The Ulvaeus Family

It's cancelled...

Love reading your comments. Thank you for reading. ❤️

A bit longer chapter... hope you like it... let me know what you think. 🥰

It was 9.00 AM and they needed to hurry. They still have at least 20-minute drive to Polar Studios, and they still needed to drop the kids off at Björn's parents. Luckily the Lyngstad-Andersson kids were all already at school. Agnetha and Björn dropped Linda and Christian off at Björn's parents and Frida and Benny just followed along before they all got into Benny's car and drove to the studio together.

They arrived just in time for the meeting to start. Görel was patiently waiting... there were still a couple minutes left till 10.00 AM. Stig, on the other hand couldn't sit still. He was bringing good news after all. He passed the length of the office and was beginning to get quite impatient. What was taking them so long?

"Hej," the four friends greeted their two colleagues as they entered the office just minutes before 10.00 AM. Görel smiled at them and returned the greeting, hugging each of them. It's been a while since they last saw each other. She was pleasantly surprised by their affections towards each other. Agnetha and Björn have been fighting pretty badly these past few months and she was beginning to be worried about the fate of their marriage and their relationship. She could see the change in all four friends, and she was happy about it. Whatever it was... it did them good.

"Where were you!?!?" exclaimed Stig. "I've been waiting here for hours!" "Stig... it's only 9.57 AM..." Görel interrupted him. She wasn't happy about the way he treated these four wonderful people. He put money before anything else and if he will change in the future... it probably won't be for the better but rather for the worse. "Shut up, Görel!" he screamed, making the eyes of the four ABBA members widen dramatically. They've never seen him act like that. "You're nothing but a stupid replaceable secretary!" he added in the heat of the moment. He will probably regret this later. She was indeed a very good friend to him...

Görel's eyes filled with tears, and she was ready to flee the room but Frida stopped her. She wanted her there for this. She pulled her in a hug and just held her while the boys berated Stig. "Who the hell do you think you are!?!" Benny approached Stig. "You can't treat Görel like that!" Björn nodded to his friend's words. He was with Benny on this 100%. "She's a secretary... she doesn't get to tell me what I do..." Stig was ashamed of his behaviour but was just too stubborn to admit that.

They all calmed down after a bit and the meeting could finally commence. "Ok..." Görel started shyly, still a bit shocked after Stig's outburst earlier, but was comforted by Frida softly caressing her back. "Today's topics are the UNICEF concert, Switzerland, the new album – Voulez-Vous, all the other appearances and finally the North American tour in September and part of October, the European tour in October and November and the Tour in Japan in March 1980," Görel announced.

The four friends exchanged worried looks. They totally forgot about the European leg of the 1979 tour and didn't even focus on anything in 1980 yet. After a moment of silent communication between the four even that was decided. The European tour will depend on how they feel by then and they will do the Japan tour in full. They liked it there and all wanted to go back. Now it was time for the hard part – telling Stig about the news.

"Let's start with the tour!" Stig said excitedly. "How about we start at the beginning... with the UNICEF concert," Björn countered. They all wanted to decide the details about something at least before they broke the news. If they start with the tour they won't get anywhere! "Ok..." Stig answered disappointed. He really wanted to talk about the tour. Especially the North American one!
