A/N: And here's the much awaited new chapter of All Worlds Alliance Missions - Aikatsu on Parade and Christmas-related chapter nonetheless! And take note, this is the very first Christmas-related chapter I've ever done since I started this fic back in 2016! Honestly, I never thought of writing one until now and I'm glad I did.
Also, I noticed that some of you are sadden by Davis & Tomoko's break-up. Don't worry, they'll get some new love interests in the future! A harem to be exact for the latter.
Bloodyguy - Again... you could just PMed me.
Number01BlazblueFan - That's interesting. I haven't caught up with the manga yet but I might start soon.
And with that done, let's get this chapter started!
Disclaimer: I don't own any characters appearing in this fic except if it's my OCs which rarely makes an appearance.
-Normal Earth/EARTH 10519-
Tokyo, Japan
It's Christmas Season and we see Chizuru Tachibana, Cesaro Oohori, Yuuki Asaba, Madoka Kaname and Kenji Kazama making their way towards the main stage of Dream Academy where the Aikatsu! New World Festival is doing a Christmas event.
"So, the three of you have been hanging out with Raki-chan and the girls while were busy in our mission?" Madoka concluded.
Yuuki nodded. "Yup.'' he confirmed, "And it all started because we fell into a magical trap door.'' he reminisced.
"We really had fun hanging out with the girls.'' Oohori confessed, "We get to meet a lot of idols on the process.'' he added.
"Weren't you guys suppose to find out whose responsible with the merging of two worlds?'' Kenji questioned.
"Another reason why were sticking with Raki-chan is because it's believed that her older sister is responsible for the merging of two worlds.'' Chizuru replied.
"Have you met her yet?'' Madoka asked.
Oohori nodded, "Yeah.'' he confirmed, "But she vanished before we could even question her.'' he stated.
"She's extremely elusive and you don't know when or where she's gonna pop out.'' Yuuki commented.
"Well! The moment I see Raki-chan's sister, I'm gonna catch her in a headlock, tie her up on a chair, question her and get answers, put her inside a sack and toss her in the gulf of Mexico.'' Chizuru declared with an evil grin.
Kenji gave him a blank expression, "You've been hanging out with Dan Mandel, aren't you?'' he pointed out in question.
Later the five arrives at the Main Stage of Dream Academy alongside a large number of fans and found themselves near the stage, much to their joy and relief. On stage, we see Raki Kiseki, Madoka Amahane and Noel Otoshiro, all three are wearing a reindeer costume from the neck down, and are currently hosting the event with three large screens behind them and a large titantron on the top of the stage.
"It's all led to this, the final day of the Aikatsu! New World Fest!" Raki announced.
"Christmas Stages will be held at all five participating schools.'' Madoka A. added.
"We'll be showing live footage of each school from the Main Stage here at Dream Academy.'' Noel concluded.
"We three will be your hosts.'' Madoka A. declared, "Madoka Amahane!" she introduced herself.
"Raki Kiseki!" Raki followed.
"And Noel Otoshiro!" Noel finished.
"We're everybody's little sisters, the Angel Sisters!" the three girls introduced themselves all together with smiles on their faces, causing everyone to cheer in excitement.
"Wow! They look so cute!" Madoka K. commented in awe.
"Her name is Madoka.'' Yuuki mused.
"And she has pink hair.'' Chizuru pointed out.
"And wears it in pigtails, too!" Oohori added.
"Oh, ha-ha!" Madoka K. grumbled in annoyance.
"Don't these girls realized how stupid they look in those costumes?!" Kenji questioned in disbelief.
Oohori shrugged, "People likes how cute they look, so I guess there's no problem.'' he replied.
"Let's jump straight into a performance!" Raki announced.
"These four will be warming up the Christmas Stage for us.'' Madoka A. stated.
"From the Dream Academy... Seira Otoshiro-chan, Kii Saegusa-chan, Sora Kazesawa-chan and Maria Himesato-chan!" Raki introduced the performers one by one.
"They'll be singing the perfect song to tie all five idol schools together.'' Noel shared.
And with that, Seira and three more girls appears on stage.
The first girl has bright blonde hair with puffy, balloon-like twintails, each tied with a green ribbon and cerulean eyes. This is Kii Saegusa.
The second girl has blue-to-purple ombre hair and pale pink eyes. She has a single braid in her hair that's held in place by a pink flower, she has pale a skin and a beauty mark near her chin. This Sora Kazesawa.
The third girl has caramel-colored hair that is styled into ringlets with a portion held up with a flower hairband. She has dark purple eyes and fair skin. This is Maria Himesato.
All four girls are wearing colorful dress as they started to sing and dance.

After their performance, the crowd gave them a loud applause, Seira, Kii, Sora and Maria bowed their heads and waves their hands in gratitude.
"Bravo! Bravo! You girls are awesome!" Oohori cheered rather wildly.
"Calm down you nimrod!" Kenji exclaimed in annoyance.
"Looks like someone forgot to take his pills.'' Yuuki muttered in disbelief.
After Seira, Kii, Sora and Maria got off stage, Raki, Madoka A. and Noel came back on stage.
"Now then!" Raki begun, "Apart from the performances, we have tons of other Christmas events at all the schools today!" she revealed.
"Let's take a look at them in the big screen.'' Noel beckoned.
"Now to our reported, Maria-chan!" Madoka A. called out.
The big screen then shows a live footage of a snowy mountain somewhere in Japan and here we see Maria standing in front of a snow-covered forest with a pink helicopter behind her.
"Hello.'' Maria greeted, "Ring ding-a-ling!" she cheered, "This is Maria Himesato, coming to you live from high up on a mountain.'' she announced, "In order to create a giant Christmas Tree, a group of idols have come to chop down a magnificent tree.'' she explained.
"How did she got there so fast?" Kenji questioned in disbelief.
Then the footage focuses on three idols, all wearing various winter attires, standing next to a large, snow-covered tree.
The first girl has a green, downward slanted eyes with skinny spread-out lashes. Her long, navel-length dark cordovan hair is worn loose with short pigtails held by light green ribbon adorned by a white sphere with a star design. Her thick spiked bangs are brushed mostly to the right with a singular layer over the middle and slightly longer forelocks. She has shoulder-length ear-tails. This is Wakaba Harukaze.
The second girl has ginger hair and vermilion eyes. Her hair is tied into two chignon buns, which has an appearance similar to drills. This is Otome Arisugawa.
The third has peridot green eyes and short pink hair that goes to the nape of her neck. Her hair is styled in a layered bob and is decorated with a flower hair clip. This is Sakura Kitaooji.
"And there she is! Wielding an axe is Wakaba Harukaze!" Maria introduced.
After listening to Sakura and Otome's instructions, Wakaba nodded in understanding, "Okay, okay...'' she hummed, "So that's how it's done.'' she concluded before smiling and saluting at the same time, "I memorized it whole!" she claimed, "I'll do my best to make this the best fest ever!" she declared, "Here I go!" she beckoned before taking off her coat and twirling her axe, she then charges towards the tree, "Ai... KATSU!" she shouted and with all her strength, she swung her axe hard on the tree and despite only hitting it once, the impact of her strike was so strong, the tree tips over the snow-covered ground, "I did it!" Wakaba cheered while Sakura and Otome smiled in excitement.
Upon witnessing what Wakaba did, Chizuru, Oohori, Yuuki and Kenji had an over exaggerated Grand Blue-level looks of shock on their faces.
"W-What strength?!" Kenji squawked.
"I-Is she even normal?'' Chizuru questioned.
Madoka K. giggled, "Looks like we found our Japanese Supergirl!" she mused.
Maria then turns to the screen, "What a splendid cut.'' she complimented, "With that complete, I'll be helicoptering out to report on another venue.'' she said with a smile.
And with that said, Maria and her crew left the mountain area using her pink-colored helicopter.
"Thank you for the coverage!" Raki said in gratitude.
"It's an idol tradition to make the biggest tree as possible.'' Madoka A. inquired.
"By the way, that was a private helicopter owned by Maria-chan's company.'' Noel pointed out.
"She's an unbelievable amount of rich!" Madoka A. exclaimed in awe.
"Madoka-chan, you sure are direct...'' Raki commented in disbelief.
Kenji scoffed, "It's obvious that she's a rich girl based from her looks and her pink-colored helicopter.'' he pointed out.
"You sure good at judging people based on their looks.'' Yuuki commented.
"Let's take a look at what's happening elsewhere.'' Noel beckoned, "To the next reporter, Seira-oneechan!" she called out.
The big screen then shows a live footage at Four Star Academy where everyone see Seira at the courtyard with a guitar in hand.
"La-la-la~" Seira greeted via singing while strumming her guitar, "I've planted myself firmly at Four Star Academy!" she announced, "At this school, idols of all stripes are working together to create an enormous Christmas cake.'' she explained.
The footage then focuses on a number of idols working on three gigantic cakes. Amongs the idols working are Ema Hinata, Yume Nijino, Rin Kurosawa, Hime Shiratori, Karen Kamishiro, Yuu Hattori, Haruka Ruka, Tsubaki Saionji, Kokoro Momoi, Yuri Ashida and Kaede Ichinose.
Tsubaki has bright, sharp cerulean eyes and long, thickly curled burnt caramel worn loose with her bangs pulled back into a ponytail held by a purple ribbon. Her forelocks frame her face, and she has long curled strands of hair worn on each shoulder. When training she usually pulls her hair up in a large braid. In the manga, her hair is dark red and she wore a large, purple and black striped ribbon. She wears a Starlight Academy uniform.
Kokoro has fuchsia eyes and short hair with streaks of pink and shoulder-length curled forelocks. Her bangs are in three thick sections, two of which are dyed entirely pink. She wears a pink bow with white hearts on it. She wears a Four Star Academy uniform.
Yuri has dark purple-auburn hair with short, mid-ear length bangs curving inward and her bangs tucked beneath them except for a single section in the center. Her hair reaches her shoulders while slightly flaring out. Her eyes are violet. She wears a Neo Venus Ark uniform.
Kaede has cropped, curly red hair and rosy-pink eyes. Her hair is usually held together with a silver pin that has a gold diamond. She also usually wears a brown choker and a white bracelet. She wears a Starlight Academy uniform.
Seira then appears next to Kaede, "Let's interview one of the participants.'' the student from Dream Academy beckoned, "What kind of cake are you making?'' she asked.
"That's a secret.'' Kaede answered, "You'll have to wait to see how it comes out.'' she advised.
Seira gasped, "Don't tell me... is it a sushi cake?!" she exclaimed in dread.
Suddenly, Kaede took off her apron and uniform, revealing her sushi-making attire, "Yes! Kaede Sushi!" she cheered with a thumbs-up before giving her a sheepish smile, "Oh, no, no! There's no way we'd do that!" she corrected with a giggle, "We're making a magical surprise cake, so just you wait!" she beckoned, "Let's enjoy!" she cheered before blowing a kiss.
"Who wants to eat cake made of sushi anyway?'' Kenji questioned in disbelief.
"Sushi lovers, I guess.'' Madoka K. replied.
Madoka A. then spoke, "A collab event that breaks the boundaries between schools is certain to get your blood pumping!" she said with a smile.
Noel then turns to Raki, "Speaking of collabs, didn't you get the chance to sing with Ichigo Hoshimiya-san recently, Raki-chan?'' she pointed out.
"Kyaha! That's right!" Raki confirmed, "It was my first time doing a collab or forming Friends, so while I was pretty nervous, it was also a lot of fun.'' she explained with a smile.
"I'm so jealous.'' Noel admitted, "I'd love to share the stage with Ichigo-chan someday.'' she said with a smile.
Madoka A. then spoke, "And if that gets you excited, then you'll be happy to hear that Hoshimiya-senpai is here for a collab show today!" she announced.
Raki then raised her hand up, "With me!" she announced, "See you on the other side!" she beckoned, "Ciao!" she cheered before getting off stage.
"Please enjoy Hoshimiya-senpai and Raki-chan's adorable collab Friends, Lucky Strawberry!" Madoka A. beckoned, "They'll be singing...'' she trailed, "Admired Customization!" she announced alongside Noel.
And with that, Ichigo Hoshimiya and Raki got on stage, both are wearing their respected colorful dresses, as they started their performance.

After their performance, the crowd gave them a loud applause, Ichigo and Raki bowed their heads and waves their hands in gratitude.
"Seeing those two perform together brings tears into my eyes.'' Chizuru confessed while wiping a single tear on his left eye.
"Mine is blood.'' Oohori muttered with blood literally flowing down his face.
"WIPE YOUR GODDAMNED FACE YA CREEP!" Kenji exclaimed.
Meanwhile in a room somewhere in Starlight Academy, we see three girls looking staring at boxes of light bulbs with nervous looks on their faces.
The first girl has fair skin and slightly slanted, turquoise eyes. Her vibrant orange hair is long and worn in a thick side-tail with a wing hair clip and a braid folded over her head like a headband. She has tuft forelocks that nearly reach her chest, while her bangs form around her forehead with a small split on the corner. She wears a Starlight Academy uniform. This is Michelle Tachibana.
The second girl has fair skin and gentle purple eyes with a downward slant. Her midnight blue hair is worn in a hime cut, adorned by a small star on either side of the head above the ear. She wears a Starlight Academy uniform. This is Asami Himuro.
The third girl has curvy, dull maroon eyes and dark chestnut hair worn in a side-tail, while her fluffy bangs and forelocks frame her face. She wears a Starlight Academy uniform. This is Yuna Nakayama.
"What should we do?'' Yuna questioned while trying to connect a light bulb at one socket but doesn't fit, "We got the wrong light bulbs.'' she muttered in concern.
Back at the Main Stage of Dream Academy, we see Kii walking down the halls of the backstage area before entering a room where she saw Sora staring at a computer screen.
"I heard there was trouble?'' Kii questioned.
Sora turns to her, "Yes, it appears so.'' she confirmed, "The light bulbs for the tree were ordered in the wrong size, so none of them can be used.'' she stated.
"The lighting of the giant tree is an essential part of the fest's climax.'' Kii pointed out in concern.
"Can we gather enough light bulbs in time?'' Sora asked.
Kii place a finger under her chin, "We need a huge amount but if enough people split up now and buy as many as they can, it might still be possible.'' she stated.
"But all of us idols are all tied up in our own stages and events.'' Sora pointed out, "Nobody can leave for a shopping run.'' she added.
Kii then grabs her head with both hands, "Uwaaa! What now?!" she cried in panic.
"Fret not, honeys.'' a voice reassured.
Kii and Sora then turns around to see Johnny Bepp leaning on a wall, "Johnny-sensei?!" the former questioned in surprise.
Johnny chuckled, "With Johnny Bepp and the gang on the case, it'll be...'' he started before waving his arms around, "Ok-Ok-Okay!" he declared with two thumbs-up.
Then Hikaru Moroboshi alongside two more males enters the room.
The first male is a tall young man. He has coffee brown-colored eyes and dark, sandy-blonde hair slicked back in a very short cut. He wears a white double-breasted baker uniform with folded sleeves and blue buttons, a white & blue striped scarf around the collar area and a blue apron with a small ribbon wrapped around his waist, black slacks and black leather shoes. This is Shun Yotsuba.

His bangs have a streak of dark yellow through them, and a small curled strands sticking out from the side. He has rounded topaz eyes and wears a red earring. He wears a dark-blue collared polo shirt, gray jeans with a brown belt and brown ankle-high shoes. This is Ken Mayuzumi.
Shun then spoke, "With you idols working hard, it wouldn't do for us adults to sit back and relax.'' he admitted
Hikaru tips his glasses, "With all of the teachers and staff from five schools combined, we should have the numbers required.'' he inquired.
"Would you let us give you a helping hand?'' Ken requested with a wink.
Sora nodded, "Of course.'' she complied, "Thank you very much.'' she said in gratitude.
"Please and thank you.'' Kii egged in gratitude.
"Okay!" Johnny exclaimed before spinning around like a ballerina, "We'll definitely make it in time for all our darling students!" he declared, "Let's fire!" he cheered with a pose.
"Yeah!" Hikaru, Shun and Ken cheered in agreement.
Johnny then pulled out his phone, "By the way... I hope you all don't mind if I call for additional assistance?'' he stated with a sparkling grin.
Back with the crowd, Chizuru, Yuuki, Oohori, Kenji and Madoka K. are anticipating the next events when they heard someone's phone ringing.
"Peter Dinklage~ Peter Dinklage~ Peter Dinklage~"
Yuuki pulled out his phone, "Sorry, that is mine.'' he apologized.
"What kind of ringtone is that?!" Kenji questioned in disbelief.
Yuuki then answered his phone, "Hello?... Yeah?... Yeah... Yeah... Okay.'' he finished before putting away his phone and then turning to his companions, "That was my uncle and he wanted us to meet them in the backstage area for an emergency.'' he stated.
"Are you sure we're allowed to go backstage?'' Madoka K. asked in concern.
"Don't worry.'' Yuuki reassured before bringing out five backstage passes, "I got backstage passes.'' he revealed.
"WHERE THE HELL DID YOU GET THOSE?!" Kenji exclaimed in disbelief.
Meanwhile in the lobby area somewhere backstage, we see Johnny, Hikaru, Shun and Ken alongside Anna Hibiki, Tamagorou Miwa, Dave Satou, Tamaki Enjouji, Naoto Suzukawa, four more women and a man gathered around.
The first woman has dark blue eyes and medium-length, curly brown hair. She wears a yellow double breasted jacket with black buttons and purple accents, a purple belt wrapped around her waist, yellow pencil skirt over black pantyhose, black pumps and a blue scarf with a red brooch wrapped around her neck. This is Orihime Mitsuishi, the headmistress of Starlight School.

She wears a reddish-purple frilled jacket with white collar and folded sleeves over a brown mesh with a black flat choker, black pencil skirt and black thigh-high heeled boots.

She wears a lab coat over a light brown dress and brown heels. This is Chiharu Hachiya.

Johnny then noticed Chizuru's group making their way towards them, "Oh! Here they are!" he announced.
Orihime turns around and got a good look of the group, "So, those are the boys that performed during our spooky event.'' she mused before taking a good look on Yuuki, "You're nephew... he looks... so calm.'' she commented while wondering why Johnny's nephew is nothing like his uncle.
Johnny chuckled, "Ever since he was a kid.'' he replied.
"Hey uncle.'' Yuuki greeted, "You called for assistance?'' he assumed.
Johnny nodded, "I hope you don't mind but we need additional assistance.'' he replied, "The light bulbs for the tree were ordered in the wrong size, so none of them can be used and the lighting of the giant tree is an essential part of the fest's climax." he explained.
"What kind of idiot to make such a blunder for something essential such as that?!" Kenji questioned in disbelief with Madoka elbowing him on the ribs for his rude remark.
Johnny chuckled nervously, "It was an accident, so no need to reprimand anyone for it.'' he stated, "Anyway... we need a large number of people to buy the right number of light bulbs and we appreciate it if you kids would assist us.'' he stated with a smile.
Chizuru and the gang looks at each other for a minute before smiling, "Tell us what to do?'' the blonde beckoned with a determined grin, "Because we know the right place to buy tons of them.'' he declared.
Back on stage in the Main Stage at Dream Academy.
"Look! Our reporter Maria-chan has arrived at another school!" Raki announced.
The big screen then shows a live footage of the Neo Venus Ark, Maria is seen in a greenhouse with a number of students around which includes Mikuru Natsuki, Aria Futaba and four more girls looking around the garden.

"Hi! This is Maria, on the scene!" Maria announced, "I've found myself inside the greenhouse of Neo Venus Ark.'' she revealed, "Please take a look.'' she beckoned, "There are beautiful flowers every which way.'' she pointed out before turning her attention towards a brown-colored cow next to her, "My dear Elizabeth III is having a lovely time as well.'' she mused, "The plan here is to use the flowers from the greenhouse to create a gigantic wreath.'' she explained, "Isn't it exciting to imagine what kind of wreath we'll see?'' she asked with a smile.
"Thank you very much.'' Madoka A. said in gratitude.
"On to our next reported, Sora-chan!" Noel called out.
The big screen then shows a live footage of a Christmas-themed Star Harmony Academy where everyone sees Sora at the courtyard.
"Spin spin, cutie cute!" Sora mused, "I'm currently visiting the Star Harmony Academy." she announced, "At this event, idols dress up as Santa Claus and take holiday photos with fans.'' she explained.
And true to her words, Sakuya Shirayuri and Kaguya Shirayuri, both girls are dressed up as Santa Claus while taking photos with their fans.
Sora then approaches two girls whom are also wearing a Santa Claus attire.
The first girl has long, straight black hair and lavender eyes. Her bangs are slightly wavy at the tips. She wears a purple ribbon in her hair. This is Risa Shirakaba.

"Nono-chan, Risa-chan, why did you choose this event?'' Sora asked.
"We wanted our fans who came here to be happy as possible.'' Risa answered.
Sora then turns to Nono, "Oh, Nono-chan.'' she beckoned which surprised the girl, "Puff puff!" Sora chanted while waving her right hand and for some reason, Nono's Santa Claus found itself with added features like frills and ribbons at the back, much to Nono's delight, "This look might be even more magical.'' she declared.
"You're right!" Nono cheered in agreement, "Look, Risappe!" she beckoned.
"Thank you, Sora-chan.'' Risa said in gratitude.
Sora chuckled, "It was my pleasure.'' she replied, "The idols here are waiting for you to visit them too.'' she said to the audience.
"Come and join us!" Nono and Risa beckoned in excitement.
Madoka A. then turns to Raki, "Those Santa Claus outfits are adorable, aren't they?'' she asked.
"Totally!" Raki replied in agreement before smiling brightly, "There's still plenty more before the climax of the fest, so let's enjoy all we can!" she beckoned in excitement.
And with that, the Christmas event went on with various performance.
Ichigo Hoshimiya, Aoi Kiriya and another girl did some sort of superhero-like stage play complete with mascots.

Wakaba, Michelle, Asami and Yuna are also there to help but two people in the area are in for a shock of their lives.
"Eeeh?! Chizuru-niisan! What are you doing here?!" Michelle questioned in shock.
Chizuru facefaulted, "Totally forgot that I had another cousin attending Starlight Academy.'' he confessed in disbelief.
Johnny then realized something, "Wait a minute!" he squawked before turning to Chizuru, "You're related to Ichigo-honey, right?'' he pointed out with the blonde nodding in confirmation, "Then that means...'' he trails.
"Eeeeh?! I'm related to Ichigo-san!" Michelle exclaimed in shock.
"And it took meeting a certain blonde for this revelation to be revealed.'' Kenji muttered with a blank look.
And when nighttime finally arrives, the event is about to hold it's final performance of the night before the climax.
In Star Harmony Academy, Aine Yuuki, Mio Minato, Ema and Maika getting ready for their performance while Akari Oozora, Sumire Hikami, Hinaki Shinjou and Juri Kurebayashi are doing the same thing at Starlight Academy.

Back on stage in the Main Stage at Dream Academy.
Madoka A. spoke, "This is it!" she beckoned, "We've reached the climax of the Christmas Stage!" she announced.
"This will be the last song of the night.'' Noel said.
"A special collab stage, broadcasting simultaneously from all five schools!" Raki explained.
"The song is...'' Raki, Noel and Madoka A. started at the same time, "We wish you a merry Christmas!" they announced with the crowd cheering in excitement.
And with that, all idols from different schools got on stage, all are wearing their respected colorful dresses, as they started their performance.
We wish you a merry Christmas,

After their performance, the crowd gave them a loud applause, all idols bowed their heads and waves their hands in gratitude.
Madoka A. spoke, "Thank you to all of the idols who participated in the performance.'' she said in gratitude.
"That was just incredible!" Raki cheered.
Noel nodded in agreement, "Yeah." she said.
"That concludes the Aikatsu! New World Fest! Christmas Stage!" Madoka A. concluded.
"As the final act, we've prepared a very special present for everyone." Noel announced.
"Please look behind you!" Raki beckoned.
Everyone then turns around to see Sora standing next to a large Christmas tree being held by a crane and a rope tied on it with a lot of teachers, staff members and students gathered around it alongside Chizuru, Yuuki, Oohori, Madoka K. and Kenji.
"Behold! The big, big Christmas tree has been delivered!" Sora declared.
Mushirou tips his hat, "We somehow completed it in time." he said in relief.
Shun nodded, "True." he said in agreement, "All that's left is...'' he trailed.
Johnny then turns to everyone, "Okay! Let's put the finishing touch on this baby, everyone!" he beckoned in excitement.
And with that, Johnny, Wakaba, Ken, Sakura, Otome, Naoto, Yuna, Shun, Asami, Mushirou, Hikaru, Michelle, Chizuru, Yuuki, Oohori, Madoka K., Kenji and many more held on the rope attached on the tree.
"Put your backs on it!" Johnny advised, "Let's GOOOOO!" he beckoned.
And with that, everyone began to pull the tree upwards with the males yelling 'Oh Yeah!' and the females chanting 'Aikatsu!'.
Ken turns to Hikaru, "Moroboshi-san, you're dripping with sweat." he pointed out.
Hikaru wheezed, "Physical labor is not part of my standard repertoire..." he admitted.
"Breakthrough the impossible! Come on!" Johnny beckoned.
"You have one heck on uncle, Yuuki." Kenji commented, "I'm so glad that you and Yuuta are nothing like him." he stated.
"Piss off." Yuuki replied.
And after a few more pull, everyone managed to set the Christmas Tree up right and after that, Maria's helicopter arrives while carrying a large wreath before dropping it down and nicely landing on the tree, finally completing while being shined by the lights, much to the audience's awe.
"The countless light shine like the idols the numerous gathered here tonight.'' Mushirou begun, "When each one glows with all of their power, a brilliant light is formed.'' he stated.
"You've become quite the romantic, newlywed." Ken mused with Mushirou and Hikaru chuckling in response.
Meanwhile, we see Kii and Sora approaching Johnny, Shun, Chizuru, Yuuki, Oohori, Madoka K. and Kenji.
"Thanks to all the teachers and managers coming to our aid, we pulled through the trouble without a hitch." Kii pointed out, "As the producer, I'd like to express my gratitude." she declared with a bow, "Thank you very much." she said in gratitude.
Johnny chuckled, "Good job us.'' he complimented before turning to Chizuru's group, "You can also thank this awesome youngsters for assisting us as well." he pointed out.
"Their additional assistance made it faster for all of us.'' Shun commented, "And we can't thank them enough for it." he said with a smile.
Chizuru waves a hand, "Think nothing of it." he reassured, "We just happen to know of a place where we can buy dozens of light bulbs for Christmas." he stated, "Millions of them in fact.'' he added.
"Where the hell did Gob get all of those anyway?" Kenji questioned in confusion.
Shun then turns to Madoka K., "By the way, Kaname-san, you may wanna brace yourself because Moroboshi-san has been eyeing you ever since and seems like he's interested in making you an idol in his school." he stated.
Madoka K. facefaulted, "Uwaaa... curse my Goddess-like aura.'' she muttered in annoyance.
Sora chuckled, "I think you'll make a cute idol." she presumed.
"Seriously?" Madoka K. questioned.
Afterwards, Seira, Maria, Kii and Sora presented three larger than life Christmas Cakes with an Angely Sugar design towards everyone, the cakes are also a present for Raki, Madoka A. and Noel as a reward for working hard as the hosts of the event and a birthday gift as well for Noel, much to the three girls' joy and gratitude.
Meanwhile as everyone are celebrating in the main stage of Dream Academy, we see a blimp hovering above the stadium and inside we see Karen, Hime, Mirai, Alicia Charlotte, Hibiki Tenshou, Elza Forte and Mizuki Kanzaki watching everyone below through a large glass window.
"Open a new door." Karen spoke, "As those words promised, this fest was able to bring different idols together in collabs and more." she said before turning to Hime.
Hime smiled, "I'd call this a roaring success, Karen-chan." she declared.
"When idols are able to inspire one another, we all rise to great heights." Karen commented, "We meet new people, share our smiles and guide each other." she added.
"Indeed." Hime said in agreement, "I can see a different world reflected in everyone's eyes." she stated, "One that is glimmering with new hope for the future." she commented with a smile.
Later that night, after the crowd left the stadium after the event, we see everyone having a nice Christmas after party.
We see Michelle and Asami having a conversation with Ichigo, Ran and Aoi.
"Sugoi! This is amazing!" Michelle cheered, "I never realized that were related, Ichigo-san!" she exclaimed with a smile.
"Me too." Ichigo said in agreement, "Though... I should have noticed it before with your last name and all." she admitted.
"Seriously? How you managed to miss something as important as that?'' Ran questioned in disbelief with Ichigo chuckling sheepishly in response.
As this is going on, we see Hikaru having a conversation with Madoka K.
"Ever since I laid my eyes on you, I knew you had some sort of potential." Hikaru confessed, "Would you like to become an idol for Four Star Academy?'' he offered.
"Uhh... err...'' Madoka K. muttered with a blank expression.
"She will not." a voice declined as Madoka K. and Hikaru turns to see Elza approaching them, "In fact... she's going to Neo Venus Ark with me!" she declared, "A person with an aura akin to Goddess should be better off with in my school." she declared before reaching a hand towards Madoka K., "Now come with me and we shall sail the vast ocean together!" she offered.
"Anyone save me from these two weirdos!" Madoka K. exclaimed for help.
Meanwhile, we see Chizuru and Kenji sitting on a bench, a few inches away from everyone cans of beer in hands.
"This is quite an eventful day isn't it?" Chizuru mused.
"Yeah." Kenji replied in agreement before taking a sip of his beer, "I wasn't expecting us to get roped into helping them though." he admitted, "But the event went off without a hitch, so I can't really complain that much." he stated.
Then Aine and Mio walks towards the two.
"Tachibana-san, Kazama-san!" Aine greeted.
"You guys enjoyed the event?'' Mio asked.
Chizuru gave them a thumbs-up, "Totally!" he confirmed, "And your performance alongside everyone was awesome!" he cheered.
"I'm not into idol stuffs like Oohori does but I had to admit that the event was really nice." Kenji complimented.
Aine chuckled, "Thank you very much." she replied in gratitude.
"What are guys gonna do after this?'" Mio questioned.
"I'm not staying for long because I need to sleep well tonight, so tomorrow I can wake up early to help out preparing for the Christmas Party tomorrow at the Uzumaki Villa." Chizuru replied.
"Oh right! We're holding one tomorrow." Kenji muttered in realization.
"Can we come?'' Aine asked with a smile.
"If you don't mind having outsiders joining your party." Mio stated.
"You can come." Chizuru confirmed, "It's a free party for everyone after all." he pointed out.
"Just pray you don't lose your sanity once you meet the people there." Kenji stated.
Aine chuckled, "We don't mind." she reassured.
"We've seen a lot of crazy things Tachibana-san and the others have done ever since we first met them and we're kinda used to it." Mio admitted.
Then Naoto is seen walking towards the four.
"Tachibana-san? Is it?" Naoto called out.
The four turns to him, "Well~ If isn't it my dear cousin Ichigo's boyfriend!" he mused, "What brings you here?" he asked.
Naoto coughed in embarrassment after hearing Chizuru's remark, "Anyway... I heard from Ichigo that you and some other bands are currently having problems right now on where to perform." he pointed out.
"Obviously." Kenji muttered in confirmation.
"Well... I don't know how much it will work but I had an idea that may benefit you guys on the long run." Naoto offered.
Chizuru and Kenji looks at each for minute before smiling, the two turns back to Naoto, "We're listening." the blonde beckoned with a grin.
