Kaleido Star: Special Stage

   The dream has passed onto Rosetta, the Diabolo world champion. When she first arrived at the Kaleido Stage, she didn't acknowledge Sora Naegino. But, after doing a performance together, Rosetta got her smile back, all thanks to Sora. And after seeing both "The Legendary Great Maneuver" and "The Angel's Maneuver," Rosetta decided to follow her own dreams of performing on the trapeze with Sora. After rigorous training and devotion to the stage, Rosetta was able to see The Fool. 
  In this OVA that takes place after many shows of Sora's "Swan Lake," Rosetta takes the lead. Yuri announces Rosetta's leading role in Kaleido Stage's new production! A picture accidentally delivered to Sarah, inspires Mia to write the new show. In this painting, there is a sad princess that resembles Rosetta, and hidden behind a curtain, a Court Jester that looks like The Fool. "The Amazing Princess Without A Smile" seems like the perfect role for Rosetta, but the pressure of playing the lead starts to build up. Rosetta loses her confidence in her abilities and her dreams and loses the capability of seeing The Fool. As she tries to run away, Rosetta discovers The Fool's mask that had been lost the night before. When she touches the mask, Rosetta is able to relive parts of The Fool's memories that he had locked away. Memories of his past love of the princess; memories of other performers who had dreams. The Fool's painful memories make Rosetta realize how much she loves the stage and how painful it would be for her to leave it. Sora finds Rosetta at the bus stop crying, and the two promise to never give up on their dreams again. The Fool appears to Rosetta again, and the show is back on. Opening night, Rosetta thanks Sora for helping her dreams come true, and as the lights come up Sora has a glimpse of the future: She sees Rosetta standing beside her, dressed and poised for performing "The Legendary Great Maneuver." Confused, Sora shakes it off, and Rosetta scolds her for being air headed on opening night. The two stars jump into action, each with different dreams, but both striving for the stars.
