K.I.T.T.Y LOVE
"Now it's your turn," KITT said, switching to normal mode.
"KITT, I
I can't
" Titania started. "I can't drive."
"I'll teach you. Don't
worry, if you run into trouble I'll take over.
Just follow the road."
"Thanks
" Titania said nervously, putting her foot on the
accelerator.
"That's it," KITT said.
"You're doing great."
She drove around the block.
"Slow down now," KITT said, as a cat ran across the road.
"Have you ever hit anything, KITT?"
"No, apart from some criminal types I had to apprehend, although I
almost ran over a possum when visiting Australia. Luckily I missed her."
Titania smiled. "I'm originally from Australia. I'm still getting used to it being hot in
July!"
"You never told me," KITT said.
"You never asked," Titania said with a smile. "You mind if we stop at the shops? I have to get some things, including paint stripper."
"What's the matter?" KITT joked, "you don't like basic
black?"
Titania giggled. "It's not for you, Kitt, it's for my cupboard."
"Thank Goodness."
Titania smiled and patted KITT's steering
wheel. "I promise not to spill a
drop on you and besides your molecular bondage shell should take care of
it."
"I daresay it could. It's
the noxious fumes I'd be worried about.
Make sure you wear protective clothing and have the place well
ventilated."
Titania smiled, touched by KITT's
concern. "I will."
She returned half an hour later with her
shopping and paint stripper and placed it all in KITT's trunk as he drove her
home. Titania unpacked her
shopping. She saw another car pull into
her driveway. She was curious as she
wasn't expecting visitors. It turned
out to be Michael and a woman she'd not seen before. The woman stayed in the car.
"Kitt," Michael said, "guess what?"
"What? Don't tell me we
have another mission."
"No, better than that. Two
weeks off, both of us."
"You mean you twisted Devon's arm."
"Hey!"
"That's great Michael. I
see you're all packed up and ready to go and may I ask-"
"Her name's Jo. I think
she's the one, I really do."
"That's great, Michael. I'm
really happy for you." KITT saw a
very dark skinned woman sitting in Michael's old car, and thought she was very
beautiful, but his heart belonged to Titania.
"And here's some money."
"Money? What for?"
"Kitt you're gonna be human for two weeks. You're gonna need clothes, food,
entertainment. Devon also arranged for
a hire car so you two can get around."
"How thoughtful of him. I
must thank him when I get back
Michael I detect four thousand dollars in that
envelope."
"Kitt, how long have you been workin' for FLAG?"
"A little over ten years, you know that, Michael."
"And how much have you been paid?"
"Well nothing. It's not
commonly assumed that a car needs money."
"Well now you do."
"I'm very grateful, Michael, thank you and thank Devon too."
"Oh, I almost forgot."
Knight pulled out a wallet.
"FLAG organised some ID for you.
Driver's lisence, credit cards, in case you run out of money, don't go
overboard, ah?"
"Wouldn't dream of it."
Titania had finished washing her vegetables
and came to greet her guests.
"Hi Michael."
"You have a whole fortnight with Kitt."
"Really? That's so wonderful!"
Michael gave her the device to transform KITT
into a human.
"And I have a whole two weeks with Jo."
Jo emerged from the car.
"Aren't you going to introduce me to your friends, Michael?"
"Oh sure, meet Titania and Kitt."
"Pleased to meet you.
Michael's told me so much about you, Kitt."
"Then he has me at a disadvantage," the Trans Am said.
"Don't worry it was all good."
"Really."
"Well mostly."
"Michael what do you mean 'mostly'
"
"Well
uhh
we'd better get goin'." Knight said
quickly.
"Enjoy yourselves." Titania said.
"Don't worry, we will. You
too."
"Don't worry, we will."
Michael pulled out and drove off.
Titania looked at the device. "Are you sure this won't hurt?"
"Not a bit, though I'll need some clothes when I
transform. The process takes about half
an hour.
"I'll find you some."
"Thank you."
Inside her garage, Titania aimed the device at
KITT and pressed the button. A bright
flash of light followed. She returned
with a hemp shirt and pants for KITT.
Around half an hour later, KITT met Titania
inside her new abode and threw his arms around her.
"You have no idea how good it feels to hold you."
"As good as it feels to hold you."
The two shared a long kiss.
Titania stroked KITT's face. "You look good in those clothes."
"They feel wonderfully comfortable," Kitt said.
Titania smiled. "So what do you want to do first?" she asked.
"I
I'm not sure. I just
want to be with you."
"And I with you, Kitt."
"Let me
help you unpack your shopping," KITT said.
"Thanks, I'm sorry my house is in such
a terrible mess."
"I hadn't noticed, but I can help you
clean it if you life."
"Kitt I can't ask you to do that."
"You didn't. I'm offering."
"In that case, let's get started, but
it probably won't be much fun."
KITT
placed his arms around her.
"On second thoughts, it could be
fun."
And
they started.
Once
they were finished, they were exhausted.
"Well at least it was fun," KITT
said.
"I've never had so much fun cleaning
house."
"I'm glad," KITT said.
"Kitt," Titania turned to
him. "Would you like me to do an
energy healing on you?"
"I'd love you to. I hear they work wonders."
"They do. I've had quite a few myself.
Come into my healing room."
KITT
lay on the bed, while Titania performed the meditative healing. KITT found it most intriguing, and relaxing,
content to lie there for hours in the gentle energy.
It was
three hours before Titania had finished.
"There you go," she said softly,
running her hands through KITT's soft hair.
"Thank you," KITT said. "I feel as though a great weight has
been lifted from me, one I didn't know was there."
"You worry a lot about Michael, don't
you?"
"Yes," KITT admitted. "I care for him deeply, you could say
it was love, though not in the same way I love you."
"I understand, Kitt."
"You also worry about Bonnie and Devon
and me."
"You're all very special to me."
"Don't worry too much, Kitt,"
Titania said. "It creates
stress."
"Tell me about it."
He
placed his arms around his love.
"You're very tired," Titania
observed.
"Do you mind if I rested for a
while?"
"Of course not, Kitt, take all the time
you need. I have some boring human
things to attend to. Bill paying,
letter writing, washing up, y'know enough to bore the wheels off a Trans
Am."
KITT
laughed as he lay back down on the bed.
He slept for two and a half hours.
"Hi, Kitt," Titania said, after he
emerged.
"Thank you for the healing," he
said
"No problem.
"I
I
need to go for a walk to clear
my head."
"Alone?" Titania asked.
KITT
nodded. "I'm sorry, but-"
"I understand, Kitt. In a relationship there's times one needs to
be alone. Take as long as you
need. I still haven't finished all my
boring human stuff."
"Thank you." KITT embraced her. "I think I'll go on that lovely forest walk you showed me
the other day."
"That should be nice."
KITT
set off to walk alone in nature.
It was
two hours before he returned.
"Sorry if I was gone too long," he
said. "I haven't been much of a
guest."
"You needed it, Kitt," Titania
said. "How do you feel?"
"I feel wonderful. Like I just rolled off the assembly line,
but now I believe I'm starving."
"Let's make dinner."
"I was never programmed to cook."
"I'll teach you. Don't worry if you run into trouble, I'll
take over. Just follow the
recipe."
KITT
chuckled as he began to make wild berry muffins with spelt flour.
"I forgot the ingredients for the
spinach pie," Titania said with dismay.
"We can go down to the shops,"
KITT said. "I can drive the hire
car."
"It's not you, Kitt, but it'll have to
do."
KITT
took the now ready muffins out of the oven.
"They look delicious," Titania
said. "I told you you could do
it."
"As easy as driving down the
street," KITT said with a smile.
Titania
chuckled.
"I've never seen the inside of a
supermarket before, not like this," KITT said. "There are so many things to choose from."
"Kitt, try this, it's really
nice," Titania said, taking a bottle of honey peach water from the shelf.
KITT
did and made a face.
"Too sweet?" Titania asked.
"Sorry," KITT said.
"Don't be, Kitt, you're still learning
what you like and don't like."
"That's right. The other day I tried black liquorice. Michael likes it, though I found it to be
quite heinous."
Titania
laughed. "I agree with you
there." She smiled as she began placing some ingredients into her trolley,
plus a few extra chocolates. She swerved her trolley around as she missed the
eggs.
"You handle that thing like a
pro," KITT said. "And you
said you couldn't drive."
Titania
laughed. "Well I can't turbo boost,
but you should see Ski mode."
She
drove the trolley on two wheels and it was KITT's time to laugh, and then he
kissed her.
"Get a room, you two," came a
voice.
Kitt
turned around. "Michael, what are
you doing here? Spying on us
again?"
"No, I came to get some things to eat
for the week."
KITT
looked into Michael's trolley.
"Vegie burgers, vegetarian schnitzel. What's this, Michael? Are
you turning over a new leaf?"
"Hardly. It's Jo. She's
vegetarian."
"Titania is also. Enjoy yourselves."
"I'll try."
KITT
and Titania smiled.
"KITT taught me how to drive."
"Titania taught me how to cook,"
KITT said, excitedly.
"That's great, KITT. So what am I going to tell people now if
they ask me 'is there anything this car can't do?'"
KITT
smiled.
"I brought one of KITT's muffins for
KITT and me to share, but I think you should have it," Titania said,
pulling the delicious looking bun out of her green and purple Tupperware box.
Michael
Knight took a bite. "Kitt made
these?"
Titania
nodded. "All by himself from
scratch. First try and he's going to
help me with my spinach and feta pie."
"Sounds delicious, just like these
muffins."
"Thank you, Michael."
"A car that cooks. Kitt, is there anything you can't
do?"
"Well I'm not planning on bungee
jumping anytime soon."
Knight
and Titania laughed.
KITT
and Titania arrived home and began making the spinach pie. Titania made a large peace symbol out of
pastry. "It's our peace pie,
Kitt."
"Sounds beautiful, just like you."
The
two shared a kiss.
Together
they dined on spinach and feta pie followed by a desert of wild berry muffins.
"It feels so wonderful to hold you," KITT said.
"It feels wonderful to be held by you."
"I know I'm a car," KITT said, "but it feels nice to be human once in a while."
"I wonder what it would be like to be a car," Titania said. "Turbo Boosting should be fun."
KITT chuckled. "Unfortunately the device only works on myself and Karr, but I'll take you turbo boosting sometime."
"I'd like that very much, Titania said.
"What's Karr up to these days?"
"He telephoned me the other week. He's found someone He told her all about his past as well and she's still with him."
"That's wonderful."
"Her names Karly would you believe?"
Titania chuckled. "I hope they're both happy."
" By the sounds of it, they are."
Titania snuggled up to KITT. He held her gently in his arms as she fell asleep.
* * *
KITT and Titania walked along the beach.
"I never realised how pleasant the beach could be," KITT said. "The sand and salt water was never very good for my automotive form, but now, it feels wonderful."
The two played in the ocean waves for hours. KITT held his love and kissed her, Titania still in awe that KITT was human, at least for a time.
The happy couple went to the movies, hired videos, went dancing, ice skating ... KITT was surprisingly good, never having skated before.
On this particular evening, the two went nature walking in the forest.
"I'm having a wonderful time," KITT said.
"So am I," Titania told him. "I love you, KITT."
"And I you."
And the two shared a passionate kiss.
KITT and Titania arrived home the following morning after an all nighter and flopped into bed. KITT placed his arms around his love kissed her and held her.
* * *
It was time for KITT to return to duty. Titania was sad to see him go, but knew he had to leave. The two embraced.
"Don't star\y away too long," Titania said.
"I wont, I promise," and he kissed her.
"I got you something for your parking spot," she said and showed it to him. KITT laughed.
"Thank you. I'm sure Michael will love it too!"
KITT left with Michael.
"Where's Jo?" he asked.
"It didn't work out," Knight said, sadly. "She still wants to be friends though. You have a very beautiful relationship with Titania, Kitt. She's one special lady."
"That she is," KITT said.
"I felt that way about Stevie." Knight paused for a moment. "You did it didn't you?"
KITT was silent for a moment before he spoke. "Yes, Michael, we did, not that it's your concern. It's not unheard of, a loving couple-"
"But Kitt with you it's a whole nother matter. What if she got pregnant? What then? It's going to be pretty hard to explain that the baby's father is really a Trans Am. I mean I'm sure you took precautions, but-"
"Michael, Titania is infertile. She told me herself."
"Oh, I'm sorry, Kitt."
"She also told me she didn't want children in this lifetime, but it still saddens her."
Knight nodded and spoke after a pause. "So, Kitt," he asked with a smirk. "How was it?"
"Michael!" KITT scalded. "It's none of your business Ohh it was wonderful. Michael I've never felt anything so sacred."
Knight smiled. "It only happened once like that for me, with Stevie."
"It was wonderful, Kitt said." Under the stars and the full moonlight "
"What?" You did it outside? What if someone saw?"
"That's a risk we both took, but it was well secluded. Michael, did I tell you it was wonderful?"
"Three times."
KITT smiled as Michael used the device to turn him back into his automotive form.
"Being human is quite a lovely experience, but I sure miss turbo boosting."
"You said it, Pal. I can tell you're missing her already, but you'll get to see her again soon."
"I certainly hope so. I love her so much, Michael."
"I know, Buddy, I know."
"Which reminds me, she gave us this. Look on the back seat. It's for my parking space."
Knight looked at it and laughed. "I'm going to put it up right now."
In large red letters, the sign read:
TRANS AM
PARKING
ONLY
ALL OTHERS WILL BE
TOWED AWAY
