Approximate time: 8:40pm
Evening was just about over. After an afternoon of fighting, KITT was glad of the peace. In his 'Normal Mode', KITT's mustang form pulled into a random park that had rolling mini hills of tall grass. It was pretty quiet here at this time. From inside the darkened windows, KITT's holoform appeared in a few flickers of energy. He rested on the hood of his form, with one leg propped up and the ankle resting on that knee, a casual, cross legged type position. His arms were criss-crossed behind the back of his head against the dark winshield. The red scanner just a little less than a foot beyond and a couple inches under his feet continued to pace in and out as they always did, humming lightly.
"Okay, maybe I don't mind being bored,"KITT said quietly, staring up at the bluish purple sky. Evening was just about complete now, and it was almost dusk; there was a bit of vermilion and pink in the horizon and the wispy horse tailed cirrus clouds that patched the sky like scattered, weak smoke. He'd been to this spot once or twice, and the little trails that ran through here and some pats of suburbia were pretty nice, he'd walked here plenty with Corina. He mentally sighed, trying to push that name out of his mind. He tried to smile, but it felt so fake...
Danielle was here with him now, and with regarding what he knew about her so far, she wouldn't want to sit around for very long. "I like it here," he added, a dash of cheerfulness shifting in his typical steady voice.

Danny was taking her usual ''sneak out at night'' walk, but it didn't matter if she was sneaky or not anymore since her Dad was never home. She seemed like a normal person, doing a normal speed, and she liked that. She wasn't exactly in the mood to run, but of course, if she had to she would. It was time to relax.
Turning to the park where she usually stared up at the sky she sighed to herself a bit. Her Dad used to take her here when she was little. They'd play around, then someone would need him. He'd drop her off at home or with a baby sitter, then leave as usual. Her expression seemed to sadden, but then turn to a scowl as she scorned herself through her thoughts. He was probably the ONLY medic of all the Autobots, she wouldn't expect anything more. She just wished she could give him a hug or something before he leaves. He likes to sneak away now to avoid Danny following him.
Through her thoughts, she was still unknowingly walking. She couldn't help but think about Ratchet. What if he's hurt and that's why he's been gone so long? Or being a war prisoner? She needed to get these thoughts out of her mind. She was partnered with Kitt now and now she could help. Her dad had always told her to stay out of the way, because she'd just slow him and other Autobots down... No he wouldn't be a war prisoner. Why isn't 'Prime doing something about it? She rubbed her forehead from an on coming head ache with her eyes closed before reopening them. Or what if he's... "WHOA!" She jumped quickly with her hands up ready to chop something.
".. Oh heh, hi Kitt." She said in an embarrassed manner trying not to go red from being so jumpy with her lack of paying attention. Wait to go Danny, that's a real nice impression of how his new partner is. She put on a friendly smile, one you'd see on a nice dog that was wagging it's tail, ears down, and coming over in a nice calm matter to come see you with a big smile on their face. She laid down next to Kitt with her arms behind her head to look up at the sky, right leg stretched out straight, the other bent half by the knee. "The sky is nice tonight eh Kitt? Usually I stay until the stars are shining." Whenever the stars shined it always made herself feel better about missing her dad. He used to tell her 'As long as the stars shine, I'll be here with you, as long as the stars shine, you're world will stay heavenly blue' then hug her and read her a story before bed if he had the time.
She stared up at the coloring sky, waiting to see if Kitt had any ideas for tonight or etc.

KITT remained where he was, unflinching and emotionless when she shouted at him. He tilted his head, glancing over at her a bit, his eyes glowing like a demon's from the light bouncing off of them. A calm breeze shifted through the area.
"Good evening, Danielle. Honestly I'd like to have a quiet evening. I was just going to walk around. Unless you have something else in mind, like training."

Danny stared at the sky for a moment before continuing with a replying comment. "We can just relax if you want or train, up to you. Heh, walking around was what I was doing too..."
Having her head in the freakin clouds worrying about her dad was what she was really doing.

KITT was silent for a bit, staring at the darkening sky. "Well let me think about how we could train first. Speed is the last thing you'd need to work on." KITT said, his tone still blank.
"Could spar I guess, though I'm quite keen on spending most of my time sitting here or walking. No, not high speed walking." KITT added. He remained still, feeling a bit funny that Danielle was right next to him on his own true form, but he wasn't too bothered. "Your pick."

Danielle wasn't sure exactly why Kitt kept bringing up parts on her speed, him not wanting to run around but relax. "Hmn..." It didn't take her long, still staring at teh sky with a calm, rather unreadable expression, this was a side to her not most were able to see often. At night she just seemed calmer, unless someone decided to mess with her of course, but just didn't seem like the active, roaming Danny was here at the moment. The one that had caused sommany famous ''disasters'' mostly on hollidays that usually had the crowds of the world raving in wonder if there was aliens among them. At this thought she merely chuckled. "I supposed if you'd like, we could relax for awhile and then train afterwards, heh, you look like you could use a break." She was still lightly soar about earlier events, but she seemed to have been healing up rather quickly even for her abnormalities. Maybe runnig wasn't the only thing sped up for her. Though, it's not like injuries magically healed in days for her either. Still staring up at the sky, her thoughts were mixed through listening to her surroundings, Kitt's suttle behavior, lightly her father, and Karr. She needed to not be so careless next time, and there was no way she was letting Kitt down, Kitt got a pretty severe beating and it was her fault.. She couldn't do anything but watch. Her brows twitched a bit, trying to hide the regret.

The scanner at KITT's feet continued to hum. No one was out so there was no need to shut it off. His holo-form closed his empty eyes a bit, head generally directed to the sky. KITT was a night owl and hardly ever slept, but that didn't mean he didn't like to relax. He hoped he wasn't inadvertently hinting that he didn't want Danielle's company, because that was not his intention. He liked some human company. Sometimes he went days with minimal to zero interaction, just cruising from city to city observing the world around him, making sure most of everything he could see was safe. There were days where he didn't see much at all except jerks on the road (they're always out there). "Sorry if I don't seem too bubbly. I'm fairly quiet, only speaking when I feel the need to, which often isn't that much." He felt like he was back to the way he was. It was easy for him to be himself and a little more when Corina was around...but nope, not any more. His...'heart' churned a little. 'Don't turn away, don't close your eyes, dont try to hide when theyre screaming your name, dont close your eyes, don't turn out the lights, never sleep never die...' Memories of her and their times spent together flashed through his mind, some flickering images, others drawn out scenes, flashing through his mind like bolts of lightning. "I haven't overcome what happened to her yet..." he muttered. Were he really human, his voice would have been choked up and he might have even cried, but he shed no tears, as he had none, and his voice remained as even as it almost always sounded. His eyes remained closed, face turned to the sky. |

Danielle couldn't help but yawn a bit, she never kept track of how much she slept, often she went days without it until she was forced to crash wherever she was. Still staring up at the sky she caught sight of one that twinkled bright, and even seemed bigger than the rest of the stars in the sky. For a moment she could have sworn it kept getting bigger, but shook it off as her mind and eyes playing tricks on her.
Her right ear twitched to Kitt's comment before turning her head from the stars to him. "It's ok, quiet can be nice sometimes." She mused before turning back to the sky, not that she was telling Kitt to be quiet. She liked hanging around with Kitt, it gave her ease. She was sure she wasn't the perfect partner Kitt could hope for, but she was going to try and change that the best she could to at least be a good one.
Her ear twitched again, she knew Kitt had something on his mind. "Wanna talk about it?"

"All you probably want to know is that KARR played keep away long enough that I couldn't save her." KITT replied, rolling to his side away from her. One of his holographic arms stuck out folded to support his head, elbow touching the windshield of his true form. He rapped his fingers irritably with the other hand against his for and sighed.
His first love was gone forever and there was nothing he could do about it. His soul was crying but he could not bring himself to generate the tears for some reason. "I got him pretty good today but it will NEVER be enough. I have the ability to completely erase anything I want in my database...I'm a super car, not human. I don't need this."

Danny couldn't help but sit up a frown. She had most likely only reminded Kitt of the horrible past today. What could she possibly say to him after that screw up? She also started feeling bad for the girl, Karr must have done some horrible things to kill her. "Kitt.... Are you going to be ok?.." She knew it wasn't enough for comfort, she never really knew how to comfort anyone never have been comforted herself.
Danielle tried to hide the fact her expression was ever so sad, no tears though. It looked more like a silent mourn. Kitt had gone through something terribly like that, Autobot or not, it was still pretty horrible. Karr really needed to be stopped, but he was just as fast as she was, and he had beat the snot out of Kitt, who STILL got up and pursued. She couldn't help but lay down on her side as well, laying on one of her arms as she tried to keep the thoughts of her father from reaching, now was not the time for those.

"I think so." KITT replied, staring ahead with a typical blank expression. He wanted to cherish all the good memories, but they were just as tormenting as the pain from the actual loss of of her. "If I delete my memories of her, perhaps I won't feel the emptiness...Even if I feel like something is still missing thereafter, at least I won't know what it was. Though for some reason, it doesn't seem like a valid reason to do so." His lips quivered a bit, and soon the doubting was gone, and he felt salty water blurring his vision.

Danny had immediately noticed Kitt had started crying. Walking over, she had hopped up next time him on his real form, then leaved over and wrapped him in a hug. That was the only thing that came to mind. She couldn't make such a rough decision for him, but she hated seeing Kitt like this all at the same time. What advice could she possibly give him when that was her worst subject ever? Usually when she gave advice it turned out really bad. What if he longed to find what was missing? She'd have to hide that from him forever and bring back the memories or make something up.

KITT was a bit surprised, but then again he didn't necessarily need to use tone to show that he was sad. His holo form was a give away. Maybe he should have shut it off. He wondered if she wouldn't have thought about trying to comfort him then. KITT didn't want a lot of pity...but the comfort...it was actually a blessing whether he was slow to welcoming it or not.
KITT sat up and hugged Danielle back, hugging her around her mid/upper back lightly at first, and then a little tighter. He reminded himself that his form was just a bonus. Perhaps he should stop using it. "Perhaps I've made a mistake using this form...regardless, thanks..." KITT didn't know what else to say.

Danny sensed his pause and thoughts of pulling back, but hugged anyways as he hugged back and tightened. She was happy she could help, even she would have done the ssame with such memories. It's rare for anyone to see her cry though mainly because this is the first in awhile since she's hung with anyone, just Kitt, but she seemed to prefer Kitt's company more than others by far.
"No Kitt, it's okay. I know how it is with that emotion, sometimes you can't help, not even the 'Cons. It's just what makes you a living being." She leaned on him a bit, trying her best to make him feel a bit calmer.

"As much of a living being as I can be, anyway," KITT corrected her a bit darkly, but he knew what she meant. He was technically a living being after all. He could be like any other car, and not fear being shut down as he once was by Corina's father. He stepped back and rested his hands behind him, back against the hood of his mustang form. "But you're right. Maybe I was trying to deny it somewhere along the way. I don't think that's healthy."
KITT was still wondering about what to do with his memory data on Corina, and then he had an idea. Instead of completely deleting the files, he could design a protocol which hid the files leaving a location and name, storing it in areas least used (which wasn't that many). He did it almost the same way a computer did. He was still artificial intelligence, after all. Undergoing the fairly slow process, his eyes slowly began to glow that Demonic red again.
If Danielle looked close enough, she might even be able to see streams of code flickering through the depths of the bright hues."Found a solution to the problem." KITT added while staring ahead with a poker face on him again.
