Hey guys, sorry this one took longer than expected. Our next two will be an Alec fic and a Jem and Will brOTP fic. (Finally!) Thank you thank you thank you again and R&R! Tell people to read us too!

MORTAL INSTRUMENTS PLAYS MARIO!

*Note: I decided to move this one fairly far forward. (Yes I do know that Malec is no longer but judging by the spoilers and spoiler art it seems Magnus and Alec do recover.)

"No! NO! NO!" Jace shouted, flinging the remote onto the floor.

"By the Angel Jace! I thought you were good at fighting?" Simon growled.

"I am! But when I have to work with you I am completely thrown off my game!" Jace shouted back. Clary stepped into the room.

"What is up in here? I can hear you shouting in Magnus's room." She said. Simon shook his head.

"He sucks at video games that's all." Simon sighed.

"Ugh, Clary, he's so annoying! Wait, what were you doing in Magnus's room?" Jace snapped.

"I was helping him with some decorating if you must know. Now get along, you two are like children!" Clary sighed and turned around, heading back to Magnus's room. Simon looked over at Jace.

"For Clary?" He whispered. Jace nodded.

"Fear me Bowser for you hath stolen a digital version of my lady friend." Jace said menacingly, picking up his remote.

Simon led them back into the castle and they started the level. Immediately they were off, leaping and up stone steps and whacking skele-turtles on the head. They reached a floor with several layers of small overhangs with skele-turtles.

"Here, here, we need to super-jump at the same time, it will kill the skeles." Simon instructed.

"Don't tell me what to do! Follow my lead!" Jace snapped. Simon groaned and followed Jace/Luigi (Having insisted on being the taller one) up the overhangs and finally making it up to safety. Simon, having 'bubbled', popped himself and glared at Jace.

"Next time just do the super-jump!" He growled. Jace rolled his eyes. "Come on, we just gotta get up these conveyor belts to the door." Simon finally said. Jace just stared on at the TV and made a run for the conveyor belts dropping huge blocks. Simon sighed as Jace barreled on.

"Bubble if you need but you're just there for safety." Jace mumbled as he leapt over a block.

"Hold on, wait. If Clary was actually captured I feel like this vamp over here could get the job done." Simon said, eyes fixed on the screen. Jace shook his head.

"Look Daylighter, first off Clary wouldn't need help getting un-captured and second off I have had countless years of valuable Shadowhunter training with advanced weaponry and would be much more capable of saving her than you." Jace retorted. Simon scoffed.

"Says the boy that easily got stabbed with a massive Angel sword." Jace thinned his lips.

"Say that again bat-boy." Simon rolled his eyes.

"Jace! Jace! Watch out for the-" Suddenly the screen blared "Oh-a no!" Simon sighed angrily. "I told you to watch out for the block! That's the third time this round!" Suddenly Clary had reappeared in the doorway. She cleared her throat quietly. Simon gave her an annoyed look and Jace was gritting his teeth.

"That's it I'm cutting you off. Jace come on, we're already late for training back at the Institute, Maryse will be expecting us back." She said. Simon's eyes suddenly grew sad and he gave her a puppy dog look.

"You're leaving?" He asked. She nodded.

"Get Izzy to play with you, or Magnus." She suggested.

"But Magnus is scary and can't remember my name." He whined. Clary smiled at him and walked over to Jace, handing him his coat from the chair. "I could totally save her by the way... or Izzy or you for that matter." Simon muttered under his breath.

"As if Izzy would ever need saving and do we even need to go into detail about me?" Jace replied, wrapping his arm around Clary's waist. Simon snorted loudly and immediately swung his hand to cover his mouth.

"Dude, you got possessed by a naggy, undead nineteen year old and his dead demon mommy." Simon laughed. Both Jace and Clary narrowed their eyes at them, clearly a sore spot. He sobered up, glancing at Clary. "Right sorry."

"I'll see you tomorrow Simon." Clary said.

~THREE DAYS PREVIOUSLY~

"We feel pretty bad about not being there for his birthday." Maia said, knocking on the door to Magnus's apartment. A buzzer sounded and the door swung lightly open.

"Nah, it was good. It was pretty insane; I doubt you two would have appreciated the chaos anyways." Clary said. Maia shrugged.

"I dunno, chaos does seem to be my middle name." Clary grinned.

"Then danger is mine." She replied. Maia nodded, a smile dancing across her lips as they came to the top of the stairs. Clary knocked.

"Magnus, we're here!" She shouted. The door was immediately swung open by a rather flashily dressed Magnus. His black hair was spiked forward, the tips a glittery midnight blue. A dark blue trench coat was draped over once arm, on the other was Alec.

"Thank you dearly ladies, it seems that Chairman Meow just hasn't recovered from his ailment and I couldn't bear to leave him alone." Magnus said. Maia nodded.

"Jordan and Simon are out on a gig tonight anyways."

"Well, TV works and there's food in the cabinets." Alec said as Magnus led him out the door. As soon as the door closed the two looked directly at each other.

"Luigi?" Clary asked.

"Luigi." Maia confirmed. The pair raced over and flicked on the TV, inserting the game into the Wii console. They pressed go, clicked their game profile and launched into world 4. They were stationed at the flying boat level.

"Flyer hats, we need flyer hats." Clary mumbled. Maia nodded and retrieved flyer hats from their extras storage. The level started and immediately the two were working coherently as a team.

"I'll take over as sacrificial this go-round." Maia stated. Clary nodded and took up position behind Maia/Luigi. Maia bravely leapt into a flaming pit of bomb-walkers and koopas.

"Jump!" Clary shouted. Maia did as she was told just in time, a bomb suddenly exploded off to the right somewhere. "That was close." Clary breathed. Maia nodded. Off to their right Chairman Meow meowed loudly.

"Sorry Chairman, we'll quiet in down." Maia said, looking at the cat who had acquired a sickly looking scruff.

"Ooo, ooo! Quick! We're almost to Bowser!" Clary cried, another mew of protest from the ill Chairman. Maia daringly leapt through a row of flame throwers, over two koopas and four gun-wielding turtles. Clary leapt up, remote in hand. "YES! Suck it Jace Lightwood! I told you we would beat you!" Clary shouted. Maia gave her a raised eyebrow in response.

"I take it you two were questioning each other's video game skills?" She asked. Clary nodded.

"He's on this level, claimed he would beat me." Clary replied. Maia nodded.

"Well there's more yet, I wouldn't call him up in victory till it's over." Clary retook her seat and prepared for Bowser. As they entered the next room Bowser leapt in flying device and started flinging flame balls at them. Expertly Clary and Maia flew up to him and hit him upon the head.

"Gethimgethimgethimgethim! Getthethinggetthethinggetthething!" Clary said, blurring her words together. Maia hit him on the head one final time and Bowser fell to the ground.

"YES!" Maia shouted.

...

"AH YEAH! CALLING JACE!"

THANK YOU AGAIN!
