A Surprise Call and A Lot of Convincing

Another chapter :3

Anyway...are there any Whovians here??? I don't own the characters, thank you!

(Y/N)'s P.o.V.

        "I'm sorry for the wrong time of the IM. But since they're your family-right?-it should be fine to talk with them around. How are things going, (Y/N)," Chiron said. I cleared my throat. "Ah yes, pardon me. I am Chiron, activities director of Camp Half-Blood where (Y/N) resides."
        "That tail looks so shiny," Mabel said in a dreamy voice. Chiron chuckled and added, "And yes, as you can see, I am a centaur." Dipper's mouth was still hanging open even if the others have already recovered. Finally he too recovered.
        "Perhaps I can introduce too. This is Dipper, Mabel, Uncle Stanley, my Dad-Stanford-,Soos, Wendy and Bill," I told them, gesturing at each as I mentioned their name.
        "Nice to meet you all, well, kind of. Is this actually 'meeting'? And I suppose things are going well?" Chiron said. I nodded. I didn't mind Dipper asking 'what things?' Just then, Lou Ellen appeared and Chiron went away.
        "(Y/N)!!! When are you coming back? We miss you here!" she said. Will joined her.
        "You better make sure to come back whole here, Pines. Or else, I'll make sure I take your soul back and send you to the infirmary for MONTHS!" he said threateningly. The people behind me just stared at the 'screen.'
        "More pranks when you come back, eh?" the Stolls asked me with their signature grin. "Sure!" I answered. A lot of people joined in on the call, mostly my friends (naturally).
        "Hey! More scheming and building when you get home?" Leo asked. "Definitely," I said.
        "Let's make it rain on the camp when you get back!" Percy said, earning grunts from others. It was quite a ruckus. A heart-warming one though.
        "Sorry about this. It's been a while since anyone went on a quest, so naturally, they kind of-I dunno- want to get in on everything," Annabeth said. "Oh hi there, (Y/N)'s family! Make sure to take care of her, or else," her eyes became a bit stormy, making a few of them gulp behind me. 
        "Hey Annabeth, what's that on your hair?" I asked jokingly. Connor and Travis seemed to get it, so they put a fake spider on the top of her head.
        "Wha-what do you me-AAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!" Annabeth ran around screaming 'Get it off!' I had a good laugh and even the others from my side of the call did. When she did get it off, she screamed "YOU'LL REGRET THIS, PINES! YOU TOO STOLLS!"
        Soon enough, the call needed to be cut-off. "Bye guys!" I said waving at them as they did the same. I swiped a hand over the 'screen' and it vanished.
        "Sorry you guys had to see that. I guess they did miss me," I said facing the others.
        "I still need explanations, lady," Dad said. I sighed and sat back down on the floor.
        "Fine, if you insist," I answered with a huff.
        "How about I take it from here, princess?" Bill said, getting another glare from Dad. "Sure, why not?"
        "Well here's the thing. You see, when she was walking around wandering at the cliff, I saw her. And anyway, we had an 'awkward situation' back there. No need to elaborate on that," he said as I glared a bit at him as he air-quoted the awkward situation. "That night, she made a deal with me. I keep her secret, I stay with her," he said rather enthusiastically.
        "So the whole time, you were only pretending to have a boyfriend?" Mabel asked and suddenly Dad stared hard at me and Bill.
        "What does she mean? BOYFRIEND?!" he asked angrily, trying to suppress his anger. I gave a nervous laugh and bit my lip.
        "You see, uh, Dipper and Mabel caught us together at the diner. Soooooooo, we needed to make up an excuse. Didn't we, 'William'?" I nudged Bill softly, air-quoting the name William.
        "So technically, this pretty much sums it up. You're a daughter of a goddess. You've been sent here on a quest to do something. Bill found out what you were up to and you made a deal with him so he'd keep the secret. In return, he'd stay with you and you'd pretend to be a couple. And now, your dad found out and we still don't know what's gonna happen," Wendy said.
        "Got that right, sis!" I said.
        "So you're moving back here?" Uncle asked and I gave a nod. 
        "Weeeeeeeell, yeah," I replied. Dad sighed.
        "You can have my room. I'll stay in the attic," he said while rubbing his temples. 
        "Thanks...you know, for letting us stay even if I ran away," I said with a smile. Dad suddenly looked up with his eyebrows raised.
        "Us? You don't mean you're still going to let that demon stay with you?"
        "I'm right here you know."

        "Yeah," I said while rubbing the back of my neck. "A deal's a deal, right?" Dad stared at both of us again, me and Bill now sitting tight beside each other.
        "Kids, how about you all leave for a sec. We've got something to discuss here," Uncle told the others. They hesitantly left. "And no eavesdropping!" he called after them.
        "Cipher, admit it. What do you want with my daughter?" Dad asked Bill, pulling me behind him.
        "I swear, I have nothing against her. No tricks up my sleeve. Just a simple deal," he casually said. "No hard feelings, Fordsie." Dad glared at the mention of the nickname.
        "You hate the Pines family. Why befriend one of us now?" Uncle asked him suspiciously.
        "C'mon. I didn't really hate you. I just love messin' with folks! But I swear, I changed," Bill answered.
        "I can justify," I said while standing beside Bill, smiling at him. Uncle and Dad sighed but gave in.
        "You can share the room with him. But I'm warning you Cipher. If anything bad happens to my daughter and you're the reason behind it, you'll pay for it," Dad glared menacingly at him then left.
        "I wouldn't think of it," Bill called out. "Whoosh. Glad that's over," he said. I giggled a bit.

        "Honestly, I never thought Dad would allow you here. Even Uncle," I said. Suddenly, the world spun a bit. I held my head with my hand. 
        "Hey, are you alright?" Bill asked me, catching me because I fell a bit. I looked up at him.
        "Yeah. I guess the day's events are finally getting to me. I'll just go get some fresh air," I said as I walked out of the shack. I walked straight to the forest. I sat down on a tree stump, clutching my head.

        "I told you I'd get what I want eventually. Your time is passing, princess," he said. I looked up and saw he was looming over me. I blinked and suddenly he wasn't there. The dizziness went away and I stood up, looking around.

        Then I felt that weird sensation, as if I wasn't me.

        Something was definitely off.
