It was the day of the show's recording.

Kyle stood in front of the mirror and asked Kay, "Is this okay? Do I look ok? Is it too much? Too little?"

Kyle was wearing an off-white turtleneck sweater, with dark blue jeans and dark high top sneakers. His hair was back to black (Kyle conceding to Delilah's nagging to get it 'back to natural colour before school') and had the hairstylist actually style his hair into the high textured modern quiff.

Kay laughed, coming over and fixing the fold of the turtleneck sweater behind his neck.

"I've never seen you this flustered before," Kay said, patting his chest as they both looked in the mirror.

Kay was wearing a white tight-fitting T-shirt, dark jeans, and ankle-length leather boots. The outfit was completed with a long-sleeve mid-length dark cashmere jacket/sweater. Simple, and warm. The studio would be heated, of course, so she could easily take off the jacket and fold it nicely on her lap if it was too warm.

"Won't you be too hot with that sweater?" Kay asked worriedly.

"One has to suffer to look cool," Kyle said with a smirk, upon which that earned him with a huge smack on the shoulder.

He laughed, then hugged Kay and answered, "Don't worry. It's not wool and I'm wearing skin tight undershirt. It's just nice. Not too warm or too thin to be cold later."

Kyle reached out for his black trenchcoat and wore it, and looked at Kay.

"I guess we're playing up the twin thing today? Our outfits match," Kyle said, putting his arm across Kay's shoulder.

"Yeah, we look good," Kay replied with a smile.

"Did you get the questions that they're going to ask?" Kay asked him as they headed down. Their room was on the top floor while the living room and dining room was below.

"Nope," Kyle said, "Something about wanting it to be all-natural or what-not. I think Ellen has something up her sleeve."

"Will you be ready for whatever she dishes out?" Kay asked with a smile.

Kyle shrugged, "No idea. Let's see how it goes, shall we?"

They arrived at the studio in plenty of time. Sam, Kay and Xing Han were ushered to their VIP seats without having to wait in the cattle call area. They were led to the front row itself, and Xing Han was nervous.

"Do you think they'll ask us questions?" he whispered towards Kay.

"Possibly," Kay said, "Anything is possible."

"Just remember not to pick your nose or something, Xing Han," reminded Sam, "Even if it doesn't seem like the camera is facing us, it's likely that there would be constant shots. You never know what can happen."

"I do not pick my nose!" Xing Han retorted, sitting back in his chair in a huff, "Not in public anyway."

Kyle, in the meantime, was being led by one star-struck girl to the dressing room.

She had been working at the studio for a few months now and was always nervous during these times. It was a dream job and she didn't want her unprofessionalism to cause her to be fired. When she heard that today's guest was Keanu, she was ecstatic.

Unfortunately, she was assigned to the other guest. Some Kyle Smith. She had been so disappointed that she didn't check up on who the guest was. So when she saw this 'Kyle Smith', she kicked herself. She was almost lost in those deep, blue eyes and dimple that she nearly drooled.

She led him to the dressing room, and saw her co-worker leading Keanu there as well.

Kyle, seeing Keanu, waved happily and jogged over, giving him a handshake. Keanu laughed, patted Kyle on the back and said, "Great to see you again, kid. Ready to face your first ever show?"

Kyle patted his chest, smiled widely then said, "No."

Keanu laughed even harder, and they chatted as they went into the dressing room. Just before closing the door, Kyle turned back to the two girls and gave them his Million-Dollar Watt Smile and said, "Thank you."

The girls just nodded.

The show started.

The Ellen Show music starts and then the camera pans to show Ellen behind stage, tossing a mint in the air. Today, was a good day as she managed to catch it in her mouth and she grinned at the camera while giving a fist bump in the air.

She then came out, running through the first and second-row seats before going onto the stage. Her energy was contagious and everyone whooped and clapped loudly. The show went on for a few things before it was the highlight.

The guest stars.

After the break, the crew go the stage ready and two single sofa seats were placed side by side, and Ellen's chair was placed on the other side. In the middle, was a round table with three dark 'Ellen' mugs and there was a big screen right behind the setting.

"Our guests tonight just happen to be trending right now, with this particular teaser trailer," Ellen said as she stood there, grinning away.

Behind her, the screen started showing John Wick 4 teaser trailer, causing the audience to scream throughout, thoroughly amusing Ellen. Once it was over, she just looked at the audience, laughing a bit and said, "My, that was a rather mild reaction."

The audience shouted again.

"Yes, please welcome, Keanu Reeves!"
