?ALIGNED?

'' thank you so much inviting me tonight, i've been waiting for our reunion for so long."

"oh please, the pleasures all mine", replied Jimmy Fallon.

the pair sat on the stage of his show, THE TONIGHT SHOW, in front of a buzzing live audience. Khalia exuded elegance in a dark green pleated skirt paired with a matching blazer, complemented by a white, low-cut top. her look was elevated by white block-platform heels, and a delicate gold necklace adorned with a flower pendant graced her neck.

From her ears dangled mini gold hoops c while the rest of her piercings featured a mix of intricate designed like stars and hearts, adding a playful edmar to her sophisticated outfit. her hair was styled into a sleep mid-bun, with a few loose curls falling into the side of her face. gold rings encrusted with rubies adorned her fingers, adding a touch of regal glamour to her polished appearance.

"it's been so many years since i've been here, it feels so good to be back."

"aww well we've all missed you here at the studio Khalia, haven't we guys?"

he turns to the live audience who cheer with excitement, causing the young woman to smile; trying to contain her joy.

"so what have you been up to recently?"

"well Jimmy, for the past 5 years i've been working in England. Bridgerton has been such an amazing project that i've been blessed to work on. i mean the cast is made up of such charismatic and influential individuals who have really helped me come into my acting skills, so i couldn't be more happy but sadly my time of the show has come to an end, so i have returned to the states and am working on a few new things out here."

"wow, can i just say that Melody was my favourite character in Bridgerton and you executed the role so beautifully."

"thank you so much, i really enjoyed playing such a non-conventional character you know, usually the characters i have the privilege of embodying aren't as opinionated and optimistic, but Melody really helped me tap into my creativity."

"yeah you were fantastic, is there any specific genre that you would like to be in?"

"yes actually, i'm really hoping that one day i'm able to be casted for a Rom-Com, i mean they're my favourite types of movies of all time and i think it would be so much fun."

"what's your favourite Rom-Com? Mines Crazy Stupid Love."

"ooohh what an amazing choice, i have to say that mine is How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days."

"oh wait i love that one too."

they both laughed and for the rest of the evening, they played all sorts of trivial games and activities that really brought out the fun side of Khalia.

"so before we go, i just wanted to show you this clip from a while back, when you last visited us."

"oh no."

the clip played, and it was of her and timothee, who had been interviewed for their joint lead roles in Bones and All. in the clip the pair were participating in a race around the studio on roller-skates but as she turned the corner, Khalia tripped over a cable and fell through the backdrop.

"noooo, i swear that video still haunts me to this day, people literally DM it to me and make it into TikTok memes."

"hahaha i can imagine, i reposted one once", Jimmy joked.

"that day was fun though, i won't lie."

"i think it's one of the most memorable episodes ive ever had, how is timothee doing anyways."

"you know, since i went back to England i haven't really been in communication with anyone like that. i sort of took a long break from social media, hence why i haven't really been to any award shows or parties. it would be nice to catch up with him, he's such a genuine soul and i spent a lot of my teenage years working with him. he has become so influential and every-time i see him on my screen i can't help but smile. "

"well hopefully the two of you can catch up soon, make sure to invite me. but do you ever think your going to go back to that loud lifestyle or no?"

"yeah, this year i'm going to try and get myself back out there, and with me being back in the States i think it may be a partier again."

"yesssss, when i announced that you were coming on a lot of people were actually so excited in the comments and thought that it was some sort of joke."

"i know i literally got tagged in so many posts too, im just grateful that people are so positive about it, that's one of the reasons why im excited to return back to this lifestyle."

"thank you for having me here tonight Jimmy, and thank you to all the members in the audience for coming here and making this night memorable."

"alright everyone that all for tonight's show, let's give one last round of applause for our special guest KHALIA REECE."
