That's how grown-ups are. If that's so, I'd be happier as a child, never growing up." - Washuu (Tenchi-Muyo!, OAV#8, Hello Baby) "All humans, without exception, want love. No organic or emotional, or psychological damage can remove that need. Humans can survive, albeit in pain, without being loved - but lock a man in a dungeon and he will find an ant to love, or try to. The sociopath, who feels no emotions, wishes he could love, and is driven mad by his impotence." - Michael Finn "Callahan's Secret New U: Ch.2 Getting to know you By Jeff Rose Jamie had been working for the three (now) young owners of New U Nanotech for about three months. The first week was spent moving him into his office/apartment above the garage. After that, things settled into a routine. The girls considered themselves to be semi-retired and spent minimal time in the lab, checking results and directing operations from across the country. The rest of the day was either spent "off", acting as Jamie's aid or performing normal household chores. The girls were dead set against hiring any further permanent help and so Jamie found himself enlisted in the cooking and cleaning as often as the rest. For Jamie's part, his days were spent setting up the equipment in the rec room, talking to a contractor about the new satellite system that would allow both sending and receiving for both entertainment and business, drilling holes and running conduit for the new LAN and at night setting up with his landscaping program and running the result by Anne. He didn't mind the cleaing/cooking as he began finding himself increasingly thinking of his employers as family. They went shopping together and even ate together. His friends got over ogling the girls and asking him embarrassing questions fairly quickly. All in all the only aspect of his employment that occasionally bothered him was the fact that they sometimes seemed to forget he was male. Being asked to help zip up a skirt here and catching Chris running around the house in her underwear (if that) there, was beginning to take its toll on his nerves among other things. It helped if he tried to think of them as his sisters. .. but not a lot. He was making his presence felt as well. Anne was finishing up reviewing a report from the coast when Chris came traipsing through. Although spring was definitely making it's presence known, the T-shirt and shorts Chris had on were a little on the chilly side yet. "Where are you going? It's nearly 9:30." "Jamie's got a copy of 'Fighting Street' for the Turbo Graphix and said I could try it out." "You know there are times I really wish I never introduced you to Pac-Man back in 78." "You thought it was so-ooo cute." "Not after the 3,000th time you forced me to play. Won't you be cold in that?" "In what?" "To quote Jamie,'My point exactly'". Anne sniffed, "Are you wearing perfume? Why do you tease that.." "At 30 years old he's hardly a boy. Sheesh! Look at us! I haven't felt, much less looked this good in longer than that." Chris said as she pirouetted practically into Anne's lap. "I should think that we deserve to have just a little fun in these new bodies." She promptly collapsed into a sitting position next to her freind."Or has it been so long since you've had some innocent fun with a known harmless guy that you can't remember the fun of the tease?" "He just reminds me of my nephew, I don't want any of us to hurt him." Anne got a distant look in her eye, then shook her head. Jamie was not Scott. "Or anything else. He's an employee." "Who lives with us and is a lot of fun to be around and helps remind me I'm a 25 year old again every time he blushes." Chris counted off while giggling. "Alright! Alright. Off with ye, you brazen hussy! I need to file this report then off to bed." Chris kissed her best friend on the cheek and made a conscious effort to bounce out of the room. She paused at the stair though. "What happened to Scott wasn't your fault Anne. Jamie isn't going to do that. And besides, he's with us now!" Anne held herself perfectly still until she heard Chris pad up the stairs, then shook slightly as the picture of her nephew's body floated back into her mind again. Jamie had found a fellow addict for support in his video game habit in Chris. She had tagged along on his little expedition last Saturday and he had to admit they'd had fun poking around the North Point Flea Market. She even understood when he showed her the stall that contained a mint copy of the "Valis" Hu-Card for his Turbo Graphix. The $100 price tag was outside his ability to justify even with his new job. She had offered to spot him the cash but friend or not, that was just too expensive. "George, will eventually figure out I'm the only one interested and cut me a deal" "Or he will find someone willing to part with that much cash.", countered Chris. "Then I won't be tempted to blow the money any more.", he grinned, and dragged her to another booth before she talked him into buying the thing. Right now however, she seemed grimly determined to kick his butt from one end television screen to the other. Jamie wasn't at his best playing fighting games (He preferred Role Playing Games) and the way Chris insisted they sit next to each other on the floor meant he was continually reminded of the female beside him. Her perfume tugged at his nostrils and he felt quite like the naughty schoolboy when he realized his left knee was touching Chris' bare right thigh. He shifted position, but his lack of attention to the game left him openfor Ryu's dragon punch. He rallied and was distracted again when her elbow caught his arm. He noticed then that when she blocked, she pulled the controller into her chest, drawing the material of her loose T-shirt across her petite breasts. Even though he didn't glance again, knowing that eventually he would be caught, every now and again Chris' elbow would catch his arm and the image of what she looked like would pop into his mind. It threw his timing off and was resulting in an impressive run of wins for Chris. They went through an hour of this when there was a knock on the door. Chris was about to suggest they throw quit Fighting Street and try Bomberman SS when someone knocked on the door. Jamie paused the game, smiled apologetically, and got up. Jamie opened the door. Beth was holding the tape he had lent her yesterday. She was dressed in a dark green silk housecoat and matching pajamas. Bringing the cassette case up to her head and waggled it, smiling."Jamie I think you..." Her eyes were a little puffy but Jamie saw open wide as a blush started spreading across her cheeks. Chris had put Fighting Street away and began looking over the shelves Jamie set up in his room to hold his games. Finding Bomberman, she turned to the open doorway already aware that Beth was there from the voice. She was surprised to see the rapidly darkening blush on Beth's face though. Beth looked even younger than her biological age of 30, Chris thought as she spouted; "Beth! C'mon in, we were just playing." "I, er .. was just giving this back." Beth stated, trying to regain her composure. "Jamie let me borrow it." "This is just too good to let go." was all Chris could think as she walked purposefully toward the couple. "Jamie I'm surprised at you. Indulging Beth's perverted need for porn.", she scolded , wagging her finger in front of Jamie's face. As the color drained from his features and Beth's jaw dropped in shock, Chris deftly plucked the video from Beth's nerveless fingers. "Hey, Idon't watch or have any stuff like that!!", Jamie protested. Chris noted just how upset he was getting. Best to move him on before this gets serious. Glancing at the case she saw it was an anime titled Only Yesterday. The cover showed a young woman dressed casually, holding the hand of a much younger girl with a slightly bewildered look. This just kept getting better. "What kind of incestuous prattle is this?" Beth was getting irritated now. "It's nothing of the sort!" "We'll see." Chris tossed the video to Jamie. "You! Get some popcorn started and load this into the VCR in the rec room. Beth and I will get Anne and let her decide just what kind of film this is. Jamie froze for an instant, then left. As Beth heard him hit the stairs, she reached out and pulled Chrisin close. "What the hell are you up to now?", she demanded. "C'mon, let's get Anne. She's spent the day analyzing those Pro-j reports from Dana and looks like she could use the kind of movie that would give 'big tough Beth' those happy-ending-crying-eyes.", she paused outside Anne's door a threw a mock serious look at Beth. "Has anyone ever toldyou what a cynic you are?" Beth's blush revived a bit as she grinned."Nope. Anyone told you how twisted you are?" "Just you and Prof Hanson." "Hanson ...?" "You remember, our ethics prof? The one who way too into Machievelli and Nietzsche. Anne was watching the news when Chris and Beth dragged her down to the rec room. She had protested, claiming she needed to get up early and help Jamie with breaking ground for one of the garden plots. She was surprised to find out that Jamie had been roped into this however, with the Tape queued up and popcorn ready. Chris made a big production of presenting the "prosecution's case" and begging Anne to make final judgement as to the pornographic content of the film. As the movie progressed, Anne had to admit it was gorgeous. She had always thought of Disney and Bugs Bunny whenever she thought of cartoons. But this quietly fnny and genuinely touching story about one woman's journey of self-discovery while vacationing in the Japanese countryside with the memories of her five year old self contrasting the action, left all three girls misty eyed. As the movie came to a close, Anne glanced down at the Kleenex box in her lap as a hairy hand plucked a couple of tissues as nonchalantly as possible. "All cynics are closet romantics.", Jamie's disembodied voice explained flatly as the end credits rolled. They left the empty popcorn bowels to be cleaned the next day.
