Author's Note: Well, the other day someone reminded me of a show I used to watch ALL OF THE TIME in elementary and middle school, "Gargoyles"! And I remembered just how much I loved that show and I even went on youtube trying to track down old episodes, when an idea came to mind. When I was younger, I'd made up my own characters and put them in the show as I watched it and I said to myself "Why not write a fic using those imaginary characters and see if it works out?" So, my dears, that is what I'm doing. As it has been several years since I've seen the show, if anyone notices a detail that is wrong or needs to be added, please let me know! That being said, here is my first attempt at reviving my old love for the show "Gargoyles"!

The sun was setting hot and full in the sky when Elisa Maza pulled up to the Xanatos building. It had been a long day and all she wanted to do was see Goliath and relax in the castle. She stretched as she went through the revolving doors of the building, flashing her security card to the guard behind the front desk, they were used to seeing her there by now. Elisa imagined the sun would be about to set by the time the elevator took her to the top of the tower where the castle was located. In fact, the great glowing disc set just as she stepped foot out onto the walkway surrounding the base of the tower. She heard the tell-tale cracking of stone as one by one the gargoyles began to wake up. Bronx trotted over to her and licked her face.
"Hey boy," Elisa laughed, "Good to see you too."
"Hi Elisa!" Broadway came over scratching his chest sleepily, "Did you come to join us for breakfast?"
"No thanks, I ate a little while ago." Elisa smiled tiredly. "Oh well, more for us!" Broadway and Bronx took off into the castle.
"Ah, don't mind them lass." Hudson said as he passed by, "It wouldn't have mattered if you hadn't eaten already, those two would still eat all there is in the kitchen."
"It's ok," she laughed and patted the older gargoyle's shoulder then turned back, "Hello Lex, Brooklyn."
"Elisa!" Lexington bounded up to her. "How are you?"
"Did you have a good day?" Brooklyn came up behind him. "You look kind of tired."
"Well I am," Elisa said, waving to Angela as she passed by. "I'm looking forward to just relaxing for a little while."
"That sounds good, see you in a little while." Lex waved before the two went inside.
Elisa watched them go in and shook her head. "Maybe I need a vacation." She felt strong arms wrap around her from behind and a deep voice in her ear. "Then perhaps you should take one." Goliath murmured, "You could just stay here for a few days and relax."
"Doesn't sound too bad," Elisa sighed, leaning into his broad chest. "I think I just might look into that." She closed her eyes and just listened to Goliath's strong heartbeat behind her head. "Sleep all day, then spend time with the others and you at night."
"Yes," His arms tightened around her. "You have been working quite a lot lately."
"Well," Elisa turned and started to answer him, when a shout was heard from inside the castle. They looked at each other in puzzlement when another shout followed the first. Goliath and Elisa ran inside to see food flying around the room, and not because someone was throwing it. In the air near the ceiling, floated the fay Puck, who was laughing as he used his magic to cause the food to zoom and speed around the room causing everyone to duck to avoid getting hit.
"Ah! What fun this is!" Puck laughed, "Now I remember why I missed you lot!"
"Puck!" Goliath roared, "Stop this NOW!"
"You aren't any fun Goliath you know that?" Puck frowned, but then the food stopped flying around and dropped to the floor, though Bronx did manage to catch a ham before it hit the ground. "Ah well, I didn't come for fun and games anyway. The truth of the matter is, I need you help on a little matter my wonderful gargoyles" Puck floated down to Goliath's eye level.
"What could you possibly need our help with?" Goliath asked suspiciously, eyeing the fay and flaring his wings out.
Puck smiled and clasped his hands together, "I'm so glad you asked."
