Author's Notes: I gave Elisa a middle name Faye. From here on out any new people who come in belong to me. I have no rights to the Gargoyles and it's recurring characters.

Official Announcement

It had been two nights since Goliath and Elisa declared their love for each other. In that time it was hard for Goliath to keep his love for Elisa a secret. Finally when she did have her night off Goliath had all the Gargoyles in the courtyard of the castle. At that time no one knew that Goliath had a very important announcement, except for Angela and Hudson.

At first, Goliath thought it was best to keep everyone in the dark until the evening she was able to have off. But he decided to tell Angela and Hudson just before sunrise and told them that him and Elisa had finally taken the next step in their relationship. And as Goliath predicted neither Gargoyle were surprised.

"Goliath what is this all about?" Brooklyn asked. "We need to get out there before it gets too late."

"For starters," Goliath announced. "There will be no patrols tonight. What I have to tell you...may excite you."

Brooklyn moaned his discomfort. He hated to be in the dark when it came to Goliath having good news to tell them.

"Well do we have time to get breakfast?" Broadway asked, rubbing his stomach.

Goliath laughed. "Yes, you may get breakfast. But don't take too long. Elisa will be here shortly."

"Now I know something's up," Lexington said. "And you know about it." He pointed to Angela.

Angela tried to hide her smile but it was no use. She just couldn't stop smiling at what her father was going to say.

"She may know," Goliath smiled. "But doesn't mean she will tell you."

Lexington grumbled and left with Broadway to the kitchen for a bite. Brooklyn also went with his Rookery brothers since there was no sense to stay outside.

"Sorry father," Angela apologized. "I didn't think I would give it away."

"It's alright." Hudson wrapped an arm around her shoulders. "When it comes to Goliath's happiness, it's always hard to keep it a secret."

"Why did you tell us before sunrise?" she asked.

"I knew you guys already suspected of our feelings and it was best not to keep my most trusted friend and daughter in dark. You might as well get some breakfast."

Elisa was already at the castle when the Gargoyles came back from the kitchen. Her and Goliath were talking but stopped when they heard Angela approached.

Angela was the first to notice Elisa. Elisa and Goliath were really close, and she decided to speak loud enough for the two lovebirds to hear. "Come one you guys, Elisa may already be here."

At the sound of Angela's voice, Goliath looked up and quickly moved a little away from Elisa. He didn't want to ruin the surprise.

"Elisa," Brooklyn called.

The Rookery brothers then ran the rest of the way to the human detective.

"Now that you are here, Goliath can tell us what he's holding from us."

Goliath cleared his throat. "Alright, now Elisa is here, I'll let you in. First of all as you know Angela knows." He paused for a moment to look at his clan.

"When we first woke in this new world, we didn't know anything. We knew the world that was left behind but nothing of the new world. We didn't even know that there were other Gargoyles that still existed all over the world.

"Xanatos might have been the first human we met, but Elisa was our first friend. We all put our trust in her when I vowed I would never trust another human. And for the past three years, we have unofficially considered her as part of the clan. Tonight we are going to make officially part of the clan.

Elisa placed her hand on his arm, as she knew what he was about to say next. "Elisa and I...have decided to take the next step. We admitted that we need each other and want to be around. You all know how I feel for her, even if I always denied it. Well I'm not denying it any longer and neither is Elisa." Goliath took a deep breath. "We are in love." There it was finally said.

All mouths dropped open, too stunned to do anything, the exception of Angela and Hudson.

Brooklyn was the first to recover. "Goliath and Elisa...in love..." Then he smiled as he the realization set in. "YAHOO!"

His outburst brought everyone else out of their shock and they all started to shout and dance.

Goliath laughed as he cuddled the small woman against his side. "I have more to tell."

"More?" Angela asked. "What more is there?"

Her question had everyone stop dancing. Even Elisa was wondering what he meant.

"As I said, tonight Elisa will officially be part of the clan." Goliath turned to the woman and brought out a pink velvet box that has hidden in his belt. He bent to one knee and opened the box. "Marry me Elisa."

Elisa gasped in shock. In the middle of the box was a perfectly shaped three-stone diamond. The band was gold, which looked like eighteen-karat gold and the diamonds glittered over the full Moon. The diamonds weren't large but they weren't small either. The middle diamond was a little taller than the other two. It looked like it had cost a bit for it. But the question was how could Goliath get the ring and so fast too? It just didn't seem right yet for a Gargoyle to walk into a jewelry store to purchase a ring.

Elisa looked in Goliath's eyes and melted. How could she say no? A few nights ago she announced her feelings. Though she was too speechless she wasn't immovable. She nodded her answer. Goliath stood and took the ring out of the box and placed it on her ring finger. To her surprise the ring fit perfectly.

When Goliath took his hand off her hand, he wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her up to him. He kissed her in front of the clan. Everyone cheered as they watched. When Elisa was back on her feet, Hudson placed a hand her shoulder and one on Goliath's.

"Congratulations you two," he declared. "Lass welcome to the clan."

Angela approached her father, as Elisa was too overwhelmed to speak. "How did you get the ring so fast?"

"Xanatos," he answered. "As much as I don't want his help. He helped save our lives and as you said to Demona and me it's time to forget the past and live on the future. I had asked Xanatos if could help me pick one out.

"It looks like it was expensive," she said.

"Not as expansive as I thought it would have been. Xanatos showed me a book of rings and I chose the one that thought would suit Elisa." He turned back to his fiancée. "Elisa I love you with all my heart."

"I love...you to," she finally managed.

"Good evening," Fox said as she came out. "What's all the excitement?"

"Isn't it obvious," Xanatos came up behind his wife. "Goliath just asked Elisa to marry him."

"Unbelievable," Fox said. "Uniting of a Gargoyle and human. That will be different but effective. It will show that Gargoyles aren't evil. I'm surprised Demona isn't here."

"Demona wanted to be alone tonight," Angela came up in her mother's defense. "It's going to take time to heal a broken heart."

"But we are on the right track." Angela turned and seen Demona in the air. "Congratulations. But I would suggest keeping this from the public for now. They are just getting use to us flying in their skies. It might take them over the edge if they here that a human and a Gargoyle is uniting in marriage."

"I agree," Xanatos said. "It could make a world wide panic."

"Yes," Goliath agreed. "Now let us celebrate. Elisa is now part of the clan. Xanatos, Fox, you are welcomed to join."

"We would love to," Fox accepted. "That is why there is food waiting out in the lobby of the castle."

"That used to be the great hall, where everyone ate and danced," Lexington said.

"Oh I forgot. The reason I came out here." Fox turned to the small green Gargoyle. "Would you like to tuck Alex in bed."

"I'd love to," he smiled. He loved being around the Xanatos's baby. It gave him comfort and helped to remember that he wasn't a complete monster than everyone were led to believe. Of course he knew that was now different but it still gave him comfort. Baby Alex loved being around Lexington.

As Lexington left with Fox to the baby's room, everyone else went to the great hall and had their party. Before too long Lex and Fox joined the party. There was music and food. Broadway wouldn't stay away from the tables. After a couple hours, Fox and Xanatos retired for the night but the party continued. When sunrise started to approach, Goliath turned off the music.

"Daybreak is coming," Goliath announced. "Time to get some sleep."

The Gargoyles moaned their disappointment and left for the perches on the castle walls. Elisa followed Goliath to the highest tower.

"How did you enjoy the party?" Goliath asked as he jumped on the edge of the wall.

"It was fine," she said. "You are sneaky. You planned this all along."

"Caught red handed. You can thank Xanatos for that. He helped plan it."

"See you tonight big guy."

"Until tonight," he said just before he turned to stone.

When Goliath was stone, Elisa looked at her ring. With the sun shining the diamonds, it made her finger glow.

"I thought I would find you up here," Xanatos said as he approached her. "Why don't you stay here today? Partying all night must have made you tired?"

Elisa yawned and stretched. "Yes, it did. Thank you."

Elisa turned from the sleeping Gargoyle and followed Xanatos to small spare room. It was simple room that suited her needs. She took a quick shower and headed to bed. She was asleep quickly.

"Be careful my child," Queen Titania said as her voiced was heard throughout the whole room. "You will soon need a lot of help, which I will give."

"Titania, my love. What are you doing here?" Lord Oberon, lord of Avalon, appeared as a shadowy figure beside his wife.

"She saved my daughter's life on a few occasions. The police detective needs protection. She is about to start a journey that will change her life forever."

"Besides being engaged to the Gargoyle? And you want to help her? Interfering with humans isn't permitted."

"Yes that may be so but rules are made to be change. I feel I owe her for all the help she has helped me with. Besides what is about to happen to her is also going to effect my grandson and as a concerned grandparent, I mustn't allow Alexander to be harmed."

"You have a point. Very well you may help the human."

"Come my husband let us leave the woman and help her when she needs it."

As the Avalon rulers left the room another substance entered. The entity didn't even know there had been someone else in the room. "Detective Elisa Faye Maza, the life you know it will stop and continue on with me." it whispered then disappeared.
