A/N: The following Grojband fanfic is based on the classic film It's a Wonderful Life. I did NOT rip off It Is a Wonderful Band by Superkamiguru100. It has a completely different premise and it does not take place during the holidays. It actually explains the long hiatus that's currently going on with the show.
Corey stood in the middle of Peaceville in despair. What was once a wonderful town had become waterlogged and in ruins. Why, you may ask? Because the town dam collapsed, flooding all of Peaceville. While the water was successfully drained out, there was still some repairs that needed to be made.
The worst part was that it was all Corey's fault. If he wasn't so desperate to find a new guitar at a low price, he wouldn't have bought a shape-shifting instrument that was bent on destroying the world just to get rid of all the music sources that existed. Corey tried to stop it, but the song he performed was enough to destroy the dam.
So here he was, looking at what was left of his hometown. Loose trees crashed into buildings, houses were ripped from the ground, lakes were filled with debris, and it all looked like the leftovers of a powerful hurricane. Everyone started to take part in cleaning things up, trying to restore their town.
But not Corey. The last time he saw his friends was when he was saying his usual farewell to the magic TV people from that invisible alternate world. He refused to speak to any of them, feeling upset with what happened. Trina also seemed to vanish. Not even Mina knew what happened to her.
Looking at his home, Corey took off his beanie, locks of blue hair covering his tear-filled eyes. "This is all my fault," he thought. "If dad didn't force me and Trina to go to the surface world, none of this would happen!" With that thought in mind, Corey thought about everyone he met in the past seven years. What if their lives were better without him? If he wasn't around, everyone wouldn't have to deal with cleaning up after the flood.
Gazing at the sky, Corey tightly closed his eyes, feeling tears dripping onto his cheeks. "I wish I never existed," he whispered.
"Why?"
Corey opened his eyes. "Hello?" he called out, startled by the voice. "Who's there?"
"That would be me."
Corey was surprised to see a girl standing next to him. She was a brunette and she wore a golden gown. He blinked, recognizing the girl. "Belle?" he asked, putting his beanie back on. "How are you existing? I thought you were fictional!"
"I'm not Belle," the girl said. "I'm a guardian angel. I just happen to look like Belle because you admire her for her brains, and I wish to offer you some smart advice."
"Guardian angel?" Corey repeated. He shook his head. "Oh no, I'm not falling for that. You angels think you can do anything you want to torment beings like me, but you're not getting me to crack. How do I know you're not making this up?"
"Because your grandfather sent me down here to help you," the angel answered.
Corey relaxed a bit. "Grandpa?" he asked. "I thought he was still mad at dad for that rejected promotion."
"He is," the angel answered. "But he still loves you and Trina. So here I am, trying to tell you the world needs you."
"How come?" Corey asked. "Look at what happened to the town! It's my fault the dam broke!"
"Okay," the angel said with a shrug. "Then I better show you why you're important." She raised a hand in front of her, and the town changed right before Corey's eyes. The water damage vanished and was replaced with broken buildings. The sky turned dark, storm clouds blocking all traces of sunlight. Green slimed appeared on the roads, while broken cars were suddenly covered in flames.
"What did you do?" Corey asked.
"Easy," the angel explained. "I sent you to an alternate version of Peaceville."
"So how did it end up like this?" Corey asked.
"I'll answer that with a question of my own," the angel said. "Tell me, Corey. What happens when a human woman gives birth to a demon child?"
"She has a high chance of dying," Corey recalled. "Giving birth to a baby demon takes a lot of energy, so she doesn't usually survive."
"Yet your mother gave birth to two demon children," the angel said. "First Trina, then you. Her survival was the greatest miracle in the Underworld. But what would happen if she didn't survive?"
"What do you mean?" Corey asked in response.
"This is a world where your mother died while she gave birth to Trina," the angel explained. "So technically, you never existed. Your father still wanted Trina to go to the surface world, so she did. But without someone telling her how she could control her powers, she grew up scared and alone in a strange and unfamiliar world." She gestured her arm to the town. "She did this damage because of her uncontrollable powers."
"But is she happy?" Corey asked.
"I will let you see for yourself," the angel said. "Come with me, and I will show you what has happened to your older sister."
A/N: Yes folks, I believe Neptoon Studios isn't letting us see more episodes of Grojband because almost all of the characters are still trying to rebuild Peaceville from the flood that occurred at the end of Six Strings of Evil. After all, it takes a pretty long time to fix that.
