Chapter One: The Girl
Fiorla: Okay, this is my first story on here, and if people are a little confused with the story, it'll get better as it goes on. I have a lot of plans for our character whose name I will not mention yet.
Berry: Hi people! I'm a creation of Fiorla, and you'll be seeing me all over the place, having a nice little conversation with Fiorla here.
Fiorla: Yes…though she is not very smart in any way.
Berry: Hey!
Fiorla: Anyway, go on and read the story. You don't need to review; just reading it is fine with me. Though a review would be most appreciated!
Disclaimer: I do not own Transformers in any shape or form; I only own Aria and the plot.

A young girl paced down a broken sidewalk, her head hung low, and her pale blue eyes darkened with thought. Her ragged clothes suggested that she was a street living child, hanging around the alleyways and living off food adults offered her. Her torn white shirt had many stains on it, and hadn't been washed for a very long time. Her jeans were free from any tears, but were as filthy as the shirt, her dark brown hair extended below her shoulders, a tiny bit greasy from lack of showers.
But through her looks, she used to be a strong, healthy child that had no fears what so ever, and always yearned to show her ideas to the world. Her smile could warm a poor heart, and always welcomed any new people in her school. So how did a child like this end up on the streets of New York? It all started when her parents got a strange car. It was a yellow 'bug' that looked like it had come from the eighty's or sometime around there, but the owner kept in prime condition. There were no scratches or fading paint on it, and no rust. Her parents loved it. Surprisingly, the salesman gave it to them for only three thousand, and made them tow it to their house instead of driving it, though they already had the keys. She hadn't really cared about the bug until she noticed that her parents were starting to act a little weird.
Whenever they were going out, or taking her to school, they would use the old car instead of the new yellow bug. Not only that, whenever she headed for the garage, her father blocked the way and said that he was working on a project inside the garage, and that it was a surprise for the whole family. The girl started to grow a little suspicious as to why her parents were acting this way. So one night, when she was sure that her parents were asleep, she crept out near the dark, dusty and very messy garage, and peeked around the open door. The bug was there as always, looking as normal as ever. But for some reason, the car brought back memories of the stories her mother told of warriors who fought for a princess in distress. Only this feeling was darker and more menacing.
But, as usual, she got over the fear and slowly, cautiously, touched the car on the front. Unlike most cars, this car was actually very warm compared to the chill around her. The girl was starting to think that this wasn't any ordinary car, and let her hand run across the front, almost as if petting the car. That's when it did the most unexpected thing. The top of the bug shivered. It wasn't noticeable at first it was so small, but it struck her mind that the car moved! She pulled her hand away, startled, and looked around. She saw no one.
A little scared now, she ran out of the room, frightened. She fell asleep, and stayed in her room for the rest of the day, afraid that the car would want to see her again. Not even when her parents called her down for lunch did she get out of bed. The next day, her parents scolded her for not coming down, and forced her to eat the leftovers of the last night's dinner, soup. She was so hungry, she didn't care that it was cold or not, but constantly glanced over to the garage door that was open for some odd reason.
When she was fully prepared for the day ahead, she and her parents headed out in the old car, to the girls relief. But that day would forever change her life forever. While she was watching the world blur as the car raced down the highway that led into the city, a screech echoed through the car, making her whip her head to the front. Her world suddenly went into slow mode, as she watched a car, golden in color, come out from the side of the road, and crash into the front of the scratched up deep blue car, crushing whoever was in front. That would be both her parents.
Once it was over, she continued to stare in horror at what had just happened, before screaming and leapt out of the car door. She didn't dare look at her parents, in fear of what she might see. The cars on the highway screeched to a halt, and the car that had crashed in to her parents raced off unscathed. People from other cars charged to the young girl, who was now crying, tears streaming down her cheeks, her hair and shirt now wet from the salty water.
Many people told her it would be all right, but at that moment, it felt anything but alright. The world suddenly seemed like a horrible place, where life was simply a string that someone could cut and life would be over. She ran from the accident, ignoring the people who yelled at her to come back. She even ran past a large red semi truck that stood watching the whole thing, and had no driver in the seat.
So that was her story, the main reason why she now stays as far away as she can from cars and people alike, afraid that she would bring bad luck upon them. Everyone that lived in New York was on the look out for her, and she had been missing for over a month since the accident, the memory still fresh in her mind. Thinking about it now still brought tears and worries of what she would do next. So far, she had found an empty home that all the gangs ignored since it wasn't of any value, and was often able to get herself out of fights. But that didn't change the fact that the police would find her soon, no matter where she hid. Soon, she didn't know when, but she would have to leave the city in hopes to find a better life then living on the streets of New York.
Just then, a familiar purring made her stop in her tracks, and quickly turn off into the nearest alleyway, where she watched a silver, white and black police car stroll by, not even noticing the cringing girl in rags. As it passed by, the girl sighed, her pale blue eyes closing, yearning to sleep. But this was no place to sleep for a girl of ten. This was the Serpent territory, and whoever slept in the Serpent's territory was bound to fall an ill fate unless they were part of that thieving gang itself. The girl refused to steal; it went against everything that she had lived for. An honest, truthful, and loving child, her mother would say. For the sake of her mother's memory, she would do her best to live up to those words.
So, checking to see if the police car would return, she resumed her trek back to the rotting, damp, and empty building that she called home. Little did she know that more then one pair of unusual eyes was indeed watching her. They watched with many emotions, concern, curiosity, anger to who did this to her, and sadness. All the eyes felt this way, except for one that knew her from a mistake that he planned on healing.
He said one word. "Aria…"
Another voice, this one much older and friendlier, asked, "Is that her name?"
"Yes Optimus."
The voice known as Optimus took a tone of anger, and said "Bumblebee."
A guilty pair of eyes glanced down at the faraway floor.
"Tell me again why you crashed into a human car, killing a pair of humans that were inside the compartment?"
The optics gazed into the piercing blue eyes, and shakily, answered, "It's just like I said, Starscream and some of his gooneys were chasing me and I was in such a rush that…I didn't see the highway in front of me…"
Many voices sighed, knowing what this would mean. Optimus said one more thing before resuming his watch, "Tomorrow, we will show her."
----------------------------------------
Aria crawled under the broken set of pillar's that had once held up a proud hotel lobby, but now it was…was more like a cave with ruined furniture and crushed walls then a lobby for humans. Luckily, only a small child could fit in there, so Aria could be left in peace. And best of all, no one could find her very easily in there. The dim light of the sun allowed little sunshine to go around her small bedroom. It was made up of a velvet red couch for people to sit on, but since then the color has worn out, and there were many stains in it. But Aria was able to turn it into a bed by simply cutting a hole in the velvet, padding the bottom with many blankets so the springs wouldn't harm her, and the couch could become a sleeping bag. Other furniture she had in there was a table, a chair, and a small box to store food in. She also put what money she had in the box too, but she hid so that no one could find the five dollars.
Yawning, Aria flipped her dark hair back behind her ears, and got into a comfortable position inside her "sleeping bag." The sunrays had just gone out, leaving nothing but darkness to welcome Aria into a deep, fitful slumber. She kept tossing and turning, sights of her mother and father bleeding inside a car filling her mind like a demon devouring a poor soul. The screeches of car tires echoed a thousand times in her ears, clear as the church bells that sounded in the morning. And the smell of death reeked into her nose, making it curl as a whiff slithered up her nostrils. When she tried to plug her nose, they felt slippery, and when she looked down at them, found them covered in car oil! She struggled to get the oil off of her hands, and ran in any direction away from the cars, fear tearing at her pounding heart. The thought continued to haunt her mind even as she woke screaming, 'they will kill you, cars will kill you, like your mom and dad alike…'
"NOOOOOO!! Go away, please leave me alone!" She hollered her face covered in sweat and her eyes wide with terror. The nightmare she just had was able to keep her up for the rest of the night, crying her eyes out with tears of both fear and sadness. She missed her mother and father dearly, and wanted them back so much, that she might as well do suicide. But her mother's words kept her from doing so.
Just then, a huge boom filled the room, putting Aria out of her misery, making her lift her head to see what was going on. Screams of horror soon followed, and many more crashes and explosions that made the ground tremble ensue, as if the earth itself was terrified. Aria pushed herself up, and exited the building, only to see quite a show going on outside.
People were running all around the place, but mainly into nearest alleyway they could find. They all ignored the little girl who watched all of this, and simply ran past her building, each and everyone of them screaming like a mad man. Aria tried to look over the crowd, and when she had no luck, she pulled on the nearest man's jacket, making him draw his attention to her, and asked, "What's going on?"
"Decepticons!" was the answer the man gave her, before turning his head down the road, where the explosions were coming from, and running off with the rest.
Decepticons? She had heard of the giant rampaging robots that stole energy for themselves, but them here? That could only be a bad thing. Once again, her curiosity overcame her fear, and she pushed her way through the crowd, and into a site she would never forget in all of her life.
Cars were overturned, children were crying for their mothers, and scorch marks littered the streets as Aria gazed upon them, taking in the scene. Many of the children were stuck in cars, and the girl was able to pull them out through open windows, as for those who were hiding in the alleyway, she guided them to a safer place where no one would find them. Once done with the children, she spotted one last child, about the age of five almost, walking around in circles, looking for his mother. Aria sprinted over to him, only to see the most horrifying creature in her entire life walk around a ruined building. A gigantic, metal robot with red eyes and ruby red jet wings on his shoulders stepped over the ruins of the city, smirking as he noticed the two children on the street. Aria continued to run for the child, but the robot was much faster, and fear slowed her down.
Before she knew it, the robot was standing over the petrified boy, and said, "Fleshy, did you really think you could hide forever from me?"
As he lifted his foot to crush the boy, Aria jumped forward, tackling the child out of range of the stomp. They hovered in the air for a moment in time, before crashing on the street, Aria taking the pain. The boy hugged her like it meant his life, and she had to usher him to go with the others until he finally left. The robot was now standing before her, it's feet larger then two of her combined, and she watched in horror as it's face turned to an outraged emotion, snarling, and it's eyes narrowing.
"How dare you take away my pleasure! I'll just have some fun with you!" It reached down to grab her, but just as it's tree truck fingers were about to wrap around her trembling form, a car horn blared, and a large semi truck that seemed to come out of nowhere crashed into the robot, making it tumble to the side and glare at the mobile who dared to spoil his fun again. To Aria's horror, more cars appeared, and she made her way deeper into the ruins to avoid any meetings with the haunted cars.
She only found more trouble. Up ahead, three more of the robots, each one different, were standing in front of a building that said with bold letters MECHA Corp. One was blue with a face that concealed both eyes and mouth, and had box like features and a tape record for a chest. Another one looked like the robot that had just attacked Aria, only this one was blue and red, with a bored expression on his face. And the last one was much taller and more wicked as his tall silver form stood viciously in front of the shop, a dictators menace oozing out from every crack she could see on him.
"Soundwave, send in Frenzy to search out the building. We need to do this…" That's when he saw the gaping brown haired girl, who at the time was trying her best to hide behind a broken wall.
"Quickly before the Autobots arrive." He finished his sentence before smirking. Soundwave replied, "Yes, Megatron." In his monotone voice, and opened his case.
A tape leapt out of him, and transformed into a robot in mid air, the sides and bottom of the tape turning into arms and legs, and a head popped up from the middle of the tape. It landed, before running into the building, causing quite a bit of panic for those who were inside the building at the time.
Megatron, who was more interested in the human child spying on them, paced over, and glared down at the trembling pale-eyed girl. "You seem to be a child. How old are you, fleshy?" He asked, his voice dripping with that shrill evilness.
"…T…ten sir…" Aria jittered, her voice cracking with fear.
Megatron smirked, and replied, louder this time, "Then it will be more fun to see you die!" and he lifted his foot over her head, way high.
Aria, seeing what he was about to do, ducked out of the way under a car, just as the large silver boot hit the street with a crash, debris scattering all over the place. She covered her head to avoid any further damage, and as soon as the rain of rocks stopped, charged with all her might for the MECHA building to hide.
"Thundercracker, get that human!" Megatron bellowed, furious that the child resisted death.
"This one?" The blue and red one, known as Thundercracker, picked up a random adult who was one of the many who were crawling out of the building.
"No, you glitch! The small human girl who…" That's when he saw that she was already inside. "SLAG IT!!"
"Leave the humans out of this, Megatron!" A voice that sounded very familiar bellowed behind Megatron, and when he turned, he got a knuckle right in the face, leaving a rather large dent.
Megatron backed up, stunned at the sudden arrival of seven Autobots, against his four Decepticons. This battle wasn't even close to fair. But nonetheless, he returned the favor back to his archenemy before him, ignoring the humans below who scurried out of the giant's battle.
Back with Aria, she was still running up the stairs, following the screams that constantly came from the top floor, and eventually came to a door that had the labels Manager in bold on the door. The screaming and shouts were coming from in there. She bolted the door open, only to see the manager cowering in the corner, holding something square in his hands, while a smaller version of the robots outside hand a gun in his hand, pointed straight at the manager.
"Pass!" Not even thinking, Aria put her hands in the air, planning to catch the small square piece that the robot seemed to want. The manager was more then happy to do so, and quickly threw it high over the robot's reach. This startled the robot for only a second though, and he quickly turned around to face his new enemy.
"…Oh bugger…" Aria muttered, and charged back out the doorway, slamming the door in the face of the robot. Once it opened, she had a pair of furious red eyes aiming at her back, but she only focused on running. She could already hear the heavy footfalls of the robots feet as she tripped outside of the building, the robot close behind her.
He pointed a finger at her accusingly and shouted, "Megatron, I found it, but that human has the generator!"
All eyes focused on her, even the fighting leaders risked a glance down at the retreating Aria, a small box device in her hands. Megatron's optics widened, quickly commanded, "Soundwave! Retrieve that human!"
"Yes Megatron." Soundwave kicked the silver and black Autobot in the legs, making him fall to the ground, falling on his visors. Then he turned and ran after the escaping human to get the item in her hand.
"Oh no you don't!" A robot with ember red and smoky black glimmering off him in what light there was stepped in the way of Soundwave, blocking the path to the retreating human.
"Prowl, the human!" Optimus shouted, taking the chance to do a command.
"On it, Prime!" The black and white robot with red spikes coming out of the middle of his head and doors coming from his shoulders transformed into a police car and sped off in the direction that Aria had taken. Soundwave though had been able to shove the small yellow robot out of the way, and chased Prowl to Aria, who had just turned off into one of those underground train stations. Her footsteps pounded down the stairs as she flew down the numbers of stairs as quickly as possible, trying to outrun the giants behind her.
Just as she reached the bottom, an engine roar made Aria glance up the stairs to find a black and white police car struggling to follow her. Grinning, she pulled one of her eyelids down and stuck out her tongue, making a mocking gesture at her worst fear that couldn't catch her. After that, she continued to run through the station that seemed to be out of business, and found a hiding place behind a broken telephone booth. Just in time too, an unusual shifting sound that echoed through the train station, making chills go up her freezing spine, and her skin tremble in fear. Whatever made that sound was not of this earth.
Her horrors came true as an enormously large foot came down the stairs, a large being struggling to crawl into the underground ruin. It was white and black in color, and had a car front for a chest, and wheels on its arms and legs. It almost seemed to be half car the way it had those glowing headlights. When it turned it's head in her direction, revealing gentile blue eyes that pierced the eerie darkness, Aria froze in place, her breath cut short, as she gazed back with her own sad sapphire eyes. The item was still clutched in her arms, and she held it tighter as the robot came even closer to her. Even though she had no idea what this item was for, she wasn't about to let them have it back after what they did.
"I know you're down here. You can come out, I won't hurt you little one." It said, in a mechanical male voice. Aria didn't believe it, and stayed put, holding her breath.
The robot continued to search the area with it's glowing eyes, examining everything that came into view. After ten minutes of silence, Aria started to feel her body go numb from standing still for so long. It was turning to night, and it was going to get cold soon. She had to head home. Only problem was that a gigantic black and white robot was blocking her way!
It sat down, realizing that Aria wouldn't reveal herself to it, so it began to crawl around the place, looking under, around, and over anything it came across. As it came closer to Aria, she dug her back into the wall with eyes wide with fear, no matter what she did, that robot was going to find her. She clawed at the wall with her dirty fingers, but there was no hole that she could crawl through behind her. Her blue eyes flicked this way and that, searching for anyone, anything that could get her get away from this trap she had fallen into, but it was too late. Already the robot's eyes were glancing into the telephone booth she was hiding behind.
"Maybe she didn't come down here after all…" It said to itself, and Aria continued to plead in her mind, 'Yes! Go away! Please!' But it was futile. The robot suddenly stopped, and stared at the booth with hard, blue optics. He could see something blurry that was behind the red booth.
"Ah, that's where you were hiding." The robot reached behind the booth, hoping to gently pick up the girl without a fight. He was dead wrong about that.
Aria gasped as the gigantic fingers of the robot reached for her, each one larger then her body. Fear began to boil over, making her tremble even more, and her skin start to have goose bumps. The fingers reminded her of the car that crashed into her parents, crushing them within a second, not giving her a chance to say goodbye.
She channeled that fear into a single word, and shouted it with all her might, and screamed, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!"
----------------------------------------
Prowls point of viewWhen the child screamed, it echoed throughout the whole ruin, his sensors going on over load. That's when he saw a sight he would never forget in the near vorns. The room started to turn white, and a misty cloud surrounded the white-clothed child. Her brown cedar hair floated while wind blew around both of mech and human.
Suddenly, a blurry car rode in between them, its wheels were moving, yet it stayed in place before him and the girl. It was blurry, and often flickered in and out like a hologram, but it was there. That's when he noticed something strange about it. Three humans were inside the car, two in the front, who looked like the parents, and one child in the back. All had pale blue eyes, like any Autobot would have. This startled Prowl, who had thought that fully grown adult humans would have developed brown, green, or normal blue-green eyes, but these had baby blue eyes. The girl in the back he recognized her as the girl in the mist. 'What's she doing in the car?'
A screech made him turn around, and he spotted a sun yellow vehicle speed towards the navy blue that didn't have a chance to retreat.
"Wait!" He cried, and tried to stop the car from crashing into the family, but when he tried, he simply passed through it like a ghost.
The tactician had no choice but to watch as major damage was done to the family's car, killing the two in the front, and deeply frightening the child in the back. A look of what seemed like horror crossed her face as she gazed at her still parents, and screamed before crashing out of the car and disappearing into the white mist. He saw a strange wet material come from behind her, glittering like the stars in the sky, as words echoed through the area, saying in a pleading, heartrending voice…
"Help me, I beg of you…save me…"
The mist and white began to fade away, and the light from the girl disappeared, gently placing her on the cold, damp floor. Prowl just stood there, before quickly moving forward to pick the girl up. What was that? What had he just seen? He would have to tell this to Prime, and he doubted he was going to be happy about it.
That's when he heard the steps of another. Upon realizing who was visiting, he muttered, "Oh great…"
---------------------------------------
Back to Aria's point of view…
It was several hours before Aria woke from her deep slumber, and even then, nightmares of the gigantic being haunted her dreams, hunting for her like a hungry wolf. And like any wolf, more robots were behind the black and white one, looking eagerly at her. Some of them had ember red eyes, and some had sapphire blue, all of them containing some sort of emotion. She tried to back away from all the monsters, but they had surrounded her in a circle, blocking anyway of escape. Aria tried to scream for help, but she couldn't make a sound, not even a tiny squeak of dismay. Then, in a single movement, the robots around her suddenly leapt for her, and that was the final vision of the nightmare she had.
She sat up, heart pounding and sweat covered every body part she could think of. The clean sheets around her were quite wet from it too… 'Wait…sheets?'
She glanced around herself to find that she had been placed on some sort of a blanket, and surrounding her were walls about ten feet high each, and those were see through. So she glanced outside and took a deep breath to slow her sudden burst of shock. The room around her was an odd pumpkin orange and had many types of machines hanging from the ceiling or laying around like forgotten toys, but that wasn't what amazed her; the sheer size of the room astounded her! It seemed to be a good four stories tall, maybe even more from where she stood! Goose bumps chilled her skin as the image of the robots leaping upon her filled her mind, and she made a quick decision to find any possible way out. But that thought was immediately terminated as she had forgotten she was in a box! 'Like one of those kittens waiting to be taken…that isn't very reassuring though…'
Just then, her body reminded her of the stress she had put it through, and it wasn't pleasant. Her whole back shook from the scratches and cuts that she had received from the falling glass, thanks to the flying feet of that silver bot. She had many bruises that littered her arms and legs; all of them were screaming pain into her nerves like blaring sirens. There was so many, that they reminded her of freckles. She also had one mucho headache. To make the pain a little easier to handle, she dropped back into the white bed, and closed her eyes, trying to calm her throbbing head. A hiss caught her attention, and the loud thumps made her forget about her headache in less then a second.
Aria's blue eyes perked towards the side of the room, and did a quiet squeak when she saw a huge red, blue, and silver robot with glowing blue optics enter the room, along with two other robots. One was the black and white robot from before, and the other was a white one with a red cross on its head. 'He must be the doctor, but does that matter?!' Aria jumped up from the blanket and backed into the glass that held her prisoner to the robots, and stared at all of them in horror. She was terrified of anything that was metal, including giant robots. There was no way she was getting near one of those things!Slowly, the largest robot, the red, blue, and silver one, approached the very frightened child, but halted when the girl did a small yelp and kneeled down, holding her legs in a death grip. Trying to sound as kind as possible, the voice of the large robot carried through out the room. "Don't worry, we won't hurt you here, you're safe."Timidly, Aria looked up, staring intently at the masked metallic warrior before her. There was a presence about him, something that made her want to come closer and touch that mask of his in curiosity, to welcome his touch like a father, but the sheer size of him terrified her. 'How did I get into this mess again?'
The robot relaxed, and nodded towards the other two who had waited near the back of the room. Aria dearly wanted to run away from these towering giants, to leave behind the gazes that were focused on her. But considering where she was, that was nearly impossible. The lights overhead reflected off of the lead robots proud red mark on his shoulders, making him seem more god like when he said, "We would like to ask a few questions, is that alright with you?"
Aria slowly nodded her head, although she wasn't so sure she would answer all their questions.
"Why do you choose to live in an abandoned hotel?" the white one behind them asked.
Her head shot up, gawking at the robot with startled eyes that flashed suspicion. Now that was not the question she was expecting to hear, more like "What is your name?" was more suitable.
"How do you know about that?" She asked quietly, still a little scared of the massive beings before her enough to give them a good amount of respect.
The big robot hesitated for a moment, but admitted; "We've been watching you ever since your…accident, Aria."
Being reminded of the accident, those memories that she had tried to store away suddenly came back in one big rush, making her repeat the question, 'Why?' over and over in her head like a spinning wheel.
"I…I chose to live away from people…" She said in a voice the robots had to strain to hear.
"Live away from people?" The lead robot repeated, still trying not to alarm the overly frightened Aria.
Aria turned her head, not responding. The pain in both her mind and heart was too much to bear at the moment, and she didn't want to look into the robot's gaze anymore. It gave her a feeling she never felt before…she felt small…harmless…as unimportant as a child compared to a general. She could feel the tears well up in her eyes, but they refused to fall, like all the other tears had done.
The robots seemed to have backed away, for their voices sounded a tiny bit softer when one said, "We might as well introduce ourselves, the white one here is our medical chief, Ratchet."
Aria glanced up, and watched as the one with the cross, Ratchet, slowly nod his head in greeting to the small human. The lead robot continued, "And the black and white mech is Prowl, our second in command."
The robot to the right, Prowl also nodded his head, and said, "Hello there."
Surprisingly, Aria responded by smiling a tiny bit, and bowing her head. She was starting to get used to their presence bit by bit.
"And I am Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots." The largest robot, Optimus, stepped forward and gazed softly at the girl before him. When she returned with her own sapphire blue eyes, she was shocked to see compassion in them. Almost like…
Ratchet interrupted her train of thoughts as he said, "Okay guys, you've seen her, now leave her be. If she gets another surprise to deal with she might not be able to recharge properly."
"Alright. And Aria?"
She looked back into those deep voids of ocean blue optics, before hearing the words, "I would like to speak with you personally later." And with that, all three robots left the room, leaving Aria to ponder on what had just happened.
She continued to sit there, the headache starting to fade away, thinking about what had just come over her life. It had taken a sudden turn, from the streets of New York to this mysterious base home to gigantic robots. It was very odd indeed, any child would've been crying for freedom, but compared to Aria's life, this was as close to freedom she had been for the past month. And the way that these robots had been watching her, she wondered about how much knowledge they had about her.
"What now?" she asked herself. And for a split moment, she thought she heard a small voice respond, but it was too quiet for her to understand. But one thing was very clear in her mind.
She was once again… all alone.
End of Chapter One.
Fiorla: Well, what do you think?
Berry: It really could've been better, but I think it's acceptable.
