It was the first real day Alex had been back in the states, he had really been back for about a week but had been looking for an apartment. He found one down in the suburbs and had just finished moving his few things into it. He set up a rack of swords that he collected from various oriental countries on one of his bedroom walls. Some small decorative items that helped with meditation and several framed photos of him in various parts of the world. He looked around at everything and simply shrugged his shoulders at it all. "Can use some work but it'll do for now." he said to himself before going and grabbing his laptop and then sat down on the couch. After it was turned on and he was on the internet he went to send an email to a very old and special friend. Send To: missknight@yahoo.com
From: ajonson@yahoo.com
Cira,
Hey sweetheart it's been a while, sorry bout that. Terrible internet reception in certain parts of the world. Anyways I just thought I would let you know now that I'm back in Tranquility and just moved into an apartment in the last week. I really miss you and would like to see you and see whats gonna happen with us from here. I know it's always been our plan to get back together once we both got back but I haven't talked to you in so long I don't even know if you still want to or not. I know I still do, email me back sweety.
I love you,
Alex He closed his laptop slightly and set it down on the table in front of him once the email was sent and just leaned back, kicked his feet up and relaxed while waiting for a return message from Cira. |

Cira was currently on the highway speeding with KITT, Corina and Danielle. A bit occupied, she was slow to notice an offline notification beep on her phone. Her number was connected to her primary email account so she could send, receive and chat any time she wanted to. She was slow to hearing the beep at first because of KITT's music, but the phone was on a vibrating ring tone as well, so she got it out after a couple tones. Who's emailing me at this time? Zoning in on her phone, she read the email...focusing on the words more and more, her heart beginning to pound. I haven't heard from him in a LONG time time! "OH MY GOSH, YAY!"Quickly, Cira sat forward in her slightly reclined seat and began a tedious reply via text. OMG hey! Uh, don't worry about the crappy internet stuff, there's not much you can do about that, I'm just glad to hear from you! REALLY REALLY glad! After such little contact, I thought you fell off the face of the earth! J/K But no worries, all has been...decent here in the US...the number of Decepticons is increasing and more Autobots are arriving. More military support has been needed so I'm staying in active duty (plus the pay is better and I get to hang with awesome bots!). ---I'd be more than happy to meet up with you again. Where are you at in town? I parkour-around town a lot. I could meet you practically anywhere <3. You get the final say, I'm cool with anything. Welcome back to the US!
Love you too,
Cira Knight Cira whistled loudly in surprise and semi-relief when she finished the email from being so nervous. It seemed like it took an eternity and a half to type up that email via the phone...Her face felt warm...He really was back now...and she had a chance to meet him, after a little more than 4 years being apart... |

It was less then ten minutes when Chris heard the familiar chime that he had a new email. He knew who it was from without having to even look at it. He leaned forward and flipped the laptop open and read the message carefully. He knew there were more Autobots and Decepticons on Earth as he had seen several throughout various countries and on occasion barely got out of the area alive. He looked off for a second and then decided not to let her know that, might cause her to go a little crazy. He looked back down and began typing out his reply to her. I'm living in the suburbs area apartments now, feel free to call me at anytime your in town and feel free to come over whenever you want. The sooner the better if you can, we have a lot to talk about. So the Decepticons are growing in number.....is KARR still functioning? And does you staying in the army mean we'll have to wait longer to get back together? Cause I'll be honest I don't think I can wait any longer to be reunited with you Cira. I thought about you every day and never once wanted to be with anyone other then you. Hell I wanted to be yours more and more with each passing day. Just hope you still love me the way you did four years ago. You still have my number? I haven't changed it, if you do then call me whenever your in town and you can come stay with me.
I love you,
Alex
P.S. - I know what your last name is silly, you don't need to be formal with me. He sent the email and left the laptop open this time and just sat in the same forward position but now with his head resting in his hands as he waited for her reply. |

Cira had remained forward in her seat. "Hehe, yea a waaay old friend just emailed me," she said. "He's back in the states now and wants to get back together. I met him in high school." She stared at the phone for what seemed like half an hour, but it wasn't really that long at all, much to her surprise. Once again her phone beeped. She squeaked and opened the new message. Yep, it was him. Reading over the email thoroughly, she smiled, already knowing her schedule with the military shouldn't be a major factor. Her schedule was a bit hectic because she often flew when she was only called or needed for patrolling, but she'd found plenty of free time despite this. The military won't be a problem. My schedule is pretty constant except for when i have to fly a couple days over seas (which is very rare) and there are times where I only work when I'm called. Other times its every other week during certain times of the day. It shouldn't be hard to manage, right? I'm out with KITT and two friends right now but I'll ask him to drop me off when we're done with our little drive. One of my friends is obsessed with KITT and I'd hate to have KITT stop and turn back around. He seems to like her and all. Hope you understand. It's been a while since I've visited with KITT too. Yes, KARR is still disfunctioning. In fact he tried to take Optimus's son hostage a while back and KITT and I had to drive him off. He also terrorized Alaska. He has plenty of friends and it's getting harder to keep track of him now that he isn't causing destruction solo...
Hehe, I type out my full name by habit, sorry lol.
But yes, I can visit as soon as later tonight if you're not suffering from jet lag or anything...My number hasn't changed either. We should be done in about an hour or so. I'll have KITT hone in on your location. He still has your number too!
Love,
Cira
Cira smiled and sat back a bit, putting KITT's passenger seat into a normal position, too anxious to relax now. |

Alex's eyes lit up when the new message icon appeared, he clicked it and read over her message and got excited. "Holy shit he said "she can be here as early as tonight. I gotta get things ready then."
Yes tonight would be perfect, do you want this to be a formal date or a casual one? And what about dinner? You've got me all nervous and excited again Cira and the butterflies are back just like in high school. So I want this evening to be just about us, no military, no autobots, no decepticons; just us. But yeah, have KITT bring you by here as soon as possible. Once your ready and everything that is.
He sent the message and then grabbed his jacket and heading out the door to go get a haircut. If he was any more excited he would probly be floating in the air.

Cira was equally excited to see the third reply, her face flushing quite a bit. She was already looking forward to meeting him this soon, but she also wanted to enjoy her time with her new friends and KITT. Make it casual. It's been a while. I'll have KITT drop me off when we're done driving with my friends Corina and Danielle. I'll text you on my way back.
<3,
Cira

Alex returned home from getting a haircut and walked straight for his computer to check for a reply, which there was. He read it and smiled, then he looked at his watch. According to her earlier mention of being just another hour and how long its been since then she would be arriving at his place within the next 15 minutes.
Alright, I just got back from getting a haircut so I'm gonna go take a quick shower. Just come on in when you get here, I'm in apartment 2C, theres a key on the top of the door jam. I'll see ya soon beautiful.
He then got up and headed into his room to take a quick shower and change. But before getting in he ordered a large meat lovers pizza to be delivered there for dinner. "Alright Alex, this is it, the moment you've waited four years for." He said as he climbed into the shower.
He finished up his shower rather quickly and changed into a pair of loose jeans, a tight, black muscle shirt and white socks. He fixed his hair up and then went into the living room and looked through all his movies to find one for them to watch on his 52' plasma HD tv.

Cira smiled at the last text and sent a quick "ok  " back. 15 to 20 minutes passed and Cira was dropped off by KITT (who still had Corina and Danielle so they left quickly.). Cira double checked the apartment number he'd given her on her cell phone and then tucked away the phone in her left pocket. Shrugging her shoulders she adjusted the back pack she wore. One of her pistols was kept in safety mode in her other left large cargo-pants pocket. All her other personal items including a small-ish purse were in the backpack. Cira had an odd habit for almost always carrying at least one gun and KITT's watch-communicator. He told her there was a key. Taking in a deep breath, Cira knocked on the door with a fist to announce she'd arrived. She took the key he'd directed her to and unlocked the door. Her gaze immediately fell on Alex sifting through a collection of DVDs in the living room. Heart leaping, Cira ran forward and ran at Alex at full speed-promptly after kicking the door shut. "Hiiiii." She intentionally collided into Alex with a heavy thump, giving him a big strong hug for a girl her size, with out even bothering to take off the minor load on her back. Cira looked up at him smiling deviously. "Missed ya a lot. Guess this is an official welcome to Tranquility too!"

Before Alex had found a dvd there was a quick knock at the door. He looked over and turned to go answer but Cira had opened it herself and ran at him full speed after closing it. When she collided with him he nearly fell over but he managed to stay standing and even picked her up as they hugged and he twirled her around.
He then set her down and had a slight smile on his face. He rarely expressed any emotion or expression on his face but after being with her so long she knew when he was. He was still slowly breaking that habit to, but only when he was around her.
"Thanks and I think I missed you more." he said, only slightly joking.
He reached behind her and took her backpack from her and set it down by the door. He pointed at his DVD's after he walked back over to her. "Go on and get comfortable while I pick us out a movie to watch. I'm still waiting on the pizza to get here."
He flipped through before finding I Am Legend, one of her favorites. He took it out and then went and put it in the dvd player before going and sitting down on the couch and kicking his feet up on the table in front of it.

"All righty." Cira replied with a smile. She set down her stuff beside the couch and set the .22 pistol that had been in her left cargo pants pocket on the table. "Don't worry about the gun. I ALWAYS keep at least one with me since the number of Decepticons has been growing these days." she said.
Cira sat back in the seat and folded her legs. "Oh, I Am Legend. One of my favorites." she added clapping her hands together once in excitement. "Haven't seen it in a while either."

Alex wasn't at all surprised when she pulled out a gun from her pocket. What with her being in the military and involved in Decepticon action on a regular basis. He gave a subtle nodding in reaction to her reason for it. "Alright, fair enough." he said
After she sat on the couch he moved over next to her and wrapped his left arm around her. The movie menu came up on the screen and he pressed play. "Good, I figured you would like this movie a lot. So do you plan on staying the night tonight?" He just came right out with it rather then wait to ask. He hoped the pizza would get there soon as it was getting pretty close to its estimated arrival time. He just looked at her and smiled, finally happy to be reunited.

"I don't see why not." she said to him with a smile, glancing up at him as he put an arm around her. Cira snuggled a bit closer, glad to be with someone so familiar (other than KITT). Everyone else, even the people she worked with still felt like acquaintances. Well, save for maybe Sergeant Epps. He was a cool guy.
Cira was certain throughout most of the movie she'd be either really quiet or really noisy...In most movies like I Am Legend, she was usually dead quiet except when she had to laugh or make a quick comment about something awesome. With Alex she wasn't sure. He always used to be pretty quiet. With other people, when she was focused on a movie she HATED any bit of noise, so much as a sentence involving more than three or four words. Anything unnecessary ruined the current mood of whatever scene was occurring. And with I Am Legend, there were many. She was pretty sure Alex had seen the movie before since he owned it.
Since the movie barely started, she paused it, scratching her right cheek for a second.. "Uh, if you don't mind, let's wait till the pizza gets here. I expect the pizza dude will be here soon." she said. "I hate it when those kind of interruptions happen in good movies like this. I don't want to have it paused in a tense moment. Like when Sam runs into the old building..." she shuddered. "If someone rang the door bell during that scene I'd...GRR!"

"Oh good." he said as he snuggled up closer to her. He kissed her on the forehead and then rested his against the top of hers as the movie started. Like most things he did he liked to stay quiet during them, his movies especially. He reacted like anybody else but he never talked during a movie, he hated to and he hated when others did but never really made it know before.
"Yeah your right, I should of thought of that before already. Guess I was a little distracted by something amazing." he said as he winked at her. Just as he was moving in to kiss her there was a knock at the door. Perfect timing, Alex thought sarcastically as he got up off the couch and made his way to the door.
He opened the door and took the pizza with his left hand and reached into his right pocket and pulled out the money he had for the driver, with an extra $10 for his tip. "Keep the change." he said before closing the door behind him and walking into the kitchen.
"You stay there, your getting spoiled tonight." he said with a grin as he put two slices on a plate for her and three on a plate for him. He grabbed a few napkins and brought them out and handed her plate and napkins to her. He set his own down on the table and went back into the kitchen and came back a few minutes later with two drinks. He handed one to her before sitting back down next to her and then grabbed his plate. "Meat lovers, your favorite if I remember correctly." he said as he took a bite. "You can start the movie back up again." he said with his mouth full

Something amazing. Cira smiled, blushing quite a bit as her pulse accelerated when she noticed him leaning closer to her..."Okay," she said cheerfully as he got the pizza. "Thanks. Yeah, meat lover's is the way to go." she took a bite and hit play.
Getting comfortable, she scooted close to Alex, curling her left arm around his right. Cira tucked up her legs again and put the plate in her lap to prevent unwanted messes.

Alex intertwined his fingers with hers after she curled up next to him. He ate his pizza quietly and set down his plate after he was finished, took a few drinks of his soda and then leaned back on the couch and curled up with Cira better; putting his arm around her. The movie was playing now so he didn't talk or say anything. Just snuggled and looked back and forth between the movie and at her. He stroked her left shoulder with his hand softly.

" back. 15 to 20 minutes passed and Cira was dropped off by KITT (who still had Corina and Danielle so they left quickly.). Cira double checked the apartment number he'd given her on her cell phone and then tucked away the phone in her left pocket. Shrugging her shoulders she adjusted the back pack she wore.
