Take a Chance on Me (Frida x Agnetha/ABBA) (#Wattys2024)

Chapter One

In January of 1968, I was doing a TV show. I was at the mirror, fixing my makeup when I saw a gorgeous blonde behind me in the mirror. She's the most stunning blonde I'd ever seen in my life. Her long, blonde hair, her figure. I tried not think much of it. Until the moment I heard her voice.
"Is anyone using this?" She asked.
I looked at her, "no. Be my guest." I replied with a smile.
The gorgeous girl smiled back at me. When she stood next to me, I turned to look at her. When she looked back at me, I saw her stunning blue eyes for the first time. The same blue eyes I fell in love with.
"What's your name?" I asked filling our silence
"Agnetha but you can call me Anna if you like." Anna replied.
I'm Anni-Frid but everyone calls me Frida."
Half an hour of talking later, it was Annas turn to go and sing. The moment I heard her sing, my heart melted. Her voice is just as anglic as she is. After the song was over and Anna came backstage, I hugged her.
"You sounded wonderful, Anna!" I exclaimed maybe a little too enthusiastically.
"Thank you, Frida!" Anna smiled.
A few moments later, it was my turn.
"Looks like I'm up." I say as I stand up and walk to the stage.
"Good luck!" Anna called to me. I looked back to see her smiling at me. My heart was racing by now. Not only out of nerves but out of whatever I'm feeling for Anna. I walked out onstage trembling. I was so happy when it was over. It felt like the longest four minutes of my life. I walked backstage to see Anna crying. I walked up to her and put my arm around her shoulders.
"What's wrong?" I asked gently.
"Nothing. Your voice and that song are so beautiful. Sometimes music really gets to me. You know?" Anna replied through her tears.
"Yeah. I get it. Thank you, Anna."
A little more than an hour later, the show was done and all the performers were asked to come on stage. When that was over, we had to go. Which really saddened me because I had no idea if Anna and I would ever see each other again.
"I had so much fun talking with you today, Anna." I said smiling.
"Me too, Frida! We may never see each other again. I'm going to miss you so much." Anna pouted.
"I'll miss you, too. I hope we see each other again, someday. As nerdy as I'm about to sound, let's not say goodbye. This will just be see you later."
Anna smiled at me then hugged me tight. The hug and the smile made me weak. After, I packed my stuff and we both left.
