(Nikki's Point of View)

After Ben told me the plan, I was all for it. Maybe seeing Ben with me will get him back to his senses.
Ben brought me chocolate whenever he could get to the kitchen without getting beat up. "I think we should stay upstairs until things calm down around here," Ben said.
"If things will ever calm down with that..thing here." Ben was worried about me and i knew that. He felt bad for me that Jason left me for a oversized doll. "I have a plan, but it may be a suicide mission. Are you in?"
I looked into his eyes and knew his plan would get me Jason back. "Its all or nothing with this. We either succeed and live, or we fail and die. I'm willing to try to get him back."

*During the night when all the pastas are asleep*

Ben discusses the plan with me. First, he will be the decoy for the Marionette. He will lead her away from Jason and then my part comes in. I go in his room and try to get a music box away from him.
"The music box is inside his chest, so you'll have to do some digging around to get it. The music box is his heart i think. He takes it out every once in a while to clean it and fix it up, but other than that no one ever touches it."

As Ben led Amy away from Jason's room, i went inside. I took a set of Amy's clothes and put them on just in case Jason woke up and saw me.

Jason was sleeping like a baby, hugging his toys and talking to them in his sleep.
His bare chest was exposed so that was one step of my plan cleared up. All i had to do was get that music box out of him and run out.
Before we set the plan into motion, Ben told me different ways to get the box away from him.
"Theres different ways you can go at this. You can either rip it out of him and run, make him comfortable enough for you to get it from him, or last but not least you can make him think you are the Marionette and he will willingly give it to you. That last one is a last resort so only do that one if you're desperate."

Now here i am, trying to figure out what to do. I couldn't be someone else, so i just did what i always did before Jason was taken from me.
I sat on his bedside and caressed his cheek until he woke up. He smiled at me and hugged me. "Hello, my lovely flower," he said, bringing me into bed with him. I guess i did a pretty good job at looking like that marionette, or he was getting out of it and coming back to me.
Jason had my head against his chest and i could hear the music box start playing as i got closer to him. "My heart plays for you my flower."
He kissed the top of my head and went back to sleep with me in his arms.
Now's my chance. I don't know if this will hurt him, but it's better than him being with that monster.
I kissed him softly as i slowly opened his chest up, giving me full sight of the music box. It was sky blue with gold trim and details on the box. It was freshly cleaned and polished from the looks of it.
As my hand reached for the box, the melody playing from it grew louder and prettier. It's like the box wants to be with me. Like it wants me to take care of it.

Making sure not to awaken Jason, i carefully removed the music box from his chest and closed him back up. I kissed him one more time before returning to Ben's room with the box.
