Darren Young walked down the ramp as I stood in the ring with the Shield, standing next to Roman. When Darren got in the ring, I went to ringside.
"You know John, last week I said that Gabby was hating on the Shield, but after seeing the way Gabby looked at Dean back there I'm starting to think her tension is towards him," Cole said.
JBL answered him, "For once I agree with you, Cole, but I'm pretty sure they have already talked it over. No big deal."
As soon as Darren got in the ring, the Shield mauled him. I sighed as Roman speared Darren for the win.
Titus came next and was able to last a little longer then his partner. He soon got triple power bombed and eliminating. As this happened, I shook my head in disappointment.
Dolph came next and was able to take control over them before the numbers game caught up. Dean punched him at the side of the head, then Seth stomped on him. They mocked him for the next few minutes before Dolph started fighting out of it. He threw Roman over the top rope and hit a famouser on Rollins. I clapped as Dolph got hyped at ringside.
Dolph was about to get back in the ring, but got grabbed by Dean and got hit with a dropkick by Seth. Dolph got up, but got ran over by a spear from Roman. Roman got back in the ring as I inched closer to Dolph. The ref. counted to ten and that was the end.
"A count out! You had to win from a count out!" I yelled at them, as Dean looked away. Both Seth and Roman grinned at me.
As Kofi came out and the Shield were distracted with him, I checked on Dolph, "Dolph, are you dead?"
Dolph sat up so he was leaning against the barricade, "I'm fine, you know, now would be a great time for you to run."
I sighed, "I can't."
Dolph looked at me, "Why, they are distracted with Kofi, it would be so easy."
"You wouldn't understand," I muttered.
"Tell me why," Dolph said.
"Fine, but you can't tell anyone, not even Daniel."
"Alright, go for it."
I took a deep breath, "Because if I leave the Shield, then I won't ever get a WWE contract."
Dolph looked at me in surprise, "What."
I looked at the ground, "I've wanted to be a WwE diva my whole life and this is my chance."
Dolph nodded, "Ok, I guess I understand," Dolph stood up and so did I.
I hadn't even noticed that Kofi had got pinned and Dean and Seth were looking at me. I looked over at them as Dolph left me their. I watched him go, then turned back to them.
Rob Van Dams music hit, causing them to look back at the ramp. Rob ran down and was immediately attacked by Dean and Seth.
Rob started kicking them with various kicks as Roman tried to get back in the ring. Rob planted him before he did rolling thunder on Dean and Seth. Dean laid in the ring alone as Van Dam got on the top rope.
Triple H's music hit and the COO walked out. I rolled my eyes and lept in surprise as Roman shoved Van Dam off the top rope. I backed up as Triple H started walking towards Vickie. I stepped right in front of Vickie as the crowd cheered.
"What the hell was that for!" I yelled at him as he glared at me, "You know Rob was about to win, don't want to be embarrassed do you, you egotistical freak!" I yelled in his face as he slapped me.
I slapped him back.
The crowd chanted yes as he looked back at me in anger. Someone grabbed my hand and pulled me away as the crowd booed.
Roman let go of my arm, "Don't do something you're going to regret," he warned as Triple H and Vickie walked from the scene.
I followed the Shield backstage and into Triple H'S office.
The camera showed Vickie and Triple H, "What the hell was that Vickie! Do you realize what you just did? Ten guys helped Daniel Bryan last Monday, just ten. But do you know what happens when you do what you just did? You have ten more guys, then ten more guys. Soon you've got a whole riot on your hands!" Triple H told her.
"I was just doing what was best for business," Vickie explained.
"Best for business.... Vickie, you have no idea. What is best for business is that these guys feel safe. They need clean competition and that's what we're going to give them. You are going to make a match and it will be The Shield vs the Usos... and Daniel Bryan. Go." Triple H said as Vickie left, he turned to me.
I grinned at him as the Shield stood behind me, "How's your face?" I asked.
Triple H smiled back at me, "How's yours?"
"Touché."
"I know that you are aching for a match tonight, so I'm going to give you one when you go one on one with Aksana, tonight," Triple H told me.
"But I'm not cleared...."
"That's your problem," Triple H said.
As he turned his back, I called, "I don't have to! I'm not even signed here!"
He looked back at me, "You're right, you do have a choice. You can fight Aksana tonight, or look like a coward, your choice." he walked away.
The cameras shut off as I looked at the Shield, "What do I do?"
Seth shrugged, "Your choice."
I sighed, "Ok, I will."
"Great, I can come out with you if you want," Seth offered and I agreed, relieved that it wouldn't be Dean.
Roman spoke, "You know, I do have a plan if you want to use it."
"I'll take all the help I can get."
Roman nodded, "Ok, we all know Aksana will aim for that bad shoulder of yours. What if you patched up the other one to make it look like that's the injured one."
"It could work," Dean spoke for the first time, "Just got to make sure not to give yourself away."
I nodded and grinned, "Thanks Roman. Lets go see doc." I said, walking away without seeing if they were following.
Later on.........
"I don't care, Gabby. You shouldn't compete."
I sighed, "Come on, Doc. This plan is great! I really want to rub it in Triple H and Stephanie's face. Please."
The doc. shrugged, "Fine, I guess I can't stop you," he mumbled as he started taping up the shoulder that wasn't injured.
I grinned, "Thanks. You won't regret it."
"We'll see," Doc. responded as he taped around my ring gear, which was a red hoodie that came above my belly bottom and had sleeves that came above my elbows. I had a black sports bra on that sleeves were visible. I wore black shorts, black boots and knee pads. I also had black fingerless gloves with black nail polish.
The doc. finished, the tape was just visible where my shoulder met my neck and a little bit on my elbow, "I could tape up your other shoulder so it's not visible!" he suggested.
I nodded and when he finished I looked myself over, "Thanks."
Later on.....
Aksana stood in the ring, stretching.
"Hello ladies and gents back to Smackdown. We are set for divas action between Gabby and Aksana."
JBL spoke after Michael Cole, "We might have divas action. Remember, Gabby is not signed, which means she doesn't have to compete."
Aksana's music stopped and it was silent for a few seconds.
"I'll guarantee you that she will. Gabby is a tough girl," Cole said.
The crowd started chanting Gabby as it stayed quiet. Aksana looked around and started motioning for them to be quiet, which only made them get louder.

Shield
The Shield's music hit as I stepped out from the audience. I held up my hands and made a spinning motion as I made my way down the steps, tagging hands as I went. Seth followed behind me.
"There she is, Cole! This girl has guts!" JBL exclaimed as I stepped over the barricade and ran around ringside, tagging everyone's hand.
"The question is, is she being brave or stupid? It's no doubt that Gabby suffered an shoulder injury, which is why she hasn't been trying to get matches of late. Aksana will aim for the shoulder," Michael said as I got in the ring and Seth stayed at ringside.
"As you see, Seth Rollins is joining Gabby at ringside." Cole told everyone.
I stood face to face with Aksana as the ref. rung the bell. I circled her, keeping my fake injured arm at my side and trying to fight her off with my injured arm. As she ran forward, I kicked her in the gut and started hammering her with forearms with my right shoulder(my injured one). I ignored the pain in my shoulder and started kicking her while she was on her knees, like my brother does. Sadly, she caught my leg and slammed me against the ground.
She tried to grab into my left shoulder and I kicked her in the chest quickly. I climbed to my feet and backed up to the corner as she started kicking me in my stomach. I tried to block them with my leg, but it didn't work. Aksana grabbed my left shoulder and wrapped it in the ropes and pulled on it. I yelled in pain as she was forced to let go at four. As soon as she let go, she did it again. This time the ref. backed her up completely. I held my shoulder, trying to put on a 'My arms broken' look.
"Aksana now aiming for the shoulder and we both knew this would happen." Cole said as Aksana walked back over to me.
I was just able to get one of my feet up, before going for a clothesline. She fell over as I checked the shoulder that was really injured for a brief second, before picking her up by the hair with it.
"Careful of the hair, Gabby!" the ref. called as I rolled my eyes at him and pushed her against the ropes. I started nailing punches on her. I hit about five before she ducked out of the way and clotheslined me out of the ring.
I flipped over so I would hit on my left shoulder. I yelled in pain, sitting up and holding it. Seth was walking over to check on me, but Aksana started kicking me in the shoulder. I crawled away, but she picked me up and started ramming me into the barricade.
Alright, stop goofing around, Gabby. I thought as she hooked my left shoulder, which made it easier to kick out.
She got my back to my feet and put me into suplex position. I was able to punch her stomach to get out of it. When I was just about to get out, she flipped me into an arm cross breaker.
Great, Roman, now Im going to have two injured shoulders, I thought as my shoulder got stretched.
I got out, but Aksana tried to do a roll up pin. I reversed it into a half crab.
"What a counter!" JBL called, as Aksana started screaming trying to get to the ropes.
"Tap!" I yelled. She made it to the ropes to my disappointment, but I pulled her from the ropes and started elbowing her knee.
"Gabby aiming for the right knee now!" Cole yelled as I continued to elbow it.
12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. The crowd chanted every time I hit it.
I grabbed her by the hair so she was facing me, "If you're going to break my arm, then I'm going to break your leg!" I screamed in her face, slamming her head back in the mat.
"Gabby just got into a whole new attitude," Cole said as I got out of the ring and grabbed both Aksana's feet and yanked her into the corner.
"Don't do this!" JBL yelled as I started ramming her knee against the steel post.
"Get out of there, Gabby!" the ref. yelled.
I backed up from a second before putting her in a figure four lock on the post. The ref. counted to four before I broke it up. I got back in the ring and pinned her before she kicked out.
I glared at her and stood up. I smiled at the audience and they cheered me on. Aksana climbed to her feet and I ran towards her for a spear. She ducked out of the way and luckily I hit my fake injury on the ropes. It still hurt, but I could still move my arm decently.
"Great, counter by Aksana!" JBL yelled as Aksana limped over to me. I ducked out of the way and rolled her up, using my good arm. The bell rang to announce my win as the crowd cheered. I crawled out of the ring and stood by Seth.
"Wait a second!" Michael yelled, "Gabby pinned Aksana with the bad arm! Their is no way she could have held it."
I grinned at the audience and took my hoodie off and threw it over Seth's shoulder before ripping my left shoulder free of tape. My right shoulder stayed taped as I held it, finally able to take care of the pain.
"Wait a sec! Gabby faked the injury! She must have taped her other should so Aksana wouldn't aim for the bad one!" Cole yelled as I took the hoodie from Seth and slung it over my good shoulder.
"You're kidding me!" Aksana yelled in disbelief, she started pounding the mat.
"That's one smart girl," JBL said.
"Nice job, Gabaro," Seth held out his hand for a high five and I high fived him.
"Triple H is not going to be happy," JBL said as I walked backstage.
After commercial......
I walked beside Seth. Roman and Dean joined us.
"Our match is up next," Roman said.
Before any of us could say more, Renee appeared.
"Excuse me, if I could just get a word from Gabby here," Renee said as I walked over to stand by her, "Gabby, not long ago you faced Aksana and beat her, bad shoulder and all. It also appeared that you tricked Aksana by taping up the opposite shoulder. How do you feel?"
I grinned, "First up, I'm going to give credit where credit is due. It was actually Roman's idea," I patted him on the chest as he gave me an alarmed look.
"As for the match, I don't think it was a surprise to anyone really. Triple H thinks that he can take us down, but you are picking the wrong fight with the wrong person," I looked into the camera, "As for Stephanie, I have something to say specifically to you. I will be cleared any day now and when I am........ I want a one on one match with you. No Triple H, No Randy Orton, No Daniel Bryan, No Shield," I motioned to the guys behind me, "Just you and me, that is, unless you're to scared."
I paused and looked back at the Shield before talking into the camera again, "Believe that and Believe in Gabby." I said as the camera cut.
Later on.......
I stood in the ring next to the Shield as they got ready for their six man tag match. I was still I my ring gear, and I had put my hoodie back on. I took a deep breath as the Usos came out.
Daniel Bryan soon joined them, as the crowd chanting yes around us. Daniel climbed on the ropes and started chanting yes. Daniel walked in my direction, but all three members of the Shield stood in front of me. He looked in my eyes and I shrugged. I backed out of the ring and jumped out of the ring.
Daniel and Seth started the match as they locked up. I watched closely as Daniel shoved Seth to the corner and started aiming kicks to his ribs. He threw him against the ropes and knocked him over. He went for the pin, but Seth kicked out. Seth tried taking control, but Daniel put him into a surfboard. I looked at the crowd and made a painful face, which made the first few rows on that side applaud me. I winked at them as Daniel tagged in one of the Usos(let's just say that it's Jimmy).
I backed up from the apron as Seth tagged Dean in. Dean punched the Uso a few times, but Jimmy was able to take control and tag in his brother.
The match started picking up as Daniel got the tags. He drop kicked both Seth and Roman off the apron before aiming punches on Dean. He irished whipped him, but Dean reversed. Daniel flipped over Dean before clotheslining him. Daniel started dropkicking Dean in the corner, then just kicking him. He lifted Dean on the top rope and hurricanes him. Daniel went for the cover, but Roman broke it up.
Dean rolled out of the ring and stood up beside me. He grabbed my shoulder, trying to recover.
I was about to push him away, but he beat me to it. He shoved me right on the ground.
"What was that......" I yelled, but watched as Daniel suicided him right into the barricade. I looked on wide eyed, Dean had just saved me from that.
Daniel pulled Dean back in the ring and put him in the yes lock. He was able to reach the ropes, but got super kicked by both Usos. Daniel did the flying knee for the win.
I watched Daniel celebrate as I sat on the floor, holding my shoulder. I got up and thought about getting in the ring with them
Triple H will never give you a job if you do.
I sighed and stood up and followed the Shield backstage.
...............................................................
I laid down on the bed in the hotel room. Pencil in hand and notebook in front of me. I sighed, erasing a line from a part of my brother's shirt and straightening it out.
"Finally," I breathed, looking at the finished drawing.
"What cha drawing?"
I looked up and saw Dean standing at the door. I ducked away and focused on my drawing again.
Dean sat next to me on the bed, "Can we talk."
"I'll pass....." I muttered, folding the cover over my notebook and setting it on the desk beside the bed.
I felt a hand slide under my chin and it made me look upward. Dean gave me a sad face, "Pretty please."
"If you let go of my face, we'll see."
Dean chuckled and put his hand back at his side.
"Ok, talk," I told him.
Dean sighed, "I want to apologize for everything I said, it was uncalled for and I over reacted."
I smiled, "Oh Dean, I never thought I would hear you say those words."
Dean shrugged, "I guess you're worth it." he muttered.
"What?"
Dean looked in my eyes, "I thought it was the right thing to do."
I smiled, looking down, I had heard what he said.
"So, do you forgive me?"
I looked back at him, "I guess..."
As soon as I said it, Dean laid on top of me and pretty much crushed me into a hug, "Yay!"
"Stop Dean, you are killing me," I choked, but he didn't get up, "This is so awkward!"
Dean chucked and got off of me. I took a deep breath, "That was weird."
Dean shrugged, "I liked it."
I gave him a 'Creepy guy' look.
He just grinned.
"By the way, thanks for pushing me out of the way back their," I said, lightly punching his shoulder.
"No big deal."
"At first I thought you were just randomly pushing me, I was like, 'what the fudge, man'."
"Do you think I would actually do that?"
"Yes."
Dean rolled his eyes and changed the subject, "So, what were you drawing?"
"Oh, just my brother."
Dean grabbed my notebook and flipped to it, "Wow, you're very talented."
I shrugged, "God gave it to me."
Dean handed it back to me, "So, you want to draw a picture of me?"
"Ummmmm, if you pay for it."
Dean turned his back on me, "I see what kind of friends we are."
I sighed, "Ok."
Dean smiled, "Alright!"
I laughed and pulled the bed covered over me, "I need to sleep, time for bed."
Dean got up to walk to the other side of the bed and laid down next to me, "We don't have to go to bed right away. I can think of loads of stuff to do in bed."
I slammed my fist at his stomach.
"I probably deserved that," Dean started coughing.
"Good night," I declared and shut the light off.
...............................................................
"That hurt." Dean mumbled as I hit him in the jaw as he ran towards me in the corner. I rolled out of the way and tagged in Roman, who started aiming clotheslines at him.
"Come on Dean!" Seth exclaimed.
"Go Roman!" I cheered as he got ready for the superman punch.
Dean got up, "Duck!" Seth screamed and Dean was able to roll over and make a tag.
"Your kidding me, I call that a foul!" I exclaimed as Seth climbed to the top rope.
"It's not a rule!" Seth grinned at me.
I smirked and shook the ropes, causing Seth to land on the ropes.........badly.
"Shit!" Seth fell on the ground.
I held my hand out and Roman tagged me in as Seth tagged in Dean. I got in and started kicking. After three kicks, he grabbed me.
"Come on, Gabby!" Dean challenged.
I did an enzugiri on him.
Seth tried to get in the ring, but I ran over and kicked him off the apron.
"That's what happens!" I yelled at him. I fell over as Dean rolled me up for about a three count, then let me go.
"No!" I screamed as Roman got in the ring, "I call rematch!"
"No rematches," Seth climbed in the ring and high fived Dean.
I fell on my back and groaned. I laughed as Dean picked me on his shoulders.
I opened my eyes and saw someone out of the corner of my eye. In fact, there was two people. Brie and Nikki.
I wiped my smile away. Dean set me down and looked over to where I was staring. Seth and Roman did the same.
They walked away a few moments later.
They must have saw me with the three this whole time. Did they think I like this?
...............................................................
Monday Night Raw
All ten superstars who had helped Bryan last week stood on the stage. I stood beside Dean. Triple H and Stephanie started walking down the ramp.
Dean tapped my side for me to back up to let Stephanie and Triple H through and I did as he asked.
"Hey, Dean, watch this," I whispered as the authority passed us.
I grabbed my shoulder and started fakingly grabbing it in pain. The both of them stopped to look at me. I put my arms up and started chanting yes. Triple H rolled his eyes and walked in the ring like nothing happened.
"That looked better in my head," I commented to Dean.
"Welcome to Monday Night Raw!" Triple H exclaimed.
"We are live here in Chicago!" Stephanie followed it up.
I rolled my eyes as Triple H started talking, "What you see on that ramp are the ten men who last week, hoisted Daniel Bryan over there heads and stood united, chanting yes! yes! yes!"
"I know there has been questions about whether you're going to be punished or fired, but we came here for one reason, and that is to say......"
"Thank you," Stephanie finished for him, "Thank you for stepping up to the plate, and most of all thank you for finally being men."
I nodded, she was kind of right.
"Right, thank you for stepping up, because I know that you weren't fighting for Daniel Bryan......."
"Dude," Rob Van Dam interrupted him, "I think that I speak for everyone when I say, we were fighting for Daniel Bryan."
"Really, you were fighting for Daniel Bryan. Last time I checked a WWE superstar didnt fight for the WWE champion, a WWE superstar fought to be WWE champion, I mean, Dolph, do you agree with that. Do you think Daniel Bryan should get another shot at the WWE champion or should you get a shot?" Triple H asked.
Stephanie spoke after him, "What about you R Truth, when the last time you had a chance at the WWE championship, I mean I can't remember, why aren't you the face of the WWE? Zack Ryder, woo woo, maybe you should be the face of the WWE. Their is one reason that collectively are not the face of the WWE and that reason is..."
"The Shield," Triple H finished.
I looked over at the three and saw them all looking at the two in the ring.
"Your showmen of unity last week wasn't for Daniel Bryan, it was frustration towards the Shield, so tonight I'm going to give you the opportunity to take that frustration out. So Darren Young, Titus O'Neil, The Usos, Rob Van Dam, Dolph Ziggler, Kofi Kingston, R Truth, Zack Ryder, Justin Gabriel will get the chance to take that frustration when you face the Shield in an 11 on 3 elmination tag team match."
"What," Dean mumbled so that only I heard it.
I walked over and whispered in his ear, "Remember when I said Triple H will push you under the bus? This is what I was talking about."
...............................................................
Hope y'all enjoyed it.
Looks like the Shield might break up this Monday :(. Even if it happens, you book will continue!
