Hey everyone. Here is part 2 up for you. Thanks for reading!
"I mean, Alec what does she expect me to do?" says Jace while sharpening the weapons with Alec.
"I don't know Jace, girls are complex. People that you are in a relationship with are complicated in general!" Alec states plainly. He doesn't understand why Jace is talking to him about this over- well anyone else. He is the least informed about this situation.
"It's just, I'm not that intuned with the mundane world. I looked up promposals and they range from a letter and chocolates to people writing things with clouds. How do you write with clouds?" Jace exclaims.
"Jace a promposal is you proposing to her and asking her to prom. So just act like you are proposing to her but instead of saying 'will you marry me?' just say 'will you go to prom with me?'"
Jace pondered that thought for a minute than he relized that Clary would love it! " Thanks Alec!" he exclaims, " I owe you one!" Then he runs out on the job. Halfway to Clary's room he realizes two things. One, he didn't finish sharpening his tools. Two, he doesn't know how to word it. He's never proposed to someone before. He begins to run to a different room, knowing he needs expert advice from the source.
Izzy looks through her closet, seeing if she has anything suitable for prom. As she suspected, she has no dresses that she hasn't already worn. So she picks up her laptop and googles prom dress shops nearby. She finds a good looking one and so she calls and sceduals an appointment for her and clary for that evening. Just as she hangs up, there is a quick knock on her door before Jace enters swiftly.
"Izzy I need you to help me write a promposal to clary!" he says, siting on her bed.
"Of course Jace, what do you want to tell her?"
"Well Iz, if I knew that wouldn't I be in her room right now instead of yours?" Jace says.
"Okay, well lets start by having you tell me what you love about her?" Izzy says while picking up her phone.
Jace thinks for a minute and takes an deap breath then says, "Well what is there not to love. I mean, she's amazing. I love how she is the most independent women I know. She can stand by herself, but not in a rude way. She has such a caring side, you know what I mean? Clary isn't just one thing, she has so many sides. And god, she is the most beautiful women I've ever seen. I just love everything about her, and her imperfections aren't imperfect to me, they just make her more perfect." He finishes, out of breath. He's zoned out so when Izzy starts clapping it startles him.
"Jace that was perfect!" She exclaims. She looks down at her phone for a few moments than says " Now we wait."
"Um, Iz what exactly are we waiting for?" He askes, puzzled.
"For clary to listen to your speech and walk, or rather run, down here to my room."
He stands up quickly, "Iz, you recorded me without my permission! How could you do that, she'll never say yes to me now!" For some reason Izzy begins to smile. "I mean Clary desevers so much better than that! You've just ruined this whole thing!"
"I could beg to differ," a new voice says from behind him. He turns around quickley to see the love of his life. "Jace that was more than I was asking for! Now if you would still like to be my date, I would love for you to escort me to the prom." Clary says smiling. "I actually was going to go with you anyways, I just wanted to see what you would do, and I can positivly say that you exceded my expectations."
"Clary I would love nothing more!" Jace says wrapping his arms around her and hugging her tightly.
Their moment is only interrupted when Izzy startes to clap- again. "I hate to end this moment, but Clary, you and I have a dress fitting to attend."
"Okay then," Clary says turning back to Jace. "I guess now I must go try on a very expensive dress that I will wear for total of four hours."
"Oh Alexander aren't you excited! The prom is tomorrow!" says a very overjoyed Magnus.
"Well I'm more excited about getting to go out with you more than anything." Says Alec, hugging his boyfriend.
"Oh the same Alexander! Now it is time for us to go get our outfits. Since the prom is in one day it has to fit us perfectly. We don't have time for alterations!" Says Magnus grabbing his wallet and opening the door, "After you."
"Simon hurry up, you're slowing Clary and I down." Izzy says, annoyed at her boyfriend for getting sidetracked. He doesn't understand how essential it is for Clary and her to find the perfect dress, and to do that they need all the time they can have.
Simon hurries up and lands a step behind Izzy and Clary. "Gosh Iz, take a chill pill will you! It's prom, not your wedding!"
Upon hearing this Izzy turns around quickly, pointing a finger in his face. "Simon Lewis don't you ever tell me to take a chill pill. Do you not understand how important this is to me? I never got to have high school experiences like this, and I finally do and you are trying to tone it down? " Then she takes Clary by the arm and walks hurridly towards to fitting area. She finds the lady at the desks and says, "Hi my friend and I are here for our fitting appointments, alone!"
The lady, whos nametag reads "Barbra" says, "Okay Miss. Lightwood, let me go find your consultants. You can begin looking around and seeing if any of them catch your eye." After saying that she leaves to find the consultants.
Izzy turns around to a nervous Simon. "You can go next door and find yourself a tux, persumally one that doesn't make your head look bigger than it already is!"
"Iz, look," Simon says, holding her shoulders, "I am really sorry. I didn't realize how much this meant to you. I promise I'm excited now! So can we just have fun and not fight?"
"Oh course. Now you go find you a tux that is black and that goes good with gold- that's the color my dress is going to be!"
"Okay good luck you guys." he says then walks away to go next door.
Barbra comes back out and says "Okay Isabelle, you will be going with Elizabeth and Clary you will be going with Samantha."
"Great!" The girls respond while they begin to walk to the back to be fitted.
As Simon walks to the tux shop he feels lucky. Lucky that he has an amazing girlfriend, a great best friend, and is still alive at this point. He enters the shop and looks around. So many suits to choose from. And he figured they only came in black. He begins to look at some classic black ones when he hears, "Oh Alexander, is that our friend Samual. Yes, I think it is."
Simon turns around to see his girlfriends brother and his boyfriend, both holding their suits. They fit their personalities good, Magnus' really flashy, while Alec's was more calm. " Magnus, talk softer, do you want people to look at you?" says Alec, blushing from his boyfriends outburst.
"Why yes, yes I do. I look fabulous Alexander, so I shall not rob people the gift of looking at me!" responds Magnus, while straightening one of his glitter infused spikes of hair.
"Oh hey you guys," says Simon. He really wishes he can just find a suit so he can go down to a poetry slam at Jova Jones before the girls get done.
"Are you buying a tux for the prom tomorrow. I'm sure you are, because I can't think of another reason of you buying a tux, other than a wedding?" Magnus says, eyes sparkleing.
A blushing Simon responds "Oh yeah, just you know, getting one for the prom. Izzy insisted."
When Magnus hears this he perks up slightly more, if that is even possible. "Oh really now. What kind of suit did she send you to get?"
Simon scratches his head while he recalls which suit he was sent to get. "She told me to get a black one that goes good with gold, to match her dress."
"Okay, well let me help you out Severous." He says, while scanning the walls. After a minute he points to a black coat and black pants. " There, you get those and a gold shirt. Got it?"
Simon nods and says " Yep. Will do."
That was easier than he thought.
Clary and Izzy get pushed into a fitting room. A girl in her mid-twenties, Elizabeth if Clary could remember correctly, came in after them, with a girl named Samantha. They quickly got their measurements, then sat down.
"Okay girls, what kind of dresses are you looking for? Poofy or silky. Short or long? And what colors?" says Elizabeth.
Izzy quickly replies, "I want a gown that lands right above my ankles that is silky and it has to be in gold." Elizabeth then walks out to retreive a dress that will fit Izzy's requirements.
Samantha then turns to Clary. "And for you?"
"Ummm, I'm not really sure. You can just pick me out one that would look decent on me. I mean, how high of hopes do you get for a dress that you only wear once. Just make sure it's not pricy." Aline nods, then heads out to look with Maia.
"Okay," says Izzy, "You just made prom dresses sound like a funeral dress! And these are way cuter!"
"Sorry Iz, I just can't think of a dress I would want! If you know me, this is not my scene." replies Clary. After she speaks Elizabeth comes in with a dress. She hands the garment over to Izzy. It was just what she had described. She helps Izzy put it on. It looks amazing!
"This is it! I found my gown!" exclaimes Izzy while admirering herself in the mirror.
"Wow Iz, you sure know how to make this sound like a reality show! But I have to admit, it looks awesome!" says Clary. Then Samantha comes into the room with a dress. It was a dark edmeral green color. It was short, but not to short. It was fited at the top the fluffed out at the bottom. Clary couldn't believe it, but she absolutly adored it. She quickly put it on, and it was confirmed. Clarissa Fray actually loved the dress.
After Simon went to find someone to help him with his sizes, Alec and Magnus left. Right when they got outside, Magnus recieved a phone call saying he was needed for something. Being the high warlock of Brookland did mess with a social life. So Magnus had to head back to his place. So Alec decided to walk around a little bit.
As he was stroming through central park, his phone rang. He took it out of his pocket and read the caller ID. It read Jace. he answered it and right away Jace started to talk.
"Oh good you answered. Great okay, I need you to meet me somewhere for something." Jace said.
"Where and what for?" asked Alec. Jace told him and adress and instructed him to meet him there ASAP. Oh great thought Alec. What has he gotten himself into this time.
After a swift walk back into the busy streets of the city, Alec finds his desired location. West Street Jewelers. He walks in and can quickly spot Jace, who looks like a pig in a chicken coop. "Okay what are you, big manly man Jace, doing in a jewelery shop?" inquires Alec, taking in his surroundings.
"Okay so you might think I'm crazy. Well, I think I'm crazy so you will denfinitly think I'm crazy!" says Jace nervously.
"Just spit it out, will you?"
"So after thinking about how Clary is my soul mate and I can never live without her, which I've known for a long time, I have decided to ask Clary to marry me! More specifically at the prom."
"I actually, suprisingly, think that is a good idea. I mean, shadowhunters normally do wed earlier than mundies. So if you think she is THE ONE, why waste another minute?"
"Thanks for your support Alec. Now I just need you to help me pick out a ring."
"Why not? Might as well see what is an option for Magnus. And before you ask, I'm not sure when I'll ask him, or if he'll beat me to it. So let's pick out a ring for dear Clarissa."
So Jace is going to propose, for real, to Clary. How do you think he'll do it? Let me know what you think!
