This time, I remember my dream. Unfortunately. I remember being in a pit. Millions of spiders around me.

Suddenly, a giant spider lady grabs my arm. Arachne.

"You can't defeat me, little hero." She mocks. Then she laughs. "I'll give you a chance to run. Go on, run!"

I try, but I can't. I'm paralyzed in fear.

"I SAID RUN!" She hisses. Then she tries to bite my arm. I hear familiar laughing. Bill.

I wake up in my bunk at Camp Half-Blood. I hear the rustling of stiff fabric, like a backpack. I sit up, groggy. I see a figure in the dimness. Annabeth.

"What happened?" I ask.

"What do you mean?" She says.

"Wasn't I just in Oregon?"

"Umm... No. You've been here since the beginning of summer, so... A few days now."

"Annabeth? What day is it?"

"June 2nd. Izzy, are you feeling okay?"

I nod, even though I'm extremely dizzy. Someone knocks softly.

"Annabeth, are you ready to go?" Asks Percy.

"Coming." She replies.

It can't be possible. My time in Gravity Falls could not have been a dream. Unless... I'm redoing my time there.

Wait. If what I think is happening, Mr. D will knock in 3... 2... 1...

Knock knock. "Letter for Isabelle Carter."

My siblings get up, get dressed, and leave. I open the letter. Only to have Bill fly out, laughing. Everything turns gray.

"Well, well, well, well, wellwellwellwellwellwellwell!" Says the annoying dorito, multiplying around me. "If it isn't the daughter of Athena!"

"What have you done, Bill?"

"When I killed time baby almost a year ago, I inherited some of his power. So now I can control time!"

"Why did you bring me here, though?"

"Well that's simple-- I want to make a deal with you!"

"What could you possibly want from me?"

"I want to join your little clique."

This confuses me greatly.

"First off, we're not a clique." I say, thinking of Drew Tanaka's little entourage. "Second, why in Zeus's name would you want to hang out with us? You hate us. And another thing: YOU'RE A DAMN TRIANGLE!"

"No need to be shapes-ist." He says coolly. There's a sudden flash of blue light, and where that stupid Dorito should have been, stands a human teen.

His hair is yellow-- nope, not blonde. Yellow. His bangs cover his right eye, leaving his other blue eye with abnormally long lashes exposed. He's wearing a yellow cashmere sweater over a white dress shirt with the sleeves rolled to his elbows, white jeans and black shoes. He looks almost normal. Almost.

"I'll ask you again-- Why. Do. You. Want. To. Hang. Out. With. Us? And tell me the truth."

"Fine. It gets lonely in the mindscape."

It's obvious that this isn't the reason, but I have no choice. Besides-- I'll find out his true intentions soon enough.

I sigh. "Alright Bill."

"And another thing-- you can't tell the others who I am. I will be known as William. William Rehpic."

"Fair enough."

"Do we have a deal, Miss Carter?" Says the now human Bill. His hands ignite into blue flames.

"Fine. Swear on the river Styx that if I let you hang out with us and I don't tell my best friends your true identity, you will make things the way they were."

"I swear on the river Styx."

We shake hands, our hands enveloped in blue fire, and the all-too-familiar feeling of slipping into unconsciousness surrounds me.

A/N: The photo is what Bill looks like. Rephic sounds like "epic" with an R at the beginning. Comment who you ship Bill with! Also, HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALEX AND ARIEL HIRSCH!!!!! 618!!!!
