At last, the path came to an end, as the whole group were standing at an entrance to some hedges of the most beautiful roses.
"So this is the Valley?" England asked.
"Pretty obvious enough ain't it?" Joey asked.
"Yay yay yay yay yay!" America wooted. "Look at all that!" (Insert Japan's epic face palm here)
"What's everyone waiting for?" Serenity asked.
"Let's go!" Alexis cheered.
"Yeah, let's run!" Yugi beamed with excitement. As for that, everyone ran in, splitting up and going in different directions.
"Come on! Come on!" Kaiba called.
"Hurry! Hurry!" Joey called.
When the gang re-united, they came to a large centre where a fountain was. Will gave a giggle and realised something was wrong. "Okay..." she said. "Why's it so quiet?"
"Beats me," Joey shrugged.
"Hey! Lookie here!" Italy said cheerfully.
"What have you found?" Germany asked.
"Look at this!" Italy beamed, showing everyone a very small bracelet. It was blue with pretty pearls.
"Maybe it's a clue!" Germany said.
"Ai-kun, you have the dairy," Will said. "What does it~...say?" She looked around and realised what was wrong: "Where's Ai-kun?"
"WHAT?"
"Oh, not again!" Japan sighed.
"Okay, nobody panic," said Chazz.
"Too late!" Syrus panicked, hiding behind Alexis.
"Do you know where he was last time?" Taranee asked Will.
"Yeah, he was riiiiiiiiiiiii~!" Will exclaimed, pointing at a hedge.
"Behind there?" America asked.
"This shan't be a problem!" said Cornelia confidently. "Move back!" Cornelia stood before the hedge and gave a commandment for it to move. Strangely, the hedge remained the same. Jaden went up to it to pull it.
"It's plastic!" he cried. "And it's very thick too!"
"Allow me!" said Russia, getting out his pick-axe.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!" China exclaimed. "Are you really sure that's a good idea?"
"Why not?" Syrus agreed, as he got out his cleaver and Cornelia got out her knife-whip.
"Can I join?" America asked, getting out his chain-saw.
"Sure, why not," Cornelia sighed. As for that, Russia, America, Syrus and Cornelia began to rip the fake hedge to shreds. The group stared nervously as America screamed out:
"Ow, my face!"
"Ow, my leg!"
"Ow, my manly chest!"
"Ow, my other leg!"
It took some time until the hedge was completely ruined. Everyone could get through the path, whilst Tea and Taranee helped heal America's wounds with their fire powers.
"Thanks a bunch for that," America said. "I must admit, that was pretty cool! Can you do that with all kinds of injuries?"
"No, only to minor injuries," said Tea with a frown.
"Aw, come on!" America complained. "It's not a minor injur—"
"What the?" Will interrupted. Suddenly, she was rapidly sinking down a weird looking hole. "HELP! I'M SINKING!" One by one, a person or country would try and help pull Will back up, and one by one they went down with her, with Italy going down last (he'd thought it'd be fun to do so).
Anyway, the whole crew fell down some strange tunnel and couldn't see any sort of chance getting out again. They turned left, right, up, down, until they finally landed in a weird spot. They all got up and looked around.
Everything was decorated just like a very pretty house: Bright yellow wallpaper with furniture and plants around the room. There were a several doorways leading to darkness. There was also a weird, uncomfortable, dead silence.
"So...Where are we?" England asked.
