Chapter 2: A Visit To Terabithia

It was 10:30 PM at night and Jess was ready to go to bed.

Just as he was about to put on his night clothes, his little sister May Belle came running into his room with a phone in her hand.

"What the heck are you doing May?"

"Leslies on the phone. She wants to talk to you Jess"

"Give me that" Jess quickly took the phone from his sister and started motioning with his hands for May Belle to leave.

"Hey Les!"

"Hey," "I don't have alot of time to talk on the phone, but do you wanna go out to magic kingdom now?" Jess immediately knew she was referring to Terabithia, which also meant her mom or dad were nearby listening..

"Sure." "Meet me in ten minutes."

Both of them quickly said goodbye and hurried to get their outdoor clothes on.

Jess realized that Leslie's secret note from last time they talked had finally made sense. He felt ashamed for not catching on earlier.

But what was stranger, is Leslie wanting to go to Terabithia at night! Maybe she had something importened that couldn't wait till tomorrow?

As soon as he arrived, he could see she was smiling. The hot air had cooled and the wind gentially blew in her face. P.T was at her feet yipping and jumping.

"What are we here for?" "Stargazing?" Jess' voice was a soft tone but his face still wary of what she was about to tell him.

"No silly." "Remember that computer I gave you last year?"

"Yeah?"

"Well, I was just reading a newspaper this morning and I saw an ad by a kid for PC setup." Jess's parents could never find out how to get the computer working, so it had be put away in a closet.

"Jess. Your a great artist, but imagine if thousands of people could see your paintings!" "Or if you could use the computer for school essays!"

Jess now understood why this was importened to both of them. If Jess had it working, he could scan in his pictures and post them on the internet for people to see. Maybe even buy!

But that was beside the point. Jess didn't want to be famous. "But for school essays...it would be a HUGE improvment over his hand written work, and a help to Leslie.

And he now had a question for Leslie.

"Leslie, why couldn't this have waited till morning or tomorrow evening?"

"Well, i was kind of excited and well i didn't want to wait. " "We can meet him in person!" Her voice sounding very excited as she talked.

"Okay, okay." "I'll talk to him but first we have to find him."

"I know he goes to our school." "I just don't know what classes." "We can find that out when we get there."

The two friends talked alittle more, and decided to go home. Before they seperated they said bye.

When Jess found himself on his bed, he was thoroughly exhausted. It was already 11:58 PM.

Don't forget to Review, as i need to know if this story is going the right way!
