The group ended up in a garden maze and there was singing heard behind a hedge with some red substance flying and landing on the grass.

"I hope that's paint..." Akito winced at first.

Vincent was the first to feel the red substance to see if it was paint and where to his relief it was. "Whew, it's just red paint." he told them.

"Phew..." the others were also relieved.

Misdreavus floated above the hedge while Alice hopped up and down to see what was going on on the other side. Akito flew up to see what was going on as well.

Voice: Painting the roses red!
We're painting the roses red!
We dare not stop or waste a drop,

So let the paint be spread!
Oh, we're painting the roses reeeeeed...
We're painting the roses red!

Akito, Misdreavus, and Alice saw living playing cards painting white roses red.

"I wonder why they're painting those roses red." Akito said, floating down to the others.

"Painting roses red?" Estelle looked at her brother.

"That's what's happening." Misdreavus informed to indicate that was true.

"Let's find out why." Vincent said.

"Hopefully they have a good reason..." Alice rubbed her head.

There were three cards with the suit of clubs as they painted the roses, rather messily.

"Excuse us, sir, but why must you paint them red?" Estelle sang to the three of clubs.

"Huh?" the three of clubs asked, before realizing what she said. "Ohhhh! Well, the fact is, Miss, we've planted the white roses by mistake, and..."

Cards: The Queen, she likes them red
If she saw white instead...

Two: She'd raise a fuss

Ace: And each of us

Three: Will quickly lose his head!

"Oh, dear." Teddy said, holding his neck.

All three: Since this is what we dread...
We're painting the roses red!

"Oh, dear, then let me help you." Alice offered as she picked up an extra brush from the bucket to help out the cards.

"Us too." The rest of the kids, Dinah, and the Pokemon said, each grabbing a paint brush.

Vincent painted, he really enjoyed it and got the most out of it than the others did.

Cards: We're painting the roses red!
Don't tell the Queen

What you have seen or say that's what we said
But we're painting the roses red!

Alice: Yes, painting the roses red!

Vincent: We're painting the roses red!

Three: Not pink

Two: Not green

Akito & Estelle: Not aquamarine

All: We're painting the roses red!

"Almost got all of the roses painted red." Vincent said.

There was a fanfare then heard, which alerted everyone and the cards called out.

"THE QUEEN!"

"The Queen..." Alice smiled in excitement.

"We better bow then." Estelle said.

The cards removed the paint and fell flat to the ground.
