    "Well, this is just great," Denmark grumbled, looking at the vast expanse of the IKEA maze around them. "Of all the places to get lost..."

    "Don't worry, Denmark," Finland replied, trying to sound optimistic. "Sweden is around here somewhere."

    Norway, who had been silent all along, finally spoke up. "How about we split up and look for him?" he suggested.

    "That sounds like a plan," Finland agreed. "Iceland, you come with me. Denmark, you can go with Norway."

    "I'm not a child, you know," Iceland protested, holding onto the stuffed animal he'd found. "I can look on my own."

    "Better safe than sorry," Finland reasoned. "We don't want to lose anyone else in this maze."

    Denmark and Norway headed off in one direction, while Finland and Iceland went in another. The IKEA store seemed to stretch on forever.

    After a while of searching, Denmark and Norway came across a display kitchen. "This place is bigger than my real kitchen," Denmark remarked.

    "Let's keep moving," Norway urged. "We need to find Sweden and get out of here."

    Meanwhile, Finland and Iceland found themselves in the children's section. "Look, Iceland, it's a mini version of your chair!" Finland pointed out.

    "I'm not a child," Iceland repeated, but he couldn't help smiling at the miniature chair. "It's kind of cute, though."

    Finland chuckled. "See, IKEA's not so bad. Let's keep looking for Sweden." They continued their search, passing by rows of colorful children's furniture.

    Denmark and Norway found themselves in the lighting section. "These lamps are pretty cool," Denmark said, trying out different light settings.

    "Focus, Denmark," Norway reminded him. "We're here to find Sweden, not to shop."

    Meanwhile, Finland and Iceland had made their way to the living room section. "This couch is pretty comfortable," Finland commented, sinking into a plush seat.

    "We're not here to relax," Iceland reminded him, looking around the room. "We need to find Sweden."

    They continued their search, navigating through the maze of furniture. Suddenly, Finland's phone rang. It was Sweden.

    "I've been trying to find you guys," Sweden's voice came through the phone. "Where are you?"

    "We're in the living room section," Finland replied. "We'll stay put. Come find us."

    After a while, Sweden finally found them. "I was in the kitchen section," he explained. "I didn't realize you guys were lost."

    "Let's find Denmark and Norway," Finland suggested. They set off, Sweden leading the way this time.

    Eventually, they found Denmark and Norway in the dining room section. "We were starting to think we'd have to eat here," Denmark joked.

    "Let's get out of here," Sweden said, leading the way. They navigated through the maze, finally reaching the exit.

    As they stepped outside, the Nordic 5 breathed a sigh of relief. "Next time, let's stick to online shopping," Iceland suggested.

    "Agreed," Denmark said. "I've had enough of furniture mazes for one day." They all laughed, happy to be out of the IKEA labyrinth.
