(A/N) italic and bold put together is a quote. There is one in here, but I'm not sure if it is exact because I didn't use the book. But it's still marked as a quote. Enjoy! R&R!

Clary POV

Jace leaned in, closing the small space between me and him; we were sitting on the bed in the room next to mine, after Magnus and Alec left. His lips were soft. His tongue brushed my bottom lip. I opened my mouth slightly letting his tongue in. we were there for who knows how long, just kissing passionately.

After that we went downstairs to find out how long we were making out for, it was two and a half hours. We spent the day doing little things, things that normal people would have done a million times. Stuff I was deprived of. Simple things like going to the beach, the movies, mini golfing, bowling, and rock climbing. (I had to change for that one. Isabelle had got me in a super-short red leather dress. Which I was glad to get out of. I was now wearing a pair of too-big jeans, and a super-loose t-shirt, which belonged to jace.)

We got back to institute around 2:00am, because we got kicked out of the all-night rock-climbing place. Jace thinks it is because we started making out at the top of the wall, when all of the little kids were watching. I think it was because we were having a contest of who can hit more employees with our shoes. Jace hit one employee with each shoe. I had one of my shoes on a good angle, so that once it hit the employee in the head, it tumbled to the left and hit the one standing beside him in the shoulder, and my other shoe hit one female employee. Then security ordered us down, when we didn't come down they came up and pulled us off the wall, and literally threw us out.

We walked through the door. I'm still wearing Jace's clothes. Isabelle freaked when she saw what I was wearing. We ignored her, and Jace pulled me upstairs and into his room. We sat on his bed and made out for another hour. A while later we lie down on his bed and try to sleep. Why am I doing this? I just met the guy! I don't know myself at all, do I? I'll have to figure that out. Neither of us can sleep. We hold hands, and walk down to the greenhouse. We spend a lot of the night cuddling, pointing out the most amazing flowers; I especially liked the blue and white one. It was sorta striped, and it only opened up at night. Eventually we crashed, using each other as a pillow.

I wake up in the morning, my head resting on Jace's bare chest. He was still wearing his jeans, and I was still wearing his clothes; a baggy black t-shirt with Metallica written on it. And a pair of blue jeans. "Good morning sleepy-head." He said when I picked my head up. When had we fallen asleep? Who knows. At least we got some sleep.

"Morning." I respond sleepily. "Wanna go see if Maryse made pancakes?"

"Sure, but if Isabelle made them…" I never got to see what would happen if Isabelle made pancakes.

"How often do you have pancakes?"

"Almost every morning." Jace replies. "If she did, I call twelve."

"Twelve? Sounds like someone's being a piggy." I teased.

"Are you calling me fat?"

"No. It's an –"

"I'm not fat."

"I know that."

"Good." We walk towards the kitchen. Jace makes a disgusted face. "Isabelle was cooking again." He commented.

"Come on it might taste better than it smells." As I said my words, I knew they were false. The smell was worse than the stench of a demon. And that is defiantly saying something.

"Clary let me clue you in on Isabelle's cooking. She can burn ICE!" he almost screamed the last word.

"How?"

"She's Isabelle." He said as if it were the simplest thing in the world.

We were I the park, near an apartments building, when I realized Jace was going somewhere. Where? Why? I guess I'll just have to ask.

`"I'll be back soon" Jace promised.

"Where are you going?"

"To make the institute your official home."

I leaned in, and kissed his cheek, while I was leaning back to my original standing-up strait position I whispered "Thank you." How many times was I going to end up saying that to him? He smiles at me. Not the incompetent smile he gives most of the time. But a hopeful smile. He really wanted to help me. He is about to walk away when I remember something. "Do you want me to make a portal?"

"You can't portal to Idris and –" he just realized what I had said. "Wait. Make a portal? Only warlocks can do that."

"Sure. Warlocks; and Clarys'." He smiled.

"That doesn't mean I can portal into Idris does it?"

"No, but you can portal, like, right outside of Idris."

"Alright. Where?"

"Over by that wall will do." I walked over to the wall, and drew a portal rune with my stele.

"thanks." This time, it was Jace saying that. "It's a rune?"

"What did you think it was? A puppy?"

"Hey being sarcastic is my thing." He said like he was a five-year-old who was just deprived of his favorite toy. He had a pout to match. I take out my stele, close my eyes, and let my hand drift across the wall thinking 'portal, portal…' when I'm done I open my eyes to see the familiar rune, opening up into a doorway. Jace is –unsuccessfully –trying to hide his surprise.

After I'm done saying goodbye to Jace, I walk back to the institute; Isabelle is taking me shopping. I'm not going back to my old house to pick up my clothes, and this family is rich. When I say rich I mean rich. Right now I'm wearing her 'long' dress. It only comes to just above my knees. And it's too 'long' on me.

"Do we have to go?" I ask her.

"You can't wear my clothes forever. They're too big on you."

"Good point. Let's get this over with." We head to the mall. Isabelle drives.

"What stores should we go to? How about that French store on floor two? Oh! And we have to go to Aropostal, Hollister, lulu lemon, Abercrombie, garage, and blue notes!"

"Umm… I was thinking we could just get everything from GAP, or old navy. They're cheap."

"That is exactly why we are not shopping there. I have two mottos one for shoes, and one for clothes: shoes: nothing less than seven inches. Clothes: nothing less than forty bucks apiece

"You. Are. Rich. My clothes motto is: if it's less than ten dollars, buy it. Half my clothes are guys' clothes. She gives me a look that says 'you're not getting out of this, we. Are. Shopping. Properly.' Next thing I know, we're in a stupid fancy store called 'Le Chateaux'

"I am not shopping here." I give Isabelle a stubborn look.

"Yes you are." Isabelle says lightly, and picks up four dresses. "Oh! Sale! It's only four-hundred bucks apiece!" she exclaims.

"Four hundred? Sale means five dollars or less."

"Oh, do you mean you've never been here? Well you will have been here for about four hours when we're done."

She wasn't exaggerating. Around four hours later she goes to the check-out counter and pays. She got me eight dresses. None of them came below the knee. Most were pretty simple. a yellow flowing one (which came with matching yellow hoop earrings), a small purple one, with one strap, with a silver buckle-sort-of thing on it, one that is pretty much a long sky-blue tank-top, a green one that had a round neckline and straps with a slant, so that one side almost reached my knee, and the other was almost showing my underwear. There was a second purple one, this one was strapless, and had a silver buckle that couldn't be tightened or loosened. As well as a strapless mini red one with two black stripes running down the side of it, a simple flowing red one (with straps as thin as spaghetti). The final one was a super-ultra-mini sparkly, royal bluer dress, with short sleeves. The total amount was $2599.85.

"I can't believe we got off with that price! I know this was a sale, but still! This is amazing!" I decided not to comment on that. By the time we were done, Isabelle had nothing for herself, and we were totally loaded with stuff. We went to what seemed like a million different stores, spending a whole lot at every one, we were finally done. I never wanted to walk into another store again! Nor did I think I'd ever need to. We got 27 dresses, 44 shirts, 44 pairs of pants/shorts, 20 skirts, 33 pairs of shoes, 30 pairs of socks, 30 pairs of panties, 2 sports bras, and 17 push-up bras and spent over $100'00.

"Is all this really necessary?"

"Yes. And be thankful, I know someone that I think you like, and he really likes girls wearing mini-dresses." I give her a confused look, even though I know exactly who she's talking about. She rolls her eyes in response. "You know who I'm talking about." She was teasing me. Or maybe not. I didn't know her well enough to tell. And who the hell has this much cash?

"Do you want to go to the arcade? Another thing I've never done, so, can we?"

"That's because –" she gets cut off by jace, who seems to materialize behind us.

"I have yet to take you." He finishes for her.

"Isabelle, –"

"Call me Izzy."

"Okay. Izzy how about all three of us go? Oh! And we can invite Alec and Magnus!"

"sure." Again, time seems to skip, I must be zoned out today I think. All of us are at the arcade; jace is sitting behind me, guiding my hands on the steering wheel. Alec and Magnus are racing against us. We cross the finish line for the second time. One more lap to go. About half way around they pass us, but that only lasts around four seconds.

"We are so powning you!" Jace exclaims

"Yeah right!" Alec responds. "In your dreams!"

"I have better things to dream about!" Jace retorts. I roll my eyes. Wed do win the game, and get 50 prize tickets. Jace and I work together to win about fifteen more games, (the racing once more, guitar hero a couple of times, air hockey twice, and that girly dance game once, Jace was against it, and ski ball; who knows how many times). In the end we ended up with 254 prize tickets. We picked out a teddy bear the size of me. Fluffy, brown, soft, and completely humongous! We both wanted to keep it, so Jace and I did rock-paper-scissors. I won. Rock versus paper.

"You know I knew you were gonna chose paper. I let you win.

"Sure. You keep thinking that."

"I will."

(A/N) I actually like the store Le Chateaux, just to point that out, and I am aware that 27 dresses is a movie. Okay, so I put the prices up a lot so, don't think the store is too expansive and not shop there, if you haven't already been there. These stores are supposed to be for rich people, so yeah.

And I haven't got to the main plot yet, so, this is going to be a long story.

Tell me if you liked it, using my favorite button, and if you have any tips to help me improve. Thx!
