GUESS WHAT? I'M NOT DEAD! I AM NOT DEAAAAAAAAADDDDD!

-weeps- I missed writing for this. It's been so long! I never imagined to have come back after SIX FREAKIN' MONTHS! I thought at most I'd be gone for four, but my presumptions were wrong. T.T But hey, here I am again! :D I love you, if you've ever read 'The Mortal Alphabet' and you're returning!

Anyway! Here's the deal: I'm doing drabbles again, no surprise, and I'm also going to put on teasers! City of Lost Souls is coming out soon, after all! YAY! And Clockwork Prince came out. YAY! I LOVED it! How about you? DO I STILL HAVE AN AWESOME TMI AND TID WORLD-CONQUERING ARMY? HUUHHHHH?

Disclaimer: I WANNA STALK CASSIE CLARE -oh wait, I already do that- AND ASK IF I CAN CO-OWN THE SERIES WITH HER! :D

1. That's My Innocence You're Destroying

"So we did a lab in Chemistry today," Simon said, and he sat down on Clary's couch, pulling out a red balloon from his pocket. The redhead stood in front of him, leaning against her desk. "It was fun; you should have been there."

"Do I hear sarcasm in your voice?" his best friend asked, grinning while she nodded at the balloon in his hand. "So what's the balloon for?"

Simon smiled lop-sided, holding the limp piece of rubber next to his face. "We, Eric and I, were trying to erect this thing in class."

At that, Clary scrunched up her nose and frowned. "Oh, ew, you made that sound so wrong."

"I was just mimicking what Eric was saying," he shrugged, as if it were something that happened everyday – which was very possible. "We were just trying to see what effects evaporation has on air; we covered this thing over a bottle of heating water, and it immediately got excited."

"Stop that," Clary held out a hand. "You're corrupting my innocence; what is wrong with you boys?" She laughed.

Simon shook his head, "You haven't even heard the worst of it."

"I don't think I want to hear."

"So there's another section of the lab that we're also using balloons on-"

"Are you even listening to me?"

"-and it had to be inflated, so Eric told his girlfriend if she could 'blow on it'."

"Stop right there," Clary attempted again, absolutely green now. Simon smiled even more.

"She actually did!" he continued, ignoring Clary while she tried to cover her ears. "And do you know what the best part was?"

"Simon, if you say anymore, I shall hate you for as long as you live, which is forever."

"She touched the bloated balloon, and said to our teacher that it was harder than he ever was."

"By the Angel, SIMON!"

This was actually partly true. In chemistry last week, my friend and I were doing this lab on balloons and I had a hard time "blowing on it", which made her giggle like mad. Then, because perverseness is contagious, while we were watching a balloon being filled with water evaporation, I said that it was very excited. ^^ I'm naughty, I know. :D

AND! Here is a teaser for all of you!

"Every time we see each other we fall into bed — and I know I started it, I'm not blaming you— it's just that maybe we should *talk*."

XD That's totally Jace talking to Clary right there. Who thinks so? -heart-

ANYWAY! I'm afraid that I have some disappointing news. Because I'm in school, I won't have time to update a chapter every single day since, unlike in the summer, I now have a life. (Ha.) BUT, hopefully, I shall continue to update one every week at the least. I mean, drabbles aren't like chapters; they aren't time-consuming. SO! Let's cross our fingers. I seriously love you guys.

'Til next time!
