" I'll call Mom," Dana said, reaching for the phone. Then, she hesitated, called out. "Jen, what about you? You want to come with us?"Jenny was lying ...n the deck outside the living room door, naked in the sunshine, her buttocks visible through the open door."Where?" Cap d'Agde. Vacation, after I do the London thing."Jenny was silent for a moment. "No, thanks. I have an idea." She scrambled up from the mat and came to stand in the doorway. "I think I'll take some time off, here, and I think I'm. Shelley laughed. "So do I, this is rich, huh? Stay with me for the rest of the tour?" Yeah, I suppose that wouldn't hurt, but I've got to call Selena at some point. I know too many people to be seen with someone." Joe explained."Selena huh? Is she Spanish?" Nope, it's just a name her parents liked." How long have you known her?" Going on about 3 years, I think." Is she divorced and have kids?" She's 21, please no comments. We've heard them all. You still like the stock market a little right?". And even if she doesn't think she's attractive she certainly is horny to the point that we've both about had to take breaks in the med-tube!The drones we've made have begun to show some results. The 'gate' is there, it is ancient and we don't know how to control where we'll be if we enter it. There should be a control station here, the issue is finding something that has had a million or more years to cool to the temperature of the space around it. Something that may have been intended to be. By now it was dark and although it was usually only a 5 minute walk I tried to keep out of people’s way and avoid meeting people. Eventually I reached the back gate to our garden and I gingerly edged the door open, wary of bumping into my parents. With the coast clear I crept over the paving stones and through the back door, up the stairs and safely back into my bedroom.I sat in front of the mirror and looked at myself for ages. This is what Simon wanted! I felt elated that I would be able to.
