Hey, everybody ;)

Ooh, yesterday was a CASA carnival that I worked at (and you all probably don't care but I'm gonna tell you anyways because…) and they broke the world record for the longest ice cream sundae, it was 140 feet and 4 inches! And I ate some of it. Yum! But it was certified and everything by the Genesis book of world records! To make the day even better I got fairy wings and was wearing them around the carnival (because I'm just that cool). Ha.

And then two days ago I went up to the river for a day and had a lot of fun jumping off outrageously high rocks into the river. I also ended up having a really weird conversation with this random lady who was swimming….But I got sunburned :(

Thank you all for the reviews. I LOVED reading them and hearing your suggestions.

Disclaimer: I've given up on these things….Did you know that today is JK Rowling and Harry Potter's birthday. Yeah, they share a birthday.

So without further ado here is the next chapter…

O~O~O~O~O~O

"I'm here!" Clary gasped as she rushed into the institute with eight seconds to spare. She looked around for Izzy and after a quick search she realized two things. Izzy was nowhere to be found and she had no idea how to walk through the institute without getting lost.

"IZZY!" Clary shouted in vain. She wasn't surprised when no one answered. "Angel, what did I get myself into?" Clary murmured to herself before deciding to wander throughout the institute and if luck was on her side she'd find Isabelle eventually. Or maybe if luck was on her side she wouldn't find Izzy.

Clary wandered through the halls aimlessly, walking where her feet led her. She should have remembered that her feet didn't care what she stepped on because she ended up falling onto the ground. A sharp "MEOW!" erupted from behind Clary, sitting up she turned around to see that she had stepped on a fat blue cat.

"I'm sure you're mad at me too, right?" Clary said to the cat, not bothering to think about that she was attempting to have a conversation with a cat. The cat hissed. "I'm going to take that as a yes. Well don't worry; you don't have to kill me. Izzy will do it for you. See I was supposed to meet her here a while ago…and I got lost."

The cat tilted its head to the side, before emitting a soft meow and walking off in the opposite direction. After walking ten feet or so it turned around and looked at Clary meaningfully. When Clary didn't move the cat meowed again, this time sounding annoyed. Clary sighed and followed the cat silently calling herself crazy for following a cat. Clary soon gave up trying to figure out where she was as the cat walked in what seemed like a complex maze. When Clary was loosing complete faith in ever making it out of the institute alive the cat walked into a room. With a sense of apprehension Clary entered the room. It was a kitchen and sitting at the counter was Jace devouring a pudding cup.

"Clary?" He asked looking up startled.

"Hi," Clary managed with a shy smile.

"What are you doing here?"

"Umm…well…Izzy…"

"Izzy?"

"She threatened to kill me if I wasn't here within ten minutes…and then I got lost and the cat—"

"Church?"

"The cats name is Church?" Clary asked shocked before continuing on with her tale. "Anyway I stumbled over Church and then started talking to him" Clary mentally wacked herself, she wanted Jace to think she was normal. Like that was ever going to happen now "and then he lead me here."

"That makes sense, Izzy's been giving him fish in here."

"Could you help me find Izzy, because I kinda don't want to die…" Clary said.

"It'd be my pleasure," Jace said tossing his pudding cup aside and offering his arm to Clary. With a grin she linked arms and he began walking down the hall. He stopped a short ways away and unwound his arm through Clary's before banging on the door and screaming, "IZZY!"

"WHAT DO YOU WANT?" she yelled back from behind the door.

"I have your latest victim," Jace said with a wink towards Clary. The door flew open, "Clary," Izzy said, "You were supposed to be here an hour ago!"

"I got lost," Clary mumbled like a child who had just been told that they have to go in time out.

"Of course you did," Izzy said rolling her eyes and giving Jace a meaningful look.

"She did!" Jace protested.

"Goodbye Jace," Isabelle said shoving Jace away and dragging Clary inside her room. Clary took one glance at the clothes scattered across the room before shouting, "SAVE ME!"

"Ha ha, very funny," Izzy said crossing her arms.

"Sorry?" Clary said with a guilty smile.

"Come on." Izzy grabbed Clary by the shoulders and sat her down on the vanity before yanking Clary's hair out of it's braids.

"Ouch!" Clary whimpered. Izzy ignored her. For the next hour Clary sat in silence as Izzy messed with her hair and applied drastic amounts of make up on her.

"Ready to look?" Izzy asked at last and Clary nodded. With a deep breath she looked in the mirror Izzy handed her preparing herself for the worst. Her hair was down, flowing in soft waves past her shoulders. Izzy had put some sort of orange and red glitter in her hair making it seem even brighter than usual. Her eyelids had some smoky green eye shadow on, bringing out the green in her eyes. Her lips were a faint pink, matching her cheeks.

"I look…beautiful," Clary murmured to herself.

"Damn right you do," Izzy said with a grin, "Jace is going to freak! Come on lets get you dressed." Izzy grabbed Clary once again, this time toward the bed where clothes where piled up.

"Oh, god," Clary muttered under her breath. Izzy pretended she didn't hear.

"This is what you're going to wear." Izzy held up a neon green thing that looked like a shirt to Clary.

"You're kidding me right?" Clary tried. Izzy gave her a look. "Or not."

"Now go get dressed!" Izzy said shoving her toward the bathroom. "You don't want to be late."

"Right." Clary put on the dress but immediately felt self conscious in it. The dress made her look like she had curves but it was short. Short, short. It brushed the top of her thighs. And it was strapless.

"Izzy?" Clary said entering the room. What she didn't count on was that Jace had decided to invade Izzy's room in order to take Clary on there date.

"Clary?" Jace said, his voice slightly shaky.

"Hi, Jace," Clary said in a falsely cheery voice.

"Are—are you ready to go?" He asked.

"Yes," she nodded, for the first time looking at what Jace was wearing. He had on a pair of faded blue jeans and a white button up shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows. Izzy had no doubt planned his outfit out too.

"Wait!" Izzy cried at the last moment as they left the room.

"What?"

"Shoes!" Clary glanced down at her bare feet then at the pair of heels and Izzy's feet.

"I am not wearing those."

"Fine," Izzy sighed before reaching behind her back and pulling out a pair of flats the exact same color as Clary's dress. With a sigh Clary slipped into the shoes before following Jace out into the hall. He smiled at her and she noticed that his front tooth was chipped, but on him that made him look even more perfect.

"You're beautiful," he mummered before leaning down and touching his lips to hers.

O~O~O~O~O
