Chapter 5: Proposal
Summary: Furno's about to propose, Nyx is in a high school concert, Ajax can barely be seen in the video, Raptor has a fever, Carson Michaels likes Krispy Kreme, Shawn Michaels has...the talk, and Dean Ambrose is just there.
Special thanks to Daughter of the Mist for allowing me to borrow her OC, "The Heartbreak Chick" Carson Michaels, for this chapter.
It's more like a video narration
The camera showed Furno Moxley, wearing a leather jacket, a House Targaryen shirt, torn jeans, and white sneakers. He was dusting himself up a little before speaking.
"Ajax, are we rolling?" he asked. Ajax showed his thumb to the camera to say yes. "Okay," Furno started. "what's going on, everyone? Furno Moxley here, I've got the New Shield with me. Ajax is holding the camera and Raptor is over there, dealing with a fever."
Ajax points the camera to the left at Raptor Reigns, who was playing Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 while lying down on the bed. He was wearing whatever outfit his older brother Roman Reigns would wear in public as the camera points back to Furno.
"Nyx is preparing for this small concert she's going to do at her old high school, and that's the thing because...I'm finally going to propose to her."
"Yay!" sound effects were heard in the video.
"About bloody time!" Ajax yelled from behind the camera.
"Yeah, I know." Furno smiled. "So, basically, we told her we couldn't go to her concert because Raptor obviously has the fever. So, let's get this thing going. We're supposed to meet up with her cousin, you may know her to be WFA's Heartbreak Chick, Carson Michaels, at the nearest Krispy Kreme along with HBK and my adopted brother, Dean Ambrose."
"I can still walk, bro." Raptor groaned. "It's a mild fever, so I'll be fine."
"Okay, basically what's going to happen is," Furno started. "Nyx thinks we won't be showing up for the concert, so what we're going to do is exactly right after the concert, Ajax will get into the sound system and play her favorite romance song, which is 'Love Story' by Taylor Swift. That's when we all pop up from backstage."
"Obviously, we have to time it, though." Ajax pointed out. "Too early, and it wouldn't be a surprise. Too late, and it wouldn't be as epic as we hoped."
"That is true. So, we're gonna plan it out at the Krispy Kreme. See you guys later." Furno said, pointing at the camera.
"We're here at the Krispy Kreme." Ajax pointed the camera at himself as he also showed Furno and Raptor drinking water along with HBC herself. "So far, we ran into Carson. Everyone else still isn't around." he explained.
Carson waved at the camera and asked Ajax. "I thought your girlfriend was coming over too?"
"Alena's back home in L.A." Ajax replied. "She won't be able to make it."
"That's sad. Can we get donuts?" HBC asked randomly.
"What? I'm on bit of a diet." Ajax said.
"Let's get donuts." Furno agreed with his future cousin in law.
"Me too." Raptor said.
"Damnit, guys." the Ghost Fox silently cursed.
The video switched to outside the Krispy Kreme, where Ajax pointed the camera at Furno, Raptor, and Carson eating donuts.
"Okay, so these guys got really hungry and now they're eating honey dipped donuts, which is one of the plainest ones we found in the place." he explained.
"Hey, you took one too, you know!" Furno retorted, his mouth still stuffed with donuts.
"Eating or talking, bro." Ajax said. "Choose one."
The Ohioan kept silent at that point. The video now showed a pitch black background with the words "Ten Minutes Later...". After that, they were back in the Krispy Kreme, with Dean Ambrose and HBK.
"We got the Lunatic Fringe and HBK here, baby!" Ajax said. Dean and Shawn both look at the camera and nod.
"Tell 'em what's up, boss." Ajax pointed the camera at Furno, who was playing video games on his phone.
"Everyone's here, but Nyx's concert hasn't even started yet." the Ohioan explained. "So, we're just gonna hang around here for a bit. Cue the montage."
The next few seconds show a montage of them eating more donuts, signing autographs, and walking around. It briefly cuts to a shot of Carson signing an autograph with donuts still in her mouth. The montage continues. This time, it stops briefly at a shot of Dean and Furno taking a picture with a young fan. The montage continues one last time before it stops at all six of them standing in front of Nyx's old high school. Furno is the one holding the camera this time.
"Looks like it's gonna be the main event later." he said.
"You guys go ahead." HBK said. "And Ambrose, I'll give your little brother the talk."
"Ooh! You in trouble, bro!" Raptor snickered, an ice pack still on his head.
So, Dean, Carson, Ajax, and Raptor all go in the high school while Furno stayed outside with Shawn. The former was still recording.
"Yes, sir?" Furno asked.
"I know, I know," HBK started. "I've never been the best uncle for Nyx since I never realized she was my niece until one of my brothers told me about it. But, still, she's part of my family. I cherish her as much as how much I cherish Carson as my daughter, and you better treat my niece well. Have you and Nyx argued at some point?"
"Umm...when I first saw her kiss a girl in a bar. That was last year. Another time was when we first met. I may or may not have stepped on her guitar."
"Yeah, well, she's weird. Like everyone in this world." the Hall of Famer continued. "It's that weirdness that makes her special. It's why you chose her over everyone else. Over girls like Noelle Foley and even Emma."
"I have dated Noelle before."
"For a year, but that was years ago. Main point is, cherish her greatly, no matter what."
"Of course, I will."
"And...are you still filming?" HBK asked.
"Pretty much." Furno replied.
"Never mind. Let's go."
The video now shows the six of them walking around backstage during Nyx's concert. It briefly pauses as some text in the foreground now said,
"We asked some of Nyx's friends to film a part of her concert so we can put it in the video like...now."
The video now shows Nyx singing "Decode" by Paramore in front of her old high school friends in the amphitheater.
A fast forward transition now shows the POV of a camera within the crowd showing Nyx with a microphone on stage, saying, "Thank you guys so much for listening!"
Before she could say anything else, "Love Story" by Taylor Swift started playing (Ajax got the Against the Current cover). Nyx instantly becomes confused as the lyrics started,
We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes and the flashback starts
I'm standing there on a balcony in summer air
See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns
See you make your way through the crowd
And say hello
Little did I know
That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles
And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet"
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you, please, don't go
And I said,
"Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting, all that's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story, baby just say yes"
Furno slowly walks out to the stage at the end of the chorus as all of Nyx's old friends and classmates go wild. The song continues to play. Ajax was holding the camera as he filmed what was going to happen from behind the curtains with Raptor, Dean, Carson, and HBK. Nyx instantly sees what was going on and starts to tear up. Right as Furno got close enough, she breaks and starts crying as Furno hugs her. The video starts to switch between the POV's of Nyx's friends' cameras and Ajax's camera.
"Hey, baby girl. I love you so much. You mean the world to me." he began to speak. "I know, we're not the best couple in the world. We've had our arguments, our fights, and most importantly, our differences. I mean, while DDP and Lita taught you your moves, I had to fight for my life everyday 'til I met Stone Cold. Thanks to him, I am who I am now. Thanks to him, I met you for the first time in Chaotic Wrestling. We reigned as champions together, but sadly, it was only until we, and Ajax and Raptor, signed for the WFA that I realized that I truly loved you. Main point here is it would be a blessing to be with you for the rest of my life, even if we only dated for about...six months. So..."
Furno gets down on one knee and presents a velvet ring box. In it was an intricate silver ring with two gems: one black and one white.
"Adeline Kelsey Hickenbottom, will you marry me?"
Nyx didn't have to do anything else. She nodded vigorously, saying "Yes." repeatedly. The spectators cheered as the Texan high flyer accepted the ring and now, the two New Shield members kissed as the others exploded into cheers from backstage. Furno and Nyx stop kissing and the latter starts to cry tears of happiness on her fiancé's chest. Furno held her close as the video now showed Ajax's POV.
"Oh My God, you guys lied to me for all this?" the Mad Angel asked the Lunatic Renegade (or the Madman from Hell, whatever nickname you want for Furno).
"No, Raptor really has the fever right now." Furno replied as Ajax pointed the camera at the Samoan, who still has an ice pack pressed against his forehead. Raptor put his thumb up.
"Congrats, bro. You're on your way to being like me." Dean said to his adopted younger brother as they hugged. Furno later hugged Carson at the prospect of them being cousins in law soon and even HBK, despite "the talk".
"By the way, you got the Against the Current cover?!" Carson exclaimed to Ajax, pointing an accusing finger at the California native.
"Mini Big Dog over there sent me the link!" Ajax replied, pointing his finger and the camera at Raptor, who was laughing despite having a fever.
"Raptor..." Furno sighed.
"Admit it, uce. Chrissy Costanza is F.A.B.U.L.O.U.S!" Raptor retorted.
"Not cool, bro, even if you are the only single guy out of all of us." Ajax sighed. (Furno and Nyx, and Ajax is dating Alena Volkova of the Syndicate of Darkness)
"GROUP HUG!" the Lunatic Fringe exclaimed as all of them got together for a group hug, Ajax somehow squishing the camera in the middle of the pile.
The video transitions to the New Shield and HBC back in the hotel room, with around three pizza boxes all around them. No one was holding the camera this time.
"Okay, Dean and HBK had to go." Furno began to explain. "So, without further adieu, that was...fun."
"I still can't believe you actually got Raptor to walk around with a fever." Nyx shook her head, still wearing the ring on her finger.
"Okay, that's it for the latest video..."
"On MY channel." Nyx interrupted Furno, who continued to speak.
"Special thanks to obviously, HBC over here, as well as pretty much every single one of Nyx's friends whom we asked to film parts of her impromptu concert. Stay tuned because some of my old WWE colleagues have some reactions for that."
At this point, it's just some WWE Superstars and personnel reacting to the engagement.
Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns were backstage at a live event. Rollins is holding a cellphone camera. "Hey, Furno, congratulations on your recent engagement. Best wishes to you and your beautiful fiancée. By the way, tell Ajax I said hi.". Reigns just grunted "Congrats, mini Ambrose. Tell Raptor I said what's up."
Sasha Banks was filming in a hotel room from her phone. "We never really ran into each other in the WWE, but still, congratulations, Furno. I hope you and Nyx have a wonderful life together. You better Bank on that."
Renee Young was shown in her home, using a camera mounted on a kitchen counter. "What's going on, Furno? It's been a while since we last met. So, I hope you have a great future ahead of you. And please, get your New Shield and make some appearances here on the WWE. I know you guys are busy with the WFA and all, but please!"
Daniel Bryan was sitting in his office as someone was filming him. "Hey, Furno. The last time we met, you were the wild child protege of the Shield. Now, you truly struck out as a top level star even more. Congratulations on your engagement. Brie says hi, too." Brie Bella comes up from behind Bryan's chair and waves at the camera.
I could go on, but I'm too lazy and I'll end the chapter right here.
