(A dark street during night time. An Asian man looks around and starts walking. He is followed by Alec. When the man turns around, Alec shoots up into the air. A shot of a roof. Izzy, wearing a platinum wig, activates a rune on her lower arm with her stele. She continues to follow the Asian man. When he bumps into another man, he suddenly transforms into him. Jace is watching the man from an overhanging roof. The man bumps into a woman in a purple dress, he transforms into her. Her eyes light up. Izzy, Jace and Alec jump from the roof and land behind the woman. She is walking towards the Pandemonium. Jace wants to go in as well, but bumps into Clary.)

Clary: Hey, can you watch where you're going?

Jace: You can see me?

[EIGHT HOURS EARLIER]

Clary: (Clary walks into the Brooklyn Academy of Art) (To Herself) You got this. Hi. (Clary sits down in front of the three judges) I'm Clary Fray. (Clary presents her art to the man and women)

Woman 1: This landscape is very... decorative.

Clary: Well, I wasn't going for decorative, exactly.

"Those are creepy." Rebekah said with a disgusted expression on her face as she looked at the drawings.

Woman 1: What are those?

Clary: Oh, those. Nothing, just, um... some ideas for a graphic novel I'm drawing with a friend. Really, it's just there by mistake.

Woman 1: The Brooklyn Academy of Art doesn't believe in mistakes.

[The Café]

(Clary walks in the cafeteria. She looks upset)

Simon: Give me the professors' names and I... I will end them. You know, with... with a scathing email to the dean.

Clary: Don't bother. (She gives Simon a letter that says "Congratulations")

Simon: What? The sad face? Really? Well played, well played.

Clary: Thank you. You know, it's weird. They kind of liked my assigned work, but they flipped out over the drawings for our graphic novel.

Simon: You're welcome.

Clary: This day will go down in history as the greatest 18th birthday I ever had.

Simon: Which is why we are celebrating tonight. Yes, with Maureen, after our show.

Clary: Absolutely. So... what's the deal with you and Maureen?

Simon: What deal? No deal. We sing together.

Clary: You seriously don't know she's been crushing on you this whole time?

Simon: What? No. No.

Clary: Simon, how can someone as smart and perceptive as you not realize that the person sitting right there is in love with you?

Simon: I guarantee you I'm not the only smart, perceptive person to make that mistake.

(Clary looks down confused to see her biscotti is gone. It is now a drawing on the paper.)

Simon: That's a latte.

Clary: But I could have sworn I had a biscotti.

Simon: Maybe you ate it really fast and didn't even notice. Happens to me all the time. When I'm happy... when I'm sad. But I will replace your mythical biscotti with an actual one.
