A bright moon is lighting up the foggy forest below. A large lake, surrounded by trees and mist, stays undisturbed.

Ben: Cannonball!

Ben Jumps into the lake, making a large splash.  Ryder also jumps into the lake, making another large splash.  They resurface, as Ben started Imitating a sports commentator.

Ben: Judges score... yes! Perfect 10! Yeah!

He started to Imitates crowd woo-ing.

Ben: The crowd loves him!

Gwen is watching, unimpressed from the end of a pier, with a shining torch on hand.

Gwen: "A perfect dweeb" is more like it.

Ben: Come on, dive in!

Gwen: ...Please! Who knows what nasty, slimy things are slithering around in there.

Gwen shines a torch around the lake's surface to illustrate her point, landing the torch on Ben.

Gwen: I rest my case.

Ryder: Seriously, Can't you guys get alone? I mean everyday you are are each other throats.

Ben: What's the point in camping by a lake if you're afraid to get wet?

Ben splashes the water from the lake onto Gwen.  Ryder sighs and gets out of the lake heading back to the rust bucket.  Gwen gasped.

Gwen: Knock it off midget!

Gwen walks away back to the Rust Bucket, but as she does Ben begins to violently splash around in the water.

Ben: Hey! *Coughs* What's -- Happen--?

Ben got sucked under the surface.

Gwen: Very funny Ben... I'm not falling for it.

Walking back over to shine a light on where Ben went under.

Gwen: ...Ben?

The water bubbles and a giant green swamp-creature lurches out of it towards Gwen, growling at her. Gwen screams in fright, falling over and dropping the torch, which rolls on the ground to shine on the creature, revealing it to be Ben's Four Arms transformation covered in seaweed.

Gwen: *annoyed* Ben!?

Four-arms: You should have seen the look on your face! *Chuckling* Ah, priceless!

Gwen got up and ran go back to the RV.

Gwen: You are so busted when I tell Grandpa!

Four arms is laughing to himself as he takes the seaweed off.

Four-arms: I can't believe she fell for it! A monster in the lake! How dumb can you be?

The water bubbles and splashes behind Ben, causing him to turn and see a gigantic silhouette of a monster rising out of the water behind him, shocking him greatly!

Four Arms looks up towards the monstrous silhouette lurching above him. A tendril from the figure shoots out at him, grabbing and launching him across the lake. Ben pops back out of the water and looks around him for the monster. As he does, something latches onto him and drags him under. While underwater Ben gets a look at the monster's giant eye. Ben gasps and manages to break free of the tendrils to get back to the surface and the Rust Bucket. Four arms Bursting into the Rust Bucket waking Max, Gwen and Ryder, out of breath.
