This is the prologue to a fanfiction I've been working on. It mainly features characters that were created by my sister and I. It's slightly AU. Only slightly. Anyway, here's the prologue. I'll post the first chapter later if anyone is interested.
___________________________________________________________
There's a funny thing about luck. At any moment, it can be good. It can make even the worst of wrecks happy. A dose of good luck can make all the difference in even life or death situations. However, good luck is not forever. There is no such thing as eternal luck. As fast as it turns good, it can go back to bad or neutral. It's the result of karma. The universe cannot withstand too much good luck. Thus, it cancels out the good. Unfortunately for Will Schuester and his New Directions, the good could only be canceled out with bad.
It had been around three years after Rachel Berry had helped lead the New Directions to their first win at Nationals. Once she and the other New Directions alumni graduated, the New Directions was led to another National win with the help of Tina Cohen-chang and Blaine Anderson. However, the last of the old New Directions family graduated after that. Will believed the luck was still with him, though.
Will would be proven wrong.
The year after that, there was a huge line of people wanting to join the New Directions. Winning Nationals two years in a row just happened to be just what the doctor ordered. It was now cool to be part of William McKinley High School's uprising legacy. There was one girl whom auditioned that Will thought would be the next Rachel or Tina.
Amanda Matthews was her name. She was a beautiful girl that don a head of wavy, blonde hair, deep brown eyes, and immense confidence in her posture. When she she opened her mouth and began singing at auditions, Will knew he had found the new glee star. He decided she could definitely be their trump card at competitions. He gave her the opening song for sectionals of that year.
It was a mistake that Will did not foresee.
The thought of performing in front of a competition audience by herself proved to be too much for Amanda. She had only made it through the first verse before the fright had caused her to vomit right on the stage. In a fit of embarrassment, she ran of the stage, shouting over and over “I quit”. After winning Nationals two years in a row, they had lost at Sectionals.
Amanda transferred schools as soon as she could to escape the teasing. Slowly, every member left New Directions. After their fleeting glory, New Directions had turned into a sad joke once again. Will didn't know what to do. He was at a complete loss, now.
Will was on his way to Principal Figgins's office on the last day of school to announce the end of New Directions when he heard a distant voice. It was like music to his ears. Will followed the voice until he could hear it get louder and louder. He peeked into an empty classroom, in which he pinpointed to be the source of the voice. It was completely empty, save for a sophomore boy sitting on a counter, singing his hard out to a pencil, which Will figured was a makeshift microphone. The boy had immense singing talent. It was almost overwhelming.
Quickly, Will left and rushed to the choir room. There were still kids at the school with singing ability. Will knew surely that he could lure some in come the next school year. He had three months to plan the comeback before the next school year started. It was plenty of time. With his new spark of hope, Will began writing down ideas for booting it back up again. Sure, it was back to being the underdogs. That was more than fine for Will.
New Directions works best when it's full of underdogs.
