Hello, amazing people!

Wow, I have a lot of crossovers, don't I? I have some PJO shorts currently being written so I will upload those soon.

This story concept and the first few chapters were not written by me. The lovely Byzantophile started it and it was discontinued. With permission, I have picked it back up because I thought it was a cool concept.

I'm not Rick Riordan, and I'm not Alex Hirsch, either. Literally, anything you recognise is not mine.

With all that out of the way, enjoy the story!

Nico looked around, he was standing in a pine forest with trees spreading for miles. "Sniff" he whirled around, standing in front of him was an exhausted-looking girl who looked like she'd been crying. She was about my age, with bushy brown hair, braces and a pink sweater with a shooting star on it.

"Help me" "Who are you? What's going on?" "That's not important." The girl smiled meekly. Nico heard a noise behind me, but that was just a pig. "Please, you need to find Stanford Pines, in Gravity Falls. Tell him I'm in trouble." "Gravity Falls? Where's that? Who's Stanford Pines?" Then a loud screech echoed through the forest. Filled with terror, the girl said, "Find Stanford Pines! He'll guide you!" Then, out of the sky, a brown fury of claws descended on the screaming girl.

And with that, Nico di Angelo woke up. He sat up in bed, breathing heavily.

"What was that?" he asked to no one in particular. He had seen some pretty weird stuff, from a manticore with a french accent, a guy who had built a replacement body, an 18-year-old trying to destroy the gods, the fact there were gods, giants with snake legs, and a pit of horrors in the underworld. None of them were as strange as this.

After he got dressed, Nico started heading to the Pavilion, hoping to find Percy or Annabeth there. They weren't there, but Leo was joking around with some of his cabin mates.

"Hey, Leo?"

"Yeah, Nico?"

"Have you seen Percy and Annabeth?"

"Yeah, they're at the Big House."

Nico started walking towards the big blue house, thinking about his dream last night. When he got there, he walked into the living room where Percy and Annabeth were sitting.

"Hey, Percy?"

"Yeah, Nico?"

"I have something I need to talk to you about"

Nico told them all about his dream. The pine forest, the strange girl, the creature with claws, Gravity Falls and Stanford Pines.

Annabeth had a puzzled look on her face. "Stanford Pines, who's that? And where's Gravity Falls?"

Percy sighed, "Maybe you should talk to Chiron about this."

"Yeah, you're right"

Nico walked over to the Arena where Chiron was teaching. Chiron noticed him coming and said "That's a wrap!" and trotted over to him.

"I trust something is bothering you?"

Nico told him about the dream.

"Hmm, Gravity Falls is a town in Oregon with a high quantity of magical creatures, I don't know about a Stanford, though. I suggest we talk about it tomorrow. Until then, enjoy the rest of your day."

The day went on without much action. When he fell asleep, he had another dream.

They were in a cave this time, the girl was sitting on a rock, drawing in the sand with a stick.

"You-" Before he could finish his sentence, she went "Shhh" and pointed to the other end of the cave. 6 sleeping griffons lay there. Nico knew griffons had very sensitive ears.

The girl spelled out "Have you found Stanford yet?" I shook my head. She looked sad. I found another stick and spelled out "What's your name?" She replied, "Mabel"

Suddenly a growling sound filled the silence. The girl, or Mabel, paled and said "Please you need to find Stanford!"

And then Nico woke up.

Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.

Any questions, suggestions, criticism and praise is very much welcome, as always.

(particularly the praise XD)

Stay safe
