So I am Ye of much writing today and decided to start a new story. This idea literally came out of nowhere and smacked me in the face. And it hurt. I couldn't ignore that, could I? Pretty much, this is the basic set up of Pride and Prejudice but in modern day with all our favorite Mortal Instruments characters. Some things I'd like to explain before this, is that this is definitely not the total setup of Pride and Prejudice. I had to change some things due to my lack of characters with right age and features. Like you'll notice there are only three sisters. And their main goal is not to get married since I did mention this was modern day, right? But I'll try to transfer over the major moments the best I can, Kay? Another thing I'd like to put out there now is that this will probably be majorly Out Of Character. I'm going to try to not do that but I honestly can't see how I can make all the characters the way they are while following the story line. I really love Pride and Prejudice and The Mortal Instruments series, so I hope I don't totally mess this up because I think I'm gonna enjoy writing this. Enjoy my little first chapter/preview.

I don't own The Mortal Instruments or Pride and Prejudice. I also can't think of anything witty to put cause look at that little novel I wrote at the top of the page!

Clary Fray sighed. She was laying by the pool with her sisters while the hot sun beat down on her sun block caked pale skin. She was perfectly content, with Isabelle lying in a lawn chair at her right side and Aline chattering away, sitting on a towel at her left. They were at the beach by her house on the first day of summer. After the long year of work she had, Clary was ready for a relaxing summer.

Just as she was just dozing off their mother, Jocelyn Fray, texted the girls to come home. Her older sister Isabelle complied right away. She was feisty and had a bit of an attitude problem, but underneath she was kind hearted and obedient. Where Isabelle complied, Aline complained. Aline was a selfish girl, always saying things blunt and aiming to get whatever she wants. Clary was the middle ground in obedience, but had a clever demeanor and quick wit that caught the attention of those who weren't too distracted by her older sister's beauty or her younger sister's crudeness. She was sweet but quick tempered. A temper that could cause her freckled face to turn as red as her wavy hair. A temper that could cause her to misjudge someone someday.

When they got back to their mother, she was waiting with a look they had seen too many times.

"Oh don't tell me there's someone new in town," Clary sighed.

This was the norm around there. They lived in a small town, mostly filled with vacation homes. It was a nice place, but quiet during the off season. Not many people lived around and the girls were rarely entertained with some new "stimulating conversation" as their mother put it. They knew everyone who vacationed around the area. So when the Morgensterns had decided their income wasn't high enough to keep their beautiful high class vacation home, everyone had gossiped about who might buy the gorgeous expensive Netherfield home. From the way their mother was acting, whoever did was interesting.

"So is it a guy? Cause if it isn't I'm really not interested," Aline said.

"It is a young man about Isabelle's age. His name is Simon Lewis. He's supposedly very good company to have around," Jocelyn replied.

Clary held in a snort. Very good company. Their mother was so desperate to get them into romantic relationships that she would think a ten year old was good company for them. Which really wouldn't work, even for Aline, who was fifteen, let alone Clary and Isabelle who were seventeen and nineteen.

Isabelle was home from college for the summer. She was so focused on studying and graduating that she didn't spend any time trying to date. Aline was too obnoxious for any of the boys at their 100 student high school and Clary found all the boys too obnoxious.

"So when do we get to meet the esteemed Simon Lewis?" Isabelle asked with a smirk.

"He's going to be at the Penhallows beach party tonight," Jocelyn answered

Clary's curiosity overcame her and she had to ask."Is he here alone?"

Isabelle looked at Clary like she'd sprouted a new head.

"You care?" She asked.

"Just curious," Clary replied. And that was all. Clary had her head in the future, where she would make something of herself. It was her senior year soon and she needed to be prepared for college. Not waste her time being a pointless romantic.

"There was someone mentioned. I forgot his name though...Jace Wayland?" Jocelyn said unsurely.

Jace Wayland. To Clary that name didn't sound like "good company". It sounded like trouble.

I hope your not scoffing and claiming that this was a waste of time. Even if you were, please review. I need to know whether to continue or not and reviews with suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks for reading!
