"Hey!" Pacifica jumped up to reach Robbie's height. "We are going to research a giant lake monster so we can find it in the lake and show it to everyone and get rich! Want to help us?"
"Um..." Robbie didn't get a chance to answer, as an eager Pacifica was already dragging him to the door by the collar. Gideon shot a questioning glance at Minerva, who simply shrugged. So they followed their friends inside, heading towards the Mystery Shack library.

"H-hey, Minnie." Gideon addressed his cousin uncertainly. "W-why do you seem so fr-freaked out around w-water?"
"It has been a life long phobia," Minerva admitted. "I've never been able to swim, and I'm always afraid I'll drown."
"H-have you ever tr-tried to get ov-over your fear?" Gideon inquired. Minerva paled, prompting Gideon to drop it.
Upon entering the Mystery Shack library, the cousins saw Pacifica and Robbie already having acquired a large collection of books. Robbie was now sitting at the table, and Pacifica was hanging upside down on a couch by her legs. In silence, the duo grabbed a couple books each and settled in different places; Minerva on the couch next to Pacifica, and Gideon in a navy blue beanbag chair.
"What book do you have?" Pacifica asked Gideon, her face going red from the blood pooling in her brain.
"Mysteries of Reverse Falls Lake." Gideon managed to answer without stuttering. "You?"
"Lake Anomalies." The blonde answered idly, turning back to her book.
The next several minutes were passed in silence, broken only by the occasional page turn or yawn. Pacifica, of course, was the first to find something. She squealed and tried to jump, forgetting that she was hanging upside down, causing her to fall to the floor. "I'm OK." she mumbled.
"You f-found something?" Gideon asked.
"Yeppers," Pacifica bounced up. She showed the entire group a faded picture of a creature with a humped back and an elongated neck. "What do you think it is?"
"I'm not sure," Robbie spoke up for the first time since entering the library. "But it could be our first step to discovering this creature."
"I've got something, too." Minerva told them, holding up her copy of Reverse Falls Mysteries. An illustration of a lake creature was showcased on the page. However, it looked very different from the one in Pacifica's book. This one was humanoid, with webbed fingers and fish gills.
"Th-that's odd." Gideon remarked. "Are th-there two cr-creatures?"
"That very well may be." Robbie noted, turning back to his book. Gideon took this chance to settle down next to the girls.
No one said a word for a while. It seemed they hit a dead end in their research. Nothing else was coming up. That's when Pacifica got a light bulb. Literally. She unscrewed the lampshade and took out the bulb, holding it over her head in cartoon fashion. "Guys, I have a light bulb."
"I see." Minerva muttered, not breaking contact with her book.
"I mean I have an idea." Pacifica groaned in frustration. That got everyone alert.
'Wh-what is it?" Gideon inquired.
"I say we go see that old man by the pier and ask for a description of what he saw. Then we'll know which creature to look for."
At the thought of going near the water again, Minerva turned a delicate shade of green. Gideon noticed this, and tried to compensate. "H-how about you and R-robbie do that, and Minnie and I w-will continue re-researching."
"But..." Pacifica looked shocked. "I thought we could go together."
"No." Minerva answered firmly. "Gideon's plan is good. That way, we can gain more information."
Pacifica was still sad, but she knew Minerva was right. She and Robbie left, leaving the cousins with the library to themselves.
"Thanks." Minerva muttered to Gideon.
"N-no pr-problem." He replied. They returned to the task at hand. The research. The number of books on the table dwindled, but they still found nothing. It began to frustrate them. Minerva grabbed the last book, and, after flipping through it, sighed.
"We've read every book that has even a possibility of having anything on a lake creature and found nothing." She groaned, getting a migraine.
"N-not every book." Gideon suddenly lit up. He got his bag and retrieved the journal.
Minerva's eyes grew large. "Of course. How can we forget? See if there is something on the Reverse Falls Lake."
"OK." Gideon muttered, already flipping through the pages.

Stan was sitting in the "Stan-o-War," sulking. He was gloomy. No one else out in the boats would let him get within five feet of them, paddling away and high rates. He was so deep in his funk he didn't even notice Pacifica and Robbie running along the beach side.

"Old man!" Pacifica called out. "Old man who is scared of the monster in the water! Can we ask you what you saw so that we can find it and sell it and get rich?"
"I don't think he's here." Robbie pointed out to the blonde. "If I saw something in the lake, I'd run away and never go to the lake again." Pacifica was persistent.
"Old man with a fear of the monster in the Reverse Falls Lake who saw it and told the cops and they didn't believe you!" She yelled out at the top of her lungs, making Robbie cringe.
"I'm here." Came back a meek voice.
Pacifica gave Robbie the "I told you so" look, before sprinting in the direction of the voice.

"The Reverse Falls Lake is home to many mysterious creatures. Some harmless ones are three eyed guppies and salmon with legs. However, there is one very dangerous creature. A creature that is sighted occasionally, and still sends chills down people's spines. It is called the Gobblewonker."

Hi, people! It is I, Aglo, the writer of legends and the keeper of myths. Yep, I know how to make an entrance. What do you think of this ark? The legend is true! I have nothing else to say. So this is Aglo, signing off. 'Till next time!

Hey, duckies. I realize I myself haven't really written many things since the beginning, but right now my teachers are literally piling homework on us. So, I may not really do anything this arc except edit and rephrase some things when I can. Don't forget to say thanks to Aglo for being awesome about it and for the hard work she's done!
