Terminator: Deadly Physics (A High School RPG)

[cometonothing]

(A roleplay between myself and rossbondreturns)

Part 1

*I hated starting at a new school. And what with my mental patient slash Sister steeing off metal detectors I was already in a not so good move I tossed down my book bag and pulled out a pencil and sketchbook and started doodling-*

John: School sucks-

*I was minding my own business getting into school when someone had set off the metal detectors, for some reason that always amused me. I watched the boy who had walked in with the girl, I walked up to him watching him slam his book bag down and hearing his mumble-*

Keeley: You know school's not that bad.

*I look up- do a mental double take*

John: I prefer home schooling-

*I stare at him, arguing with myself that he didn't look familiar, he was seated next to me, so I sat down, I was surprised he mentioned home schooling-*

Keeley: Home schooling? What's the fun in that?

*I smile*

John: Mine was unconventional. Science was always a blast.

Keeley: *laughs* Science is always the best, with blasting things up, what can beat that?

John: *Muttered* Weapons training and Counter Terror Tactics-

*narrowing my eyes when I hear his muttering, I probably wasn't supposed to hear that, so I kept my mouth shut, thinking*

Keeley: So were you with that girl who set off the detectors?

*I roll my eyes*

John: Yes. She's the reason I'm back in regular school.

*I had to laugh, what he said was funny, but also to ignore the voice in the back of my head saying it's him, it can't possibly be him*

Keeley: How can you blame someone else for that?

*Not really thinking about what he's saying-*

John: Because. If she hadn't shown up I'd still be home school free. Her arrival has like Totally complicated my Life.

*I thought about what he said for a moment-*

Keeley: Sounds kind of like sibling rivalry... *I take a stab-* Step-sister?

*Smiles and nods*

John: Yeah. Just add Freaky in the middle.

Cameron: Yes I am your freaky step sister. Hi. I'm Johns freaky step sister"

*I had to laugh, typical siblings, I turn my attention to the girl when she spoke, she said John's freaky step sister, shit John, when I realised, I stumbled*

Keeley: "Hi, I'm, um... Keeley" *I chewed my lip, doing my best to avoid eye contact with him*

*That name triggered something...from the past*

John: "Keeley? Do I know you?"

Cameron: I have-

John: A Disease. Do I know you?

*My mind was racing, for some reason I didn't want him to know who I was*

Keeley: "Uh, I don't know, I don't think I've met a John ... well you know my age"

Cameron: Keeley Vernon. Friend of John Connor. from 1991 to 1994. And from 1999 to-

John: Knock it off weirdo. (To Keeley) Sorry bout that. I knew you looked familiar.

*I look from John's step sister who was looking at me, weird to John, I hated myself for not telling him the truth, I smiled*

Keeley: "It's okay, they say we have a double out there somewhere...freaky as that sounds" *Yeah what a way to make a fool of yourself, why don't you just tell him? But where has he been all this time?*

*Cameron’s POV she takes a Retinal scan of Keeley and Compares it against the Resistance Database Files- 100 Percent Match to Commander Keeley Vernon-* Cameron: Well suspiciously like Keeley but not-

John: Knock it off Sis.

Cameron: Why? Why do people Lie?

John: We Just do-

Cameron: Why?

John: We just do-

Cameron: Why?

John: Because-

Cameron: That answer is childish. Why do people lie John Connor?

John: To stop from telling the truth Sis...now Shut it.

*I tried to follow their conversation, but lost track after the second Why? She's so not her sister, but I can't figure it out, maybe I should just tell him the damned truth. Just as I was about to open my mouth Mr Bradshaw walks in, I taped on John's shoulder and in a whisper*

Keeley: "Just a warning, this teacher rambles on incredibly slow"

John: "Great" I mumble then I pull out a large textbook so I have a pillow in case I fall asleep-*

Mr. Bradshaw: .....welcome...to...the most interesting.....subject....in all......of academia......Mathematics-"

*I roll my eyes and mime falling asleep. This was gonna be a very long 50 minutes*

*I had my attention to Mr Bradshaw for a second before my eyes wandered over to John, I stifled my chuckle when I saw him miming falling asleep. I knew I was going to be distracted so when Mr Bradshaw told us to turn to our text books, I opened to a blank page of my note book and quickly wrote "John- I'm sorry for lying earlier... I am Keeley V" Carefully tearing the page out and folding it, I spied Mr Bradshaw distracted and tapped John on his shoulder handing him the note*

*Taking the note and carefully open it in hiding- maybe not a boring class after all- I write on the note NFW- wait for a good time- hand hi to her mouthing* No fraking Way-*

*I was anxiously watching him, when he turned to me I quickly paid attention to the front before turning to him again, smiling, taking the paper, mouthing* Yes, fraking Way*

*My day had just gotten better and better*

John: After Class I mouthed

45 Bloody Minutes later* Pop.....quiz......tomorrow... Enjoy Math. Have....a.....good.....day-- *And mayhem everyone and everyone is packing*

John: "Come on Keeley-"

Keeley: "Yeah, yeah" *I shoved my books back into my bag and rushed out of the room, dragging him over to the lockers* "Didn't think I'd see you again"

John: "I sure didn't think I'd see you again"

Cameron: I was trying to tell you. She's alive in the Future-

John: We need to have that conversation somewhere private. Besides...it's a little deep going from WOW you're alive to....well that-"

*His step sister was starting to freak me out a little, talking about being alive in the Future, WTF?*

Keeley: "Well thanks for just confusing the hell out of me" *By the way this is John Connor I'm talking too, it clicked* (To the girl) "You're not John's step sister are you?"

Cameron: No. How much can I tell her?

John: Here not much...we need to book- somewhere private-.

*I try to rack my brain to what room will be empty at this time of the day, then it hits me*

Keeley: I know a room, follow me

*Taking Keeley’s hand because it just feels right I follow her. Cameron keeps up effortlessly-*

Cameron: So where are we going?

*Surprised to feel his hand slip into mine, I glanced down then up to give him a quick smile, turning to Cameron*

Keeley: "To the Social Studies area, most of those classes are in the afternoons, hardly anyone's there right now" *turning and peeking through a small window of a door I see that it is all clear, still holding his hand I open the door and lead them in* "We should be okay here"

John: Cam- how much can you tell her without changing...what comes-

Cameron: A lot John Connor. *John thinks...and thinks- long long that Keeley's interest make her respond first-*

Keeley: "Okay can you two quit talking like I'm not here? Should I know what you are on about?"

Cameron: You are Keeley Vernon are you not?

*I look at her, not sure what to say* "Uh, yes I am Keeley Vernon, I didn't say before because...well I wanted to know for sure"

Cameron: Understandable. Being part of John’s life makes for complications. You and John have been together again- Now and in the Future. You survive to be a Commander. In a War. Against Machines."

John: Whoa...that's good. Don't blow her mind just yet.

*Feeling her head spin this girl must be on some kind of crack then it hits again, is she even human*

Keeley: (To John) Um, I think it's a bit late for that, John (To Cameron) We're together in the future, how do you know that and war...Against Machines...what the hell?"

Cameron: I saw you looking at me at the metal detectors- I don't have a metal plate in my head- *She glows her eyes blue so they're just visible*

Cameron: I was reprogrammed in the future ...I now work for The resistance under the command of General John Connor.

Keeley: Yeah I was looking at you because there was something... I don't know... *watches her not knowing what to expect then she suddenly sees her eyes changing, this was freaking her out "You're...you're one of them?" *I look at John* "General John Connor? Okay, I think this is too much information at once" *sitting down on a desk before I pass out*

*John lowers to his haunches and catches Keeley's eyes*

John: "I did Love you back then. I did. But then A different Machine came back. To protect me...from another sent to kill me...it killed my Foster parents...and nearly killed my Mother and you know how fraking tough she is right-”

*I try a smile hoping her hearing me say this is reassuring her a bit-*

*Keeley forces herself to look at John, surprised he said those words, she didn't know what to say*

Keeley: "I know you didn't kill your foster parents, John, you don't have to tell me that" *A lot of things were racing through her mind right now, and mostly were of how she felt when he disappeared off the radar*

Keeley: "You disappeared off the radar and then come back into my life with her, telling me all of this expecting me to believe you?"

John: "We survived and destroyed everything that could've led to her...and the war-"

Cameron: "Close all the blinds and Lock the door- Get out you laptop John...and your AV cables. There's something both of you need to see-"

*Keeley looked away from John to Cameron, not moving, this was confusing as hell*

Keeley: "What do we need to see?"

Cameron: I have detailed files.

John: Finally details...why couldn't you show me before?

Cameron: You didn't program me- *Silently she looks at Keeley* Then "She did- it is of key importance to both of you-

*It took a moment what she had said, she looks at Cameron*

Keeley: "I did?"

*Finally wanting to know what was going on, she got up and closed all the blinds, walking back to the two*

Keeley: "What's so important then?"

John: Lock the door...so I can get her hooked up...I mean so she can get herself hooked up *Pulls out his laptop and AV cables hooks everything up-*

*I stare at him, realising the more questions I asked the more confused I will get so I went over and locked the door, watching the two in silence*

Cameron: Thank You John. Please have a seat- *She reaches behind her ear- plugging in the cables* My computing will override you laptop but will not destroy any files- is that okay.

John: Learning anything about the Future would be okay."

*Keeley watched Cameron do her thing, she could be getting used to this again as it didn't freak her out as much, to no-one in particular*

Keeley: "I thought not knowing about the future was a better option?"

Cameron: Sometimes the best offence is Pre determination-. Besides you specifically asked me to show John this...and yourself. Regardless I would show you anyway. Comfortable?"

*Deciding to grab herself a chair she placed it next to John and sat down, she looks up to Cameron

Keeley: "I asked you?" *nods to show she's comfortable...will kind of*

Cameron: Sorry I didn't bring Popcorn. Accessing File playback in 3-2-1

*She shudders...gasps and freezes The laptop fills with static and then-*

*Keeley quickly looks at Cameron then leans over to John, in a whisper*

Keeley: "At least she has a sense of humour"

*Paying her attention back to the laptop, still having no idea what expect*

*The picture crackles to life it is Blue and then corrects to true color. There is a scan of the area. Buildings ruined, plies of bricks, twisted steel structures half buried vehicles. Cameron’s Voice comes Over the Recording: Today is June 24th 2027- The War is ongoing. My original Mission was to Terminate John Connor. But I was Captured and Reprogrammed. My Mission is now to Return and Protect John Connor and Keeley Vernon. These orders come from Commander Keeley Vernon- *There is a Break* I am now Riding with Commander Vernon *The POV turns and we see Keeley older battle worn but with a Smile*

Future Keeley: Hi Me! Hi John! *The picture freezes for the moment* Cameron: There is more should I continue?

*Keeley is speechless for a moment to be staring at her older self, she swallowed hard, thinking Commander? When Cameron spoke she glanced at John, then faces her*

Keeley: "Well you've started, you can't stop it now"

*Turning back to the laptop*

*Cameron just nods and the recording plays again-*

Future Keeley: John you should know. We have kids. One of them is driving this APC. BOB!

Bob: (Shouted) Yeah!?

Future Keeley: Say hello to your future Parents.

Bob: Oh GOD...making another ...Recording-

Future Keeley: BOB-

Bob: Hi Mom and Dad.

*John muttered* "Hey-"

*Keeley's eyes were wide, stunned she would have kids with John, she glanced over to him to see his reaction, thinking of "Bob's attitude, she played it off*

Keeley: "Sounds like our Future son has your attitude"

*She said in a whisper and with a grin*

*John can't help but grin-*

John: Yeah *The footage continues*

Future Keeley: Anyhow Bob's a Driver...Cherie is a sniper......and John...our eldest is out looking for his father."

John: Wait...our Son is named John?

Cameron: Yes.

Keeley: *counting the names* "And we have three..". *pausing, then becomes alerted* "Why is our Son John looking for his father?"

*The recording continues*

Future Keeley: Your husband, Keeley, is a stubborn daredevil. If he ever says he's just going out for a walk don't listen to him. especially on June the 10th 2027.

*End of recording*

*Still watching the blank screen, expecting more to show up, she wanted to lighten the mood, hit out a joke about her older self saying John is a stubborn daredevil, but she was too worried to even think about it, when nothing else comes up, she turns to Cameron*

Keeley: "Is that it? That can't be it! What happens on June the 10th 2027?" *fails to hide her worry*

Cameron: On June 10th 2027 John goes for a walk and tells only Bullseye. I extrapolated that he had discovered some target of interest. But had been programmed not to torture resistance members by your future Self Keeley so I do not know more. But before I left for this time...he had not returned. I am sorry."

*Keeley's head was full of question's, she's gotta know more*

Keeley: "He didn't return before you left? How long had he been gone? C'mon, you can't show us that and leave us hanging!"

Cameron: "He had been gone for 13 days. Some consider that a lucky number. Bullseye lost communication with John after 7 days-"

*Chewing her lip, she didn't know what to say next, she concentrated on John, watching for his reaction*

John: I gotta get a Tat or something...Don't Forget June 10th- or something. Cam...that was really disturbing.

Keeley: Sounds like a good idea, but they'll probably make us forget about it or something. Yeah, are you sure you don't know anything else?

Cameron: I know plenty...but no but no more about the current situation

Keeley: *slumping into her chair* "John, we get married and we have three kids... whatever happens on June 10th... can't be that bad...

John: I gotta be a moron to keep that sort of information to myself. What would make me doe that-

Keeley: I don't know, why don't you tell me *saying more to herself but loud enough for the others to hear* I gotta remember not to let you go out walking on your own.

John: Must've been big- I wouldn't do something that stupid otherwise.

Keeley: *slumps even further down, with a groan* Why do they have to keep us hanging? *becoming alerted when she hears someone at the door*

*Cameron untacks and packs up Johns stuff quickly* Cameron: We must leave-

Voice Behind Door: "This door shouldn't be locked"

Keeley: *quickly jumps up putting her chair back, slowly walking up to the door, trying to hide herself, in a whisper* "It's Miss Jenkins and Mrs Carter" *quickly moving away from the door*

Continued....

Cam: Prepare to leave the room.

*She punches through the wall on the right and pulls the handle on the fire alarm in the hall- and then moves towards the door- the teachers have gone to check on the fire alarm- as all the sprinklers suddenly erupt- Cam Throws a desk through the door which blasts open into the hall.*

Cam: Let's go.

*When the door blasts open Keeley thinks of where to head too, not even thinking about it, she grabs John's hand, to both of them* 'This way' *she leads them to outside*

*For some reason once they're outside John starts to laugh* John: That....was....great. You knew exactly where the fire alarm was didn't you Cam?' *She just nods*

*Leaning against a brick wall Keeley shakes her head but has a smile on* 'I think she knows where everything is, right?'

*Cam smiles her weird machine smile* Cameron: I know where enough is.

*Maybe this one isn't too bad, Keeley thought to herself, but she couldn't stop thinking about that date, 10th of June, she looks back to the entrance of the school, to John* 'Do you really want to go back in there?'

John: Well it looks like schools unofficially out.

Keeley: It's not like we'll miss much. I'll be distracted anyway.

Cam: I agree. We should go home....or at least away from here.

Keeley: *nodding* Where do you two live?

John: And old out of the way place disguised on the outside to look like a Junker. But we got the best net access in the world.

Keeley: Of course, you gotta have the best net access. You wanna go there? My dad will probably come home if we go to my place.

John: Sure besides Mom will have a cow when she sees who I brought home- *With a wink*

Cam: Your Mom's weird John Connor.

Keeley: *laughed* Wouldn't she be having a cow cause you're home early from school?

John: Nah… she half expects that she'd consider it like any other day-

Keeley: What happens any other day?

John: We try to stop the future?

Cam: We do Illogical and very dangerous things.

Keeley: *rolling her eyes at herself* Yeah, I knew that, forget I asked

John: Maybe you could come along-

Keeley: Um, I don't know, if it's okay I guess?

Cam: Sarah will need sufficient convincing-

Keeley: You know I don't have too if it'll cause a problem

John: Please...I cause enough problems all by myself-

Keeley: *smiles* Well, you beat me on that one

Cam: Lets go...we can ride the bus part of the way. Less chance of running into anything bad that way.

Keeley: Okay, you guys lead the way

John: Come on Sis...let's book-

*They hop on the bus and get off on a more sedate side of town. They walk down a couple of side streets until they see a house with peeling paint-

John: Home Sweet Home-

*Keeley looks over the house, not sure what to say of it, so she didn't say much* 'It's not bad'

Cam: Perfect. Hiding in plain sight *She even smiles*

Keeley: Yeah, it's quiet as well, wouldn't mind that.

Cam: Is your house loud?

*stares at Cameron* 'Uh, yeah, we live on a busy street. And even though I only have one kid sister, once she starts talking, you can't shut her up'

*Cam nods* That would be noisy. (To John) Your mother is not here-

John: Scan for her cell

Cam: Not here- *She starts into the house serious and ready for anything*

*Keeley watches Cameron walk in cautiously, she waits for John to walk in before she would*

Cam calls out : House is clear no sign of Mom car keys or her Cell phone

*Keeley follows John into the house and looks around* ' Think she'll be out for long?

She wasn't planning on going anywhere...were there any notes Cam?

Cam: Didn't see any-

*Keeley found herself walking, looking around, she froze when she saw a shadow go past the window*

Cam: Welcome Home Derek-

Derek: Hey Robo-girl. And hello nameless friend of John Connor-

Keeley: *not sure whether to give out her name, she keeps it shot* Um, hi

*Derek just nods* So John why are the three of you here?

John: Terminator attack at school I wanted to get out and safe. We weren't tailed-

Cam: Yes...we thought it prodent to leave

Derek: Prudent. You know our guest John?

John: Yeah she's my Girl Keeley-

Keeley: *glances at John, then to Derek* 'We met awhile back...'

Derek just nods then notices Sarah's missing: Where's Sarah?

John: I dunno we just got back-

Keeley: Why don't you try calling her?

*John pulled out his cell and hit speed dial one and it rang and rang and rang- Cameron plled the phone out of my hand-*

Cam: I can extrapolate-

Keeley: *Staring at Cameron, not sure what sure was talking about * Extrapolate?

Derek: She can hack the frequency and zero Sarahs location shouldn't take her long at all

Keeley: I wouldn't mind having that whenever my little sister wanders off.

*Cam tosses the phone to John* Cam: She's near a Future Skynet Factory...Let's go

*I watch Cameron toss the phone back to John* Uh, all of us?

Derek: No. Cam and I. John...you and your friend stay put...shutters up. Full precautions.

Keeley: *I watch Cameron and Derek leave the house, not sure what he meant by 'shutters up', probably something simple but I'm still getting used to John being back in my life, I turn to him waiting to see what he does next.*

John: *I Move into the house and start locking all the windows, Deadbolting the doors and then some. Then I pull out my laptop and fire it up. Security camera viewpoints open up, I get on my phone 'We're secured'

Keeley: *I also walk into the house watching him go around different rooms, when he comes back,* 'Something bad is going to happen, right?

John: *I pull out a locked and loaded shotgun from its hiding place under the table* John: Be Prepared that's what I always say

*I watch him pull out the shotgun and swallowed hard, it's been too long, maybe there was a reason why we separated, I shoved that thought to the back of my mind* Be prepared, right, how long do we have to wait you think?

*I smile* John: 5 minuets seems like an hour. But this place is nigh on impregnable-

Keeley: *I look away to roll my eyes hoping he didn't see, but I return his smile* 'So I guess we just gotta sit and wait

*I take her hand* John: No worries...all the action will be where my Mom is....hungry?

*I smile as he takes my hand* 'Yeah I am, lead the way to your kitchen

*I turn up the volume on my laptop then lead you into the kitchen as usual we have enough to feed a small army* John: Help yourself.

Keeley: 'Thanks' *Once we're in the kitchen I look around, suddenly realising I don't really know what I want, I spy some cream biscuits and take one with caution, then I watched him* 'So, our Future... what did you think...?

John: I'm hoping I can stop the Destruction of the world part...but the you and me part....I quite like that. *Smiles nervously...and drops an egg-* Damnit-

*I smile* 'Yeah, I really want to know what made you go on that walk-' *I chuckle as you drop the egg and walk up to you-* 'Need some help?

John: Um...no...I got and even bigger mess- I am so inept in the kitchen. I shoulda made a Cup-u-Noodles'

*I laugh thinking he's being really cute* 'Well we make a good pair considering that. Why don't you make your Cup-u-Noodles instead-'

*Uses a really bug towel to mop up the sticky mess-* John Yes Ma'am! *with a wink and a smile adds water to his noodle cup heads to the microwave...pits it in for 3 mins and hits Nuke*

*Acting impressed, giving him a grin* Keeley: Wow haven't dropped or broken anything.... Yet

John: Yet *I respond as my computer beeps* Great...it's probably just a cat-

*I look towards the direction of the computer* Keeley: Most probably but you better check it'

*Moving over I look at the tracking cameras...what they show....is in fact a cat,* John: Cat.

*I follow and stand behind you quietly that you probably don't know I am that close, smirking to see it was a cat* Keeley: You should program it to ignore annoying animals

John: That will be the one day...Skynet reveals the use of kitty Units-

Keeley: Hey it'll stop us worrying over nothing

*I smile and change a few parameters and then go to fetch my noodles- Done....no more cats dogs or hedgehogs will set that off

*I watch the computer for a moment longer after you walk away, then walks back into the kitchen-* 'So now only robots will set it off, right-' *I lean against the bench*

*I nod in agreement … checking out her ass* Correctamundo

Keeley: I’m getting the hang of being around you again- *I catch him, walking up to him* What are you staring at?

John: something hotter than noodles that's for damn sure-

Keeley: Surely you can think of a better pick up line, Connor?

*It was at that time that I realized that it was now or never. I leaned in and started kissing My Keeley- and it wasn't no pussy maybe maybe not kiss- it was hot and full of passion-*

*I couldn't help it I needed this- it was something missing...something normal . I felt the passion flare up and I was adding tounge. How could I not be enraptured by this girl. It had been far too fraking long*

*Keeley felt like she was going faint being in his arms again and she loved it when he added that extra something. She let him go only to allow her hands wander him, down his sides they go…, mumbling*

“Damnit where have you been?”

"Away for far...too....long-"
