Hey guys and gals. I have started a new story starring Dean Ambrose *swoon* and my OC Avery Thompson. I do not own WWE or its affiliates. And as always, please read and review. Danke shchoen!

AVERY'S POV

I remember the first time I ever met Dean Ambrose. I was asked to conduct a backstage interview with the three mystery guys who attacked during the Triple Threat match at Survivor Series. To be honest, none of the other interviewers wanted to do the interview, due to being too intimidated by the men. I had known these interviewers ever since I started in WWE and they were used to dealing with intimidating people, like Ryback, Big Show and Mark Henry. Since I was a woman and unable to be intimidated by anyone, I decided to put on my 'big girl panties' and do the interview. I had no idea that this interview would change my life.

The backstage manager escorted me to an empty conference room where the camera and audio crews were waiting, along with the three guys. They politely introduced themselves as Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose. I couldn't help but notice how different their personalities were. Seth was very talkative and outgoing, as was Roman. Dean was more quiet and reserved, occasionally nodding when the audio techs were putting on his mic. I gave him a sincere smile, hoping he would loosen up a little. To my surprise, he returned the smile and gave me a wink, making me giggle internally. Soon it was time to start the interview. The director cued me in and I went into 'reporter' mode.

"Avery Thompson here and I would like to welcome my guests at this time. They are the three mystery assailants who interfered in the Triple Threat Match for the WWE Championship at Survivor Series. First of all, could you start by introducing yourselves to the WWE Universe?"

"We are Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose, collectively known as 'The Shield'. We are here to make sure justice is served in WWE. Our involvement at Survivor Series was our way of sending a message to the rest of the WWE locker room."

"And what would that message be, gents?"

"We do not stand for injustice and believe us when we say that there has been a lot of injustice in the WWE. To everyone out there watching, we only have one thing to say: 'Believe in The Shield!'"

"And if people don't 'believe' in you guys?"

"They'll find out when they get into the ring exactly what happens when you don't 'believe'."

With those words, the interview was over. The director yelled 'cut' and we relaxed.

"It was a pleasure meeting you three, especially you Dean. I guess I'll see you around."

They said goodbye to me as I walked out of the room. Soon after, the camera and audio crews thanked them before leaving.

DEAN'S POV

I watched as Avery left the room, her curly raven hair bouncing from side to side as she walked. As soon as she was out of sight, I whistled under my breath.

"I know, right?" Seth said, putting an arm around my shoulder.

I gave him a weird look before shrugging his arm off.

"What's that supposed to mean, Rollins?"

"Dude, you couldn't take your eyes off of her the entire time she was in here. And don't pretend that we didn't notice."

"I don't know what you're talking about. I was not looking at her the entire time!" I argued.

"Fess up, Dean-o. You obviously like Avery." Roman chimed in.

I opened my mouth to continue our argument, but then shut it quickly. They're right, I thought to myself. I DO like Avery. But does she like me?

"Um, Earth to Dean! Quit your daydreaming and let's get to our places!" Seth shouted, interrupting my thoughts.

"Huh? Oh yeah, our match! Sorry about that, guys. I was just-"

"Thinking about a certain raven-haired girl?" Roman teased, bumping my shoulder.

"Ha ha ha...very funny, guys. You've missed your calling as comedians!" I joked.

"C'mon you two! We got an Irishman and a Viper to punish!" Seth said.

Roman and I nodded, then followed Seth out to our entrance positions.
