"Hello there!" A voice spoke with a loud voice disturbing my sleep.

"Ugh.." I opened my eyes. I looked around- everything was gray. I was in a grassland. "I feel like I'm having Déjà vu.." I stood up and stretched. I was definitely in the mindscape... "Come out Bill, what do you want.. again?"

I heard a laugh behind me, so I turn around and a blue circle was on the ground and Bill comes out of it while laughing maniacally. "Hey, kid! Did you miss me?"

I turn around- pointing my finger at him, I shot a laser at him, "But my aim is getting better!" I look at him while chuckling lightly.

It hit right through his chest, he looks at me with a blank face. "Haha. Very funny," he says with sarcasm. His body regenerates again. He looks very unamused.

I stopped my laugh before speaking, "So.. what did you want this time?"

"I told you I'd come by next time."

Did he say that..? "Right... My memory isn't exactly that sharp."

He placed an arm around my shoulder and nudges me, "So what do you say, pal?"

I push him off me, "First of all- not your pal. Second, what are you talking about again?"

"I did say I'll help you with your problems and your powers without a cost.. but, maybe you can help me...-" he puts his hands up with flames, "..with something small?"

I put my hand on my chin, "Hmm... Should I trust a dream demon who got us into trouble..? Of course not." I say with my arms crossed while staring at him blankly.

He puts his hands down, "That might have happened, but let's put our difference aside and listen to me?"

"What's the favor?"

"I'll answer your questions when I know something about it and I'll even help you discover more about being a 'dream demon'. All I need is for you to help me when the time comes."

"How do I know you aren't just gonna harm me and everyone I know?" I crossed my arm again, "Last time we saw you-.. you actually attacked us. I don't actually have any reason to believe your words.." I say with spite.

"Well, I can't really break a deal. It's a special part about us dream demons. We make deals with humans. I can go inside people's memories or minds- except for one person..." he says the last part in a whisper. "And also you- since you're half my kind, I can't exactly go to your memories."

"What do you mean except one person?"

"That's a secret.. for now."

A secret huh? I guess.. I at least expected him to keep a few secrets. "Uh-huh... What else can you do?"

"I can also make people do my bidding as long as they give consent to the deal. Besides, since it's a deal they also get something back."

"That means if you just ask for something vague and not specific- you can twist the deal?"

He was quiet for a few seconds, "You're a smart kid- you catch on quick. Exactly I can't make you do something that wasn't part of the deal."

"Then this 'favour'...? Will this result in someone getting hurt or dying?"

"Nope."

"Will this result in you taking over the earth?" I say specifically. Don't want any demon taking the whole world...

"No. It won't. So- what do you say?"

"I-.. ugh.. not right now. I'll think about it."

He shrugs, "Well- try to think about it." He looks me in the eyes and hums, "Hmm... How about I give you some lesson right now." He claps his hands then in the blink of an eye we got transported into a forest.

"Woah..." I look around us- it felt so real. Though it was oddly quiet. "Where are we?"

"It's hard to explain, but we're some part of the Gravity Falls forest."

Somewhere in Gravity Falls? What does that mean.. "We're outside the mindscape?"

"Yes- but actually no. We're still inside the mindscape, this is just a small part of the forest that's somehow connected to the real earth."

"How is that possible?"

He sighs, "Geez kid, you got a lot of questions there. That's for another time. Right now- I'll give you a lesson on how to control your power."

"O-okay?" I said quite confused. why is he doing this? I look at him he seems rather different than the last time we went to Stan's mind.

"Like I said- this is like you in your dimension, so this isn't exactly a dream. You can wake up to go back to your body- but right now this is like a part of your body. Let's just say it's a supernatural phenomenon."

He's actually giving me a lot of information- I did not expect this from a demon. and he's actually 'teaching' me stuff.. what a crazy day. I shake my head trying to break my thoughts, "So.. What are we doing exactly?"

"I'm going to teach you how to levitate or fly if you're good enough."

"I can already do that in my dreams though..." I tried to think of me flying like in my last dream. I jumped and...- I fell to the ground face first. "Oof..." I got up and scratched my head, "What..? Aren't we in my dream?"

He looks at me for a second before saying, "Aren't you paying attention? This is in your dimension, so all those things you imagine that you can do in your dreams- won't happen."

"So... This isn't a dream?"

"No," he says bluntly.

"Ah. I get it- I get it." So basically I'm just half asleep or something. In the mindscape yet somewhere in Gravity Falls. I sigh, I guess I'll just go with this for now.. "So.. What do I do then?"

"First sit." He floats in front of me, sitting with legs crossed. "Imagining is important, but there's no point if you can't control it," He says as I sit in front of him on the ground. I crossed my legs and I look at him. "Close your eyes. You have to concentrate your energy towards your whole body. Just clear your mind for now and concentrate."

"Okay..." I reluctantly closed my eyes and concentrated.

I was concentrating for probably a few minutes, all I just need is to feel weightless. I tried relaxing my body- I felt it. The power was everywhere in my body, the feeling was familiar. That time with gnome- or that time when the twins and I fought Gideon... Speaking of the twins.. what time is it?

I opened my eyes. I regret it now. In front of me was Bill, but I feel nothing beneath me. Bill was looking at me with his one eye. "Well done kid."

I looked below me and.. Yup-.. I was 10 feet above the ground. I tried getting up- which actually seemed like a bad idea but I didn't know better so.. I lost control and fell to the ground. "AHH!" I screamed before hitting the ground, "Ouch..."

I look above me when I heard laughter, I look at him- the source of the sounds, "Nice one!" I glare at him as he continues to laugh at me..

"Haha. Very funny." I get up from the ground. My body felt a bit tired, more tired than usual.

He stops laughing and he flies towards me, "You did great. Even I took longer in learning that."

"Yeah.. Could have given me a heads up, when I was up there."

He shrugs, "It's part of the experience."

I fall to the ground to my butt, "Ugh.. Why does my body feel tired already..."

"It happens the first time. You'll get used to it."

"Could have told me that also.." I sigh and got up off the ground. Oh yeah, I was gonna ask.. "What time is it?" I look at him.

He pulls out a pocket watch and says, "Hmm.. It's around 10."

"What? Already? I missed breakfast!" I look around, "How do I exactly get out of here?"

"You just have to wake up." He points out. "You'll figure it out. Somehow. Anyways we'll continue this another time!" He starts disappearing, "I got my eye on you!" He says as he disappears completely.

I sigh, "He didn't really give me any hints or anything..." I close my eyes. "Just concentrate..." I whisper to myself.

I feel my body getting tired again...
