~A Sister's Reminder~

My first Sizzy fic! Simon and Izzy talk about something the Lightwood siblings did together as kids.

DISCLAIMER: I don't own TMI or the Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise. I just own this crazy idea of the Lightwood siblings playing the game with Max, and possibly relearning the rules to remember him.

Note: I really need to come up with better titles...


"Iz are you sure you wanna go in here?" Simon Lewis asked his girlfriend as they stood outside a bedroom door, his brown eyes showing concern for the beautiful girl who's hand he was holding. Isabelle Lightwood looked over at him, her dark eyes staring into his with sadness and determination.

"Come on." She told him as she grabbed hold of the door. Simon just nodded and held her hand as they opened the door together. Inside was a bedroom that looked like a mess and quite a bit of dust had gathered on the furniture, like it hadn't been used in years. Isabelle sighed.

"Just as he left it…by the Angel it's been a while…" She breathed. Simon frowned as she pulled him through the door and closed it. She sat down on the bed, dust making a little cloud when she sat down. Simon looked around before his eyes fell on a picture frame. He could tell underneath the dust that it was a picture of a little boy with the Lightwood's black hair and glasses covering his gray eyes. On his arm was a strange device and what looked like playing cards in his hands.

"I didn't know Max played the game. He sounded like a really good kid to be around…" Simon mused. Isabelle smiled.

"You met him before you know. You and Clary got along well with him." She explained. Simon couldn't help but smile. He dusted off the frame and he recognized the device on his arm.

"He had a Duel Disk? I had wanted one when I was a kid!" He exclaimed. Isabelle smiled and reached under the bed and pulled out what looked like a strange arm band, a circle poking out of it with different buttons along the bottom and two panels that looked like strange wings. She smiled as she strapped it to her arm while staring at it with a fond smile on her face.

"This probably looks strange doesn't it?" She asked. Simon's eyebrow raised in confusion. She smiled at his confused expression.

"Me, a shadowhunter, with something like this." She explained simply. Simon smiled and brushed a bit of her black hair aside.

"No it doesn't. It looks like a beautiful woman who remembers some awesome memories with her little brother. And you remind me of Mai from the show, but with black hair. You're fierce, badass and gorgeous, but also a kind and amazing person inside." He replied. Isabelle smiled and leaned against him, resting her head on his chest.

"Max said the same thing…that I reminded him of her…I actually played the game with him. Alec and I both did." She replied. His eyebrows went up in surprise.

"Didn't expect to hear that. Neither of you don't seem like you'd enjoy playing a children's card game." He replied. She giggled.

"He started playing with us a little after he told me he was gay. He told me once that he felt better around people that accepted him. Max I don't think he ever told, but a part of me thought he knew. Don't know how, he must've just figured it out like Clary did…but anyway, Max had convinced me and Alec to get him this, and then convinced us to get one for ourselves. Mine is still in my room somewhere, though I have no clue if Alec still has his…" She rambled. Simon smiled. Hearing the stories of his girlfriend's childhood were wonderful, and in his opinion, he found it so brilliant for this beautiful woman to talk about these stories, and about her little brother.

"Did Jace ever play?" He asked. She shook her head.

"Jace didn't want to play with us really. It was just the three of us. Max was a little upset about it, but Alec and I had said it could be our thing. Just the three of us…" She replied.

"Do you two still play?" He asked. Izzy shook her head again.

"We haven't touched our decks or disks since Max died. And I'm not sure if I'd want to…" She mumbled. Simon frowned.

"Izzy I think you should try and play again. You have wonderful memories with the game and plus you'd be remembering Max like this too. Care-free, happy, and playing a game that brought the three of you together. I think its badass and really just a good way to remember your brother." He encouraged. Isabelle thought about it for a minute.

"Who would I play against? I don't even know if Alec even has his old deck anymore…" She asked. The former vampire grinned.

"Me of course. I'd teach you the rules and game mechanics, and your deck could be even stronger than the last!" He exclaimed going into what typically everyone called "mundane nerd mode". She laughed.

"And who knows, Alec may convince Magnus to play and we could have a tag battle." He added as Izzy covered her mouth with her hand to muffle her laughter because she was laughing so hard.

"By the Angel the idea is hilarious! I'm sorry, but Magnus with one of these? That's just both hilarious and kinda weird…but still hilarious." She replied motioning to the duel disk on her arm, the laughter in her voice more prominent than anything. The two continued to share different ideas as they sat in Max's room, the duel disk still on Isabelle's arm. The two soon fell asleep cuddled together fully clothed on the bed, Isabelle's dreams filled with childhood memories and silly but fun ideas for the future…


I should probably stick to Malec fanfiction (and even that I can barely write)…but hey I love my adorable (and fairly sad) attempt at Sizzy!

So needs a better title. But here's my failure attempt at Sizzy. Hope everyone like it!
