"Don't think you intimidate me!" Psykos growled, clearly losing her nerve as she bum-rushed Nick, only to vanish almost immediately.

"Huh. Didn't think she'd chicken out," Nick quipped.

Just then, all of the remaining spies threw themselves at Nick, causing them all to fall to the ground in a large pile.

"Ack, easy, you guys!" Nick sputtered. "That's the second time today!"

"We can't help it, Nick," Nozomi giggled. "We're just so happy you're back to yourself again!"

"What was that trip like?" Britney asked.

"I think 'trip' is the understatement of the century," May quipped.

Haruka's X-Powder suddenly beeped, and she opened it just in time to see the tracker she'd placed on Psykos moving towards W.O.O.H.P. Headquarters. "Um, I hate to interrupt this touching reunion, but I think Psykos is going after W.O.O.H.P. again!" Haruka exclaimed.

"Of course she would!" Clover proclaimed.

"Well, she's not gonna get away with it this time," Nick stated. "We're going up there, and we're going to end this."

"Best idea I've heard all day," Alex laughed. "Lead the way!"

Nick raised his hand to encase the entire group in a large psychic bubble and then guided it towards W.O.O.H.P. Headquarters, ready to put an end to Psykos' tyranny once and for all.

Along the way, Nick couldn't help but glance at Alex and May.

These girls will literally do anything for me, even dive into my own mind to save me from myself, Nick thought. And that's why I love them so damn much.

Totally Spies!: Mental Maladies
Story Rated: T for Teen
Story Created: May 15th, 2020

Story Summary: The thirteenth joint project between Mat49324 and The Blue Time Ranger, collectively known as Totally Spies: The New Adventures. Nick is a pretty adept psychic, all things considered. But now, he may have just met his match. A strange new villain (yes, new, contain your shock) is abducting famous landmarks while on the hunt for something in particular, and, as usual, it's up to the spies to stop this new baddie. The only problem with this? Our villain du jour is also an adept psychic herself. Two people with very similar powers are about to clash, and it's anyone's guess what's going to happen...

On Today's Episode: With Nick finally free from Psykos' mind control, it's time for the final battle. Nick and Psykos clash high above W.O.O.H.P. H.Q., two powerful espers locked in an epic psychic battle. Despite this, Psykos still has a few tricks up her sleeve, though thankfully one of those tricks isn't another giant robot. Even so, can the spies find a way to prevail against the greatest opponent they've ever faced?

Episode 3: Like a Glimmer of Light

6:29 PM – W.O.O.H.P. Headquarters

Psykos stopped her flight at the rooftop of W.O.O.H.P. Headquarters, gazing down at the majestic building with a grimace.

"I wonder how they'd feel if I just flattened this whole damn place right now?" Psykos wondered as she channeled her psychic power into her hands, ready to fire it down at W.O.O.H.P..

"Um, I wouldn't do that if I were you."

Psykos spun around to face her attacker, only to be blasted backwards by a Final Shine Attack as Nick landed on the roof, dissolving his bubble transport so the spies could all get ready for the smackdown they knew was about to erupt.

"Jerry wouldn't like it if you destroyed his pride and joy," Nick stated. "It's already happened once, and once is one time too many in his eyes."

"I'm more surprised you followed me," Psykos laughed.

"I would also advise against getting overconfident," Nick warned. "After all, if I remember a few minutes ago correctly, when I powered up with the Psy-Stones, you chickened out and just decided to eliminate the middleman."

"I can still take you on with my own boosted powers," Psykos proclaimed. "The power I absorbed from the stones is more than enough."

"They never learn, do they?" May groaned.

"Reference rule seven," Haruka quipped.

Nick clenched his fists tightly, the spheres of light surrounding them beginning to pulse wildly in anticipation.

"This ends right here and now, Psykos," Nick proclaimed. "You're going down. And I mean all the way down."

Psykos floated slightly off the ground, a blue aura surrounding her body. "You don't need to be so testy," Psykos laughed. "After all, it isn't like I tried to kill you."

"No, you did something much worse," Nick growled, putting Psykos on edge. "You turned me against my friends, against my girlfriends. You made me raise my hand against the people I care about. You tried to make me hurt and kill the people I love. I can forgive everything you've ever done..."

Nick aimed his hand downward, a small light popping up on the ground beneath them. Nick's gaze then snapped up to Psykos, and she actually flinched back from the rage building in Nick's eyes.

"...but not that."

The small light on the ground exploded outwards into a gigantic golden magic circle underneath everyone. Nick then lifted his right hand up, and the magic circle began to ascend into the sky, far above W.O.O.H.P., until the circle stopped high in the clouds above.

"Whoa," May gasped.

"Now we can fight without any collateral damage," Nick stated. "I'm done playing games with you, Psykos. This ends now!"

"Fine by me!" Psykos proclaimed as she charged for Nick. Nick met her halfway, and the two espers began flying around, clashing again and again.

"Stay sharp, everyone," Sam stated. "We've gotta be ready just in case Nick needs some help."

"ROGER!" everyone shouted, preparing their gadgets of choice.

("This is What I Live For" by Graffiti Ghosts plays)

"I know we've said it a lot, Nick, but it's awesome to have you back," Sam remarked to Nick as if to give him some extra incentive.

"I'm with Sammy, bro," Mat added. "I didn't think we'd make it this far as spies from the start, but we did."

"Safe to say you pulled a 'Kevin Windham' when it counted, man," Nick replied back, remembering Mat's Supercross reference. "I heard you took Psykos on yourself, too."

"And how," Haruka quipped, obviously impressed at Mat stepping up.

"We don't quit, either," Bridget emphatically declared. "If you thought we were gonna bend over because of you, you'd have to work for it!"

"Then work for it, I will..." Psykos remarked, obviously eager to defeat Nick.

"Ricky Carmichael worked for ten straight Motocross titles," Mat pointed out. "And Jeremy McGrath used natural talent to win seven Supercross titles in eight years; this is what we work for – to ensure your defeat!"

"I second that," Melissa remarked.

"And I'll third it," Dawn added.

"Enough of this!" Psykos remarked. "It's time to send all twelve of you to your graves and ensure MY victory!"

"News flash, Psy-dick!" Nick exclaimed, using the best derogatory term for Psykos. "If anybody's graves are dug, it's gonna be YOURS!"

Psykos obviously took major offense to that name.

"This... is what I live for," Nick quipped as his psychic aura began to flare. "Making YOU eat your words and drown your sorrows in defeat like so many of our rogues' gallery we know!"

"You want to talk about eating your words?" Psykos growled. "Then prepare to reap what you sow, boy!"

The two espers clashed again, zipping through the cloud-filled sky like caffeinated lightning bolts and leaving small sparks of energy with each clash.

"Come on, is that really the best you can do, even with your powers supercharged?" Psykos taunted, only to be blasted away by a Final Shine Attack.

"Oh, I'm just getting started, you psycho," Nick proclaimed. "You do not want to know what I've got up my sleeve."

"Then show me your best!" Psykos shouted, darting through the air and trying to confuse Nick. However, he saw right through her plans, and fired off another Final Shine Attack in a seemingly random direction, only for it to strike Psykos when she came out of a teleport.

While she was stunned, Nick raised both of his hands, one glowing yellow and one glowing green. After a few seconds, Nick slammed his hands together, and the two lights around his hands joined into a larger silver light.

"You wanted to see me at my best?" Nick taunted. "Then here you go! SHINING STAR ATTACK!"

Nick wrenched his hands apart, and a massive wave of silver energy erupted from his hands, streaking through the air and crashing into Psykos before exploding, the impact sending her into a tailspin.

"I've got an idea," Sam remarked to the others while Nick and Psykos went at it tooth and nail.

"Let's hear it, Sammy," Clover stated.

"I'm thinking since we have the stun-tan lotion, maybe we can get Psykos to step on it without her knowledge," Sam started.

"And have her stuck like glue. I like it," Mat quipped.

"So a stun-tan lotion minefield is what you're proclaiming?" Dawn asked Sam.

"Totally," Sam answered.

"Maybe that oughta do," Britney replied. "And if we need any extra insurance, we can use the Wind Tunnel 9000s to fire at her in all corners."

"That's not a bad idea, Britney," Nozomi stated.

"All right," Sam replied. "Brit, Mat, Alex, Haruka, and Clover, you come with me; the rest of you, go the other way."

"Gotcha, Sammy," Alex answered.

With that, the five said spies followed Sam to behind an unsuspecting Psykos, who was still occupied with Nick. The others did the same; May leading the way while using the ear-ring communicators to hear further instructions from Sam.

"Okay, on three," Sam whispered to her spy team.

"One... two... THREE!"

With that, the spy team fired their bottles of stun-tan lotions to squeeze some out in all directions to guarantee they would not miss.

Nick caught wind of Sam's plan on the side and backed their play, starting by flying up even higher to draw Psykos away from the spies.

"Where do you think you're going?!" Psykos exclaimed, flying after Nick, only to be smashed back downwards by a two-fisted overhead slam, courtesy of Nick.

"Just trying to give you a challenge," Nick taunted, glad to see that he was getting to Psykos.

"Ooh, so help me, when I'm through with you, you'll wish you'd never tussled with me!" Psykos shouted, spreading her hands out to unleash a large wave of blue light in hopes of stopping Nick in his tracks.

Nick simply conjured a large psychic barrier of his own to stop the attack cold.

"What's the matter, Psykos?" Nick laughed. "Losing your touch?"

"STOP MOCKING ME!" Psykos screamed, barreling towards Nick, only for him to fly back towards the magic circle, Psykos quickly following him.

That's right, take the obvious bait, you dumb, Nick thought as he began to attack Psykos.

Psykos kept weaving around to evade all attacks from Nick. She took another couple of steps backwards and stepped in the stun-tan lotion, making her stuck.

"BINGO!" May screamed as Psykos tried to get free.

"Oh, no you don't, Psykos!" Melissa remarked and used her Expandable Cable Bungee Belt to ensnare Psykos' hands.

"Thanks, guys," Nick proclaimed.

He then looked on at Psykos.

"Psykos, this is ending RIGHT NOW!" Nick exclaimed.

"What, exactly, are you going to do to me?" Psykos wondered as Nick stepped closer to her, his hands glowing brightly.

"Oh, there's so many things I could do to you after what you made me do," Nick shot back. "With my boosted powers, it'd be easy as a finger snap. But I don't think any of those ideas are good enough."

Nick walked up to Psykos, staring her down fiercely.

"Wait, what's he gonna do?" May wondered.

As Psykos futilely struggled to escape, Nick placed his right hand on her head, his aura flaring even brighter and larger than before.

As the spies watched with much confusion, Nick concentrated on his own psychic powers, forging a brief link between his mind and Psykos' mind.

"W-what?!" Psykos gasped. "W-what the hell are you...?!"

Nick opened his eyes in response, as an immense burst of light swallowed the immediate area, followed by a large blast of yellow and blue light that quickly faded away.

Once the light had dissipated, Psykos had fallen to her knees, trying to catch her breath after what Nick had just done to her. But when she attempted to retaliate, she found that... she couldn't. None of her powers would respond to her mental commands.

"What did you... what did you do to me?!" Psykos shouted.

"I thought it was obvious," Nick responded. "I used my own psychic powers to link with your mind, and... well, in case you still don't get it, I took your powers away from you. Now you can't use them to harm anyone or anything ever again."

"You bastard..." Psykos growled. "You should have just killed me..."

"Yeah, well, as some others can attest, I'm too nice to do that unless I have absolutely no other choice," Nick stated. "In fact, I'm going to reiterate what I said to Tim Scam. To me, it's much more satisfying to watch you rot in prison, wallowing in your own defeat and knowing for a fact that as long as I have my friends by my side, you're never going to defeat me. Sure, I may get knocked down every now and then. There's no shame in that. But I always get back up, no matter what you and your kind throw my way. So you can just sit there in your cozy little cell and ruminate on the fact that you won't be able to hurt anyone anymore. That, in my opinion, is a fate worse than any death."

Having said his piece, Nick raised his right hand and enveloped the now powerless Psykos in a large psychic bubble, then flicked his hands upwards to send the bubbled Psykos downwards (ironically) towards the W.O.O.H.P. Containment Facility.

Once Psykos was out of sight, Nick aimed his right hand downwards, and the magic circle the group had been fighting on began to descend back towards Beverly Hills, eventually landing on the rooftop of W.O.O.H.P. Headquarters and disappearing.

Nick looked back up at the sky one last time, only to find himself suddenly tackled to the ground by both Alex and May before he could blink.

"Wow, you'd think being a psychic would let me see that coming..." Nick teased.

"That was AWESOME, Nick!" Alex exclaimed. "Way to show her who's boss!"

"I never doubted you, Nick!" May proclaimed. "Not for a second!"

"And it looks like we're done here," Sam proclaimed.

"Wait, wait, don't we have to find where crazy lady stashed the Eiffel Tower?" Nozomi gasped. "That's, like, the one thing we forgot!"

"Don't worry, everybody, I was able to mind-read it out of Psykos before I got rid of her own powers," Nick responded. "I'll be right back, 'kay? This won't take long."

Nick snapped his fingers and vanished instantly.

"Oh, man, that was one heck of an adventure, wasn't it?" Bridget sighed now that the fight was over.

"By the way, how did you two get Nick back?" Britney asked. "What was Nick's mind like?"

"Trust me, Brit, 'trippy' is the understatement of the century," Alex giggled. "That place honestly looked like it jumped right out of Kingdom Hearts."

"We were walking on these giant pillars with mirrors all over the place, and each mirror was showing a different moment in Nick's life!" May exclaimed. "Then we had to fight a dark version of Nick that represented the evil that was messing with him!"

"Kinda makes me want to have a trippy mind adventure sometimes," Clover quipped. "I'm sure my mind would look like Paris, along with my..."

"CLOVER," May proclaimed. "Please, stop... there's only so many 'oy veys' I can hold onto for one mission..."

That caused the entire group to start laughing just as Nick returned to the area, landing safely on the ground and allowing the seven Psy-Stones to leave his body, thus causing his aura to return to its normal state.

"Well, looks like we're done here," Nick proclaimed. "Let's report back to Jerry and wrap this one up."

"I'm definitely all for that!" Alex exclaimed.

11:00 PM – W.O.O.H.P. Headquarters

"Another job well done, agents," Jerry commended.

"Thanks, Jer," Haruka stated.

"I know I get my share of credit," Nick replied. "But, bro, I am TOTALLY impressed you had the gall to take on Psykos yourself."

That got Britney and Sam's attentions for sure; Jerry was also surprised to hear this, too, considering what happened at W.O.O.H.P. earlier.

"I'm seconding that, Mat," Clover quipped. "I thought Sam's times stepping up were impressive, but you rank right up there!"

"I just felt it in me," Mat pointed out. "Not thinking about the win helped... and I was able to find a way to apply my own pressure, too."

"Classic Kevin Windham?" Melissa asked as if she could read what Mat was going to say next.

"Totally," Mat answered. "What I did is like Kevin Windham on his best day; I didn't fight the same mental game Kevin did all his life, though... but pretty close, I'd think."

"I got nothing BUT respect after how you did that, Mat," Dawn quipped.

Bridget merely nodded... unable to form a sentence at everything that had happened from Mat stepping up, and Nick coming back to life in time.

"That's impressive in its own right," Alex remarked, equally impressed herself.

Nick went up to Mat to slap hands, and Nick included a brotherly hug back to Mat.

"I'm never gonna forget that, bro!" Nick exclaimed.

"And neither will I," Sam added as she came to her boyfriend for a big rewarding hug.

As Britney repeated the same action as Sam's, Mat sighed in relief and returned both girls' hugs.

Jerry's viewscreen cut off just in time after Clover had caught a glimpse of the Eiffel Tower back in its rightful spot, as well as the Arc de Triomphe in the Champs Elysses. Clover had managed to see her baguette dreamboat briefly during the sighting of the Eiffel Tower and swooned again.

May spared an "oy vey" this time.

"So, what say we get outta here and have a little fun back home?" Nozomi deduced.

"W-wait, Jerry, what happened to GLADIS?" Nick wondered as he glanced at the spot in the office where GLADIS had once been, surprised to see damage in the wall.

"Psykos destroyed her," Jerry answered, causing the spies to gasp in shock. "The first time she infiltrated my office, GLADIS attempted to stop her, but was overpowered and destroyed in the process. And with her black box destroyed as well, there appears to be no hope of recovering her."

"That... that actually kinda sucks," Alex admitted. "Despite how nutty GLADIS was, she was actually starting to grow on me..."

"There's really nothing you can do, Jer?" Clover asked.

To everyone's surprise, Jerry smiled. "Thankfully, I have another surprise for you all," Jerry stated. "I had been working on a few different ideas in case something happened to GLADIS."

Jerry gestured to a device on the ceiling of the office. "Okay, you can come on out now," Jerry proclaimed.

Before any of the spies could ask what was going on, the device on the ceiling, which resembled a futuristic surveillance camera, aimed downward and projected a holographic image of a girl into the room. This girl appeared to be about the spies' age, with blue eyes and aqua blue hair tied into a sidetail, wearing a mainly white and blue uniform with yellow and orange details.

"Hi, everyone!" the girl exclaimed, giving her the impression that she was very bubbly and cheerful. "It's so nice to finally meet you all! My name is RiCO, and I'm going to be your new personal helper when it comes to W.O.O.H.P.! I'll be helping Jerry handle gadget distribution, pinpointing the bad guys when needed, and just, you know, generally being helpful!"

"I like her already," May giggled.

"Jerry kinda knew that GLADIS was getting a little, shall we say, annoying in certain ways, so he was planning to replace her eventually," RiCO explained. "I'm just glad to be the one he chose!"

"I figured RiCO's personality would be more appealing to all of you," Jerry stated.

"Well, whatever you did, Jerry, you nailed it," Nick quipped.

"With that out of the way, I'll let you get back to your relaxing time," Jerry stated.

"Allow me, Jerry," RiCO replied, raising her hand and activating the device to send the spies home.

9:13 AM – The Spies' Beach House (the following morning)

("Door Into Summer" by Junko Shiratsu plays)

Although Clover didn't get a chance at the baguette guy, she wasn't all that up in arms about it since she didn't even see him around in person.

In the meanwhile, Sam and Britney were hugging Mat after the three enjoyed another late movie together. Sam and Britney had even kissed Mat on his cheeks, and Sam moved to Mat's lips. When Britney realized she might possibly have intruded on Mat and Sam's relationship, she was about to let Mat go, but Mat restrained her from doing so, which caught Sam by surprise slightly.

"I think it's time we settled this, eh, girls?" Mat reminded, then looked at Britney and Sam.

"Uh-huh," Britney answered. "And I have my own reasons, too. How could I NOT fall in love after Mat was there to pick me up following the Snit debacle?"

"I know," Sam replied. "And considering we saw this before between Nick and May... Brit, I'm willing to share Mat with you, too."

"Aww, thanks, Sam," Britney remarked, completely appreciative.

With no conundrums between Sam and Britney arising anytime soon, Mat was able to sigh in relief, as was Sam, knowing this was close to the same way as Nick felt with May before. In addition, Britney, Mat, and Sam looked outside to see May and Alex having a tender moment with Nick in the pool.

"You know something?" Nick quipped. "There are times when I really don't deserve you two, especially after everything you've done for me."

"But you have us anyway," May giggled. "And we're more than willing to kick faces in to help you out."

"After all, you've done so much for us, and we're more than willing to return the favor," Alex replied. "That's what a good girlfriend does, right?"

Nick nodded, only to gasp in surprise when both May and Alex kissed him on the cheeks at once.

"I love you, Nick," both May and Alex proclaimed at the same time.

Nick couldn't help but smile. "I love you, too," Nick replied.

With that, Mat, Britney, and Sam came outside themselves, but didn't intrude on Nick, Alex, and May's pool moment – all they did was just get some warm sun in.

After the rest of the crew joined, all swimsuits on, Nick, May, and Alex exited the pool, and Mat, Sam, and Britney joined the others, whom had gathered round the pool.

"I say Nick, Alex, and May have the best ideas after everything that's happened," Bridget remarked. "We deserve it after all."

"And how!" Dawn exclaimed. "We were about to head to the Groove to celebrate, but when Bridget told us where Nick was, we changed our minds."

"Totally," Haruka replied.

"Well, with Psykos now a memory, we can officially put our minds at ease since we all did what we had to do," Nick announced.

"And then some, bro," Mat added.

"Great job, everyone!" Sam announced. "All our missions have been a helluva ride, but I feel this is just the beginning."

"Some of us have gone through heartbreaks, shock, adversity, friendship, winning others hearts, and nearly broken promises just to name a few," Alex added.

"But we DIDN'T lose each other," Bridget quipped. "Because we didn't quit!"

"We fought through it all and were rewarded off and on," May stated.

"And we wouldn't trade our spy jobs for anything in the world," Britney continued.

Nobody disagreed there.

"Here's to more adventures together," Clover stated.

"And special relationships to last a lifetime," Sam concluded as she and Britney looked at Mat.

Alex and May did the same thing with Nick.

The twelve spies gave an emphatic "YEAH!" with a fist pump included, and concluded with a group jump in their swimming pool together.

Totally Spies: Mental Maladies
~The End~

Final Author's Notes from Mat49324: And that does it for our 13th project together, and our entire 1st season of Totally Spies!: The New Adventures! Season 1 may be in the books, but future projects are NOT! For now, we hope you enjoyed this S1 finale, Mental Maladies, as much as Nick and I did writing all 3 chapters. If you did, then that's great! Also, if you thought Mental Maladies got exciting at times, wait till you see our Season 2 (yes that's right – SEASON 2) opener! That'll be our 14th project overall; I've titled it A Triple Threat Test. Needless to say, EVERYBODY is going to be put through the emotional wringers, some more than others, when you consider the three said villains that will be in this new project. The only questions that remain are:

1. Will a Britney/Mat relationship work out now that Sam does not mind sharing Mat with Britney?
2. Will the spy team stay at the beach house longer, or advance to Mali-U?
3. Will Clover eventually find a boy for herself?

Only time will tell to answer these three questions. For now, I'll hand it off to The Blue Time Ranger if there's anything he'd like to say.

Final Author's Notes from The Blue Time Ranger: And season one is officially complete! I still wonder why it took FIFTEEN YEARS to get one season of thirteen episodes done, honestly, but like I said way back at the end of Disillusioned Memories, things happened around that time and I kinda lost interest in TS! despite my love of the show. But when I found out both that the show was back on US television, and that EVERY SINGLE EPISODE AND THE MOVIE was up legally on YouTube, I finally got the kick in the keester that I needed to get back in contact with Mat so we could get that story done, and everything just fell back into place from there.

Honestly, it feels good to be doing stuff for Totally Spies again, especially now that I've been able to legally watch seasons five and six (they never aired either of those seasons on TV here until recently, THANK YOU UNIVERSAL KIDS) and see what I missed out on for all those years. Despite the ups and downs, I still freakin' love this show.

ANYWAYS! Just because season one is complete, doesn't mean we're finished with Totally Spies adventures. Like Mat said above, the premiere episode of season two is going to be a bit of a doozy! We've got three villains to deal with next time, and they all have a rather nasty grudge to settle, as do many villains on this show. So, look forward to A Triple Threat Test, the season two premiere of Totally Spies: The New Adventures, which will be posted on Mat's profile when it's ready to go. So, until then, have a fantastic day, don't listen to the screeching morons, enjoy this preview of A Triple Threat Test, and we'll see you next mission!

"W-wait, wait, what are you doing back out here?!" Clover shouted once she got a good look at Geraldine Husk. "Didn't we already stomp you for what you and that trash queen did to Sammy and Mat?!"

"Yes, not my finest moment, but thanks to my generous benefactor," Geraldine started, speaking in a disgustingly honey-sweet tone that unnerved the spies something fierce. "I have returned to settle my grudge once and for all."

"Oh, and who exactly would your 'generous benefactor' be?" Britney challenged.

The answer to that came in the form of a voice that the spies had hoped to never hear from ever again.

"That, you wretches, would be me."

Stepping out of the shadows and piloting a strange bird-like machine was none other than Terrence Lewis, Jerry's evil twin brother.

"TERRENCE?!" Sam, Alex, and Clover shouted.

"Ah, it's so good to see you still remember me," Terrence laughed.

"Hold on just a second, freak show," Nick growled, his psychic aura flaring to life around him. "I thought I trapped you in another dimension! How in god's green smurf did you escape?!"

"Oh, you shouldn't have left me in there with my robot, boy," Terrence stated. "It took a while, especially in a place where time seemingly has no meaning, but eventually I was able to get my robot's power working and use it to rip my way back to your world. And now, I'd say goodbye to your precious W.O.O.H.P. while you still have the chance."

"Oh, that's where you're wrong, asshole," Nick proclaimed. "As long as we're standing, I don't care what you do to frame Jerry for your bull, you're not going to get away with it!"

To be continued in Totally Spies: A Triple Threat Test...
