All of team Lyle were back in their little office area where they came up with their ideas, the new challenge was to come up with and create an app. Whichever team had the most downloads would win. They were all crowded around the computer with the instructions, looking at the screen, well Stuart was looking at his smaller screen and he didn't really seem bothered about the whole situation.

"Alright guys lets take this new team spirit and apply it to this next app challenge, we got this." Billy said, coming forward and patting Stuart on the back. During the last challenge the team had really come together and turned the game around, and that's what they needed to keep up, team spirit.

"You know, it'd help if we had an idea for an app." Stuart pointed out, still gazing down at his phone. Nick was sat at the seat in front of the computer, looking over the instructions whilst everyone else was stood up behind him.

"You bet your sweet ass it would, Stewie." Nick agreed, giving Stuart an awful nickname.

"No." Stuart said, a word he tended to use a lot, and again with not looking up. "Never Stewie." He shook his head slightly, rolling his eyes.

"That's just gonna make me want to call you it even more." Cora taunted, glad she had another thing to tease him with. She didn't know what it was with Stuart, it was just the urge to tease only because he did it to her, she did it back.

"Oh great. Thanks a lot Nick, I'm never gonna hear the end of this now. What should I call you, hmm?" Stuart replied to Cora, giving that common look of disgust. Cora just laughed at him and shook her head.

"Okay, you don't like Stewie. Perimeter breach acknowledged. Stuart." Nick said, not looking away from his screen either, mocking Stuart in a way. "Won't it feel good when this one warms up to me?" Nick said towards Billy, and he smiled, nodding his head in agreement. "You know it's gonna happen, I'll break you down like a two by four watch me do it."

Stuart just looked up and gave Nick his 'signature look' which he always had on his face. Cora noticed that he had only a very few facial expressions he tended to repeat, a lot. Disgust, confusion or boredom. And the occasional sarcastic smile, never a genuine one.

"Okay c'mon guys let's brainstorm this puppy!" Billy started.

"Let's go!" Nick said, whilst clicking his fingers repeatedly, swivelling around his chair.

"I think it would be helpful to to explore what apps have been most popular in the past." Yo-Yo said, walking towards the whiteboard with Neha.

"Go backwards, go forwards." Billy said, which no one understood.

"Oh and we could bin it, you know?" Neha said, flipping the whiteboard over so the side was clean.

"Categorise needles by type of user?" Cora added to what Neha had said, joining her at the whiteboard. Neha nodded and started writing things down.

"There you go Neha, Cora. Hit it both by function and by user, it's not a trap!" Lyle said enthusiastically. He did say a bunch of words in between but Billy and Nick had no idea what he was saying so their minds chose to blank it out.

"Alright guys I don't wanna kill the momentum, or the mojo that you have cooking." Billy interrupted from his place on one of the sofas, most of the team at the whiteboard turned around and looked at Billy. "To be completely honest with you guys, needles and categories, they don't use apps. People use apps!" He stood up, and walked forward.

"So I have an idea. Nowadays people are taking pictures, they have their phones now, they're out. Something catches their eye they wanna take it, but then the photo is just sitting there. What if they take that photo, and instantaneously put it out there on the line, and they share it with their friends!" Billy suggested, using s lot of hand gestures.
