Hi guys! It's Annie. I really need your guys' suggestions in reviews as to what you want to happen, because I am finding I am just making everything up as I go along through each chapter. Anyone who gives me a good suggestion gets a preview of the next chapter! Sound good? Thanks guys. DISCLAIMER: I do not own the TMI gang, Cassandra Clare does.

Clary's POV

I dance and kill demons all night, but my heart isn't into it. Izzy and Alexa keep asking what the matter is, but I have no answer. The new information about Brad is bugging me, always in the side of my head, whether I want to think about it or not. Finally, my friends drag me outside.

"What the hell is going on?!" Alexa demands. I sigh.

"Nothing."

"Cut the crap and tell us." Izzy says in a similar tone.

"Ugh, fine. But only Izzy."

"What? Why won't you tell me?" Alexa looks hurt.

"Because, it's about Brad." I tell her, biting my lip.

"That asshole? What did he do to you?! Trust me, our being related does not keep me from severely hurting him." I raise my eyebrows, but she seems sincere.

"Alright. Brad is an ifit with magic and I suspect he isn't actually related to you." I blurt.

"Pardon?" Izzy asks. I explain the whole story to them, of me having the dreams, and how Magnus answered my interrogation. When I finish, they look at me contemplatively. "And you believe him? And your dream?" Iz questions.

"Yes. No. Maybe? I'm not sure. But it kinda makes sense. And lately, I've been finding holes in my memories. I feel like I know what happened, and it's no big deal, but the memories seem fake. Like I don't remember what happened, and someone planted false memories in my head. So maybe. Also, I've been waking up kinda sore. Like I do when a bruise was healed by an iratze, but the muscle is still kind of sore. You know?" They nod slowly.

"And if this is all true, I know who he is. I remember hearing a story of a warlock who had kids with one of the Nephilim. The kid was able to bear and apply runes, and had the ability to take away memories and superimpose others in the hole that was created by removing the memory, but no other warlock powers. And if Brad is the kid... " I hesitate. "We're screwed."

A look of recognition is dawning upon Alexa's face, but Izzy just shrugs.

"I'll have to take your word for it. I never heard of that story." she says. "But I believe you. For now, though, why don't we get the gang to go back to the Institute and play some party games?" I tilt my head.

"Like what?"

Izzy smile mischievously. "Like Spin the Bottle and Truth or Dare." I smile, loving the idea.

"Sounds good. Let's go." We get everyone together, going home and getting everyone in my room. I already have pillows and blankets on the floor, and everyone makes themselves comfortable. I sit on my bed, but Izzy beckons me down. I plop down in the empty space between Brad and Simon. The pillows are arranged in a circle, and Alec asks why.

"Because, we are playing a game of Spin the Bottle!" Izzy squeals. Magnus seems excited too. He waves his hand, and an empty Coca-Cola bottle appears in the middle. "I'm going first!" Izzy declares. She spins the bottle, and it lands on Alexa. Shrugging, she leans in and presses a quick peck on her lips. Alexa doesn't have time to react. Deciding to be a good sport, she grins and spins. When it lands, she looks very disappointed, like she is dreading what is happening. It has landed on Jace.

Looking at Izzy, she asks, "Do I have to kiss him?" Beaming at how her game is turning out, Iz shakes her head.

"But if you don't, you have to take off an article of clothing. Shoes and socks count as one, and accesories count as an article of clothing each." Alexa immediately takes off her heels. "Jace's spin!"

He spins the bottle, and when it stops, it is pointing at me. "Well, I don't particularly feel like undressing right now, so…" I lean in and press a light kiss on his soft lips. He kisses me back, but I pull away before I can lose control. Oh, how I missed that. My brain knows I'm still in love with Jace, even if I don't want to admit to myself. I spin the bottle, and it lands on Jace. "Okay, Magnus, did you rig this thing?" I joke, kicking off my shoes. Jace spins, and it lands on Brad. I die laughing, falling over myself.

"You know what, Magnus? If you did rig this I would be okay with it." I choke out. He is laughing too. Suddenly he sits up, concentrating fiercely. I see that Jace is attempting to remove his shoes, but they seem stuck to his feet. The same happens with his shirt and pants, and all of Brad's clothes too. "I see what you're doing here, and I love it." I whisper to the sparkly warlock.

"Well!" Izzy announces. "If neither of you can seem to take off your clothes, you have to kiss!" I die laughing. Neither boy seems particularly eager to move, so Magnus levitates them and brings them together in midair. Finally, their lips touch, and in that moment, Magnus uses his magic to seal their lips together. When they try to pull away, it doesn't work. I get a great idea, and whisper it to Magnus. He nods, fully focused. I jump up and run to my bedside table, where my phone is charging. I grab it, unplugging it, and opening the camera app. Circling them, I get several good photos. I text them to all of my contacts, which isn't too many, all Shadowhunters. Once the last text sends, I plug my phone back in, secure in the knowledge that they will never be deleted. When I sit down again, Magnus lets them go, and they both immediately turn to the side, spitting.

"I think that's all of Spin the Bottle we need to play." Brad declares, and for once Jace agrees.

"Okay, but we are going to start playing Truth or Dare now. Same rules, if you don't want to do it, you remove a piece of clothing." Alexa tells them in a businesslike tone.

After a bunch of groaning, the game starts. Truths and Dares fly throughout the room, and soon everyone has lost a few pieces of clothing.

Amount of clothing everyone still has on:

Izzy-dress, bra, panties, one ring, whip bracelet

Jace-pants, boxers

Alec-pants, boxers

Magnus-shirt, pants, boxers

Alexa-dress, bra, panties, Spandex

Brad-pants, boxers

Simon-pants, boxers

Clary-dress, bra, panties

The game is still going strong at midnight. "Jace, I dare you… to kiss a duck on the beak!" Magnus says, beaming. Without a word, he strips off his pants, leaving him in just boxers. Noticing my stare, he wiggles his eyebrows.

"Like what you see?" I blush.

"No, actually, I was wondering if you are really that scared of ducks." I bluff. He looks slightly embarrassed, nodding. He dares Izzy to kiss Alec, which she does with no inhibitions. Then she turns to me.

"Truth or dare, Clary?" she asks, eyes sparkling.

"Hm… dare." I answer. She seems happy with that answer, daring me immediately.

"I dare you to play Seven Minutes in Heaven with Jace!" Iz squeals.

"No chance!" I exclaim, then realize what my other option is. Sighing with resignation, I pull off my dress, tossing it on my bed to be hung up later. Jace's hungry eyes drink in my body like someone who has been starved all their life and is presented with a feast. I tilt my head, eyes questioning. In that moment, I know what is best for me right now. I have been starving myself too.

I stand abruptly, breaking his glance. "Brad, can I talk to you?" He lets me draw him into the hallway.

"What's going on?" he asks. I see kindness in his eyes, but the sound of the switch whipping my body strengthens my resolve.

"I think we should break up." I blurt.

"Why?" he says, sounding upset, but it sounds distinctly fake. I grit my teeth, keeping myself from telling him all that I know about his parentage and who he is.

"Because I don't feel anything. We don't fit, Brad. I'm sorry, but we are done." I say instead.

I know this chapter is kinda short, sorry. I'm posting earlier than usual though! So, what do you think? Review please. Shout out to Norma Cenva 626, she had a really sweet review and I love getting that kind of feedback. See you guys later!
