Musings of the Heart By Cold-Zephyr

Rating: PG

Disclaimer: Don't own the songs, don't own the Superstars, don't own squat. I thank you very much.

Summary: A songfic series of the Superstars' love lives, as well as their heartaches.

A/N: ...And Cold-Zephyr pulls a hat trick! LOL This is my third fic, and this time I want to veer away from the angsty drama of my previous fics, "All I Want" and "The Missing Piece" (hope you can check them out, too, if you have the time). Expect this one to be a bit lighter, cuter and fluffier, but not without the occasional sad and tragic chapter (hey, it does say "heartaches" in the summary, doesn't it?)

The lines in between the tildes (these squiggly symbols: ~) are song lyrics (and please forgive me if I got them wrong or anything). It's one Superstar/Diva's POV per chapter, starting off with our favorite superhero, The Hurricane a.k.a. Shane Helms. I strongly encourage you to listen to Eric Clapton's "Change the World" as you read...it's a great song and it goes well with the story.

I really hope you enjoy reading this as much as I enjoyed writing it! Love lots... ~*Cold-Zephyr*~

If I could reach the stars, I'd pull one down for you

Shine it on my heart, so you can see the truth

Then this love I have inside is everything it seems

But for now I find, it's only in my dreams

~

I just can't see myself with anybody else, no matter what I try. She's all I ever dream about. I've absolutely fallen for her, and if I don't deal with my feelings soon, they may just come bursting out of me.

I know her so well that I can easily picture her reaction to what I plan to confess to her. If she doesn't shriek in disgust, she'd probably be very shocked. "What? Why me? I'm no sexy blonde bombshell like Trish or Stacy or Torrie," she'd squeak. Well, of course she's not. She's much more beautiful than they are.

If I could change the world

I would be the sunlight of your universe

You would think my love was really something good, baby

If I could change the world

~

She rarely smiles at all, but when she does, it absolutely lights up my world. And while others may find it annoying and whiny, I think it's cute whenever she complains about how she's not thin enough or pretty enough. She is just so modest. Darling, you are pretty! And the tinkle of her laugh is just so precious. I would go on about everything I love about her, but there is just not enough time in the world for me to list it all down.

It's raining outside. Not that it's going to make me change my mind about my plans to go over to her and confess how I really feel about her. I have decided that now is the time, and there is no turning back. I slip on a jacket and head out the door.

Drat! I forgot to bring an umbrella. I must've been too preoccupied with thoughts of her...oh well. It's not that long a walk to the hotel she's staying at anyway.

~

If I could be king, even for a day

I'd take you as my queen, I'd have it no other way

Then our love will rule in this kingdom we have made

'Til then I'd be a fool wishing for the day

~

I'm finally standing in front of the hotel, all drenched in rain. And there she is, sitting by the window of her hotel room on the 20th floor, staring outside. Don't look so sad, Molly...I'd do anything to cheer you up.

"MOLLY!" I call out to her, waving my arms wildly to catch her attention. Yes, she finally sees me!

She opens her window. "Shane, what on earth are you doing down there? It's raining cats and dogs, and you're soaking wet!" Molly being her compassionate self. What a sweet and kind person.

"Molly, there's something I've wanted to tell you for such a long time now--"

"Come up here and dry yourself first before telling it to me, Shane! You might catch a cold!"

"No, it can't wait any longer! It's really urgent!"

"Okay then, what is it?"

"I..." Jeez, this is a lot harder than I thought it would be. Come on Shane, you can do it! Just three little words...

"Well? Out with it already!" she yells impatiently.

"I LOVE YOU!" I scream at the top of my lungs, causing some people to stop and see who was yelling.

Molly's jaw hangs open upon hearing these words. After a few moments, she closes the window and draws the curtains closed, without saying a word. Nothing...no "eww, gross," or "I love you too." Not even the "Why me? I'm not as pretty as Trish, etc." reply I was expecting.

Her silence broke my heart in two. The people still stood there, staring at me...stupid passersby can't even mind their own business.

I remained where I was standing for a few minutes, contemplating the stupidity of my actions. I start walking away dejectedly when I hear something through the loud roar of the rain...

"Shane, wait! Don't go..." I knew that voice all too well...it was Molly's.

Maybe it was just my imagination. I continue walking, when she grabs my shoulder and spins me around. Then she gives me the shock of my life.

She kisses me.

And it felt magical...having the woman I've loved for so long right here, in my arms, kissing me. I could barely believe it. The people surrounding us were now clapping and cheering loudly while we were kissing each other in the pouring rain. We're completely drenched, but I couldn't care less. I've got the girl now, and that, my friends, is quite an accomplishment.

Yay...I'm done! A happy ending, as usual. Did you like it? Did you hate it? Either way, please let me know. Review, review, review! This is only the first, but I promise I'll make some more if I get enough reviews (good ones LOL). Thank you all so very much! ~*Cold-Zephyr*~
