The next day, the nations came back to the World Conference room as instructed by Germany.
But when they entered the room, they saw the German holding up a fishbowl filled with folded up strips of paper.
Once everyone arrived and took their seats, Germany began to explain the fishbowl's purpose.
"Now vithin zhis fishbowl I'm holding up right here," Germany lifted up the fishbowl for everyone to see. "are the flags of every country here today drawn on small strips of paper and folded in half."
All the nations nodded in understanding.
"Und zince America vas zhe one who brought up zhis... idea... I say he goes fir-"
But America didn't even allow him to finish his sentence and just ran up to Germany to the front of the room. "NYAHAHAHA! Alright, dudes! Let's see which one of you lucky countries gets to impress us with your hospitality first!"
Everyone groaned.

Germany
"Hetalia."

Everyone leaned in anticipation as the American stuck his hands into the fishbowl and shook the pieces of papers around for what seemed like an eternity until he finally picked one up.
No one even dared to breathe as America unfolded the paper.
Which flag do you think he picked up?

America
"NYAHAHA! Hetalia!"

America stared intensely at the strip of paper, which made everyone even more nervous than they already were.
Then suddenly, his signature smile appeared and laughed. "Hahahaha! Pack your bags, everyone! Looks like we're heading to Japan tomorrow night!" America held up the strip of paper for everyone to see as proof that it was really the Japanese flag that he picked up.
Everyone who was not Japan sighed a breath of relief.
But the poor old Japanese man looked up in total surprise and sweatdropped.
"N-Nani?!"
