Pick U Up ~ Adam Lambert

Mortal Instruments - Cassandra Clare!

Bar Night: A Mortal Instruments Fanfic

It was just Izzy sitting at the bar. She swirled the contents of her glass around in circles, just another unhappy face in Taki's. Her life was confusing at the moment; all muddled together and going in circles like a dog chasing his tail. If only she could make up her mind. If only Simon would pluck up his courage. "'If only, if only,' the woodpecker cried, 'the bark on the tree was as soft as the sky." The dark shadowhunter mumbled and cracked a smile. Izzy felt a tap on her back and turned to see most of her crew. Magnus was there, so Alec was there as well. Simon and Clary were stuck like glue yelling to each other. Izzy was surprised that Jace wasn't with the rest of them. Luke, being the adult had come to supervise, and had brought Jocelyn too, to keep him on track. Not a moment afterwards, Jace walked through the door.

Izzy waved him over and yelled in his ear over the music, "Had the make an entrance I see."

Jace just smirked and grabbed Clary around her waist and rested his chin on her head as she talked with Magnus and Alec about what her talent could do.

Simon leaned against the bar where Izzy was sitting so he could look out to the crowd. "Hey."

"Hi, how are you?"

"Can't complain, you?"

Izzy shrugged and downed the last of her drink, "I swear I will kill whoever is at the mic right now. Horrible screeching, a dying cat makes a nicer sound."

Simon just chuckled, "I'll be right back. Luke wants me for some reason. I hope he doesn't want me to beat up Jace. That could end in disaster."

Izzy cracked a smile and turned to the person sitting next to her. Clary and Jace both smiled and ordered their drinks from the barkeeper.

"Jace, go away, I want to talk to Izzy about something you have no business knowing, nor would you care to you."

"Does it involve me?"

"No."

"Alright, uh . . . who to talk to, Alec!" Jace wandered over to Alec.

Clary watched him leave, and as soon as he was out of earshot the little redhead shot a look at Izzy and whisper-yelled "What the hell is going on between you and Simon?"

Izzy shrugged and looked into the bottom of her glass, "How should I know?"

"I think it's time for a wakeup call for Si,"

"Oh yeah, and how do you plan on doing that?" the sarcasm dripped from Izzy's voice.

"Tonight's open mic night, right?"

"Yeah,"

"One word: sing. I'll round up everyone and make everyone sing at least once, starting with you."

"Clary, you are one crazy redhead. I like it, and I know the perfect tune."

"Good, I'll get everyone else and tell them the news. You go and get your song ready."

Clary left the bar to where the other Shadowhunters were sitting and explained the plan. Meanwhile, Izzy went up to the DJ and asked about her song. All the DJ did was wink as say, "Sure thing."

Izzy waited until the stage lights turned a nice purple to reflect off her white dress. She took a deep breath, and went up to the mic, "Heyo all, you don't need to know who I am, but this is my tune."

The electronic bass and guitar started the song up. There was no going back.

"Jumpin' out the window

Movin' on, crusin' on

Which way will the wind blow

We can't be wrong, so say so long

Imma pick you up, Imma pick you up

Whatcha tryin' ta say to me?

Catch a train or two

Whatcha tryin' to do

Are ya going to play with me?"

Izzy took another breath for the chorus and waited for the music to speed up.

"All my life I've been waiting

Past my time, procrastinating now

It's a trip, Imma flip

And flash back through the scenes

Can't you see what I mean?

Breakin' through the boundaries

We're rollin' on, strollin' on

They won't ever find me

After all, we'll have a ball

Imma pick you up, Imma pick you up

We're gunna see where we can go

This is how I live, this is what I give

You're the one I want to know"

Izzy smiled as she got the hang of it and belted out the chorus

"All my life I've been waiting

Past my time, procrastinating now

It's a trip, Imma flip

And flash back through the scenes

Can't you see what I mean?"

"Drop the octave for the bridge, have fun, remember why you're doing this" Izzy thought to herself,

"Tiny minded two toned suckers

Same old faces make me shudder

Countless I've screamed 'Oh brother,'

Where are you I need someone to be my lover"

The lover note hung in the air as the song eased into another chorus

"All my life I've been waiting

Past my time, procrastinating now

It's a trip, Imma flip

And flash back through the scenes

Can't you see what I mean?"

As the guitar solo notes wove through the club, Izzy looked to the crowd, but saw nothing because of the spotlights, but hoped she was doing well.

"No, it's a trip, Imma flip

And flash back through the scenes

Can't you see what I mean?"

Izzy laughed just as the single did, ending the song perfectly. With a huge grin on her face, Izzy jumped off stage to see the rest of her family. As she neared the table Clary and Magnus both gave her a thumbs-up. As she settled into her spot beside Simon and Alec Magnus leaned around Alec and whispered, "Nice choice, I love that song." Izzy could only smile.

As Izzy tuned back into the conversation, she noticed that Luke was mysteriously missing. She went to ask Simon about it, but her mystery was solved as he walked up to the mic for his shot at stardom.

Enjoy? Yes? No? Oh well, im gunna write anyway!
