Hey guys!

I know, I haven't updated in what feels like years. So, school started and I have been getting a bunch of homework. I swear, teachers have it out for us. And, I am prone to getting migraines, so I have been pretty much getting them everyday. I really am sorry about not updating. Also, I am going to be having my confirmation, so don't be expecting an update in the next 2 weeks, 3 at the most. I update whenever I have free time, or if inspiration hits me, I don't have a schedule, which I why I don't update very often.

Anyway, now that I'm done ranting, on to the story!

Disclaimer: I don't own the Mortal Instruments, Cassie Clare does.

Clary POV:

" Are we there yet?"

" For the last time, no!"

" But I have to pee!"

" Then you should have gone when we stopped at Wawa 15 minutes ago!"

" But I didn't have to go then!"

" By the angel it's like arguing with a two year old!"

" Can we stop at a gas station real quick?" I asked, about ready to burst.

" Ugh," Alec mumbled, "fine."

I leaned back in my sat and crossed my legs. I swear, if we don't get there in the next five minutes, we were gonna have a problem. A big problem.

" How much longer?" I complained.

" I swear, you have the bladder of a squirrel." Simon said.

" I told you not to drink that large slushi." Jace said putting his arm around my shoulder.

" Oh, now you're turning on me too?" I turned towards him and raised my eyebrows, since I couldn't raise one. He held up his hands as a surrender and settled back in the seat.

" Alright, this is the last stop before we get there, so get what you need and be back here in ten minutes." I threw open the door, crawled across Jace's lap, almost kneeing him in a place where the sun doesn't shine, and bolted towards the Wawa.

After finishing my business, I headed straight towards the candy isle. I grabbed a king size pack of Twizzler's, some Sour Patch kids, and Gatorade before paying and heading back to the car. Everybody was already there, except for Alec, since he was filling the car up with gas. I snuggled up against Jace and dug into the twizzler's.

Jace reached over and tried to grab one but I smacked his hand away.

" Stay away from my candy."

" Seriously, you won't even share with your amazing boyfriend that you love so much?" He asked, giving me the puppy dog look.

" Yup, that's exactly what I'm saying." I smirked before adding, " Plus, you don't need it." He turned and raised an eyebrow at me.

" Are you saying I'm fat?" I started laughing and he must have taken this as a yes because in one quick move his hands were on my stomach and he was tickling me to death.

" ah Jace! Stop!...I...c-can't...breathe!"

" Are you gonna apologize?" He asked smiling as I struggled beneath him.

" Ok ok! I'm...sorry." He let go and moved back to where he was as I tried to get air back into my lungs. Once I could finally breathe again I glared at him. " I hate you."

He smirked and pulled me towards him, " No you don't. You love me."

I rolled my eyes. " And you're lucky that I do, because if anyone else had done that, I would've castrated them with a rusty fork." I smiled sweetly at him and looked out the window. This was going to be a long ride.

*30 Minutes Later*

" Finally!" Izzy squealed as she jumped out of the van and landed on the dirt in stilettos. How she doesn't break her ankle will always amaze me. Jace got out before me and held out a hand to help me down.

" I can get down myself." I gripped the side of the door and landed heavily on my left ankle. I let out a little squeak when I landed causing the smirk on Jace's face to disappear and concern lace his gaze.

" Are you okay?" He wrapped an arm around my waist as I limped a little on my ankle.

I heard a strangled laugh and turned to see Simon holding back a laugh, " Leave it to Clary to hurt herself right when we get to the camping site." I glared at him and headed towards where Izzy. Alec, and Magnus were, still slightly limping.

" So, what do we do first?"

" Hike through the woods 'till we get to a good place to set up camp." Alec answered.

I sighed, "Sorry, but I don't do any physical activity before noon." Simon rolled his eyes.

" Hiking?! I totally need to change my outfit!"

" Yeah, me too." I added.

" Then go change in the van. I'll make sure no one looks."

" Yeah, like I believe that. You'll probably sneak peeks through the window to look at Clary."

" Izzy!' I huffed. Jace, was of course, smirking.

" You know it." He winked as I smacked him on the shoulder.

" Perv," I said as I headed to the van, Izzy trailing behind me. I slid open the door and grabbed my clothes out of the back before taking a blanket and tying it up so it covered the window. Izzy did the same and started changing. We quickly finished before opening the doors and heading to where everybody had the supplies.

(Warning: If you don't like when I describe what they're wearing, skip this part) I was wearing gray Nike shorts, a white crop top with a paint splattered effect on it that says " Just Do It", black and white Nike's and I pulled my hair up in a tight ponytail and a headband. Izzy was wearing an outfit similar to mine with purple, green, and yellow shorts with the paint splatter effect, a black short sleeve top with "Nike" on it in the same colors, black and white Nike's, then she put her hair in a French braid.

"I enjoyed watching you shortie." Jace said as we approached the group. I scoffed.

" Please, you don't have the guts to do that." Alec cleared his throat.

" Alright everyone. Grab something and look for a nice place to set up camp." I grabbed my bag and a tent kit and walked with Jace, who of course grabbed several of the heaviest supplies.

We walked a little bit behind the group. " By the way, the blanket didn't cover all the windows." I blushed and hit his shoulder.

" You didn't see anything."

" Oh yeah," he leaned in until his lips were hovering over my ear, " then how do I know that you're wearing red lace undergarments." he pulled back and started walking faster, leaving me standing there blushing with my mouth hanging open.

" You asshat!"

This was more of a filler, because, as I have stated in previous chapters, the last couple chapters are going to be light and fluffy.

I really hope that you guys liked it and I am really sorry about not updating. And I would really appreciate it if you guys would let me know what you want in the next couple chapters, because they are going to be the last ones.

Review!

Bye Bye Lovelies!
