Hey guys! Sorry it took so long, we've been SO busy. I've had so much homework and my english teacher is making us write a HUGE research paper. Ughh! Well I hope you like it! Do tell us if you have any requests, or else we may run short of material. Thinking of doing a TMI/PJO crossover, don't get your hopes up though. Thanks again! PLEASE R&R! This is for WildHeart22!

MORTAL INSTRUMENTS GO PARTYING!

"So explain to me again why we're going to this party?" Clary asked, attempting to put on the dress she'd found for the party. Jace shook his head while buttoning up his black shirt. Clary's eyes couldn't help but catch on him.

"I dunno, Alec said it'd be fun. Plus he promised Taki's and pancakes." Jace said. Clary flopped back on Jace's bed wishing they could stay there. Jace reached for her hand and pulled her up. "Come on, we better go."

~AT MAGNUS'S PLACE~

"Yes hello darling! So good to see you!" Magnus shouted at someone, a wide smile on his face. Alec walked up to him, interlocking their arms, he held a glass of blue bubbly liquid in one hand and a mini sausage in the other. Magnus tilted his head closer to Alec slightly. "I don't actually remember who that is but I'm fairly sure she's important. Just roll with it dear and before the morning is over they will all have gone." Magnus mumbled. Alec just cracked a grin as he sipped on his assumed-alcohol.

"Why do you have these parties anyways?" Alec replied.

"I don't know. I think I'm legally obligated as High Warlock of Brooklyn. Maybe not, I don't know. I started them a long time ago and now they won't go away." Alec shrugged, good enough for him. "Is Jace and Clary coming? I need some comic relief and somehow they always manage." Magnus said, swiping Alec's flute of the blue drink and sipping on it. Alec restrained a smirk.

The door flung open and in strutted Simon, a goofy grin on his face. Izzy had a hand over her brow as she rushed past Simon.

"Hello fellow party-goers! The Simon has arrived! Let the nighttime fun BEGIN!" He shouted. Izzy ran over to the counter and snatched a glass of something, praying it was alcohol of some form. Magnus looked over.

"Careful! The green one is laced with roofies! The upstate-vampires insist on it!" He called over to his boyfriend's sister. Izzy spewed out what was in her mouth and grabbed another one, downing it.

The door was shut by an elegantly dressed Clary and Jace. Magnus smiled.

"I see you read the invitation, dance parties are all the rage right now." Magnus said. Alec just grinned at Clary and Jace.

"I demand to inspect these 'pancakes', are they in the shape of runes? Only the best ones are in the shape of runes!" Jace cried and rushed to the food table. Clary rolled her eyes and then looked around.

"Is that ketchup in Chairman Meow's bowl?" Clary asked with a perplexed look on her face.

"Don't ask questions, he likes it." Alec replied quickly. Clary just grinned. Simon walked over, a cookie in hand.

"Hello comrades." He said cordially. Clary sighed with a smiled on her face. "Did you know that one of Raphael's buddies was bitten when communism took China? Raphael sucks by the way, sends over his right-hand man to sweet-talk me into coming back."

"Don't joke about that, I was visiting China when all that started." Magnus snapped.

"Ahh, yes. I get your whole Chairman Meow thing. Very funny." Simon said, jabbing a finger toward Magnus. Magnus growled.

"Alec darling, is it against the Accords to kill a Downworlder if a Warlock does it." He muttered. Simon whimpered and slinked off to Izzy. Magnus grinned evilly as Simon mumbled frightened words to Izzy. Alec just rolled his eyes and continued sipping on the drink, having taken it back from Magnus. "You look ravishing Clary dear." Magnus said, as if having remembered that she was standing there. Clary blushed.

"I better go corral Jace, before he consumes all your refreshments." She told Magnus. He waved his hand casually.

"Meh, I've got plenty." He replied. Clary shrugged and looked around.

"Awfully big party." She mumbled. Alec looked around, as if just noticing this.

"I guess. Magnus does like to go big or go home." Magnus started to grin wryly.

"You would know." Clary slinked off to Jace, who was picking through the pancakes.

"He's a freaking Warlock. You'd think he'd have some rune pancakes." Jace sighed, as Clary wrapped an arm around his waist.

"Is that the only reason you came? For pancakes?" Jace shook his head.

"Nah, but hey! He did come through on the Taki's!" He shouted, surging forward.

"Jace, come on. At least dance with me." Clary said. Jace straightened his back and looked at her. She smiled as he intertwined his fingers with hers and slid an arm around her waist to dance. She put a hand on his shoulder and suddenly Magnus was snapping his fingers.

"I almost forgot! They-" At this Magnus pointed a finger at Jace and Clary dancing. "-reminded me, this is a DANCE PARTY!" Magnus shouted and clapped his hands twice. Alec grinned and swung Magnus into the middle of the crowd, a grin on his face as they took up a dancing position and started to waltz to the music that had started up. Magnus looked over at Simon and Izzy who were falling in next to an odd vampire couple.

"No, no, no! To dance here I expect classy!" He roared and snapped his fingers, suddenly Simon was suited up in a Victorian London style tuxedo.

Jace and Clary swung through the crowd, dancing fast to the speed of the music.

"Glad we came?" He asked her. She grinned.

"Completely." She replied. He smiled at her, remembering when he first met her. She, incidentally, was thinking about their first real kiss after the battle in Alicante. The music changed to a slightly more dancy, jazzy tune. Suddenly Magnus was smiling widely. Alec looked at him.

"What?"

"It's the Charleston, I remember learning this with Woolsey." Magnus replied.

"Woolsey? Woolsey Scott? The werewolf? When did you have time to learn the Charleston Swing?" Alec asked.

"I was bored, it was a Sunday and Tessa and Will had come to visit."
"I thought Woolsey lived in England?" Alec asked, flabbergasted.

"Holidays, holidays my dear. Now just follow my lead." Magnus said excitedly. Suddenly Magnus had a tight grip on Alec's back and they were dancing wildly. Alec turned bright red.

"I'm not a flapper girl Mag!" He shouted. Magnus shook his head.

"Neither am I! This does really bring back memories. Will and Tessa really knew how to dance it though!" Magnus replied. Alec sighed, shrugged and went with it, swinging around the clearing that had been made by the party-goers. Jace laughed as Magnus flipped Alec over his shoulder. There was a short yelp and then "Thank the Angel for agility lessons!" Everyone laughed. Jace grabbed Clary's hand.

"Come on! We can try it!" He shouted. Clary shook her head wildly as Jace dragged her out.

"No Jace no!" She cried. The effect was wasted though as she was laughing with him.

"Oh come on Clary! It's not that hard! If I can do it you can too!" Alec shouted at her as they reeled past. Jace grabbed her other hand.

"I'll help!" Magnus shouted, snapping his fingers and then flipping Alec again. Suddenly Jace and Clary knew exactly what to do.

"Ready?" He asked. She nodded. Izzy and Simon were laughing, Simon grinning crazily. More people started to join in, a couple seasoned looking vampires seemed to have the technique down.

"Kinda wish my mom was here!" Clary shouted over the music and laughter.

"What for?" Jace shouted back.

"She always wanted to learn the Charleston!" Jace smiled and kissed her.

~BEFORE THE MORNING WAS OVER~

"See. I told you." Magnus sighed, plopping down on the couch.

"You told me what?" Alec replied.

"That they'd all be gone before the morning was over. Look." Magnus said pointing to a clock. 7:58. Alec smiled.

"Where did you actually learn the Charleston?"

"I told you, with Woolsey. It was 1923, May third. Tessa and Will were visiting and Woolsey was in the neighborhood recruiting for the Praetor Lupus." Magnus said, leaning back with an arm behind Alec's neck. "Granted Woolsey was old but he did have some potions up his sleeve. Now Tessa and Will, there was a couple that could dance. She was always very modest about her dancing. Always claimed two left feet or something. Somehow Will always got her on the floor though. They're Jace's great-great-great grandparents, I don't remember how many greats are in there. I think that's where he got his raw natural talent. Will was feisty, smart, funny and was pretty fantastic with weapons." Magnus said. Alec looked off to the wall, glimpsing Magnus's hand waving around aimlessly.

"You talk about Will as if you're in love with him." Alec mumbled, jealous.

"No. No, I may have wished it at some point in time, but it's like those weird one-way crushes that you regret later in life. Actually that's what it was. I was pretty embarrassed about it a few months later actually. But see, I have you and that's all I'll ever need." Magnus replied. Alec smiled and curled up closer to Magnus. "I remember your great-whatever grandfather. He was an absolute ass until Will and he actually got to know each other. And then of course he married Will's sister Cecily. And then there was Gideon, his brother, and Sophie. I genuinely liked them from the beginning." Magus said.

"Are you drunk Magnus?" Alec asked tiredly.

"Most likely, I don't start reciting stuff like this unless I'm really out of it." He said. Alec smiled, and they slowly drifted off into sleep.

~WHAT EVER THE HELL TIME CLACE WOKE UP AT~

Jace rolled off the bed and onto the floor with and 'umph'. Clary just shooed him off tiredly and rolled over. Jace crawled forward and rested his arms and head on the edge of the bed.

"Clary." He grumbled. "Clary. It's morning." Clary rolled. Over again and looked at Jace groggily.

"So? Who said that we can't sleep in?" She snapped. He grinned tiredly.

"The clock. It's almost eleven." He yawned. She shot forward, suddenly very awake.

"Mom is going to be pissed!" She cried. "I told her I'd come home last night!" Jace shook his head.

"It's fine, I called her last night when we got home. She knows you're here." He said leaning forward to kiss her.

...

"You're the best."

"I know."
