Enjoy, readers, writers, and fanfic lovers! I have a deal. Whoever follows, favourites, or reviews my other fanfiction, "In the Shadows", from now until I post chapter 37, will get a shoutout (sorry, all of you who don't have accounts, I can't really give you a shoutout, even if you review. But still! I Would appreciate it so much if you did!) I will shoutout in this fanfic, not the other one, and thank you to everyone who will try out my fanfic. Please let me know if you do read it, and give me feedback! Also, since I almost hit 100 reviews, 100 follows, and 70 favourites, I'm going to make this an extra special chapter. Instead of just Clary POV, and the occasional Jace POV, I'm going to make an Aline POV, and and an Isabelle POV. I'm sorry for the long update...but I'm SO busy! And I have had so much writer's block since the last time I posted my chapter. I spent almost every moment that I am free thinking about the story line for his chapter. So please tell me what you think, now that I have it written and posted! My friend gave me a starting point (taking place at the fro-yo shop. Yep, she told me to start there...and I wrote it from there. So thank her for the update! I would've posted it late, if not.)

So, enjoy this special chapter!

ALINE POV

"ALINE PENHALLOW! I've gotten the credit card bill for this month. And you have spent just way too much! One thousand dollars on a purse, two thousand worth of shoes, one thousand and five hundred in a designer dress...and more! That's way past what I spend, including the food, and the electric and water bills!" My mother, Jia, yelled.

"Sorry, mom. Fine, I'll cut down. Um...I'll spend a thousand less?" I replied, twirling a lock of my dyed blonde hair around my finger.

"No, Aline. I mean you need to get a job. I will no longer be giving you money. Every cent you pay will be from you. I'll buy you the basics at the most. As in basic, non-expensive clothing, and food. Everything else...that's on you. And you start by getting a job. I'll give you twenty dollars to start with. But all the other money you have THAT I GAVE YOU, I'll take back. And I'll take this!" She plucked the credit card right out of my hand.

"Mom! C'mon! You can't do that!"

"Oh really? What am I doing now?" Mom walked right out of the room.

"No!" I wailed. I'd better find a job now. I decided on the fro-yo shop, because they gave free fro-yo to the employees.

CLARY POV

"Let's go to that fro-yo place again! It's so good. Plus, they still have that unlimited toppings deal!" I suggested. Jace nodded. Then, I saw Isabelle walk up to us. "Whatcha talking about?" She asked.

"Oh. We wanted to go to the fro-yo store that opened up a couple weeks ago." I replied.

"Cool. Could we tag along?" Isabelle asked.

"Who's 'we'?" Jace asked. "Simon." I replied. "And of course you can come with. On...Saturday. How about that?" I asked. We all agreed on that day.

JACE POV

Clary, Isabelle, Simon, and I walked into the fro-yo shop, and heard the bells on the door ring, as we came in. "Welcome to With a Cherry on Top! There are a few new workers that begin today, so please don't mind them, and may I take your order?" The woman behind the counter exclaimed.

"I'll have a minty-swirl." I shrugged.

"Same." Clary seconded.

"Strawberry. And chocolate." Isabelle ordered for both her and Simon.

"Perfect! May I have you wait over there, in that booth, while I prepare it?" We walked over to the booth, and sat down. "Simon and I want to go to that cafe across the street for some iced teas, first. We'll be right back in fifteen minutes." Isabelle said. Clary smiled, and Simon and Izzy left.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw someone with familiar dyed blonde hair, and glittery pink nail polish. Aline. "Jace. Jace!" Clary swatted my arm. "I know. It's Aline." I said.

"Why in the world is Aline working? Isn't she, like, rich or something?" Clary exclaimed.

Then, Aline walked up to us holding a tray with our frozen yogurt, not even looking up at us. When she finally did glance up, she almost dropped the tray. "Omg. No way. No way. I can't believe you are seeing me work here. In this disgusting, ugly outfit. Ugh!"

"Whoa, Aline. What-" I began.

"None of your business!" Snapped Aline. The store manager passed by us, and Aline's mood totally changed. "Enjoy your fro-yo! Have a wonderful—" she paused as the manager left. "Okay. Let's cut to the point. You say nothing about this. Or else I promise, you will be shunned, all across the country. Okay, maybe just the school. But still, enjoy the rest of your academic lives being shunned."

"At least I have an academic life." Clary shot back.

"As much as I'd love to insult you even more, I can't. Unless I want to get fired, and need to get another horrid job." Aline sighed. Clary smirked.

ISABELLE POV

I felt the cold, familiar, metal beneath my fingers as I pushed open the cafe door. Simon and I stood in line, deciding what to order. He left for the bathroom, so I was left alone to wait, but little did I know, that there was a person, staring at me. "Excuse me? Do I know you?" I asked, putting my hand in my hip.

"No. But I want to ask you out. Friday. Movie. Or do you prefer a romantic dinner?" The person asked, walking up to me. I held my hand out, gesturing for him to take not one more step closer. "Do. Not. Get. Any. Closer." I said, coldly.

"Whoa. Feisty one, I see." He said.

"I already have plans."

"With that nerd you were with? Huh. I didn't think you'd have bad taste, for such a pretty girl like you."

"Simon is not a nerd. Now get out of my face or else. Did I mention who my dad is?"

"Oh, who, the prince of Atlantis?" He said, sarcastically.

"No, but he is a lawyer. And he has the moves of a cop. So back off." I said. He didn't bother try to bother me after that.

CLARY POV

I watched Aline scurry around the shop, serving and taking orders. Though she messed up, a lot, for ten minutes. She messed up the flavours strawberry with blueberry, and gummy cola bears instead of jelly beans. Plus much more than I care to say.

The floor had a "Caution, wet floor" sign. Aline, however, was so busy with keeping up with the orders, that she didn't see it. She tripped over the sign, in fact, and the huge tray she was holding, got smashed into her face. All of her hair was covered in fro-yo, and her make-up covered face, was layered with it, too. To make it only more humiliating, there was a cherry, placed right on the top of her head. I tried to hide my laughing, but I couldn't hold it in. Right then, Isabelle came back, with a cup of coffee. I could tell that she tried to hold in a laughing fit, like me. "You are FIRED, Aline. You hear me? FIRED. I do not tolerate clumsiness in this store. Now get out. You've wasted enough of my time." The store owner said. Aline rushed to the door, looking furious. "You do NOT want to fire me. You don't understand the favour I'm doing for you. Getting you publicity. With my beautifulness."

"I think I do understand. Understand that you are a big pain." The owner walked away. Aline threw her costume on the floor, then stomped on it. She glared at me, and scowled.

Enjoy, everyone! Again, sorry for the long update. Well, I felt like it was a long time, due to homework. And writer's block. The only up side, was reading Beautiful Creatures, by Kami Garcia, and Margaret Stohl! (I know I know. I should've read it earlier. But...hey, regardless, it's still super good! Anyone agree?)
