Hi again, guys. This time I don't have much to say, so, let's jump right in.

BTW, Just to clarify: Clary, Simon and Isabelle are 16; Jace is 17; Jonathan is 17 and about to be 18 in a month and Alec's 18.

I don't own anything. Everything belongs to Cassie.

Clary had had very few crushes. Her first crush was at fourteen. It was a guy called Sebastian Verlac, who was Aline Penhallow's cousin. That definitely held out for a very long time, since Sebastian was ...well, He was the first guy she met who was one of her brother's friends but didn't tease or make fun of her. AND, he was french. What was not to love? And, after that, for a while, she kind of liked Jace, not that she'd ever admit it. And she'd kill anyone who would dare to say it, but she still found him attractive-ish?

But, nevermind, his snobbish attitude was definitely a turn-off. Anyway, not like he would ever like her.

Now, however, she was sure she was crushing on this Will Turner guy. Ugh, why'd he have to be fictional?

...

"Hey, Clary! Will you come over to my place to get ready for the fair?" Isabelle's voice pulled Clary from thoughts of Legolas and Will Turner. "Actually, you might as well come to my house for a sleep over. I already asked Aunt Jocie."

"Sure, Izzy", she called back.

The annual fair at Alicante, was about to take place the next day. And Clary was, to say the least, excited. There would be all sorts of games, rides, weapon shops, book shops and, if she was lucky, the occasional mundane dalliance sellling shop, set up by people who were obsessed with mundane pop culture, like her. What was a girl to do? The shadowhunters had no sense of entertainment. Best of all, they wouldnt have training at all, for a whole week!

Currently, Clary was lounging on her bed, holding a comic book up, so she could read, while Isabelle went through her closet, curating her outfits for the sleepover.

"But why the hell do you have to pick outfits for me, Izzy? You've never done that before!"

Izzy muttered something that sounded suspiciously like "Jace" and "push in the right direction" and "oblivious"

Clary, half-immersed in her comic, shrugged it off.

...

When Clary stepped in with Izzy into the Lightwoods' home, she immediately noticed Jace lounging on a couch in the living room.

Before he could notice her, she turned around to run out, only to be stopped by Izzy. "What's HE doing here?"

Izzy, was inexplicably, trying to hide a smile. " He's sleeping over too. Alec asked him over. Apparently Stephen and Celine had work to do. With the fair and all."

" Clary, I'll talk to him, he won't annoy you. I promise."

"Nope, I'm going straight home."

" No you're not." Isabelle pushed her right back through the doors and this time Jace definitely noticed.

And, somehow, when Jace looked at her, something was fluttering in her stomach. Huh, maybe she was hungry.

" Hi, Goldilocks. Before you ask, nope, I'm not stalking you."

"Good to know, Red." he smirked.

Clary walked straight to Izzy's room, from where she could hear Izzy talking to Jace, and grabbed a chips packet, munching on them religiously

...

"Izzy, I don't need to wear make up and no, I shouldn't wear that top. It's a fair with friends. NOT a date." Clary protested at her friend's efforts to get her dressed up.

"It might as well be." Izzy muttered.

"WHAT!? Izzy please don't tell me you set up a blind date."

"Nope. I did not."

Clary looked at her suspiciously.

"I really did not."

...

Turned out, Sebastian and Aline accompanied Clary, Izzy and Jace to the fair. Alec had gone to New York with his parents .

They were going to meet Simon at the fair.

Or not.

"Hey, Clare!" said Simon, waving at her from the Lightwoods' threshold. Clary grinned. This was her plan to finally get Simon and Izzy together. They were perfect together and had liked each other for years too. She turned to Izzy.

"You know, you should hang out with him, today."

"You, sure? I don't want to leave you-"

"I'll be fine, Iz. I'll be with Jace or something."

Izzy raised an eyebrow and nodded her head over to behind Clary. "I think he's busy, Clary. With Aline."

Behind her, Jace was talking to Sebastian with Aline practically hanging off his arm. The witch. Not that she cared. Nope. She didn't care. At all.

When she turned back to Izzy, she was half-smiling, wearing a knowing expression, but quickly schooled her features. Clary, with her brain too muddled up with hostile thoughts towards Aline, shook it off.

"Fine. I'll hang out with Sebastian. He's more tolerable than Jace, anyway. Now, GO!" She turned Izzy around and pushed her to towards Simon.

As the two walked off together, she smiled. And turned around to go to the three behind her.

"Well, let's go." Jace said, smirking, like always and brushing past her with Aline still hanging onto his arm. Clary, torn between annoyance and excitement for Simon and Izzy, all but dragged Sebastian out the door.

...

Tell me what you think. The next update should be coming up very soon. As in, three days or so. So, please don't get annoyed with me for this being so short.

Thanks for reading, be sure to review.

Until next time.
