One thing, in here Rachel ONLY acts like canon when she is at home, or if she is with family members. I'll let you see what she acts like in school, or in public. Second thing: Santana and Quinn are "out" lesbians and they rule WMHS and everything else is the same on that side of the earth. Rachel is not in Glee yet. Nobody knows her yet, except for Kurt and Mercedes. That's it. You may now read the first chapter :D

(Six years ago)
Rachel Berry had always liked stars. Even as a young girl, watching the stars from inside her room underneath the moonlit sky was something she enjoyed. Slowly her fascination turned into an activity that she would spend countless hours in. In fact, she enjoyed watching stars so much that on her eight birthday she asked both of her fathers to take her to an astronomy museum and take a tour of an observatory. The young girl squeeled loudly, hugged both of her fathers when and a stream of 'Thank you's and 'I love you's came out of the girl's mouth when they said yes.
And so, on a cold a cold and snowy December eighteen, Rachel and her dads spent a day looking at many globes, the solar system and a few replicas of comets or asteroids that had any contact with the earth's crust. When the family of three visited the observatory, they were taken to a tour around the place. Their guide was a Puerto Rican man who seemed to be in his late thirties. He said his name was Juan, but he wanted the group to call him J. J was a very energetic and talkative man. He seemed to genuinely like to show the fairly large amount of people in the place he worked at.
Meanwhile, Rachel looked very happy, and her face had a face splitting grin on it. She was also more energetic than the usual, which brought smiles to her father's faces. While the guide led them up to see one of the large telescopes they used to view the stars, the large group had passed by a large steel door on a long hallway they were going through. Rachel was curious about what was on the other side of the door, so she asked the guide, "Sir? What's behind that door? It looks quite tough" The guide stopped walking and looked at Rachel, then back at the door. "In there, little, Missy" he said "is a rock from space that crash landed a couple of miles from here yesterday. We were lucky that it landed with most of its body intact, and that the atmosphere didn't just burn the whole thing down before it landed. It's going to be transferred to another, more advanced facility by this afternoon for closer examination" Rachel's big brown eyes widened. "Really?" she half shouted half asked. The guide smiled and nodded. "Can I see it?" said Rachel. J's smile faltered by a fraction. "Sorry, Missy, but employees are the only ones allowed in there. Let's move one now, shall we?"
Rachel pouted. She really wanted to see the comet, but before she could say anything else, her dad, Leroy, spoke "its okay, Sweetie, we already saw a lot of comets today, remember?" Rachel looked up at the large black man. "But Dad! Those weren't real! They were just replicas!" Leroy sighed. He noticed that the group was moving further and further ahead. He looked at his husband for help. Hiram Berry just shrugged and gave him a small, apologetic smile. Leroy couldn't help but glare at the small Jewish man. Finally, Leroy looked at his small daughter and knelt so that they were facing eye to eye. "Sweetie," he said softly "I'm sorry but we can't go in there right now. The only ones allowed in there are people who work here" Rachel's eyes started watering and before she could say anything else he daddy, Hiram, put his hand on her tiny shoulder to get her attention.
"The group is leaving us behind" he said, motioning towards the group that went farther and farther down the hall.
Rachel stopped crying to look down the hallway where the group was going. The two men noticed that the thought of getting in the room was put out of her mind. She grabbed both of her parent's hands and tugged them forward. "Hurry! They're leaving us behind!" Both men shared a smile and followed their daughter, who was running towards the tour group, but unbeknownst to them, the young girl never forgot about the comet on the other side of the steel door.
One hour later the tour was finally over. J led the group back to the front lobby and the Berry's started walking back towards their minivan. Just when Leroy opened the door, Rachel tugged on one of his huge hands. He looked down at his daughter with a questioning look "What's wrong, Sweetie?" The little girl didn't say anything, but Rachel pointed towards the building they just came from. "I need to pee" was all she said. Leroy looked at his husband for a moment and nodded. He gave him the keys and said "I'll go with her" before he started walking back to the building.
When Rachel and her dad were inside the observatory, Rachel walked towards the washroom that was closest to where the comet was kept. "Uhh, Sweetie? Where are you going? The washrooms are this way." Rachel kept walking towards the washroom she knew that would be two more turns away which confused the large man, but Leroy started following his daughter anyways. When they reached their destination, Rachel finally turned around and looked at her dad. "I can go by myself now, dad" then she turned back around and walked inside the women's washroom. Leroy stood there for a couple of seconds staring at the spot where his daughter stood a second ago, but slowly a smile began to grow on his face. 'She is getting older' he thought before heading towards the men's washroom 'might as well go myself'
When Rachel went inside the washroom and waited for a few seconds before she slowly opened the door again. When she didn't see her dad standing there she opened the door fully before bolting towards the direction of the room where the comet was held. Rachel new her dad enough that whenever he was anywhere nears a toilet, his bladder would act up and he would spend hours using it. 'Gross, but very useful at a time like this' the little girl thought with s small smirk.
Yeah, she's a rebel.
Rachel found the corridor in no time, but just as she rounded the corner the door opened to reveal their tour guide from just an hour ago. He wasn't alone either; there was another man in a lab coat and two more men who looked like they lifted heavy things from the day they were born. J, their tour guide, was talking to the man in a lab coat while the two huge men followed behind quietly.
"Keep the door open. It helps the air circulate in the room. The comet is producing too much heat. I'm afraid that it will make all the machines in there overheat." said the man with the lab coat. J nodded while the man kept talking and walked towards the opposite direction. Rachel waited for another minute for them to turn the corner, before she walked silently towards the open door. Rachel's body was tense with excitement. She couldn't believe that she was finally going to see a real comet! When Rachel was by the door, she leaned her body over, and walked inside the room.
The first thing Rachel noticed was the red light spread all around the room. The second thing she noticed was the temperature. It felt like she was in an oven slowly getting cooked to golden brown. The girl giggled at that last thought, but just as she straightened up again, she saw the source of the red pulsing light that covered the whole room. Right in the middle of the room, was a rock sitting on a pedestal. It looked like a giant piece of cheese, but instead of it being yellow it was ash grey. There were many different sized holes on it and a red glow coming from within. Rachel could also see a faint red mist coming from it, and in closer examination, Rachel could see a thin layer of crystal-like thing around it, making it look very exotic and beautiful at the same time. The little girl was mesmerized by the beauty of the rock.
It almost looked magical.
Rachel took a step forward. She reached out to touch the exposed rock. Rachel wondered what it would feel like under her fingertips. Excitement flooded through her again. She tip toed and reached up. At this point, the young girl didn't notice that someone else entered the room and just as she reached up and touched the rock, she heard a voice from behind her yell.
"NO!"
And then, everything was black
So…. Don't forget to REVIEW! I'll take any constructive criticism and anything along those lines :D
