'Miss Bella,
This is a formal invitation to join The Shield. You don't have to answer right away, the offer will always be on the table for you, and this isn't an offer we've given anybody at this point in time. Roman, Seth, and I are all in agreement that we can take you places in your career that you haven't been before. Like, for instance, a championship. We're well aware that you've been in this business for damn near four years, and have yet to touch the gold, yet both your sisters have. We view this as an injustice, and we want to right the wrongs of the business by guiding you to the Diva's Championship belt. We're not saying that you're incapable of getting the gold on your own, but it would take longer. Think about that.
We're not going to stalk you, or try to scare you into joining us, since you're an adult and can make your decisions. You've got the hunger for the gold, you've got the skill, and you've got the look. Think about how you'd look surrounded by Seth, Roman, and I. Pretty fucking good, if I may say so myself. We have the tag match Friday night, I want you thinking about how it feels to be in The Shield's corner.
Think about it,
Dean Ambrose'
She read through the note in the car with her sister's on the way to the arena for SmackDown.
"What are you looking at, Casey?" Brie asked, looking back from the passenger's seat.
"It's nothing important." Casey responded immediately as Brie parked and her older siblings looked at her, not believing that it wasn't important.
"If you say so." Nikki sighed as they all got out and grabbed their bags. "So I was thinking that we'd go with the black, since we're teaming with The Shield and they wear black."
"Makes sense to me." Casey mumbled as they made their way through the arena to their locker room. "We get our own this time?"
"You're sharing with us." She heard Ambrose call behind them and Nikki huffed.
"Don't be pervs about it and we'll be okay." Brie stated and the three men nodded.
"We won't be pervs about it at all." Rollins assured and the Bellas nodded as they entered the room, Reigns holding the door open for them. They set their cases on the opposite wall and Casey made her way to the door to get their gear.
"Can one of you go with her?" Brie asked and the three men looked at her confused.
"Her ex is a dick and we'd feel better knowing somebody was with her to keep him away." Nikki explained and Ambrose stood and headed out the door after the youngest Bella.
"You're with me, why?" She asked and he shrugged, shoving his hands into his pockets.
"Is it so wrong to want to escort a beautiful woman and make sure she's alright?" He defended and she rolled her eyes.
"I thought your asshole reputation couldn't be tarnished?" She asked with a smirk and he looked down at her with a smirk of his own.
"Eh, you're special."
"How? I'm just-"
"Casey!" She heard Randy call and Dean rose an eyebrow as the older man neared. Orton was her ex? No way. "What the fuck are you doing with trash like Ambrose?" Randy asked and Casey could see the aggravation on both men's faces. Dean's shined through his eyes more than anything, but Randy's anger was more than evident.
"Why the fuck does it matter, Orton?" Dean asked, pushing Casey behind him. "Keep going, sweetheart, I'll catch up." She nodded and hurried to where everybody's ring gear was kept and found the ones Nikki said she wanted. When she found all of their gear she turned and was chest to face with Dean and gave a slight yelp.
"I wasn't expecting that." She mumbled and he chuckled.
"I'd say that I'm sorry, but that was adorable."
"What happened to Randy?"
"I told him to back the fuck up before I beat the shit out of him." He explained simply and she nodded.
"Thank you. I could've handled that myself, but thank you."
"Not a problem, sweetheart."
They were quiet for the rest of the walk to their locker room and entered to see Roman and Seth dressed in their gear and laughing with Nikki and Brie. They took their gear and without a second's hesitation stripped down to their underwear and Dean couldn't help but admire the view he got of Casey until Roman smacked him upside the head and reminded him to get dressed.
"Case, are you being a prude tonight or are you going to the club?" Nikki asked and Casey sighed.
"I'll be at the club. I need to get my Brie Mode on." She joked as she slid her leg warmer things on and received a gentle punch in the arm from Brie.
"You bitch." Brie laughed and Casey rubbed her arm.
"Brie Mode?" Seth asked with a raised eyebrow and the sisters laughed.
"When Brie gets drunk she becomes a totally different person and we call it Brie Mode, because she gets really aggressive." Nikki tried to explain and Casey saved the day.
"It's a play off of 'beast mode'." The men 'ohh'ed and the three Bellas began to do their stretches. "Do we have some kind of game plan or what?"
"We were just going to work the isolation game to our advantage and tag regularly. You guys work the isolation game well, so we figured that wouldn't be a problem. But you've gotta be willing to help us out when we need it. We'll help you in whatever ways we can, as well." Roman explained and the three nodded.
"No selfishness." Brie stated and the five others nodded before they all shook hands before they left- The Shield went up to the audience entrance and The Bellas went to gorilla, every one of their opponents but AJ Lee had been announced already, so the Bellas were basically by themselves because they weren't fans of AJ in the slightest.
"They seem really nice, I'm gonna invite them to our thing tonight." Brie stated and the other two nodded, Casey having already known that Ambrose would make an appearance.
"You and Dean would make a cute couple, Case." Nikki mused, playing with Casey's hair and earning a playful swat from the younger woman.
"That's not the first time I've heard that." Casey mumbled as AJ Lee's music started and Casey looked around, seeing Randy lurking in a corner.
"Don't focus on him, Case. You've got bigger and better things to worry about." Brie tried to soothe, seeing how visibly tense she was. Casey only nodded as The Shield theme blasted through the arena, meaning that the final entrance of the night would be the Bella Triplets, and Casey could only hope that she could shake off the bad vibes she got from Randy before she had to go out in front of the thousands in the arena and the millions watching at home.
Ending it just before the match, since I still have to write the whole match, I should have that done and up by tomorrow night, maybe. I guess that would be technically tonight, since it's after midnight right now. I'm not going to delay updates in return for reviews, but it would be awesome if you guys did. Some kind of confirmation that more people actually like what I'm doing, and if you don't it'd be cool to know what I can fix.
