A/N #1: Did any of you by the chance watch Smackdown last week? That match between Daniel Bryan and Dean Ambrose was great! Although, I freaked out a bit when I saw that the bottom of Dean's eye was cut. Thank God, he's okay because now he has to turn his attentions to Kofi Kingston and capturing the U.S. Championship! :)
"Dad, we need to talk," Camille said to her dad and put her phone on speaker.
"What's up, pumpkin?" Shawn asked his daughter casually.
"Listen, I need you to be really honest with me, can you do that for me?"
"Of course, I'll do whatever you say."
Camille took a big gulp, "Did you tell Dean Ambrose to stay away from me?" she asked him strictly.
"In fact I did, I felt like he was just using you to benefit his career." He informed her.
Camille's face expression finally became anger, "You have absolutely no right at all to threaten my friends like that-"
Shawn stopped Camille midsentence in anger, "Honestly, when a man looks like that, I have full authority to decide what is best for you, even though, you might not be in the same boat as I am."
"To be quite honest, he has treated me decent, even after all the crap you gave to him!" Camille yelled to her father in frustration.
"I probably scared him up straight. This is the reason why he's acting the way he is acting. Camille, do you honestly believe that this guy is going to make you happy?" Shawn asked his daughter, trying to get inside her mind to convince her to think straight.
Camille clutched her hair in pint up frustration, but paused in hesitation, "I don't know. Dad, but you have no right to threaten him the way you did. It's my love life, not yours."
"Camille, I can't argue with you over the phone. Let's continue this discussion in St. Louis. I think we need to get some sleep and think about things before we go arguing." Shawn advised his daughter in a calm tone.
"Alright, goodnight." Camille said before hanging up her phone, looking down at the ground.
"Are we ready to head back to hotel?" Camille looked up and saw Dean by the door.
Camille gave a small smile, "Yes, sorry about what you heard." She said, referring to the argument with her dad.
"Umm… that's fine." Dean awkwardly said, trying to move on from this. He approached Camille and put his arm around Camille, just like Phil used to do with Camille and walked out of the locker room.
It was Saturday morning and Camille was walking to her appointment with Stephanie and the WWE creative writers. Camille was dressed in a short black and white dress, (white with tiny ruffles on the upper part of the dress and black and pencil like on the bottom), paired with some leather white pumps and her hair curled. Camille had intentions of confronting the WWE creative writers to finally have say in her storylines. She really wanted to show them that she was ready to push the envelope with her character. This is what Camille wanted. Dean Ambrose was with Camille and he was dressed more casually than Camille. Dean just wore some blue jeans and a black shirt, with a baseball cap, which was on backwards. Dean had his left hand on Camille's back rubbing it as Camille was taking deep breathes, nervous about her appointment. Dean and Camille came to a stop when they were just by the door.
"You'll be fine, trust me." Dean looked at Camille's diamond blue eyes, trying to console her.
Camille continued to take deep breathes, "When are you never wrong about these things?" she scuffed, softly punching him in the gut.
"I'm always right, Princess." Dean chuckled, darkly before grabbing Camille's hands and kissing them. "Just trust me, everything will be alright."
Camille tried to hide the pink that were appearing on her cheeks, she tried to hide her blushing. Dean opened the door to the room, having his arm open, giving her permission to enter the room.
Camille walked into the room, with such confidence, Dean was right behind her and she saw Stephanie in front of the room and a bunch of creative writers around the rectangular table. Camille took a deep breath and came closer to the room and Stephanie took a seat, giving Camille the time to express her concerns.
"I just wanted to thank you for letting me have all your time. I know you people are so busy drawing down ideas for RAW and Smackdown. But, I have to get something out of my chest…" Camille said in a poised way before giving a small cough and then continuing. "For two years, you have been having control and say about what I do in storyline. I know all of you see me as this beautiful blonde and you have portrayed me as that beautiful blonde, damsel in distress… whore. But, you should know that I am growing up and I can't continue not having my opinions expressed. It's time that I have a word about the storylines I get put in…"
"Did your dad give you permission to do this?" asked the head RAW writer, David Kapoor.
Camille turned her head to the head RAW writer, "Do I need my dad's permission for everything?"
"No, it's just that your dad ordered me to keep you away from big storylines." David pointed out.
"My dad told me two years ago, when I am 18, I am allowed to decided what occurs in my storylines." Camille told all the creative writers. "And I'm almost 19 so… it's about damn time that I take control."
Dean grew a smirk from the corner of his mouth, amused about Camille taking a stand for herself. Dean actually found it pretty sexy to be quite honest. This is the Camille Dean knew she was capable of becoming.
"Camille, I'm happy that you're finally taking a stand, but are you sure you want to take control of your WWE career. Your dad strictly told us to keep you away from the intense storylines."Pat Patterson told Camille in concern.
"Pat, as much as I respect you. I don't care what my dad told you. This is my storyline. This is my WWE career." Camille told Pat.
"Ms. Michaels." Camille turned to Ed Koskey. "As Smackdown's head writer, I don't know if I want you to change your whole persona." Ed said.
"Ed, my mind has never been so sure than it is right now. I need my storylines to be turned up a notch." Camille told Ed, enthusiastically.
"I thought we all agreed on you joining The Shield and being a power couple with Dean Ambrose." Eric Pankowski informed Camille as Camille turned to him.
"You see, I don't know if I want that to occur now. I have no problems with Dean Ambrose or the rest of The Shield members. I'm afraid that they'll be downgraded if I were to join the faction." Camille crossed her arms across her chest and looked at the creative writers as Dean approached her and wrapped his arm around her shoulder.
"What do you have in mind for your character then? Do you not want to join The Shield? Do you not want a storyline with Dean Ambrose?" Brian Gewirtz, creative consultant asked.
"I want to focus on my storyline with Kaitlyn and when I win the title, I would like to be in a storyline with Dean, that won't involve me in joining The Shield… just be Dean Ambrose's girl." Camille nodded her head and smiled at Dean, who smiled right back.
"I don't know Camille; we've all had our hopes of the storyline we had planned right now." Stephanie inserted herself into the discussion.
"I know, but I feel like we should go another direction with this storyline. I feel like three storylines shouldn't happen at once with me. I already have one being Kaitlyn's secret admirer, I have another one with the Diva's Championship and just adding the one with Dean Ambrose and the rest of The Shield is going to be too much."
"Just be happy that you are getting camera time. We trust you enough to insert you into a storyline with one of the best fractions in a while and you want to drop all of that for a chance to be champion for a dead division?" David Kapoor raised his voice in disbelief.
"I am not dumping all the storylines. I want to focus on my intentions and that is being booked Diva's Champion, then you can put me in a storyline with Dean Ambrose and maybe The Shield, depending how things work out." Camille told David.
"And what happens if I don't?" David asked Camille in a sly way.
Camille leans forward to David's face, "I'll make sure to tell all the other Divas that you called their division a disgrace."Camille pulled away from his face.
"Or I'll make sure to tell the entire locker room to scapegoat you for all the shitty storylines." Dean interjected in a cold and bitter tone.
"Are you blackmailing me?" David chuckled at Camille.
"I don't consider it blackmail. I consider it helping the Diva's Division, the division you called dead." Camille reminded David.
"Alright, Camille; you need to stop." Camille turned to Stephanie, who tried to gain back control of the conversation. "We'll take you changes under consideration." Stephanie told Camille as she smiled.
"Gentleman, Stephanie, thank you for your time." Camille nodded and she and Dean walked out the door as David Kapoor just glared at the door the exited from.
It was Monday and Camille had a match against Layla tonight. She was preparing with Dean, who also had a match tonight. Dean had went to get them both some water bottles and Camille was just stretching in The Shield's locker room.
"Here's a nice, cold water, for Princess Camille…" Dean teased in a British accent.
Camille snorted as she chimed in an British accent, "Well thank you, you good man." She accepted the water bottle.
"These accents would have been appropriate in England." Dean pointed out to Camille as he stuck his hands in the front pockets of his pants.
"We could have walked around England, using these accents. We could have ridden the London Eye." Camille face started to glow up. Dean thought she looked beautiful tonight, even though she is in her wrestling attire. Hell, Camille always looks beautiful to Dean.
"We could have done that! We need to get out often!" Dean laughed.
"How about tomorrow night? We can go out dancing!" Camille suggested enthusiastically.
Dean snorted arrogantly, "I don't dance, Camille."
"Come on." Camille got in a dancing frame with Dean, who tried his best frame. "We don't have to be good. We just need to keep the attention off us." The pair started to waltz around the room giggling and laughing, especially when Dean missed a few steps.
Dean stopped the waltzing and looked directly into Camille's eyes, "Alright, let's go dancing. But, I don't think we're going to go out unnoticed."
"Maybe, or maybe not, we'll have to see."
Camille and Dean were lost in each other's eyes again. They don't know how they end up like this. To Dean, it's kind of lame how a gorgeous girl like Camille hasn't been kissed yet. Dean wanted their first kiss to be special, even though he may even think it is lame. To Camille, she has been waiting for Dean to make the first move. Her mom has always told her that the man has to make the first move. Call Camille old fashion, but she wants the moment to be special. Dean goes and leans over…
A knock on the door appears as Dean snarled in frustration, that didn't go unnoticed to Camille. The tech guy popped inside the room, "Camille, you're match is up next!" he informed the daughter of the Heart Break Kid.
Camille walked out of the door with the tech guy, leaving Dean alone, like what has happened before.
Layla was already in the ring getting the fans hyped up for the Diva's match. When Off with Your Head by Icon for Hire bursts out of the speakers. The crowd of cheers transforming to a crowd of boos as Camille walked out in pink leather ring attire, consisting of pants and a matching leather bra, mocking the fans.
"And her opponent, from San Antonio, Texas… Camille Michaels!" Justin Roberts exclaimed.
"And here's a young Diva that has been on a bit of controversy as of late surrounding The Shield." Michael Cole informed to the WWE Universe.
"I am utterly confused about what occurred last week. If Dean and Camille were to end up together, they would be the most interesting couple in WWE history." JBL beamed to his fellow commentators.
"Well, if you missed RAW last week, this is what we're talking about…" Jerry Lawler said as it automatically went to footage of last week with the highlights of Dean and Camille's encountering.
The camera goes back to the ring with the two Divas fighting, while still being able to hear the commentators.
"Let me just remind you that just a few weeks ago, Camille won a Battle Royal to become number one contender to the Diva's Championship." Michael reminded everyone.
"Camille's our next Diva's Champion. There is no Diva that is interesting to watch other than Camille." JBL beamed to everyone around him.
"Camille is really talented. I'll give her that, but can she fit that glass slipper when she faces Kaitlyn, it will even surprise me. Camille has surrounded herself with the right people from Punk to her dad and possibly now The Shield?" Jerry said, questioning.
"If we're referring to Cinderella, does that make Ambrose her prince charming?" Michael asked Jerry.
"Michael, how the hell would you know about fairy tales?" JBL questioned Michael Cole, with his voice rising.
"That is none of your business! Get back to the match!" Michael yelled, avoiding answering the question.
Towards the end of the match, Layla was covering Camille, who kicked out at two. Layla grabs Camille by the hair, and rams to the corner, with her face clashing to the pole. Camille laid there in pain. Layla goes and retrieves Camille, but Camille kicks her mid section and begins to fight back, throwing punches. Camille bounces off the rope and delivers a dropkick to Layla and quickly goes for the cover. Layla kicks out at two. Camille signals for the end of the match. Camille grabs Layla and connects with Sealed with a Kiss, a Snapmare Facebuster, and covering Layla for the three count. Camille's theme begins to play as she gets up and has her arm risen in victory, before asking for mic and her theme fading away. Camille is in the center of the ring as the crowd boos her.
"My mind has been on what occurred last week. I realized it was immature of me to hit Dean Ambrose with a steel chair and kiss him. I have the assumption that it confused a lot of people and it even confused me when Dean Ambrose returned the favor back. I guess what Roman Reigns said was right; I am a little girl that can't get over her crush. I figured that I am just making them stoop down to my level. Ever since The Shield had made their presence felt by harassing me, I have gained some feelings for Ambrose. But, I suppose that I should just leave them alone and let them do what they believe in. I want to focus on becoming the next Diva's Champion and Kaitlyn, if you're the one that thinks you're having love issues, think again. I am woman enough to let go of something… I suppose you should just let go of that Diva's Championship you're holding…"
Camille dropped the mic as her theme played again as she walked up the ramp backstage. Dean was watching everything from The Shield's dressing room. He was smiling in pride. This Camille was better than the old one, this Camille was sexier, and this was the Camille, he was determined into making the move tomorrow night. Camille walked into the dressing room and Dean ran and hugged her.
"You nailed that!" Dean whispered to her, proudly.
"Thanks to you," Camille whispered back to him proudly embracing his hug.
"You saw the segment?" David Kapoor, the head writer for RAW asked someone through his cell phone, while watching the show, from a secret location. "Good, Camille Michaels and Dean Ambrose are going to be a power couple, possibly outside the ring too. They might actually be more of a serious problem though. Two days ago, Camille decided that she wanted to take control of her storyline. And she and Ambrose thought they could threaten me?" David chuckled quietly. "Camille doesn't know what's coming to her, asking to push the envelope in her storylines. She's just going to end up with a lot of regret. Camille is just a naive little girl… she's just under Ambrose's spell of manipulation. If she thinks this storyline is going by her terms, then she is damn wrong. When it comes to her storyline on RAW, it's going to be my terms. Don't worry; we'll bring Camille Michaels back to reality. First, we got to expose her relationship with Dean Ambrose and to tell you, her old man isn't very fond of him. When Camille's broken, Ambrose will be broken. This will teach them a lesson…" David Kapoor explained to the mysterious guy on the phone of his plan.
A/N#2: Oh no, seems like Camille and Dean have gotten themselves in a little world of trouble. If any of you aren't sure who David Kapoor is, he is the head writer for RAW and he is mostly known for being the Great Khali's translator. I had a hard time writing this chapter. I wasn't getting the feel of it when I was writing it for the first time. Happily, I got the chapter out! This chapter was called All Grown Up and it was inspired by Stephanie McMahon's old theme. What will happen the next chapter? Will Dean finally make his move? Will David Kapoor have the upper hand? You all will have to find out!
