Ariana Grande

"Ariana, we're leaving in 10 seconds."

"Justin, if you forgot, I'm pregnant. I can't exactly make it down the stairs in 10 seconds."

"Oh yeah. I totally forgot." He says sarcastically.

"Don't play with me right now, Justin." He stays silent as I walk outside and to the car.

At the Set

"Ariana and Justin, come on." Scooter says, beckoning us to a side door.

We walk towards him and inside.

"Glad to see you on time. We need to get you both to wardrobe, then hair and make up."

"Make up?" Justin says.

"Yeah. Just a little on you so you won't look like a ghost under the lighting. Don't worry, its not much." Scooter says.

We follow him down the backstage hallway and to a room marked wardrobe.

"Your stylists will get you your clothes then lead you to your separate dressing rooms to get dressed."

We walk in and immediately, people rush towards us.

"Here's your outfits. Come on." A woman leads me to another room and closes the door.

"You can get dressed in there while we get your makeup ready." The woman says.

I walk in the room she pointed to and change into the dress she gave me. When I walk back out, they sit me in a chair and start working on my makeup.

"I know this is a little weird, but we didn't have any time to get introduced before the interview today

"I know this is a little weird, but we didn't have any time to get introduced before the interview today. I'm Dalina, and this is Daniel."

"Hey. I'm Ariana."

"Yeah, we know. Close your eyes." I follow their directions and they begin with eye shadow.

10 Minutes Later

"And we're done. Stand up and put these shoes on. We know its not good for you to walk in these since you're pregnant, but its just for a bit." I put the shoes on and stand up.

"You look beautiful, honey. Now, go out there and Scooter will be waiting for you." I walk outside the door and Scooter smiles.

"You look amazing, Ariana. Justin is over here. I'm just gonna talk to you about interview's because we have a couple minutes before you go on."

"First of all, do you have any questions?"

"First of all, do you have any questions?"

"No."

"Good. Now, be honest about everything, because if you lie about anything, they will find out. Don't get afraid of any questions. They're just words, they can't hurt you."

"Anything else?" Justin says.

"Nothing but be yourselves. You're very amazing people and I'm sure they'll love you."

"We need to get their earpieces and microphones." Says the stage manager.

Scooter nods and someone comes over to put our microphones on. 2 minutes later, he's gone and its 4:28 pm.

"Next, we have some very special guests with us. Please welcome, new celebrity couple, Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber." Scooter sends an encouraging smile our way before we walk on stage and the crowd claps.

"Hey. Welcome to they show. How are you?"

We're amazing. Thank you."

"Good, good. Now we're gonna start with the most obvious question on everyone's mind: what's your favorite color?" I smile and she laughs.

"No, I'm just kidding. But how old are you both?"

"I'm 17." I answer.

"18." Justin says.

"And Ariana, when will you be 18?"

"June 26."

"Oh, so coming up pretty soon. How far along are you?"

"4 months tomorrow."

"Congratulations. Do you know the gender? And have you figured out any names."

"Its a girl." People cheer in the crowd and I pause.

"We haven't decided on a name yet."

"Well we can't wait to see what you come up with. So, about your music. Do you have any songs yet?"

"Yes, we do actually. Its called As Long As You Love Me ."

"Cool, cool. How is celebrity life treating you?"

"Fine, I guess. We haven't really done anything yet so we're not sure." Justin says.

"That's a good answer. Is there anything you wanna say to the people watching?"

"Sure. Always follow your dreams, no matter what happens. It will all work out in the end."

"Aww, that's sweet. Justin?"

"I think she said it all." He replies.

"Well, thank you for coming. We'll be right back after the break." The on air sign goes off and I sigh.

"That was stressful." I say.

"What are you talking about? You did great. And you'll have to get used to it." Ellen replies.

"Thanks. Its very nice to meet you."

"You too. I have to take a break before we come back on air. Thank you so much for coming."

"No problem." I walk off stage then Justin follows and Scooter smiles.

"Great job for your first interview."
