Based Mostly off the book, but I used the ages in the new movie and some after events I thought were good for the plot.

DISCLAIMER!!!!!: I do not own Bridge to Terabithia in anyway shape or form.

Sometimes things happen for a reason, and sometimes, to state the absolute truth, crap happens.

Though it's taught me one lesson, there is such a thing as second chances, in life and in the afterlife.

Now let me tell you the story of two friends who were given a second chance.

Now I've been told, by some people higher up than I am, that fate did it just for some fun to see how things would've gone if she hadn't caused the poor girls death, if the world would be a better place or not, with a Ms. Leslie Burke still in it.

Now this is the last you will see of me for awhile, I have a meeting with fate about this case in a few minutes, and some meetings with her can span over decades.

I heard you did not't review the case personally, so I thought I'd send you my copy of the report on how things happened, so you could see this remarkable case. Remember, Fate does not't often save a person from death.

Jess Aarons watched as they left the gravel path towards the road.

He felt like he should at least invite Leslie, but he also wanted to be alone with Miss. Edmunds.

Some thing in the back of Jess's mind started to scream, 'Ask her if you can invite her, or you'll regret it later!'

Miss Edmunds turned to Jess, "Something wrong?" she asked.

Jess turned his head towards Leslie's house, "Miss. Edmunds, would it be alright to invite Leslie to come with us?"

Miss. Edmunds laughed, "I should've known you two couldn't go anywhere with out each other! Sure, Leslie can come."

Jess smiled then jumped out of the car. As he ran towards Leslie's house he yelled, "Thank you Miss Edmunds!"

Jess ran as fast as he could, so not to keep Miss. Edmunds waiting.

Jess stopped suddenly, as he nearly ran into Leslie walking out of her front door.

Jess swallowed nervously before beginning to speak. "Leslie, Miss. Edmunds has invited us to go to the museum"……..

Jess and Leslie returned late that afternoon from the museum.

Leslie turned to Jess grinning devilishly. "King Jess, meet tomorrow morning at the end of the path, for tomorrow we must make some improvements to Terabithia."

Jess smiled and asked, "Improvements to what in Terabithia?"

Leslie smiled, causing a lump to form in Jess's throat.

"Improvements to the fortress Jess. Bill and Judy said we could borrow some wood by our house." She said with a devilish grin on her face.

Leslie then waved goodbye and ran home.

Jess, just smiled and walk back home; it had been a great day.

Jess was in a long hallway filled with folders as far as the eye could see. He turned around a few times, till he saw a familiar name,Leslie Judith Burke.

He stopped, and pulled the file off of the shelf, and opened it to the first page.

No, this could not be true, Leslie couldn't die! Jess started to run, trying to find a way out of this nightmare.

Jess woke up with a start. He looked around and found he was still in his room.

He looked at the clock, it was already nine thirty, and he had to meet Leslie this morning.

Jess quickly got dressed and ran down stairs and out the door.

When he reached the end of the road he saw Leslie with P.T on her lap, waiting of him.

"Sorry I'm late," Jess said.

Leslie looked up at him and asked. "Why are you late?"

Jess looked down to the ground, "I couldn't sleep last night, I guess I was still excited about the museum."

Leslie frowned, she knew he was lying, but she wouldn't pressure him to tell her.

"Well enough of that," she said cheerfully, "We've got work to do, and we can't wait for lazy people to get up."

Jess looked up and grinned, "Race you to the rope!"

Jess took off running while Leslie yelled at him for being a cheater.

Jess arrived to the rope first, grinning like a cat.

"I won for once!" He cried happily.

Leslie huffed, "No fair, you cheated!"

Jess just grabbed the rope ignoring he protest, and jumped.

All he remembered after that was the sound of the rope breaking, the sound of Leslie's scream and the look of horror on her face, and the sound of his body hitting the water, with a sickening crack.

All was lost to Jess Aarons as his whole world went black with a sharp pain in the back of his head.
