Last Outpost

(c) Copyright 2002, Katie McN It's inside me and I can't see it.
It's eating me and I'm dying.
I don't want to die. I won't die.
I'll go away.

Letitia's eyes opened slowly, as if afraid to discover the world again. The familiar ache in her bones told her that she'd been asleep for awhile, yet the same gunmetal gray walls and floor came into focus under the ultraviolet light. Numbly, she brought a hand up to her face and touched the spaces between eyes and nose with her first two fingers. The skin of her face felt cold but intact. She pushed and saw the slight discolorations in her vision that helped her realign both her internal and external worlds.
Too much sleep was bad for her. Too much consciousness was even worse.
Slowly, Letitia pushed herself up from all fours and stood awkwardly on her feet. The circular drain under the big toe and ball of her right foot impressed its brass grid into her vision. Letitia blinked. Then steadying herself, she moved to the wall in front of her and began to feel for the door latch. She found it and twisted. Grudgingly the mechanism began to work, its metal gears sliding noisily from 418 thousand years of disuse before popping the bolt free.
"You're here already." Letitia usually was first, but not this time. "Fuann, what's wrong?"
"It's a ship I think, and not the man. The is gone. The man is dead."
"How do you know this?"
"I just do and it's truth." Fuann stepped out of the Revival Box and tried to remember why she was awake. "The ship told me. Yes, the ship told me he died and left us alone forever."
"We don't serve him anymore. What will we do?"
Letitia was finished with the Box now and knew she was ready for her mission.
"She's calling us, Fuann. We have to go. She'll know and tell us everything." The habitat was in a new location. It would have moved many times over the years so the science machines could watch the nearby galaxy. Letitia didn't know much about this. She was built to love and care, but she liked what the science machines could do. She liked the rose bushes outlining the path to the highway.
If the was alive they would wear clothes. He liked them to wear clothes and very much so when they were outside. Today, they were naked as they walked down the hill. The road was only a few hundred meters from the habitat and the day was perfect, just like every other day of their lives.
A thorn cut her finger as she twisted another flower into the wreath. A beautiful crown for a beautiful princess. She was going to make one for Fuann and thought she should make one for the stranger, too. Yes, something pretty for the far away woman's hair. She could feel her now, but still didn't know what she looked like. The stranger must be tall and certainly she was beautiful. Letitia could feel all that now.
Letitia smiled at Fuann's impatience even though there was enough time. More than enough. The stranger measured life differently and could wait without care. Could wait for a very long time.
The women liked to touch. They held hands as they walked down the road toward the stranger. They couldn't see her of course, but they knew she was there. They could feel her call and each step brought them closer.
The planet was beautiful and reminded Letitia of her home planet so very far away. The science machines tried to make the planet feel like Terra. It was their work. They didn't like to talk, but would answer questions if they had the time. She learned a lot about the home planet from the science machines and why the habitat was here on Outpost. The had a mission, but the was dead. She liked the man, but of course she would. It was her role to love and care for him and anyone else who needed her. Fuann didn't need her love, but she secretly gave it to her anyhow. She hoped she was loved, too. A pink minaret speared the white cloud drifting slowly across the city. The city was new and not something the science machines would have built. Blue, gold, towers exploded into the sky. Roads divided the buildings in some not too obvious way and machine movement tied the scene with a ribbon of excitement. A splash of color. A dab of sound. Activity and purpose everywhere. The two android women felt they were finally home.
"Fuann, she's there. I see her waiting on the street near the pink tower."
She started moving before she answered. "We need to be with her." Fuann said. "We can't let her wait any longer."
The city welcomed them mind and body. The stranger waited, just down the street.
"I'm Galassia. I need your help."
They were inside the pink tower. Letitia didn't know how they got there, but she wasn't afraid. The room was too beautiful and Galassia wasn't a stranger anymore. They sat on pillows and could see the see the city through the transparent wall in front of them.
"You're so beautiful. I have a flower crown for you, but I don't think you should wear it. You're already perfect." Letitia thought about throwing the flowers away.
"Please, put the crown on my head. It's time for me to be like you two."
When Letitia was satisfied with how the flowers were arranged, she looked at the tall woman and was captivated by her eyes. She couldn't look away. She was an uncaring prisoner of something wonderful. There was an embrace and then a tiny kiss. There was some touching and then another kiss. There was a fire and then they kissed with a passion Letitia didn't know was inside her.
The tried to compose herself and said, "Where did that come from? You didn't tell me to kiss you. It just happened."
"It's what you wanted to do, wasn't it?" Galassia touched her on the cheek and said, "Is there something wrong doing what you want?"
"No, no. We never do what we want and so this is different for me."
Galassia turned and smiled at Fuann and said, "Your hair is black like the night. Can I touch it? Do you want to kiss me, too?"
The embrace lasted for what seemed like eternity. Somehow Letitia joined in and the three exchanged hugs, touches, kisses and more. It was very different. It was wonderful.
"I know you could do this forever, but we need to stop and talk."
For the first time in her machine existence Letitia didn't want to do what she was told. She sensed Fuann felt the same way. She was amazed and wondered how this happened.
"I think you two can help me. I want to fall in love and don't know how. I want to make love and need to learn what to do."
It didn't feel like a command, but Letitia knew she would help and felt Fuann would do the same. "It's what we do. We can help. We will help you, Galassia. We want to help you."
Letitia pushed the tall woman back on the pillows and their mouths joined once again. This time passion came easily and the two women could feel the fires building from the heat of their embrace. The second kiss lead to the third and the fourth and the many more.
Their tongues met in the dark cavern of the tall woman's mouth as she struggled to learn more. Galassia felt a hand trace a path down her back as it leisurely made it's way to her heart shaped ass.
Kiss. Kiss. Touch. Hold.
Hands moving over soft skin. touching firm breasts. Legs snaking between perfectly formed legs.
The tall woman felt something rush from the girl's body and travel a road to the secret place in her mind. An orange flash and lost in time and another place. Hot.
"Kiss me. Hold me. Fuck me." Galassia never felt anything like this before. It was new and different and she never wanted it to stop. "Come closer to me and be inside me."
They were laying on their sides when Galassia felt something nip at her ear lobe. The dark haired was joining in now and opening a new front. The tall woman felt a hand on her and felt the touch turn to electricity and surge through her body.
Sometimes when women make love things take time to get started. Maybe it was the wait for hundreds of thousands of years. Maybe it was because they really weren't women after all. Or, maybe it was something else. This time they were ready from the start and things only got better.
Galassia felt a thigh press up against her pussy. Her body took control and started rubbing against the welcome force. This was all so new. There were no words, just feelings and emotions. New emotions she never new existed.
She felt teeth gently tease her swollen nipples. A hand measured the firmness of her ass while two were crushed on her back as the body behind her tried to be in front.
A covered her face and she knew what to do. She learned from the tongue that was buried in her own cunt. She wanted to excite and tease and taste and enjoy.
She was up on all fours now and could feel pubic hair being ground into her ass by the person who was squeezing her tits. When she looked down, she saw a body writhing under her. That must be part of the force licking her wet. She could see juices between the two legs laying there on display and wanted a taste. She lowered her face to the banquet.
She found out how an orgasm felt. She found out more than once and it still wasn't enough. She learned how to trade her body for pleasure and always thought she got the best of the deal.
Time stood still forever. Again, more, yes, hold, kiss, cum, fuck, touch, feel, scream. Scream. SCREAM.
And then it stopped. "Was that love?" Galassia was radiant as she talked to her two lovers. "I felt something different and wonderful."
The laughed and then said, "No, we call that lust, but it's pretty nice when your doing it with friends."
"Well, what is love?"
"Fuann and I talk about this a lot. We think love is being able to share yourself with another person who needs you and is willing to share, too."
"I think you're too perfect for love." Fuann said. "Part of love is be able to accept something from another person. You're perfect, Galassia, and don't need anything from anyone. It's so sad for you."
Letitia couldn't understand the look on Galassia's face. There was a smile and something else. "You've helped me more than you could imagine. I'm going to leave you now, but first I want to give you a few gifts."
"Please don't leave us." Letitia said with obvious distress. "We want to be with you. We want to love you."
"I have to go, but I want you to have this city and the whole planet. You're going to live a very long time so if you get bored, you'll know how to go other places in the ship I've in the middle of the city. Anywhere in the galaxy is you home now. Just don't go near that ugly black thing in the center. It can kill you."
Letitia looked at Fuann and saw the same sadness in her eyes that tore her own heart apart. She wanted to say more, but new there really wasn't any way to convince Galassia to change her mind.
"I'm going to give you one more thing. I found something in each one of you that was broken and I fixed it. Now you can love each other." And, then she was gone.

"Did you see my star explode?"
"The whole Universe saw it, Galassia. Why did you do it?"
"I did it for you. I've watched you for a billion years and now I know I love you."
"What's love?"
"Don't worry. I'll show you as soon as I get there." The End Let me know what you think of my . . .
