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

Ben: Cannonball!

He jumps into the lake, making a large splash.

(y/n): Woo hoo!

Ben pops up back to the surface.

Ben: *Imitating a sports commentator.* "Judges score... yes! Perfect 10! Yeah! *Imitates crowd woo-ing.* 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.

(y/n): 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.

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.

Gwen: *Gasps.* Knock it off midget!

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

(y/n): Hey! *Coughing.* What's -- Happen--?

(y/n) gets sucked under the surface along with Ben.

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

She walks back over to shine a light on where Ben and (y/n) 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?

You should have seen the look on your face! *Chuckling* Ah, priceless!

(y/n) then comes up.

(y/n): *chuckles* That actually worked.

Gwen gets up to go back to the RV.

Gwen: You two 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 (y/n) and Ben, causing them to turn and see a gigantic silhouette of a monster rising out of the water behind him, shocking them greatly.

(y/n) and Four Arms looks up towards the monstrous silhouette lurching above him. A tendril from the figure shoots out at them, grabbing and launching them 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 Rustbucket.

They burst into the Rustbucket waking Max and Gwen, out of breath.

Four arms: I was just attacked by a giant lake monster!

Gwen lazily throws pillow at Ben's face.

Gwen: Hello? Current events? You already got me with that one.
