Alex turned around with Cira at the arrival of two friends of hers that he hadn't met before. She must have met them after high school. He waved when Cira introduced him to the both of them.
"Yep, I'm Alex, nice to meet you both."
He looked over the guy that was with Corina and noticed his eyes change and then that Cira called him KITT right after. Was this the KITT he knew from back in the day?
"KITT? As in twin brother of KARR KITT?"
His head tilted to the left, then to the right, his holoform looked so real. No see through or sporadic glitches in the image. He figured it even felt real but wasn't going to randomly start touching it in front of all these people.
"I didn't know you guys could do that."
Cira was right to, calling him KITT in his holoform was a bit weird. He thought about names that might suit him and then just started saying names that came to him hoping one would sound good.
"Kurt, Clint, Kris, Kyle, Stan, Mark, Trent; just naming names off that come to me."
He put both his hands into his pocket the way KITT had his and kind of matched his stance as they all stood there.

"I'm Corina Torres, nice to meet ya Alex." She turned to face Cira as she mentioned KITT was a rather strange name to be calling him when he was in his human holoform.
"Hmm....I like the name Trent. What do you think KITT?" She turned back and faced him with a rather cheesy grin hoping he would have a name or like the one she suggested.

Inwardly, all though not apparent in the least (as KITT is still habitually quite emotionless at times), KITT was pretty excited. The AI vehicle never been THIS close to people. Along with excitement came nervousness and some anxiety. He'd watched people and interacted with them for so long (and much more than your typical bot), that he felt he'd have a lot less trouble than originally thought. Still, he felt so different, walking on two feet, seeing and feeling what his friends see. Even feeling the way he moved and the different surfaces on his feet was different. Granted he'd used this form twice before. Needless to say, KITT was further growing his appreciation for being blessed with a human form apart from his normal form. He knew he could do so much more now!
All that in the back of his mind, KITT calmly shrugged slightly, a light smile briefly appearing on his face. He replied: "I have little preference. I suppose Kyle or Trent will do. I guess I'll use Trent. Something different, crisp." KITT was thinking it had a decent ring to it. He then said to Alex: "Yes, I am that twin. KARR and I have both gone through a series of substantial upgrades since we last saw each other during your high-school years, as you can tell by the noticeable difference in my voice. It no longer has that Boston accent. I suppose I miss it but it doesn't matter. So now we can both do what the bots do, and more, for we have our original abilities, but no more about that while we're here in a densely populated area." KITT finished, gesturing to the main pathway before them that went dead ahead for a while.

Corina smiled at KITT as she walked by in front of him and giggled under her breath. "Good thinking Trent, what shall we go and do here at the mall? I would much like to see the entire mall since it's my first time being in this mall." She walked over towards the edge of the first floor in the mall and looked up at the other 2 levels. It was obvious that seeing this entire mall would take quite a long time, but she had all the time in the world and not to mention some new friends to explore it with. She peeked back at KITT, Cira and Alex and gestured at them. "Come on!" She skipped off happily looking at all the stores she could for this moment.

All though his expression was somewhat neutral and blank, KITT moved forward, gazing at his very real looking feet as he did so. He had trouble getting over it even after he'd already used the form a couple times. He then passed Cira and Alex, hardly looking at them and appeared to forget that he had just spoken to Alex about his upgrades (even though he hadn't really forgotten, this was merely not the place to talk about it). At first he wasn't going to say anything to them at all, but then he stopped for a second and said (his tone a bit lighter than normal) : "I do believe Corina and I will let you take your time." he said, winking at them with his right eye.
Still a bit anxious and nervous on the inside, KITT walked swiftly after Corina, practically breaking into a jog. "Slow down, it's not like we have to catch a plane."he said, his voice remaining the way it almost always was, no rise in tone or shortened breath: just the calm, neutral tone.

Corina happily stopped running away from KITT and let him catch up with her. She loved hearing his voice and it was even cooler because he looked completely human.
"Oh allright Trent....But where are we gonna go?" She gestured throughout the entire floor that they were on, it looked like any mall would. Bustling people trying to get from one store to another, dates going to see movies, or just hanging out. She was hoping that KITT would pick a place to go since she wasn't the type to just up and tell someone where they were going, she hated doing that.

KITT glanced around, all the people and noise made his processor "feel" funny, like it was odd sort of over load of incoming factors he hadn't experienced up close and personal...ever. At least he knew what everything was all about. Even then...the further he drifted away from his form, the weirder he felt. He didn't feel like this when they were at the lake. Perhaps that was because he was there with a purpose and was focused. KITT had no clue why he had this odd feeling. He scratched the back of his head, trying to shrug off the feeling and manage to not look uncomfortable.
I am not sure if I like malls. he thought worriedly. He pursed his lips and took a mental breather, trying to focus on where he wanted to go rather than the people around them. One couple took a glance at him...but he blatantly chose to make it obvious he disregarded the fact he saw them glancing. He then said: "I don't know it's not like I want to eat." he then muttered: "Or can." His arm flopped down to his side and he turned to Corina a little more directly.
"Perhaps an arcade or just browse the shops. Hey do they have laser tag here? What would you like to do first?" he was partly curious in seeing what a real movie was like...but he didn't know Corina that well and thus he felt like it might be best to wait and see how comfortable he was later...or perhaps at another time when he knew her better.

Alex was standing with Cira as KITT and Corina walked off together. Alex looked at her, he needed an excuse to leave her and Corina proved to be the perfect alibye.
"Cira is it ok if KITT and I walk around and you and Corina go shop?"
He handed her one of his credit cards regardless of what her answer would be.
"The PIN number is our anniversary from back in high school."
He looked back toward where Corina and KITT were last time he looked and they were still there. Perhaps not sure where to go themselves. He figured he should get them back there before he looses track of them.
"Hey Trent!" he yelled and waved for them to come back over to them.

Cira was right near Alex. Cira stared back and forth at Alex and the card. Is it bad that I am unsure of what to do with it? she thought, blushing a bit.
Yeah, she remembered the date.
"Um, all right then. I don't really know what to say other than thank you..." she said, tucking away the card in her front pocket where she could keep it protected and know it as there at all times.
"Sorry to take you away from KITT, Corina, but do you want to?" Cira asked with a smile before glancing at KITT.

Corina turned to face Cira as she approached her, "Do I want to what?" She was actually kinda confused. Had Cira asked her if she wanted to do something and she didn't hear it? She was hoping that Cira would tell her if she had missed something or maybe Cira meant running off and letting the guys hang out and the girls hang out, which it was she wouldn't know until Cira told her.

"Uh, sorry." Cira said scratching her head. "It looks like Alex wants to visit with KITT for a while. You okay with that, Corina?" she explained with a smile briefly appearing on her face.

KITT smiled at Cira, who appeared to be a little shy around Alex and Corina. Alex had an idea in mind for Cira and KITT didn't know what it was...yet anyway. KITT had secretly been hoping to spend the majority of their time here with Corina but now it looked like it would be the other way around. Perhaps we'll still get some time. he thought hopefully as Alex gave Cira his card to borrow. KITT's eyes then briefly flicked towards Corina, sneaking a glance. He then gazed forward again in Alex's general direction.
His mind drifted to a side note totally different from his original thoughts. As far as he was concerned...Alex should know not to trust a young woman with his card, but he knew her well, he supposed this was a slightly different scenario. It wasn't like he was inclined to remind him in the rhetorical sense anyway, so he mentally shrugged the idea off all together.
"What do you need me for?" KITT asked Alex while Cira and Corina were talking. KITT seemed a bit confused and uncertain.

"Oh! That's fine with me!" Corina said happily as she waved towards KITT as him and Alex slipped away to go and talk. She did know that KITT had other friends but she really wanted to hang out with him at that moment, but perhaps KITT hanging out with a guy that she knew was a good guy wasn't so bad. "So...what do you want to do?"

Alex walked away from the girls hearing range with KITT in tow. Once they were in the clear he turned and looked at KITT.
"You've know Cira for a while right? Well maybe you can help me out with something."
He stopped for a moment before openly admitting this next part to anyone let alone an Autobot.
"Now that I'm back, now that Cira and I are back together. I want to propose to her, KITT I want to marry Cira."
He wasn't divulging this to KITT cause he wanted dating advice. What kind of advice could an alien robot give anyway? No he wanted KITT to go ring shopping with him since Alex assumed KITT had a fairly extensive knowledge of what she liked.

"I know what proposing means."KITT chided, not entirely meaning to sound snippy--in general, the hint of attitude was common for him, but not to the point of rudeness, most of the time anyway.
He glanced back at the girls as they walked off, leaving them alone. "Yes, I've known Cira since her car accident, remember? I can most definitely help. Is your priority for today finding rings?" he inquired. KITT crossed his arms behind his back calmly, stepping away a bit, already scanning the areas near them for top notch jewelery stores.
