The Reunion 2015

~Chapter 4~

Already the next day, they told people about the new. ABBA's official instagram and fackebook page wrote it. The ABBA museum wrote about it there too. It spread to different fanblogs and fanpages, and they told.

"I think that I have to take some singing lessons again" Agnetha said. She and Frida sat around the table at the porch and looked out over the frozen water. "Me too" Frida said. "Didn't you take any lessons before you sang 1865?"
"Yes I did. But I have already forgotten everything!" Both laughed. "I'm almost changing my mind about this" Agnetha sighed. "What? Why?"
"It's just too much... And how can we meet everyone's expectations?"
"I'm sure it will be fine. The fans know that we're old now... That's by the way one of the reasons why I want to do it now" Frida said. "We're old. This is maybe the last chance before we can't do anything!"
"Ha! I promise you. You will be able to do things like thit later! You're soon seventy years old and you do like downhill race down steep mountains, and mountain climbing!" Frida laughed. "That's actually true. I'm a bit too old for that I think anyway. But I don't care, because I want to do the things I love before I'm WAY to old, or even dead." Agnetha nodded and understood. "I don't do things like that. I don't dare. I will die unhappy..."
"But are you unhappy then? Aren't you doing the thing you really like and care about. To be with your family and take care of them. I'm not a family person you know!"
"Yeah, I know that... You're right. I'm doing what I want. And that's also a reason why I start to change my mind about the reunion. Is this something that makes me happy? And I wanna do these days?" Agnetha wondered. "If I know you right Aggie, it's something you wanna do. Sure, some parts of it can be tough, but the main thing: to be on stage and sing, is something you really wanna do." Agnetha smiled against Frida, and she smiled back. They hugged each other. Agnetha started to cry. "I'm so glad that you're here with me... I can feel so alone sometimes, but when you're here it's like my heart becomes completed. And I just want to say that you have been my strenght through all these years. Since the day we met..."
"Aw, Aggie..." Frida said and fought against the tears. They looked deep into each others eyes. "Do you remember when we first met?" Frida asked with a smile. "Yeah" Agnetha said and smiled back. "I always will, until the day my brain stops working..."

Benny and Björn were out for a walk. "What do you think about the reunion then?" Björn asked Benny. "I think it will be nice. But we maybe need to change some songs a bit. So Frida and Agnetha don't die..." Björn laughed. "Yeah, that's a good idea... Do you want to write a new song we can release as a little extra thing?" Benny liked the idea. "Yeah, that would be awesome!"
"Can't we do it like Justin Bieber style?" Björn asked and looked at Benny. Benny stared at him during silence. After a while Björn couldn't take Benny's "are you serious" face anymore. "I was just kidding of course!"
"Good for you" Benny said and both started to laugh.

Suddenly Björn's mobile rang. He answered, of course. It was Görel.
"Hi, Görel!"
"Hi! Do you have anything to do tomorrow?"
"No... I don't think so. Not more than a normal working day in the studio."
"Okay, good. Would you and the others mind to be on Nyhetsmorgon (Swedish news program) and talk about the reunion?"
"Why not? I'll talk to them. Thank you, bye!"
"Bye!"

"Who was it?" Benny asked. "Görel. She wondered if we would like to appear on Nyhetsmorgon and talk about the reunion."
"Of course we want to! We just have to ask Frida and Agnetha."

Benny and Björn didn't have something to do, so why not go home to Agnetha for a while and talk?

They rang the door bell and Agnetha came out opening. "Hi!"
"Hi! Can we come in?"
"Of course. Frida's here too..."
Benny and Björn laughed and thought it was so typical that Frida was there.

"So, what is it?" Agnetha wondered as she served her friends coffee who sat around the table. "We just wanted to meet you. And ask you both, so it's good you're here Frida, if you would mind to visit Nyhetsmorgon tomorrow?"
Agnetha sat down too and looked at Björn who gave her a wondering face. "Already?"
"Yeah, why not?"

Frida saw that Agnetha thought everything happened too fast. She knew her exactly in and out.
"Isn't it better if we plan the tour first, and maybe talk some more about how things will work? I mean, we have just decided this, and it's quite a big thing... Actually I thought this would never happen. I'm still chocked that it will be..." Frida said. Agnetha nodded. "Yes, I agree."
Björn sighed. "Me too. Björn, we maybe should plan more" Benny said. "But tell them that we all want to come, but a bit later on." Frida and Benny gave each other a look.
"God..." Agnetha said and a smile grew on her lips. "What?" Frida said and turned her head against Agnetha. "That look... I haven't seen it for like, thirty years!"
"What do you mean?" Benny asked. Björn saw it too. "Oh, come on! Everyone know that you two had some sort of special look you gave each other. And no one knew what it meant! And I saw it now too!"
"Sure... I don't think we would give each other "a look" that we haven't given each other for thirty years..." Frida said and laughed. Benny agreed. "Alright, believe it if you want... But I saw it!" Agnetha said. "You maybe have got some kind of nostalgic thing that makes you do that" Björn said with a teasing smile. Frida and Benny looked at each other.

"God, I love this song!" Frida exclaimed when she and Agnetha heard Katy Perry's Roar in the car. They were on their way to a restaurant. Agnetha turned up the volume. "Me too."
Frida started to hum the melody. Then Agnetha started to do it too. "What do you think of todays artists?" Frida suddenly wondered. "Eh... Different... Some are very good, but there are a lot of crap too. But of course, there were crap back in our days too."
"Yeah... But not in the same way" Frida said. "No... An artist I really can't understand is Justin Bieber. I mean, sure he can sing. But he's so... I don't know. I just don't like him!"
"I can't understand Nick Minaj... Why doesn't she wear any clothes?!"
Agnetha laughed. "But, actually we were quite naked some times back then too."
"Yeah. But we didn't make discusting videos, or sang such lyrics on that! And we had A LOT more clothes than she use to have."
"God, we sound so typical grandmother now..." Agnetha laughed. "We are grandmothers!"
"True" Agnetha answered and both laughed. "I'm glad you're here" she said. "I'm glad to be here with you and the others" Frida said and gave her friend a smile.

"Wait... Katy Perry doesn't wear that many clothes always either" Agnetha said as they got out of the car. Frida sighed, and then laughed. "I thought we leaved that discussion... But, that's true. But she makes quite good music, that is really easy to like."
