-In the evening as Riko was in the bedroom of the apartment as she was tying her hair slowly as she was waiting for Arata to come back home from work. After she had changed into her home clothes, she went to the kitchen to make dinner for Arata and herself. After she was done preparing the food, Arata arrived home from work as he walked up to Riko and kissed her cheek as she smiled at him and had their dinner together-
Riko: So what are you gonna do after graduation?
Arata: I'll save up and make a bar downstairs since the owner of the building said that the two floors has been left there for years so I thought I could make use of it. It's rent free. I just have to clean up the place and get a few stuff to make a cafe and a bar. How about you?
Riko: I'll be joining you of course!
Arata: Eh?
Riko: I'll help you make the bar and we'll both run it together. I-Is that okay with you..?
Arata: Y-Yeah! Of course but don't you have a dream of your own..?
Riko: My dream? Is to be with you.. -She said as she was slightly embarrassed and was blushing as she looked away as Arata smiled happily and poked her cheek-
Arata: Wanna hear my other dream?
Riko: Hmm?
Arata: It's to be with you too. -Riko would smile happily as the two stood up from their seat and kissed each other lightly-
-In the Nishikino residence-
Maki: Shinji? S-Shinji? Where are you? -She was looking all over the apartment as she knows he's in the apartment but was nowhere to be found, she would then go inside the bedroom and opened the closet and saw no one as Shinji walked up to Maki with a sandwich in his hand as he was eating it-
Shinji: What's up?
Maki: Ah! Whoah, hey! Don't scare me like that!
Shinji: I'm sorry but I didn't want to make any noise because I was just enjoying this sandwich.
Maki: What's so great about that sandwich?
Shinji: Triple layer of meat and tomatoes sub sandwich from Subway! It's absolutely GOD!
Maki: Is that so?
Shinji: You want a bite?
Maki: Nah, I'm just bored..
Shinji: Then how about we go out and do something together?
Maki: Oh! I know! How about-
Shinji: I'm still not gonna do it at the roof of the apartment building.
Maki: Damn!
Shinji: Something normal as a couple, alright? How about we have dinner at someplace nice in Tokyo?
Maki: Hmm.. Sure, why not? Just let me get ready.
Shinji: Wear a dress and I'll wear my suit.
Maki: Why a suit?
Shinji: Oh yeah.. I'll just wear something nice then. That will turn you on.
Maki: Hey no! You know how sensitive I am when you use your Speedo!
Shinji: I..Oh forget it..
-After awhile as the two had changed, the two would go out to have their dinner together as it started to snow on the month of November. Maki had brought her teddy bear with her as she held it in her arms and walked together with Shinji as they both took the train to Tokyo. When the time came, the two had their dinner together and enjoyed themselves happily. As time passed, the two would then return back home as Maki enjoyed herself from the dinner while Shinji sent messages to his friends as he asked them to come over immediately, after that he would keep his phone in his pocket and had Maki sit on the couch as he was looking at her-
Shinji: Nee-chan? Ahem...Onee-chan..
Maki: Y-Yeah...?
Shinji: N-Nishikino Maki! I ask you one thing that may change both of our lives as it is a question that I can no longer turn back. If you say "no", I might cry my guts out to Rin but if you say "yes", I'll cry my guts out to Rin also but..
Maki: S-Shinji..?
Shinji: -He got down on one knee as he put one hand in his pocket and pulled out a small black clothed box from his pocket. At the sight of what Shinji did, Maki put her hands on her mouth quickly as she was absolutely shocked from the sight and was about to cry, Shinji would then pull the cover of the box back and opened the box as there was a ring with a small little diamond in it as it shined- Maki..? Will you marry me?
-Maki was in absolute tears as she nodded quickly and said "yes" as she got down to him and kissed Shinji on the lips passionately and hugged him tightly as after the hug, Shinji would put the ring on her finger as the two smiled and look at each other happily-
Maki: Shinji, my...Husband.
Shinji: Maki, my one and only wife. -They would both kiss once more as Maki and Shinji got up while holding each other's hands- Now, I'm really excited here that I am loosing my cool so I'm gonna run out of the door and cry my nipples off on Rin and you'll see a Shinji shaped hole in the door. -Maki would chuckle as someone knocked on the door as the two walked up to the door and opened it as it was Arata, Riko, Rin, Hanamaru, Jun, You, Chika, Kanan, Mari, Dia, Ruby, Hotaru, Yoshiko and Kotori as they were all wondering what happened-
Jun: I-Is something wrong? Did someone die?
Hanamaru: Is the chicken still alive, zura?!
Rin: Wait! Both of your face are red, nya! Are you two sick?!
Mari: SHINY SICKNESS!
Arata: I doubt it that they're sick.
Shinji: Thanks for coming over, you guys.
Arata: S-Shinji-kun's sick..He's sick! He's never this kind!
Jun: I know basic medicine, I could get that cold off of you in a minute!
Kanan: It's not CPR, now is it?
Jun: No? Why?
Kanan: Just wondering~
Shinji: W-Well uh...
Maki: To sum it up.. Shinji and I are...Engaged! -She said happily as she put her left hand up and showed everyone the ring as the girls squealed loudly and happily as the guys cheered and everyone hugged each other as they all entered the two sibling's home and celebrated their engagement with a party-
-Hours later as everyone went home as it was getting late. Jun would drive Rin and Kotori back home in the city as everyone else walked home in groups while Shinji and Maki waved goodbye to them and went back into their apartment as Maki grabbed Shinji's hand and pulled him into the living room as she tossed him to the couch and jumped on him as she would kiss his lips gently and hugged him as he hugged her too-
Maki: I love you.
Shinji: I love myself too but not as much as I love you~ -Maki would chuckle softly as she kissed him on the nose softly- Too bad Nico can't be here, huh?
Maki: You just wanna bully her..
Shinji: I can't help it since she's short and so fun to mess with. Her reactions are cute after all~
Maki: Well...Whatever makes you happy~
-A month had passed as it was the third year's graduation as the principal of the school was giving a speech and was giving each student a graduation slip to each student that went up to the stage. Riko's parents, Maki and her mother were there along with Jun and Hanamaru's parents with Rin, Kanan, Mari, Dia and Kotori as they were watching Riko, Arata. Chika, You and Shinji graduate school. After the seniors graduated, they took a picture with all of their friends together. Few months after graduating, Arata and Riko were in a large empty room with a second floor above, the two had paint and wood and all sorts of materials to change the room into a cafe and a bar but before they started, someone knocked on the door, the two looked back to see their friends bringing more of the supplies as they had brushes, brooms and cloths and even food and drinks as they all helped out each other to change the entire place into a bar. Two days after cleaning and painting and renovating the bar with lights, table, chairs, a bar, kitchen, washroom and a small stage for karaoke with TV screens and speakers and cameras on the side of the ceilings, Riko and Arata first started their business together as their first customers were their own friends as Riko cooked the food while Arata served them drinks and the food and as the friends enjoyed the environment of the cafe/bar, Mari would go up to the stage and sing a few songs as some of their friends cheered and got drunk together as they sang along with Mari while Jun and Shinji was at the bar with Arata while the girls were enjoying themselves-
Jun: Arata-san, how are you gonna find people to work for you?
Arata: I've had connections with a few other friends when I was in middle school.
Jun: What do you mean?
Shinji: Back in middle school, Arata used to hang out with 20 year old gangsters and get along with them and help them out whenever they had any problems with other gangs or personal problems, since he got into high school, he stopped hanging out with them but still keep in contact with each and every one of them.
Jun: Wow! That's nice of you, Arata-san.
Arata: Some wanted to kill themselves because of depression or vengeance but I talked them out of it but the news of me making this Cafe Bar with Riko-chan will spread quickly as- -Before he could finish his sentence, someone opened the door to the bar as there were large group of people with tattoos on them and some of the women had worn really short shorts along with short length shirts and had a lot of makeup-
Jun: Are they..
Shinji: Yeah, his ex-team or should I say gang.
Man 1: Nada-san!
Woman: Arata-chan!
Riko: "Arata-chan"?! -She was slightly drunk from drinking cider as she looked at Arata who was being hugged by a blonde as Riko got mad and approached Arata quickly, pulled him away from the woman and kissed him on the lips-
Woman: W-Who is this girl?!
Arata: A-Ah! I'm sorry, she's my girlfriend. Sakurauchi Riko-chan~
Man 2: If he's the boss' girlfriend than she's our boss too! Guys! Show some respect damn it! -The gangs would bow down to Riko and Arata as the two couple would laugh softly as Arata asked them to get up and enjoy themselves in the bar and cafe, from that day on, Arata had hired all of the gang members to work for him in the cafe as they offered to work for him for free and from each day, more and more people were going over to the cafe to enjoy the food and drinks as the cafe gave off a relaxing environment along with a happy feel to it-
-2 Years later after the creation of the Cafe Bar made by Nada Arata and Sakurauchi Riko, the Cafe Bar became a big hit in the whole of Japan until one night as Arata was walking down the street with a bag of groceries as it was late at night and it was a cold day, as he was walking down the street, he would yawn softly and stopped for a moment as he saw a man who was leaning on the light post as the man would turn to Arata as he grinned at Arata and had a cigarette in his mouth-
Arata: Hmm?
?: Long time no see, Arata!
Arata: -The man's face was revealed as he had a shaved beard and moustache and had an untidy office uniform- ...Dad..
-THE END-

You: Zensoku Zenshin, Yosoro~!
Chika: Wait wait! Shinchan wants to say something!
Ruby: Maybe its about how happy he is that he's married.
Hotaru: Or that he regretted not going after Hoshizora-san.
Rin: IF ONLY THAT WAS TRUE, NYA!
Kotori: W-Wait, Shinji-kun is about to say something.
Kanan: He's taking a long time to just say a short paragraph.
Mari: I know! Why are you SO slow, Shinji-kyun?! I heard from Maki-san that you were really fast!
Dia: He can't speak because you all are talking, desu wa!
Shinji: -He would then ignore the girls and said- This ending is where Ultimax left off originally but was continued in Season 3 known as Megamax. Moonshine is a season about Arata and his friend's life after Kanan, Mari and Dia had graduated from being third years in Uranohoshi Gakuen.
Rin: I think they get it, nya. They read the whole thing.
Shinji: But some are gonna think "WHAT?! Why is this a different story from the ending of Ultimax?!" so I wanna explain it to them.
Rin: Ah, that makes more sense, nya.
Shinji: So to those who are still new with this series, go read Megamax and complain about it because even I think it's not right at all..
Rin: Don't spoil it, nya!
Shinji: It's true! I just hope the new season after Megamax would be better.
Jun: Oh hello guys.
Shinji: Oh hey man.
Rin: Hi, nya!
Jun: Did you guys hear? I got the job!
Rin: You did?! That's great, nya!
Shinji: What job? Are you gonna be a hooker? Hell yeah!
Jun: W-What? N-No! I'm not gonna become a hooker. I just got the part as one of the main characters in the new Love Live season!
Shinji: "Love Live! Game!"? That new season? I'm the main character though.
Jun: I'm also the main character. It's gonna be 2 parts of two different main characters like about you and Arata-san.
Shinji: Ah okay, what will you be playing as?
Jun: I'll be playing as the actor or voice actor that works with you in your company.
Shinji: Oh cool and what about Hanamaru?
Jun: She'll appear from time to time but I'm not so sure yet.
Hanamaru: I'll force them to put me in the show more often, zura!
Maki: Me too! I wanna see my fiance more often in the show!
Shinji: Aww~
Nico: You people are gross.
Shinji: Be quiet, Nicotine. You're single, a virgin and you're desperate and horny.
Nico: S-Shut up! It's not true! You're depressed and horny!
Shinji: Prove me wrong!
Nico: I want you to burn!
Shinji: In Nee-chan's mouth, gotcha~
Nico: E-Eww! Hell no! Gross!
-Arata and Riko appeared in the screen as they waved at the audience and said goodbye to everyone as Kanan, Mari, Dia, Kotori, Chika, You, Ruby, Hotaru and Yoshiko also appeared in the background and was waving at the audience while the shouting of Shinji and Nico could still be heard in the background-
Riko & Arata: We'll see you all next time and thank you for all the support!
