Reunion
Jet Black is back on stage, with the players of the season seated on risers. On the bottom right is Leone, with Leafa sitting next to her. The pre-jury players are on the top of the risers, with the jury members on the bottom. Loly is handcuffed behind her back, while Lucian is nowhere to be found.
"Welcome back to the Survivor Reunion!" Jet announces. "We are here with most of the cast of this season, ready to talk about some stuff from the season. First things first, I want to get to your biggest questions. You may have figured out that Lucian is not here, and the reason he is not here is simple: he was beheaded by his girlfriend Cynthia, the queen of Sinnoh. His head is hanging next to Sabrina's on her palace wall. Lucian broke a Survivor record by playing 92 days out here, and for that, we hold a moment of silence."
Everyone goes silent for about a minute.
"Now, as for Loly, we have had to restrain her, because she is dead set on attacking Orihime and Jasmine. With her hands cuffed behind her back, she can't do much."
"You morons!" Loly shouts. "You guys are so stupid! I hate you all!"
"This brings us to the next piece of business. Both Cynthia and Loly have been banned from all future Survivor seasons due to their behavior. You'll never see either of them play again."
"Maybe I ought to team up with Cynthia and crash your next party!" Loly yells.
"We'll get to that later," Jet states. "As for now, I want to talk to our winner, Leone. I've got to ask you, Leone, given that the vote ended in a tie, how small of a margin was there between winning and losing?"
"Oh man, not very much!" Leone responds. "If Siesta doesn't play the Superidol on me, if I don't win fire, if even one jury member changed their mind, heck, if Yukari eats something different before Final Tribal… you never know what could have happened! But the most important thing was having this girl next to me the whole way. Leafa, you are wonderful human being, and I can't say enough about how cool it was to meet you!"
Leone and Leafa embrace warmly.
"Leafa, you came up one vote short," Jet says. "That must be the most excruciating feeling in the world, that if only one person had changed their mind, you would be a millionaire."
Leafa looks over at Leone and smiles. "It may have hurt if not for this girl here," she says. "I couldn't feel better about anyone else winning it. She's such an optimist, such a forward-thinker. When I'm around her, I feel so much better about myself. She won this game fair and square. And she knows when I tried to take her out, it was all gameplay, nothing more."
"You got that right!" Leone says. "Honestly, I woulda sent Leafa to make fire if I could have. I think it was meant to be, the two of us sitting here together at the end of the game, tied in jury votes."
"We bonded from Day 1," Leafa says. "It wasn't like we needed something to bring us together. From the first 'go' we had a great connection. She deserves an awful lot of credit, making fire isn't easy."
"And ya know, when everyone's talking about who made the decisions, it wasn't just one person," Leone adds. "It was the three of us – Siesta and us two. After Siesta left, it was the two of us making moves simultaneously. Neither of us ever deviated from that plan from the moment Hinako was gone."
"Is that a fair assessment, Siesta?" Jet asks.
"While I wish that I was sitting there in the Final Three, I agree that for the most part, it was the three of us making decisions together," Siesta says. "Now, when it came to the Super-Duper Idol, there was definitely some animosity there."
"And for that, I'm truly sorry," Leafa says. "I was thinking too hard about winning and not enough about the here-and-now. Hindsight is 20/20, but man, I wish I could have given you that third puzzle piece."
"It's fine," Siesta says. "You have my forgiveness. Your classy response to finishing second is enough repayment for me."
The crowd applauds as Siesta and Leafa give each other a fist bump.
"The theme of this season was originally supposed to be young vs. old," Jet says. "As it turned out, this season's theme ended up being quitters. We had five people quit, as well as another getting disqualified. Tanizaki, you're the most interesting case here. Why did you quit at the Final Three?"
"Simple, I was sick of these people over here insulting me and putting me down!" Yukari replies. "I'm a teacher, I deserve common courtesy and respect! If these rebellious students want to ignore me, then I'm just leaving the classroom!"
"Miss Yukari, you aren't a bad teacher," Giselle breaks in. "You're misunderstood. If you had stayed in the game, I would have gladly cast me vote in your favor."
"Out of curiosity," Jet says, "how many other jury members would have voted for Tanizaki?"
Killua slowly raises his hand.
"Really, Killua?" Jet says.
"I wasn't happy with either Leone or Leafa after they backstabbed me at the Final Five," Killua says. "I would have gone with Yukari as my winner."
"Well, that's two votes," Jet says.
"Don't forget Lucian," Ragyo states. "Had he been here, it is unlikely, but slightly possible that he would have too."
"Wow," Jet says. "Or should I say – hashtag - #wow. Tanizaki could have received three jury votes. That would have taken away two votes for Leafa and one vote for Leone. We then would have had a 3-3-2 tie, with Leone and Yukari receiving the most votes."
"How would that have worked?" Tsunade asks.
"The two people who voted for the third-place finisher – in this case, Leafa – would be called on to revote, and they'd have to choose either Leone or Yukari. Those two would have been Bisky and Jasmine."
"Well, I wasn't changing to Yukari," Bisky says. "I would have definitely changed my vote to Leone, no doubt about it."
"I don't know," Jasmine says. "I think there's a good possibility that I would have gone for Yukari, because like me, she was the underdog."
"Interesting!" Jet exclaims. "Now we'd have a double tie, and the winner would be decided by the third-place finisher, in this case, Leafa. She'd get to choose the winner between Leone and Yukari."
"Is there any doubt who I'd pick?" Leafa replies, nudging Leone.
Jet chuckles. "Well, we can know that Leone was going to win this game, one way or another. As for Yukari, she could have made things very, very interesting if she had just stayed at Tribal Council."
"I'm a teacher, I make the rules!" Yukari says. "I'm not going to be pushed around by an angry jury. But I picked Leone because she played more advantages than Leafa."
"Hey, we're just throwing out scenarios here," Jet states. "Now, how about our other quitters? Faye, any regrets quitting?"
"None whatsoever," Faye replies, smoking a cigarette.
"How about you, Chad?" Jet asks.
"I do regret it," Chad replies. "I should have taken matters into my own hands and defeated Loly to stop her from torturing the other girls. My story could have been so much better than how it ended up. Now I'm just known as the game's only two-time quitter."
"How about Michiko and Hatchin… or, I mean, Michiko and Dandy?"
"I have no use of your stupid game," Michiko says. "For those losers to say that I wasn't even worthy of playing, to heck with them! I don't need to play that game."
"I would have liked to play this dandy game," Dandy says. "But in retrospect, I'm glad I stayed in space to continue to have dandy adventures… in space."
"Now, let's talk about the two major twists in the game. The first was the Badlands. If your tribe lost the opening challenge, you were sent to the Badlands. Conditions there were not great to say the least, right, Orihime?"
Orihime sighs. "I can't believe what Loly was able to get away with out there."
"Yeah, she should have been stopped long ago," Jasmine adds.
"Well, for future Survivors, any such behavior will not be allowed," Jet firmly states. "It's not even three strikes and you're out. If you do something violent to anyone else in this game, you are automatically immediately thrown out. The only exception is challenges, where you are permitted to interact in physical ways."
"Thank you, Jet," Orihime says.
"Yes, thank you," Jasmine adds. "I am so disappointed that I wasn't able to get the million, but when I found out I got $80,000 – which is 800,000 Poké Dollars – I was quite happy, as was Silver. It looks like we won't have to keep coming on the show in order to get by."
"Now, there was also another twist to the game: Masadora," Jet says. "Giselle, you got to go to Masadora four times. Sometimes it turned out well for you, other times it did not."
"Yeah, next time you set up a 'convenience store for advantages' like that, make sure that I'm getting what I pay for," Giselle says. "I don't want to lose my vote, because that's all the currency I've got."
Jet grins. "Speaking of currency, just wait until next season. For now, let's talk about something that you may not be expecting. We no longer have a fan favorite award voted on by fans, but we do have this: the Miku Award. Hatsune Miku of Vocaloid fame is such a big fan of Survivor that she'd like to give money to several players here."
Everyone starts talking amongst themselves, trying to figure out this award.
"Now, there are four prizes Miku has pledged to give out each season," Jet states. "There's a $10,000 prize, a $25,000 prize, a $50,000 prize, and a $100,000 prize. These prizes are subject to her whims. First, she is giving the $10,000 prize to…"
…
…
…
…
…
"Siesta."
Siesta puts her hands on her mouth in shock. Leafa and Leone congratulate her immediately.
"Miku is giving away her $25,000 prize to…"
…
…
…
…
…
"Orihime."
Orihime starts crying immediately, while Jasmine congratulates her.
"The $50,000 prize goes to…"
…
…
…
…
…
"Jasmine."
"No way!" Jasmine shouts.
"She knows that you could really use that money," Jet says. "But with the $100,000 prize, Miku has decided to award it to…"
…
…
…
…
…
"Hinako."
Hinako begins to jump for joy. The risers clang as she leaps up and down.
"Congratulations, Hinako," Jet says. "That can be put aside for your future education."
"Hina thanks you, Jet-Jet!" Hinako replies. "And Miku-Miku too!"
"In the meantime, I've got to get to the people we haven't spoken with yet. Gary Oak, how did you feel about your time out here?"
"I played super hard and it didn't pay off," Gary replies. "That always sucks."
"Goku, any regrets getting voted out first?"
"Yeah!" Goku says. "I could have spent the time getting stronger and eating at those reward challenges!"
"How about you, Joseph? What will you take away from your time out here?"
Joseph continues to stare into space, causing Tsunade to have to nudge him.
"Oh, me?" he asks. "Can you repeat the question?"
Jet shakes his head. "I think that's a good enough answer on its own. Yui, do you think you could have done anything better?"
"Certainly!" Yui says. "We could have worked as a team better, and I could have made more friends. I wish I could have been out here longer."
"How about you, Bell?"
"This wasn't what I was expecting," Bell replies. "I could have had success had I fit in better, but I just didn't."
"Sebastian, you and Ragyo got pretty close out there."
"That is true," Sebastian says. "But if I didn't do what she wanted me to do, what kind of butler would I be?"
"Sebastian was a good servant," Ragyo says. "I'm upset I couldn't take him to the merge with me."
"Tsunade, did you even do anything out there?" Jet asks.
"What?!" Tsunade shouts. "I was strategizing and sub-strategizing the whole game. Let me tell you about one time. I was-"
"Okay, we're out of time!" Jet exclaims, cutting her off. "Thank you all for watching Survivor: Greed Island. It's your support that keeps us on the air after all these years. Any last thoughts, Leone?"
"Winning is great, but making a close friend is sooo much better," Leone says. "Leafa and I will be friends for life!"
"Okay," Jet says. "I am saying so long for now! I'll see you soon enough."
