Chapter 2: Debut Party

A/N: So here's the next chapter in this little tale. Sorry it took so long to get out, but I did have other stories I was working on. I do have this chapter and another chapter plotted out, so it won't take long for an update next time. Thanks to all of those who have read and reviewed thus far. Your kind words mean the world to me.

Roman Reigns had a smile on his face after they exited to the backstage area. Their debut had gone off without a hitch and the fans had been surprised. They had entered through the crowd and attacked everyone in the ring, showing that they were the new force in town. The elation Roman felt was beyond words. He looked to his teammates and saw that they were happy about their debut too.

"That was amazing!" Seth exulted. "Did you see the crowd's faces?"

"They couldn't believe what was happening," Dean added. "I loved it."

"We definitely hit our mark," Roman agreed. "Now we just have to keep it up."

"Hey, I think we need to celebrate our big debut," Dean suggested. "Let's go to the best bar we can find and live it up!"

"We can't stay there all night though," Roman warned him. "We have to catch our flight at ten to go to the next show."

"You're such a killjoy, Reigns," Dean scoffed. "Live a little, okay?"

"I'm in," said Seth. "Tonight's our night to celebrate."

"That's what I'm talking about!" yelled Dean, slapping Seth on the back.

They left the arena and came to one of the biggest bars. As they entered, they saw that many fans recognized them and cheered for them.

"Hey, it's those guys who interfered!" one of them yelled. "Come have a drink on us!"

Dean obliged and let the fan buy him and his brothers some drinks. Roman only drank two beers, but Dean and Seth had more than that since they were so happy about their debut.

"Guys, take it easy," Roman cautioned. "I don't want you to get in trouble by the cops."

"We're fine, Roman," Dean reassured him. "Hey, watch this." He marched to the window, lowered his pants, and exposed his bare bottom. "Believe in The Shield, bitches!" he yelled, wagging his butt for all to see.

Roman was horrified and immediately grabbed Dean and pulled him away from the window. "What's the matter with you?" he demanded. "Do you realize you could go to jail for doing that?"

"The cops won't get me," Dean bragged. "I'm famous now! Lighten up, Ro." But he pulled up his pants anyway to placate the bigger man.

Seth started laughing. "Dean, you're a character," he said.

"I've always been a character," Dean told him. "How come you haven't noticed it before?"

"I never really paid attention to you," Seth admitted. "I just saw you as one of the guys in the back."

"I think we all felt that way," Roman said. "Things have changed now."

"Damn right they have," Dean agreed. "Well, I guess we'd better get back to the hotel before Ro here has an aneurysm."

They said goodbye to the fans and made their way back to the hotel. Dean regaled them with some stories about the wild high school parties he had been to back in the day and Seth contributed with some of his own. Although Roman was the only one of them who had gone to college, he had never been one for the party life, mainly because of his football career and how he didn't want to taint it with wild partying.

"Ah, Roman, always the good boy," Dean teased. "Well, we'll have to remedy that."

Roman rolled his eyes. "I doubt that will happen," he said with a smile.

"Maybe not, but we can try," Seth said.

They got ready for bed and arranged that Dean and Seth would share while Roman had a bed all to himself. Roman made a quick phone call to his wife to let her know he was safe and to tell his daughter he loved her. Then he hung up and settled into bed. Dean and Seth were still whispering together, but gradually, they fell asleep too. Roman smiled. It had been a good night for them, and he hoped that there would be more good nights for them to come. They were just getting started as The Shield, and it was only a matter of time before they really made an impact on the business and on the fans. With one last smile at his new friends, Roman drifted off to sleep.

A/N: This one was a bit short, I know, but that's all I could think of. Plus we're getting freezing rain so I wanted to finish this before the power went out here. Feel free to leave a review and have a shelltastic day. The next chapter will be coming out soon.
