"What's going on?"
"Your friend Leslie, apparently she tried to swing across on the rope and it broke. They think she hit her head."

"It's all my fault."
"Don't you think that even for a minute."
"But it is. I didn't invite her to go to the museum with me. I didn't wanna invite her. I wasn't there to go with her. It's my fault."

"It's me..."
"I'm sorry, I don't..."
"Honey, you don't remember him?"

-------------------------------------------------

Leslie survives the fall from the rope; she doesn't die, but instead falls into a deep coma. Five years later, Jess receives a call from her parents with the news he was beginning to think he would never hear - Leslie is awake. Thrilled, he quickly drives to the hospital, only to find that his best friend can no longer remember him or the hideaway she was trying to escape to the day of the accident. After she is discharged from the hospital, her memories begin to return in scattered fragments, but never completely. Overwhelmed with grief and frustration, she turns to the boy she hardly knows and asks him to take her to Terabithia. And slowly, the magic begins to remind her of the incredible friendship they shared.
