Chapter One: Before WWE

Hypnotic's POV

I was working my way up the ladder in NXT. My first step towards WWE and I knew I would be the next big thing over there. I knew how to wrestle and I have been working on this career for 8 years. I was not an easy person to get along with and the guys always tried to be my boyfriend I always turned them down. In NXT my best friends were Paige and Emma but we fought just like all the Divas.

There was a guy in NXT named Dean Ambrose and he was crazy. Dean was always talking to himself in the ring and also he would hit himself in the face in matches. Every girl wanted to be with him except me I did not really like any of the guys in NXT. Dean, Seth, and Roman all were in NXT at the same time I started. If I had to pick one of them I would pick Dean. He had shaggy brown hair but not as long as Roman's or Seth's. Dean was average build for a wrestler but something about him was different from the rest. I could tell he wanted to talk to me but he saw me shoot down every single guy in NXT so he did not even bother to try.

I was the NXT champion for almost 5 months before Paige and I had a huge match. She defeated me fair and square and I was happy for her. We were best friends and she loved the competition. A few months later Dean, Roman, and Seth left to go to WWE. I watched his matches they were a group together and they seemed to dominate WWE and the Divas over there did not seem like much of a competition. While Dean was still here I would catch him looking at me all the time.

About a year later The Shield was still dominating the WWE and Paige and I were back and forth with the title. The last match we had she won the title back and then she was pulled to go to WWE and she won the Diva's belt over there from AJ Lee. I had a match with her after that and got my title back but a month later they sent me to WWE.

Dean's POV

I was in NXT and it was so fun; I loved to wrestle. I would get any girl I wanted. All the divas wanted me. I had some good matches against Seth and Roman but we were friends. I loved working with almost everyone in the ring but there were a few opponents that just made me crazy like CM Punk when he was there. I acted crazy a lot but that's why they called me crazy I guess.

One day this beautiful girl walked in and she went by the name Hypnotic. She had shoulder length black hair and blue eyes. She stood out more than any of the other Divas and she turned down every guy that tried to get with her. She would always say that they were not good enough for her. So I thought that I would never have a shot so I just left her alone. I would look at her all the time and I turned down every girl after she came to NXT.

Hypnotic became the champion and I was so happy for her but I could not bring myself to congratulate her because she was different from the rest of the Divas. Hypnotic would not just sleep around with any wrestler that asked her to and she was impossible to be with because she never gave any one a chance. Paige got the title then and after that Seth, Roman, and I had been promoted to WWE. We became the best group in WWE. We dominated everyone and I was hoping Hypnotic was watching me because I really had a crush on her.

About a year later Paige came from NXT so I talked to her to see if Hypnotic was still working with NXT and if there was any sign when she would be coming to WWE.

"Awww does Dean have a crush?" She laughed a little as she said that.

"No I just know she has talent to be here" I almost started to blush but I was able to hide it.

"Well from what I know, she will be here soon and after you left she always watched your matches" she said and then walked away.

I started to blush after she walked away. I was hoping Hypnotic was watching. Roman and Seth even asked if she would be joining us in WWE soon. I told yes and about 2 weeks later we had to go to the writer's office to discuss a new comer.

"What's this about?" I asked. Seth and Roman looked at the writers inquisitively.

"We have a Diva coming from NXT and we think she would fit into your group which would open up The Shield to do mixed gender matches" one writer answered.

"Which Diva is it?" Seth asked and I looked at him. We were hoping it was Hypnotic because she had more talent than most Divas.

"Oh you should know her but we don't want to ruin the surprise, so for now, all you need to know is she was in NXT the same time you guys where" Then the writer pointed to the door and said, "Have a nice day."

We walked out of the office and we knew that there was only one real Diva that could fit into the group and it was Hypnotic. I was hoping it was her. Seth and Roman hoped so too but they do not know the real reason I want to work with her not yet at least.

A week after we talked to the writers I asked Seth and Roman if I could speak to them privately. They looked at me confused and then followed me to my hotel room.

"What is it Dean?" Roman asked.

"I think I am in love with Hypnotic so if she is the one we are working with don't try to get with her please." I said and then looked away in embarrassment.

"Dude she is fair game until she says she is your girl and I am going to try to get with her since she is so hard to get with" Roman said looking at me.

"I will try to respect your request Dean but I can't promise that she won't fall in love with the architect of the Shield" Seth said and I realized telling them all of this was a mistake.

"Do whatever you guys want then but if you guys think for a second I will back either of you up to her then you are wrong" I walked out of my own room, to take a walk I was so pissed off that they couldn't do this one thing for me.

We had a few matches this week and we didn't work out that well together. People started to think that The Shield was going to fall apart but I got on the mic.

"I am the lunatic fringe of The Shield and these two are my brothers. We will never fall apart no matter your beliefs and what you think will happen. Seth is our architect and he helps keep us together. While Roman is the power house and is a big part in tearing everyone else down. And you better believe that." I was said and then we all said

"Believe in The Shield." and the audience once again chants for us and believes we will not be splitting up.

But if Hypnotic were to be the Diva that would be joining us, I was not going to play nice. And I will try my hardest to get her to be my girl.
