ERNIE

Ernie - Shailesh Prajapati

Ernie is the owner of Ernie's Brain Freeze.  His place is very popular among the high school students.  He was working when Gia grabbed a table and started working on her homework.  Ernie is working when a few moments later, Jake and Noah walk up to the counter and sit down.  Ernie:  "Hey kids!  What can I get for you?"  Noah:  "The usual."  Jake:  "Ahh, but make it three.  One for each of us and one for the very pretty girl in the corner."  Jake glanced back at Gia.  Ernie grinned.  Ernie:  "Sure!"  Ernie walked away to make the ice cream cones.  A few moments later, he returned with three cones.  Ernie:  "Here you go."  Ernie gave two cones to Jake and one to Noah.  Jake:  "Thank you."  Ernie:  "Six bucks."  Jake proudly pulled out a twenty.  Jake:  "Twenty."  Ernie was suspicious as he took the twenty.  Ernie:  "Twenty bucks?!"  He held the twenty up to the light and realized it was real.  Ernie:  "I'll ring you up."  Ernie walked over to his cash register.  Noah got up and walked over to a table set for toppings.  Suddenly Gia vanished in a yellow swirl.  Jake turned to look over at Gia, and realized she was gone.  Jake:  "Where'd she go?"  Noah vanished in a blue swirl.  Jake look over for his friend, but he was gone as well.  Jake:  "Noah!"  Jake got up and looked around.  Jake:  "Noah?"  Suddenly he vanished in a black swirl.   Ernie missed the whole thing.  He returned with the change and was handing it over, when he realized Jake was gone.  Startled, Ernie looked around and noticed his place was empty.

Ernie's place was busier than normal and Ernie was very happy and excited.  A large group of people sat or stood by a table as a young man, Jordan, excitedly talked to them.  Jordan:  "I am not kidding!  150!  150 against one!  But I hit him over the head with a toaster and I'm like you're toast man, you're toast!"  The crowd was hanging on Jordan's every word.  Troy:  "What gives?"  Ernie was behind the counter as he gathered a few items.  Ernie:  "That guy over there, he's saying that he's the Red Power Ranger."  Troy:  "Really?"  Ernie excitedly carried a tray of drinks over to the table as Jordan continued to tell the crowd about his exciting adventures as a Power Ranger.  Emma and Troy listened as well.  Jordan:  "I rebounded off the wall, okay, let loose with a flying roundhouse kick, and boom!  Down go the monsters!  You want to know what I call that little move?  A typical Tuesday."   Endlessly, Jordan's stories never seemed to stop.   Suddenly a citizen started yelling as he entered the place.  Citizen:  "Somebody help!  Help!  There's a monster attacking the city!"  The stranger ran straight towards Jordan's table.  Citizen:  "You're going to go stop it right?"  Although Jordan was scared, he stood up.  Jordan:  "You bet!"  Jordan left with the crowd cheering him on.  Jordon did confront the Dragonflay, but the Rangers arrived soon after.  The Rangers taught Jordan a lesson and then destroyed Dragonflay with Land Megazord.  Afterwards, Jordan slowly enters Ernie's Brain Freeze, with a huge crowd cheering for him.  Uncomfortably, Jordan tells the crowd, this is very hard for me.  I am not actually a Power Ranger.  The crowd laughs, thinking he is joking around.  Jordan continues, no seriously, the Power Rangers are true heroes.  They are great people too.  I mean, they were super nice to me even after I....lied.  Guess I just wanted the attention.  Anyways, I am sorry.  Really sorry and I hope you can forgive me.  Instead the crowd gives him looks of disgust and walk out.  Jordan walks over to the counter and sits next to Troy.  Troy tells him, it took a lot of courage to do that.  But the real Rangers would be proud of you.  Jordan thanks him.  I learned a lot.  Something about Troy seems familiar to Jordan and he asks if they have met before.  Troy replies I don't think so and then introduces himself.  They shake hands.  Jordan introduces himself as well.  He tells Troy he's a new Jordan as he learned a big lesson today, thanks to the Red Ranger.  Ernie finishes making Jordan's shake and turns around to give it, when he slips.  The drink goes flying but Jordan catches it before it hits the floor.  Ernie is impressed.  Ernie tells Jordan, nice catch.  Where did you learn that?  Jordan replies, just a friend.

Ernie is cleaning a blender and listening to the radio.  A favorite song comes on the radio.  Ernie:  "I love this song!"  Ernie dances his way to the radio and turns up the music.  Jake, Troy, and Noah are sitting at a table.  The loud music is causing Troy pain.  Jake:  "Man it's loud in here today."  Noah:  "What did you say?  I can't hear you, the music is too loud."  Jake:  "Noah, I said...Ernie, could you please turn the music down buddy?"  Ernie:  "Great music."  Troy:  "This music, it's giving me a headache."  Jake:  "I'm sorry man."  Troy gets up and leaves the place, passing Gia on the way out.  Gia walks over to the guys' table.  Gia:  "Is Troy okay?"  Jake & Noah:  "What?!"  Gia:  "I said, is Troy okay?"  Jake & Noah:  "What?!"  Frustrated Gia turned around towards the counter.  Gia:  "Ernie, turn down that music!"  Ernie stopped dancing in mid flow and immediately walked over to the radio and turned it down.  Gia gave a generous smile.  Gia:  "Thank-you!"  Gia sat down and faced the guys.  Gia:  "Now what is wrong with Troy?"  Jake responded light heartily.  Jake:  "The music was bugging him."  Gia was more concern.  Gia:  "Emma had the same problem."  After a few moments, a horrible sound reached Ernie's Brain Freeze.  Everyone, except Ernie who continued to dance, covered their ears and winced in pain.  Gia glanced over at Ernie.  Gia:  "Ernie, I thought I asked you to turn that down?"  Noah:  "Wait.  That's the monster's music."  Jake pulled out his morpher and contacted Troy.  Troy:  "What?"  Jake:  "The monster is attacking the city."  Troy:  "I can't hear you."  Troy paused and then continued.  Troy:  "I can't hear you.  Tell Ernie his music is too loud."  Troy broke the connection.  Jake was surprised.  Jake:  "He hung up on me!"  Noah:  "It must have been the music."  Jake:  "Maybe we should call Emma."  Gia quickly tells him no.  That music has really affected both of them.  I think they should stay away from it.  We can handle this guy on our own.  Gia, Jake, and Noah leave Ernie's Brain Freeze as Ernie continues to dance behind the counter.  The Rangers eventually destroy Dizchord, who was responsible for the horrible music.  The next day, the teens go to Ernie's Brain Freeze.  They sit at a table together.  Noah tells Emma, with all the craziness of the battle, I completely forgot to say, you're an amazing singer.  Ernie walks over with a tray of frozen treats.  He asks them if they heard that concert yesterday?  Gia comments, they were just talking about that.  Ernie continues, that was the most beautiful singing I had ever heard.  Everyone at the table, assumes he is talking about Emma's singing.  Ernie feels lucky that he was able to record some of it.  He begins to play the music as he dances around the place.  It is Dizchord's music.  Everyone covers their ears and race out of the place.  Ernie dances around but stops when he sees the place is empty.
