Rachel Berry was performing in her first Sectionals and first Solo. It was supposed to be Mercedes's time to shine, but after Coach Sue Sylvester leaked their set list, they had to make last minute changes. Luckily she had practiced this song since she was four years old. Rachel Berry is a future Broadway star and she will do whatever it takes to reach her destination: New York. She outlined her entire life including college, Tony by age 25, and what her dorm would look like.

"Don't Rain On My Parade"

(feat. Lea Michele)

(Rachel)

Don't tell me not to live,

Just sit and putter,

Life's candy and the sun's

A ball of butter.

Don't bring around a cloud

To rain on my parade!

Don't tell me not to fly--

I've simply got to.

If someone takes a spill,

It's me and not you.

Who told you you're allowed

To rain on my parade!

I'll march my band out,

I'll beat my drum,

And if I'm fanned out,

Your turn at bat, sir.

At least I didn't fake it.

Hat, sir, I guess I didn't make it!

But whether I'm the rose

Of sheer perfection,

Or freckle on the nose

Of life's complexion,

The cinder or the shiny apple of its eye,

I gotta fly once,

I gotta try once,

Only can die once, right, sir?

Ooh, life is juicy,

Juicy, and you see

I gotta have my bite, sir!

Get ready for me, love,

cause I'm a commer,

I simply gotta march,

My heart's a drummer.

Don't bring around a cloud

To rain on my parade!

I'm gonna live and live now,

Get what I want--I know how,

One roll for the whole show bang,

One throw, that bell will go clang,

Eye on the target and wham

One shot, one gun shot, and BAM

Hey, Mister Arnstein,

Here I am!

I'll march my band out,

I will beat my drum,

And if I'm fanned out,

Your turn at bat, sir,

At least I didn't fake it.

Hat, sir, I guess I didn't make it.

* Here you go Berry, its all or nothing*

Get ready for me, love,

'cause I'm a commer,

I simply gotta march,

My heart's a drummer.

Nobody, no, nobody

Is gonna rain on my parade!

The crowd and her team gave her a standing ovation. She did it! Nothing will ever rain on Rachel Berry's Broadway path no matter how lonely high school was. It will all be worth it, she pep talked to herself.

Soon after their performance they won Sectionals. Finn Hudson, her crush, gave her a hug. She smiled and knew her dreams were coming true. That was her dream until her dads pulled her aside after the competition.

Leroy Berry: Rachel, princess, simply amazing.

Rachel: Thanks, Daddy.

Hiraim: Not bad for your final performance at McKinley.

Rachel: What do you mean...my last?

Leroy B. : Rachel, we have a long trip ahead for work and we have to leave. We are sending you to live with your Uncle John and his family in Knoxville, Tennessee.

Rachel: You want me to live in the country?! I am a Broadway diva, not a country girl.

Hiraim: Why can't you? Dolly Parton did it in 9 to 5.

Rachel: Not the same, Dad. But, if that is what I have to do, then I can give it a try.

Leroy: That's our Princess. Time for you to say your goodbyes and pack.

Rachel: I have to leave Finn?

Hiraim: Its sacrifices we all make sweetie.

Rachel sighed and hugged her dads. "Shoot me now," she grumbled.

Meanwhile in Knoxville, Tennessee, Sam Evans was finishing his Freshmen year of high school at Manning High School. He was popular, a country boy with a Justin Bieber haircut. He loved music, football, helped his parents take care of his siblings, and never asked for anything. He also struggled with dyslexia. Luckily he was popular and no one teased him at school.

Mary : Sam, please come downstairs. Breakfast time.

Sam: Yes, mom.

Sam hopped out of bed, took a shower, dressed and went to find his family who were having breakfast. Luckily it was the weekend so no school. But that didn't mean he didn't have chores and part time job as a paper delivery boy. He loved living in the country and not sure if he could ever live in the Big City like New York. He did however sometimes dreamed of being a male model. He tried to keep his body in shape. No girlfriend at the moment, although he wouldn't mind.

Dwight: So did you hear we're getting a new neighbor. John Berry's niece is staying with him. She lives in Lima, Ohio but John says she's a bit loud and destined for Broadway.

Sam: Great, a Diva?

Stacey: Maybe she's pretty, Sammy.

Stevie: Girls..,yuck.

Mary: Be nice. You don't know her. Maybe Sam can introduce her around school.

Sam almost choked on his breakfast. "Why me?" He asked.

Mary: Be a gentleman. What if you were new wouldn't you want help?

Sam: Guess you're right.

Mary: Of course I am right, I am your mom.

Dwight: Speaking of, I want you to go over and help Mr. Berry get the place ready.

Sam: Yes sir.

Sam hurried with breakfast and then walked next door to John Berry's home. Mr. Berry was a nice man with money but living in the South. He appeared to be strict since he was one a Headmaster at Dalton Academy in Websterville, Ohio. But, he was a kind man and always had advice readily available. He didn't mind. Hopefully his niece was just as nice. Or if she's a Broadway girl she was probably loud. He wasn't going to judge.

He knocked, and Mr. Berry appeared.

John Berry: Hello Sam, Thank you so much for coming. I will pay you for your time. No objections.

Sam: No problem, Sir.

John Berry: Call me John. My niece is a handful but I love her very much. Plus she's about your age, well by a year. Very smart so maybe she can offer her tutoring services.

Sam: I can't wait to meet her.

Soon, Sam and Mr. Berry got his niece's room ready and just as Sam was about to head home, he saw a car pull up to the driveway, and stepping out was the cutest girl, nose a little large and unusual fashion, but very cute. Sam was in a daze. The girl walked up and smiled.

Rachel: Hello, a pleasure to meet you, I am Rachel Barbra Berry.

Sam: Sam Evans. Nice to meet you.

Rachel: Pleasure is all mine. * she winked and walked away to greet her Uncle and family.*

Sam walked back to his house with a dopey grin.

Mary: Sam, are you okay?

Sam stared out the window and grinned. " I am just fine. And so is she..."

Stevie: Girls...yuck....

Dwight: What happened?

Sam: I think I just met my future wife...

Mary: I better start planning your wedding.

Sam: Very funny, she is city and I'm country..total opposites.

Mary: Opposites attract.

Sam went to his room and daydreamed.
