MMPR Gold, Silver and Orange Ranger/Chapter 11: Happy Birthday Zack

----In the Youth Center, at night-time, the Rangers, except Zack, were getting the place set up for a surprise party for Zack's birthday, which was tomorrow. Ernie saw that Billy's cake making machine called the cake-o-matic going funny. Sophie was putting up party ribbons all over the place, and hiding them so Zack wouldn't know they were there. Billy was dancing and listening to music with some headphones. Trini was painting a banner, while Kimberly was blowing up balloons.
Billy approached Trini and Kimberly, as Ernie walked out from behind the counter, then got in front of the cake-o-matic, then he began to fiddle and slap it.
"You're right, Kimberly!" Billy said. "The performers assembled to create this harmonious tune transcend all predecessors to this genre of music!"
"Translation please?" Kimberly asked.
"He likes the music." Trini said.
"You're the only one who can understand Billy, Trini." Sophie said, coming up to put some more ribbons up.
Ernie opened up the cake-o-matic, causing cake mix to spit out of it.
"Billy!" He called.
Sophie saw he had his hand in Billy's cake making machine, which was spitting out cake mix.
"You gotta help me, Billy! Billy! I need you!" Ernie called.
"Billy!" Kimberly said.
"Billy!" Ernie called.
"Billy!" Kimberly said.
"Billy!" Trini said.
"Billy!" Sophie said.
Ernie put his hand into the mix, pulling some of it out.
Ash and Dawn sweat dropped.
Billy then felt someone tap him on the shoulder and then remove the headphones.
"Yo dude, you might want to do something about that." Marcus pointed over to where Ernie was.
Ernie then slipped on some cake mix, and fell down.
"Uh oh." He muttered.
He ran to the machine, then turned off the machine, and then turned to Ernie, who was covered in cake mix.
"I guess I still got to work the kinks out of this thing." Billy said, crouching down.
"I hate machines!" Ernie said.
More cake mix fell onto his head, covering all but his mouth.
----In the palace, Rita laughed as she took her eye out of the telescope, as Finster stood near her.
"A birthday?" She asked. "We must make a present."
"Oh, yes." Finster said. "I have just the present in mind for good old Zack. I'm going to make a monster that will wipe him out. For good!"
"Oh, yeah!" Rita laughed.
----At the Youth Center, after cleaning up the cake mix, the Rangers went back to getting the place ready for Zack's surprise party, while Billy worked on getting his cake-o-matic working.
"It looks all right." Kimberly said, admiring the banner Trini painted.
"Kimberly, get back to work." Trini said.
They both laughed, before Kimberly got up, then jumped and sat on the counter.
"How's it going, Billy?" She asked.
"Yeah, did you fix it?" Sophie asked, coming over to them.
"I fail to ascertain why this appliance isn't working." Billy said. "I mean, the molecular mix re-arranger's still intact."
"Problems?" Jason asked, walking in with two cans of paint.
"The cake-o-matic that Billy built for Zack's surprise party. It went on the warpath." Ernie said. "Nearly drowned me in cake mix."
Sophie and Kimberly giggled.
"Should have made it the old fashioned way!" Sophie said.
"Hey listen, Ernie, I wanted to thank you for keeping the place open late tonight. So we could decorate for Zack's birthday party." Jason said.
"Boy, is he gonna be surprised." Ernie said. "And speaking of surprises, you guys will never guess what I found out about the Power Rangers!"
"The, ur, Power who?" Billy asked, innocently.
"You know! The superheroes with the large Dinozords?" Ernie asked.
"The ones with the colored costumes?" Jason inquired.
"That's them!" Ernie said. "You know, they'll do for Angel Grove, what Batman has done for Gotham City."
"I think I've seen them on TV." Jason said.
"Yeah, me too." Sophie said.
"What have you heard?" Jason asked.
"I've heard they're regular humans, just like you and me." Ernie said.
He turned and walked off to the drawers behind him, as Billy and Jason nodded to each other.
"Well, you know, I heard, that they were space aliens, from a distant planet." Jason said.
"Aliens?" Ernie asked, approaching them.
"That's what I heard to." Sophie said. "Rita destroyed their planet years ago. And they came here to make sure ours doesn't suffer the same fate."
"Yeah, but you know, we should keep this space alien stuff under our hats." Jason said. "I mean, we wouldn't want to panic anybody."
"Aliens." Ernie said, who then turned around. "Whoa, this is big."
Jason, Billy and Sophie sniggered as Kimberly rolled her eyes. At that moment however, Bulk and Skull came in - Bulk dragging Skull by the nose - as Sophie turned to them.
"Oh, just great. That's all we need." She muttered, facepalming herself.
"Well, well, well." Bulk said, letting Skull go. "If it isn't the nerd patrol from Angel Grove High."
"Uh, this place is closed fellas." Billy said.
"Yeah! To nerds like you." Bulk said, lifting Billy onto the counter.
"Hey Bulky." Skull said, who was holding Trini's banner. "Lookie what we have here."
Trini tried to take the banner back, but Skull pulled it away.
"Whoa! Whoops! A birthday party, aww!" He mocked.
"Yeah, well we would've initiated you, but animals aren't allowed." Kimberly said.
"So why don't you get out here?" Sophie asked.
Bulk then blew his nose on the banner.
"Party's over kids." He said.
Trini tried to get it back, but Bulk pulled it away.
"Hey, I worked a long time on that!" She said.
Skull then pulled Trini so she was facing him.
