After the Coronation

[NarnianMelody]

As the three of them climbed the stairs happily to her room, Leslie noted the look of awe and happiness that still stayed on Dorian's face -- the look, she remembered, Jess had had after their first time in Terabithia. She smiled. He was changed. They were all changed now.
"So," she said once she, Jess, and Dorian were in her room and PT had jumped up onto her bed. "How fares the Prince of Terabithia? And I don't mean PT," she added, as the dog stretched out on her bed and yawned.

[Dorian Waldron]

Dorian, still extremely happy, smiled at Leslie.

"Terabithia is amazing!" he said, "thank you so much for letting me be a part of it!"

Judy heard the kids come inside and head upstairs.
"hey any one want something to eat" she yelled up the stairs. she was in a very good mood today becuse she was almost finished with her current novel she was writing and excited about the things to come.

[Dorian Waldron]

"Nothing for me, thank you, Mrs. Burke," Dorian said politely.

((OOC Comment: This takes place after Sanctuary, so Dorian is staying at the Burkes'.))

[NarnianMelody]

"Yeah, I'm fine, too," Leslie also called. She turned back to Dorian, and smiled. "You deserve to be apart of it. With all the books you read your imagination will make Terabithia better then it already is. We're glad to have you in the kingdom!"

OCC: Oh, yeah...thanks for reminding me.

[Dorian Waldron]

"Thanks," Dorian said, blushing slightly.

[NarnianMelody]

"Tomorrow maybe we could go back," Leslie said. She couldn't stop beaming. "Jess has done some drawings of me but we need some of the Prince of Terabithia, too, you know. And our subjects might like to meet you in person as well."

OCC: Since Phantom isn't here let's just assume that Jess has gone home. *shrugs*

[Dorian Waldron]

"I'd like that," Dorian said, returning Leslie's beaming face with the biggest smile he had ever given.

[NarnianMelody]

Leslie took out a pen and paper and sat on her bed. "We should write about this," she said thoughtfully. "Maybe we could write about what happened today as a story...like that short story we have to do for English." She paused, thinking for a title, then asked, "Ever get the feeling like you just have to write or your mind will burst?"

OCC: That's a question for whoever is responding in this thread, too...

[Dorian Waldron]

"Maybe," Dorian said, "and yeah, I get that feeling sometimes."

((OOC Comment: I do too!))

[NarnianMelody]

Leslie paused thoughtfully before starting to scribble on the paper. She wrote for a couple of minutes before, satisfied, put her notebook on the nightstand next to her bed. "Good enough," she said happily. "You can add to it whenever you want, and Jess can, too. It'll be our Terabithian Journal."

OCC: Wasn't sure what to write...but I did think the Journal might be a good idea....

Mrs. Burke heard a knock come from there front door.
"come in" she yelled and jess walked in.
"Hello Mrs. Burke" he said with a smile. "Are Leslie and Dorian here?" he asked her.
"Yes they are there in Leslies room. go ahead up" she said and smiled to him. jess quickly nodded and headed up the steps. upon reaching Leslies room he knocked and then opened the door.
"hey sorry about leaving you, had to help my dad a bit" he said.

[Dorian Waldron]

"That sounds great," Dorian said.

He turned his head when he heard Jess' voice and saw Jesse in the doorway.

"Hi, Jess," he greeted.

[Steven]

Jess walked over to Leslies bed and plopped himself down.
"whatcha guys doing?" he asked.

[NarnianMelody]

"Just writing," Leslie told him, smiling. "How are you doing?"
