Janeway: (On Earth again, in the mall) Ohh, look at that. ICED CAPPUCCINOS! I never thought I'd see the day...

Janeway: (lines up) Oh! I can even choose from a plain one or a chocolate one! Yipeee! (starts jumping up and down)

Guy behind the counter: Next.

(Janeway doesn't notice. She's still looking at the menu in awe)

Guy behind the counter: Next!

(She still doesn't move)

Guy behind the counter: Hey you! Crazy lady jumping up and down! You're next!

Janeway: It's *my* turn? Okay... I'd like an Iced Cappuccino. A chocolate one!

Guy behind the counter: That'll be $1.69 please.

Janeway: (takes her purse out) Here's a shiny gold coin for ya.

Guy behind the counter: Lady that's only ONE dollar!

Janeway: Stingy aren't we? All right, here's another one. (she hands him another one)

Guy behind the counter: Good. Here's your change. Next!

Janeway: Wait! Where's my coffee?!

Guy behind the counter: (very annoyed) Listen very carefully. Stand over there and wait for it! We're still making it!

Janeway: (moves over to the side and starts whistling annoyingly)

Woman in line: Shut up!

Janeway: (stops whistling but starts humming)

Elderly man in line: Shut the hell up!

Janeway: Who, me?

Everyone in line: YES!!!!

Guy behind the counter: Your iced capp is ready!

Janeway: Oooooh! Thank you! (starts drinking it) Mmmm.

THE NEXT DAY

Janeway: That cappuccino really hit the stop yesterday. I think I'll have another one.

Janeway: (lined up at Tim Hortons) I think I'll try a plain one today!

Guy behind the counter: Next!

Janeway: Oh, it's you again! I'll have a plain iced cappuccino please.

Guy behind the counter: Sorry, the machine's broken.

Janeway: WHAT?!

Guy behind the counter: The guy is coming in to fix it tomorrow.

Janeway: But... But, I NEED MY COFFEEEE!!!!

Guy behind the counter: Look lady, what do you expect me to do? The machine's broken.

Janeway: WAHHHHH!!

Guy behind the counter: Why don't you try a different location?

Janeway: Heeey... that's not a bad idea! Thanks! (runs off)

Guy behind the counter: (mutters) Quite a character.

Janeway: (at a different Tim Hortons, she runs through the door) Hi! You HAVE to have iced capps here! Do you have any?

Store clerk: Erm, yeah... we do have those...

Janeway: You do?!

Store clerk: Yes.

Janeway: Really?!

Store clerk: Yes.

Janeway: REALLY?!

Store clerk: YES! Look, just take this! Take it! (she thrusts an extra-large iced capp into Janeway's arms)

Janeway: Hee hee hee, thank you! (grnis)

Janeway: (runs out the door and takes a sip of her coffee) Ahhh.
