Hey theer my little minions. Long time no write. I know it has been a week but I is sorry. I didn't forget about you all or anything. Things are just like project, read this book, papers. I think that you guys all get the drift of what is going on. Hate school, but government is all like, you have to do it. Anyway, read and enjoy, my little minions.

Jace POV

"I'm surprised that Izzy gave you back to me in the condition that she found you in. Most of the time, she likes to give an extreme Izzy makeover. I feel sorry for the girls that have come back looking almost like exact copies of her. I don't see how they learned to walk in heels that tall in the short amount of time that she has them for." I said as I heard the front door open, close and feet clambering across the floor.

"Why would sissy try and put me in heels, Jacey? You always say that they are a pain. Is sissy trying to hurt me and I don't know about it?" Max's little body peeked into the kitchen and around the fridge door to look at me with those huge eyes of his. They could even melt my semi-cold heart in an instant. His look was heartbreaking.

"No, sissy would never ever try to hurt you Max. I thought that you were Clary, you remember Clary don't you?" His face soften into his normal smile that never normally left his lips unless something was really upsetting him or he was concentrating as hard as a nine-year old could concentrate. His face broke out into a giant grin when I mentioned Clary's name.

"Oh, I thought that she was mad at me for going to her room last night instead of yours last night. I didn't want for Clary to see me scared. The girl is never supposed to see the guy scared, that is the golden rule if you want to keep them safe."

"And why would you need to keep her safe, little man? I'm pretty sure that she doesn't need for anyone to keep her safe, just like Izzy."

"Because I'm her night in shining armor. I rescued when she got here and made sure that she was safe until she got to room. That is the sort of thing that the knight does for the princess in the stories, they keep them from trouble and don't show fear. How would it of looked it I came in here all scared and stuff. She would never see me as a knight in shining armour here to protect her."

"I take it that you have your first crush on a girl, Max. Would I be right in saying that it would be little Miss Clary?"

"Yeah, but I don't know how she feels about me. She will probably just see me as a little kid. Plus, what about all of the other girls in my grade that like me? I don't want to hurt them if anything ever happens between me and Clary. They are all really nice and pretty, but none of them have the sweetness that Clary showed to me." His little face was blushing all kinds of colors from the tip of his ears to the bottom of his neck.

"Well, little man, I think that there is bit more of an age gap than what mom and dad would want for you to have in your first relationship. But, I don't see anything wrong in treating her special and trying to find a girl your age that is like Clary. What about that girl, Samantha, that you are always on the swings with and you two are always making pictures for each other. And she was freckles like Clary."

"Samantha is really nice like Clary. And her freckles are a lot like Clary's. But Sebastian's younger brother John has a crush on her. I don't want to pull Samantha into something like in one of Izzy's books. I think that would really hurt her feelings if something like that happened to her." So young and already dealing with girl problems, maybe I was rubbing off on him more than I should.

"How about this, you, me will take Clary and Samantha out on a double date. We could go out for burgers and take them to movies. I don't even think that John could ever pull something that awesome off to get Samantha. I could be your wingman and everything, including sitting in the row behind you so that you can talk to Samantha privately."

"That sounds awesome Jace. John couldn't ever be able to top that. Could we take your car and sit in the back by ourselves? I could open and close her door for her to seem like the perfect gentleman. Do you think that she would let me give her a kiss on the cheek when we drop her off at her room?"

"Woah Max, you are nine and already kissing girls on the cheek. I think that beats even Jace's record. Who is the so to be lucky girl?" In the archway stood Clary in all of her shining glory, obviously tired from all of the shopping that Izzy had made her do. I was so into conversation with Max that I didn't even hear the door open and close again.

"This girl Samantha that is in my class. She is really pretty and nice like you Clary. And I was wondering if you would come on a double date with me, Jace and Samantha if she says yes. I don't want for it to seem like you two are supervising me. How embarrassing would that be for me, like you didn't even trust me?"

"Max, I don't think that for a second that any little girl would turn you down. You are the sweetest and kindest person that I have ever meet. Of course I will go on a double date with you and Jace. You just need to tell me when it is and I will be there. In fact, I beat that if you head down to Samantha right now, she will say yes and you two can figure out when it is best for you." she said while getting down onto his level to look into his eyes. Her own were full of a sincerity that I have never seen in a person before.

"Do you really think so? Or are you just saying that stuff because that is what a girl is supposed to say?" he said curiously.

"Everything that I have ever said, I say from the bottom of my heart. There never has been or ever will be a lie in my heart. I would die before I ever tell someone something different then what I feel. Now, go and get that date before anyone else can ask her." His smile grew again as he bolted out of the door. You could hear his foot step faintly pounding against the floor as he sprinted down the hall towards the elevators. Clary rose back up and looked at me with an amused look on her face.

"So, is this your way of asking me out on a date because of what happened last night? Because if it was, that was a pretty smooth move using your little brother to coax me into a date with you. But, most guys that I meet tend to ask me out themselves, not through their little brothers."

"Honestly when I suggested the idea to him, I had not thought anything of last night. I was only trying to bring along a person to make it not seem like we were chaperoning. If I was to take Izzy, one she would make a giant fuss of everything and two I would technically be going on date with my sister. I hate to burst your bubble, but I'm not into that whole incest thing. I tend to only go with girls when I'm sure that I don't have a blood relation to."

"Its cool. I'm perfectly fine with going on a fake date with you to help your little brother out. Well this was an informative talk, but now back to what I am really here for. I don't know where you are staying for the next couple days, but I'm going to be over at Izzy's room. She said that I could crash on a blow up mattress that they have for when they have sleep overs with other girls."

"I will be rooming with Simon and his roommate Jordan, Maias boyfriend. I love Alec and Magnus, but I have seen how much glitter they have and I don't want for Magnus to turn me into a glitter monster without my permission. The office said that this nice new whole should be fixed before the dance, but we can still get in here if we ever need anything from the room."

"Sounds great, now I will know where I will be spending my night while everyone else is out at the dance. In the safety and comfort of my bed till another tree decides to go through the wall."

"Why aren't you going to the dance? I thought that whole reason that you and Izzy were going out was to get you and her a dress. I knew that Maia had already had a dress to wear for weeks. I just don't understand why you don't want to go. The next real dane for us is prom and that is at the end of the year, months and months away. Do you really want to wait that long to go to a proper and formal dance here?"

"Well, its not like I have anyone to go with. I don't know anyone outside of your circle of friends, I don't talk to anyone else and everyone in the group has a date. Izzy has Simon, Maia has Jordan, Alec has Magnus and you are probably going to go with some girl that you find there. What is the point of going if everyone else already has someone to dance with? I don't want to third wheel in on anybody." No, Clary. I broke things off with Kaelie so that I could take you to the dance. Thats why I was waiting for you to get home so that I could ask you. Now you think that me and Kaelie are a thing. I wanted to tell her all of these things so badly.

"I know what you mean. But don't worry, I will bring you up some cake after the dance is over. That is something that you never want to miss, the cake that they order is always to die for. Personally I would eat the entire cake all by myself if it wasn't for the getting fat part. That and other people might want to eat it as well." I chickened out, I should've told her what I was thinking. I missed the perfect opportunity to do it.

"Well, isnt that awful sweet of you. Now I'm just going to round up my toiletries and head on over to Izzy's. She said that I could borrow some of her old stuff til the room thing is all fixed and the clothes that she ordered for me come in," She disappeared into the bathroom for a few minutes and reemerged with a decent sized bag filled with what I assumed was her toiletries, "You know where to find me if you happen to need me and just text Izzy if you can't find me. She will most likely know where I am."

She skipped out of the dorm room and into the one across the hall. I had made a date with Clary, but not the one that I had wanted with her, but at least it was still a date with her. Only she didn't seem to see it as that, she saw it as we were only going to keep an eye on my little brother and the little girl that he was try to get to be his girlfriend. Me and max were in the same exact ship, only at least his crush had a slight idea that he was interested in her. I on the other hand was stuck with a perfect girl that didn't even have a clue that I was chasing after her.

Clary POV

"Izzy, what else did you expect for me to tell him. No don't bring me any cake because I will secretly be at the dance trying to win you over except you will not know that it is me. How do you think that will go over with him?" I said to her once I said what I had to Jace about me not going to the dance this Friday.

"You could of said that you don't want cake, but thank you for the offer. Honestly Clary, it really isn't that hard to do. What are we going to do with you?"

"Well we have the entire week to hope that he doesn't remember that little detail of bringing me cake after the dance. Besides, he will probably be busy with the Kaelie hanging over him like draps. No doubt that they will go back to her place and sleep together before can bring the cake to me after I leave him alone."

"No, we will keep him away from Kaelie while you are going back to room and start to get ready for him to get back. Now, we are going to drill getting you out of this dress, hair, makeup and into your normal lounging around wear so that we know how long we are supposed to stall him for. Now lets get this process started." she said with a million bobby pins in her hand ready to attack my hair for the second time today.

Time skip

So one time through was not good enough for Izzy. We practiced this a total of three times, just to make sure that I had everything ready and down pat. First I had to strip myself of the dress and shoes and into sweats, hoodie and fuzzy socks. Then I had to wipe most of my makeup off of my face til there was barely a trace left. The most time consuming was the hair coloring that she had put in my hair. All of it had to come out or it wouldn't look right at all.

Followed by pulling all of it up into a messy bun, that part was the simplest by far. The total production took about twelve minutes by myself, and with the aid of Maia, who had convinced Jordan to let her leave early to help me out, it only took us seven mintues. So either way they were going to have to stall Jace for about fifteen to twenty minutes to make sure that I was back to normal and unglamorous. Why was this so difficult? Jace Lightwood was the reason that it was so hard.

I was just about to drift off into sleep when I heard max yelling and banging on the door "Clary Clary Clary Clary Clary Clary Clary." Over and over again this I finally got to the door and opened to his smiling face.

"Oh good you answered. I was starting to think that you might of been asleep already. But I was just coming over to tell you that the date is going to be the Tuesday after the big dance. We are going to go and see frozen and eat burgers at steak and shake. Can you make sure that Jace showers before the whole date starts. I don't want for Samantha to think that we are a smelly family. Oh and she said that we could hang out together at the dance and dance together. It is going to be so awesome. Well I better go and get into my dorm before my counselor finds me out of my bed. Night Clary."

The little rug rat didn't even let me get a word. It was all one sided. I could barley keep up with him over his energy and how fast he was talking. The poor boy had his first date, I can't really suspect anything other than how he was acting right now. I closed the door quietly only to be meet with Izzy, hands on her hips and eyebrow cocked sky high.

"So, when did you think that you were going to tell me about this date with Jace and Max. Movies and dinner sounds sort of intimate, doesn't it Maia?" She said in a mocking tone.

"Hardy har har. Very funny, Iz, but me and Jace at only to go to supervise and to act like we are on a double date with the little ones. Trust me, there is nothing datey about this date that I'm going to be having with Jace. What is the most romantic thing that will happen, we share a bag of popcorn and our hands accidentally touch while we both go for popcorn at the same time? I seriously doubt that anything that cheesy or corny will happen to us. That stuff is just things meant for romance books and movies, not real lives." I said with my head held high. The only sort of real date that I had was with Jace at the dance.

Even if he didn't know that it was going to happen. We all settled back down into our beds and talked about the weird stuff that we have to worry about around guys. Slowly but surely, we all started to succumb to sleep. Now it was my turn.

Time lapse (still Clary, just a couple days later and the hole is fixed)

As much I love Izzy, which is a lot. The girl seemed to take every single detail into perfection, even down the the type of clear coat went with the certain type of nail polish. The girl was beyond critical and way past defcon 5. Pure insanity was a good way to put it.

Not to say that I didn't enjoy the attention that I was getting from guys, females as well. But when Jace seemed to be anywhere near me, it was like all of them could only look at the floor or other girls. We are sharing a room people, we aren't married or anything like that.

Well now I'm back in my wonderful bed surrounded by a million different pillows and blankets at my parents have sent up along with the rest stuff that I was waiting for the last week that I have been here. Except, they didn't read the list that said that I only needed clothes and all of my toiletries. They send all of my stuff from my room, everything from my room down to all of the posters and wall decals. Lets just say that I had a nice sized mountain of all the stuff that they had sent to me.

"Clary, do you want to explain what all of this shit is doing all of the freaking floor? I remember telling Izzy that she wasn't allowed to get you anything other than clothes. Am I going to have a talk with her and you, she should of stopped when you guys drifted from the clothing section of the store?" He said climbing over the box in the doorway only to find more in the bedroom. His face dropped in complete shock.

"No no no, Izzy didn't have anything to do with this. This was all my parents fault. They were only supposed to send my clothes but they just packed up my room and shipped it down here. I already called for a junk removal company to come and take an extremely large part of this away and into this wonderful place called the landfill." I said to him.

"But that would mean getting ride of a majority your lifestyle and personality. Are you sure that you want to do that? What are your parents going to think when they find out that you threw their hard earned money away because you don't have space? I could always get a storage unit for you through the school's name so that you don't have to do that. I'm sure that you want to keep the stuff that makes you you."

"I bought most of this stuff with my money over the years. All that they ever really bought wad the clothes and furniture. Half of it is just junk that I never bothered to throw away. If it isn't to much to ask, could you help me haul some boxes down to the dumpster? Just so that we at least have somewhere to walk til the garbage truck gets here." I ask shyly, like he would want to move boxes at dive o'clock at night.

"How many boxes have you gone thorough? If you have a decent amount done than I can call up some of the guys so we can get it out quicker."

"Honestly anything that isn't in this room can be chucked out, I already went through them. But these ones are most likely my clothes and Izzy want to help pick out what I should keep and what should be picked to keep."

"Well, you could get Izzy ovet here while us guys move the boxes to the dumpster. Then when you figure out what you don't want and everything is done, we can all go out for frozen yogurt afterwards. That is if you want to this all tonight, we can do it another night if you want to do it then."

"No, that sounds fine. You can go and get the guys started right now if you want to and I can get Izzy and Maia over. I love Izzy, but could we just go out for yogurt after they all leave. I think that anytime that I really don't need to spend with her I'm going to take. Sorry if I offend you with that, but it is the truth."

"No, it's fine. Actually she makes me want to rip the hair out of my head sometimes as well. So uhh I will get the guys and start moving some of these out. Just tell me when I need to get ride of everyone."
