Alec walked through the door of the Institute looking very tired. He was followed by Magnus who looked as sparkly as ever. His eyes shone brightly, and he was practically bouncing with energy. They had just come back from shopping.
Magnus set the many shopping bags he was carrying down on the couch. "Here," he said, reaching inside of one, "put this on." He pulled out a bright-sequined, red, tuxedo. "It will look fabulous for the party!" he sang. They were going to one of Magnus's many parties that night.
Alec sighed, "Ok, if it makes you happy." He trudged off to go change He came out a few minutes later looking very uncomfortable.
Magnus clapped his hands gleefully, "Like I said, FABULOUS!"
Right at that moment, Jace walked into the room. He stopped cold when he saw Alec. "What has he done to you?" he asked, staring wide-eyed at Alec.
"You don't want to know," Alec replied monotonously. Magnus rolled his eyes and rummaged around in the bags.
"TA DAAAAA!" he exclaimed, holding up a shimmering black bow tie. He walked over to Alec and tied it on. "There!" he said triumphantly. Alec groaned. Jace tried, and failed, at holding back a laugh and quickly left the room.
"The things I do for you, Magnus…" Alec said.
Magnus patted him on the head and said, "You'll thank me tonight when you're the best dressed person at the party."
And with that, he flounced off.
THE END.
