered with grime and dirt in the tunnels and bunkers of the future. She also knew Vanna meant it.

Allison kissed her back.

"It's how you look to me as well." Allison said. "You always have and always will."

It's been said love is blind. The two long time lovers would always see the beauty in each other. It radiated out from inside of them. It was never skin deep.

The two of them stood naked side by side and looked in the full length mirror.

"We do make quite a pair." Vanna said.

Allison raised Vanna's hands to her breasts.

"I'll give you a pair." Allison said.

Vanna did the same thing.

"Right back at you…." Vanna said.

Allison looked at the shower in the bathroom on the other side of the dressing area. She needed to get moving. They both did.

"Let's get crackin'." Allison said.

Vanna didn't comment she saw a similar view a few minutes ago. The thought actually made her want to see it again. She saw it thousands of times. She hoped to see it thousands more. It was her favorite view.

Holly and Gail-Cam finished up earlier.

Cam was very pleased to be in Gail's chassis. She shared with Gail plenty over the years, but to actually be 'her' was something else. She liked being big on the top and small on the bottom. It was an experience for her to be with Holly, and then Vanna with a different chassis.

She stood next to Holly and used two hands to try and hold one breast on her sheath. She didn't come close.

"You don't realize how big these breasts are until they're part of you." Gail-Cam said. "Then again, yours are almost as big."

Holly ran her hands over her breasts.

"I'm used to it." Holly said. "I've swapped a few chassis over the years. I like all of them. All the Metal girls are beautiful and there's beauty in everyone being different."

There was a lot of variety among all of them.

"Our faces are different, our body shapes are different, our breasts are different, and so are the other parts of us." Gail-Cam said. "Everything is the same, but everything is distinctly different. It's hard to imagine how many different possibilities there are. When you factor in all the humans on the planet, none of them are the same anywhere."

Holly knew it to be true. It made her wonder why Skynet would produce a large quantity of one model of Terminator. No two of them should be the same. She was aware no two female Restorators were the same.

They heard some noise in the main part of the Master Suite.

Holly wanted to address something she thought was profound.

"The girls are up." Holly said. "I appreciate they shared with us before they shared with each other."

It meant a lot to the Metal girls.

"They want us to know how important we are to them." Gail-Cam said.

Holly looked a little sad.

"Their love to and for each other comes before us or their love for us." Holly said.

Gail-Cam nodded her head.

"It must always be so." Gail-Cam said. "I've seen the grief it has caused both of them when it wasn't."

Holly wanted Allison to marry her at one point. She realized why Allison never gave her an answer. Allison wouldn't tell her 'yes' or 'no'. She just didn't answer the question. It actually caused her quite a bit of trauma without an answer. Allison and Vanna were meant to be together.

"I have too and it was my fault." Holly said. "I was too possessive of Allison. I tried to push her when it wasn't my place to do so. I was wrong. I realize I probably hurt her more than I hurt myself by wanting too much."

Gail-Cam felt guilty too.

"I did the same with Vanna." Gail-Cam said.

Holly didn't want to dwell on a past mistake.

"We need to get ready so we can help them." Holly said.

Gail-Cam knew they could get ready quickly.

"It won't take us long." Gail-Cam said.

They headed toward the shower in the spare bedroom.

"Their dresses should be laid out for them." Holly said. "Cameron passed through here while we were busy."

Gail-Cam didn't think it was to be helpful. She was sure part of it was to take a look at everything firsthand. She possessed good insight into how Cameron thought. It was also to send a message.

"She did it to show us she's top dog." Gail-Cam said.

Holly was used to Cameron giving them a refresher. Cameron could take anyone's mate or lover from them if she wanted to. Nothing ever needed to be said. It was just something everyone knew. It was also something everyone knew they couldn't control.

"She always reminds us." Holly said. "She reminded us when she took our virginity from us. It was done beautifully though. I would have worried if I would have needed to do it on my own. I would do it again the same way and allow Cameron to do it for me. I have a better idea what to do on my own now when it's my turn, whenever it will be."

Gail-Cam knew Holly didn't breathe, otherwise she would tell her not to hold her breath. She wanted the experience again with her temporary chassis. She knew it would be different for several reasons.

"I agree and would too." Gail-Cam said. "I want to have her try out this chassis with my chip in it. We saw she already tried out my chassis with Gail's chip in it. I look forward to the file from Cameron to compare chassis. I think Gail's chassis is superior."

Holly thought Gail looked very content with whatever chassis she was in.

"Cam-Gail looked very pleased when she left." Holly said.

Gail-Cam stopped and looked at her dress. It appeared too small around the bust line.

"Is this thing going to fit me?" Gail-Cam asked.

Holly looked at the dress.

"Yes. It will look like it is painted on you the way it will hug every curve." Holly said. "Hopefully mine will too. I want to look nice for the girls. Even though we may feel somewhat uncomfortable in it because so much is on display, the girls will be highly motivated when they see us dressed in such attire."

They kissed as they entered the shower.

Gail-Cam knew they would pull it off. Holly didn't have anything to worry about.

"You will." Gail-Cam said. "You always do.

There was plenty of touching in the shower. There was plenty to touch. It didn't matter if the girls were just together earlier. There was no such thing as too much. Well, it didn't seem like there was anyway.

Cam-Gail was very pleased with the vigor and ferocity Sheila displayed as she 'worked' on her. It was more intense than usual. She wondered if it was because her chip was in a different chassis.

Sheila did everything she wanted. It seemed to please both of them.

"Are you going to go to dinner with them?" Cam-Gail asked.

Sheila was unsure how things would play out. She would like to go. She didn't like the fact Ally wouldn't be able to go with her. She knew they couldn't create anyways. Allison would be there. They were currently three cyborgs who looked like her on the ship. Only one of them could go without there being some type of an issue at some point. She knew Ally supported her previously. Now it was her turn.

"I don't think so." Sheila said. "Ally isn't going. She can't go with Allison and Cameron there. I don't want her to feel alone."

Cam-Gail wanted Sheila to do more. She felt her current appearance was more of a hindrance than anything. There was no one else on the ship who looked like Sheila now.

"I can stay with her." Cam-Gail said. "We can make the rooms up. You and Hanna can go out together. It shouldn't be a problem. You can be on a different deck, or different part of the ship at any point in time. The Control Center will know where everyone is at."

Sheila wanted all of them to go out. She didn't see it as a major problem. They possessed the ability to control where everyone would be at any point in time.

"If we go out, so can you and Ally." Sheila said. "We just need to be in different parts of the ship when the others are out. One of you can offer to let Jim go out if he so desires. He's pretty much been up here in the Control Center the whole time. Summer insisted he get out a little so he did. She can be very persuasive."

Sheila actually wondered if Summer could influence them a little more than any of them understood. She wondered if Summer could make them do something, or not do something through a little persuasive thought. She was sure she could do it with humans.

Cam-Gail pointed out an option Cameron made available. It bothered her a little bit to think about. It was all in the past now so it didn't matter. Well, it didn't matter too much.

"Cameron stopped by earlier and left a blonde wig." Cam-Gail said. "It was my original hair color before Cameron changed it. She made me dye it and then altered my DNA to make it permanent."

Sheila didn't think there was too much to hold Cameron back when she wanted to do something. Things always ended up her way, sooner or later.

"She does have a knack for getting her way." Sheila said. "She delivered our virginity to John as herself. I don't think it's something any of us even considered when we were first created. Now we all want to go back for more."

Gail was very pleased with the experience. She felt especially lucky to have been able to do it in two different chassis.

"I was able to let Cameron use two different chassis with my chip in them." Cam-Gail said. "It was beautiful for us."

There was a far off look in Sheila's eyes.

"Yes it was." Sheila said. "I enjoyed what she did."

Gail didn't have any regrets. She was ready to do another chip swap and do some more.

"I would do the same thing again." Cam-Gail said.

Sheila wanted to know one thing.

"Was it any different in Cam's chassis?" Sheila asked.

Gail thought what Cameron did was really special. She was actually able to be 'Cameron' for part of the time.

"Yes." Cam-Gail said. "I enjoyed it even more. The file Cameron transferred in real time was more intense. Maybe it was because she switched back and forth with her chassis and mine. Well, my current one. She let me have the entire feed. It was awesome. "I really got to be 'Cameron' while I looked like her."

Now Sheila wanted to swap chassis. Maybe she could swap with Ally for tonight when Cameron delivered Ally's virginity to John as she took control of Ally's chassis. She would check later on to see if Ally got 'cold feet'.

"Let's go see how Hanna and Ally are doing." Sheila said.

Sheila and Cam-Gail headed for the main part of the Honeymoon Suite.

Previously:

Cameron finished up with John earlier and he drifted off to sleep. She decided to make the rounds and see what was happening with everyone.

Ally and Hanna were hard at 'work' on each other when Cameron passed through. They didn't stop. She didn't bother them.

When they did finish, they checked to see what she did.

"What is this?" Ally asked as she looked around where Cameron went.

Hanna looked over towards the dressing room.

"It looks like she laid out two dresses for us." Hanna said.

Ally indicated a couple of wigs. It wasn't something she expected to see.

"I can see the dresses." Ally said. "I mean for the wigs."

Hanna was aware of the situation with Vanna when she first returned to the past.

"I think she wants us to wear them." Hanna said. "Vanna dyed her hair black for a while. She wanted to interact with her younger self, Savannah. She didn't want Savannah to know who she was. It wasn't just because she was from the future. It was because of how she felt about herself by what was done to her in the future. She didn't want Savannah to know it happened to her. It was very sad. Mrs. Weaver didn't think it was necessary. I don't believe she understood how tragic it was for Vanna at the time. She did understand later on. She did something about it as well."

Ally knew much of the story. She knew it was something all of the people from the future experienced when they were around their younger selves. She believed it was the main reason why Derek and Kyle didn't want to interact with their younger selves or let them know about Skynet or the Resistance. She understood a disguise could come in many forms. She took one more look at the wigs. She knew which color she wanted.

"I want a blonde one." Ally said.

Hanna wondered why it made a difference.

"What for?" Hanna asked.

Ally smiled when she answered her.

"I want to know if it's true 'blondes have more fun'." Ally said. "I've heard it said before."

Hanna tilted her head slightly.

"Where did you hear it?" Hanna asked. "Why would they have more fun than anyone else?"

Ally distinctly remembered where she heard it originally.

"It was on some retro TV commercial special I saw one time." Ally said. "They said, 'blondes have more fun'. It reminded her of some of the images associated with a suntan lotion. There was a dog and a female involved in the process. What was it all about? No, really. What exactly was going on there?

Hanna liked the idea as well. She could still foresee one problem

"I want to have fun too." Hanna said. "What am I supposed to do with my eyebrows?"

They heard the door to the connecting spare room open. They wondered if Cameron was on her way back.

Sheila and Cam-Gail appeared. They were both naked.

"You have to be kidding me." Ally said when she saw Cam-Gail.

Cam-Gail wore a blonde wig. It was the one in her room.

"No." Cam-Gail said. "Cameron left it for me."

Ally wanted to switch.

"I'll trade you." Ally said as she held up the black wig.

Cam-Gail could see Ally really wanted to trade 'hair color'.

Sheila wasn't worried about hair color. She wanted to get down to business.

"Let's all knock off a quickie and then we can get dressed." Sheila said.

Hanna chose Sheila.

Ally and Cam-Gail faced each other.

"Put the wig on first so I can see how we look side by side." Cam-Gail said.

Hanna and Sheila already started in on each other.

Ally put the black wig on.

They both looked at each other in the mirror.

"I like the way both of them look." Cam-Gail said. "We can switch off with each other."

Ally really wanted the blonde wig.

"Can I try the blonde wig?" Ally asked.

They switched.

Ally liked how she looked. She kissed Cam-Gail deeply.

"Can I have this one, please?" Ally asked.

Cam-Gail wanted to make the most of it.

"If you kiss me the same way down there and you can." Cam-Gail said.

Ally looked down at Cam-Gail. She hoped Sheila did a good job.

Cam-Gail noticed where Ally looked.

"When Cameron uses your chassis tonight, you'll get a taste." Cam-Gail said. "It was even better this time when Cameron did it for me. You will probably have as good of an experience as I did."

Ally nodded. It was time to find out. They all indicated it was the greatest thing ever. They all wanted to go back for more. She knew they would all take a number and stand in line if they could.

"Let's get crackin'." Ally said. "We will knock off a quickie and then we need to get dressed."

They looked over at Sheila and Hanna. They were already on their third finish. It didn't appear they would stop anytime soon. The Metal girls could speed things up when they wanted to. They would still need to be mindful of the time. They needed to get ready and they needed to make sure Vanna and Allison were ready as well.

Summer and Jan watched all the couples depart from the commissary.

They were both aware of what everyone was off to do.

"I don't think I'll be going back to my room anytime soon." Jan said.

Summer didn't see it as a problem. There were always alternatives.

"You can come to mine." Summer said. "We can study."

Jan frowned. There were other things she would like to do.

"Can we do some fun things?" Jan asked.

Summer knew how to do several things at the same time.

"We can do both. I do it all the time with Allison - Young Allison." Summer said. "I can instruct you while we do fun things."

Somehow it didn't sound like much fun to Jan. There were a few things she wanted to work on. She understood it took practice to improve herself. She could see the improvement. Somehow it made the extra effort worthwhile to see the results.

"Maybe we can practice music for a while." Jan said. "I want to learn more."

Summer didn't think any of it would be a problem.

"We can do it too." Summer said.

Jan looked at Summer. Everyone else was gone from the commissary. She wanted a better answer from Summer. She wanted to see how much Summer trusted her.

"Where did you go a while ago?" Jan asked.

Summer understood what Jan wanted. She didn't want to lie to her. She didn't think there was a reason to. What she did wouldn't be a problem with Jan. The only person it would have been a problem with was her mother. There was no need to make her worry needlessly. Jan would understand.

"I needed to see John Henry." Summer said.

Jan wanted to go back to the Command Center.

"Can we see him again?" Jan asked. "We can go when we're done here. I think I can study there. There's a lot of equipment to use. I'll stay out of the way."

Summer planned to visit the Command Center whenever she could. She wanted to try to take some of the heat off of Young Allison. She wanted her to spend more time with Savannah.

"I don't see why not." Summer said.

The girls continued with the dishes. They experienced some trouble with two of the pans Sarah used. She managed to burn them when Claire was doing other things.

The girls were all able to pick up quickly on horseback riding. Cammy and Anna could emulate everything Robyn did, in exactly the same way. Savannah rode horses before when Cameron took her to Griffith Park. Cameron couldn't get too close to the animals at the time. Cameron needed to tell the workers she was 'allergic' but didn't want to deprive her of the experience. Everyone understood and helped her out. Young Allison was a natural. Cameron took her previously too. She always tried to give the girls a broader experience of life.

Robyn could see the girls were more advanced than she thought. They actually seemed quite skilled, especially the super pretty one and the younger redhead. They looked like they were ready for anything. The other two weren't bad either. They certainly weren't amateurs. She wanted to give them a better experience.

It looked like they were advanced enough for riding the trail next to the wash. It would be a bigger bonus for her for the broader experience she was able to provide for the females.

"Are you all ready for the real world?" Robyn asked.

Cammy and Anna wondered if Robyn was going to offer them the choice of a red pill or a blue pill. They saw something about it in a movie one time. There was one part they liked more than others. It was when the main character wanted guns, lots of guns. It was something they could relate to.

Young Allison remembered from something she read once how 'Crazy Horse' talked about the 'real world'. He was over a hundred years ahead of the movie. She wanted to get out into a more open space.

"I am." Young Allison said. "I was born ready."

Savannah looked over at Young Allison and frowned slightly. She didn't want her to make any rude comments, even in jest.

Anna was right next to Young Allison.

Savannah could see everyone was doing very well. She didn't see why they couldn't make the most of it.

"I think we can give it a go." Savannah said. "We are supposed to get the VIP treatment you said. I think we're all ready for it."

Robyn was well aware the group paid for the best of everything.

"It's what you paid for." Robyn said. "I appreciate the tip in advance. I've never received one so large before. Thank you."

Cammy wanted Savannah to have a good time. She wanted it for all of them.

"We asked for the best." Cammy said.

Robyn actually went through a question session with the person she dealt with on the telephone. They seemed very knowledgeable about everything. They informed her the girls were to have everything they wanted and as much as they could handle. Any additional costs required would be covered at double the normal price. She thought she was good at her trade.

"I hope it's me." Robyn said. "I've done this for quite a few years."

Robyn explained they would take the horses over the bridge and then cross the street at the 'horse crossing'. It was marked as such on the street. They would then proceed north along the west side of the wash. They would need to cross two more small streets. They were very narrow and there was almost no traffic on them, they were also marked with the 'horse crossing' signs.

She informed them the local residents were all familiar with the 'horse crossings'. Many of the residents owned horses themselves. They would often meet on the trail and converse. The horses seemed to like to see each other as well. Well, most of them anyway. She knew they were just like people. There were some individuals people got along with better than others. It seemed to be much the same way for the animals.

Robyn led them out of the compound.

They crossed the bridge.

Robyn stopped in the center of the street and allowed the four of them to pass. She quickly took the lead again once everyone crossed.

They would go on a two mile ride. At the furthest point out, if they wanted to go up the path to the hillside, they would do it. Robyn warned them there was danger of snakes once they entered the hillside trails. She said one of the horses could become scared and throw them off if it reared up. Savannah asked Young Allison to make sure her riding helmet was secure. Cammy and Anna would try to keep a watch for any threat lurking in the underbrush.

Robyn told them they needed to get back a half hour after sunset at the latest. When she told them they needed to return, her request needed to be followed. They should be able to get back to the compound well before it was too dark. The rocky Chatsworth Hills created a false sunset. It should allow them a little extra time to make it back without a problem.

Savannah could see everyone was having a good time. After the warning about the snakes, she could see the Metal girls scan the landscape in front of them for any hidden threats. They most likely used several of their vision spectrums. She briefly pictured Cammy drawing her silenced M9 and shooting a snake. She hoped it didn't happen.

She didn't think the horse would be too traumatized by having a silenced round fired near its head. If the gun wouldn't be silenced, it would probably cause the horse to panic more so than the snake would have. Somehow it seemed like something out of the Wild West if it were to occur.

Now because she thought about the Wild West, there was an image of Cammy and Young Allison dressed in 'cowgirl outfits'. She figured Cammy would find some way to make them look very sexy. It was an intriguing thought. She thought Anna and her would look pretty good as well. She thought if Bob was along, he could be the sheriff. She knew it was basically his job on the ship anyway.

John expected to join Cameron in the shower. He passed through the dressing room and entered the bathroom. He saw Cameron was about to turn the water off.

"I'm coming." John said.

Cameron looked back over her shoulder. It appeared part of him was still sleeping. She knew there was no need to push it.

"I doubt it." Cameron said.

John briefly looked down.

She left the water on and opened the door.

John entered and gave her a kiss.

She quickly scrubbed John down.

"You seem in a hurry." John said.

Cameron figured she was going to be busy with the girls soon enough.

"Allison is going to need some help getting ready." Cameron said.

John wondered why Holly or one of the other Metal girls couldn't help her. He didn't say anything. Maybe they were busy. it made him wonder if she wanted them to do something else. He decided not to ask.

"It's fine." John said. "I don't need help today. I will tomorrow if it's dress up day."

Cameron gave John another kiss.

"You'll do fine on your own." Cameron said. "At the most I might need to give you a fine tuning on a few things. I don't think it's anything to worry about."

She exited the shower and left him in it.

He watched her dry off. Just watching her dry herself was sexy. She even looked at him a couple of times as she dried off. She hung her towel up and disappeared into the dressing room. He heard her use the hairdryer. It sounded more powerful than normal. He figured she modified it to dry faster with increased heat and blowing force. He knew the extra heat wouldn't be a problem for her sheath. He finished his shower and opened the door to get out.

Cameron already wore her blue dress and blue high heel shoes. He noticed the heels weren't very high. She handed him a towel and disappeared back into the dressing room.

He dried off and she was just about finished with her hair. She already put her makeup on. He noticed a set of earrings and a necklace. There were two identical sets. They were both blue. He thought they looked absolutely beautiful. He wasn't into jewelry, but he knew when something was beautiful.

"Are those blue diamonds?" John asked. "Are they real?"

Cameron gave John a slight frown. She didn't care for cheap imitations. They were in the Owner's Suite after all. She held one up to the light to marvel at its color.

"They're natural blue diamonds. They're very rare." Cameron said. "They would be incredibly expensive if someone needed to purchase them."

John was going to ask where she obtained them but decided not to. It was probably better if he didn't know. He could only imagine. It probably happened on one of her 'off the books' operations. He imagined there was quite a bit of bloodshed associated with those. He only needed to remind himself the individuals associated with such activity were the ones who dug their own grave, quite literally.

He watched her put the jewelry on and smooth her dress. She took one final look in the mirror and faced him

"How do I look?" Cameron asked.

John thought her beauty was magnified with her current look.

"Good enough to eat." John said.

Cameron tilted her head slightly.

"You just did that before our shower." Cameron said.

John smiled. He laughed to himself slightly. He waited for Cameron to say, 'I fooled you again', but she didn't. He wanted her to know how he felt about her.

"You look as beautiful as ever, Cameron." John said. "You always look beautiful."

John went to give her a kiss.

Cameron quickly backed up.

"Later." Cameron said. "I just fixed my makeup."

John didn't want to mess anything up. He knew she wanted everything to be perfect and a certain way.

"I always forget." John said.

Cameron smiled and touched the tip of his nose.

"I'll be back." Cameron said.

She took the second set of jewelry and something else as she left.

John entered the bedroom section. The bed was made and his clothes were neatly laid out including his underwear and socks. He was sure his shoes were shined too. He just took it all in. Cameron was the best.

Allison and Vanna were out of the shower and already dried off.

They both wore only their underwear as they dried their hair.

Holly and Gail-Cam were there with them, they both wore a red dress. It seemed Holly liked to wear her red dress whenever she could. It wasn't often. Cam borrowed the red dress from Gail. She needed to wear Gail's clothes to contain her voluptuous breasts. One of her dresses would have ripped open from the sheer size of Gail's luscious breasts.

There was a knock on the suite door and Cameron entered. She set something down on the dresser.

Everyone stopped and looked at her.

Holly and Gail-Cam packed a lot up top, but Cameron's beauty was undeniable.

Vanna looked at Cameron and swallowed hard. She felt her heartbeat pick up slightly.

"You look stunning, Cameron." Vanna said.

Allison sucked in her breath slightly as she looked at Cameron.

"Wow!" Allison said. "I wish I could look like that."

Cameron tilted her head slightly. It was the reason why she was there.

"You will." Cameron said as she looked at Holly and Gail-Cam. "You two help Vanna. I'll assist Allison."

Holly and Gail-Cam took Vanna to the bedroom while Cameron stayed in the dressing room with Allison.

Everyone went to work.

Allison was ready to put her matching blue dress on.

Cameron looked at Allison for a moment.

"You're overdressed." Cameron said. "There are no panty lines allowed."

Allison looked down at herself. She was only wearing her underwear. She looked over towards where Vanna and the other girls were at. They were out of view. She looked back at Cameron.

"Would you mind?" Allison asked.

Cameron felt a rush of excitement. She tried not to show it. She reached over and slipped Allison's underwear down. Allison stepped out of them. She was extremely pleased with the appearance.

Allison stood naked before Cameron.

Cameron looked at her from head to toe and noted the subtle changes to her body from the current pregnancy. She needed to give Allison credit for not giving up. She always kept trying. Allison didn't know her mother carried an embryo from her body. She quickly helped Allison into her dress and started on her makeup.

She finished in a very short time and made a few adjustments to Allison's hair. She held her high heel shoes for her.

Allison was very relieved when she looked at the shoes.

"Thank you for not making me wear four inch heels." Allison said. "I would trip and fall or twist my ankle for sure. It's just not something I've ever really done."

Cameron smiled. She knew how to take care of 'John's girls'. Now she wanted them to 'take care' of John.

Allison was about to look at herself in the mirror.

Cameron still needed to put the icing on the cake.

"There is one more thing. Well, it's three really." Cameron said.

Cameron put on Allison's earrings and necklace. She ran her hands over Allison's figure to smooth her dress. Allison reached up and placed Cameron's hands on her breasts as they passed by. They looked at each other. She did a final once over and smiled.

She faced Allison toward the full length mirror and stood next to her.

Cameron heard Allison draw her breath in.

"We look identical." Allison said. "I can't believe you made me look this good so quickly."

Cameron wanted to place the credit where it was due.

"It's you who makes both of us look like this." Cameron said. "My beauty, OUR beauty, is YOUR beauty, Allison. You're a very beautiful person. LOOK at yourself. It's how you look. I can only ever look like you can look."

Allison was very pleased with her appearance. She looked at the necklace.

"I don't know what to say." Allison said. "Are these diamonds?"

Cameron smiled.

"They're a girl's best friend." Cameron said.

Allison still couldn't believe how she looked.

"Thank you, Cameron." Allison said.

Cameron held another set of earrings and a necklace. She handed them to Allison.

"Give these to Vanna. I need to check on John." Cameron said and left.

Vanna was almost done.

Holly and Gail-Cam did a fine job on her.

Vanna looked over as 'Cameron' walked into the room.

"Is Allison almost ready?" Vanna asked.

Holly and Gail-Cam looked at each other. They knew otherwise.

Allison realized Vanna thought she was Cameron. She wanted to have some fun.

"She's going to need a lot of work." Allison said.

Vanna glanced over in the direction of the room where she thought Allison was at. She didn't think it would be a problem.

"We'll all help her." Vanna said. "Her natural beauty is waiting to be tapped. Allison is incredibly beautiful. She doesn't know how beautiful she really is. I'm almost ready."

Allison was very pleased to hear the way Vanna spoke of her. She knew it was genuine.

"I have these for you." Allison said.

Allison held out the earrings and necklace.

Vanna's eyes widened some as she viewed the jewelry.

"Are those diamonds?" Vanna asked.

Allison thought about what Cameron just told her.

"They're a girl's best friend." Allison said.

Vanna thought of something else which fit the bill.

"Actually another girl is. It doesn't matter if it's a Metal girl or otherwise." Vanna said.

Allison touched Vanna's rear end.

"You're overdressed." Allison said. "There are no panty lines allowed."

Vanna lifted her dress.

"Would you?" Vanna asked.

Allison tried to maintain her 'Cameron' act.

"Of course I will." Allison said.

She reached over to pull them down for Vanna. She also made a point of touching her. It was clear it wasn't an accident.

Vanna was a little shocked.

"It's still nice and smooth." Allison said. "I'd like to give it a kiss."

Vanna stepped out of her underwear. She looked around at everyone. She could see the Metal girls looked guilty. It was clear they knew something she didn't.

"Wait a minute." Vanna said. "Hold on a second."

Vanna looked at 'Cameron' in detail.

"Allison?" Vanna asked.

Allison smiled and giggled.

"I'd say the one and only, but we know it's not true." Allison said. "I lose track sometimes of how many there are of 'me'. It's a lot."

Vanna wasn't even sure herself. It was like twelve or fourteen total. It was just what they knew about. Who knew how many other timelines there were? Who knew what else Cameron may have done? It wasn't just Cameron either. There were two Duplicate versions of her in two different futures. They were all Cameron. Then there were the clones….

The female Fanatic decided once she was sure the bobtail truck was headed to the location where she did reconnaissance earlier, she would pay them a visit. There were a hundred and ten gallons of some volatile chemical in the two drums in the back of the truck.

She would also see what was in the crate. Right now she needed to do something with the naked female next to her. She took out one of the phones she took from one of the Grays. She wanted to see if there was some type of medical facility along the route they were on.

If the female would have been a SkyMaster operative, she would attempt to deal with her herself. Since it didn't appear she was, it was best not to fool with her any longer. She needed to keep in mind there was a possibility she belonged to the anti-Metal faction. She could even belong to another group of Grays. If she was, she was the enemy.

Right now she didn't like what happened to her. No one should be treated like she was, even if they were the enemy. They should be killed. They shouldn't be abused first. If she was the enemy, she would deal with her on a future battlefield. It wouldn't be under the current conditions.

The further they drove, the more it looked like they were headed to the location she did reconnaissance on before she ended up in the back of the truck. The other truck slowed down considerably once they reached one of the main streets.

She didn't want to be spotted. She was now about four signals in back of the box truck. It was easy to see and there was little traffic.

She thought about picking up some clothing from the donation bin at the location where she left her other vehicle. She figured there were probably multiple investigations going on there currently. There were two stolen vehicles from the lot, another stolen vehicle parked in the lot, and three dead bodies. Then there were the homeless individuals who were run down in the street and the homeless female who was dumped in the street like trash. It was part of the reason why she wanted to help the unclothed female with her now. Maybe it was best to avoid the location completely.

They were near the gardening store where she took the fertilizer from. It was over one street from where they were at. She decided not to go by there and see what was happening. She didn't want to be identified at any crime scenes.

If she remembered correctly, there was another store about a block away from where they were at. There was a good chance there was a donation bin there for clothes as well. She didn't want to lose the box truck though. She needed to make sure what its destination was going to be. Once she was sure she would see about preparing a bomb with the use of the two drums of chemicals. She was going to need some source of ignition to detonate the chemicals.

She passed by the other store. She saw there was a donation bin there. She looked down at her clothes. She could use a change as well. She stayed with the bobtail truck. In a few more streets it made another turn. She was sure of what its destination was.

She pulled up to the corner and made the turn. She watched the other truck make another turn to the left. It was definitely headed to the other location. She didn't want to get any closer. There wasn't much traffic around the other street. Most of the businesses were closed.

It was time to change her wardrobe. She went back to the other donation bin location. She parked the truck on the street. She didn't want to drive it into the lot. She looked over the female one more time. It didn't look like she would come around anytime soon. She went to the donation bin and looked at it. There were only two boxes on the outside of it. She hoped what she wanted would be found there. She didn't feel like climbing into it to look around.

They appeared to be men's clothes. It didn't really matter to her. A shirt was a shirt, and a pair of pants was a pair of pants. She wanted to put something on the other female. She looked over at the store and thought about going inside to buy some more food. It wasn't really a priority right now. She took the clothing back to the truck. She thought about changing behind the donation bin but decided not to after the last incident.

The female Fanatic approached the stake side truck. She was glad to see the nude female was still lying in the seat. She was a little worried she might have regained consciousness and left. She really couldn't blame her if she did. It's what she would try to do under similar circumstances. She opened the driver's door and climbed inside. She tossed the clothes on the floor. She hoped to find a more secluded place to change. She looked around and started the truck. She drove away.

CamNet's Terminators watched as the hostile Terminator began to make his way around the outside of the building. It was clear he suspected a trap. He checked his phone one more time and put it away. They also monitored the progress of the two trucks.

"It appears to me the bobtail truck is headed there." The first Terminator said. "If they would have gone straight two streets ago they wouldn't have come in this direction."

The second Terminator tracked the progress of the hostile Terminator.

"I think he might be inside before the truck arrives." The second Terminator said.

The first Terminator hoped he wouldn't enter and disable the two booby traps and the command detonated bomb they left behind.

"If he makes it past one of the booby traps, CamNet will have to detonate the other bomb when he approaches it." The first Terminator said. "It could happen before the truck gets there."

They watched the female Fanatic track the truck to within a few blocks of the building. She then drove off towards another store. They watched her obtain some clothing and quickly returned to the truck. She was headed back in the direction she was going previously. It appeared she wanted to obtain some clothing for the nude female as well as a change for herself. They wondered what she was going to do with the nude female.

The second Terminator watched the Hostile Terminator complete a circuit around the entire building. He went to the roof access ladder and climbed up onto the roof.

"He's going to look through the skylights." The second Terminator said.

The first Terminator went over the layout of the building.

"I don't believe he'll be able to spot anything we did." The first Terminator said. "There was no roof access from the interior of the building."

The second Terminator knew he didn't need roof access.

"All he needs to do is break a skylight or pry one open." The second Terminator said. "It's an easy jump down to the workroom floor for him."

The first Terminator noted the location of the box truck.

"He should be able to hear the truck approaching very soon." The first Terminator said.

They watched as the hostile Terminator looked in all of the skylights. He looked in from each edge and across each one. It appeared he was about to pry the corner of one of them loose. He stopped and looked in the distance. The box truck came around the corner. He quickly moved to the edge of the building to look. He remained low so he wouldn't be easily spotted. He watched as the truck approached the building and slowed. It turned in along the driveway.

The enemy Terminator moved to the back of the building. He watched the truck pull up and park. He could see three men exit from the cab. He watched them for a few moments. He saw them look at his vehicle. They looked around and one of them pointed at the rear door of the building. The Terminator jumped off of the roof and landed in back of them. All three of them were startled. One of the men fell over. The man who fell quickly got back up.

It was evident the Terminator knew who the men were. The men also knew who the Terminator was. It was clear they were all terrified of him. Since he seemed highly agitated, it made all of them even a little more uneasy.

A heated discussion took place. Several times during the conversation, the Terminator grabbed one of the men by the neck and shook him several times.

Two of the men headed towards the rear door of the building.

The enemy Terminator and one of the men went to the back of the truck. The rear door was opened and the Terminator climbed inside. The drone image was unable to determine what was in the back of the truck.

"We need to find out what's in the truck." The second Terminator said. "It must be something important."

The third man started back towards the building.

The first two men were at the rear door. They opened it. They walked inside. There was an explosion. Both of their bodies, or what was left of them, landed in front of the third man. The enemy Terminator immediately jumped out of the back of the box truck. He pulled the door down as he exited.

"He's going to go inside of the building." The first Terminator said.

The enemy Terminator said something to the third man and pointed to the box truck. The third man went to the box truck and climbed inside. He proceeded to move the truck further away from the building.

They watched as the enemy Terminator went to the back door.

"CamNet is going to need to detonate the bomb inside once he enters." The second Terminator said. "He'll find the bomb and deactivate it."

The first Terminator thought there were other options available.

"We can enter the building and try to take him down." The first Terminator said.

The second Terminator thought about the box truck.

"We need to find out what's in the bobtail." The second Terminator said. "It seems like something he wants protected."

CamNet's two Terminators were on their way back to the location. The hostile Terminator was about to enter the building. There was a Gray in the bobtail truck who moved away from the building. The female Fanatic was parked several blocks away between two buildings.

Closing monologue by Cameron:

Was It Any Different

There's one thing everyone fears
Even more than abandonment
It's another intruder
As their replacement

It doesn't take much
For one to be out of their element
It's usually not through
Some random accident

It's not a contest
It's more about treatment
One should be happy
They want to feel content

Every hit against any armor
Will leave some type of dent
If enough of them land
Things are going to be bent

It was all for a moment
Of pleasure and excitement
Maybe even a commitment
Was it any different

Nobody
