Memoirs of the Pharaohs

Jenny grinned widely when Sally said she loved her too. But then she got distracted when her girlfriend's hand moved. "Oh Sally!" This was pure bliss, her back arched and all she could do was call out Sally's name. She tried to catch her breath but she had a hard time doing so. "You know you are pretty amazing when you are in charge. We got to do that more often."

"I love it when you say my name," purred Sally as she rested herself against Jenny. "You want me in charge more? I can do that!" she teased with a wink. "It might be hard once we... leave her though..."

Jenny looked up suspicously. "What do you mean, it will be hard once we leave here?"

"I just mean... till we get things... worked out..." said Sally, kicking herself for spoiling the moment.

"But you want us to work things out right?" Jenny's hand was slowly running down Sally' spine. Jenny knew they were going fast and somewhere deep down she was scared that it was the book and once they were back in their own world both of them would sober up and... think that this was a mistake. "You don't think this is the book, I mean us? If it is... " Jenny was wondering what a broken heart would feel like, what it would make her do.

"Of course I do," insisted Sally, though Jenny's next words were like a bucket of ice water. She sat up, leaning back against the chariot sides. "I... I was... wondering that. Whoever we 'are' in this story, it's clear we're meant be be a family, so our feelings... might be being messed with. Bit... did you... feel anything before we were pulled inside?"

A wide grin spread across her face when she nodded sheepishly. "I thought you were insane to go into the temple alone and try to find something but I knew that I can't let you go aone because you could get hurt and that thought made my heart stop. And no I did not think that because I'm normally on the side saving people. It was more, I had to help you, because I had to be with you."

"I'm not insane... I think... maybe I am. But that's not important. What is, is the fact you felt something BEFORE the book. That means it's real," said Sally

"But I love your own unique insanity. I'm a girl that plays with fire how is that sane?" Jenny looked a while at Sally. "Yes I did feel something for you before and I thought I must be insane because you are a girl. I never felt anything for a girl, I never thought more than another girl is pretty but not attractive and I couldn't stop looking at you. What about you, did you feel anything before? Except that you thought I was annoying you and interfering with your plan?" Jenny loved the feeling of the burning sun on her skin. She never felt so free in New York but at the same time she always did feel at home in New York. "I want to have a life with you and not a fantasy like this. I want you to argue with my dad about an invention and if I should use gadget and then realise that you do agree on something. I want Sekhmet to play with Dirk's kids. I want to see her in school recitals and talk with her about boyfriends or girlfriends and not arrange a marriage most suitable for the kingdom. I know this might be selfish because you think I have a grand life back home and you feel like you don't but I will make sure that you have a life worthy of you. Not sure how but I will do anything!"

Jenny looked with pure honesty at Sally. "All of this apart from us is not our lives. Eventually it would catch up with us."

Sally giggled. "It looks like we're insane together!" He smile grew larger as Jenny explained how she felt. "I... I did feel that a little, but I also....I felt... something else, when we met, as we talked. I wasn't sure what it was, but now..." she ran her fingers alongs Jenny's body, "I think I have a good idea!" She gave a sly smile.

The smile dropped as she listened to Jenny's wishes. She felt the opposite, she wanted to stay her where to her mind everything was perfect. But then, given how this life wasn't real, could she really live with it?

Sally didn't reply. She stared off into the distance, trying to wrap her head around her feelings. Though jer face lacked the usual angry and hard look it had when Jenny brought up her father.

"I am honestly sorry you had such a bad life. But it will get better now, I promise."

Jenny kissed Sally gentle and smiled. "We got to practice not to ruin the momemt after we had amazing sex. I think why I don't want to stay here is because it is just a cage, I admit it is a beautifu but a cage never the less. We wanted to play and spend the day with Sekhmet and now we are on a mission to catch raiders... I was caged after I came back, I know it was not as pretty as this and rather the empty bare one but it was a cage."

Jenny was quiet for a moment. 

"I'm sorry I don't want the same as you do. If we stay here forever and not get send back when the chapter is over, I will make the best of this life. A couple of months ago I would have stayed in a heartbeat, but it is different now. I think eventually we would get bored here, eventually we would resent each other because you and I are the only ones that know what will happen in the next centuries, you and I will be the only one understanding jokes and references we make and eventually she will grow tired of it. We don't belong here and no matter how much we try we will never belong here we will be the odd ones out and you and I both know how that feels."

Small flames were dancing along Sally's body not to seduce her but more to increase the touch of Jenny.

"I think you and I were for too long the weird ones, the freaks its time we become the norm and as pharaohs well they are basically seen as Gods definitely not normal. We deserve normal. And you deserve a family that is more than just me and you and Sekhmet, I'll make mine like you! I'll make them take you in."

"It will... get easier not to ruin the moment once everything is... settled," said Sally. "You're right, it is a cage. Yet... even a cage like this is better than what I had but...." she looked at Jenny scared. "What if we go back and I get put into a worse cage? Then I won't be there for you or Sekhmet. I would take the risk of us getting tired with each other over that!" Sally was starting to sound panicky, but the feeling of flames moving over her started to calm her down.

"Maybe... normal could be good. But I'm not sure I can do normal!"

"Yeah normal... it's very weird." Jenny held her tightly. "I told you I make sure you will be alright! You won't get into a worse cage. There are a few things we will have to figure out but it will be okay. We could open a racing team, you do the building side I do the driving side. Find a little garage with a house, I'd even do it as a real legal team." Jenny giggled. "I do miss racing, not so much my crazy stunts but the real racing that was fun. I will take care of you and Sekhmet."

Jenny smiled a little. "I love this just you and me no clothes and no interruptions. So you said you could build something to look into my head? It would be nice to remember at least some things of my past. One true memory is all I hope for, one memory I can cling to in the moments I forget that the rest is false. You know a memory so special that is always pops in your head the moment you think of a person. When I think of you it the moment I kissed you the first time, you were so shocked and wanted to push me away but you were drawn to the warmth of my lips and you tasted so incredible good!"

Sally gave a happy sigh. The image Jenny was creating, of the two of them working together as a race team, started to have a real appeal to the girl. "I.. I like that idea. No, I love it!" she smiled, trying to pull Jenny closer.

"I.. I can't promise it will work, but I'll do my best," Sally promised. As expected, she began to blush as Jenny brought up their first kiss. "I... I don't think I will ever forget that, and I don;t want to," she said with a smile, putting her fingers to her lips as she remembered the feelings.

"My dad gave me a great bike we fixed it up these past months it's amazing! I can't wait to take you on a spin." Jenny liked how close Sally was to her.

"I'm sue you manage something and I am an easy subject to build stuff for. No matter what the machine does I will heal."


Jenny giggled. "I was so nervous when I kissed you I wasn't sure why I kissed you just tha I knew I wanted to and then I was scared that you would stab me with one of your bolts. Actually I was sure you would do that."

Jenny enjoyed looking at Sally, her hair looked like it was on fire in the sun.

For a moment Sally's smile vanished. She had hoped to make Jenny something from scratch, but it sounded as if, once again, that had been snatched from her. For Jenny's sake, she tried to hide her disappointment, but Jenny's insistence on repeatedly bringing up her father was starting to grate against Glitch. "I'm sure that will be fun," she replied, her voice perhaps a little flatter than it should be.

"No.... no you won't," said Glitch, looking away as Jenny insisted she'd be fine. "You can heal your body, but the mind is not so resilient. If it was, you would already remember."

Glitch managed to laugh a little as Jenny brought up being stabbed by a bolt. "Yike you just said, that would have been pointless.... actually..." a sly grin crossed her face. "That could be an idea." Glitch started fishing through her coat.

Jenny sighed. She tried so hard with Sally. "Sorry I try stop mentioning him. And just because I have a bike doesn't mean I don't need another one. Or a nice race car. I mean the race team idea, since lets face it that is all I can do, race."

Jenny looked at Sally. "I had head injuries I always healed. But I guess there is a point sort of."

Jenny leaned forward half laughing half worried and tried to grab Sally's hands. "Whoa! Wait, no. I thought we are past that? What are you doing."

"Please do," said Glitch. "Look, I know you like him, but you can't just magically flip a switch in my head and make me like him too. It's already hard enough."

She gave a sigh. "I just... I don;t want to hurt you. And you might heal, but you're not immortal."

Glitch looked down at the bolt in her hand and grinned. "Well I don't have powers to cause little flurries of excitement like your fire does, but I think some of my gadgets might be able to."

Jenny bit her lip. "I know you don't magically like him. I think I was so used to hating him all this time that it is hard now that I know it was all a lie not to like him. He is... nevermind. I'll promise I try not to mention him anymore!"

Jenny looked surrpised at Sally. She knew she is not immortal but since she was healing from so far anything without a scar she liked to forget that. "Yeah I know that, it's just easy to forget."

Jenny starred at the bolt, she knew whatever that bolt did to her she would heal and still it freaked her out. "Er... what kind of bolt is this?" She asked unsure.

Glitch grew more and more tense as Jenny went on, her whole body language screaming 'please be quiet'. She gave a sigh of relief and relaxed as Jenny said she'd try not to mention him.

"Please don't forget," Glitch begged. "I don't want anything to happen to you."

She gave Jenny a wink. "Stun!" Glitch said, as the tip sprung open, revealing a small charger unit inside, sparking with electricity. "I'll dial it down so it doesn't hurt. Just... feel interesting."

"WHOA! WHAT? I thought you said I should not forget I can die, does getting stunned not count as something happening to me. I bet you bolts take in account supers that are stronger than normal humans." Jenny suddenly got really nervous. She trusted Sally but still the thought of being stunned scared her.

Glitch blinked, then sighed. "Forget it. It was a silly idea." She slipped the bolt back into her jacket, then her jacket back on. "We better get going. Everyone will be wondering where we are."

Jenny put her hand in the jacket pocket and pulled the bolt out again. "Explain what you want to do. You can't blame a girl for being scared can you? Not scared of you just... I react funny to drugs, tried them all I don't like any they lets just say I don't get the fun high from them. So this scares me a little. Not saying I don't want to try it. So what to I do just stab myself with it?" Jenny ignored that Sally thouht the others would be here soon, she wanted Sally to know that she trusted her.

"What, no, nothing like that," said Glitch. "See, it has an electrical charge in it. I thought if I made the power really low, it would feel kinda like those flame you move over me," she explained.

"Oh!" Jenny looked sheepishly at the bolt. "I told you I don't do technology. Okay that does sounds kind of cool. Okay try it." Jenny smiled shy.
