Björn woke up by the horrible hungry feeling in his stomach. He sat up on the sand and groaned a bit because of the pain in his back. He stood up immediately and started to "explore" the little mini island. "God, it isn't even the half of Viggsö! And Viggsö is really small..." he said to himself. He took a walk around the island and became dissapointed when he realised there were... nothing... There were just sand, rocks, trees, some grass in the middle and bushes. With a sigh he sat down and looked out over the sea. He could see nothing. Just the horizon. No boats...

Björn got surprised when he felt a hand on his shoulder, and turned around fast and saw Frida. "Hi" she said without any emotions. "Hi" Björn answedred the same way. She sat down next to him. Frida fixed her eyes on the horizon, just like Björn. "What do think will happen? I haven't seen a single boat" Frida said still with the gaze far, far away. "I don't know... It maybe comes one. If not, we will die here after the water has gone..."
"Great, Björn! Good way of thinking!" Frida exclaimed followed by a laugh. Björn smiled. "I think we can do it. We can get water to drink by boil the sea water."
"How? Do we have any matches here?"
"Yeah, two perfect matches!" Frida said and roared of laugher. Björn grinned.
"Oh, come on Frida!"
"I'm sorry... But seriously, we don't need any matches. I can make a fire with stone and wood" Frida said proud. "Great! But not now I'm afraid. It will be wet at least two days or something."
"Yeah. But the water we already have can we drink during these two days."
"And fire to keep us warm then?"
"Oh, the human body is the best heater! We just have to keep close..."
"Like you and Benny did here two days ago?"
"Shut up..."

Around lunch time, they thought, Agnetha and Benny woke uo too. "Morning sleepyheads!" Frida said. She sat on the beach and was drawing something. "Morning" Benny said and went away to Björn who was sitting on a stone some meters away after giving Frida a kiss. Agnetha walked towards Frida and sat down next to. "What are you doing?"
"Drawing."
"What?"
"Us."
Agnetha looked at the picture in the sand of all four performing on stage together. "Nice!"
"Thank you..." she said, but then both burst into a big laugher. No, it wasn't nice... Actually it was really bad... Frida put down the stick she had been drawing with, with a sigh. Then she leaned her head against Agnetha's shoulder. Agnetha pat her back. "I'm afraid. What if we don't get home for a long while. I mean, we have been out now for four more days than planned" Frida said. Agnetha reallt felt the same way, and thought that they would have to be there for a while. But for once she had the opportunity to do something for Frida that she did for Agnetha almost all the time.
"We will be found soon. This won't take too long" Agnetha said and looked at her best friend, and smiled. Frida smiled back.
"You're right... But what should we do? I mean there are nothing here!"
Agnetha laughed. "We can draw in the sand..."
"Hm, very fun..." Frida mumbled and Agnetha laughed quiet again. "Well, okay... We can sing" she said. "Of course. Without guitar..."
"We don't need any guitar. It sounds nice anyway!"
"Yeah, but it isn't cosy without a guitar!"
Agnetha laughed again, which made Frida laugh.

They sat there on the "beach" for a quite long time. It wasn't actually a beach. It was a little collection of dirty sand from the sea. "I'm cold..." Agnetha said while shattering teeth. Then Frida crept closer and wrapped her arms around her. "Better?"
"Eh, no... You're as cold as I am! But thank you anyway... You're so sweet..." Frida smiled and then kissed Agnetha's cold cheek. They were quiet for a little while, but then Agnetha opened her mouth again. "I heard from Björn that you and Benny had a nice time here on the beach some days ago..." She laughed. Frida sighed. "Please, just forget it! Fuck you Björn!!"
"What?!" Björn wondered from the rock. "We'll see if you even sent a message in a bottle back to Sweden so the press now know about it!"
"Know about what?!"
"That Benny and I fucked on a little island!!" Björn, Agnetha and Benny started to laugh. They just couldn't stop for some reason. And that made Frida laugh too. "What's so funny by the way?" Frida wondered. "It sounded so brilliant!" Agnetha exclaimed between the laughter. "Wait, I just realised a thing!" Benny said. "Oh, that was new" Björn said. "Ah, shut up! But anyway, we can scream anything we want out here. No one will hear us. Except from the fishes of course. And maybe Bob... Do you think he's alive?" They started to laugh even more. "Sadly I don't think so..." Frida said and stopped laughing. "No..." Agnetha said.
"Rest in peace Bob..." Benny said. But the quiet minute for the rat Bob didn't last for very long. It became a quiet second, because then they started to laugh. Again...

"So what should we scream?" Agnetha wondered when they had calm down a bit. "I LOVE BENNY AND HATE FERMENTED HERRING!!!" Frida screamed then. And surprise, they started to laugh again. "LOOK HERE! WE'RE ABBA!!" Björn screamed. If it had been at home people would have been crazy and run to them at once. "I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SCREAM MORE THAN I LOVE ALL OF YOU BUT ESPACIALLY BJÖRN OF COURSE BECAUSE HE'S MY HUSBAND!!"
"I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT YOU SCREAMED THAT YOU DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO SCREAM BECAUSE YOU SCREAMED A VERY LONG SENTENCE!!" Benny shouted.

When the sun began to go down all four was lying next to each other and wathed the orange-gold-purple sunset. "I can't believe that I say this. But it has actually been a great day today" Frida said. "I agree. But it has been cold.." Agnetha said. "Yeah..." Frida mumbled back. "I'm glad that it was you three I got stuck on an island with" Benny said. "Me too" Björn said. "Together forever?" Frida wondered. "Always" Agnetha said. "Together" Björn said. "Forever" Benny said.
