Waterloo 1974

Eurovision Song Contest

"God! I can't believe we're in England!" Agnetha exclaimed as they got off the plane. "I know! This is gonna be fab!" Frida said with a smile.

A taxi came and pick them up and drove to the artist hotel. When they were there they qickly got out of the taxi and ran up the stairs. They didn't want anyone to see them if they for any reason knew who they were already.

"God, we're in Brighton!" Frida yelled when she and Benny got up to their room. Benny smiled and gave her a kiss. "And we'll win Eurovision" he said. "Don't hope too much!" Frida answered. "I'm serious. It's a really good song, and it's even better now with the English lyrics."

"Yeah, you're right."

"And there's another thing..."

"What?"

"All the extinguishers at the hotel are from the brand Waterloo..."

"What, no way?!" Frida exclaimed and walked to the extinguisher in the corner of the room. When she saw that Benny had right she started to laugh. "Oh my god! That's kinda scary!" Benny laughed. "If you look like this when you get scared, I really need to scare you more often... You're just adorable..." Frida gave him a smile before she threw herself against him so they both fell down in the bed. Frida started to take of her clothes but stopped it. "Oh... No, no..."

"What is it?" Benny wondered.

"We're not gonna have sex!" Frida yelled.

"What? Why?!" he wondered totally confused with a panic in his voice.

"Because Agnetha and Björn are right... We fuck every time when we're going to do a performance... Like we're doing it because we're nervous or something."

"Frida, when did you start to care about what others think?" She looked into his blue eyes with a sigh. "Yeah... You're right."

"And in fact, we hook up quite often anyway!" Benny said with a laugh. "Right again" Frida said with a smile and then continued to take off the clothes.

"God, I'm so tired!" Agnetha said and threw herself on the bed as fast as they entered the room. Björn did the same after a while, and they just looked at each other. "The best thing in the world is just to look at you" Agnetha said and stroked his cheek. Björn gave her a little kiss. "I bet that Benny and Frida have taken off their clothes now!" Agnetha said as a joke. Björn laughed. "For sure."

"Let's do the same thing..." she said and stroked his chest with a finger. "We haven't done it for weeks!"

"Isn't it weird if we do it at the same time as they do it?" Björn wondered with a smile. "Yeah, the sickest thing ever! But that really doesn't matter, does it?"

"No..." Björn answered and they started kissing each other.

"But, really. We don't know if they do it. I mean, they maybe don't do it for once!"

I just want to say that: They did...

A little bit later Frida and Benny just low in the bed next to each other and talked about a little bit of everything.

"Benny, I've though about a thing."

"What?" 

"Wouldn't it be weird if Agnetha and Björn like... You know fuck, at the same time as we do it?"

"Is that a thing you think about?! God... But, yes. It would be very weird. I don't really know why. Probably because we spend so much time together. We like live together... We have maybe started to think in the same way!" Frida laughed. "Come here. Let's get dressed. We ask them if they wanna take a walk with us."

(NEXT DAY)

Björn, Agnetha, Frida and Benny came out from the rehearsal of Euroivision together with Stikkan, Sven-Olof, Ola and Rutger (the back band and conductor). "That was nice!" Stikkan exclaimed. "I really, really believe in this."

"Yeah. You gonna win!" Ola said. "No. WE, gonna win" Benny answered. "We wouldn't be here without you" Björn said. "Thanks a lot!"

"Everything for you" Rutger said with a made to grin, and everybody started to laugh.

"Maybe we should do something today?" Frida said back in the lobby. She looked at Agnetha with a secret smile and she knew exactly what she meant. "Shopping!!" they said at the same time with a laugh. "No..." Björn sigh. "What's wrong with shopping? I thought you liked it" Agnetha said. Benny, who felt the same way, answered for Björn. "Yes, we both do. But not with the two of you..." He smiled teasingly. "It can be a bit... hysterical" Björn filled in. "Okay. We maybe can meet up somewhere later? I want to do something with just Benny too."

"Like whaaat?" Agnetha wondered with a secret smile as she gave Frida a little nudge with her elbow. "Aggie, shut your little cute mouth!" She laughed.

All four took a taxi to London, which is a 1 h and 37 min's ride. When they got there they said goodbye for now. "Bye honey" Björn said and gave Agnetha a kiss. Benny did the same thing to Frida. "Let's meet on Piccadilly Circus in two hours."

"I just love England!" Agnetha said as she and Frida walked down Regent Street to meet up with Björn and Benny. "Me too!" Frida said. "I could even think of living here" Agnetha continued.

"Hmm... Not me. It's a bit too rainy and too much alike Sweden! Someday, when I'm an old lady, I will live in a warm country. Or at least have a house that I can be in when I want."

"Not a bad idea. You have to invite me then!"

"Of couse I'll do. I promise, I will be your friend forever. Think when we're like 60-70 or something!"

"God, for some reason it's hard to imagine that... But yeah, we'll be friends forever. Untill death divide us..." Frida laid her arm around Agnetha's shoulders and gave her a kiss on the cheek. "I love you."

"Love you too."

Later they met Benny and Björn before they differed again. Frida and Benny went away together hand in hand, and Björn and Agnetha did the same.

They came to the hotel again quite early. Eurovision was the next day and they had to sleep. But before that they ate dinner together in the dining room.

"So. Tomorrow, we gonna win. Alright?" Björn said.

"But is everything about to win?" Agnetha wondered. "No, but now when we have make it this far it would feel quite needlessly everything if we not do that."

"Okay, true."

"Benny, tell them about the extinguishers." Frida said with a smile. Agnetha and Björn looked curiously at Benny. "What?"

"All the extinguishers at the hotel are from the brand Waterloo."

"Oh my god! That's so cool!" Agnetha exclaimed and started to laugh.

Then they went to bed and tried to sleep well so they would be alert and rested the next day.

(NEXT DAY, AT THE COMPETITION)

"How does it feel?" Benny asked Frida as he looked at her with a worried face. "Just great! This is the best day of my life!"

"What? You look destroyed... Like an empty shell without feelings."

"I'm too happy to show it. It's too much feelings to take. This is soo big!"

Benny smiled and kissed her. "You're so wise..."

"Here is ABBA from Sweden with Waterloo!!"

They ran out with a big smile on their faces. And not just because it was a performance, they really were happy.

My, my. At Waterloo, Napoleon did surrender.
Oh, yeah. And I have met my destiny in quite a similar way.
The history book on the shelf, is almost repeating itself.

Waterloo, I was defeated you won the war.
Waterloo, promise to love you forever more.
Waterloo, couldn't escape if I wanted to.
Waterloo, knowing my fate is to be with you.
Woah, woah, woah, woah, Waterloo, finally facing my Waterloo....

And the we all know how it goes! They won of course!^-^
