It was a beautiful December evening in Sweden. 24th December. Christmas Eve.

Almost all townspeople were already home, planning to celebrate Christmas with their families, so a small dram-shop on the outskirts of the town was almost empty.

A tall plump blonde girl wearing a leather jacket, who was sitting at the bar, looked around boring. That was non other then Belinda Krüger. The German had already liquored up few mugs of beer and now thought to go. She looked around again and saw a familiar face.

"Alicia?" Belinda shouted to a redhead girl wearing a blue dress, who was just coming into the dram-shop.

"Belinda?" the French girl smiled and came nearby "Glad to see you! How're you, my friend?"

"I am fine, thank you." Belinda pointed at a barstool "Take a sit. How do you do?"

"Oh, this world is really too small!" they both heard a displeased female voice. Belinda fetched a sigh. She recognized who that was and slowly turned around to run into a haughty brunette, who could be non other then Molly. "Hallo, Molly. Please, take a seat, if you can, of course!" she laughed. Molly smirked "I'm very surprised, you can sit." she said.

"Hey, girls, what's the matter with you?" suddenly a pink-haired girl wearing a blue denim dress came nearby. "What about not to ruin such a beautiful evening?" she winked "My name is Clair, I'm from the United States. What about you?"

"I'm Alicia, from France!" Alicia replied "Nice to meet you, Clair."

"I'm Molly," Molly responded "And I'm here from Great Britain."

"My name is Belinda" the German answered "And I am from Germany. Yes, nice too meet you."

"Well, then. My name is Elvira and I'm from Italy" a tall brunette wearing an evening dress suddenly joined to girls "It looks like we have a kind of Internationale here" she smiled.

"So, girls, since it's a Christmas Eve, and we're so far from our homes, what about to celebrate it together?" Clair suggested.

Before anyone had answered a tall slim blonde came nearby the bar. She smiled and nodded to Belinda.

"Oh, Belinda! Hi! How're you? Would you be so nice to introduce me to your friends?" she asked.

"Hallo, Tina!" Belinda smiled "Well, girls, this is Tina, my old Swedish friend. And..." before Belinda continued, Tina playfully interrupted her "I overheard you" she laughed "And, since you all have no idea, where to spent this Christmas Eve, I can suggest you something." she winked.

"I hope it'll be interesting enough!" Molly replied.

"For sure!" Tina smiled "How can a tour of the old Swedish castle be not interesting! Or are you afraid of ghosts?"

"Me?!" Molly resented "Never!"

"Then, I suppose, this will be an adventure!" Elvira smiled.
