This is a fan-made story.
What you are about to read is exactly what I would expect of a Bridge to Terabithia sequel. To write this script, I spent a lot of time and effort reading, researching and rewatching the original story.
This script includes some recurring characters, such as Jesse Aarons, Mary Aarons, May Belle Aarons, Joyce Ann Aarons and Julia Edmunds. I highly recommend rewatching the 2007 film before reading this script, as well as googling how the cast looks today, since they have aged roughly the same amount of years as their characters in my story.
Additionally, I had to adapt the dialogue format to fit this platform. Other than that, it follows the standard Master Scenes format.
