''Bridge To Terabithia 2: The Last Time'' is a CompletedFic and FixFic written by [[https://www.wattpad.com/user/ElleFred ElleFred]], a massive fan of ''Literature/BridgeToTerabithia'' and the [[Film/BridgeToTerabithia 2007 film adaptation]], whom have written several separate AU stories related to the aforementioned Katherine Paterson classic novel.

Among ElleFred's various Terabithia-related stories, ''Bridge To Terabithia 2: The Last Time'' is considered to be his own MagnumOpus, and the best of his many BTT-fanfictions, according to his various readers. It is commendable that, unlike most BTT fanfictions where writers attempt to AssPull the truth behind Leslie's death, ElleFred does attempt his best to provide a rational explanation behind Leslie's disappearance, and the impact of her return to Jess' life. For anyone who still cannot get over Leslie's sudden demise (either in the novel or the film) ElleFred's story does provide some degree of closure to readers and audience alike.

** Nicholas Aarons, Jess' obnoxious, rude cousin several years older than him, who appeared only in a few chapters in part 2, but his short presence is enough to make everyone around him miserable.

For Terabithia's sake, he even managed to draw the ire from both Leslie and Dylan, two of the nicest characters in the story...
