Clary woke up the next morning feeling rested and ready for the day ahead. As she went outside in search of breakfast, she saw Alec sitting in the balcony, with a feast fit for kings in front of him. Sparing a glance around the suite and confirming that no one else was awake yet, Clary decided to go and join Alec.

"Good morning", she said as she made her way to the table "Its truly a beautiful morning."

"That it is", Alec said without even sparing her a look, well atleast he wasn't actively ignoring her. That was a definite improvement.

"Did you order everything they had for breakfast, or..?", Clary asked trying to break the ice between them.

"No, this is complimentary because of Robert.", Alec answered.

Clary vaguely remembered that Robert Lightwood, the patriach of the Lightwood family had quite the fortune. What he did was never clear to her nor was she ever particularly interested in it. But from what she had seen in just two days, he did enjoy some considerable benefits in a lot of places. Clary also registered that Alec had called Robert by his name instead of Dad, or even father. That was certainly odd. Although she was definitely in no position to judge as her own relationship with her father was turbulent to say the least and amounted to just 3 brief meetings in the past 21 years.

"Clary? Clary? Hello?",she was so lost in her thoughts that she barely registered someone was calling her name. She turned to see Isabelle staring at her. It was evident from her eyes that she had just woken up. But apart from that she looked completely flawless, even her hair was perfect. What kind of sorcery did Izzy do, Clary would never understand.

"Sorry, what? ", she finally said.

"I just said that you should eat as much as you can. We are leaving for the Alps today. And will be spending the rest of the time there, we have rented this quaint little cottage at a hillside. It will be awesome.", Izzy told her.

"Oh okay, how are we getting to the Alps?", Clary asked.

This time it was Alec who replied,"We have rented a car. If the roads are good, its barely a 3 hours drive. We should leave by noon atleast."

"Or as soon as our favorite blonde wakes up.", Izzy said laughing.

"Well we could wake him up...", Clary definitely did not like the playful smile Alec got when he said that. She may not have been around the siblings for long, but she too knew that the smile was a sure shot sign that Alec was upto to some mischief.

"Wannabe?", Izzy asked.

"Wannabe.",answered her older brother.

Clary seriously hated being kept in the dark. So she finally asked, "Guys care to explain?"

Izzy just grinned but explained none the less,"Jace absolutely detests the song. You play it and there's a 100% chance he will stop whatever he is doing and will come out to make you stop. It's comical how fast he will appear. So, whenever we need to wake him up we just put the song at the highest volume and we start jumping up and down on his bed. Rather I jump, Alec is too busy singing the song."

Clary was not sure she understood but she did have one question, "Alec sings wannabe?"

"Please, don't go on his whole sullen persona. He is actually too gay to function. If I had to describe him in one sentence it would probably be 'he's not interested in being polite or heterosexual'.", was Izzy's answer.

"Okay. If your professional opinion on me is done, can we go wake him up. We really need to leave if we wanna be settled in the cabin before nightfall.", shit! Clary had forgotten Alec was there.

"Okay lets go.", with that Izzy left the balcony and went back inside with Alec and Clary following her.

Jace's bedroom was pretty much the same as Clary's except his had clothes scattered everywhere. Clary was almost sure she heard Alec mutter something along the lines of sloppy, untidy fucker but maybe she just imagined that. Her attention was drawn to Jace who was sleeping in the middle of the queen sized bed.

Sadly his bottom half was covered by the blankets, but Clary was treated to his well built upper body. She definitely did not want to climb onto the bed and count his abs. Nope, never! His hair was a tousled mess and he looked as gorgeous as ever. Okay so maybe Clary was drooling a bit and if she had a few daydreams about waking up to that face and body for the rest of her life, it was no one's business.

She was snapped out of it by the sound of someone softly clearing their throat. As she blushed, Izzy and Alec just gave her knowing grins. With that Izzy grabbed her hand and Alec started the song on his phone.

As the first beats of the Spice Girls hit came on, Izzy literally dragged Clary to the moddle of the room and started moving her body to the rythmn of the song. Before she knew it, Clary too was very much into it. Without any crowds around and just her friends for company, she felt much better dancing. She didn't realise that the song had ended, until she heard Alec's voice saying, "Cut!" followed by a whistling sound.

She turned around to see Jace sitting up on the bed, looking at her with eyes filled with wonder, amusement and what she could only describe as lust. Which was impossible, wasn't it?

"Damn Fray, first you take off your sweaters and show off that amazing body and now these moves. Where were you in high school?", Jace asked in a deep voice which was still heavy with sleep.

Okay, Clary was brave enough to admit that the voice did things to her. Bad, bad things. "I was always right there, but you were the one not paying attention.", Crap, why did she say that?

"Yeah well, its a proven fact that I am a complete idiot. But belive me, you have my attention now", and with that Jace slid off the bed and swaggered to the bathroom.

Clary would have probably stood there gawking at his oh so hot ass and his insinuation that there is a chance of something happening between them, if she hadn't heard Izzy scream from outside. "No, Alec you can't put that video online. We look horrible in it."

"If I was you I would definitely go and help Izzy, you never know what Alec is capable of", Jace said poking his head out of the bathroom for a brief moment.

Shaking her head at the strangeness of the situation she now found herself in, Clary went away to try and keep the eldest Lightwood sibling from posting the video of her dancing dressed in sweatpants and a Tshirt 4 sizes too big. All in all it was a pretty good start to the trip.
