As you sat under the tree thinking about how Caine had been tampering with the code, but before you could really think into it Jax and Caine had *finally* stopped fighting. "So then newbie let's look around the lake." Caine said trying to ignore Jax's annoying presence.

You walked around the perimeter of the lake looking at the lake trying to see what was at it's depths, although you couldn't since the water was an overly cartoonish blue. You could see your reflection, you definitely looked quite... different. Caine noticed this, "Do you like your new look? They're based on people's personality." He grinned proudly at his work like he was the one who had programmed this (he hadn't). "I mean I never thought this is what my personality would look like" you said staring at your reflection "Well it suits you, I hope you know that" Caine said smiling down at you. 

Caine continued to look around the lake trying to find any signs of a star when suddenly Jax said "Hey guys..." he paused and started to giggle. "Hey guys" he repeated "Look behind you" Jax said with no amount of emergency. As you look behind you you see a big lake monster rise up from the lake. "Oh don't worry about this little thing... He's only lethal it you anger him" Caine said calmly as he petted the lake creature on the head.

(A rough idea of what the lake monster would look like would be the like acorn shaped orange and red monsters from pikmin except with scales and not as stalk like eyes)

You let out a little screech in fear and stood still, as you looked at the lake creature you noticed a soft glow coming from the monster's mouth, of course, the star was going to be inside the monster's mouth.

"Hey... Caine? It looks like the star is inside the monster's mouth" you stated. "That's a bit clique ain't it?" Jax whined in a complaining tone of voice, Caine cartoonishly put his hands above his head in surrender and said "I'm not the one who hid the stars Jax, Bubble is quite a simple AI of course they are going to go for the cliques that they know" Jax sighed "Well how are we gonna get the star then?" He asked.

The group went quiet for a moment as they thought of ideas to get the star. Jax then spoke up "We could try to feed the animal and make someone shove their hand in its mouth to get the star" "Wouldn't your hand get bitten off by the monster?" You questioned only trying to help. "1. Yea that's the point 2. It's not my hand that's going in there" Jax retorted in a sassy tone. "Well! We won't be doing that idea!" Caine said joyfully surprised trying to hide his annoyance in his voice. "We could tickle the monster's stomach to get it to laugh and open it's mouth and quickly grab the star" you suggested before getting cut off by Jax "Or we could get the monster to eat toothy over there, grab the star and start a digital rebellion".

Caine cautiously shuffled away from Jax and then said "I like your idea that one seems more... humane" he smiled at you and patted your head before floating up into the air a bit. "Right lets get to work!" Jax grumbles under his breathe liking his ideas better.
