Author's Chapter Notes:
Sorry about the long wait, but I had to re-imagine the reminder of the story, as I found some problems with... Well, You'll see – a lot of things. At least the plot seems solid now, all the way to the end.

But getting back, at least now I have two chapters ready to be published – maybe even enough to inspire some hope :)

Oh, and I think those two chapters (8 and 9) are best read together – to better understand the different perspectives.






Amber lies on her back trying to enjoy the minute sensations around her body. The last few days turned out quite alright, despite Nicole's omens and general bad feeling she had as well. Her two zones are quite nice, maybe not as good as the other seconds got, but still – five plus six million was good, much better than what she was prepared for... She was not jealous about others – Nicole got seven zones or so, just smaller – two or three million each, to roughly match Kate's twenty million – Erica always has to be the best in everything – but even then Amber doubts Kate's zone is so small.. the amount of big cities could hold twice that many micros! Or at least thirty...

It does not matter now, especially how Lauren's micros are working on her breasts, hands and thighs... She told them to sit back and enjoy how a “Lady” should be treated – so Amber does just that. Maybe with some occasional twitch and tap to enjoy the feeling of sending hopeless micros to their deaths – but not enough to get noticed by Lauren just next to her. Yes, the invitation to Lauren's place came as a surprise as well, Amber does not remember firsts ever talking about such privilege. Maybe the Nicole's plan worked and they were taken more seriously? Either way – the colonies seem worthless right now... hundred thousands each? Pathetic.

“Oh, that hits the spot”, she thinks as some micros are particularly busy on her left nipple – which is actually becoming erect with the extra attention, but she tingling stops after a moment... did she kill them? Puny micros... but she does feel even better with this thought.

Amber opens her eyes to participate in the discussion – maybe if she is a nice friend, then Lauren will invite her over again? It feels like her zones will take forever to reach this level of training, the smaller one is barely familiar with basic rules and the larger... is not trained at all! So ridiculous.. every time she enter it, she feels more like playing with them than training... Good thing that the micros she moved from the other one to lead seem to be doing their jobs.

Just sit back and enjoy – is this how a Lady feels? If so then she definitely wants to be one! Trying to pay a bit of attention to what Nicole and Lauren are talking about she notices it's still the meaningless banter about how the graduations turned out – who cares, if it was up to Amber, she would give the zones and get out. Even the one the party took place in.. everybody seemed to have extra fun back there. She even heard Lauren mentioning at the end something about having to dump it on behalf of the micros being either dead or driven insane... Could micros be crazy? It feels too emotional for those dots...

But now she looks for an appropriate moment to join the discussion and after Nicole thanks again for the opportunity to see how an experienced adult organizes her zones and Lauren replies, a period of silence comes.

“Hey, Lauren – I do not want to be mean, but.. aren't You treating the micros here a bit too gently?” - she asks, trying not to mention Rachel or any other crazy things.

“Oh, Amber – how cute it feels that you seem to be confused about the basics” - Lauren replies ambiguously and continues - “When you arrived here, or when you were sitting down breaking the head platform” - yeah, they kept making fun of that, it actually felt bad now, since Kate and Amber were getting their haircare - ”when you looked down, what did you see?”

“Well.. cities, towns, plants?”

“Yes, but also...?”

“The cosmetics spots?” - Nicole throws away, unsure of what Lauren is getting to...

“Yes, they are also here, but what could you see in all those places?” - Lauren continues her line of inquiry, Nicole laughs, likely delighted by her friends apparent bewilderment.

Thinking about the question for a moment, Amber responds: “The micros?”

“Yes – the 'micros', but that is also your problem. Whenever you look down you see just micros. You probably want to play with them immediately, disregarding any logic and reason – not thinking about the consequences. I remember we mothers were like that once as well, a long time ago – but over time most of us learned it is better not to be hasty and learn to savour the feeling.” - fortunately they cannot see her, layng down on their backs with head looking up, when she blushes, feeling shameful about reference to her mother – which was obviously the point of the “most of” part, but Lauren continues:

“Now I can also understand how one may want to have some fun, but there are things beyond that. You can enjoy them in so many other ways – but it takes so long to figure out arrangements that satisfy you... It takes so long for them to figure out ways how to make you happy. Sure, I may sometimes participate in some quicker forms of fun, but it feels boring and repetetive – once you learn how to enjoy yourself more throughoutly.”

Amber thinks about this for a moment and unsure what she heard means and thinking about the school, she starts: “But isn't that what...”

“Look,” - Lauren interrupts - “I'm trying to say that I have also discovered other things. Where you see only micros – I also notice hairdressers, tit massagers and manicurists, as well as other professions...” - and giggles - “And it takes them not only a long time to figure things out, but they also require motivation and maybe even some concern. This is why you may perceive this zone as rather neat and tidy – in reward for them gratifying my needs, the least I can do is keep them safe.”

Yes. She made it absolutely clear when they arrived - “No cruelty”. Even with such hasty nature, Amber's would not try to openly act against a mother's order. Still, could she make her micros behave like this? Perhaps if she only had fun with one of her zones and trained the other to “gratify” her... Uh, a tingle on her thighs close to the pussy excites her a lot. Amber almost wants to push those micros in, but she does not want to anger Lauren and... this also feels pretty nice – maybe she could enjoy her micros as well?

Either way, after a long period of silence, Lauren adds: “This is probably just what Kate here is doing with her zone, isn't that right?” and laughs softly.

“Well... yeah... sort of...” - Kate responds. She has been awfully quiet the whole time.. maybe it's one of the effects of her lack of “social skills”. Well, it now makes some sense – but she does not need to keep all of them alive! “I mean seriously... no fun at all? How long it will take her to train them anyway...” - Amber concludes. It is also funny how even though Lauren asked them in the beginning to undress to enjoy some of the extra attention to some parts of their bodies, Kate thanked but refused, saying how - “she does not feel like it right now” and only accepted some haircare.

Hell, she could use some... her locks are clearly getting out of control – usually Kate's hair was short and smooth but now just randomly flowing below her neck... She could simply ask for Amber's help, maybe some cut... they could bond a bit while she helped. It clearly shows that Kate cut herself – such uneven and disorderly mane.. even Amber, who usually isn't much for the looks, feels a bit too messy.

Either way, Nicole starts complementing Lauren on how brilliantly she arranged her zone and how she would sometimes be so skilled and proficient... going back to the random banter.

Maybe Amber could ask for some haircare as well? She looks around at the crumbling towers around her head, that used to allow micros to work on the hair of whoever laid in the spot. She almost feels angry at the micros for not fixing it for her, but... Lauren mentioned that it takes much longer to fix this. Well.. they sure seem bigger than any building Amber has ever seen – even in Kate's zone, where some of the skyscrapers were really...

She wonders how fun would it be to have something like that in one of her zones to play with, she would surely be able to feel things like that properly... Not like those pathetic lumps of dirt she has, crumbling at the slightest touch. Yes, she will definitely need to order her micros to build like that. Even if she decides not to use the structures for anything more than some quick pleasure, it will be much more rewarding, she concludes watching how one of the towers actually remained mostly upright – after her crashing her head just next to them...

But Amber also tries to listen to some thoughts Lauren seems to be sharing with them now on how to be a mature Caretaker, especially now – after their graduations. How to make sure to diversify their zones applications – whatever that means, make sure to colonize, if they want to have a supply of micros for fun – and, most imporantly, learn to wait for the results...

Yeah, she can remember from school that everything takes so long, but she never expected it to be this bad.. wait “years” before a colony grows up? The gifts from Nicole and Kate look truly meaningless now... And all that about supplying them with materials and tools – sounds sooo boring!

Amber remembers how tedious and complicated it seemed, when Rachel was trying to teach them basics of assembler use in school – even with her help locking the results and double checking the materials, it seemed hard and unrewarding... after all, the micros would now really benefit from some tiny tools and devices, right?

Shouldn't they fix their own problems, anyway? That was Nicole's approach – she did not even bother to try that... Amber was half bored and.. maybe a bit curious. But to do it now? Especially with everybody seeming to want to use the assembler... She heard Kate complain slightly about Lauren taking half of her food.. “syntaetizers?” - whatever they were, just before they entered this zone. She would not dare to complain in the presence of Lauren, but while still in the facility... She knew they were her friends and would not tell.

Kate also mentioned how they would surely help her micros – even after Amber's actions... - how much shit is she going to keep giving her for that little play. Seriously, not even the entire city... and she has so many of them left! It should be Kate to offer her some fun. This behaviour of her is so greedy and needy. But Amber will show her, yeah! She will have more fun with her micros than Kate ever has in her zone!

With that thought she hears a mention them running out of micros, if not being careful.

“Whoa, but isn't like impossible? Even after the restrictions, there are so many of them everywhere...” - Amber interrupts Nicole and Lauren exchanging their views.

“Oh, Amber, acute as always” - Lauren comments - “there may be still lots of them left, but if we are not careful, then who knows.. in five or ten years... Sometimes I almost want to start doing what Amy does, colonizing like crazy – You'll see how in a couple decades she will be able to afford lots of fun... But I'm too lazy for that, all the effort – I just want to have 'some' fun while not exerting myself too much, right?”

“Of course, and how nicely done!” - Nicole, acquiescing as usual, resuming their “conversation”.

Amber is again puzzled... she heard Amy is colonizing hundreds and hundreds of zones, but... It has always escaped her why she would do that. It's not like she could have fun with the colonies, it's ridiculous – maybe when they are grown... But now she heard that requires a lot of effort... What if her colonies do not grow up properly? Maybe she should at least try to provide them with something?

Nah, if the stupid micros fail, she can always make new colonies – and bother about the problem later.

But what Lauren said.. “execting too much”... has she had to care about the micros for them to come up with such zone as this one? It almost sounds like one of the Rachel's ideas.. and it just does not make sense – but never mind. If something goes wrong, Amber can always ask Lauren or even Rachel for some advices. That's what the school was, after all – right?

All those questions and possible problems... Now she just lays there and tries to enjoy the tingling feelings she can feel here and there. The micros started work on her left nipple again – and although it seems less energetic, it is still fun – especially combined with the right, and the tiny sensations from the base of her boob.

Yes, she can now understand what Nicole meant by “other ways of having fun” so many times in the past – Amber heard her mentioning that Erica gave her daughter access to her salon zone, she must have experienced this previously. That is probably why she can chatter all the time – sometimes Amber is simply amazed by the little prickles and movements around her body. Like now she just cannot help but to let out a soft moan – which does not escape the attention of others, apparently being considered indelicate in a mature “party”. Was this what they are having here? None of the firsts games seemed so complex and deep... And also not close this rewarding...

“... but I think we have had enough fun here, we should finish up before little Amber here flows my land with her nectar, so girls just stay still for some time now, before I tell you you can stand up.” - Lauren concludes, apparently also instructing the micros to leave their posts. She did that several times before.. a couple seemingly unrelated words and they started acting differently on Amber's body. Why even bother with... but since she does not want to quarrel, she just remains still. Well, mostly... Amber hopes some micros were still on her fingertips when she twitches them a tiniest bit.

When Lauren announces all is ready and they can rise up, she does exactly that – and notices how nice Nicole and Kate suddenly look. Especially Kate – with her straightened and rearranged hair... the micros did not cut it, as much as just smoothed and organized it. It seems seems like Laurens style.. only more natural and friendly. Yes, Nicole is almost nude – just like Amber, only in her panties – and she thought about maybe having some fun with her friend sometime. There was nothing wrong with some playtime between friends, after all... But even though Nicole's nudity was nice and tempting, Kate seems now simply so much more attractive, even while being fully clothed – just like Lauren, who strangely asked them to disrobe despite leaving her own attire on. Clothed like Lauren, not attractive – even a thought of engaging in any kind of sexual activity with a mother feels disgusting... Yuck.

Anyway, playtime with Kate is just another idea to consider about after this “party” - Amber feels like she has discovered the pleasures anew. So much to think about...

As they say their goodbyes preparing to leave, she honestly thanks Lauren for having them and goes to her quarters to quickly get herself off, recalling the visit.





Chapter End Notes:
Some casual, light erotica in this one – I am not sure if girls would feel about the events, so if anybody has any thoughts or suggestions... I only know how the situation excites me a bit – especially imagining the “gratification” from the littles perspective – but I think it should be obvious and I do not need to necessarily pov it...?

And as always – let me know what you think!
