Hey, that's a cool challenge... makes me want to join in the fun...

Tom Wells? Ok.. wait.. I'm scratching my head here, trying to figure this one out. I know you, Nancy, I'm so absoluely sure there's an inside joke somewhere in there. Mind you, I can think of one, but it couldn't be THAT, could it?

For some reason, I'm surprised you didn't pick someone like Michael Jon Carter or something. Unless the timeline is wrong... I forget.

That was real cute - but you're going to have to expand on the date and tell us a bit more about the proposal, too. hehehe! And I wanna know who the guy is, dang it!!!

This was cute, Nancy! I am glad Lois found her Superman, so to speak. And the name Tom Wells rings a bell with me, but I can't think why.

My first thought was that Tom Wells sounds wayyyy close to Tom Welling. But... nah. She couldn't have? Could she?

Nancy??

Yep, that's it, Lara...Tom Welling plays Clark Kent on Smallville.

Thanks guys!!

At first, I thought he might've been a decendent of the Wells we know (namely, H.G.), but now that Lara mentions it, it could just be a pun on "Tom Welling." Sneaky, sneaky, Nancy.

What can I say? I wrote it in 20 minutes. Tom came to mind and then Welling... and then I shortened it to Wells...

I must admit that I didn't get the reference to Michael Jon Carter, Lara.

Cute piece. Marrying that fast sounds just like Lucy.
I didn't get the bit about Tom Wells (because I don't watch Smallville. Period.), but I decided to run a google search. Guess what I found:
Tom Wells
Nah, she wouldn't have married that one.

OMG! (yeah, that's the right expression all right!) Yeah, please let her not marry THAT guy.

Michael Jon Carter is........... Booster Gold!

Thanks for giving the challenge a try - I had a feeling it'd work well here. I'll post another one in a week or so.

Yeah, please don't let her marry that guy.

Argghh... I can't believe I didn't know who Michael Jon Carter was... I should have known... Time to break out the 22 comics again, isn't it?

And thus began years of emotional abuse as she had to endure his countless affairs.

Leopards don't change their spots and cheaters cheat.

I guess that's why the title is 'Unlucky in Love'.

Nope, not in this case. I wrote this with the idea of it being from the 'A New Hero' universe. The relationship he was in was what one would loosely call a relationship - nothing serious. I ran out of time, but I've already been asked for more, so I'll tell you more of what I was thinking. Tom is a minister (already established in A New Hero) and he and Lucy are quite happy together - no emotional abuse. And let me reiterate that I did say his so called girlfriend was what he loosely termed a girlfriend. Not the type of girlfriend he was living with and not the type of girlfriend he was at all serious with. I thought I'd made that fairly clear.

Aaah, gaaaahh! I was scratching my head and wondering who the heck this Tom Wells could be. He sounded like an actor, and I was thinking Tom Cruise, Tom Hanks....

Tom Welling!!! She got to marry "Superboy", eh?

Lots of fun, Nancy.
