Chapter 1- You're invited!

~Written by Jay

It was just another normal world meeting. Well, you know, as normal as the world meetings could get.

"I'M THE HERO!"

"SHUT UP YOU BLOODY WANKER!"

"Ohhonhonhonhonhonhon~"

"PPPAAASSSSSTTTTTAAAAA~!"

"EVERYONE SHUT UP!" The room suddenly fell silent as Germany's voice rang out. Germany sighed. "Now, can we get to first order of business. Halloween. We should put aside our wars and have a large Halloween party. But where?"

"We could have it at MY house dude! I have a crazy big house and backyard to host everyone!"

"Thanks but no thanks, I don't think I want to taste one of your disgusting hamburgers."

"Ohhonhonhonhon~ We need to have it where everyone is…..close enough, non?"

The countries started arguing again. Germany sighed and rubbed his temples. All of the sudden, Italy jumped out of his seat. "Ve~ I GOT AN INVITATION!" The room went silent again as they looked at the Italian, confused. "Look! All you of have one too!" The confused countries looked down at their notes and papers in front of them. There, on each pile of papers, was a blood red note with a bat in the middle of it. America opened his curiously. He scanned the contents carefully. "Hey!" Everyone looked at the loud American. "They're invitations to Romania's Halloween party! It's tomorrow at his castle in…..Transylvania? Apparently, everyone is invited! And it's a sleepover! He said he's gunna supply our costumes!" With that, everyone else opened up their invitations and read them. The nations smiled. "I've never been to Romania's house."

"This will be fun da?"

"I wonder what costume Romania will put me in?"

The chatter continued until the meeting ended. Since this meeting was in Hungary, the nations were able to drive to the castle. They planned to all travel together in large vans to the Transylvanian castle. They were going to meet at the world conference place tomorrow to start their trip. The nations traveled back to their hotel to pack for the Halloween party.

It was the next day, and as planned, the nations met at the parking lot of the world conference place. Germany and America rented four large vans for them to use for the week. Each van could hold ten people. The countries argued for a half hour, trying to decide who was riding with whom. In the end, the groups went like this; Germany, Italy, Japan, America, England, France, Russia, China, Canada and Prussia in one van with Germany driving. In another van, it's Spain, Romano, Belgium, Netherlands, Austria, Hungary, Greece, Turkey, Egypt and Seychelles, Austria driving. The next one has Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Iceland, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Belarus, Ukraine and Sealand, with Switzerland driving. The last one had Korea, Vietnam, Taiwan, Thailand, Lithuania, Latvia, Poland and Estonia, who's driving. On the way to Transylvania, in the Germany van, Italy started to annoy Germany in the driver seat from shotgun. "Ve~ Germany, how much longer?"

"Look at the GPS! We have three hours left."

"Well, how long have we been driving?"

"We have been on the road for FIVE MINUTES."

"Carm down Itary, we wirl be there in time."

The van was quiet for an hour, before America got bored and unbuckled his seatbelt. "America! Get back in your seat you idiot! I'm still driving!"

"But dude, I wanna turn on some tunes!"

"Let, ME do it! And it will all be Hungarian music!"

"Then let me plug in my iPod!"

Germany sighed. "Fine! Hand it to Italy so he can plug it in!"

"WOOT!" America followed Germany's instructions and then sat down in his seat between England and France and buckled up again. The rest of the three hours were spent jamming to America's iPod music. Finally, the van pulled up to a long driveway. Germany turned off the engine and stepped out of the van. "Well, this is the place." The others scrambled out of the van and looked up the long driveway. In the distance was a huge dark gray castle, complete with many towers, giving it a medieval look.

America took out the invitation. "It says that we have to walk up the driveway…." England frowned. "Bloody hell, why does he expect us to do that!"

"I don't mind doing that~ As long as I get to spend some more time with Angleterre ~"

"GET THE BLOODY HELL AWAY FROM ME!" England screeched as France chased him around the rest of the group and the van. Soon, they calmed down as the other three vans arrived. The countries stood at the end of the driveway, pondering why they can't just drive up there. America eventually got irritated and started up the long winding driveway. Canada was the only one to notice his brother through the arguing countries. "America, where are you going?" He said it loud enough to catch the attention of his loud brother. Said brother turned around. "Dude, I'm tired of arguing, so I'm just going up the driveway!" This caught the attention of the rest of the nations.

"We might as well just walk up there…"

"Ve~ Germany, but it looks like a long way!"

"Then you will have to walk it. It shouldn't be that much longer than a lap or two."

"Hai." Japan stalked up behind the Italian and whispered into his ear. "Itary, England is coming."

"WWWHHHHAAAAAA ENGLAND IS GOING TO GET ME!" Italy sped up the driveway and America raced him up there, right behind him the whole way laughing. England sighed as he and the rest of the nations walked/ran up the driveway behind the two. "Why is it always me?"

As the nations gathered in front of the castle doorway, Italy pushed the doorbell and stood back. They waited for a few minutes until the heard a quiet thump. Then, the door opened to reveal a smiling Romania, dressed in his normal attire of a long red trench coat and small hat. His two unusually long top canines gleamed, even in the dim evening light. His blood red eyes shimmered like crystals. "Welcome! Welcome to my castle and Halloween party! I'm happy you all came! However, you arrived earlier than I had expected, allow me to show you to where everyone will be sleeping, so you can set your stuff down." Romania moved aside and let the nations in, closing the large door behind them.

Romania led the countries through a long hallway, and then opened another large door into a large, spacious room with a large chandelier hanging from the ceiling. The nations gasped in awe at the beautiful chandelier, with hanging blood red crystals and shimmering candles, lighting up the room. The nations filed in, setting their stuff down where they wanted to sleep, near who they were most comfortable with. Romania closed the door behind him and smiled a toothy smile before walking over to a table and standing up on it. "Can everyone please turn your attention to me?" The nations stopped their chatter and looked at him. "Good! Now, since the ball room where the party is going to be isn't ready for you yet, I have designed a game for you all to pass the time until it's ready. It will also give all of you an opportunity to explore my castle!" Romania snapped his fingers and a sheet of paper appeared in every nation's hands, shocking the majority. "It is a scavenger hunt! You must find everything on that list and then go to the entrance of the ball room and you will get a reward and access to the ball room!" America looked at Romania. "What's the reward?" Romania smiled at the American. "The reward is your costume that I have hand chosen for each of you!" The nations cheered and started pondering what costume they would receive. Romania clapped his hands to get their attention again. "Now, everyone can go in groups or by themselves, but in a group is recommended because my castle is so big. I'll give you a minute or two to get your groups together and then I'll open the doors for you to start~!" And with that, Romania jumped off the table and disappeared to somewhere.

"Ve~ Germany can me and Japan be in a group with you?"

"Ja, Prussia and I were going to be a group, so the larger the group, the easier to find stuff."

"Kesesesesesesese~"

"Hey England! You wanna be in mine and Canada's group?"

"It's Canada and I. but I guess so…."

"Ohonhonhonhonhonhonhon~ It looks like we're a family group Angleterre~"

"BLOODY HELL!"

"AHAHAHAHAHA!"

"Please stop fighting…"

"Liechtenstein, you'll stay with me."

"Ok big brother."

"Su-san, are we going with Norway and the other Nordics?"

"If….you want to, ja."

"Papa, can I go with you and the Nordics too?"

"Ja Sealand."

"I will go alone da?"

"Let me go with you big brother so we can become one!"

"N-Nyet! Please don't Belarus!"

"Belarus, why don't you come with me, Poland and the Baltics? It would be more fun in a larger group!"

"…..Fine….."

Romania suddenly appeared on the table again. The nations turned to the table shocked. Romania smiled. "Are you guys ready?" The nations responded with a 'Yes'. "Great! Let the scavenger hunt, BEGIN!" Romania snapped his fingers and six large doors swung open, granting the nations access to the rest of the large castle.
