A/N: And I'm back with a new chapter All Worlds Alliance Missions - Aikatsu on Parade! Glad that everyone enjoyed the previous chapter of All Worlds Alliance Stories and I'm glad that the additional characters are well-received.
Number01BlazblueFan - Ryoma Sengoku and Zack are my favorites, Oren as well. Fortunately, I don't hate or dislike any character from Gaim.
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.

Sorbet Kingdom
In a beautiful garden somewhere in the Sorbet Kingdom, we see Cesaro Oohori, Yuuki Asaba, Madoka Kaname, Raki Kiseki, Aine Yuuki, Alicia Charlotte, Aoi Kiriya, Hibiki Tenshou, Juri Kurebayashi, Maika Chouno, Maria Himesato, Mio Minato, Rola Sakuraba, Tsubasa Kisaragi and a number of children gathered around while listening to Alicia read a book.
Once upon a time, there was a forest in the Sorbet Kingdom in which fairies lived
The Queen of the Flame Fairies had two beautiful daughters but they were constantly at odds with one another
Troubled by their quarrels, the fairies did everything they but to no avail
As a last resort, the Queen of the Frost Fairies sent her daughter Grace to intervene
In her wisdom and elegance, Grace used her silver tongue to reconcile the two
And thus, peace returned to the forest once again
The end
After finishing reading the story, Alicia closed the book while Raki and the children clapped their hands in awe.
"I see now." Tsubasa spoke, "So the plan is to scale up this fairy tale and turn it into a play." she stated.
"That's right." Hibiki confirmed, "Don't you think it'd be the perfect finale for the Sorbet stage show?" she proclaimed.
"I think this fairy tale should be adapted in a Hollywood or Netflix-style movie." Oohori suggested, "Turn it into something similar to the Golden Watch or the Mary Potter movies." he stated.
"With needlessly added characters not from the book and explosions... lots & lots of explosions." Yuuki added with a blank look.
Madoka facefaulted, "Not every movies are made by Michael Bay you know." she reminded.
Mio chuckled nervously, "I think a stage play benefits the story better." she pointed out.
Raki turns to Hibiki, "Hibiki-san, have you already decided who gets to play the role of Grace-chan?" she asked.
Hibiki smiled, "But of course." she confirmed before dramatically pointing a finger at Raki, "Grace will be you, Raki Kiseki!" she declared.
This taken Raki by surprise, "Uwwweeeeeeh?!" she squawked, "What?! M-Me?!" she exclaimed in shock.
"And I want you to make her costume too." Hibiki added, "Please design Grace's dress." she requested with a smile.
"Doesn't that sound great? Congrats!" Rola complimented.
"Grace only has a few lines but it's a critical role." Juri stated, "Good luck!" she encouraged.
Raki smiled brightly in response, "Thank you! Awesome, I'm really blessed!" she cheered, "Lucky!" she chirped.
Hibiki then turns Oohori and Yuuki, "By the way... the reason we invited you guys here is because of a possibility that the play might suffer some backstage problems, so we'll be needing the Stage Jack-Ninjas to distract the audience by entertaining them a bit while we work on the problem." she stated.
Oohori nodded, "Leave that to us!" he declared with a grin.
"Too bad Ichigo's cousin couldn't come." Aoi stated.
"Chizuru's legs are still paralyzed after that 'goat fiasco' and he's been advised to stay home for a while." Yuuki explained, "Actually... Chizuru is no longer paralyzed and can walk freely now without problems, Yoshika just forced him to stay at home for cautions." he thought, "But don't worry, we brought someone to take his place." he reassured.
The girls then turns to Madoka, "They're talking about this guy." the pink-haired goddess clarified while holding up Curtis Pawpower in her palms with the hamster doing various Hulk Hogan-poses.
"Ah! It's Curtis!" Raki cheered.
"Well... I see no problem Curtis taking on Tachibana-san's place since the Stage Jack-Ninja Hamstah is pretty popular." Maika stated.
"I still wonder I'm here though." Madoka admitted.
"Well... since you're joining Neo Venus Ark some time later, we decided to bring you along to see how Aikatsu idols works on firsthand." Oohori explained with a grin.
Madoka facefaulted, "Geez... thanks for the consideration." she grumbled in annoyance.
Later that day, we head towards the main palace of the Sorbet Kingdom and inside a large spacious room, we see the idols getting themselves ready for the play.
Hibiki, Mio & Aoi are doing vocal practice, Aine, Alice & Tsubasa are doing some stretching, Maria & Rola are seen reading their scripts while Maika & Juri are praticing their roles.
As this is going on, Oohori, Yuuki, Madoka, Raki, a trio of unnamed girls and a boy watching everyone from one part of the room while sitting on a blanket with the boy standing next to them.
The boy has a short and petite appearance, he has a light green fluffy framed-hair with braided sideplait and has blue eyes. He wears a dark-blue vest over a white collared long-sleeved shirt with a blue-colored brooch tie, black pants, black socks and brown shoes. This is Charles Charlotte, the younger brother of Alicia Charlotte.
"Charles-sama." one girl spoke, "Is this all Aikatsu too?" she asked.
"Yes, they're training their acting." Charles confirmed, "When I told her that the people of Sorbet were aching to see Aikatsu again, Hibiki-san gathered members to form the Tenshou Troupe and flew them all over." he explained, "There will be songs and performances each day leading up to the show as well." he added, much to the girls' amusement.
"Crazy things some big celebrities will do." Yuuki commented.
"Well... if it's for their fans, some idols will do anything to make them happy." Oohori stated with a smile.
As this is going, Maika and Juri just finished rehearsing their roles.
"You really are a professional actress, Juri." Maika complimented, "I can't help but be drawn in and forget I'm playing a role." she admitted.
"Gracias!" Juri said in gratitude, "And the dance you'll be busting out in the middle of the play is just as hot!" she complimented back.
As this is going on, Maria and Rola are looking at their scripts with smiles on their faces.
"With Maika's dance, my song and everyone else's specialties worked into the drama, this gets me going!" Rola declared.
"It's a script that only an Aikatsu artist like Hibiki-san could've created." Maria stated with a smile.
Rola giggled in response before turning to Alicia, "Alicia-san!" she called which got the girl's attention, ""You're playing the Frost Fairy Queen, right?" she pointed out, "I can't wait to see you in action." she said in anticipation.
Alicia smiled, "I'm grateful to hear that." she replied in gratitude.
Meanwhile, Raki is seen reading her script book before closing it.
"Okay! I memorized it!" Raki exclaimed, "As Your Highness..." she said out loud her lines but for some odd reason, she forgot it already, "Huh? Um, what was the line again?" she questioned in confusion.
Madoka turns to her in disbelief, "You forgot your lines already?!" she exclaimed.
Raki chuckled nervously, "Sorry." she apologized.
"From that alone, I'm beginning to question why they chose you for the role." Madoka admitted with a raised eyebrow.
"Aw, come on, Madoka, Raki-chan is still a rookie, so of course she'll make mistakes on her first try." Oohori pointed out.
"Maybe Raki-chan should show us her acting skills and see if we can remedy it a bit." Yuuki suggested.
And with that, Raki then stood in front of everyone, she then bowed her head down with her arms sticking out at her back.
"It's a pleasure to meet you! My name is Grace!" Raki voiced out her lines.
Everyone stares at her in confusion and bemusement, "You don't seem like a real princess." one girl commented.
"Yeah." another girl said in agreement.
"Raki-chan, real princesses don't bow their heads that low and their arms don't stick out behind them." Oohori pointed out.
In response, Raki chuckled nervously but before knocking a fist on her right head with her tongue sticking out in embarrassment.
"Houston we got a problem." Yuuki mused.
-BREAK-
The next day in the palace, we see everyone gathered around once more in the large spacious room where we see Raki presenting her design to Hibiki, Aine, Mio and Alicia.
"It's complete!" Raki chirped, "Please take a look!" she beckoned, "It's my greatest masterpiece!" she presented before handing her scrapbook to Hibiki.
Hibiki, Aine and Mio takes a look at her design and were slightly unimpressed by it, "This is supposed to be Grace-chan's dress?" Aine questioned, "It's not quite how I imagined." she confessed.
Hibiki closed the scrapbook and handed it back to Raki, "I'm sorry but I can't approve of this design." the sexy-type idol declared in apology, "Would you give it aother attempt? she suggested.
Raki stares at her in shock before taking back her scrapbook, "Sure, I understand." she complied before walking off with a blank yet dejected expression.
Everyone then watches Raki leave the room when Hibiki spoke.
"Was that a bit too harsh?" Hibiki asked in concern.
Aine smiled, "Not at all." she reassured, "Raki-chan will definitely bring it on!" she declared.
"She'll be just fine." Mio said, "No worries, as you'd say, Hibiki-san." Mio pointed out.
Hibiki stares at them in surprise when Alicia turns to her, "Hibiki, aren't you on the schedule for today's performance?" the princess asked, "It's almost time." she pointed out.
Hibiki smiled in response, "You're right, I'd best be off." she said, "It's showtime!" she declared.
Later that day, Hibiki later appears on a stage located in a town somewhere in the kingdom and started her performance.
Nemurenai yoru wo ikutsu mo sugoshite
Kokorobososa wo kijou ni kakushiteta?
Soredemo kokoro ni zutto nokotteru
"Akiramerarenai" ga aru hazu desho
Furikaeru koto wa nai kao wo agete
Koko ni iru yo I'll be your star
Mamoritai kara kitto tsuyoku nareru
Mita koto mo nai sekai ga still... matteru
Mou shinpai nai yo ano mukou e
Kiesou na mono wo (sotto sotto)
"Dooka..." to negau yori mo
Itsuka kitto tsunagaru oikakete ikou
Koko ni iru yo I'll be your star
Itsumo itsudemo kimi datte My star
Mita koto mo nai kiseki ni soon... todoku
Mou shinpai nai yo ano mukou e
After that performance, the crowd gave Hibiki a loud applause as she bowed her head down in gratitude.
Meanwhile, we see Raki sitting alone while deep thoughts in a gazebo located in the middle of a lake which is located next to the palace. Aside from Hibiki rejecting her design, she has another thing in her mind.
Earlier today, she overhead two ladies talking about Hibiki choosing Alicia for the Grace but Alicia rejected it for some reason. This boggles Raki and is beginning to wonder if she truly deserves the role of Grace.
Raki sighed, "I had no idea..." she muttered.
Then Alicia arrives, "Raki-san." the princess greeted which surprises the rookie idol, "Would you mind if I join you?" she requested.
Raki nodded, "Go ahead." she beckoned as Alicia took a seat. Raki can't help but stare and admire Alicia's elegance, "Incredible... real-life, full-blooded princesses are something else." she commented in her thoughts, "Um... I was thinking..." she begun, "Alicia-san, you fit the role of Grace-chan perfectly, more than I do." she stated, "It's not too late to talk to Hibiki-san and ask her to change the casting." she beckoned.
"Hibiki said the same thing and she asked me to play the part of Grace." Alicia admitted, "But I turned her down." she confessed before turning to Raki, "Raki-san, the one who nominated you for the role of Grace is me." she revealed much to Raki's surprise, "At that party, I witnessed how you brought smiles to the children." she explained while reminiscing at the time during Mirai Asuka & Karen Kamishiro's party where Raki made the children smile with her dolphin performance, "To the children of this kingdom, you are far more relatable than any idol here." she pointed out, "Which is why if they were to see you become a princess within a play, to see you shining brilliantly on stage, they would surely be blessed with smiles, hopes and dreams." she stated, "And Raki-san, you are the only one who can give that to them." she declared with a smile.
Raki stares at Alicia in awe and admiration, she then sported a determined expression, "Alicia-san, I take it back." she said, "I want to play the role of Grace." she declared before bowing her head down, "Please let me have the part!" she pleaded.
"Yes, of course." Alicia answered before getting up and gently holding Raki's hands, "I will leave them in your hands." she encouraged with a smile.
Raki smiled back, "Hai!" she complied.
As this is going on, we see Madoka walking towards the Gazebo and took notice of the two.
"Hey, Raki-san, Alicia-san." Madoka greeted.
The two idols turns to her, "Madoka-san, what are you doing here?" Raki asked.
Madoka shrugged her shoulders, "Just walking around." she answered.
"Where's Oohori-san and Asaba-san?" Alicia questioned.
Madoka jabbed a thumb to her right, the two idols followed the direction Madoka is pointing and saw Oohori & Yuuki riding on a swan boat in the middle of the lake.
"Two dudes inside a swan boat?!" Oohori exclaimed in horror, "I'm getting fuck outta here!" he yelled before jumping into water, "AAAAHH! IT IS A COLD!" he cried while splashing around the water.
"Dude! This way your idea!" Yuuki pointed out.
Raki sweatdropped, "What are they doing?" she asked.
Madoka shrugged her shoulders, "I had no idea." she answered with a blank look while Alicia giggled in response.
-BREAK-
The next day, Raki asked for the other idols' assistance in helping her improve her acting skills which they happily complied. The idols helped her improve her acting skills by having her go through various training such as improving her vocal skills by having her shout from the top of a mountain, getting her to run pulling a tire with a rope tied on her waist to build stamina and teaching her the standard princess etiquette.
Later while working on her design, Raki is visited by Mio and Aine whom shared stories about how the latter got her Premium Rare Dress while giving Raki some advise and encouragement, much to the rookie idol's gratitude.
Then Raki decided to visit the kids in the town and asked them how they see Grace as a princess which they responded by various answers, Raki then found some inspiration after seeing three kids having the same attire as their mother.
Later that day in a room somewhere in the palace, we see Hibiki and Alicia having a discussion when Raki made her presence.
"Alicia-san!" Raki called out getting their attentions, "Please... show me the Queen of the Frost Fairies' costume!" she pleaded, "Would you let me see your Emerald Jeweling Dress?" she asked.
Hibiki then spoke, "In that case, you should come to I Believe's concert." she suggested, "The stage is where a dress's true brilliance is shown." she stated.
"Indeed, she's absolutely correct." Alicia said in agreement, "Please come watch." she beckoned.
"I will!" Raki complied with a smile, "Thank you for inviting me." she said in gratitude.
Later that day, Hibiki and Alicia later appears on a stage located in a town somewhere in the kingdom and started their performance.

After that performance, the crowd gave Hibiki and Alicia a loud applause as the two idols bowed their heads down in gratitude.
"Well! That was a magnificent performance." Yuuki commented.
"It's like fire and ice clashing peacefully with each other." Oohori described before pressing his hands together like a maiden in love, "Ah~ So brilliant." he commented in awe.
"Reminds me of Kyouko and Sayaka for some reason." Madoka said with a grin while Raki writes something on her notepad.
Later that day in the palace, we see everyone gathered around once more in the large spacious room where we see Raki presenting her design to Hibiki, Aine, Mio and Alicia.
Raki presented her scrapbook, "It's finished." she declared with Hibiki accepting it. Hibiki, Mio and Aine then takes a look at her design and they smiled in response, "I used a fabric that's clear and sparkly like ice as well as lace that's as white as a snowflake." she explained, "Then I added pink ribbons for a hint of cuteness and modeled it to match the Queen's Emerald Jeweling Dress." she furthered, "I want this dress to make all the children who grew up loving this fairy tale lucky and happy!" she declared with Alicia smiling happily at her.
"Excellent! Raki, I was right to rely on you!" Hibiki exclaimed in joy, "I approve the final design pf Grace's dress!" she declared.
Raki smiled brightly in response, "I did it!" she cheered.
-BREAK-
The next day at the stage located in a town somewhere in the Sorbet Kingdom, the place is currently filled with a lot of fans and spectators while the idols started their play.
Maika and Juri played the role of the Queen of the Flame Fairies' daughter while Maria played the role of a young maiden, Mio, Aoi & Tsubasa played the role of the huntsmen while Rola played the role of a bard, Aine played the role of a fairy, Hibiki played the role of the Queen of the Flame Fairies while Alicia played the role of the Queen of the Frost Fairies.
Even Oohori and Yuuki found themselves a role for the play as dwarfs alongside Curtis, much to Madoka's horror and embarrassment.
And when Raki appears on stage as Grace, everyone were in awe when she managed to play her role very graceful and elegantly which greatly impressed the crowds and her fellow idols.
After the climax of the play, Raki then started her performance.
Ano hi to chigau jibun ga ita

After that performance, the crowd gave Raki a loud applause as she bowed her head down in gratitude.
Meanwhile we see Oohori, Yuuki, Madoka, Aine, Alicia, Aoi, Hibiki, Juri, Maika, Maria, Mio, Rola and Tsubasa from the sides while watching Raki on stage with smiles on their faces.
"Looks like all that training paid off." Tsubasa concluded, "She deserves a REWARD TIME later." she declared.
"Great job, Raki-chan!" Aine complimented.
And that's that and I hope you all enjoy this new chapter! The songs featured in this chapter are titled, Be star, To the New Stage and Your Entrance.
This is the character that debuted in this chapter:
Charles Charlotte from Aikatsu Friends!
And with this chapter done, we're going to visit All Worlds Alliance Stories for another AWA-centric shenanigans.
Until then paalam!
"I'm really glad that everything went well for Raki-chan." Mio said with a smile as everyone continues to observe Raki on stage when she heard a sniffing noise, she turns to her left and saw tears falling down on Oohori's face, "Eeeeh?! Oohori-san, why are you crying?!" she asked in surprise.
Everyone then turns to see Oohori and were surprised to see the big man crying, "Oohori-san, what's wrong?" Aine asked in concern.
Oohori shook his head, "Nothing... it's just... I'm so happy seeing Raki-chan to where she currently is right now." he confessed.
"I still remember the first time I met her." Yuuki reminisced, "Cheerful and naive." he stated, "But look at her now, she's all grown up." he declared with a proud smile.
And to everyone's surprise, Oohori and Yuuki started singing.
Is this the little girl I carried
When did she grow to be so tall
Wasn't it yesterday when she was small
Sunrise, sunset
Sunrise, sunset
Swiftly fly the years
One season following another
Laden with happiness and tears
The girls can only stare at the guys in sheer bewilderment.
Rola turns to Madoka, "I understand that they're happy for Raki-san but they do need to break into a song while making it sound like that she's their daughter?" she questioned in disbelief.
Madoka sighed in annoyance, "Believe me... it's better not knowing why they do this." she answered.
