The Reunion 2015

~Chapter 8~

Agnetha woke up five o'clock in the morning. She was very nervous, and had problems with eating her breakfast. All ABBA members would be at the morning tv show Nyhetsmorgon today and talk about the reunion. All of them... They hadn't been seen together in any interview since... Yeah, the split up.

Agnetha put on her clothes. She didn't do any makeup. She knew that they fixed it there, because it had to be okay with the light and cameras and stuff.

"Why do you go up so early?" Henry asked tired from the bed though he woke up by Frida. "We'll be in Nyhetsmorgon today. I told you that yesterday..."
"Sorry, I must have forgotten."

When Björn came to the studio in a taxi he met Agnetha outside.
"Good morning" he said with a alert and happy voice. "How the hell can you be so awake...?" Agnetha asked and yawned soon after. Björn laughed. "I use to go up this early, most of the time."
"What?!"
"Yeah..."
"Why?"
"Because I like it. And I use to take long walks in the morning. When it's not spring and summer of course. Then I run."
"You run...?"
"Yup. I'll never stop running before the day I die."
Agnetha started to laugh. "Well. I can see in front of me how you wearing sports clothes coming there with your walker in the future..."
Björn laughed, and so did Agnetha. "God, now I can see it too...! Okay, I will run as long as I don't need a walker..." Agnetha smiled. "Or get any problem with parts of the body... I have started to get a bad hip actually." "Don't talk about this."
"What?"
"Where it hurts, and like that it's so boring everything and life sucks!"
"I never said that!"
"No, but that it hurts. It's so typical old people I think..."
"But, Björn. We ARE old!" Agnetha laughed and Björn smiled.

Soon Benny and Frida came too, and they went into the studio. People working there looked at them like they had never seen humans before. One woman burst into tears.
"God..." Frida sighed. People came to them and wanted to take pictures, say hi and get autographs. And shake their hands. Finally they got into a room that looks pretty much as a living room. It was some kind of restroom for the program's guests. There was the man who hosted the program. "Hi!" he exclaimed and shook everybodys hands. All four smiled. "So nice to have you here. Really cool that you will reunite. Guess if I will buy a ticket! When are they released?"
"The day after tomorrow" Agnetha said. "Okay, thank you so much."

They got showed to the styling room where they got their make-up and hair done. "Wow! I haven't had such nice make up since... Well, the ABBA years" Frida said and looked at herself in the mirror. "Thank you" she said the stylist. "Glad you like it" he said and gave her a happy smile.

Soon the cameras were rolling, and Agnetha, Benny, Björn and Frida sat all around the big table opposite the host. Frida saw that Agnetha was nervous, she took her hand under the table and gave her a smile. Agnetha smiled back

The host told about who guested the program. Then he turned his head against them. "Hi Frida, Agnetha, Benny and Björ! Nice to see you!"
"Hi" they said, thanked and showed a big smile. "So, why are you here? Can you tell? I'm sure that already a lot of people know, but for the ones who don't." The host smiled. "Yeah... It's like that that we have decided to get back together, to do a last little tour" Björn said. "And it won't be long!" Frida added fast and everybody laughed. "How long? Which countries will you visit?"
"We start here in Sweden of course, in Friends Arena. And then we do two concerts" Benny said. "And then we will be in Denmark. And the other countries are Germany, England, Switzerland, Netherlands and France. And then we will have a like break before we go to the USA."
"It were still quite many countries" thd host said. "Well, yeah" Agnetha said. "But we won't do more than one show in each country. Except from Sweden, and Germany, right?" Agnetha turned her head against the others. And they nodded. "Yes."

"Can I just ask. How are you working together now? I mean, no one have seen you together since you broke up."
"No..." Björn said. "We have always been a bit afraid of who we would work together, so therefor we haven't meet. But now we decided to try, and it worked very well."
"It can has something to do with the fact that we're like thirty years older now..." Frida said and everyone laughed.

Soon the interview was over. Benny and Björn would work on the new song, so they took a taxi home to Benny. "Do you want to do something?" Frida asked Agnetha. "Yeah. Like what?"
"First we can take some lunch at Grand Hotel?"
"Sure. I'm really hungry!"

After the lunch they decided to take a walk. They went to a park and sat down on a bench. The bench was frozen and cold, but they didn't care. They had long and warm coats on.
"I remember this park so well" Frida said. "Me too" Agnetha said with a smile. "Can you believe that it has been almost the same same for over forty years?"
Agnetha shook her head. "What's your speial memory from this place?" Frida asked. "Well... When Björn and I just had been a couple, we went to Stockholm a few days... It was just magical. We lived there." Agnetha pointed at the hotel down the street. "So we passed this park everytime we went out. And..." Agnetha laughed. "What?!" Frida asked excided who understood it was something special. "That time we were here, was the first time we had sex..." Frida laughed. "Not in the park?!"
Agnetha laughed so hard that she lost her breath. "No!! In our room at the hotel!"
"Oh, allright!" Frida laughed.
"You're so weird Frida..."
"Oh my god, déjà vu!" Frida exclaimed. "What?"
"Do you remember that autumn when we had a photo session in this park?"
"Yeah."
"Then you said that I was weird too!"
"How can you remember that?"
"I remember almost everything from those years... But Björn doesn't! He doesn't remember anything. And he calls the ABBA years for 'diffuse porridge.'" Agnetha laughed hard. "Porridge?!"
"Yeah..."
"Hm... I think though that ABBA was much more than porridge" Agnetha said and both laughed.
