Disclaimer: I do not own Gargoyles. The only thing that is mine is Trianna. Gargoyles belongs to the amazingly talented people that came up with the show!

A/N I am soooo sorry for not updating in so long! I hope you guys didn't think I'd forgotten you. Not to make excuses or anything, but I've been really busy with schoolwork, and then I was sick the past week. I hope you enjoy this chapter, and I look forward to writing more for you.

Chapter 10

Enigma smiled sweetly at Brooklyn. "I remember one of our rookery brothers saying that."

"And remember what happened after that?" Trianna said, playfully shoving Enigma. "The next day he tried to ask some traveling gargoyle girl out. Only problem with that was, he'd asked Enigma out after he said he wouldn't get on our bad sides." She laughed. "I wish I'd seen his face when he saw Enigma later!"

Enigma laughed with her, holding the stitch in her side. "We went time hopping not long after that, so we don't know what happened after our little, um...fight," Enigma said, her laughter subsiding. She glanced around. For some reason, these gargoyles made her feel at ease, something that only her rookery sister, Trianna, had been able to do. She was surprised at how open she was being with them even though they'd only met a day earlier.

"Hey guys!" Elisa said, bringing Trianna and Enigma back to the present. "You gonna help me with them, or what?"\

"Oh, right," Brooklyn said, picking up one of the thugs. "Let's go then."

The seven gargoyles glided over the rooftops with the thugs. Goliath held Elisa in his arms. After they'd made sure Elisa had dropped the thugs off at the precinct and driven safely home, they headed back to the clock tower. Trianna landed on the balcony and stretched.

"Well, I guess it's time for bed again," She said.

Goliath looked to the east, where the sky was brightening.

"Yes, it has been a long night," he said, going to the clock face door. "I will be back in a moment." He went inside.

"So, Trianna," Said Brooklyn slowly. "Where are you guys from?"

"Arizona. It's such a great place to live. Although, it can be pretty warm at night," she shrugged. "At least there aren't any earthquakes or tornadoes."

"Yeah," Added Enigma. "And we sleep during the day, so we never have to suffer when it gets over 110 degrees," She giggled. "I woke up and scared the crap out of this pack of coyotes one time. It was really funny! They started yapping at me like I was another coyote and I'd done something wrong!"

"Yeah, then you started petting them!" Said Trianna, grinning. "I swear, those Coyotes were raised inside. They were too friendly to have been wild!"

"They sound that way," Said Brooklyn, laughing along with them.

Goliath came out of the building then with Hudson and Bronx.

"I see you guys are getting along well," he said, smiling. "That is good, considering we have agreed to let you stay with us. That is, if you want to stay."

"Definitely! We'd love to stay!" cried Trianna happily.

"Yeah!" Enigma agreed.

"Well then, let us find you suitable sleeping places," Goliath gestured to the railing. "All of the railing supports on this side are open if you'd like one. We have a great view from up here."

"Alright," Said Trianna, heading over to one of the supports Goliath had gestured to.

"Hey Trianna!" Called Brooklyn. "You can sleep here if you'd like. It has a great view of Central Park." He gestured to where he was standing.

"No! I wouldn't take your spot," she said, blushing. "I'm fine over here."

"No, go ahead! It's OK." He jumped down and started walking to where Trianna was standing.

"Hey!" Said Lexington. "My spot has a wonderful view of the lake in Central Park! You'd like mine better!" He hopped down and followed Brooklyn.

Enigma looked out over the city, cloaking her wings contently. Glancing over to her rookery sister, she noticed the two younger male gargoyles talking to her. Smirking and shaking her head, she jumped up on one of the railing supports that wasn't occupied.

Trianna froze as Brooklyn and Lexington started fighting over whose spot had the better view.

What on earth... Then it clicked. They were fighting over her! Geeze! She thought, shaking her head. Why can't boys just come out and say they like a girl instead of dancing around the subject like that? She turned and met eyes with Enigma, who was perched three supports down, grinning.

"What?" demanded Trianna indignantly.

"Oh, it's nothing," replied Enigma, snorting with laughter. "I'm just watching those two bicker about the view when both of their spots look out over the same thing!" She snorted again.

"Well, I think it's cute," Said Trianna putting her hands on her hips.

"Whatever you say," Enigma snorted, turning to face outward again.

Goliath watched the two boys bicker with amusement. He turned to Hudson, who was just hopping onto his support. "It looks like we might have another fight for love," He said, laughing quietly.

"Aye Lad, it looks as if the Lassies have stirred up some of the old competition," Said Hudson, watching Lex and Brooklyn argue.

"When Angela first came, it was not pretty," Goliath said, serious now. "I just hope that Brooklyn and Lexington will be a little more kind than they were the last time."

They watched Trianna and Enigma exchange glances.

"Don't worry Lad," Said Hudson. "There are two lassies this time. They can both be happy." He clapped his hand on Goliath's shoulder, then turned and stared out over the city.

Goliath took the cue and took his perch beside him.

Trianna walked over to the support next to Enigma's and jumped up on it.

"I wonder if they'll notice I've moved," She said thoughtfully. She waited a few minutes. "Nope, I guess they're too preoccupied!" She giggled and winked at Enigma. "Watch this! Hey boys!"

They both stopped and looked at where Trianna had been standing. When they realized she was gone, they both glared at each other. But before they could start bickering again, Trianna whistled, and got their attention.

"This looks like a great view!" Trianna said teasingly. "I think I'll sleep here for the day. You'd better hurry and get to your spots, the sun is coming up!" She turned and struck a fighting pose like Goliath and Hudson had.

The boys looked forlorn. Then they glared at each other again in defiance and started marching over to where Trianna and Enigma crouched. But just then, the sun came up, and they froze in stone, determined looks still plastered on both of their faces.

I think I should have made this chapter longer... Oh well! You all remember what happened last time there were new girls in the clan. What could happen, right? evil smile
