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: Sweet...and I thought I wouldn't be writing any more chapters! Again, this is a Part Two ('cause I got no pairings in mind right now), this time the part two of the Spike Dudley chapter, Chapter 4: "What Makes Me Happy." Yeah, I knew I couldn't leave that empty ending alone. It's just not in my genetic coding, y'know? =)

Surprise pairing here, I hope you don't get disgusted or weirded out or whatever. This chapter is gonna be a double-happy ending for two previous characters whose chapters ended not-so-happily (spoiler!), so everyone's happy, me especially LOL. The song is "Wanna Be the One" by Freestyle. Freestyle...never heard of them? They're this awesome Filipino band, and I don't think they've ever performed in the USA, so it figures, I guess. Anyway, it's alright if you don't know the song, it's the lyrics that count here. Happy reading!

NOTE: There's somethin' wrong on ff.net, the f-cking tildes don't f-cking appear, so I have to use the f-cking boring dashes instead. Hope you don't mind...

Dry your eyes, wipe those tears away

I'm gonna make you see tomorrow's gonna be a brighter day

No more sorrow, no more broken heart

This time true love has come your way

"Damn, and I used to think that girl was nice," I remarked to Billy, watching Trish Stratus low blow Chris Jericho on TV. I was over at Billy and Torrie's house, watching Raw with them. The three of us were pretty much best friends now, and that was our weekly ritual. Every Monday, dinner and WWE Raw at Billy's. No exceptions.

"Hey, I'll have you know that she's not that cruel in real life," Torrie said to me matter-of-factly.

"Sure had us fooled," Billy replied.

"Yeah, she's very kind once you get to know her," she added. "And she's going through a tough time right now, so hold back on the insults."

"'Tough time'? What do you mean?"

"She's seems so depressed whenever I see her in the Divas' locker room. I didn't really ask her, but word has it she broke up with Jay."

Billy and I looked at her with mild surprise. "Oh...damn. Poor girl."

We all went quiet, just watching Raw on TV, when Torrie tugged on Billy's sleeve. "Hey, I just remembered, the Raw and SD crews are going to a party this week. There's this cool, new club..."

"A party? God, no..." Billy groaned.

Torrie punched him lightly on the arm. "Come on, it'll be fun! I'm not taking 'no' for an answer, mister! It's time you stopped bumming around on the couch."

I laughed at Billy's disgruntled expression. "Have fun, Billy."

"You're coming too, Spike."

I groaned this time, and Billy chuckled. "Fine...I don't see why not," I sighed.

'Cause I'm here, baby, the one that you need

Girl I won't ever let you down

I'll be here, baby, as long as you need me

Girl you'll see that love is better, baby, second time around

-----

It was the typical club scene, colorful flashing lights, loud music, bodies grinding against each other on the dance floor. Yawn...I sat by the bar, Budweiser in hand, looking around at the others. Bubba and D-Von were picking on each other AGAIN, Edge and Gail were talking and laughing with each other, Randy and Dawn were dancing up a storm (RANDY with DAWN? Huh, I didn't know that), Rob had his arm around Lilian. It's nice seeing Jericho back to his old, cheerful self again. Poor guy was just heartbroken last time I saw him. And across from where I was sitting, in a cute red backless top and black pants, was Trish, looking so sad all by herself. I walked on over.

"Hey...you alright?"

-----

I wanna be the one, baby

To show you that love is forever this time

I wanna be the one, girl

You'll have and you'll hold for forever

Your one and only love

-----

"Oh, I don't know...no, wait, I do. I feel like shit."

I think I have a reputation with the Divas as the guy to run to whenever you have problems, you know, the proverbial "shoulder to cry on." Sometimes I wish I were more of a stud, a ladies' man like Jericho or Edge, but I guess I'm not.

"Damn, Spike...it feels like my life's going on a downward spiral right now. I miss Chris like crazy, it hurts just thinking about it. And then there's breaking up with Jay...and that's just hell. He was a total asshole when we were together, and now he's even worse. It's just...too much to bear..." She broke into tears. I reached over and embraced her comfortingly.

-----

Tender love, baby, the promise of love everlasting

I know it's just what you've been dreaming of

I can give it to you, girl, I'll give in my all

I won't leave you lonely, lonely you won't be no more

-----

"It's gonna be okay, Trish. It'll be tough, but I know you'll weather it well."

She pulled back and looked at me, hope glimmering in her light brown eyes. "You really think so, Spike?"

"Yeah, I know you can do it," I assured her.

I'm pretty sure I wasn't drunk that night. I only had a few sips of beer. So I really can't explain what came over me that moment. She was absolutely beautiful, even with tears running down her cheeks. Something just...possessed me, and to my own shock, I...kissed her.

----

I'll be there, baby, I'll see it through

You know I'll always be around

Anywhere, baby, I'll be there with you

So that you'll see that love is better, baby, second time around

----

She pulled back, and so did I. "God...Trish, I'm so sorry, I didn't--"

She stopped me mid-sentence, grabbing my collar and pulling me in for a kiss. SHE kissed ME. Hard. I was shocked as hell.

"Trish...why?" I asked her when we finally pulled apart minutes later.

"Well...you believed in me. And you were the only person who even bothered to comfort me, see if I was okay. So...thank you for caring, Spike," she said, leaning in and kissing me again.

-----

With me you're gonna see a love that's true

We'll always be together, you'll have me and I'll have you

So let me make your sweetest dreams come true

For you, and just for you

-----

-one month later-

Who would've expected a little dweeb like me to get the girl? Trish and I are happily together now, and she's gotten around to smiling again, which I think is great.

"How'd you do it, stud?" Billy had asked me with an astounded look on his face, when I told him about me and Trish.

"Well, Billy," I replied, "I guess it's the little things. Showing someone that you care...that makes all the difference."

And it's a double-knocker! Two cheesy, happy endings in one! Likey? No likey? REVIEW!
