TERMINATOR: Past Mistress [Completed]

     We were back by the small house, but we had to walk, being really far away. As we walked, I asked Pops a bunch of questions, now that he was back in his old, wrinkly, form. Catherine was slightly wrinkled, with grey hairs, too, but she wasn't so old looking like Pops.

"Pops, did we just affect Sarah's past?" I asked.

"No. Since she was already saved by me, she'll always remember that." Pops answered. "Do not tell her anything."
"Yes sir. And who's the girl you're dating?"
"I'm Cathy." She answered, leaning on Pops.

I giggled, liking the fact Pops was dating a human. "I'm Randi. Nice to meet you."

When we returned, I found my parents on the front porch, sitting on the stairs, going on about their stories about when they were young, while Reese and Sarah just made a few jokes.

"We're alive!" I yelled.

I run to my parents, hugging them, as they have smiles of relief on their faces. "Dad, sorry about what happened back there. It's just me and love."
"I forgive you." Dad said.

"Whoa, Pops. You're dating?" Reese asked.

"Correct. I found love." Pops answered.

Sarah laughed, even though she was slightly surprised.

It was Friday night. My parents, Reese, Sarah, Pops, and Cathy were dancing around the living room to 80's music, while I was outside by the pool, reading a book How to be a Proud Virgin. It was depressing really, especially with all of the forced needs to be drunk, so you'd forget about being single.

"Hey Randi." Curtis greeted.

I looked up to him. "Hey! How are you?"
"Pretty good. What about you?"

"I'm fine." I said.

He sat beside me, and Pops and Cathy came out, sitting beside us.

"Nice night, huh?" Cathy asked.

"Yes, it is." Pops agreed, wrapping an arm around her.

"Yeah..." I yawned, leaning on Curtis's shoulder.

I immediately got off of him, remembering how Dad didn't want me around Curtis.

"So, Pops got a girlfriend?" Curtis questioned.

"Yeah, that's odd." I answered.

Cathy slapped me on the shoulder, later kissing Pops just to rub in the fact she could kiss someone and I couldn't.
