1976 was a big year for the girls, bigger than any other year as ABBA, and they had so many hits, 'Fernando' being one, though it was Anni-Frid's solo song first, the girls decided to record an English version, and were they ever glad they did as it became a huge hit all over the world! But little did they know the best was yet to come...

They had just about finished their recording for the album 'Arrival', and had released their 'Dancing Queen', which was their signature song, reaching #1 in many countries!

When the girls were recording this song, they knew this one was special.

ABBA had become extremely popular by this time in Australia, and the girls were invited to come to Australia for the TV special. While they were excited they were going out of Europe for the first time, they didn't know what to expect. But they were up for adventure, and this was their biggest one yet!

They sat on that plane in Stockholm, and after a stopover in Singapore, finally landed in Sydney. Needless to say, they were very tired after traveling a day and a half so they went straight to bed. It was night time anyway.

Two days later, they filmed the special. They were very pleased to see families with young children in their audience, and Agnetha excitedly announced that she and Anni-Frid were about to sing their famous song 'Waterloo'!

It was then, the girls tore off their long skirts from their iconic cat T-shirts and danced as they sang, having the time of their lives! They finished off with 'So Long', doing that famous dance at the end.

After the show was over, the girls were exhausted, yet satisfied. They returned to their hotel in Circular Quay, and treated themselves to a warm bubble bath in the jacuzzi.

"Ah, this is the life!" Said Agnetha as she relaxed, soaking in the bath with her wife. The feeling of being in the silky, lavender-scented bath was amazing beyond description, after the girls were on their feet all day. They even had champagne in the bath as a toast to their success!

They washed each other's bodies, while kissing tenderly, twirling in the silky waters together.

They then ordered some room service dinner, after which they called their families back in Europe, where it was morning.

"So tell me, how's Australia?" Asked Britta while talking to the girls.

"Certainly different to Sweden and Norway." Said Agnetha.

"The beaches around here are very beautiful." Said Anni-Frid. "We tend to hang around the inner western suburbs and the southern suburbs. The southern suburbs are the beaches that we like."

"It must be warmer over there." Said Britta. After hearing from other family members, the girls decided to call it a night. But not before making love.

They kissed passionately, dropping their robes, since they didn't bother to get dressed after their warm bath.

Afterwards, the couple lay together in each other's arms, finding it hard to believe they'd achieved this international success! 'Dancing Queen' even reached #1 in America!

The couple returned to Sweden a few days later.

"It's great to be home." Said Anni-Frid.

"I'll say." Agreed Agnetha. They were driven back to their home, and were only too thrilled to be back there. While they enjoyed Australia, they did sometimes feel a bit homesick, and felt a rush as they plane touched down in Sweden.

They had a bath before sitting down to a home-cooked dinner and Nordic TV, cuddling up on the couch.

Anni-Frid then went to get some Marabou milk chocolate from the cupboard.

"Oh yes!" Said Agnetha, excited. They nibbled on their dessert while watching the sitcoms 'Are You Being Served', followed by 'George & Mildred' (the sitcoms had Swedish subtitles). This was their Friday night routine, unless of course, they had other obligations, and they watched 'Are You Being Served' since the show began in 1972.

"I love how Mrs Slocombe has different hairdos on the show." Said Anni-Frid.

"Me too." Said Agnetha. "I love the different colors, and what not. It spices things up, doesn't it?"

"Definitely." Said Anni-Frid. After the show was over, they each asked the other simultaneously "wanna go to bed?", answering "yes" also simultaneously, causing them to both laugh hysterically. They kissed, and then went to bed to make love.
