AN: hey sorry about the wrong updating of the chapter and also being so late with updates I was waiting for a significant amount of suggestions but they never came :( needless to say very depressing though there were a lot of suggestions for Alec which are all being taking into account! But Alec will be one of our last performers so please review Pm me with OTHER characters and WHAT THEY SHOULD SING! Again sorry about the mix-up I will never update so early in the morning and rush it again!


Simon watched as Izzy ascended up the stairs on to the stage she smiled out into the crowd and Simon could have swore that her eyes lingered in his general direction a little longer then they were meant to. Simon gulped. But as the slow acoustic guitar sound started up and Isabella faced the crowd one hand gripping the micro phone stand the other tapping her thigh gently with the beat, she looked down at Simon smiling gently before her voice began to weave its magic;

"Don't know much about your life. Don't know much about your world, but"

She looked right at Simon her gaze never wavering. Simon could only stare, Magnus's song had made him feel… awkward was probably the best way to put it, but this; this was a whole new kind of awkward.

"Don't want to be alone tonight; on this planet they call earth."

Simon remembered the night right after Max died, Izzy hauled up in her room, not willing to speak to anyone, so filled with mourning and regret and guilt. Simon remembered how at first he had really thought they were going to do it. Like 'do it' do it. He would have never thought he would be that lucky, a nerd like him and a gorgeous goddess like Izzy.

But they didn't they didn't even kiss, Simon just lied there listening to Izzy pour her heart out, until her tears stained the blanket beneath her and she fell asleep, curled next to him. He had never seen her look so at peace.

"You don't know about my past, and I don't have a future figured out. And maybe this is going too fast. And maybe it's not meant to la-ast"

Simon felt Clary's foot nudge his, he reluctantly turned to look at his friend who mouthed she's singing to you

Simon made a der face before returning his attention to the stage; Izzy's pale skin seemed to glow under the spot light.

Izzy's eyes met Simon's for the briefest of moments before they turned away, she almost looked sad as her voice began to sing in perfect harmony with the chorus "But what do you say to taking chances? What do you say to jumping off the edge?"

She stretched one had out to the crowd grabbing the cordless microphone with the other as she held it closer to her mouth her eyes closing; "Never knowing if there's solid ground below. Or hand to hold, or hell to pay."

Everyone's eyes, including Isabelle's seemed to be on Simon now, he felt Maia's liquid lava gaze to the side of him and felt himself shrink was bad.

"What do you say, what do you say? I just want to start again, and maybe you could show me how to try"

Izzy stood away form the stand now holding the microphone to her mouth tilting her head back, her black hair swayed behind her like an ebony curtain as she got more into the beat of the song, tapping one heeled boot in the rhythm that was gradually building.

"And maybe you could take me in, somewhere underneath your skin?"

Jace sniggered at the last line which caused everyone, but Maia, to glare at him, he mouthed 'what' before returning his attention to Isabelle.

As she got more intone with the song, and more into it so did the crowd Simon could hear some people clapping in the beat, which only egged the theatrical Izzy on thurther, she placed the microphone back on the stand throwing her hands up in the air, a huge genuine smile on her face.

'At least she is smiling' Simon thought sending a quick glance to the scowling Maia.

"What do you say to taking chances? What do you say to jumping off the edge? Never knowing if there's solid ground below, or hand to hold, or hell to pay. What do you sa-ay"

Izzy turned to the direction of Simon and pointed out to him, several people whistled and clapped as she made it clear who she was singing to. "What do you sa-ay?

Izzy turned to face the rest of the crowd strutting of the stage with a little jump till she was in the middle of the floor microphone in hand she belted out the lyrics, her voice now louder and filled with more confidence.

It was hard not to feel pumped listening to a Celine Dion song. Even Simon was man enough to admit that.

"And I had my heart beaten down, but I always come back for more, yeah."

Izzy made a zig zagging motion with her hands crouching down low,before pretending to pull herself up.
"There's nothing like love to pull you up, when you're laying down on the floor there."

Izzy's hand trailed up her hip past her neck to stand up tall in the air "So talk to me, talk to me,
Like lovers do."
She winked at Simon, and if Simon was human and he would have blushed. But instead he just gaped at the young woman who was making the stage hers.
Izzy turned on her heel strutting back up to the stage "Yeah walk with me; walk with me, Like lovers do! Like lovers do!"

She placed the microphone back in the stand throwing both arms up in the air singing out to the crowd, not only was she smiling but her ebony eyes were too, Simon knew it sounded corny but he hadn't seen her so happy since max's death.

"What do you say to taking chances? What do you say to jumping off the edge! Never knowing if there's solid ground below. Or hand to hold-"

Izzy glanced at Simon her eyebrow raising seductively as she sang the line her voicequieting "or hell to pay, what do you say, What do you say?" she sang the last lines almost as if she was daring Simon to do something. Simon felt his gut flip.

Izzy closed her eyes for the finale gripping the microphone with both of her hands "Don't know much about your life"

Her eyes opened and for the briefest of moments Simon saw something flash in her eyes that he doubted anyone had ever seen before "Don't know much about your world"

The music slowed down and Izzy stood stunned by the microphone for the briefest of moments before she blinked and seemed too remember her surroundings the whole Bar cheered but Simon found that Maia didn't even batter an eyelid as Izzy bowed and made her way back to the table.

"Wow iz that was amazing" clary said beaming

"Even I can admit that that sounded good" Jace said smirking slightly, eyeing the stage with curiosity.

Alec nodded leaning over and giving Izzy the briefest of hugs Izzy seemed just as surprised as the rest of them but she returned it.

"You we're great Iz" he said returning back to Magnus's side Magnus held him close nodding "well done Isabelle you got a standing ovation"

Izzy was smiling widely as she turned to Simon "so-" she said her grin not faltering "what did you think Simon" she said leaning closer to Simon her hand on his knee.

Simon gulped "i…ah…. I thought it was…"

"I've seen Better" Maia mumbled taking a large gulp of her drink.

Simon distinctively heard Magnus whisper "cat fight" making a pretend clawing motion at the air, Alec snorted, covering it with a cough that attracted the attention of everyone except the two girls.

"Smooth" Jace said rolling his eyes

Izzy sent Maia her trade make glare "I didn't ask your opinion" she said her voice coated with venom

"Because I would give an honest answer" Maia replied coolly and Simon sensed Izzy's anger rise.

Izzy stood up both her hands on the table glaring down at Maia "do you have a problem with me?" she asked it was Simon who noticed the beginnings of Isabelle's whip wrapped around her wrist like a cobra ready to strike.

Maia smirked standing up also holding her drink in her hand; she stood up so abruptly it sloshed over the edge "I don't have a problem? Do you?"

Magnus watching the display with amused eyes sighed "I knew I shouldn't have given minors alcohol"

Clary's fake over emphasised laugh broke the glaring competition between Maia and Izzy she reached over and grabbed Izzy's wrist.

"Hey Izzy I need to go to the toilet" she paused when Izzy didn't move. Simon watched as Clary went up behind Izzy tugging on her arm "like. Right. Now"

Izzy rolled her eyes but followed Clary in the direction of the girl's toilets. When she and Clary were out of sight Maia sat back down, arms crossed over her chest pouting.

Jace cleared his throat as the silence settled "I have never understood that whole toilet pairing thing" he said turning to Maia "do all girls do it?"

Maia just glared at him standing up and excusing herself as she headed in the direction of the bar. Simon sighed.

"With that little, spat on hiatus I think another singer is in order" Magnus said clapping his hands once, looking down at Alec expectantly. Alec shook his head his eye brows furrowed.

Magnus's smiled didn't waver as he turned to Jace and Simon, his cat's eyes glinting in the bar's light, made Simon uneasy.

"So who's next" he said eyebrows raised at the two boys.

Jace and Simon turned to each other, neither willing to volunteer.
