How to have narrator speech bubble appear while characters are walking on screen?

Hello,
I’m trying to code a scene where two characters walk into the screen, walks up some stairs, then disappear (as they are going into a house). I know I need to do the “@remove CHARACTER” command to remove them from the scene. I want the characters walk onto the screen then remove the characters once they reach the door. Before they walk on, though, I want to have a narrator speech bubble narrating the scene, and then the characters appear while the speech bubble is still there. The problem is, I don’t know how to code a speech bubble to appear and the characters walk on screen. How would I code this? Here’s the code for the scene:

EXT. ANASTASIAHOUSE - DAY
@zoom on 326 212 to 280% in 0
@cut to zone 2
@ANASTASIA changes into anastasiapast5
@LUCINA changes into lucinapast3
@add Moving Box to ANASTASIA
@add Moving Box to LUCINA
#ANASTASIA and LUCINA are off screen:
@LUCINA spot 0.182 288 385 in zone 1 at layer 2 AND LUCINA faces right
@ANASTASIA spot 0.191 287 384 in zone 1 at layer 3 AND ANASTASIA faces right
#ANASTASIA and LUCINA are walking on screen to another spot:
@ANASTASIA walks to spot 0.191 60 397 in zone 2 in 2 AND ANASTASIA does it while walk_box_neutral_loop AND LUCINA walks to spot 0.182 36 398 in zone 2 in 2 AND LUCINA does it while walk_box_neutral_loop
#ANASTASIA and LUCINA are walking up the stairs then entering the house (by removing characters):
@ANASTASIA walks to spot 0.191 103 423 in zone 2 in 2 AND ANASTASIA does it while walk_box_neutral_loop AND LUCINA walks to spot 0.191 103 423 in zone 2 in 2 AND LUCINA does it while walk_box_neutral_loop
@remove ANASTASIA
@remove LUCINA

Thanks!

instead of using the @ command, use the & command when your characters walk, then, write NARRATOR
-whatever you wanna say-
And that’s how it’s gonna appear while the characters walk
