1. Chapter 1

HEYYYYY, so this is my first story so go easy on me lol. Anywho in this world they aren't shadowhunters and there's no "shadow world." The rest you'll figure out on your own. BYEEE, also please review it would help a lot.

"Alec come on!" I said as I turned back around towards my closet looking for that stupid ring I promised Jace I would keep it safe.

"Izzy, no." Alec said for the hundredth time, "I don't get why you have to meddle in Jace and Clary's love life."

"Alec don't be dense, they don't have a love life right now but they will after tonig-" I gasped "Oh thank the angels I found it!"

"Found what?"

"Alec, the ring obviously."

"Wait, the one Jace was gonna propose to her with when they were 18?"

"Yup, that's the one." I looked down at my phone to see a text alert come in from Clary,

Hey iz, do we have to go to pandemonium tonight? We could just stay in.

CLARY! THIS IS YOUR 23RD BIRTHDAY! WE ARE GOING OUT AND MAKE SURE YOU WEAR WHAT I LEFT YOU.

Izzy, there's no dress…. Oh my angels izzy you don't expect me to wear the green silk dress right? I thought that was just a pajama dress.

Clary, put the dress on AND the heels and meet me outside your apartment in 5.

I snapped my phone shut just in time to hear Alec rambling on about Magnus waiting for him downstairs.

"Alec remember if I don't see Jace tonight I'm blaming you!"

"Yea, yea. Magnus and I sent him over a hundred messages and reminders about coming tonight and if he actually listened for once he should be here."

"I'm so excited to see him not just for Clary, I mean Alec we haven't seen him in 2 years and even then we only saw him for 1 week before he got sent back to Afghanistan."

"I know Iz, I miss him too. I'm just happy that he's finally back for good. Anyway I gotta go love you."

"Love you too!" I called after him as he shut the door to my apartment. Finally it's my time to get ready but not before I sent Simon a text.

Simon, are you almost here?

Yea babe, the L train ran late today. I'll be there in 5.

I set my phone aside and smile to myself, Simon and I have been going out for almost a year and I've never stop feeling giddy when I hear from him. But enough talk about him time for pressing matters, like what the hell I'm going to wear tonight.

ACK so that's it. I know it was super boring but I needed to set the plot so you guys could understand. Please review and let me know if you want a Sizzy lemon next chapter.
