I do not own Aikatsu Stars!

The next morning, everyone was loaded onto the buses for another long ride.

They arrived a while after lunch at a place that was ready for them to perform at.

As the girls and boys settled to get ready for their show, someone knocked on their joint dressing room door.

Yozora stood up and opened the door. She let out a loud gasp as soon as she saw the people who were standing there.

Asahi and Mahiru gazed at her with worried expressions.

At the door in front of Yozora, stood two tall figures. A woman with long deep red hair, similar to Yozora's own, in a loose braid hanging over her shoulder and wearing a fancy red dress. The man beside her was wearing a proper suit and had yellow rimmed glasses. His brown hair was slicked back but there was a streak of blond on the side of his head.

Yozora launched forward and hugged the people at the door. "Mom! Dad!"

Asahi and Mahiru gasped and rushed over.

The woman leaned over and hugged all three of the siblings. "Oh my little babies!"

Asahi and Mahiru crushed themselves into the hug, and the four Kasumi's meshed together.

"Mom! Dad!" Asahi cried. "What are you guys doing here?"

"We came to see the three of you perform together." Their dad replied.

Yozora pulled away from her mom and went to hug her dad.

Misaki Kasumi, their mother, squeezed Asahi and Mahiru tighter. "Oh, you two! Mommy's missed you so much!"

Asahi grinned at her.

Mahiru blushed and started to struggle to get away. "Mom… can you let go… everyone's watching."

Misaki looked up at all the other people in the room. She gasped. "Oh! Of course! And, I'd like to meet your friends Mahiru!"

Laura, Ako, and Yume were staring at the sight with surprised expressions.

Laura stared at their mother. "Wow… she's exactly like Yozora."

Ako deadpanned. "Yea…"

Misaki finally let go of Asahi and Mahiru. "Hello boys." She greeted.

M4 greeted back.

Yume gawked. "What? How do you already know her?"

Subaru glanced at her. "Huh? Oh we met her last year."

Misaki approached the girls. "Hello ladies, my name is Misaki Kasumi. I'm Asahi's, Mahiru's, and Yozora's mother."

"Nice to meet you." The three called at once.

Misaki smiled and looked at Laura. "Laura Sakuraba, right?"

Laura nodded with a smile. "Yes."

Misaki hummed. "Is your mother Nanami Sakuraba?"

Laura looked surprised. "Yes… how did you know?"

Misaki smiled. "Oh, we work together sometimes." She moved onto Ako.

"Ako Saotome… I quite enjoy your acting."

Ako had a surprised expression. "Y-you… ah, thank you, ma'am." She clutched her hands in front of her tightly.

Misaki giggled at her. "I love your hair style, by the way. It's very cute."

Ako's hand went up to her hair as she blushed. "Oh! Thank you."

Misaki scooted over again and faced Yume. "Yume Nijino." She paused and stared at her. "Your performances are quite lovely."

Yume smiled with a blushing face. "Thank you ma'am!"

"What are you doing here?" Yozora asked her dad.

He looked down at his children. "We came to see your show, of course."

Mahiru smiled brightly. "Really?"

Misaki came over to Mahiru and put a hand on her shoulder. "Of course, sweetheart." Misaki turned to stare down at Mahiru. "Mahiru! You don't even call your dear old mother at all! Don't you know how much I've missed you?"

Mahiru turned red while Asahi laughed.

"It's bad enough that Yozora and Asahi don't call!" Misaki complained.

Asahi turned red as the boys laughed at him.

Yozora went up to her mom. "I'm sorry mom. But you know we're all busy. You are too."

Misaki sighed dramatically. "I know, I know."

Then, a knock was at the door again. A stage assistant was there. "M4, on stage in ten."

Subaru nodded. "Okay." He faced the boys. "Let's get ready."

Misaki and Iwao Kasumi straightened.

"Well then, let us go as well." Iwao said.

Misaki nodded.

Mahiru grabbed her mom before she could move. "You're staying for the whole show?"

Misaki smiled sweetly. "Of course dear." She leaned down and kissed her forehead, causing her to turn red. Misaki turned toward Asahi and did the same, who smiled happily in reaction. Yozora stepped up and let her mom do the same to her.

Iwao patted Asahi on the head, and put a hand on Mahiru's shoulder. "Make us proud."

The three siblings nodded, and Misaki and Iwao stepped out.

Subaru then led the boys to the stage.

Yume jumped at Mahiru. "Your mom is so cool!"

Mahiru coughed. "Yea, she is."

After their performance, when everyone was at the bus area, Misaki and Iwao appeared again.

"Mom! Dad!" Asahi greeted. "What are you going to do now?"

Misaki smiled at her son. "Sadly, we have to get going now."

Yozora and Mahiru rushed over.

"It's okay," Yozora said. "We understand."

Misaki smiled and brought them into a hug. "Yozora…" she began.

"Yes mom?" Yozora answered.

"Have you brought your camera?"

Yozora brightened. "Yes!"

Misaki grinned. "Alright! Let's take a family picture!"

Mahiru sighed, Asahi smiled, and Yozora cheered with her mom.

Then, together with Iwao, they took a picture.

"I expect that you've taken other pictures too, Yozora?" Misaki asked

Yozora nodded. "Of course!"

Misaki giggled. "Good! Make sure you send me the copies, dear!"

Mahiru sweated nervously.

Iwao put his hand on Misaki's shoulder. "It's about time we go."

Misaki nodded and rounded the three young idols into a last hug with Iwao.

After that, Misaki gave a farewell to everyone else and the two adults left.

"That was nice." Yume commented.

Ms. Ran suddenly appeared. "Okay everyone! Listen up!"

The nine of them faced her, paying attention.

"We're supposed to be heading home now, since this was the last show, but we have extra time." She said. "So, I decided that I'll let you all go out and have some free time in this town."

The teens brightened.

"But you have to be back by five!" Ms. Ran said strictly.

Everyone nodded, understanding.

"Good." Ms. Ran said. "And remember, have fun!"

Deleted scene:

Suddenly, footsteps were heard from the hallway and another figure appeared. A man who was shorter than Mr. Kasumi with brown short hair that had red ends slicked back appeared. He was wearing a dress shirt and pants.

Asahi gasped first, bringing the attention of Mahiru and Yozora as well.

"Big brother!"

The three of them rushed forward and grabbed the male in a hug.

The man laughed. "It's great to see all of you!"

Yume blanked. "Who is that?" She asked as she watched.

Subaru raised an eyebrow at her, and noticed that Ako and Laura had similar expressions. "That's Mayonaka, their oldest brother. He's in high school studying to take over their dad's company."

The girls nodded in realization.

Laura's cheeks were colored pink. "He's handsome."

Ako blushed and turned away. "Indeed. But alas, I shall not sway from my dear Subaru!"

Edit: I found out that Laura's mom's name is Nanami, not Susan xP Fixed it!

I hope you all enjoyed this chapter! I kinda wanted to introduce an OC as the Kasumi family's big brother… but I didn't. I added the part I wrote up. It's not important to the story.

Thanks for reading!
