It was a great day at Lynn's Table. Lynn Sr. was cooking in the kitchen, when suddenly, Ethan came from the front door...
Ethan: Oh, hello, Mr. Loud!
Lynn Sr.: Welcome Ethan, what can I get you?
Ethan: Well... I would like one of my favorite foods in the whole world, pizza!
Lynn Sr.: Funny how you would say that... (takes something out of the oven) ...because that's what I just finished cooking!
Lynn Sr. had put out a large supreme pizza, with pepperoni, sausage, ham, bacon, beef, green peppers, mushrooms, and black olives, in front of Ethan's table. He ate the whole supreme pizza, carefully eating it and taking his time. After he finished, he burped...
Ethan: (burps) Oh, excuse me, Mr. Loud. That pizza was so good!
L.S.: I'm glad you liked it!
Ethan: Could I please have another one, Mr. Loud?
Lynn Sr. had a solemn look, and said, 'Oh, sorry, Ethan, that's the only pizza I've cooked.'
Ethan: (shocked) What?!
L.S.: Yeah, I've got to cook other meals for customers.
Ethan: (turns his head down) So... no pizza?
L.S.; I'll cook up another one later.
Ethan: But I want more now! (sighs) I wish I never had to wait for pizza again!
At that moment, right on cue, Tina walked by...
Tina: Did you say that you wish to never wait for pizza again?
Ethan: Oh, yes, little girl.
L.S.: Uh, Tina, do you have powers for that kind of thing?
Tina: (nods) Of course, Mr. Loud. (turns to Ethan) But, are you sure you want that kind of power?
Ethan: Yes, I do!
Tina: Alright, then, hold my hand, (Ethan does so) and now say what you wish.
Ethan: I wish I never had to wait for pizza ever again!
A flash of light came, and swirled around Ethan...
Tina: Now, touch that plate in front of you.
Ethan touched the plate, and instantly... it turned into a large supreme pizza!
Ethan: Oh, boy!
He ate all the slices of that large pizza. After he finished, Ethan went outside, and saw a piece of paper on the ground. He touched it, and that turned into a pizza box, too! Another large supreme pizza! He finished that one as well. After that, Ethan then thought of something...
Ethan: I just had a great idea! W?hat if I shared this power with some other people?!
Tina and L.S. looked at Ethan in surprise...
Tina: Well, you can. But are you sure you know what you're doing?
Ethan: Certainly, Tina. I'm doing something good for everyone here!
Ethan then whispered in Tina's ear, telling her where he wanted to go. Tina nodded, and then she and Ethan left Lynn's Table.
L.S. looked to the viewers, and said, 'I hope Ethan knows what he's doing.'
Scene cuts to Ethan knocking on someone's bedroom door. The door opened, and the person was revealed to be Winifred 'Fred' Grant...
Fred: (deadpan) Um, hello?
Ethan: Hello, Fred! Your mom let me in. May I ask, what are you doing?
Fred: I'm doing work on my laptop.
Ethan: Oh, I know of something that would make you happy.
Fred: Can't this wait, Ethan? I'm very busy.
Ethan: This will just be a minute, Fred. Now, I'll just put my finger on my laptop. (Ethan does so) And voila!
Ethan turned Fred's laptop into a pizza box. Fred was out of her deadpan stoic look, and now had a shocked look. She looked inside the box, and saw a large supreme pizza...
Fred: My laptop! It's a pizza!
Ethan: I know! Isn't it great?
Fred: (still shocked) It's a pizza!
Ethan: No need to thank me!
Ethan left Fred's bedroom, and told Tina where he wanted to go next. Tina stared at Fred in concern...
Fred: (to the viewers) My best laptop, it's a pizza! Oh, no! (puts her hands on her head)
Next scene...
Tina and Ethan were outside the Gravesfield Historical Society Museum in Gravesfield, Connecticut...
Ethan: Tina, I've already made Fred so happy with her pizza. Now, I wonder how happy I can make Masha!
Tina looked at Ethan with an uneasy look, then they both went inside, where they saw Masha, the museum's non-binary curator reading a book. Masha noticed them, and gestured for them to come over...
Masha: Hi, Ethan, Tina. How are you both doing?
Tina: I'm doing fine, thank you.
Ethan: Same here.
Masha: I got a new history book. It has some great facts and ideas that I could use for a new exhibit here. Want to read this with me?
Before Tina could reply, Ethan spoke up...
Ethan: Oh, I know something that's better than a history book! 1, 2, 3, presto!
Ethan touched Masha's book, and it turned into a large pizza box, to which he opened it to reveal a supreme pizza. Masha went in wide-eyed shock...
Masha: (shocked) It's a pizza!
Ethan: Yes, it is!
Masha: (still shocked) It's a pizza!
Ethan: I'm just doing what makes other people feel good. Don't thank me!
Ethan left the Historical Museum, with tina magically making him disappear. She then looked at Masha in pity. Masha turned to the viewers, and asked, 'How do you read... a pizza?'
Next scene...
Ethan returns to Lynn's Table. where L.S. was still cooking...
Ethan: I'm back.
L.S.: How's that whole pizza touch working out for you?
Ethan: It's great!
L.S.: What can I get you, Ethan? I'm sure you don't need any pizza, right?
Ethan: Oh, no, I've had enough of that today. I would like something else, please?
L.S.: Well, I just cooked up some spaghetti and meatballs. Do you want that?
Ethan: Oh, of course!
L.S. made a plate of spaghetti and meatballs, and set it down in front of Ethan. But he did have to say something...
L.S.: Uh, Ethan, did you think about...
Ethan: (interrupts) There's time for pizza, and times for spaghetti and meatballs.
But when Ethan touched a noodle, his plate of spaghetti and meatballs turned into a pizza box, to his shock...
Ethan: (shocked) What?! Where's my spaghetti and meatballs?! (opens the box to see a pizza) Where did it go?!
L.S..: Well, Ethan, remember that whole 'pizza touch ' thing? Everything you touch turns into a pizza.
Ethan: (now realizing everything) Are you saying... I can never taste yummy spaghetti and meatballs again?
L.S.: No more yummy spaghetti for Ethan.
Ethan: Well, what about your great Lynn-sagna?
L.S.: My Lynn-sagna is 'la-gone-a' (laughs) Get it?
Ethan: (worried) Oh, no! Why didn't I think of that when I made my wish?! (turns optimistic) But look on the bright side, I made some people happy!
Just then, at that moment, Tina walked into Lynn's table with Fred and Masha, who were holding their pizza boxes, and they did not look happy...
Fred/Masha: Ethan!
Fred: I want my laptop back!
Masha: Yeah, and I want my new history book back, too!
Ethan: Well... why don't you eat your pizzas?
Fred and Masha gave Ethan an incredulous look...
Fred: No, I don't want to eat it! I had work to do on that laptop! I want it back!
Masha: And I want my book back! I can't read it if it's a pizza!
Ethan: But, I don't understand. I thought pizzas made everyone happy.
Masha: Oh, it didn't make me happy! This made me sad, and kind of angry!
Fred: Yeah, I'm angry too, and sad!
Ethan: (again worried) Oh, no! I make people sad and angry! (turns to Lynn, Sr.) Mr. Loud, what do I do?!
As he was talking, however, Ethan touched Lynn Sr.'s shoulder, which he then turned into a pizza box...
Ethan: Oh, no, what have I done!
Tina, Fred and Masha were in shock...
Fred/Masha/Tina: Uh-oh!
Ethan: Mr. Loud, how are you feeling?
L.S.: well, come to think of it, I am feeling a little warm.
Tina: Uh, Mr. loud, you might want to take a look at this.
Tina got out a small mirror, and put it in front of the L.S. pizza box, so he could see what he looked like now...
L.S.: (screams) I'm a pizza!
Ethan: (stammers) Oh, don't worry.
L.S.: Don't worry?! I'm a pizza!
Ethan: Yeah, but look at the bright side!
L.S.: Bright side?!
Ethan opened up the L.S. pizza box, and saw a large supreme pizza, and was mouth was drooling...
Ethan: You do look delicious!
Tina/Fred/Masha: Ethan!
Ethan suddenly snapped back into reality, and says, 'Oh, what am I feeling?! I feel terrible!
L.S.: Oh, and how do you think I feel?
Ethan: I wish I never made that wish in the first place!
Tina: (sighs) Finally! I've been waiting to hear that, Ethan. Now, just put your hand in mine. (Ethan does that) Now say, 'I wish that everything I touch doesn't turn into pizza.'
Ethan: 'I wish that everything I touch doesn't turn into pizza.'
At that moment, there was an instant flash in the room. Ethan then asked Tina, 'Did it work?'
Tina: Let's see.
Ethan touched a napkin... and it stayed a napkin.
Ethan: It worked! No more pizza touch!
Tina: And now, let's turn everything back before it became a pizza!
Tina waved her right hand, and another flash happened...
Fred: (now smiling) I got my laptop back!
Masha: And I got back my history book!
L.S. then took Tina's mirror... and saw that he was back to being himself again.
L.S.: Yes, I'm me again!
Tina: Yep, everything is fixed.
Ethan: Thanks, Tina. (to L.S.) Now, I hope to have some of your Lynn-sagna now!
L.S.: Coming right up, Ethan.
As L.S. went back into the kitchen, Tina said to Fred and Masha, 'Now let's get you two back home.'
Fred: (deadpan) Alright, Tina.
Tina, Fred, and Masha then walked out of Lynn's Table, while Ethan waited for L.S. to cook his Lynn-sagna. After L.S. finished cooking it, he handed it over to Ethan, who then ate it all up, messing up his face, and licking the sauce off of his face and fingers when he has finished it. Ethan was now happy eating up the Lynn-sagna, to which L.S. chuckled after seeing him do that.
