Jace sat down the couch, and flicked the TV on with the button of the remote. It was a nice day outside, but he'd rather watch TV, since he wanted to ditch Simon's vampire party anyway.
He flicked a few channels until he came to a music channel where they were playing Adam Lambert music, Flyleaf music, and of course, Justin Bieber music. He was up in the nine hundreds area, and flicked a few more channels until he came to ABC America where Glee was playing.
"So THIS is what gets teenagers so excited?" Jace asked himself, watching Jane Lynch yell at Dianna Agron. "Huh. It doesn't seem that great." He watched a few more minutes of it before Isabelle eventually came down and asked him what he was doing inside.
"NO FREAKIN' WAY!" Isabelle shouted. "YOU'RE WATCHING GLEE? JACE HERONDALE! I'm impressed…"
Jace cocked an eyebrow at her. "Do you really need to rub it in? I don't like this show and there's nothing else to watch."
"Liar," Isabelle said, and ran to the kitchen. "I'll get popcorn!" After a few minutes of cackles and pops in the microwave, Isabelle came out of the kitchen with a bowl full of popcorn with movie theater butter. She sat down next to Jace and started watching one of their musical numbers on TV.
"Ooh, this is a great episode!" Isabelle said, looking at the screen and smiling. "I could rent the whole series on Netflix if you want. It's great, except for the constant singing, and drama and everything else like…"
"Isabelle!" Jace groaned. "I don't like this show. I told you, there was nothing on, so I decided to watch this. It was the only good thing I could find to watch besides Two and a Half Men."
"You just said it was good!" Isabelle retorted, and shoved a handful of popcorn in his face as the doorbell rang in the front of the institute. "I wonder who that could be." She got up and came back with Clary behind her a few moments later.
"Clary, you don't have to ring the doorbell," Jace said, smiling up at her. "It's only natural that you basically live here half the time and would just walk right in with the pass code like normal."
"But what fun would that be?" Clary asked. "I was hoping you would answer the doorbell, but-oh my God, you're watching GLEE?"
Jace pointed to Isabelle. "She is. I'm not. I just happened to be sitting next to her when she turned the TV on."
"Again, you're such a liar, Jace!" Isabelle said, shaking her head. "I came down here from my beauty nap while you were down here with your eyes glued to the screen as if you just saw Simon burst into flames! Which I might add, sounds totally like you, and would be devastating for both me AND Clary."
"Simon's a vampire, and not a very good one, so that's likely to happen anyway. And soon, if it's possible he gets drunk and walks into the daylight unaware of what time of the day it is."
"Jace, don't talk about Simon like that," Clary said. "You're lucky Jordan's living with him, and not you. If that were true, then who would be laughing now?"
"Let's just watch," Isabelle said, and Clary and her both snuggled themselves besides Jace. After an hour or so, Alec came through the door with Magnus behind him and sat down next to them.
"God, not more people," Jace said quietly to himself, and casted a glance toward the two of them. "Why are YOU GUYS here?"
"Glee's on," Alec said. "And Magnus didn't like the goats at the petting zoo, so we decided to come home early. Apparently someone is afraid of zoo animals. Or FARM animals."
"They're disgusting pests, Alexander, and I prefer to have my gloves clean that covered in grey fur and whatever else lives upon a goat's furry and gross coat."
"You're such a pacifist," Alec said, rolling his eyes.
"Not really," Isabelle said. "A pacifist is a person who ignores violence and doesn't believe in it. Like a monk or the Silent Brothers. It's not a person who's afraid to get their white leather gloves dirty from a smelly animal at the petting zoo just north of here."
"Whatever," Alec said.
The five of them continued to watch Glee until Jace was left alone to sleep in the living room by himself. He woke up to the credits and a preview of The Secret Life of the American Teenager, and looked around to see he was alone. With being alone, he grabbed the remote...and replayed the whole thing from the beginning.
Isabelle was right-Glee wasn't all that bad.
THAT CONCLUDES PART TWO
