Thanks everyone! I hope you liked the Simon pov. This should be the last chapter before the action starts, so enjoy it!

Btw this is set two days after last chapter, so about nine days after Clary and Isabelle arrived in Oregon.

Isabelle had a plan. It was genius really, even more than usual. Shadowhunters don't usually use the Internet, but this was an exception. "Night Clubs in Adams, Oregon." Of course, Adams was nothing like New York. New York had dozens of clubs just for under 21. But, after several minutes of digging, Isabelle found one.

And, of course, at that moment the door swung open.

"Malorie."

Izzy turned off her phone quickly, "Hey Andy."

"What were you doing?"

"Nothing. Just messing around on my phone."

Andrew sat down on the edge of Isabelle's bed, "Uh, Stella was wondering what your last name was."

"What? Why? I mean, why does she care?"

Andrew narrowed his eyes suspiciously, "She wants to put it in her, uh, book."

"Oh yeah. It's...," Isabelle thought back nine days to her first night with the Greater Demon. Their first day, Clary randomly decided she wanted aliases and Izzy, being the quick thinker she was, played along. Clary was "Lola Penhallow" and Isabelle was "Malorie Blackthorn."

"Blackthorn," finished Izzy, moving to sit next to the boy on the edge of her bed.

"Great."

Even though Andrew was clearly finished, he remained by Isabelle, playing with his fingers. Izzy raised her eyebrows. She knew what kind of effect she had on boys like Andrew.

"Are you done?"

"Uh, yeah. I am," Andrew said, still sitting on her bed.

"So, are you just going to sit here?"

Andrew sighed, "Uh, Stella told me not to ask, but I'm just curious about where you're from."

Isabelle smiled. The people of Clary and Isabelle's new home were good on not prying, but Isabelle had spent a long time (it helped keep her mind off Simon) thinking about a good background story, and she was itching to try it out on someone.

"I'm from Idris. "

Andrew looked off into the distance, "Alicante?" Izzy nodded. "I've never been there before."

"Seriously!?"

"Yeah... W-What's it like?"

"Idris? Yeah, it's really pretty. Green, lots of diversity, and you don't have to wear glamor. But, why haven't you been there?"

"Uh, I grew up in the Memphis Institute and my parents didn't really like traveling. Then, when they d-died, Jackie and I were supposed to move to Idris, but, uh, the Clave sent us here to Oregon instead."

"What's Florida like?" asked Izzy.

"Hot. And, uh, humid. Not like here."

"Yeah, well I got to get ready."

Andrew frowned, "For what?"

Izzy smirked, "You'll just have to wait and see."

Clary and Nick spent the afternoon knife-fighting and Clary was exhausted. Usually the afternoon was a break between morning training and evening demon-hunting, but today, for reasons unbeknownst to Clary and Nick, Isabelle insisted they train all day.

Between the training room and Clary's room was several hallways, one of which led off into the main living room. As Clary passed the door to the living room, she heard Isabelle and Stella arguing. Of course, Clary's curiosity got the best of her and she had to eavesdrop.

"Stella, it's just one night."

"Absolutely not," rang Stella's voice.

"Why don't we take a vote on it?"

"My vote counts as ten."

"Taking a break might make us work harder."

"Or you'll get so used to fun, you won't want to hunt demons anymore."

"Dancing can make us more graceful."

"Demons don't care about grace."

"Maybe they're will be demons at the club."

Silence.

"Malorie, I just can't afford to miss a night."

Without missing a beat Izzy said, "I didn't want to do this, but you've given me no choice. Andrew and I will go demon-hunting while you, Lola, Nick, and Jackie go to 'Eradicated Evolution.'"

"No."

Izzy groaned, "You're no fun, Stella!"

"I know."

"My last argument, Stella: Nick."

"Nick?"

"And Lola."

What?!

"You want to get them together."

"They're meant for each other, Stella. I know you don't have fun, but you believe in love, right?"

Clary had to bite her tongue to keep from storming in there. Nick and Clary? He just looks so much like Jace. Jace. The name tasted like acid in Clary's mouth.

But Nick. Nick was not Jace. Nick would never hurt Clary. Maybe Izzy's right...

"I don't know Malorie."

"Yes you do. You've already made up your mind. Be at my room by 5:00 so I can pretty you up," Izzy squealed, "Oh, the things I'll be able to do with you!"

Footsteps.

Clary's heart skipped a beat and she backed up into another room.

She was going to a club, "Eradicated Evolution," with Nick.

What was she going to wear?

Stella stared at herself in the reflection of the window by the entrance to the club. Izzy worked a miracle. Stella's red-blonde hair was curled to perfection and half clipped back. She wore a sleeveless, blood red dress that went down past her knees and flowered heels. Stella's brown eyes, which were usually too small and plain, were bright and incandescent with eyeliner and dark brown eye shadow.

Stella sighed. Why did she agree to this, again?

"Ooh! I can't believe we're actually going! I never thought I 'd see the day..." smiled Jackie.

Of course, this only made Stella's stomach twist. Jackie was too young to be going to this place! Stella watched the people entering and exiting "Eradicated Evolution." Two teenagers stood making out by the trash can that a woman with purple hair was throwing up into. A tall, balding man in his forties stared at a group of young girls. Jackie was young and pretty, surely men would take an interest in her!

Stella took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down. She tried to remember every argument Izzy made. Just one night, taking a break, grace, and, especially, Lola and Nick. Stella sees the way they look at each other. They are meant to be together.

Bearing these things in mind, Stella entered the building.

Hey guys! Thanks to everyone for your follows, favorites, and reviews! I love them. I recently had a great idea for a new fanfic, but I promised myself I'd get to chapter 20 on this one. So, I decided if I'm not up to 50 follows by chapter 10, I'll just write that other one.

But, for now, I'm sticking to this! I really like where this story is going and I have it all figured out so thanks for reading, and PLEASE continue!
