"I'm so excited for this trip to Australia!" Desiree beamed, which lit up the plane filled with WWE Superstars and Divas. Desiree wasn't sitting next to her normal plane buddy, Colby Lopez. But, she was sitting next to a man, who is the perfect substitute for that position, Brad Maddox.
"I'm guessing you don't get out often?" Brad assumed and raised a brow at the intern.
Des nodded no. "Nah, I really don't." she responded, like it was normal for her not to travel often. Well, it was normal that she would respond that way. Desiree is a socially awkward sixteen year old girl and often, she hates to get out of town.
"I think that this is my first time going to Australia," Brad pondered for a moment. "Anyway, how has interning for The Shield been working out?" Brad asked, changing the subject.
"You were right—they all have warmed up to me and I think…" she looked at The Shield, who sat across from her and Brad. "I have three yeses from them." she coiled a smile at him.
"I hope you get your three yeses. If not, I'm going to march up to Stephanie and get you to do something. Maybe like being my assistant for the school year, but, that's if they say no. I know you'll get your yeses. I like having you around; you're as awkward as me." Brad coiled a smile back at Desiree.
Des laughed. "I like that you're awkward. You should never change yourself to please others. Someday, us weirdos will take over the world." she rested her elbow on the arm of her chair and grinned.
"Yeah…" Brad scuffed. "Tell me when the revolution of the weirdos happens." he laughed dryly, while looking at his phone.
"Hey guys, what's up?"
Desiree and Brad locked eyes on a petite brunette by the name of AJ Lee. Desiree wanted to fan girl scream so badly—the temptation to scream was killing her. The last time that Desiree had seen AJ was in Orlando for the grand opening of the training center for the NXT Superstars. AJ had asked her to take a photo of her and Paige. Without even thinking, Desiree pushed Brad out of his seat.
"What the heck?" Brad questioned, confused over Des's reaction to seeing AJ.
Des paid no attention to Brad and focused on AJ. "If you want a seat, this one is open." she pointed at the seat, in which, she pushed Brad out of.
Brad rolled his eyes. "What was the purpose of pushing me out of my seat? There's one on your left side." he pointed to the seat on Desiree's left side.
Des turned her head to the left side. There in fact was an empty seat next to her. She then turned back to Brad awkwardly. "Oops, my bad." she laughed dry and awkwardly.
AJ let out a giggle. "It's fine…Desiree?" she guessed. All she knew of this girl standing across from her was that she met her along with Paige in the grand opening in Orlando.
Des nodded fast. "Yes. I'm Desiree!" she exclaimed, which startled AJ.
AJ wanted to move on to Des's outburst and asked. "Umm… can I join you guys?"
Brad got himself up and dusted himself. "Sorry about Desiree. She still doesn't know how to react to Superstars." he chuckled and Des stuck her tongue at him. "Real mature, Des." he said.
"You can join us." Des calmly responded and motioned for AJ to join her at the seat on her left side. AJ and Brad took a place in their respected seats. The three interacted on the entire flight and talked about some of the strangest topics. At some point, Desiree showed them her shrimp on a Barbie—literally; it was a plastic shrimp on top of her blonde Barbie doll.
Desiree and The Shield made it to the autograph signing the next morning in Melbourne. Desiree was tired as hell, but she had to pull through to be the best intern she knew that she could be. Des and Jon wore matching leather jackets and Colby and Joe wore matching Shield t-shirts. Des wanted them to be coordinated when it came to the clothing. When The Shield went to sign autographs for their fans, she stood by the security guards behind them. Jon then motioned for Desiree to come to him.
Desiree approached Jon. "I need another sharpie, can you get me one?" he asked her.
"Sure thing." Des smiled and went to get him a new sharpie. When she got him a new sharpie—this one, you pressed on the top and the point came out, she found him with a teenage girl, she must have been about Desiree's age—blonde, blue eyes, pale skin and thin. The girl had been waiting for an autograph for not so long, but she did give a stink eye to the intern.
"Is she your girlfriend?" she asked Jon disgusted.
Jon smiled and looked up to Des, who smiled back. "She's my friend." he told her.
When Des heard the word friend, angels sang in her head. She didn't even know that Jon considered her a friend, but she knew for sure now, that they were friends.
"What does your friend do, Dean? Why is she even with you? She doesn't look like the girl that you would be seen with." her tone of voice came off as bitchy.
Desiree didn't like this fan girl. No one ever asked her about her reasons of being with The Shield so rudely. This girl seemed a little delusional and it wasn't because she rubbed her the wrong way. And besides, did this girl assume that Des was at least eighteen years old? Come on? To quote The Miz, really?
"She's an intern for The Shield. What's it to you?" Jon asked her, respectfully.
"Oh nothing, it's just she's…" the fan girl paused and looked at Desiree strangely. "I think you can finish the sentence." she smirked at Jon.
"She's pretty?"
Jon, Des and the fan girl turned their heads to Colby, who said the compliment.
"You think that, Seth?" the fan girl asked him baffled by his comment.
Colby nodded yes. "Of course, inside and out." he smiled at Desiree.
Desiree couldn't help but smile, it wasn't everyday that she would receive a complement on her appearance or inner beauty, especially not from Colby Lopez of The Shield.
"She's also very intelligent. That submission essay was genius!" Joe interjected into this discussion.
Intelligent was a typical complement that she would receive from adults but, it did mean a lot to her that it came from Joe. She was amazed how these scary, talented and handsome men were standing up for her.
The fan girl glared at the men. "I can't believe that you're standing up to her. I mean, she's nothing. She just wants Dean!" she claimed.
Desiree giggled at the words coming out of the fan girl and Jon motioned for security to come and they did, they took the fan girl away from them as she yelled at them. Des and The Shield looked at the other fans in line, who watched the interaction of the fan girl and The Shield.
Jon looked awkwardly at them and clicked his sharpie, so that the point can be revealed. "So, who's next?"
Desiree was sitting by the barricade where The Shield used to enter the ring. Desiree sat there by herself and observed Colby and Joe take on Team Hell No. Jon was in the opposite side of the ring, but kept a good eye on her, while maintaining his character at ringside. Desiree could feel someone screaming at her ear. Desiree turned around and was face to face with someone that she'd never expected to be facing.
It was the delusional fan girl from the signing this morning.
"I want you to stay away from Dean Ambrose. He's mine." the fan girl told her angrily.
"What are you talking about?" Des asked her in disbelief.
"Stay away from Dean, you trash!" she spat at her.
"No." Desiree flat out said and tried to focus on the match that was going on.
"He doesn't need girls like you. He needs someone that will actually love him." the fan girl was more crazier than AJ Lee.
"You know?" Des turned back to face the fan girl. "It would be illegal for us to date." Desiree pointed out. She always had to throw in a smartass comment and this girl needed one.
"That probably hasn't stopped him." the fan girl snarled at Desiree.
"You're delusional." she slammed at the fan girl and tried to move her steel chair away from the crazy fan girl, but the fan girl grabbed Desiree by her long, black hair and slammed her head first against the barricade.
"I'm not done with you!" she informed Des angrily.
The fan girl jumped over the barricade and began to attack Desiree. Desiree really did try to fight back, but being a recovering anorexic, didn't provide her with enough strength to fight back the best she could. Desiree's shrieking caught Jon's attention.
"Des!" he yelled and rushed to Desiree.
And with Jon's yell, Colby, Joe and Team Hell No, stopped the match in confusion and didn't know how to respond to breaking up a girl fight. But, it was too late to stop it, as the security came to pull the fan girl away from Desiree; the fan girl was able to deliver a punch to Desiree's jaw, knocking her down to the ground.
Poor Desiree! Who ever expected that to end that way? This chapter was kinda influenced when a fan gave a low blow to Randy Orton in a house show and I figured, what if there was a angry, jealous Dean Ambrose fan girl that was jealous of Desiree and Jon's relationship?
