(I haven't though so much about the time and such. Like if it's day or night when they are flying.)

"Australia, here we come!" Frida shouted on their way to the plane. The others smiled. Along the way there were fans waving goodbye, and this time it was a cordon so they wouldn't come too close. But all four were actually feeling really great. They did give-me-five with the fans, smiled and waved. It would be fun to come to Australia.
They had hired a plane which would take them and their whole crew of 100 people there.

Frida, Björn, Benny and Agnetha turned around a last time and waved to the sea of screaming and crying people before they entered the plane. Agnetha sighed. "Holy shit."
"What honey?" Björn asked and wrapped his arm around her.
"I hate flying!"
"I know... But just remember, you take a much bigger risk everyday you're driving our car..."
Agnetha sighed again. "Yeah, I know..."

Agnetha fell asleep at once. But the flight would be long. It would take 24 hours to get to Australia and they had to take a break and land in Bangkok. It was served drinks and food on the plane all the time, and people were happy and celebrated. ABBA's first tour in Australia! And what they had heard, the excitment down there was on top.

"God, I miss our Tropical Loveland" Frida said to Benny and they looked at each other. Benny laughed slightly. "Me too... Help me remember that you have to lie with me in a shade of a tree..." Both laughed. "Looking forward" Frida said and giggled. Then she looked back at the sleeping Agnetha. She thought that she wanted to do that with her too. Lie with her in a shade of a tree. Frida couldn't resist to smile when she looked at Agnetha. She was so wonderful, so cute... She was everything.

Everyone was happy to leave the cold Sweden. It had been a really cold winter this year. Suddenly Frida started to sing quiet.

"Come to my loveland, wander along.
Beautiful gardens full of flowers and songs."

Soon even Benny and Björn started to sing, and then some in the crew burat into song too.

"Come to the sunshine, beaches and sand. Here's the two bluebirds, won't you come to my land?
The grass is mellow and the sky is blue. My paradise is waiting here for you.
Oooh, it's a tropical loveland. Oooh, I wanna share it with you.
Life can be funny, happy and sunny.
Oooh, in my tropical loveland..."

When the song was over everyone applauded and laughed. It was such a good atmosphere. Björn saw how Agnetha started to move next to him and he laid his hand on her leg. She took the hand and smiled before she opened up her blue eyes. "Why did everyone applaud? Did I miss something?" she wondered.
"Well, no. It was just kind of the whole crew singing Tropical Loveland..." Björn laughed, and Agnetha smiled. "Hm, weird that I didn't wake up."
"Haha, yeah." They smiled against each other and Björn kissed her cheek. But suddenly Agnetha became sad. She let go of Björn's hand and leaned her head against the little window. It scared her, to see the clouds and realise how high up in the sky they actually were. But she just watched anyway. Björn laid his hand on her shoulder. "Is it something?"
"No... I'm just so tired. Thank you for caring." Agnetha turned around and smiled against her husband.

But actually she knew exactly what it was. When he kissed her, she got a huge feeling of guilt. He showed her love, and Agnetha showed back. But he didn't know at all that her heart belonged to Frida too. He thought that he was the only one for her, and that made Agnetha so sad and full of guilt. She had to do something soon, before she would go crazy...
Thinking of Frida made her heart beating fast, and it was like she couldn't breath. But it was because she missed her so much. She wanted to touch her, to feel her lips against hers...

After 12 hours flying they landed in Bangkok. It was the middle of the night, and they would stay there until the next morning. Which would be around 3 hours. A hotel was booked and everyone got there to get some sleep. Agnetha who had slept most of the time on the plane was wide-awake. "I wanna do something!"
"Please Aggie, it's three o'clock! I wanna sleep..."
Agnetha sighed. "Okay, I go out."
"No! Not alone... Have you forgotten who you are? And by the way, out alone in the middle of the night isn't that good anyway... You never know what idiots you may find..."
"Sure, dad" Agnetha said bitterly. But at the same time her heart did a little loop in the chest. Björn cared...

Soon Björn was asleep and Agnetha sat still wide-awake on the sofa. She hugged a pillow and looked out of the window. The moon was big and the light was shining bright. With a sigh Agnetha went up and took one of the two keys to their room and went out. She had to go to the toilet and soon she found it down the corridor. Suddenly she felt how someone walked into her as she passed a corner, and when she met the person's eyes they both burst into laughter. It was Frida! They hugged and then kissed fast. "Hi" Frida said. "Hi" Agnetha said. "You can't sleep?"
Agnetha shook her head. "Not me either."

The light became brighter and brighter. They were flying against the day, it was around lunch time in Australia.

When they came out from the plane there were a lot of press. People asked qestions, and they tried to answer as many as possible.
"Frida, how is it to be back here in Australia?"
"It's wonderful! I've missed it!"
"Benny, is it true that Frida is pregnant?"
"What?! No!"
"Agnetha, did the flight went well? We all know that you don't like flying."
"Well, yes. I slept almost all the time."
"Björn, is it true that you and Agnetha will divorce?"
"No, that's just a rumour. I hope!"
Agnetha heard his answer and felt her heart aching. How would it be if she could lay all her love on Frida?

After answering the very exited press, they continued to the cars waiting for them a bit away. And around there the even more exited fans were waiting. A very loud scream was heard and people cried like they were about to lose someone they loved or something. Frida had to look away, and hide her discusted face when a fan got so exided that she threw up. They were surrounded by people crying hysterical. Sure, they had been before. But this was the record... They had never seen anything like it. Arms reached out for them. Tried to get a grip. Agnetha began to feel some kind of panic, but soon Frida and Benny were in one of the cars, and Agnetha and Björn in the other. In front of them there were police cars and riding polices. The driver had to drive very slow, because people were in front of the car. Agnetha tried to keep a happy face and waved. Suddenly they saw how a mother put out her child right in front on the car to make it stop. "Oh my god!" Agnetha exclaimed. "That's horrible..."
"Agree..." Björn said.

The whole way to the hotel it was like that. And they had to wave all the time, they wanted to make people happy. But it was hard to make these hysterical scary people happy... And this was just the beggining.
