I love being evil to my characters as much as the next girl, but I'm only here because Ms. Clare, the warlock who bewitched our hearts AND OWNS THESE CHARACTERS (but not the plot, I'm pretty sure this is all me, unless someone beamed it into my brain, because this is all based upon a dream I had a week ago), decided to crush us in COLS.

There will be plot here, but also a lot of fluff. There will seriously be no spoilers for anything, since this is an AH/AU where I took the characters and bent them to my whim.

MALEC – Magnus Bane and Alec Lightwood. The others are only here because I can't make the two of them live in a world of their own. Though that gives me an idea…

Un-beta'd. Rated T for the situations, not language or anything bad at all, just my …paranoia…This chapter is short, but I'm just getting into it. Shorter chapters and faster updates or longer chapters and slower updates, your choice.

Oh, and the ImagiNation is my Disney World here. It is Epcot/ Six Flags/ Magic Kingdom/ Busch Gardens/ Circus.


"If you don't hurry up, we're going to be late, Alec!"

"Shut up, Izzy. It's just the ImagiNation, not some five-star resort," shot back Jace. Despite only having been adopted seven years ago, his brotherly instincts were terrifyingly spot-on for an up-and-coming senior in high school. The golden boy, with the looks of an angel and the quips of a devil.

Isabelle tossed back her long black hair, checking her make up one last time in the mirror. "This is one of the last times our parents will be paying for us to go to the ImagiNation, Jace, and I for one do not intend to miss a minute more than I have to for the stupid Family Time."

Alec entered the room, shoving her aside to add his suitcase to the pile – three for his parents, three for Izzy, two for Jace, two for Max, and one for himself. What could Max possibly need all that manga for, when he would be spending a week with rides and rollercoasters, plays and performances, games and food? Even Alec was keen on going, and he wasn't keen on much of anything that smacked of socializing or reckless behavior. But, he figured, what with going off to college and all in a month, this would be his last chance.

Rolling his eyes, he said "Izzy, this is a family reunion. Of course we're going to have to spend time with the family."

"Just don't be a disgrace to the Lightwood name and actually have some fun for once in your boring life!"

Thirty minutes and a stacking of the luggage in the trunk fit to put a puzzle master to shame later, the Lightwoods were piled in the minivan. Robert and Maryse were bickering over the radio station, Izzy was texting her friends (and would be doing so for the whole hour, Alec was certain), Jace was catching up on sleep, and Alec was stuck entertaining Max in the back. Max had the Lightwood green eyes and didn't seem to need any entertainment, as he had already focused those eyes on the first of the manga stash he had packed.

Alec sighed and closed his eyes. This was going to be a long week, and he was supposed to be sharing a room with his cousin Sebastian Verlac. He had drawn the short straw there. The kid was nice, but snored like a demon.

Jace and Max would probably be at each other's throats by the end of the week, though, having to share a room. And Isabelle and their cousin Aline Penhallow would probably have another make up feud.

Yes, sleeping definitely seemed like a good idea.


FEAR NOT. Magnus will show up. Next chapter, if it's a long one. Two chapters, if it's short. This is a 100% Malec centric story, after all.

Thank you for reading! Please review, after all, I won't want to continue this if there is no reason to.

And I can't improve without constructive criticism (but, *sniff* be nice?). A "Great!" works too, after all, a one-word review doesn't take any time for you to bestow upon me a great measure of happiness.
