What happens when you dreams don't come true?
What happens when not only do your dreams not come true, but the complete opposite of what you wanted for yourself in life is YOUR life?
This applies to both one young Quinn Fabray and one Rachel Berry.
Rachel had always dreamed about being on Broadway. She had taken class after class to prepare herself for it. Dance (ballet, tap, modern, acrobatic, you name it,) singing classes, music theater classes, stage presence classes, class classes. She had starred in every single community theater musical that had been put on in the community center as the leading role, never giving anyone else a chance at the spotlight. Rachel had wasted away her childhood to pursue her dream, had spent her summer days in the dance studio, perfecting her ballet positions instead of lazily swinging on the swingset in her backyard. She was so driven and motivated, her classmates thought her weird and a freak, and completely shunned her. By the time she was in fourth grade, she found herself friendless.
Of course, back in kindergarten, Rachel was really popular. All the other kids thought her really funny and nice. However, over the years, the kids slowly began to leave her side, until, in the middle of third grade, she only had one friend.
Her name was Quinn Fabray.
However, Quinn got frusturated that Rachel never wanted to do anything she wanted to do, instead preferring to practice the arts instead. Of course, Quinn loved to sing and dance, and was almost as talented as Rachel in that area, but she wanted to play games, such as tag and house, with the other neighborhood children too. So, during the summer between third and fourth grade, Quinn left Rachel too. Rachel sobbed in her dads' arms that night, and they told her that Quinn and the other kids were just jealous of Rachel's talents, and told her to just ignore them.
And from then on, Rachel was even more determined on her career, if that was possible.
Quinn had always dreamed of the perfect life that she would have. She was captain of the Cheerios to please herself, and she was president of the Celibacy Club to please her parents. She was the prettiest, most popular girl in school, and she was dating Finn Hudson, the quarterback of the football team. She had big plans for her future. She was going to go to Harvard University for college. She was going to study to be a lawyer. She'd get a good lawyer job that paid a lot, and she would win every case. She would marry a good looking man that loved her a lot, a brain surgeon, perhaps, or an award winning author. They would have a huge wedding in a nice church. There would be white roses everywhere, and Quinn's white wedding dress would be made of the finest, most expensive silk. There would be over five thousand guests, most of them famous and rich people. Quinn would lose her virginity on her wedding night, and she would quickly become pregnant with a son. After the birth of her son, she would quickly bounce back to her pre-pregnancy weight. She would also get pregnant again with a daughter, and once again, she wouldn't be fat for very long after giving birth. She would live in a big house, with her children, husband, and faithful border collie. Both of her children would be blond and extremely well behaved. Her children would grow up, and give her grandchildren, many grandchildren, each being cuter than the next. Finally, at a ripe old age Quinn would die, and in the local cemetery, her grief stricken children would erect a monument to her, reaching up to the sky, made of pearl, going on and on about how she was the greatest person to ever live.
However, life rarely goes as people plan it to.
It's just a fact.
