Our driver had just told us that we're 5 minutes out from the Ellen Degeneres' studio. My publicist is currently on her phone doing some work behind me, my personal assistant beside me watching as the outside world pass by, and my manager sits in the passenger seat and is also typing away on her phone.
Then there's me, fidgeting with my rings trying to pass my anxiousness to the jewelry. I'd be lying if I said I never get nervous when it comes to doing interviews because I always do. People will be watching these interviews you know? How I say things, my body language, my choice of words could be all easily be scrutinized. But I also have been in front of the spotlight since I was a kid, I was basically trained how to act 'appropriately' in public.
Before I could even go deeper into my thoughts I feel the van stop followed by the sound of doors opening and slamming shut. I follow suit and trail slightly behind my team as we walk into the studio. I greet everyone we pass by as one of the crew leads us to my dressing room. After about 20 minutes another crew member knocks on our door and tells us that I will be up in 10.
I look at myself in the vanity mirror one last time and turn around heading to the opening door where I would be entering from. My manager tells me good luck, my publicist quickly reminds me of things I can not announce yet, and finally, my personal assistant tells me to just be me.
I smile at them and face the entrance as one of the stage crew counts me in cue.

"Our first guest today is not only incredibly beautiful but also smart, witty, and very very talented. Please give a round of applause to the one and only, Alycia Debnam Carey."
And that was my cue. I give my biggest warm smile as I walk on stage making my way to Ellen and also waving to the audience.
"Oh my goodness! Hi!" I squeal hugging Ellen and she quickly hugs me back after saying hi.
I continue to smile at the audience as I sit down on the armchair opposite Ellen.
"Oh my gosh, I finally made it to the armchair for the first time! I'm slightly freaking out." I confess with a nervous laugh that followed right after.
"I know! I'm so glad to finally have you. It's been long overdue honestly."
"It really is!"
{Short time skip}
After a while of talking about the projects that I currently have at the moment, I finally started to relax more.
"Okay, so I decided we can play a little game, you're single now right?" Ellen turns to me for confirmation while the audience roars.
I blush a little, "Yes I am still very single. Have been for a while." I laugh and give the audience an exaggerated wink.
"Okay perfect well then let's play a little game called Who'd You Rather, you up for it Ms. Carey?" Ellen wiggles her eyebrows at me making me laugh.
"I'm a little nervous but let's do it," I confess making Ellen laugh and question why.
"Because I know for a fact that there would be headlines about me and whoever I end up picking from this game later on." Ellen nods agreeing with me while having a smile plastered on her face.
"Well, who cares about them. A game is a game. All right let's get started!"
The first round of pictures popped up. Chris Hemsworth vs. Tom Holland
"Oooo umm Tom Holland."
Tom Holland vs. Zendaya
"Oh my, Zendaya."
Zendaya vs. Harry Styles
"Zendaya."
Zendaya vs. Jesse Williams
"Oh damn um, Jesse."
Jesse Williams vs. William Levy
"William Levy."
William Levy vs. Scarlett Johansson
"Oh, my baby! Scarlett!"
Scarlett Johansson vs. Elizabeth Olsen
"Oh no!" I laugh nervously.
"Who will it be Alycia?" Ellen taunts me with a smirk.
"That's so hard!!" I exclaimed making the audience laugh.
"Sorry Scar, I'm going to have to go with Elizabeth." I blush slightly smiling big as the audience roar louder.
"There ya have it, folks! Elizabeth give her a call!" Suddenly Ellen turns to me, "Aren't you friends with Elizabeth?" she questions.
"No, I've never met her at all. I would love to though!" Ellen gives me a confused face before replying, "But you're literally best friends with the Olsen twins?"
"Yeah and ...?" I'm so confused, I'm not sure where Ellen is trying to get at. I continue to study her face until it finally hit me. Olsen.
"Oh my gosh! Elizabeth Olsen is MK's and Ashley's sister?!? What the hell?" I state in full shock but a smile still evident on my face.
Ellen laughs at my face, "I can not believe you didn't know. How the heck did you not know this?"
I shrugged shyly, "I swear it never came up in any of our conversations. Funny thing is, I also have met their parents and I can't believe I still never knew about Elizabeth."
"Oh my, I guess the Olsen twins have a lot of explaining to do!"
"Yes, yes they truly do. MK, Ashley, your asses are mine when I see you two in New York."
"Aww, you're visiting them in New York soon?"
"Yeah I am, I promised them yesterday I would come. I haven't seen them in months and I'm really exci-"
"BOO!!!" someone yells in my ears making me yell and covering my mouth.
The crowd laughs and screams at the same time as I try to recover from my mini heart attack. I stand up and turn around to see who the culprit is.
"Scarlett! You little shit! Oh my goodness!" I was stunned to see Scarlett but happy nonetheless.
After Scarlett recovered from her fits of laughter she finally gives me a tight hug, "You should have seen your face, that was hilarious."
"No, not funny at all. I swear I just had a mini heart attack." I pout playfully as we pull back from the hug.
She gives me a stern face and slaps my arm, "I can't believe you picked Lizzie over me. How rude!"

After the day I had, I'm finally back home in my PJ's. I slipped in my bed and pull out my phone to go through my social media before bed. I know it's a bad habit and I'm trying to break it but sometimes you just gotta.
After a few minutes, the twins started texting in the group chat I had with them.
MK: I heard what happened, that was truly hilarious!
Ash: So you have a little crush huh ;)
Me: Oh my goodness. First of all, fuck off. I can't believe y'all never told me that. Even after I said I would love Marvel! And second of all, it was just a game so don't your panties in a twist Ash.
Ash: Sure babe sure
MK: Sorry! It never came up and honestly, I completely forgot
Me: Mmmhmmm, I seriously sounded so dumb not knowing it!
MK: It's ok, you look adorable confused anyways!
Ash: Lol you really do, anyway, we're seeing you at our party next week correct?
Me: Yes ma'am!
MK: Awesome! Maybe you'll finally meet Lizzie!
Me: HA. HA. HA.
