This is inspired by a conversation with Captain; kudos to her for giving me (intentional and some not-so intentional) prompts and editing. And I figured I pick on Roman enough, so why not harass Dean a bit? Takes place Extreme Rules: before and after. Spoilers to that paper-view as well.

And just a shout out to SkittlezLvr79; I hope you feel better. :)


I know something you don't know: a time, a date, a place for a resurrection.

Dean ripped the yellow post-it note off the locker room door and pushed his way into the room. He walked over and dropped his duffle bag on the ground.

Ambrose, forget something?

Dean scowled at the bright pink post-it note, sticking to his bag. No, he thought to himself; I didn't forget nothing. Who was trying to screw with him? Was it one of the other guys just ribbing him?

All day, Dean had been finding these obnoxiously colored sticky-notes wherever he went in the arena. He didn't know who was leaving them: it was beginning to get very annoying. None of them were particularly helpful, and the majority of them were tauntingly vague and irking him.

Dean ripped open his duffle bag, muttering under his breath about gutting the person who kept leaving these notes with a spoon. He groaned when he found another (only this time, bright lime green) post-it note.

You sure about that, Mr. Fringe?

Dean crumpled up the note and chucked it towards the locker room door. In the process, he hit Roman in the face as the large Samoan was just walking in. Roman shot Dean a bewildered look as the crumpled post it fell to the floor and he continued walking over to his brother.

"What's up, Dean?"

The Lunatic nonchalantly shrugged one shoulder. "Just getting ready for my match with Jericho." He pulled out his wrist tape to find another purple note.

I know something you don't know.

Dean audibly growled and ripped it off the tape.

"What's that?" Roman asked, a bit concerned at his brother's outright anger at the post-it notes..

Dean scowled and handed the note to Roman. "I got no clue. I've been finding them everywhere today. In catering, in my duffle bag, even on the fucking urinal in the men's bathroom!"

Roman frowned. "Weird. I wonder who's pranking you… Who have you pissed off recently?"

Dean gave Roman a somewhat serious look before answering, "No one?"

Roman raised an eyebrow in disbelief.

Dean sighed. "Okay, no one new? I piss off everyone, so who knows?"

Roman rolled his eyes at his brother's antics. "Well, I need to go and meet up with Jimmy and Jey to practice our spots for tonight, so I'll see you after."

"Did you seriously just come in here to check up on me?" Dean asked suspiciously.

Roman smiled. "Course, I did, little brother. You really have to ask?"

Dean good-naturedly rolled his eyes and bumped fists with Roman. "Good luck tonight, Uce."

"You too, bro."

Roman turned to walk out, and Dean's eyes zeroed in on the blue sticky-note on the large man's back.

Aren't you curious?

Dean growled angrily irritated, but shrugged in defeat. Roman would figure it out, eventually.

In the hallway, Roman immediately ran into Intern Eve.

"Did Mr. Fringe suspect anything?" She giddily asked while clapping her hands together.

Roman shook his head. "Not a thing, babygirl. He has no clue you're giving him hints about Seth's big return. Thanks for doing this for me."

Intern Eve sheepishly grinned. "It's my pleasure. I almost felt bad about the giraffe onesie, but you were collateral damage, so this will make us even. After this, I owe you nothing, Mr. Reigns. Ambrose gets punished for taking my parking space, and for causing you to be humiliated. And I get to partake in my favorite pastime!"

"And what's that?" Roman asked, slightly wary of the young woman's response and a bit frightened to know the answer.

"Messing with people. It's great." as Intern Eve let out an evil cackle that would have made any psycho murder or evil movie villain proud, "BOW DOWN TO THE QUEEN!"

Roman scratched his beard a bit concerned about Intern Eve's mental stability. "...I'm... uh… I'm just going to go…" He quickly left the evil, cackling Intern.

One AJ and Roman main event later...

"You asshole!" Dean screamed as he pulled Seth into a tight bear hug. "You didn't tell me you were coming back tonight! Hell, I was starting to think I wouldn't see you until next month. Man, those dirtsheet postings were incredibly incorrect."

Seth grinned and hugged him back. "I didn't tell anyone, really. And really man, dirt sheets? You should know better!"

Intern Eve. "I told you I knew when he was coming back, Mr. Fringe. I left you 27 post-it notes today, telling you exactly that."

Dean growled with rage as he tried to make a grab for Intern Eve, who stood smirking just out of Dean's grasp. "THAT WAS YOU!"

Seth held back Dean as Intern Eve stuck out her tongue and made faces at the Lunatic. "Don't kill the intern, Dean… That'll get you suspended."

Intern Eve grinned after getting her just desserts on the Lunatic and pointed to Roman. "It was all his idea."

"ROMAN!"


Also, I'm a little disappointed there was no unicorns or gold light for the Sethie return, but I'm also just glad to see him back. All hail to Crossfit Jesus!
