Last year, I had the pleasure of reading a unique story on here about a seldom put-together couple. I just wanted to say thank you, to whoever wrote it, because if it wasn't for that author, I may not have bothered to write this. :)

Chapter 1: I'm Just the Diva Next Door
"Hey Nora, we're up next!" Shane hollered, peeking his head in the doorway.
"Coming!" she yelled. Turning away from the mirror, Nora fastened her cape around her shoulders and dashed out the dressing room door.
15 minutes later:
An exhausted but excited duo dragged themselves back to the locker room. "I can't believe we beat The Rock, it's incredible!" Shane exclaimed excitedly.
"Too bad it wasn't for the belts, but maybe next time," Nora responded, ever the optimist.
"Hey, you want to go hang with Cora and I tonight? You seem kind of down lately," Shane commented in concern, nudging her with his shoulder.
Nudging him back, she smiled slightly, "Nah, I'm alright, but I think I'll pass. You know what they say, early to bed, early to rise." Shane rolled his eyes, but he knew it was her subtle way of putting her foot down. "Besides, I have a bit more match - making to do," Nora replied, a twinkle in her eye.
"Hon, you spend so much time getting everyone else together, that you'll never have any time to find someone for you.
"Someday my prince will come, I suppose," she said wistfully, "in the form of Heath Ledger," Nora finished with a giggle.
"Yeah, whatever you say squirt," Shane said drolly. Standing up, Shane announced, "Alright, I'm outta here, but promise me you'll hang out with us sometime this week?" Giving Nora's knee a quick squeeze, his eyes searched hers in earnest.
She sighed, "Alright. Hey, maybe you and Cora can go out on a double date with Nidia and Spike!" Nora exclaimed in excitement.
"Maybe," he said non-committedly, a plan forming in his head that he liked much better. "If you must, get some beauty sleep kiddo," Shane said affectionately and quick as a flash, not too unlike his 'Hurricane,' character, he was gone.
Nora didn't get much sleep though, deep in thought, she sat out on the hotel balcony, hugging her knees to her chest. *Shane is right, I spend so much time helping ignite everyone else's love life, I have no time to find one. Who am I kidding though, I'm not the prettiest diva, nor am I the best built diva, I'm just the Diva next door,* Nora thought with a sigh, resting her head on her knees. Trembling slightly in the cool, night air, two silent tears slipped down her cheeks.
"You are a Jewel, you are a treasure.
There's nothing about you that's plain."
