Clary POV
The bus drive felt like a million years had passed by, but I knew better than that; only about like, four hours passed by.
I was still in my bunk with Jace, who was still sleeping, playing with his soft hair. I looked in the darkness; I had woken up some time ago and decided to enjoy this little moment for a while till his ego woke up. I heard the bus screech to a stop and bounce back a bit and that woke Jace up.
"What…." He said groggily and I propped myself on one elbow.
"I think we're at our destination," I tell him and he thumps his head back on the pillow.
"Five more minutes," he mumbled and I rolled my eyes.
"Well, this is what you get for staying up late and trying to play pranks on one another; doesn't feel good, does it, guy?" I asked him and he shook his head. I crawled over him and out of the bunk with a terrific mount. I walked to the main room on the bus and saw Raphael already awake. It was like he didn't sleep at all; maybe he was a vampire…
"Hey," I greet and he nods at me. I look out the window and look at the view. People and cars pass by; unaware of what or who was here. We were in Boston, Massachusetts. It was big and broad, and in traffic.
"It's going to take time to find the bay area," Hodge called out from his driver's seat.
We were going to perform on a bay tour. They had the stage arena set up at the New England Aquarium, where a crowd of fans would be. But we thought it would be fun to go on the Boston Duck Tours. Jace had protested against it while we were planning our arrangements for the tour.
"No, I will not go on that Boston Duck Tours," Jace said stubbornly.
"Why not, Jace; it could be fun," I told him but he just shrugged, I turned to Raphael.
"Jace doesn't like ducks," he said simply and I nearly laughed.
"No, I HATE them. Little cannibal bastards," he said.
"Now, where did you ever hear of cannibal ducks in Boston?" I said, giggling at him.
"My a lot of greats' grandfather; my father told me a story that he and his friend were at Hyde Park and those little feathered devils chased them because they had poultry pie with them and they hate them. But I don't like them because of that, it just comes to me naturally," Jace had explained.
A yawning, disheveled Jace came into the main body of the bus.
"Are we at the damn duck tour yet, I want to get that over with," he said and Raphael and I shook our heads.
"We're in traffic," I tell him and he flops on the couch. I hear a beeping noise and I look over at my laptop. It was open and a Skype call was going off. I walked over and answered it and guess who popped up; my friends and even Max was there.
"Hey," I said and put a lock behind my ear and sat on my knees.
"Hey, Clary; how's the tour going?" Maia asked me. Raphael and Jace came and sat beside me and waved at the screen.
"Hey, guys," Jace said.
"The tour is going fine right now except for the crazy fans."
"Hey, Clary; did you buy my souvenir yet?" Max yelled, his glasses askew.
"Not yet, buddy; I'm trying to find you the right gift," I said with a wink and his cheeks were a shade of bubblegum pink. I laughed softly at him and put my attention back to the others.
"How's school?" I asked.
"It's okay but without you, it's boring," Simon said. He looked different when I last saw him; he seemed to be paler and dressing differently.
"Are you okay, Simon? You look weird, did something happen that I didn't know about?" my inner snoop was crawling out.
"Isabelle just changed my wardrobe a bit and I got accepted to Manhattan School of Music last night," he said and my eyes widened.
"Oh my god, I'm so happy!" I exclaimed to him. He was in band, Dichotomous Lemurs, or something like that; they always change their name. But he was an excellent bass player.
"Didn't know that someone like you could play," Jace commented and I dug my elbow in his ribs. He winced at the pain but I ignored him.
"I truly am happy for you," I said and he smiled.
We all talked for a long time; cracking jokes, bringing up memories, or just gossip. I liked it, a lot but I knew it would have to end at some point because I felt the bus pull over and we had arrived to our destination. I looked at them and gave a sad smile and said, "I have to go but we'll talk soon, pinky promise," I say and raise my pinky.
"Okay, have fun!" Magnus yelled and I ended the call. I sighed and shut my laptop
"We're here!" Hodge yelled and we boarded off the bus and looked around. It was a nice area, had a good view of the bay and some ducks were floating around.
I heard Jace mutter something and I looked back at him to see that he and a fine yellow duck glaring at each other; I just had to ask, "Jace, what are you doing?"
"Glaring at this feathered bastard," he said and the ducked made a noise of disapproval at him and Jace made a shooing gesture with his leg. The duck waddled back into the water but I had a feeling that it was coming back for Jace any moment now. I ignored the thought and saw a pudgy woman coming toward us.
"Aw, you must be the singers. I'm Amy the tour guide but since you guys are here , it makes my job easier," her voice was in a bored tone that would have made me go to sleep if she was a teacher at school.
"Okay, so we're just going to get our stuff," Raphael said, jutting his thumb at the bus.
"Whatever," she said and went in the vehicle that we would be in with the tourists.
"Well, she's a keeper," Jace said and walked off. I followed them and helped get the stuff. We took the microphones out and the music pad that would be playing the music loud enough for us to hear and sing to. I grabbed the disguises we were to put on and when I turned around, I saw the same duck that Jace was glaring at. It looked away and waddled over to where Jace was standing.
"Jace," I said.
"Hold on," he answered.
"But Jace -," I started but the ducked beat me to it. It gave a honk and startled Jace that he dropped his guitar case.
"Why you mother fu-."
"Jace, it's just a duck," I sighed and walked over to grab the case and give it to him. He glared at the duck and it glared back.
"You're so weird," I say and walked away from him.
"I see that the duck is back," Raphael said walking beside me.
"Yeah, I wonder what will happen and I know it won't be good."
Jace POV
I stared into its beady black eyes as it stared back.
"What do you want duck?" I asked him in my harshest voice. It just stared at me.
"What do you want, poultry pie. It's not good eating your own kind you know, you little bastard," I felt silly for talking to a duck that was small compared to me and weak. I could've snapped its little neck already but it was just a duck; an annoying, little, yellow duck. I growled at myself and walked away but it followed and charged at me on its orange, webbed feet and started to nib at my legs. At least I had jeans on but I could still feel it.
"Hey, what are you doing?" I asked at it and tried to kick it away but it wouldn't budge. I walked backwards and tripped over myself and fell. I could tell that the duck was laughing as it waddled back into the water.
"Wow, the mighty Jace Herondale gets taken down by a little duck," I could hear Raphael's voice and I muttered ungrateful things.
Clary POV
It had been some hours now and it was time for the performance. It was in midday, the sun was bright and the breeze was cool. I had my sunglasses on and the hat Jace had given me when we were chased by the paparazzi.
We three got on the vehicle and hid our microphones and waited for the other passengers. Once they all boarded, Amy stood from where she was.
"Welcome everyone," she tried to put her tone in a cheerful way but failed completely, "I hope you enjoy this tour and have a great time." She put the vehicle in drive and I gave a thumbs up at Hodge, who was controlling the music pad. The music pounded through the air and the tourists were murmuring. I stood up and held the microphone to my lips.

Hey I heard you were a wild one
Oooh
If I took you home
It'd be a home run
Show me how you do
I wanna shut down the club
With you
Hey I heard you like the wild ones (wild ones wild ones)
Oooh
I like crazy, foolish, stupid
Party going wild, fist pumping music,
I might lose it
Blast to the roof, that how we does it
I don't care the night, she don't care we like
Almost dared the right vibe
Ready to get live, ain't no surprise
Take me so high, jumping nose dive
Surfing the crowd
Oooh
Said I gotta be the man
I'm the head of my band, mic check one two
Shut them down in the club while the playboy does it, and y'all get lose, lose
After bottle, we all get bent and again tomorrow
Gotta break loose cause that's the motto
Club shuts down, a hundred super models
People were smiling as they started to recognize us and took pictures. I walked through the little aisle.
Hey I heard you were a wild one
Oooh
If I took you home
It'd be a home run
Show me how you do
I wanna shut down the club
With you
Hey I heard you like the wild ones (wild ones wild ones)
Oooh
Party rocker, foot-show stopper
More Chambord
Number one, club popper
Got a hangover like too much vodka
Can't see me with ten binoculars
So cool
No doubt by the end of the night
Got the clothes coming off
Til I make that move
Somehow, someway, gotta raise the roof, roof
All black shades when the sun come through
Uh-Oh, it's on like everything goes
Round up baby tilt the freaky show
What happens to that body, it's a private show
Stays right here, private show
I like 'em untamed, don't tell me how pain
Tolerance, bottoms up with the champagne
My life, call my homie then we hit Spain
Do you busy with the bail, we get insane
Hey I heard you were a wild one
Oooh
If I took you home
It'd be a home run
Show me how you do
I wanna shut down the club
With you
Hey I heard you like the wild ones (wild ones wild ones)
Oooh
We were making our way to the New England Aquariums but I didn't care right now. I looked into the crowd.
I am a wild one
Break me in
Saddle me up and let's begin
I am a wild one
Tame me now
Running with wolves
And I'm on the prowl
Show you another side of me
A side you would never thought you would see
Tear up that body
Dominate you 'til you've had enough
I hear you like
The wild stuff
Hey I heard you were a wild one
Oooh
If I took you home
It'd be a home run
Show me how you'll do
I wanna shut down the club
With you
Hey I heard you like the wild ones (wild ones wild ones)
Oooh
I am a wild one
Break me in
Saddle me up and let's begin
I am a wild one
Tame me now
Running with wolves
And I'm on the prowl...
I lowered the microphone and they clapped, we were halfway to the stage and the next song came on. We would be singing the first verse and the chorus here and the rest at the stage. Only Raphael and I were doing this, Jace sat to the side and winked at me.

R.I.P. to the girl you used to see
Her days are over, baby she's over
I decided to give you all of me
Baby come closer, baby come closer
Sexy senorita, I feel your aura
Jump out that new motor
Get in my flying saucer
I'll make you call me daddy
Even though you ain't my daughter
Baby I ain't talking books
When I say that I can take you across the borders
I'm young and free, I'm London G
I'm tongue in cheek
So baby give me some time to drink
Slow and steady for me
Go on like a jezzy for me
And say the words soon as you're ready for me
I walked and sat on the edge of the vehicle, dangerous but worth it. We were almost there, just a few more miles and then we land.
I'm ready for ya
Hit 'em all, switch it up
Put 'em on, zip it up
Let my perfume, soak into your sweater
Say you'll be here soon, sooner the better
No option for, you saying no
I run this game, just play a role
Follow my lead, what you waiting for?
Thought it over and decided tonight is your night
Then we made land and I turned around on the edge and jumped off and walked to the stage a few feet away. People were cheering and I waved at them and put the microphone on its holder.
Ca-a-an you fe-e-el my He-he-he-he-heart is beatin'
Ca-a-an you fe-e-el my He-he-he-he-heart is beatin'
R.I.P. to the girl you used to see
Her days are over, baby she's over
(I-I-I'm ready for ya)
I decided to give you all of me
Baby come closer, baby come closer
(I-I-I'm ready for ya)
Jace and Raphael quickly went to the back of the stage before fans could attack them.
Nothing on, I strut around
I do it big, I shut it down
I wonder if you'll be able to handle me
Mental pictures, no cameras please
Ca-a-an you fe-e-el my He-he-he-he-heart is beatin'
Ca-a-an you fe-e-el my He-he-he-he-heart is beatin'
I picked the microphone out of the holder and walked along the edge of the stage.
R.I.P. to the girl you used to see
Her days are over, baby she's over
(I-I-I'm ready for ya)
I decided to give you all of me
Baby come closer, baby come closer
(I, I, I'm ready for ya)
Yeah I hear you talking
Don't know who you trying to flatter
Got my mind made up (I, I, I'm ready for ya)
I'm in control, but with you being a man,
You don't seem to understand (I, I, I'm ready for ya)
I, I, I'm ready for ya
I, I, I'm ready for ya
So keep thinking you the man
Cause it's all part of my plan
I, I, I'Ca-a-an you fe-e-el my He-he-he-he-heart is beatin'
Ca-a-an you fe-e-el my He-he-he-he-heart is beatin'm ready for ya
I stood in the center of the stage and sang the last of the song.
R.I.P. to the girl you used to see
Her days are over...
They all clapped and I smiled.
"Hello, Boston!" I yelled and the rest of the night were blurs.
