A Queen's Final Bow

Author's Note: Wag natin tong lagyan ng date, basta there will come a time that this will happen in the future. Hindi ko lang sure how soon this one will be.

What if?: Maine Mendoza decides to quit showbiz for good. Paano kaya ito?

Promo Spiel at EB a day before Maine Mendoza's final bow in Showbiz.

Vic Sotto: Naku! Ano bang meron?

Allan K: Basta, Bossing!

JDL: Mga Dabarkads, dahil Birthday ng Menggay natin bukas, libre po kayong lahat sa Klowns!

Allan K: Huy! Walang ganon!

JDL: Akala ko ba open for public na?

Allan K: Oo open for public pero may bayad. May mga alagang aso akong binubuhay, Joey.

Vic: Asong nanghihingi ng Sapatos?

Allan K: Yong iba, oo! Ano ba! Bayaan mo na, paminsan minsan lang yon! Basta bukas abangan ninyo ang Birthday ng Menggay dito lang sa EB!

*A video montage showing the journey of Maine Mendoza from the year 2015 up to the present. The video took 6minutes.

*Another video is playing with the key people of Maine's life, family, friends, important endorsements head, Dabarkads and finally the last one is Alden Richards.

AR: "Happy, Happy Birthday, Maine! I hope natupad mo na mga winish mo, at kung may wish ka pang natitira, sana sana matupad mo pa. As what we've always wish each other since the very beginning. I am hoping na HAPPY Ka, sa lahat lahat ng aspeto ng buhay mo. Hindi naging madali ang journey mo sa Showbiz, at pati na din sa personal na buhay, pero masaya akong nakayanan mo, at bilang kahati mo sa ALDUB, proud na proud na proud ako sa lahat ng tinatamasa mo mula pa nong nagsimula ka hanggang sa dumating ang ALDUB. Maraming salamat sa lahat lahat, Maine, and I hope ngayon na birthday mo, you'll feel special sa handog ng Dabarkas sa'yo, dahil special ka sa min dito, and napaka special mo din sa akin. Happy Birthdy, once again, Miss Maine. Mahal ka namin dito sa EB!"

Maine performs her production number, where she dances—Fantastic Baby, Desert, and Youth. The lights went off on the stage and the screen shows a black and white journey of ALDUB. God Gave Me You is playing and AR went out of the stage this time singing the most iconic song of ALDUB.

AR: "Maine! Happy Birthday! Gasgas na gasgas man ang kantang to but this will always belong to you. Happy Birthday! Para sa'yo to!"

The spotlight is pointed to Maine, where she seats in the corner, not leaving AR's gaze, so as AR, not leaving Maine's gaze. People in the audience were feeling emotional, as it's been a long time that they saw this kind of scene. People on twitter began to speculate that this particular birthday of Maine will somehow be different and it seems that a revelation that the ALDUB NATION that they've been waiting for will finally happen.

At the end of the song, both Maine and Alden were both teary-eyed. Maine ran to AR and hugged him as the song fades.

Dabarkads went out to the stage after the song performance.

AK: "Jusko! Naiiyak ako! Ano ba to Alden and Maine, kinikilig ako sa inyo! It's been awhile ALDUB. Mga Dabarkads! The Phenomenal, ALDUB!"

Vic: "Maine and Alden, ano to? Di, ito Maine, Happy Birthday, Stacy! este Maine, Happy Birthday, sana wag mo kaming kalimotan dito sa Eat Bulaga at ma mimiss ka namin."
