Operation Goliath and Elisa's First date
I don't own any of these characters. Please fill free to comment and review. Thank you
It was a nice sunset here in Manhattan as Elisa was waiting for her friends to waken from their stone sleep in the castle. Last night, Goliath came by to her apartment and asked her to come by tonight. He wanted to ask her something very important. 'I wonder what he wants to ask me.' She thought. Still waiting for the sun to set, Elisa began to think about the events that occur between her and her friends. It's been a month since the whole Hunters Moon incident and when Xanatos gave the clan back their ancestral home. Though Xanatos helped the clan escapes during the Hunters Moon and they began to trust him, Elisa had her doubts. Still she's glad that her friends had their ancestral home back. It was one of good things that happened that night. The other was well just thinking about it made Elisa smile and blush. It's still fresh in her mind as if it happened yesterday…
Flashback
Dawn was closely approaching as Elisa walked outside the highest tower in the castle. There was Goliath standing as the wind gently blew through his hair. Elisa walked closer to him and he must have known it was her since he turned around to speak.
"So things have come full circle." He said
Elisa tucked her hair behind her ear, "Somehow they always do…You know how I feel about you right."
Goliath brushed Elisa hair back, "How we both feel…yes"
Elisa jump up and wrapped her arms around his neck, "Good" and plant a kiss on lips just second before the sun rises and turns him into stone.
Elisa turned to leave Goliath smiling widely in his stone sleep, "Welcome home, Goliath welcome home."
End Flashback
It was their first kiss. When the clan found out about the relationship a few nights later they all said the same thing, "It's about time!" They couldn't understand why it took us so long to confess our feeling for each other. It was obvious for a while now how much they care for one another. 'Guess it just took a near death experience for us to confess our feelings.' She thought as she continued to watch the sun slowly starting to go down.
"Show time." She said with a big smile on his face. Soon enough she heard the sound of crackling stone as the gargoyles broke out of their stone stage sleep.
"I'll never get tired of seeing this." She said as her friends stretched and yawn, removing small chips of stone off them. They turned around and were excited to see Elisa there waiting for them, especially Goliath and Angela. Angela tried to keep her big smile at bay but she was too excited. She knew the reason as to why Elisa was here and she was waiting for this night to come. A couple nights ago Goliath told Angela that she wanted to ask Elisa to court him but she needed her help, practicing on how to ask her out. Angela smiled when he told her that and gladly agreed to help. Over the next few nights, Goliath practiced on what he was going to say to Elisa with Angela. The night before he felt confident about what he was going to say and he hoped Elisa would say yes. When he turned around and saw her standing in the moonlight, it was breath-taking. 'She's so beautiful in the moonlight.' He thought. Everyone jumped off from the ledge and walk towards her.
Goliath was the first to greet her, "Elisa, it is a welcoming sight to see you." He pulled her into a nice hug.
She smiled and returned the hug, "Nice to see you too, Big Guy."
"Good evening Lass, it's nice to see you." Hudson said
Elisa pulled away from the hug, "It's nice to see you too Hudson"
"Hey Elisa, what brings you here tonight?" Lex asked
Elisa was about to answer but Goliath interrupted her, "I asked her to come by here…there is umm…there is something that I need to ask her."
Angela couldn't help it but smile hugely, "Come on guys, let's give them some privacy." She started pushing everyone inside, "Good luck father, you can do this." She whispered to him. He smiled at her and watched as she literally pushing them inside.
The guys were confused as to why Angela was pushing them inside. Once they got inside they wanted answers.
"Hey what with you pushing us inside Angela?" Brooklyn asked
"Yeah, I wanted to talk to Elisa about a new computer book she got me." Lex said
"Because tonight is the night!" She said excitedly
"What are ye talking about lass?" Hudson said.
"Father is going to ask Elisa on a date tonight. He's been working with me on asking her out for nights." The guys smiled at what they here. When they found out they confessed their love for each other they were thrilled and they were wondering what is taking him so long to ask her out on a date.
"Oh man this is great. It's about time he asks her out." Brooklyn said
Broadway agreed, "Yeah, I hope everything goes well. Asking out the person you like can be nerve wrecking, I should know." He looked at Angela and blush remembering how nervous he was asking Angela out. Angela too blushed when he said that.
"Well anyways, I just hope it all turns out alright." Lex said
"We just have to wait and see lads and lass, so why don't we go eat some breakfast and wait." Hudson said. They agreed and headed towards kitchen.
Outside Goliath and Elisa were staring at each other in silences. Goliath was beginning to get nervous about asking Elisa to court him. Elisa noticed how nervous he was getting. "I wonder why he's so nervous about.' She thought. After a few more moments Elisa finally broke the silence.
"So…what did you want to see me about?" Elisa asked.
Goliath suddenly got nerves and couldn't remember what he was going to say to her. "Well…umm…Elisa…there is something I would…umm I would like to ask you. Something very important."
She gave him a nice smile, "What is it Big Guy, you can tell me."
Goliath took a deep breath 'It's now or never' he though. He took his talon and gently grabbed Elisa hand, "Elisa, I really care about you a lot. You are my light within the darkness. Your kind heart and gently soul helped me realize that I can trust humans again. That early morning when you kiss me was the second happiest day of my life." He took his other talon and cupped her left cheek, "The first was the day I met you. You became a great friend to my clan, a mother figure to Angela and the love of my life."
Elisa couldn't help but smile and blush at what he just said, "Goliath…" But Goliath placed a claw on her lips. "Please my Elisa I need to ask you this now before I get even more nervous than I already am." She nodded in agreement.
"Elisa, I would…I would like to court you this Saturday night?" Goliath took another deep breath. He finally asked to court her, now here comes the hard part, the answer.
"Court?" Elisa was a little confused at first but then she remembered she read a book somewhere that "court" was another term for date. 'He asked me on a date for Saturday night.' She couldn't believe it; this was something she'd been wishing for a while now.
She noticed that Goliath was getting nervous that she didn't answer yet. She smile at him and wrapped her arms around his waist, "Of course, Goliath I would love to go on a date haha I mean court with you."
Goliath couldn't believe she said yes. He returned the hug and wrapped his wings around her. "Oh Elisa, I am so happy that you said yes, I was afraid that you might say no."
Elisa pulled away, "Now, why would you think that." She grabbed both of his talons and gave them a nice squeeze. "Listen Goliath, I really care about you too, never ever doubt that. I'm glad you asked me out. I think it would be nice for the two of us to be alone together. It will be our first date." She blushed when she said that. Goliath noticed her blush and smiled, he hardly ever got to see her soft side often. "
"Well I've got to go, can't let Matt have all the fun with the paperwork." Elisa said
"I understand, Elisa." He pulled her in for one more hug. "I will see you on Saturday night. Be safe my Elisa."
"I will don't worry." Elisa pulled away once more. She leaned forward and gave him a kiss on the cheek, "See you Saturday." And with that she headed back to her car. Goliath had a big smile on his face. "Take care my love." He whispery said. He walked inside to join the rest of the clan for breakfast. When he entered the kitchen, he was happy to see everyone eating and enjoying themselves. He began to walk towards them. Angela heard the footsteps, she looked up and smiled.
"Father!" Angela said. Everyone stop eating and smiled at their leader. 'I guess Angela told them' He thought
"So lad, how did it go, where you about to ask the young lass?" Hudson asked. Everyone was looking at him, waiting for his answer.
Goliath gave them all a big, huge smile, "She said yes, we are courting this Saturday night." Everyone was excited to here that she said yes.
"Goliath, that's great!" Brooklyn said.
"Yeah, I'm happy for the both of you." Broadway said.
"So what are you going to do for your first date?" Lex asked.
"I have an idea but I will need your have as well as other to help me with this. I want our first…umm… date as you say to be the best. I want it to be memorable for her." Goliath knew in order to pull this off; he would need a lot of help, especially from two people he never thought he was going to ask for help from.
"Oh of course we will help you father." Angela happily said
"Yeah, just tell us what we need to do and we'll do it." Lex said.
"Alright, here is what I want all of you to do." Goliath told them what he wanted to do and what each of them was going to do. Everyone listened closely as he spoke and told them their jobs. After they discussed everything, they were excited to get started. They only have a few nights to do so. Operation Goliath and Elisa first date was underway. They decided to go on their separate ways to get started on their assignment. All except Goliath, who had one more thing to do. He began the long walk towards Xanatos office to talk to him and Fox.
