[ Normally, Clary would be outside wherever she agreed to meet someone five to ten minutes before the agreed-upon time but tonight, she has a surprise in store for Finn. She texts him about ten minutes to 8:00, telling him she's already arrived and to meet her inside on the main floor by the milkshake stand. It's close enough to the strip club portion of the Scratch for him to be able to see the stages and also hear, over the music and sound of patrons, the person announcing the dancers.
As a part-time dancer — particularly one who is still getting fully comfortable on stage — Clary won't be put on the main stage but instead one of the smaller stages, off to the side of the dance-floor. It's from behind that section that she scans the crowd, looking for Finn so that she can quickly pinpoint him when she actually steps out. The slight twinge of nerves in her stomach could very easily be from her first night officially dancing but she'd be hard-pressed to say that his presence had nothing to do with it.
All she can really hope is that he actually stays in the area instead of wandering to try and find her; she'd hate for him to miss her debut. ]
