It's been a while since I updated, I've been camping, sorry!

In this chapter they go trick or treating! Sorry that it's taking so long for them to get to the party! I was planning on starting it next chapter, but it's ended up a bit different.

Disclaimer- I own nothing sadly. Except the writing, which is my own!

Last chapter: They find out what everyone is wearing, and they decide to go trick or treating.

Isabelle was right, Simon was dressed as Frankenstein! But she didn't expect his costume to look realistic! He had painted his face bright green and his usual bed head had been flattened! Like Isabelle, he had bolts and fake stitching on his neck. His clothes were ripped and tattered and fake stitches and blood covered with body. His eyes looked sunken and he had a big line of stitching across his forehead. She had expected Simon to just wear a Frankenstein mask, not a full costume! But this was good, Frankenstein had to look as good as his bride! Well, the bride has to look better, but it would be silly if she had worked really hard on her outfit to make it realistic and he was just wearing a mask.

"Simon, you do know that you are supposed to wear a costume, right?" Jace asked Simon sarcastically. Simon wasn't amused.

"I did, I am wearing a costume. But somebody looks like they didn't bother changing from their last fight with a Demon," Simon replied, also sarcastically.

"Isabelle? I know, I told her to put something proper on but she just didn't listen!"

"I wonder why," Simon groaned.

"When's Alec going to get here?" Clary asked Isabelle, in order to change the subject. They were supposed to be meeting Alec and Simon outside of Taki's so they could go trick or treating. Simon was already there when they'd arrived, but Alec was late.

"He's supposed to be here now, but then again, he was at Magnus' house so Angel knows what time he'll get here!" Isabelle replied. Magnus wasn't happy about Alec being taken away from him to go trick or treating with the group! He was probably keeping him behind so he could have Alec to himself for a bit longer.

"Ring him and ask where he is?"

"I will," Isabelle got out her phone and started to type in Alec's number. She was about to press ring when they saw Alec running towards them.

"Sorry…I'm…late…got…held…up…" Alec panted.

"Yes, held up doing what?" Jace asked, making kiss noises.

"Shut…up…are…we…going….trick…or….treating…or…what?"

"Alec, are you okay?" Isabelle asked.

"I'm…fine…just…out…of…breath," Alec panted heavier. Isabelle patted him on the back.

"Want some water?"

"Yes…please,." Isabelle got a drink of water out of her bag. Alec had a big long sip before handing it back to her.

"You just carry water around in your trick or treat bag?" Jace asked, confused.

"Well, you never know when you may need a drink! Plus, water is good for the body!" Isabelle said smugly. Isabelle liked to keep water with her, because water is good for a healthy body and Isabelle liked to take care of herself. And the boys liked it too!

"So, where shall we go?" Simon asked.

"The moon, where do you think?" Jace moaned.

"I've always wanted to go to the moon!"

"Simon?" Jace asked.

"Yes?"

"Shut up."

"Let's go to this house!" Clary chimed, again trying to change the subject. She hated how her boyfriend and her best friend didn't get along. She knew it would be hard for them both seeing as Simon was in love with her for so long, but they could at least make an effort.

Isabelle and Alec followed her, with Simon and Jace trudging behind. Clary had to stand on her tiptoes to reach the doorbell. She hated the fact she was so short! The heels on her boots made no difference to her height whatsoever.

The door was answered by a seven year old girl wearing a faerie costume. Her dress was pink with a tutu skirt and she had silver fairy wings on her back. When she saw the five teenagers she screamed and ran into another room. A tall woman in a witch hat and black dress appeared at the door with a stern look on her face.

"Don't you know better than to scare little children? My poor Chrissie will be having nightmares now thanks to you lot!" The woman said. Chrissie was hiding behind her mothers leg, still sobbing.

"So sorry, we didn't realize," Isabelle said sweetly, fluttering her eyelashes. She turned to the little girl, "sorry Chrissie, we weren't trying to frighten you. Don't worry, we're not real monsters, we're only pretending! We're just wearing costumes! But you, I thought you were a real faerie when you answered the door!" The little girl smiled.

"Really?" The girl grinned.

"Really! I thought you had came from faerie land, your costume is that good!"

"Mummy can we give the nice girl some sweeties?" The girl asked her mum.

"I'm not sure, are you not frightened of them?" Her mother frowned.

"I'm not! Please? The pretty one said I look like a real faerie!"

"Oh, alright then!" She smiled and pulled out a bowl from the shelf behind her. It was filled with Mars bars, Twixes and Kit Kats. Clary and Isabelle reached out for a Mars, Simon and Jace picked a Kit Kat while Alec grabbed a Twix.

"Thank you!" they chorused.

"Nice work, Iz!" Jace said, chomping on his Kit Kat.

"Jace, you're eating already?" Alec questioned.

"What? It's my Kit Kat, I can do what I like with it. Besides, I'm hungry."

"And you wouldn't be if you ate the pasta I'd made earlier!" Isabelle snapped.

"I'd rather starve than eat your pasta Iz. Seriously, only you can burn half of it and undercook the other half. Learn to cook, will you?" Isabelle decided not to comment on that.

Ever the peacemaker, Clary said "Lets try this house!"

"I'm ringing the doorbell this time!" Alec enthused. Jace shot him a confused look. "What? I just want to ring the doorbell!"

Jace pushed past Alec and rang the doorbell before he could.

"Sorry, but you should have been quicker!" Jace shrugged.

This time the door was opened by an elderly man and his wife. Again, they looked terrified when they caught sight of zombie Jace. The only difference was, this time the woman slapped Jace across the cheek and told him to go away and never come back. They slammed the door before he could say a word.

"No candy then?" Jace said.

"Yes, they're going to give you a Nestle fun bag because of your realistic costume," Simon said.

"That's nice of them"

Over the next hour they knocked on thirty seven houses, they got a treat on twenty one and a trick on the other sixteen. Sometimes the people didn't want to give them anything, but Jace managed to persuade them otherwise. Jace had gotten the least amount of sweets, most adults had found his sarcasm and backchat too cheeky and refused to give him anything. Isabelle had the most because she mostly batted her lashes and looked pretty in order to get treats, and it worked like a charm.

"Shall we head over to the party now?" Alec suggested.

"Can we not do one more house?" Jace pleaded with puppy dog eyes. Isabelle had learned to resist his puppy dog face, but Clary went weak at the knees.

"Of course!" Clary smiled. "Which house?"

"That one!" Jace pointed to a giant house at the other end of the street. It was tall and creepy and had lots of windows.

"Um, Jace, that's the Institute" Clary laughed.

"No, not that one, the one next to it!"

"We already went there!"

"Ugh, no the one on the other side of the Institute!" Jace was getting frustrated.

"That one? But nobody lives there?" Clary was confused. The house had many tiles missing off the roof and the windows were smashed. The grass was overgrown and there was mould growing on the walls.

"I know" Jace sprinted towards the house. Unsurprisingly, everyone stayed put. Jace looked back to see everyone standing there giving him strange looks. "What? Are you too CHICKEN?" Jace beckoned everyone towards him. Simon, not wanting to look like a wimp ran forward first.

"Course not!" Simon laughed, running towards Jace.

"I'm not sure, should we really be doing this?" Alec mumbled.

"Don't be such a baby, Alec!" Jace called out to him. Alec groaned and ran forward, followed by Isabelle and Clary who were lifting up their skirts as they ran.

"So, who's going in first?" Simon enquired.

"I think the vampire should," Jace suggested.

"It was your idea, so you should!"

"I think Alec should seeing as he was scared!"

"No way! You go!" Alec exclaimed.

"Then who will? I'm certainly not going!" Isabelle shook her head.

"You're all such babies!" Jace laughed.

"Well I don't see you volunteering to go in!" Clary snapped.

"And I don't see you volunteering to go in either!"

"How about we all go in?"

"Don't be silly Clary, we'll never fit through the door!"

"I'll go" Alec grumbled.

"What?" Jace cocked his head.

"I said I'll go, it'll save us arguing. Besides, it's only a house. How bad could it be?" Before anyone could say anything Alec was through the door. He wanted to prove to everyone that he wasn't soft, he was as tough as everyone else was.

"I give him thirty seconds" Jace said, folding his arms. Thirty seconds later and Alec still wasn't out.

"Alec?" Isabelle called, worriedly.

"Isabelle, he'll be fine, he's only been in there a minute," Jace said. Isabelle ignored him and she pushed open the door, except Alec wasn't there.

*plays dramatic music*

So, what did you think? Was it funny enough? Am I taking things too slow? I hope nobody went OOC.

I was planning on making them go to the party this chapter, but my imagination had other ideas. I promise they will actually go to the party at some point!
