A/N: This story was previously published as 'Love At First Sight/We Belong Together'. I've decided to revise it. Tell me what you think.
Starts after Extreme Rules 2013.
Tori POV
I was helping my step-mother by running her errands. I got her lunch, now she wants me to give some documents to another producer before he leaves for lunch break.
I go from speed walking to sprinting down the hall. I turned a corner and fell on my butt. I look up to see Roman Reigns staring back at me.
"Are you okay?" Roman asked.
"Yeah I'm fine. Just in a hurry." I replied.
Seth kneeled down and helped me gather the documents. I thanked Seth and walked past Dean, who appeared to be annoyed.
Dean POV
After the interview, we went to the arena to prepare for Smackdown. Tonight, I am wrestling against Kofi in a championship rematch.
When we arrive at the arena, a producer says that Stephanie and HHH were awaiting our arrival and wanted to speak with us. I don't think we did anything wrong... yet.
When we enter the room, Stephanie rises off the couch and greets us.
"Hunter and I have some ideas for The Shield if you would like to hear them." Stephanie said, smiling.
"Okay. Let's hear it." I said.
"Steph and I think there should be a fourth member of The Shield. But not another superstar..A diva." Hunter said. "It's perfect because we can form all types of storylines from this. What do you guys think?"
"It sounds very interesting. But who would the diva be?" Seth asked.
"Well she's new and hasn't wrestled on Raw yet. She is done with training in NXT and ready for the big leagues. Her name is Victoria and we want to surprise her with this news, that's why she isn't here. We want to start this storyline on Monday." Steph responded.
"Okay so what's the plan?" I asked.
"You interrupt her match and recruit her. It's as simple as that." Hunter said.
(5 Days later)
Tori's POV
Today is Sunday. The Authority wants to meet with me about tomorrow. Probably just want to tell me who my opponent is and stuff like that.
I entered the conference room and was momentarily shocked. The Shield were at the table. I just sat at the end of the table.
"I called you all here because I want Tori to work with the Shield." Stephanie said.
"It will gain ratings, hopefully. And that's what's best for business." Hunter added.
I couldn't believe my ears. I just nodded and listened to everything they were saying.
"Tori, Sandra is working on a Shield attire for you. I want you to go to the arena and practice the barricade." Hunter said.
Seth's POV
We all met up at the arena after working out. Tori stared at the barricade.
"Do I have to?" Tori asked.
"How else would you get to ring, cupcake?" Roman asked.
Tori pointed to the ramp.
"No, The Shield enters through the crowd." I said.
Tori grunted. She climbed over the barricade using the chair.
"Not bad." Roman said. "Could be better though..."
Tori kept practicing until it was perfect.
(Monday Night Raw)
Normal POV
"Higher" blasted through the arena. Tori wore gold attire similar to Eva Marie's. Kaitlyn and Tori made their way to the ring.
"The following divas tag team contest is set for one fall. Introducing first, Kaitlyn & Tori!" Lillian Garcia announced.
AJ Lee & Tamina made their way to the ring afterwards. The timekeeper rang the bell and the match started with Kaitlyn & Aj.
The girls locked up and Kaitlyn backed AJ into a corner. Kaitlyn tossed her around a bit before Aj gained some offense and suplexed Kaitlyn in the ring. Aj made the tag to Tamina. Tamina had Kaitlyn up for the Samoan Drop. Kaitlyn elbowed her and made the tag to her partner, Tori.
Tori rushed in with a series of punches before clothslining Tamina. She successfully delivered a Michinoku Driver and prepared for her finisher, "Lights Out", which was a Chick Kick. Before she could pin Tamina, "Special Op" played in the arena.
The Shield marched down to the ring quickly. Tamina and Aj escaped swiftly. Kaitlyn was about to bail also but Tori seemed to be petrified. Kaitlyn left without her.
"What the hell is Tori doing?" JBL shouted on commentary. "Get out of there!"
The Shield circled the ring and entered. At this point, Tori was crouched in a corner, still scared by the sight before her. Dean Ambrose approached her and offered his hand. The crowd booed The Shield. Then Tori hesitantly accepted Dean's hand.
He guided her to the center of the ring while Seth got a microphone and passed it to Dean.
"Hi beautiful." Dean started. The booing got heavier. Dean got on one knee. "I'm Dean Ambrose, that's Seth Rollins and he is Roman are The Shield. We fight injustice in the WWE. The Divas divison needs justice, but we need a female counterpart to serve it." Tori looked confused and Seth and Roman smirked.
"Will you join The Shield?" Dean asked. Tori reached for the mic "..Yes.." was Tori's response.
Tori just watched as The Shield put their fists out.
"BELIEVE IN THE SHIELD!" Roman exclaimed.
