All good stories have an end...or do they?

After Jim, Huck, and Tom return back to their old town, Huck used some of his money to buy Jim's wife and kids to set them free. Jim moved up north and settled down with his happy family. Huck lived with Tom and his Aunt Polly and Sid, but as he was an adventurous scoundrel, he left in the middle of the night after staying several months. He traveled up into Illinois to find Jim and after finding Jim's house, he pulls one last prank on him, pretending to be a ghost at the window. Jim and his family are overjoyed to see him and all to the group's surprise Tom turns up the next day, saying he followed Huck through the woods like an Indian stalking a deer (he read it in a book one time). Tom and Huck hang around in the woods around Jim's house, popping in now and then. One day they decide to leave for good, saying goodbye to Jim with many tears. They traveled to the nearest river running to New England. Soon they made it to New York, and traversed all along the land and states around. After 2 years of gallivanting around the country, they run across Boston, Massachusetts. A ship to England and then France is about to take off that night, so they boys naturally sneak on in the middle of the night and set sail for Europe. After weeks of hiding and stealing food, they spot land in the distance. The boys climb to the top of the steam caps and yell like in the books. Tom is ecstatic for his dream has come true, he is an adventurer. Huck is pleased, for he has his best friend beside him and a world of adventure ahead of him. The sun sets, but their story does not ever end.
