It's lovely day to explore Moscow for the three American girls. The girl named Roe, whose caramel colored skin glistened under the sun, when stepped out of the hotel door. She wore a white jacket over her yellow summer dress, and a white sneaker. Her friends followed her with the same enthusiasm.
"Roe, this is so exciting!" She heard her bubbly friend exclaim.
Roe, turned to her friend Tricia, who has darker skin than her but has a body of a supermodel. Charming, smart, and full of energy. A beautiful person inside and out. She was wearing a ripped jeans, tank top and sneakers.
"I know! Finally! Moscow!" Roe exclaimed.
"You have to keep it down girls. " Their blonde hair, pale skin friend, Candice said.
Candice was wearing a pink summer dress and sandals. She's wearing a big hat, and her camera hangs from her neck.
Tricia rolled her eyes.
"Come on Candice. Don't be such a killjoy. " Tricia said.
"Okay. Girls, cut it out. We have a whole day ahead of us. Let's not ruin it. Let's go!" Roe said grabbing both her friends hands before dragging them.
Roe, Tricia and Candice have been best friends since grade school. And now they are on a vacation trip. They just graduated from high school, and they decided to travel to Russia before, they go on separate ways for college.

Photos after photos. Places after places. Candice's cameras must've been full already, with all the pictures have taken. They've tried Russian food which was a delight. Actually they've tried every food on every food stalls they see. They have also bough some small trinkets as souvenirs.
In the late afternoon, the three friends found themselves tired of roaming the city and just settled to have a cup of coffee in a coffee shop not far from the Kremlin.
"Are we going to visit the Kremlin now?" Candice asked.
"Of Course! We're here already! The Kremlin is practically right in front of us! We have to go! We have to go!" Tricia exclaimed.
"Alright! Alright! Just stop bouncing like basketball. " Candice groaned.
Candice and Tricia have always been so opposite to one another. Tricia was bubbly and energetic. Always excited, she's like the energizer bunny. Candice on the other hand was the prim and proper lady. She's kind of shy and quiet most of the time. Despite their differences, they are still best friends who's always have each others backs.
And Roe, she's the glue that keeps them together. Her attitude is like of her friends. She's energetic but can be shy and reserved if she wants to.
Roe giggled.
"You better lay off the coffee and sweets Tricia. " Roe said.
Tricia pouted.
"And why is that?" Tricia whined.
"You are close to bouncing like Tigger." Candice answered.
"Meanie." Tricia said and stuck her tongue out.

After the coffee, the three friends begun exploring the Kremlin.
They were in a middle of taking photos when Tricia's phone battery died.
"Oh damn. My phone died. The universe is conspiring against me!" Tricia cried dramatically.
Her friends chuckled at her childish behavior, and they continued to roam the place.
All the while they are exploring, the whole place brings chills on Roe's spine. Not the usual chills that are unpleasant. It's kind of nice. A relaxing and exciting at the same time kind of nice. Her skin began to tickle like a very low voltage of electricity is running through it.
Then she felt a tug in her heart. A tug that made her look around. She even felt eyes burning wholes at her back.
She was brought out of her thought when Tricia and Candice began dragging her somewhere.
'What was that?' She asked herself.
'I hope that happens in Kremlin, stays in Kremlin.' she thought.
