Chapter 2
It has been two weeks after burying his cousin and sadly accepting the fact that she's dead. Ben was forever depressed and miserable for the past two weeks after Gwen died, and his family knows he wasn't going to get over it like anyone should but can they blame for having a very close relationship with his cousin. Even though they had love for one another more than just cousins. It was the first week of December and the parents kept on asking their son on what did he want for a Christmas gift but, he doesn't want anything not even a brand new Super Sumo Slam game. Both Mr. and Mrs Tennyson saw how hurt their son is and needed something to cheer him up and so, they asked Mr. Ray and Tiffany for their assistance and two didn't mind doing so.
Mr. Ray comes by and play board games with Ben and taking him to a basketball game. While Tiffany offered to watch the ten year old for free and play cards with the boy. But sadly that was not good enough to make the boy cheer up or even see a smile on his but determined to make it happen, Tiffany Valentine had the greatest idea Christmas present for him and that's a toy. She drove to her and Ray's old friend Eddie who was Chuckys best friend and partner in crime. He can get the things that you ask for that was expensive and sell it to you at a fair price, and Eddies way of getting the goods were guarantee stolen and you can't blame the man. Tiffany got out of her car and made her way up to the abandoned broken down house that made her think all the money he makes, you would have thought he might spend the cash on his home a little bit. She knocked on the door with the quickness as she was freezing cold since it is winter time and the snow just keeps coming down.
The door open wide by Eddie who had long black hair like Ray wearing some beat up clothes, and had on a black jacket that looked like it too was stolen. "Morning Tiff." He said letting her come in as she too smile back at him. "Good morning to you too Eddie and Merry Christmas. Do you have the toy that I requested?." Tiffany asked seeing him taking out a cigarette from his pocket and put it in his mouth and started lighting it. He took a few puffs of it and blew out before speaking and said "Yeah, I have the toy that you requested Tiff. Just wait right here." Tiffany waited patiently for Eddie to come back from the other room and came back with the toy that was in its box wrapped up in Christmas red wrapping paper, and a green bow on the right hand side.
"Here you go Tiff just like you requested. Now that will be sixty bucks." Eddie said taking his hand out for the money.
"Sixty bucks?." Tiffany raise her eyebrow and said with her hand on her hip. "Why the hell does it cost sixty dollars?. It's just a toy...right?." Eddie chuckle at that question while setting the wrapped gift down on the table and smoked his cigarette again and got it taken away from Tiffany as she put it out in the ask tray. "Haha, right Tiff here's why I'm charging you so much. The toy that you requested by itself in store is cost ninety nine dollars during the holidays and during regular season it cost ninety dollars." Eddie explained to her. Tiffany took the money out of her purse and handed to him and then picked the gift up off the table and walked out of the house as Eddie came up to close it but then Tiffany turn around.
"You know for a toy it is a bit crazy to mark it expensive." She said and headed to her car and headed back to the apartment as today was her time to babysit Ben while his parents went out to have their alone time, and quick early Christmas shopping. Tiffany set the box in the back and drove off and made a fast trip to McDonald's for some Egg McGriddle and hash browns before heading to the apartment. At the apartment, Ben was in his space pajamas seating at the table eating his and his cousins favorite cereal that was the Good Guys berry flavor cereal crunch, while watching a classic Good Guy and Girl TV show holiday special. He had his head resting on his hand while spooning some cereal into his mouth.
Chucky was underneath the kitchen sink fixing the leaked pipes as he was a handy man for this apartment and his own. He popped out as the work was finish and set his tools back into the box and closed, and then got up off the floor and see Ben watching the Christmas special as it was over and showed next and advertisement for the Good Guy and Girls dolls. "Act fast because these toys are flying off the shelf like fire!." said the voice guy that was in man suite Good Guys outfit. In front of him was the dolls that he was advertising as it was one Good Guy and one Good Girl and went on selling the deal to the viewers who are watching the advertisement. "Mom and Dad act fast and get your son or daughter a Good doll this Christmas. These dolls are highly recommend toys that are friendly to kids." He said and started chuckling like a fool.
Chucky never liked these types of commercials that sucker you into buying things that you didn't want, and blow away your hard earns pay for a piece of plastic that the kid will eventually don't want anymore. "These toys can respond back to you when talking to them. Heck, they can even remember you kids name and talk to them like actual lived kids!." The man in suite said as the Good Guys doll turned his head to his counter part asked the Good Girls doll. Then the doll said in his kid voice "Ain't that right cuz?." The Good Girls doll turn her head and chuckle and said "You bet!. Haha." The TV was turn off making Ben turn his head to see Mr. Ray with the remote in his hand and sat it down on the table.
"I hate that sucker up commercial." He told Ben and sat down and grab a orange from the fruit bowl. "Why do you say it's a suck up commercial Mr. Ray?." Ben asked taking a bite of his cereal. Chucky pilled the skin off the orange and take a piece off and put it in his mouth before answering. "Because Ben this is the right time of year for selling things that you really don't need and such." Chucky said swallowing his orange and pull another slice. "It's all about making a dollar in this sad miserable world. Remember that kid." He told him as Ben nodded and went back to eating his cereal. After eating breakfast he place his bowl in the sink and went to clean up the table and put the box of cereal back in the cabinet and planning on heading to his room play Sumo Slammers on his computer but that's when the door open up, as Tiffany had a spare key to the house and came in with a McDonald's bag in her hand and had a thirty one inch box underneath her arm. "Hey boys I'm here." said Tiffany closing the door behind her with her black boot and closed it shut, and then made her way to the table to set the stuff down on the table.
"Hi Ms. Valentine. Welcome back." Ben answered not in the mood for smiling making Tiffany notice and glad to buy the gift from Eddie as he truly needs something to comfort on.
"Say sweet face I brought you something for you." said Tiffany presenting the wrapped present to the ten year old. "I thought it would be nice for you to open my gift to you early. please." She begged nicely to Ben. Ben looked back at Mr. Ray seeing the man smile and nodded to him and look back at Tiffany who also smile as well hoping he would take it off her hands. "O... O... O... Okay Ms. Valentine and thank you." He said taking the present from and slowly unwrapping the gift to Tiffany's delight knowing his going to love the toy very much as this toy he always wanted when he was five. Ben ripped the paper off in the middle and see a gold and red bold word that said Good, feeling a quick excitement as he started to pick up speed on unwrapping the his gift. Eventually he took off the wrapping paper and drop his excitement as he the whole words on box as the last word was the opposite sex.
"A Good Girls doll?." Ben looked at Tiffany and asked "You brought me a Good Girls doll?." Confused after hearing that she looked at the back and see a picture of the Good Girl as it is a a Good Girls doll. "Damn it Eddie. He told me he got the right toy that I requested." She said now upset about giving Ben the wrong toy and giving that man her sixty bucks. Chucky chuckle knowing that his best must have been drunk when he went out stealing for the things that was requested. "You should have check your gift before paying him." He said getting up from his seat and join the two. Ben focused his eyes back on to the doll and notice something very special about it as her eyes were familiar and life like he begin open the box up, and pull out the doll and see this version was a tab bit mature.
"And this Good Girls doll is a sexy version." Ben commented looking at how hot and thick his toy is as that was no lie.
"Damn she's thick. I see you're going to have a lot of fun with your lady friend kid." Chucky said chuckling on the last part as Tiffany slapped him hard in the arm as she didn't want Ben to have any ideas on playing with the doll in a sexual way. Ben examine his doll as it was twenty six inch tall that had orange hair making the doll look very similar and familiar. Without giving the chance to say hello to the doll it introduced herself in a cheerful happy voice. "Hi!. My name is Becky and I'm your best friend to the very end!. tally ho!." with that she giggle in a joyful way. This surprised Ben as he knew that every Good toy can't be activated unless someone talks to it first but this toy made the first move. That was very odd and weird for that to even happened as the grown adults noticed that as well.
"Huh must be an improved version considering the mature body and all." Mr. Ray said thinking that must have been it but his girlfriend had a second opinion.
"Or it must be defective. Here give me the doll back so I can get my money back, and get the right toy too." said Tiffany open her hand so Ben can give it to her.
"Ummmmm, actually Ms. Valentine, I don't mind keeping this doll." said Ben holding the doll tight.
"What?. You don't want a Good Guys doll?." She asked him now confused as ever.
Ben shook his head no and did the unexpected in was him smiling and prevent anymore questions, he put the doll facing the other way and walked out to go to his room and have a quality time with his toy. Tiffany smiled even though it was the wrong gift but at least the boy was smiling again and that what really mattered. She folded her arms while seeing the boy heading to his room with his toy looking at her as it did something that was very weird. The doll smiled and winked at her and turn back to its normal face expression as it was a her mouth slightly open. This sended chills up down her spine when that happened while Chucky was going through the fridge and pull out a glass beer.
"Chucky you want believe what I just witness." Tiffany told him as he pooped the cap open.
"Like want Tiff?." Chucky asked taking a swig of his beer bottle. Tiffany looked at him with a concern look.
"That doll smile and winked at me like she knows me. Plus, those eyes looked very familiar." She told him as this was a scary thought. Chucky took another swig of his beer to get a good taste of the alcohol as he love his beer. "Like I said before Tiff it's must be a improved version." He told her and made his way to the couch to watch some TV to pass the time since Ben's parents wouldn't be back until around midnight. Meanwhile Ben shut the door to his room and sat his toy on the bed, and then sat down in his chair and log in to play on his computer until dinner time is here. While doing so the doll dropped her original posture and had her leg cross looking at her owner with a smile to see her favorite person.
"Hey Ben aren't you going to play with me?." Gwen asked in her doll farm as Ben stopped playing his game and turn around to see his toy was talking on its own.
"Well Becky, I just don't know what we can play. Besides what can I do with doll like you?." said Ben going back to his computer to resume playing.
Gwen smiled seductive when hearing her cousin ask that question and still can't believe he still haven't realize he was talking to her dead lover. "I got a game to play and it's call feeding your doll because I'm hungry as hell." She said rubbing her stomach. Ben stopped at what he was doing as his brain finally connected to his ears and recognize the dolls familiar voice. Ben turn his chair around and see the Good Girls doll smiling right at him as if she knew him all too well. He looked good at doll as she had the same eye color and same hair color as his dead cousin but doubt that it was no coincidence. He got up from his chair and picked up his toy and automatically get hugged from her as she snuggled up to him like she was his girlfriend.
Ben didn't like where this was going and put a stop to it by dropping her down back on the bed stepped away from her. "Okay now you're starting to make me rethink my decision on keeping you." Ben told her. Gwen crossed her arms and felt a little pain of hurt to hear that from her cousin. "Ben?. This is the way to treat me?. Your cousin slash lover?." She asked of him with a pout look. When he heard the word cousin from her mouth it all made complete perfect sense to him. The familiar eye color, the voice, and hearing the word cousin, this made Ben give his full undivided attention to doll as she smile to see it finally clicked to Ben's head.
"G... G... G... Gwen?. Is that you?." Ben asked not wanting to get his hopes up.
Gwen stand up still having her smile in place with open arms and said with great news. "The one and only dweeb." She said and immediately was pulled in for a hug and then was kissed by the lips as this was very passionate. Ben broke the kiss from his lips and had tears flowing down his face. "Oh, Gwen, I... I... I thought I will never see you again." He told her in a cry voice. Gwen bent down to kiss her lover again to ease his sadness as too thought she was never going to see him again as well. "I know Ben but I'm back and nothing is going to stop us from loving each other." She told him. With hearing the guarantee from his cousins voice he felt sadness flown out of his body and replaced with full complete happiness.
Now after being reunionietd together for good. Ben and Gwen spend the whole day playing games on the computer and then did a quick make out session, and now they were chilling in the living room seating down while Gwen was in her doll mode as Ben was paying Gwen's favorite game call Cross Word Puzzle even though this wasn't Ben's thing but Gwen wanted to play it any way. Tiffany who was cooking dinner was watching how happy Ben was with that Good Girls doll a little bit too much for a boy. The reason why she had her suspicion about the doll is because it smile and winked at her making it very creepy to see that happen to her.
Sure she had dolls before when she was a kid as the dolls she had can laugh when giving it a squeeze on arm or even fake cry when the doll baby didn't get it's fake milk bottle. But why can't she accept the same thing about the Good Girls doll?. That's the question that was hard to understand about that issue while cutting up the carrots and celery and putting it in the pot of soup. On the couch still watching the news on the TV set, Mr. Ray had no idea to watch today as the channels kelp showing the same thing and so this is the best thing. The News came back on after the commercials was over as the screen show Breaking News in read bold letters letting you know this was super urgent.
"Breaking news folks". said the News Anchor men as his female partner started telling the news.
"The investigation of the death of a ten year old girl by the name of Gwen Tennyson has been confirmed on who murdered her." After hearing her name and the investigation of her death she turn her head to to the TV as Ben was hearing the news, and see his cousin watching on to the news. "The Lab reports have came through saying that the bullet that shot and killed the little girl belongs to New Jerseys deadliest gangster leader, by the name of Diego King." Tiffany stopped cooking dinner to listen and watch was being said by the women's voice, and then noticed that the doll was watching the news as well making things very suspicious. "Please lookout for a man with this name and face. He is considered wanted and dangerous. Don't be scared to call make a report to the police." the Anchor man said as a picture of the crook was shown beside him.
Gwen had her eyes very close to the screen looking at the picture in anger but didn't show it and didn't want to get busted by neither Mr. Ray or Tiffany. The TV was turn off making Gwen turn her head to see Mr. Ray with the remote in his hands as he had a none happy look on his face as he sat the remote control on the table. "I sure hope they find that bastard in time before I will. Because I do find him I'm going to make him pay." Chucky said in his dark mad voice. Tiffany snapped her fingers to get his mind out from the thought of murdering. "Chucky don't say that in front Ben." She worn him but Chucky refuse to be quiet.
"Why not Tiff?. The asshole shot and killed Gwen who hasn't have an evil bone in her body. That little girl had dreams of going to college and becoming a Doctor." Chucky said slamming his fist down on the table in anger.
Ignoring the slam to the table from her hot tempered boyfriend, Tiffany told Ben to go wash his hands and come back to eat. When done setting up the table for dinner the three all sat down and said grace, and went to dig in as Tiffany started passing a bowl of soup to Ben and Chucky to eat and then sat another bowl down for the doll. Wait...the doll?. "Ben why is Becky seating here?." Tiffany asked the ten year old boy. Ben took the spoon out of his mouth and sat it down in his bowl and said "She was hungry and her name is not Becky, it's Gwen." Chucky stopped taking a bite of his meal when he heard Ben calling the doll Gwen instead of Becky as that was freaking weird.
"Uh, Ben?. Why are you calling your toy Gwen?." He asked looking at the doll seeing she was staring right at him.
"Because Mr. Ray that's her name. Gwen." Ben answered as he lean to his side and gave a kiss to his doll on the check.
Tiffany didn't like where this was heading and needed to put a stop to it. "Ben honey I know this doll look almost like your cousin but that's not Gwen. We buried your cousin two weeks ago." She told her as Ben pulled the doll close to him.
"But she is Gwen. Here let me show you, Gwen say something." Ben told her as Gwen turn her head to see Tiffany and answered in her programmed doll voice. "Hi!. I'm Bens best friend Becky and we're buddies to the very end. Tally ho!. Haha." Ben turn the doll to face him as that wasn't he expected to happen as that was confusing. "Gwwwwwwwen stop playing and speak for you." Ben told her as the two adults look at the poor boy thinking he finally cracked up and this was serious. Tiffany got up and walk over to Ben and gently turn him around to see her.
"Ben honey, Gwen is dead and this doll is not your dead cousin. Please don't hurt yourself to think that just because she looks almost like her besides the clothing, it's not her." Tiffany explained to the boy as he nodded and took the toy to his room.
"She does look familiar but you are right about that sex doll not being Gwen." Chucky commented and resumed eating his meal. Tiffany thought she was doing the right thing by telling him the truth but for some odd reason she felt that Ben might be right. She shake the idea out of her head as Ben came back by himself and went back to eating. When done with dinner Ben went to bed as night time came, while Mr. Ray told him good night and headed out to his and Tiffany's apartment and headed to bed. Tiffany stayed to watch Ben and then leave home after done cleaning up the kitchen and finish washing dishes. When done putting the last dish up she went to Ben's room to tuck him in for the night.
Tiffany open the door as she sees Ben in his bed with his lamp on reading his favorite Marvel comic, while have the Good Girls doll beside him. "Alright sweet face bed time." She told him as she went over to tuck him in. Ben sat his comic book on the small dresser and wrapped his arm tight around his toy. Tiffany truly didn't like how attached Ben was with the doll but this was his gift unfortunately and their is no such thing as taking back a gift that, was giving by the person who brought it. "Good night Ms. Valentine, and Merry Christmas." Ben said yawning lay his head down. Tiffany place a kiss on the top of his head and rough up his hair and turn off the light.
"Merry Christmas to you too Ben. Night." Tiffany answered and headed her way out until Ben call her back.
"By the way Ms. Valentine don't worry about Gwen's murder. He'll soon be brought to justice." He told her giving her a confidence smile.
Tiffany smiled and said "Awwwww, how sweet. I'm sure hope the cops will find that killer in time before he can hurt any other child." Ben dropped his smile and said to her parents friend in complete honesty. "I'm not talking about the cops. I'm talking about Gwen." Tiffany smile dropped automatically as she once again hearing Ben talking about his electric sex toy doll being his dead cousin. "What?. W... W.. What did your doll tell you?." She dared to ask to play along with Ben's crazy imagination.
Ben got and pull the doll in front of him and begin talking. "Gwen told me that she's going get her revenge on that fucker her shot her, and go out and kill his gang. She told me that bastard has it coming." Tiffany quickly stopped Ben for saying any more as she knows that Ben was far from being known to be a potty mouth and it's not going to happen tonight. "Ben don't you ever cuss again. You hear me?." She asked him sternly. Ben didn't speak but nod his head and went back to laying down to fall asleep. With that she closed the door and headed to the bathroom to go use it and headed home. After this she needed some aspirin to relieve her pain in the head as this was too much for her.
"I should really consider thinking about taking that doll back. I see right now that doll is not a good type of toy for Ben to even play with." said Tiffany after done finishing using the toilet and now washing her hands. When done getting her hands dry she got out of the bathroom and headed out on her way to door that was until she spotted the TV turned on to the News that was still talking about the murder case saying it was still under more investigation. But that was besides the point to Tiffany as she walked over to the couch and saw before was the Good Girls doll, who had the remote control beside her with a jar of cookies on the other side, along with a chocolate chip cookie in hand.
"How the hell did you get here?." She asked and grab the remote control to turn off the TV. Then she took the cookie out of the dolls hand and see that the cookie had a bite taken out of it. "Ben." Tiffany thought as she picked the doll up and went right back to Ben's room. Ben woke up to see Tiffany with his Good Girls doll and wonder what his cousin just did. "Ben it's late and I want to go home and get some rest. Please stop pulling a prank on me." Tiffany told him as she threw the doll at him to catch it and close the door behind her. Not wanting to even asked to what she was doing in the other room, Ben sat his toy underneath the covers and got comfortable in his bed. Ben looked at his doll that he clams that Gwens soul was inside the toy as she turn her head to the door, where she saw Tiffany's shadow and saw that she was listening.
"Gwen?." Ben said as her cousin turn her head back to him. "Good night buddy see you in the morning." She answered in her programmed doll voice and then turn her head back to the door, and see the lights in the hallway was turn off. "Night to you too... Becky." Ben said not happy how his cousin was acting like a dum toy and make Mr. Ray and Tiffany think that his crazy. Seeing the close was clear she turned back to her cousin who was knocked out cold.
"Night Ben. Love you." Gwen answered and drove off to sleep.
