THE lights in the studio dimmed and the cameras panned over to jimmy fallon at his desk. the audience cheered and he spoke, "ladies and gentlemen, someone we've wanted back for a long time; willow blake!"

the audience began cheering once again as the 20 year old came out from behind the curtain and made her way over to him, greeting him with a hug before sitting in her chair.

jimmy started again when the crowd calmed down, a few hollers here and there as willow waved to them, "willow, how are you doing? it's been a while since you were last on the show!"

the brunette nodded, "yeah it's been what, almost a year now? i'm doing pretty good. my album came out a bit ago and we just announced the tour—"

the crowd began cheering again.

"—so we're getting ready for that to start."

"speaking of the tour," jimmy held up a board that showed the album cover for 'the end', "when is that going to start?"

willow didn't speak right away, contemplating in her mind whether she wanted to have a scolding from gina later about revealing the dates or not, before finally deciding, "all I'll say is that sometime in the next week we'll be selling tickets."

the crowd once again began cheering at the information, most of them being huge fans of the singer.

THE sit down interview had finished and now willow and jimmy were ready to play a game, one he liked to call the whisper challenge.

"so, how this game works is that here we have willow who is listening to some pretty good music," willow could be heard lightly singing along to the music, coincidentally it being one of the songs off her new album, 'how do you love somebody'.

jimmy continued, "what's going to happen is that i have a list of phrases we're going to tell willow and she is going to try and figure out what i'm saying. if she wins - everyone in the audience will win deluxe editions of 'the end' but if i win and she can't guess these phrases - only 1 lucky member of the audience will be getting one."

the crowd broke out in another round of cheers, giving their full confidence in the girl that she could get all 3 phrases correct.

"okay, okay! let's start!" jimmy silenced them.

he signalled to willow that they were ready to begin the game and started once he knew she was ready, "labradoodle"

"llama shoe"

"labradoodle"

"llama shoe. llamas don't wear shoes, I know it's not that"

jimmy laughed and so did the audience, "labra—"

"llama— nope!"

jimmy tried sounding it out better, "la- bra"

"libra"

"la-br-A" He emphasized the last sound more.

"labra-LABRADOR!"

"yes! wait no!" everyone momentarily cheered when they thought she had gotten it, quickly turning quiet again when they realized it was not the intended outcome.

jimmy tried again, "la!-bra!-do!-dle!"

"libra drawing? the hell is that?"

jimmy, without thinking any further, said the word again and made small paws with his hands, pretending to bark, "labra-doodle"

"OH! LABRADOODLE!" jimmy nodded to her, glad he didn't have to embarrass himself anymore, and she clapped in excitement. only 2 more to go.

the audience calmed down and watched as jimmy tried the next phrase, "seven layer dip"

"selfie something"

"se-vvv-e-nnn" jimmy exaggerated each part of the word.

"seven?"

jimmy nodded, "layer"

"seven nation army"

jimmy had to stop for a second, the answer coming out of no where. he turned to the audience, "in what world does layer look like nation?"

"anyway, layer"

she finally got it, "seven layer"

"dip"

"seven layer dip"

"yes!" the band played cheerful music for the girl's correct guess while jimmy hyped up the audience, "last one, if she gets this correct then everyone in the audience is going home with a signed version of 'the end'!"

the music stopped and everyone focused on jimmy and willow.

"willow"

"willow" she pointed to herself.

"is performing"

"is performing"

he nodded as she got everything right, "at the tokyo dome"

"you're on your own?"

"at the tokyo dome" he tried again.

"ohhh! at the tokyo dome!"

"on september 22nd"

the crowd went wild, their shocked cheers so loud jimmy couldn't even hear willow.

"on september 22nd!"

they now cheered a second time for willow getting all 3 phrases correct, a staff worker quickly wheeling out enough copies of the album on a cart that would be going to the audience.

the show ended with everyone in the audience gathering in a line, almost meet and greet style, to receive their signed album and meet willow.
