Let Loose

AU! Finchel. Uptight pre-law student Rachel Berry just wants to survive college to follow in the footsteps of her father. When she was little, she dreamed of Broadway, but her fathers told her to be realistic, so law became her new passion. She skips a night of studying to go to her cousin, Blaine's, first concert with his band. She meets Blaine's bandmate Finn Hudson - drummer extraordinaire and college drop out. Their band isn't very good. Blaine knows she has a secret musical background, but he doesn't want to interfere with her law school aspirations, but Finn is relentless. He doesn't give up that easy.

Rachel Berry had always dreamed of being in the bright lights of New York City on the most magical place on Earth, Broadway. Something just told her that Broadway was where she was meant to be. She knew she could be one of the best to ever grace the Broadway stage. Rachel, after all, would be the best singer on Broadway when she got there. Really, there was no truth to that statement, because Rachel Berry never got to New York.

"Daddy and Dad, I'm going to be on Broadway when I grow up. I'm going to be so great they won't know what hit them. Rachel Barbra Berry will be famous- her Dad had interrupted her speech.

"Honey, slow down. You don't really want to be on Broadway right? That's not a safe career choice. You need to understand that Broadway doesn't ensure your job. We know that you have a phenomenal voice, and you want to put it at use. You have to be realistic about your future. Being on Broadway isn't doing that. I'm sorry Rachel. "

That day sucked. Rachel could remember every word that was said that day. She'll never forget the day her parents crushed her hopes and dreams of being a star. Now, all the singing she does is in the shower, or with her cousin and best friend, Blaine. Blaine is in a band called Big Explosions. Where this name came from, Rachel still doesn't understand. According to Puck, the biggest idiot of them all, Big Explosions is the coolest band name ever…. The boy needs some serious help.
