I rolled my eyes as I walked in to the room. I was met by my two best friends Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns and their streaky friend Seth Rollins. Today was the day that I was meeting Stephanie McMahon and Triple about my newest venture in the WWE. I had been in the WWE for two years, my first twelve months was spent at NXT and last year I had moved up to the main roster to take the Divas Championship from AJ Lee.

I sat down between Dean and Roman and grinned at them. The next few months were gonna be pretty cool, even if I had to work with a jackass like Seth Rollins. "Great to have you all here. As you know the four of you will be debuting as 'the shield' in four weeks." Stephanie started and made a point to give a long hard glare to all four of us separately as Hunter stayed silent. "In preparation, Cleo you have the next four weeks off, paid of course, and you'll be down in Florida at the training centre with the boys. I want, all four of you to hone your craft as a team. I want a finishing move that includes you all. Cleo I want a new finisher for you, something sharp and powerful, as you'll be in the ring with the men." My eyes widened a little, we had discussed the fact that I would be included in the attacks, we had not discussed the fact that I would be wrestling men.

"Is that a full time thing? Am I be promoted to a superstar?" I quirk an eyebrow at Stephanie and she smirks at me and eyes the other three men, Seth scoffing at my words.

"Yes, on the odd occasion, mainly house shows and quiet nights, you'll be able to compete in the divas division, but until otherwise discussed, you're position in the WWE is a WWE Superstar." She pauses again and i lean forward and turn my head to the left so smirk at Seth.

God only knows why we didn't get along, we had at first and then BAM! he turns in to the biggest jackass I have ever met and every sentence he spoke to me from then on was somehow spun in to an insult. Generally ones that I didn't deserve. "We've got a list of things that we want you to work on as a team and also as tag teams. The next three months are going to crucial, Cleo we want you to prepare to be a heel." Triple H says and I nod. I just want to hug Steph and Hunter for giving me such a great opportunity but it's totally not appropriate right now.

I wouldn't be here if it weren't for Hunter and Steph. I had known them for years. When I was little my dad would bring me along to a show when they were in Florida. Stephanie had watched me while my dad was busy being a referee. Hunter had encouraged me when I was older to pursue my passion for wrestling. He signed me to NXT when I had finished my training and had a few years of experience under my belt. He and Uncle Vince had been the ones that signed my main roster contract and had given me my title shot three short months after I had debuted.

When my dad got sick Vince McMahon himself paid the medical bills and to the day will not let me repay him a single cent. I had known that man since I was eight years old and behind the scenes of the WWE he was the kindest, gentlest man I had ever known.

"That's cool. I'm pretty good at being a bitch." I snicker and Roman laughs loudly.

"That I am aware of." Hunter smirks at me. "Here's your list. I want you guys at the training centre tomorrow morning, no slacking off, no killing each other… Seth." Hunter looks directly at Seth as he says that and I smile. "I'll be down to check on your progress in two weeks." Hunter says.

"Now get going." Steph smiles.

We all stand up and leave the room and just as Seth goes to say something I turn on my heel and walk back in to the room and pull both Stephanie and Hunter in to a tight hug. "I love you guys!" I tell them and then run back to the guys and we head off down the hall to grab our things and head to Florida to start our training.

"You're a fucking suck up." Seth Sneers at me and I roll my eyes.

"Hey!" Dean slaps Seth's arm.

Seth doesn't respond after that and I smirk at him and hook my arm with Dean's as we walk to the parking lot.

"Are you excited to go home for a bit?" Roman asks as I snuggled up to him in the back seat of the SUV we were taking to the airport.

"Super excited, feel like I haven't seen the family in ages." I grin at him. When I was six years old my mom passed away suddenly, leaving my dad a widower and a single dad with a job that required him to travel quite a lot. As luck would have it my dad was very friendly with a man who was well known as Rikishi. He didn't have room at his house for me but his uncle Sika did. Sika Anoa'i is the father of Leati Joseph Anoa'i who is my best and has been since I was six years old.

While dad was working twenty something days in a month I lived with Joe, his brother Matt and his parents Sika and Patricia Anoa'i who I lovingly call mama. For as long as I can remember the McMahon, the Fatu and the Anoa'i family have been there for me. All of them ridiculously supportive and loving to me and my father. My dad wouldn't be here if it weren't for them, and for that I owe them everything.

"Dad can't wait to see you, he set up your room and everything." He murmurs in to my hair.

"Get a room!" Seth called from the front.

"Fuck you." I grumbled back as Roman leaned forward to slap his head.

"Cleo language!" Seth snickered.

"Seth you are possibly the most immature person I have ever met! Grow up!" I snap angrily and snuggle back up to Roman.

"Cleo Marie!" I smiled brightly as I was met by Sika in the airport terminal.

"Hi pops." I giggled and hugged him tightly as I dropped my bags by my feet. For the past twelve months, since i had joined the main roster I had basically been living out of three huge suitcases. One houses all my wrestling gear, which was the smallest of my bags. My second suitcase house my winter clothing and my shoes and the third belonged to all my summer wear. "I've missed you!" I tell him and hug him tightly.

This man was my rock when my dad wasn't around, he was second father. "I've missed you too baby girl." He let me go and kisses my forehead and then moved on to his son. "Joseph." He smiled broadly at Roman and hugged him just as tight as he had hugged me.

"Hey pop." He chuckled.

"Jonathan, good to see you again!" He shook Dean's hand.

"You too pops." i giggled, pretty much every one called him pops.

"Colby." I watched curiously as Sika embraced Seth in a warm hug and was surprised that Colby hugged him back. Ok, so I know he's not incapable of being friendly, i just don't understand why he loves my family just as much as I do but hates me. It sort of drives me insane.

"Let go Jonathan!" I giggle as Dean grabs one of my bags and hooks his arm around mine.

"Certainly Cleo Marie." He grins back at me and we start to walk. I laugh loudly as Dean looks back over his shoulder and says. "Keep up Colbert."
