A/N- I know that starting yet another ongoing fic is very stupid, but that's exactly what I am - stupid. I'm just testing this idea out for a chapter to see how it goes, if I don't like it, I won't continue. This is sort of based on the idea of fate and inspired by Sliding doors. Feedback will be greatly appreciated because I would love to know what you all (note how I didn't say ya'll there - thus not sounding like a hillbilly) think of it.

One moment in time - one moment in time, that's all it takes to change your life forever. Or does it? What if something was fated? Would one small thing change your life forever, or would fate take the upper hand? Sure, fate's a nice idea when you're a little kid - lying in bed, listening to bedtime stories, but when you grow up and walk out into the world, alone and vulnerable - do you then believe in fate? Do you try to make up your own world or do you just sit there and believe that fate will let things happen. Is it worth it to believe?

You see, events lead on from one another, if you change just one thing, starting a different sequence of events - will things end up the same? Let me help you imagine something for a minute - imagine that Carter managed to get the psych consult - oh, you don't have any idea which one I'm talking about, well I don't blame you, there have been a whole lot of psych consults. Let me refresh your memory.

Carter is in a rush, he walks down the corridor and Lucy asks him about the psych consult. He's busy and so he brushes her off...

Think about it for a minute, what if someone were to change that short exchange - if only by a couple of words, what if they were to make it so that Carter listened to Lucy? How would that effect following events? Would everything turn out the same? Would fate intervene? Take one minute to just believe.
