After the ceremony a party started in the courtyard as the music began to grow loud the DJ announced the first dance for Mr. and Mrs. Canmore. As they danced the first song alone everyone watched quietly, and then when the first song ended the rest of the couples went onto the dance floor and several songs played as the dancing continued.
Adela pulled Goliath to the side and told him it was time for them to go.
"You want to go now?" Goliath said looking around confused.
"Yes my love, it is the breeder's moon tonight and while the magic is here I was hoping we would take advantage of it." Adela said as she tugged on his arm again. They quickly went to say their good byes to the happy couple.
"Elisa, it was a lovely wedding. Thank you for inviting us. That dress is so beautiful on you." Adela said as she came up and hugged Elisa.
"Congratulations again Jason, I'm sorry to have to rush off, but we have a few things to attend to this evening." Goliath said as he shook his hand and then he began to walk away with Adela. Elisa quickly grabbed his arm.
"Goliath, I really need to talk to you soon." Elisa said as she handed him a note.
"We will talk soon I promise. Now my angel needs my help with a few things." Goliath stated as he and Adela went to leave.
Broadway and Angela were dancing to a slow song and she looked over and smiled as she got Broadway's attention and pointed across the dance floor where Lexington and Silvara were sharing their first kiss.
"I'm happy for the little guy." Broadway said as Angela whispered something to him. He just nodded and she took his hand and they walked over to the new couple.
"Oh, look at this Angela. Our boy's in love." Broadway teased as they got close.
"I am not." Lex argued. Silvara looked hurt by that. "No, I mean I am but…" She kissed him again quickly to stop him from talking.
"Talking is not one of your gifts my love." Silvara said as they both caught their breath.
"I'm sorry if that hurt you." Lex said looking to the floor. Broadway and Angela quickly left them alone.
"It did until I realized you were stumbling. You have nothing to be embarrassed about. I love being with you and I hope you will be proud to be with me to." She said as she looked at him hopefully. Lex moved closer to her and then grabbed her and kissed her passionately. He was shocked at his boldness but was also proud of how far he could push himself.
As they broke the kiss Silvara stared into his eyes lovingly then suddenly tears began forming in her eyes and she looked away.
"My clan is leaving tomorrow evening…" She said as she looked into his eyes. "I want to stay with you."
"The only way they would agree to that is if were bonded like Katana and Brooklyn." Lex pointed out.
"That's what I was going to ask you next." Silvara said quickly barely able to get the words out.
"Really…Uh…I'm flattered Silvara, and I would love nothing more than to be bonded to you, but both of our leaders will say we're rushing things." Silvara's face fell and she began to sob as she held onto him.
"But, the same was once said about Goliath and De… I mean Adela, so we can try." Silvara hugged him tighter and purred into his ear.
"I will make you so happy my love." She purred as she went to walk away.
"Where are you going?" He was surprised she seemed in a hurry to go.
"I'm going to speak with our leader Galvanis while you go speak to Goliath." She giggled in excitement as she ran off.
"Okay, now the hard part." Before going to Goliath he thought it would be better to go to Brooklyn.
He found Brooklyn and Katana in the next room. They were discussing other plans for the evening and Lex blushed a deep crimson when he heard them.
He knocked on the door to announce himself and Brooklyn grinned when he saw Lex standing there.
"What can I do for you Lex?" Brooklyn asked as he came up to talk to him.
"Can we talk alone for a moment?" He asked hesitantly. Brooklyn looked to Katana.
"Oh, you boys go ahead. I have some things to do to prepare for tonight anyway." She purred at Brooklyn as she left.
"Okay Lex, what's up?" Brooklyn asked as he took a seat and offered one to his friend.
Lex sat down gratefully feeling that his legs were about to give out on him.
"Well, you see…Since your second I thought…I would talk to you…" Lex started and then scratched his head while trying to come up with how to phrase the next part of his question.
"Come on Lex, we've known each other forever. You know that you can tell me anything.
"It's Silvara, I'm in love with her." Lex blurted out suddenly.
"That's amazing. Congratulations Lex." Brooklyn grinned at him as he patted him on the back.
"It would be the best thing to ever happen to me, but…"
"But she's leaving tomorrow right? So, I am guessing that she is now speaking to her leader and you intend to speak to Goliath?" Lex just nodded his head once.
"It'll be tough, but I will help if I can. You've only known her for a short time buddy and I don't know if we can convince Goliath." With that they both headed out and down the hall.
"Where are we going? Goliath's room is that way." Lex asked confused as they began walking down the left path instead of the right.
"I know, but I think we could use help from Hudson if we're going to bring this to Goliath, besides Goliath is off with Adela now anyway." Brooklyn pointed out as they approached Hudson's door.
"Now who could that be?" Hudson asked annoyed as he got up from his recliner. He opened the door and was surprised as Brooklyn followed by Lexington just barged in.
"What's the problem Lads?" Hudson asked concerned as Bronx lifted his head up interested by the sudden arrival.
"We have an odd request to make to Goliath, and if it has any chance of being approved I know that we will need your help." Brooklyn explained.
"Okay, Lad. Slow down and tell me what's happening." Hudson said calmly.
"Lexington and Silvara want to be bonded before she leaves tomorrow." Brooklyn said slowly.
"Oh" Hudson said in sudden understanding as he looked at Lex in disapproval.
"I don't think we can do that lad. It'll be up to Goliath of course but if I were him I would have to advise you that you just met her." Hudson said as he put his hands on the young gargoyles shoulders.
"You don't understand. I am in love with her and she loves me. We need time to be together." Lex said pleading with Hudson.
Hudson sighed. "Fine Lad, we'll talk to Goliath when he gets back but I can't say he will approve."
"Thank you Hudson." Both gargoyles said as they left his room.
Hudson chuckled as he sat back down in his recliner. "Impetuous kids, their kind of like the kids in this TV show here. I just hope their love life goes better than this Ted fellow." He thought about it for a moment. "Well, at least they have kinder souls than this Barney character." He chuckled again as he popped open a bag of chips.
"I have to go meet Katana, good luck Lex." Brooklyn said as he went to a window and glided away.
A short time later Goliath and Adela appeared and they were walking around the terrace just discussing anything at random.
"Goliath" Lex shouted as he ran up to them.
"It looks like you're needed my love." Adela said kissing him suddenly then she walked towards the tower.
"What is it Lexington?" Goliath asked impatiently.
"I wouldn't normally interrupt, but I have a very delicate situation I need to discuss with you regarding Silvara.
"Brooklyn told us on our way in. The answer is no." Goliath stated
"But…you didn't…let me…explain." Lex stammered.
"You've only just met her. I cannot condone something like this for you. Galvanis will also tell her no." Goliath said calmly.
"You don't understand. We…" Lex started.
"I said NO. Do NOT bring it up again." Goliath growled.
"Fine, I won't." Lexington said as he stomped to the edge and glided off.
Goliath just shook his head and followed Adela inside.
