This is the newest story from my brain. I hope you enjoy this prologue. This story is my first try at AU. In this story Rachel hasn't met Shelby, but she did adopt Beth from Puck and Quinn. Finn never dated Quinn and he was never part of the baby bomb drop. I hope it isn't too confusing and you will enjoy it. This is just an introduction to the true story at hand. I hope you are going to like it and give it a chance. I really like it. Enjoy! Let me know what you think and if I should continue.

Rachel Berry and her fathers were moving into a new neighborhood. It was Rachel's eighth birthday. She was playing in the front yard while her fathers and the moving men moved all of their things into the house.
Everyone knew Rachel was going to be a star from a very young age. On this day, she was out in the front yard twirling around while she sang to herself.
Just down the street lived a boy by the name of Finn Hudson. He was tall and awkward for his age of eight. He had a heart of gold, but clumsy as all get out.
Finn stopped in front of the Berry house. He yelled out to the little girl, "You sing good."
Rachel walked over to him while rolling her eyes. She said, "No, I sing well."
"Okay. I'm Finn Hudson."
Rachel stuck out her hand and said, "My name is Rachel Barbra Berry. I just moved here with my fathers."
Finn looked at her in confusion before taking her hand in his. He smiled. "Cool. I live down the street. I don't have a dad. It's just me and my mom."
"Oh."
"Do you want to play with me?"
"We could play Broadway. You could be my leading man."
"What is Broadway?"
"Only the most magical place on earth. It is in New York City and people perform musicals there."
"What is a musical?"
"It is a play with a lot of music in it."
"Oh. Cool. I don't sing too good."
"It's well. You don't sing well."
"Hey! You haven't heard me sing. You don't know that."
"Nevermind."
Finn smiled his contagious smile. "I like you. I think we are going to be good friends."
Rachel smiled. "I like you, too, Finn Hudson."
The two of them started to sing together. Rachel looked at Finn and said, "You sing very well, Finn. I like your voice."
"I like yours too."
The two of them spent the rest of the afternoon playing together until Finn's mother called him home for dinner. Little did they know that they were indeed going to be best friends.
