Chapter eight:
The new moon was the next night, and the nations were still not completely sure where to go now that their only lead became a dead end. Virginia had just awoken that morning, but when asked for any other ideas she could not think of anything at that time, so they were on their own. Nevertheless, she joined them as they talked through what they should do.
"There's something that's bothering me," Japan began.
"Besides this whole mess, aru?" China asked snidely.
"I was thinking about all of the shows and I remembered something from the first showing," Japan explained.
"And what is that?" England asked, at this point eagerly waiting for any idea.
"In the first show Confederacy said something to America. I could not make it all out but I'm fairly certain she was talking about winning a first battle."
"What does that have to do with anything?" Germany asked. To this Virginia decided to pipe in her idea. And said, "She's spent the last 150 years obsessed with the Civil War. She may have been referring to the first battle of that."
"The first battle was Bull Run,"D.C. began thinking, "so if she began with the first battle then it would make sense for her to end with that war's last battle, right?"
"It's possible. But where would that get us?" France asked now.
"She's always been pretty sentimental," Virginia began only to be cut off by Italy saying, "Vee, then maybe we should go to wherever that was and well find her!"
The group looked at Italy for a moment considering his uncharacteristically good idea. After this, England shouted, "So then where exactly are we going?"
To this D.C. chimed in and said while taking out his dad's world map to show where it was, "The last battle was the battle of Columbus, here." With them all knowing where they were to go, the nations left; completely ignoring the fact that Virginia was trying to tell them something.
It was already in the afternoon when they reached the old battlefield, due to them getting lost. When they did get there, they desperately began to search. They did as thorough a search as they could, but it was still of no use. Sadly, none of them were able to find any sign of either America or the Confederacy. They soon realized that it was already past eight, with them missing the show and the only thing to show of it being the fact that they knew for sure was that Confederacy and America were not there.
With all of them now frustrated, they went back to their meeting room to talk this out. It was very late when they got back however, and instead of talking they began to argue amongst themselves.
"Did we get something wrong?" England thought aloud to the group.
"I don't know Angleterre, but this certainly is not good," France answered.
"Whose stupid idea was it to come out there anyways?" Estonia asked while scratching at mosquito bite.
"Vee, sorry everybody."
"It's alright," Germany sighed, "We were all thinking the same thing when you said it."
"But it still means that we wasted another day," Japan said.
"But there is still time to save him, da?" Russia asked.
"One problem vodka-bastard," Romano began, "We have no idea where they are or any clues to find that out. We'd need a fucking miracle to save him in time."
"Or we could ask Virginia again," a voice spoke in. When the group heard this, they looked around the room, since they were certain that they heard America. They then looked to the voice's owner, only to see that it was Canada (How long had he been there?)
"What do you mean, Canada?" France asked.
"Before we left to check the battlefield, she looked like she had another idea. Maybe she thought of a different place to check."
"Bloody Hell! Why didn't you tell us about this sooner?" England yelled at him.
"Sorry. I tried but you all ignored me," he answered.
They were silent after this, thinking about what to do. It was already after midnight, she would probably be asleep and they were all in desperate need of sleep also. So they decided that they would ask her tomorrow.
For the part in parentheses: Due to the fact that Canada tends to be forgotten by the others, I didn't have him talk a lot in the series; which led to me forgetting that he was in the group until I was writing this (I know, I'm a bad, especially since I like to think I'm a Canada fan).
So anyways…Please Review~~
